"Those people should be 'Photons'!"
The mental devil's soul ripples suddenly turned sharp. "Hide now! Don't let them detect us!"
In the meantime, information about 'Photons' flooded out of Li Yao's soul too.
The priests of the Alliance of the Holy Covenant were divided into different titles and ranks according to their abilities and areas of jurisdiction. However, most of the priests were only responsible for the work of faith, education, and brainwashing, and did not directly participate in the battle.
The priests belonged to the Water Clan, one of the five tribes of the Holy League, and battles were mainly the responsibility of the Fire Clan.
However, since they were the core class of the Holy League, it was impossible that they did not have their own battle team. The so-called 'Photons' were a bunch of 'battle priests' who were personally trained and commanded by the Ultimate Benevolence Masters and boasted high combat ability and unwavering faith.
In other words, the Photon Troop was a special troop under the direct command of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters. It was similar to the Imperial Guards. Their selection criteria were a hundred times harsher than those of the regular Blessed Army. Even the cleaners of the Heresy Inquisition were not as good as them.
The yakshas might be comparable to the Photon Troop in terms of combat ability, but they were not nearly as good as the Photon Troop in terms of mental power and faith.
In the Covenant Alliance's network of information that was as vast as an ocean, there was little information about the photon troop. Li Yao and the mental devil had only 'heard' that such a troop existed, but they could not find many battle videos and training files.
However, the troop that unleashed such immense mental power was like a boundless electric net. Even Li Yao, who was lurking far away, sensed the shrieks and surges of his soul. Who else could it be if not 'Photons'?
In his trance, Li Yao saw that every Photon Troop unleashed a hundred bolts of lightning as thick as a child's arm and struck the depths of the medical center mercilessly. Thousands of bolts of lightning interweaved into a storm of destruction that could almost melt iron.
It was needless to say that the body of flesh and blood was about to be obliterated in the blink of an eye!
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that it was fortunate that his intuition was sharp enough to stop his movement at the last moment. If he had been one second later and jumped out, wouldn't he have been a shield for the King of Puppets, Lu Qingchen?
Although he was the best expert in the Pangu universe, he was still dazed by the lightning when dozens of 'photons' blew out the most powerful lightning at the same time. His eyes were spitting fire!
At the same time, he realized that the Ultimate Benevolence Masters were indeed not as simple as they seemed. The Ultimate Benevolence Masters had only sent the yaksha squad and a few special forces of the Blessed Army to capture the Puppet King. The so-called "ghost catching plan" was just a disguise. The yaksha squad, the cleaners, and the special forces of the Blessed Army were all baits for the Puppet King to corrupt. Those "photons" were the real catchers. This was the real "ghost catching plan"!
The Ultimate Benevolence Masters must have foreseen that the Eternal Light would fall into chaos.
However, if they could capture the Puppet King, who was their most dangerous enemy, even sacrificing ten Eternal Radiance Ships would be worth it.
Those guys were indeed jackals of the same tribe. They were both cold, evil, and disregarded humanity and human lives!
"The Ultimate Benevolence Masters have long planned this. The capture operation is inevitable. What do we do?"
The mental devil asked.
Li Yao was rather conflicted.
While he strongly disapproved of what Lu Qingchen, the King of Puppets, did, and he wanted to lash and humiliate the scumbag brutally, he did not want the Puppet King to fall into the hands of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters.
Leaving the safety of the Xing Yao Federation aside, Lu Qingchen knew a lot of secrets about 'Vulture Li Yao'. They shared the same origin, and their soul waves had the same model. It would be very troublesome if the Puppet King fell into other people's hands.
"Let's wait and see."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "If the Puppet King is really Lu Qingchen, the guy won't submit so easily, will he? We'll be ready to capture him at any time!"
As he expected, hardly had the idea popped up in Li Yao's soul when disobedient, weird laughter echoed deep inside the medical center where the mental lightning was densest and brightest.
For a moment, gloomy wind was blowing, and the place was filled with ghastly air. The space hundreds of square meters nearby seemed to have turned into a gloomy, terrifying battlefield. Black smoke, air currents, swirls, and lightning were everywhere!
"Negative feelings. Such intense negative feelings!"
The mental devil exclaimed in a drooling voice, "Jealousy, arrogance, fury, greed, hatred … Infinite negative feelings are being released from the medical center. God, what did the Puppet King go through when he left the Federation? How did he accumulate such intense negative feelings?"
"He might not have accumulated them on his own. It is very possible that he 'stole' them from the Channeling Temple!"
