Chapter 2833 - Soul Explosion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For a moment, Li Yao seemed to see a level-15 tornado sweeping, sweeping, and destroying everything from the medical center with a black tide hundreds of meters high.
It was enough to destroy Eternal Brightness and even distort the entire Sector.
'What constituted the black tide were thousands of angry, painful, twisted, and desperate faces, which were the deepest negative emotions of the human beings that had been absorbed by the puppet king.
Although the mental devil fed on negative emotions and helped Li Yao resist, absorb, and digest them crazily, Li Yao still felt that his soul was unsteady and about to break apart.
It was like humans eating rice and noodles, but if they ate 300-500 buns in a meal, their internal organs would explode!
The powerful 'terror bomb' was indeed appalling.
Thankfully, most of the citizens of the Light Sector had rushed out of the downtown area and entered the pathways and the outer cabins. Otherwise, Li Yao estimated that the self-detonation of the puppet king's soul would have been enough to drive hundreds of thousands of people mad, turning them
into bloodthirsty asuras, hungry demons, and furious devils!
Li Yao was merely a spectator, and yet he was already under such tremendous mental pressure. The Master Phantom Sea and the Sky Burning Master, who were the first to be affected, were also affected by the intense negative emotions.
The last scene that Li Yao 'saw' was the shocking holes that the enormous waves of the explosion left on their Dharma Laksana. The black tentacles followed and pierced into the Dharma Laksana of the two supreme masters through the wounds, trying to dissolve their belief and mental power.
Then, Li Yao saw nothing.
His vision was completely covered by the overwhelming black tide.
Or rather, the chaotic streams of information and data were surging around his soul. Explosions were taking place. Everything was in chaos, making it impossible for him to observe, scan, or analyze.
Of course, if he really wanted to see every detail of the puppet king's soul explosion, Li Yao estimated that he could do it as long as he concentrated his soul to the limit.
But if so, he would inevitably leave traces in the Spiritual Nexus and the spiritual ocean.
'When he was observing other people, they could also observe him.
When he increased the intensity of his observation, it was inevitable that others would notice his gaze.
Therefore, for his own safety, he decided to curl up for a while longer.
Li Yao held his head and endured the information blast of the puppet king's self-detonation silently. He felt that 108,000,000,000 ghosts were passing by his head. It was not until five minutes later that the tide of negative emotions gradually dispersed.
'The power of the puppet king had run out.
The skyscrapers nearby looked exactly the same as three to five minutes ago, but they were now filled with resentment and killing intent. They were even quieter than tombs, like haunted houses or tombstones covered in spider webs.
The broken negative emotions were still bouncing and vanishing in midair like raging black flames.
The Dharma Idols of the two masters were both incomplete, as if half of a mountain had been blown up. Their ugly cores were still being corroded by the black smoke. Bubbles were popping up nonstop, and they failed to regain their previous solemn and magnificent appearance.
"The puppet king… is doomed just like that?"
Li Yao scanned it multiple times and failed to find any information about the life of the puppet king, But there was a big question mark in his mind. "It can't be. Did the puppet king mean what he said? Did he really want to defend the dignity of mankind and have a 'battle' with two supreme masters? Did he
find that he was no match for them? Did he burn his life and self-detonate his soul instead of surrendering?"
"No. It can't be. Was I wrong about him? Is he not as sleazy as I thought?"
"Very likely."
The mental devil replied, "Not everyone can be like… I mean, not everyone can be so wretched as to run away while talking about righteousness.
"All in all, the puppet king launched a suicidal self-detonation attack just now and blew up half of the Dharma Idols of the two supreme masters. I estimate that, even though the real bodies of the two supreme masters were still thousands of kilometers away, their minds and brains were seriously
damaged, too.
"What do you think? Should we take advantage of the situation and get rid of the two supreme masters? Let's take their lives while they are down. This might be our best chance!"
Li Yao had snuck into the Holy Alliance in the beginning because he wanted to lock onto Master Zhi Shan's coordinates and summon the elite assault squads of the imperium to execute the 'beheading strategy'.
Even if only one or two of the five masters were killed, it would still be a great advantage for the strategical war to come.
However, now that a great opportunity had presented itself, Li Yao hesitated.
His intuition was aching and stirring his soul like a burning iron rod.
"II don't know. I feel that things are not so simple."
