For a moment, Li Yao seemed to see a level-15 tornado spreading out from the medical center to all directions with black tides hundreds of meters high with an unstoppable momentum that could sweep everything away and destroy everything in its path.
It was a force that was enough to destroy the entire Eternal Light and even twist the entire Sector.
What made up the black tides were thousands of angry, painful, twisted, and desperate faces. They were the deepest negative emotions of human beings that the Puppet King had absorbed.
Although the mental devil fed on negative emotions and helped Li Yao resist, swallow, and digest them crazily, he still felt that his soul was unsteady and about to fall apart.
It was like a human being eating five hundred steamed buns for a meal. Their internal organs would explode too!
The powerful "fear bomb" was too appalling.
Thankfully, most of the citizens of Light had left the downtown and entered the pathways and cabins. Otherwise, Li Yao estimated that the explosion of the Puppet King's soul would've driven hundreds of thousands of people mad and turned them into bloodthirsty Asuras, hungry ghosts, and infuriated fiends!
Li Yao was only an observer, yet he was already under such tremendous mental pressure. Master Illusionary Sea and Master Sky Burning, who bore the brunt of the attack, were even more corrupted by negative emotions.
The last thing that Li Yao "saw" was that the tides raised by the explosion left countless shocking holes on their images. The black tentacles followed closely and stabbed into the images of the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters through the wounds, trying to disintegrate their faith and mental power.
Then, Li Yao saw nothing anymore.
His vision was completely shrouded by the black tide that blotted out the sky.
Or rather, the most frenzied streams of information and data were surging around his soul, exploding, savaging, and chaotic, making it impossible for him to observe, scan, or analyze at all.
Of course, if he wanted to observe every detail of the Puppet King's soul explosion, Li Yao estimated that he could've done it by focusing his soul to the maximum.
However, in such a way, it was inevitable that he would leave traces on the Spiritual Nexus and his mental ocean.
When he observed other people, other people could observe him, too.
When he strengthened his observation of others, it was inevitable that others would notice his "gaze".
So, for safety's sake, he should curl up for a while longer, right?
Holding his head, Li Yao endured the blast of information caused by the Puppet King's self-detonation in silence. He felt that thousands, no, 1.08 billion, ghosts were rushing over his head. It was not until a couple of minutes later that the tides of negative feelings gradually dispersed.
The Puppet King's power was exhausted.
The surrounding skyscrapers still looked the same as they did three to five minutes ago, but they were filled with resentment and murderous intent. They were even quieter than tombs, like a haunted house with cobwebs all over the tombstones.
The broken negative emotions were still jumping in midair like raging black flames before they perished bit by bit.
The images of the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters were both incomplete. They looked like mountains that had been blown up, revealing the ugly core. They were still corroded by the black fog and bubbling nonstop, unable to recover the magnificence and magnificence a moment ago.
"The Puppet King … is finished just like that?"
Li Yao scanned again and again, only to find no life information of the Puppet King. He was greatly puzzled. "It can't be. Did the Puppet King really do what he said and 'fought' the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters to defend the dignity of mankind, only to discover that he was no match for them, and he burned his life and soul instead of giving in?
"No, it can't be. Was I wrong about him? He's not as sleazy as I thought?"
"It's very possible."
The mental devil said, "Not everybody can be like that … What I mean is, not everybody can be so sleazy as to talk righteously and sneak away like that.
"All in all, the Puppet King did launch a suicidal attack just now, blowing up half of the images of the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters. I estimate that even though the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters were still thousands of kilometers away in person, their minds and brains must've been seriously wounded.
"What do you think? Should we take advantage of the situation and kill the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters? It's probably our best opportunity to kill him when he's weak! "
Li Yao's original purpose of sneaking into the Holy League was to lock onto the coordinates of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters and summon the elite assault team of the Imperium to execute the decapitation strategy.
Even if he could only kill one or two of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters, it would be a great advantage in the upcoming strategic battle.
However, with such a great opportunity in front of him, Li Yao hesitated again.
His intuition was aching faintly, as if a red-hot iron rod was stirring his soul.
"I … I don't know. I feel that it's not as simple as it seems."
