Chapter 928 - 404: Killing Machine

The movements of the Stand-In Puppet were like the scythe of death, each swing precisely reaping the lives of the enemies.

The consciousness labyrinth of Alpha was as fragile as a paper toy before it.

The moment the sharp Bone Blade pierced the labyrinth’s core, the spiritual circuits that had been meticulously woven over hundreds of years scattered and disintegrated like broken strings of pearls.

The Puppet had completely mastered the secrets of these labyrinth constructions.

The spiritual core of each labyrinth was located at its geometric center, connected by a dense network of neural fibers.

As long as the key connection points were precisely severed, the entire labyrinth would collapse with a thunderous crash.

"Damn it! This is impossible!"

Alpha’s voice echoed throughout the arena, with hundreds of brains simultaneously emitting terrified Spiritual Waves.

The silver neural fibers convulsed violently as if electrocuted:

"My labyrinth designs have never been leaked! How did that monster see through the construction secrets? Only I know the core algorithms of these spiritual circuits!"

She desperately mobilized the remaining labyrinths to change their formation, attempting to trap the Puppet with more complex multi-layered structures.

But the learning ability demonstrated by the Puppet had already transcended the realm of common sense.

With each consciousness labyrinth it devoured, its understanding of these constructs increased in geometric proportions.

By the fiftieth labyrinth, the Puppet didn’t even need to use the Bone Blade; merely brushing the surface was enough to cause the target’s spiritual structure to crumble on its own.

"This speed of learning..." Whispered voices trembled among the audience:

"It’s already beyond normal cognition... What on earth is that thing?"

"Alpha’s labyrinth constructions are techniques she’s perfected over several hundred years; how could a Puppet completely break them in just a few minutes?"

The Puppet’s gaping maw opened again, emitting a chilling chewing sound.

With every piece of spiritual essence devoured, the Rune patterns on its body became increasingly complex and intricate.

Those patterns were no longer just decorations; they had transformed into living knowledge carriers, bearing the skills and memories plundered from the enemies.

In a brief moment, all consciousness labyrinths turned into ruins.

The Puppet stood silently at the center of the battlefield, surrounded by the shattered fragments of countless labyrinths.

Those extremely precise spiritual constructs now remained only as meaningless scattered shells.

"My painstaking efforts... My hundreds of years of efforts!"

Alpha was so furious that she almost lost her sanity, her neural fiber body twisting and deforming from extreme anger.

Hundreds of brains simultaneously emitted piercing spiritual screams, attempting to directly attack the Puppet’s consciousness core.

But this level of spiritual shock was as gentle as a breeze on the face of the Puppet, which had already evolved multiple layers of Spiritual Resistance.

The Puppet didn’t even glance back at her, merely slowly turned towards its next prey.

"You... You dare ignore me?!"

Alpha’s anger instantly broke through the Critical Point.

She began to mobilize her origin power, completely disregarding the competition’s rule constraints, prepared to tear this hateful Puppet apart herself.

Just as she was about to act, a mountain-like pressure emanated from the other side.

It wasn’t a simple display of power; it was the pure embodiment of murderous intent.

It was as though an invisible Giant Sword hung over Alpha’s head, ready to fall at any moment.

This was Nari’s warning.

Although it was given without words, the naked threat was self-explanatory.

Anyone daring to break the rules and harm her "child" would face the full retaliation of an angry Mother.

Alpha’s anger was immediately dispersed by fear.

She could clearly sense the level of power Nari exhibited.

That kind of oppressive feeling reminded her of facing a Supreme Apostle.

"Forget it... Forget it! I’m not playing with you lunatics anymore!"

Alpha trembled as she retreated, her neural fiber body rapidly contracting.

She tore open a spatial rift, readying to escape this place.

Before leaving, she furiously shredded a few unlucky spectators around her into pieces.

The innocent Awakened didn’t even have time to scream before being completely shredded by the spiritual touch.

But not a single bystander dared to protest.

In the rules of the Abyss, the strong are absolute authority, and the lives of the weak are cheaper than straw.

.........

The ensuing slaughter became even more bloody and brutal.

The Corrosive Forest Legion was the first to launch a new round of attacks.

Hundreds of giant man-eating flowers opened petals packed with sharp teeth, spraying acid strong enough to dissolve refined steel.

The acid formed a green rain of death in the air, corroding even the atmosphere with a "sizzling" sound.

The Puppet did not dodge but rather deliberately moved into the densest area of acid.

When the corrosive liquid touched its skin, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The Puppet not only wasn’t corroded but began greedily absorbing the toxins.

The surface of its skin revealed countless small pores, frantically absorbing the surrounding corrosive substances like a sponge.

With the massive ingestion of toxins, the Puppet’s body started to undergo new adaptive changes.

Its skin became as hard as refined steel while maintaining the flexibility of biological tissue.

"Such rapid adaptive evolution... My god..."

The voices from the audience were a blend of awe and envy:

"To develop such targeted evolution so quickly... What kind of Awakened could possess such abilities..."

Karola’s Plant Legion soon tasted the bitter fruit.

The toxins they had once prided themselves on were completely ineffective in front of the Puppet.
