"Quick! Receive the rescue target, then return!"
As orders were given one after another, several nearby transport aircraft quickly flew over.
The cabin door opened, and the Xia soldiers responsible for the rescue were amazed: "How did they survive..."
"Why don't you ask how they're floating in mid-air without falling, must be some expert's doing!"
"Stop talking so much, hurry up and rescue!"
"Yes!"
The rescue proceeded in an orderly fashion.
And it was a multi-pronged operation; the speed of over four hundred people boarding for evacuation was unimaginably fast.
At this moment, in the center of the rescued Xia people, there was a trembling woman.
On the surface, she only seemed to be in shock, indistinguishable from the others.
It could be said she had perfectly blended in.
However, beneath this woman's skin was a puppet body made of gears and steel.
This was a puppet of Sasaki Yuuhi.
Or rather, it already was him.
Thousands of puppets, his life's work, and his own body, which had become completely puppetized, were all incinerated under the terrifying nuclear explosion!
Fortunately, as a Puppet Master, he was also adept in the art of the soul.
As long as one of his puppets existed, his soul could transfer and reside within it temporarily.
Always cautious and timid, he had previously secretly transported a Xia prisoner, who was to be publicly executed the next day, to his room.
This woman was, of course, carefully "selected."
Fair-skinned and beautiful.
After brutally assaulting her, Sasaki killed her and finally refined her into a puppet.
It was his long-standing perverse hobby; he had thousands of such "collections" at his home on Mainland Japan.
However, Thunder Island was too far from Mainland Japan, and even the Soul-Imbuing Skill couldn't cover such a long distance for a transfer.
Thus, he had no choice but to temporarily hide within this "collection" puppet.
Damn...!
Damn...!
Sasaki kept cursing in his heart, never had he felt such humiliation, forced to resort to this means for survival!
This filled him with immense rage.
"It's okay now, don't be afraid, we're here to save you."
As he was pondering, those in the line ahead had already boarded.
Sasaki saw a pair of hands reaching out to him, belonging to a gentle female soldier.
The female soldier's smile was warm, her appearance delightful.
Stirring Sasaki's sinister thoughts once again.
Such a pretty beauty, it would be a pity not to add her to his collection.
Despite the wild thoughts, outwardly, Sasaki merely paused for a moment, then nodded and held the female soldier's hand, stepping towards the transport ship.
However, the next moment, a cold voice rang out.
Sending a shiver down Sasaki's spine.
An immense fear surged within him!
"You didn't really think I'd let you escape, did you?"
This voice, he knew it too well!
He had heard it in the underground of the Southern Border.
And not long ago, he heard it again.
Looking up, he saw an exceptionally handsome Xia youth, appearing out of nowhere.
The female soldier and other Xia military personnel were also startled!
They only saw a flash of light, thinking it was just a trick of the eye, but there he was.
The next moment, before anyone could react, the young man's right hand suddenly pressed on top of the woman's head.
Directly crushing her head into a distorted shape!
Then, with a boom, like a cannon firing, everyone on the transport ship was shocked!
[Gravity Cannon]!
A Tier Five gravity magic.
One of the rare Mage skills that requires close proximity to maximize damage.
[Gravity Cannon]
[Type: Passive Skill]
[Tier: Tier Five]
[System: Gravity]
[Cost: 5000 Mana]
[Cooldown: None]
[Effect: Concentrates gravity in the palm, then blasts it out, dealing massive physical damage to the target.]

[Maximum Critical Strike Damage Bonus: 9.9 times]
[Note: This skill requires close range to release; damage decreases by 10% if distance exceeds 1 meter.]
[Remark: Find a way to blast them with it!]
Lin Yi's shot landed directly on Sasaki's head.
The 9.9 times Critical Strike damage bonus and the extremely close range blew his head open!
"Ah! Murder!"
"What are you doing!"
Exclamations erupted in the cabin.
However, the next second, they were dumbfounded.
The woman whose head was blown off didn't spew blood and brain matter.
But gears and oil!
And numerous components!
This time, no one spoke, even the dullest among them realized this woman wasn't human!
Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke emerged from the shattered components and puppet body, rapidly fleeing into the distance.
Sasaki was at the end of his rope, he only wanted to escape from Lin Yi to save his life.
He couldn't understand how Lin Yi saw through his disguise.
He had no idea Lin Yi possessed the [Eye of Omniscience], a cheat-level ability.
Moreover, Lin Yi had been guarding against his escape all along.
Uproot the problem completely, leaving no chance, that was Lin Yi's creed.
"Lin You."
"Send him off."
Seeing the black smoke, Lin Yi's gaze was indifferent, speaking coldly.
The next moment, Lin You's figure suddenly appeared, at the same time, the tip of the Elegy of the Soul pierced fiercely into the hazy back of the black smoke!
The black smoke erupted into a mournful wail, pinned in the void, unable to move a fraction.
"Let me go!"
"Let me go!"
"I... I can do anything, tell you anything...!"
"Please, don't kill me!"
The black smoke formed the outline of Sasaki Yuuhi, begging for mercy, completely devoid of his prior arrogance.
Lin Yi: "?"
"Can't understand, anyone know what he's saying?"
Lin Yi looked at the Xia personnel on the nearby transport aircraft.
Everyone shook their heads.
Lin Yi clicked his tongue: "I thought we could extract some intel from him, just do a Soul Search, no need to ask."
Just as Lin Yi finished speaking, as Lin You was about to act, a girl appeared by her side again.
"Sister, let me do it."
"Such a strong soul, don't waste it!"
"I've been in the Ghost Abyss for so many years, never had the chance to get such a suitable soul. Just erase his will, modify it a bit, and my creations can become much stronger!"
Lin You frowned, looking at Lin Yi: "His willpower and soul strength far exceed those we've encountered before."
"Once we do a Soul Search, he'll choose self-destruction. Sorry, I'm not strong enough yet..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi waved his hand: "Then forget it."
"Give it to Qianqian, arrange it as you see fit."
Lin Yi wasn't discouraged either, after all, the enmity with Ghost Moon was already to the death, even if no intel was extracted, it didn't matter.
Lin You took Lin Qianqian back into the Undead Space.
Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief.
At least he'd avenged uncountable murdered compatriots of Mr. He!
"Big brother, thank you!"
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a small hand tugging at his sleeve.
Looking back, there was a little girl with a face covered in soot.