Li Yao thought quickly and sifted through all the details. "You know that I'm a very righteous warrior who is not scared of death. For the country, for my family, and for the civilization of mankind, it doesn't matter if I go forward and fight against the supreme master. The real problem is that there are still
many unsolved mysteries here.
"As you can see, the Great Master has never revealed his true face from the beginning to the end. On Black Castle, the Heresy Interrogation Bureau, and the Holy Light Ritual in the Psychic Temple, it was only their shadows and illusions that showed up. Even though it was a dangerous mission such as.
capturing the puppet king, it was only their appearances that arrived on Eternal Brightness.
"The phantom in the 3D light beam is just a set of photoelectric signals, and the manifestation is nothing more than a cluster of mental power transmitted through the long-distance Spiritual Nexus. But who knows what is behind the photoelectric signals and the mental power? Nobody knows!
"As for the puppet king, is he really going to surrender so easily? He blew up his own soul in order to seriously wound the two supreme masters?
"If we don't now his background, we might consider him to be a simple lunatic. I believe that this is his ultimate trick.
"But we all know that he is Lu Qingchen, the heir of the Spiritual Nexus who once raised a great storm in the Star Glory Federation with the Phantom Plan in his arms, his path of Cultivation, his destiny, and his sordidness and cunningness. Will he be allowed to die in the self-detonation? Are you kidding
me?
"You see, we haven't even figured out the real face of our master and the puppet king and the higher-level existences that are hiding behind them. Isn't it too impulsive to rush out and take their lives while they are ill? If so, we won't be reaping the benefits but walking right into their trap.
"Therefore, let me repeat myself. I am a fearless warrior who is willing to sacrifice myself. But I think that, at this moment and according to the current situation, it would be better if we lay low for a while longer.
Fair enough."
It was rare for the mental devil to agree with Li Yao completely. "Alright. Let's keep crouching, then. Thankfully, we've collected a lot of mental information and soul data about the puppet king, Master Phantom Sea, and Master Sky Burning. They can help us perfect our souls and strengthen our disguises
so that we can curl up more seamlessly.
"Shh. Don't send out soul waves. Those two guys are coming!"
The Dharma Idols of the two supreme masters were finally repaired by the waves. They were transparent and smooth again.
However, it was much smaller in size and much lackluster.
It appeared that the self-detonation of the puppet king had indeed caused a lot of damage to their mental world and made them extremely weak.
Li Yao was well aware of the dangers of mental combat.
If his form was completely destroyed, even if his true self was a thousand lightyears away, it was very likely that his brain would bleed, and his brain would explode, turning him into a vegetable.
However, the most dreadful strength of the Great Master was not themselves but the resources under their control.
'The two Dharma Idols sent a signal to the outside of the dome. Immediately, the regular army of the Holy Accord Alliance, the God Bless Army, descended from the sky and surrounded the medical center.
They were all armed to the teeth with crystal suits. The helmets of the crystal suits, on the other hand, had been specially refined and were much larger than those of ordinary helmets. They seemed to be a whole without the slightest gap. Every angle was as smooth as a mirror, which was enough to
reflect all the ripples.
Li Yao estimated that such a 'mirror-reflecting helmet' boasted a high anti-mental interference function. It must've been carefully refined by Master Zhi Shan in order to capture experts in mental warfare such as the puppet king.
Of course, for Li Yao, such helmets were a nuisance, too. He had to get one or two of them and study their structure carefully.
Seeing that the troops had been deployed, the two masters of wisdom floated to the cabin door where the citizens of the Light Sector had crowded out. They were probably going to pacify the citizens and restore order.
They passed above Li Yao, the spider tank.
Li Yao was very obedient, very low-key, very docile, and very curled up. He hid behind the remains of a twisted and deformed flying shuttle and was not discovered by the two.
At this moment, the puppet king's interference and control over the entire Spiritual Nexus system of Eternal Brightness had been greatly diminished. It was almost annihilated.
The communication between the soldiers 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 locate 'Titan' and 'Seven Stars'?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment. Pretending that his communication network was still jammed, he dashed toward Chu Zhixiao silently.
On their way, they saw many muddle-headed citizens of Light lying on the ground like deflated balloons.
They did not have a clear understanding of their destiny and self. They did not really have the will to resist or to be liberated. Their fury was only ignited by the brain virus, which was like the courage that they summoned when they took stimulants. They were defeated as quickly as they came and
completely collapsed.
