"I have the same feeling, too. This is not a normal strategy. The Holy League seems to be saying that we will be screwed after the battle!"
The mental devil added, "Although there is no telling how many resources there are in the Sectors under the Covenant Alliance's control, based on their initial number of Sectors and the resource enrichment of the Star Glory Federation, which is also at the edge of the cosmos, it must've drained all the resources in order to maintain such an enormous fleet of Fuxi fleets and gather, ambush, and assault in the dark space zone that is equivalent to a desert. The order in the rear is on the verge of collapse, if not already!
"The Holy League, on the other hand, does not care about anything at all. They have sent out the most powerful forces in the first wave without considering the protracted war at all.
"It must be noted that the Imperium of True Human Beings controls hundreds of vast and prosperous Sectors at the center of the cosmos after all. There is no reason that it will be completely crushed in a strategic battle. Even if the main force of the Imperium fails, it will take decades for them to occupy all the habitable planets and maintain the order, won't it?
"Dedicate all the resources and exhaust all the troops in a moment. Even if the Holy League wins the war, how are they going to clean up the mess?"
"This is destined to be a war without a winner."
Li Yao mumbled, "Even if the Holy League wins, it will only bring destruction to both parties and the entire universe. Damn it. What are those guys trying to do exactly? Are they trying to destroy mankind?"
"Maybe, yes."
After a brief silence, the mental devil said softly, "Destroy mankind, wake up the gods, and make enough living space for the resurrected Pangu."
Li Yao was silent, too. His soul was entangled by enormous tremors, which were burning in intense fury.
"I won't let them win."
Li Yao's soul waves were condensed into sharp teeth and rubbed hard. "The five old guys have gone mad. I have to stop those lunatics!"
Li Yao's' tentacles' that had been extended to millions of kilometers away through the space network retreated into Ultimate Salvation like real tentacles.
Of course, it was impossible for him to deal with the five Supreme Fortresses at the same time.
However, as the information center that connected the five Supreme Fortresses and the entire Fuxi fleet, Ultimate Salvation, which was equal to the 'mainframe', could certainly do something.
Li Yao's soul split into thousands of parts and flowed to every pathway and every cabin on Ultimate Salvation through the cables and spiritual energy tubes again.
It was like a fatal virus that invaded his body through his veins and nerves.
The targets that he focused on searching and scanning were the places with the most information traffic and the densest data.
In his perception, these targets were like the convergence points of sparkling rivers or erupting volcanoes. They couldn't be easier to find.
"Huh. What's this?"
Li Yao's Soul's soul's.
Li Yao hacked into the surveillance cameras on the ceiling of the warehouse. Looking down, he could see a magnificent and splendid shadow. It was a giant more than thirty meters tall who was sitting on an enormous maintenance rack.
"It's a Colossus. What a … magnificent Colossus!"
Li Yao's soul beamed with excitement. He had never studied the Colossi of the Holy League carefully before!
The Colossus was in translucent gold, but it was not as superficial and ostentatious as the 'Gold Vulture' that Li Yao had once used. Instead, it was' black gold 'that was slightly frosted and translucent, giving both a glamorous and mysterious feeling.
Its shape was slender and elegant. The shoulder pads were broad, and the waist that connected the upper and lower body was slim, giving the feeling that it was too small to be grasped easily. What was odd was that such a structure did not seem fragile at all. Instead, it added to its agility and lightness. Even though it was merely sitting there, it seemed to be soaring into the sky and roaming in the sea of stars like a golden lightning.
It seemed that two golden whiskers more than ten meters long were rising from the head of the golden mantis. They should be some sort of antenna that could significantly enhance the user's mental attacks.
At this moment, countless magical equipment specialists and maintenance puppets were attaching themselves to it and working anxiously. They lifted the plate armor and the maintenance cover, allowing Li Yao to see the delicate internal structure of the crystal at a glance.
While he was dazzled and amazed, he was also greatly confused.
The super Colossus, which was obviously on the same level as Blackstar the Great's "Blackhole's Heart" and his "Arsonist", did not have a spiritual residence.
The "spiritual residence" was the cockpit, where the user could crawl into to control the Colossus.
Generally speaking, according to the size and level of the Colossus, the spiritual residence might be in all kinds of weird shapes, and it was not always on the chest.
For some of the Colossi that were less than ten meters tall, the spiritual residence was no more than two meters in diameter. It was not surprising that the user had to crouch into it like a baby.