Li Yao thought quickly and considered all the details. "You know that I'm a righteous and fearless warrior. It's not a big deal for me to fight the Ultimate Benevolence Masters for my country, for my family, and for the civilization of mankind. The problem is that there are still a lot of mysteries that haven't been solved yet.
"Look, from the beginning to the end, the Ultimate Benevolence Masters never showed their real faces. In the Black Castle, in the Heresy Inquisition, and in the Channeling Temple, it was only their phantoms and illusions that showed up. Even when we were on such a dangerous mission to capture the Puppet King, it was only their images that showed up on the Eternal Light.
"The illusions on the 3D light beam are nothing more than a group of photoelectric signals, and the appearance is nothing more than a cluster of mental power transmitted over via the remote Spiritual Nexus. But who knows what is behind the photoelectric signals and the mental power exactly? Nobody knows!
"As for the Puppet King, did he really give in so easily? Did he just blow up his soul so that he could severely wound the dharma images of the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters?
"If we didn't know his background, we might've considered him a lunatic and believed that it was his ultimate approach.
"But we all know that he is Lu Qingchen, the heir of extraterrestrial devils who once raised a storm in the Xing Yao Federation with the Virtualization Plan. His beliefs, his destiny, his shamelessness, and his cunningness allowed him to be killed in a self-detonation just like that? Stop kidding!
"Look, we haven't even figured out the real faces of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters and the Puppet King, and the beings of higher levels behind them. Isn't it too reckless to charge out recklessly and kill him when he's weak? Then, we won't be taking advantage of him but walking right into his trap.
"So, let me repeat myself. I'm a tough and fearless man who is willing to sacrifice himself, but I think that at this moment, based on the current situation, we'd better hide for a while longer."
"… Fair enough."
The mental devil agreed with Li Yao for once. "Alright, let's keep hiding. Thankfully, we've collected tremendous mental information and soul data of the Puppet King, Master Illusionary Ocean, and Master Sky Burning just now. Those things can help us perfect our souls and strengthen our camouflage so that we can hide more seamlessly.
"Hush. Don't release soul ripples. Those two guys are drifting over!"
The images of the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters were finally restored to themselves in the waves. They became transparent and smooth again.
However, they were much smaller in size, and their luster was much dimmer.
It seemed that the Puppet King's self-destruction had indeed caused quite a bit of damage to their spiritual worlds, causing them to be extremely weak.
Li Yao knew the perils of mental battles very well.
If the images were completely destroyed, even if they were a thousand lightyears away in person, it was possible that they would suffer a brain hemorrhage and become vegetative.
However, the most terrifying power of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters was not themselves but the resources under their control.
The two images sent signals to the outside of the dome. Immediately, a large batch of regular troops of the Alliance of the Holy Covenant arrived from the sky and surrounded the medical center.
They were all armed to the teeth with the Crystal Suit. The helmet of the Crystal Suit had been specially crafted and was larger than regular helmets. It seemed to be made of one piece without the slightest gap. Every angle was polished to the point that it was as smooth as a mirror and could reflect all the waves.
Li Yao estimated that such "Mirror Reflection Helmets" boasted a high anti-mental ability. They must've been carefully crafted by the Ultimate Benevolence Masters to capture the experts of mental battles such as the Puppet King.
Of course, for Li Yao, such helmets were also troublesome. He had to get one or two of them and study their structure carefully.
Seeing that the troops were deployed, the images of the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters floated to the cabin door that the citizens of the Light of Light swarmed out, presumably to pacify the people and restore order.
They passed above Li Yao, the spider tank.
Li Yao was very obedient, low-key, and docile. Hiding behind the debris of a twisted shuttle, he was not discovered by the two Ultimate Benevolence Masters.
At this moment, the Puppet King's interference and control over the entire Spiritual Nexus on the Eternal Light had been greatly weakened and was close to annihilation.
The communication between the Blessed Army and the cleaners was restored.
Li Yao immediately received a message from "Major" Chu Zhixiao. "Red Pig, where are you? Can you restore our internal communication network and find 'Titan' and 'Seven Star'?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao pretended that the communication network was still jammed, but he simply ran toward Chu Zhixiao without a sound.
On his way, he saw a lot of ignorant citizens of the Light of Light who collapsed on the ground like deflated balloons.