Li Yao said solemnly, "So many captives of the Imperium were captured in the Channeling Temple and had their feelings, memories, and selves erased. The moment they lost everything, they must've felt the most pain, fury, and hatred, and they would've unleashed overwhelming negative feelings. Since Lu Qingchen, the Puppet King, had planted his accomplices in the Channeling Temple a long time ago, how could he not have thought of building the negative feelings into weapons with such precious' resources'?"
"Fair enough!"
The mental devil shrieked. "Huh. That's not right. Why do I feel that you have become smarter all of a sudden?"
"Like I said, it's because your wisdom has been absorbed by me!"
Li Yao said, "You and I are one in the first place. It doesn't matter who is smarter. All in all, observe Lu Qingchen's combat pattern carefully and be prepared to take advantage of the situation!"
In the blink of an eye, the dozens of 'photons' who were pure-hearted and resolute were already entangled by the negative feelings drifting in the air.
The negative feelings were wriggling crazily on their bodies like black vipers, electric eels, and leeches, trying to find a gap that they could invade. As a result, their previously pure, white, sacred brilliance was stained with ugly black spots.
Panic and pain beamed out of the 'photons' '' faces. Their hands blossomed like lotuses as they made all kinds of gestures. In the sacred and inviolable chants, the negative feelings were torn apart and dispersed again, turning into raging black fog that could not approach them at all.
However, the momentary pause was already enough for the Puppet King to catch his breath and counterattack.
The hideous laughter deep inside the medical center was more and more miserable and louder, eventually turning into an unstoppable tide.
The mental grids that covered the medical center seemed to have been ripped apart brutally by an invisible force. They turned into embers of electric arcs and fled in a hurry in the air.
On the other hand, the indescribable darkness, evilness, and madness that seemed to be the amalgamation of the negative feelings of thousands of people slowly rose up like an octopus that had risen from the bottom of the ocean.
"You want to suppress me with just the puppets?"
Deep inside the darkness, the Puppet King's wild laughter echoed. "In your dreams!"
"Zi, zi, zi, zi!"
Zi! Zi! Countless black bolts of lightning darted out of the core of the 'octopus' and pierced through the brain of every 'photon' instantly.
It was not the lightning that existed in reality and could be resisted by spiritual shields and iron suits. It was the most intense attack in the mental world that was higher than reality.
In a moment, the eyes of all the 'photons' turned dark.
Some of the photons had the panic and horror as if they had fallen into a nightmare on their faces. They were shivering in fear and foaming at the mouth.
Some of the photons gritted their teeth and resisted the dark power, but they fell from the sky with blood spurting out crazily.
Some of the other photons also had clusters of veins that looked like earthworms protruding out of their foreheads, especially their temples. The veins were almost black as if venom was surging out, before they exploded in cracking noises in the end.
In the blink of an eye, the suppression array made of dozens of photons was shattered by the Puppet King's mental attack and was on the verge of collapse.
Li Yao crouched nearby and watched the Puppet King's performance in person. He was even more dumbfounded and infuriated.
"What's wrong with this guy? After only a few years, the hardness of his soul has soared to such an unbelievable level. It's even more terrifying than when Blackstar the Great fully unleashed his mental power at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Pyramid!
Li Yao had to admit that the mental devil was right.
Perhaps, in the Pangu universe, there were a few people who were slightly more talented and luckier than him. So, their training speed was slightly … faster than his.
"Hey, the Puppet King doesn't seem to need our help. He can take care of all the 'photons' on his own easily. He's about to break free and escape."
The mental devil said, "Are you sure you want to kidnap him, tie him up, and humiliate him?"
"Well …"
Li Yao considered carefully.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Not far away, the octopus that was as black as ink, which was the symbol of the Puppet King on the mental level, extended all its tentacles to the maximum and waved them brutally, triggering thunderous roars that raised rolling blasts that blew all the 'photons' into pieces and sent them flying like kites whose strings had been cut.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot. You overestimate yourself. No one can stop me in the spiritual world!"
The Puppet King laughed aloud. His dark power soared to the sky, and he was about to leave.
"I think we have a great advantage right now."
Li Yao said calmly, "So, why don't we wait and see? What do you think?"
"… I think it's a good idea."
The mental devil said, "Then, are you going to follow him stealthily and ambush him again when there is an opportunity?"
"Of course. It's not that we're scared of a head-on clash with him, but it's unnecessary. There's no need to follow the rules when dealing with such shameless evildoers. We'll ambush him if we can!"
Li Yao picked up his six limbs and was about to follow the Puppet King's dark power stealthily, when shocking changes took place again.
The Puppet King's dark power was retracted the moment it soared to the sky.