However, when Li Yao scanned the dark gold Colossus carefully, he did not find any space that was more than half a meter in diameter. Even if the user was a dwarf, there was no place for him to crawl into.
"Why is there no spiritual residence?"
Li Yao was greatly confused. "Then, how should the user operate the Colossus? Should he stand on the shoulder of the Colossus and control it remotely? However, the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing. The interferences between the enemy and ourselves are very intense. Remote control is highly unreliable and can be disconnected at any moment!
"What a weird design. I wonder who the user of the dark gold Colossus is exactly. Is it one of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters?
"No, the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters should've stayed in their Supreme Fortress in person and wouldn't have left easily. Even if they had their own Colossi, they would've kept them in their fortress for examination and maintenance. There's no reason for them to put them on such a super communication and command starship like Ultimate Salvation.
"Therefore, the owner of the dark gold Colossus must've been on Ultimate Salvation!
"Although I haven't seen the magnificent picture of the dark gold Colossus in person, I can tell that the Colossus is unimaginably high in level from its precise structure and the vague air of danger that it is releasing. Then, who is the user of the Colossus?
"Is my guess correct, and there is really a 'sixth Ultimate Benevolence Master'?"
Li Yao thought of something and had a big question mark. Retracting his soul, he moved his eyes away from the dark gold Colossus and searched for the traces of the four members of the yaksha squad.
When he performed the four-dimensional jump, he had left vague traces on the souls of the four of them, which were like mysterious beacons that allowed him to locate them immediately.
Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, Yuan Kou, and Guan Qixing were brought to different "treatment rooms" according to their origins and features.
Thankfully, they were theoretically still loyal believers of the gods, and they had contributed to the capture of the Puppet King. Therefore, they were not treated too harshly for now. They were simply lying on chairs that were embedded with crystal processors, magical equipment units, and artificial limbs. Their foreheads, temples, and the back of their heads were full of nerve-sensing chips while they were questioned by a few guys in white uniforms who seemed to be Meditation Healers.
It seemed that they had been hypnotized into a trance.
However, they were all strong-willed and determined people. Li Yao estimated that it would take a few more days for them to be completely "purged".
A day and a half later, it would be the time for the final battle according to the Ultimate Benevolence Masters. So, the "purging" of them would probably be delayed and relaxed.
Li Yao still had enough time to help Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them awaken their "selves"!
Not just Chu Zhixiao, not just Yuan Kou …
With the four members of the yaksha squad as the center, Li Yao's "thoughts" spread out. Very soon, he discovered a lot of facilities that were similar to the "brainwashing cabins" in the Channeling Temple.
Although the scale of the cocoons was much smaller than that of the Channeling Temple, the auras of the people curled up inside were clearly dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than that of the ordinary "bee soldiers" and "bee workers". They were true experts.
It was exactly as Li Yao expected.
Chu Zhixiao and the other members of the yaksha squad were not the only batch of "suspected infected people" that needed to be purged.
It was possible that everybody who had been in touch with the Puppet King would be sent to this place. The purging was part of it. More importantly, the methods of the Puppet King could be inferred by analyzing the virus that the Puppet King implanted into their brains and figure out the origin and nature of the Puppet King.
Li Yao collected enough information. His thoughts passed by the hundreds of cold "brainwashing cabins" and were cast to the deepest part of Ultimate Salvation.
Now, it was time to go to the Puppet King and the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters.
In the world of information and data, they were as eye-catching as torches that were burning furiously in the dark night. Almost infinite glittering torrents were flowing in from the vast sea of stars from all directions all the way to the front of Ultimate Salvation, where the bridge should be.
Li Yao's thoughts were mixed in the overwhelming torrents of data. He was like a tiny grain of sand in a flash flood, unremarkable and insignificant.
Then, he "saw" nothing.
Looking at the array of super crystal processors that seemed to have been refined by condensing all the stars in the universe, Li Yao was shocked.
It was a super crystal processor that he had never seen before. He had never seen such a shocking picture either deep inside the Nuwa warship or below the Gold Crystal Pyramid.
The bridge of Ultimate Salvation was like a splendid temple. Thousands of dense, faintly flowing runes had been carved on the cabin walls. They extended all the way to the deck, where they intersected and outlined an enormous rune array that was all-encompassing and depicted the entire universe.
