Chapter 613 Silver Mantis Puppets, the Limit of the Hidden Hand?
Chapter 613 Silver Mantis Puppets, the Limit of the Hidden Hand?
such a small injury, yet the energy required for healing was comparable to the regeneration of severed limbs!
this was only possible because of his incredibly strong vitality. if it were someone like boris or other ordinary gods, even a slightly larger wound would take at least ten days or even half a month to heal. they might even lose all their vitality due to the constant erosion by that mysterious energy, possibly leading to their death on the spot.
"this energy's essence is even more terrifying than divine power of higher ranks!"
upon realizing this truth, sterl could not calm his mind for a long time. in his mind's eye, he could vaguely sense a massive shadow slowly descending upon him. in the face of that overwhelming darkness and gloom that covered the sky, he felt like nothing more than a trivial firefly.
"no matter what you are, anyone who stands in my way will be obliterated!" read new chapters at empire
after a brief silence, sterl spoke in a calm tone.
however, these monsters, though powerful, were not invincible in every regard. at least when it came to souls, he could easily crush these invaders.
"i wonder if the silver mantis souls that have become my puppets can return to their bodies. if so..."
a thought struck sterl, and his expression shifted. without souls, these silver mantis were essentially in a state of death, which was why the mysterious gray energy had vanished. but if he could reinject souls into them, would it not cause that power to reactivate?
in that case, wouldn't he effectively control that gray energy?
once this thought crossed his mind, he couldn't hold it back any longer.
with a thought, all the souls trapped in purgatory space were released.
under sterl's mental command, the souls quickly entered the bodies of the silver mantis.
after waiting for a few seconds, a look of delight appeared on his face.
"it really works, they can be reinserted!"
his eyes widened as he watched in disbelief.
the once-still silver mantis, which had resembled statues, now had their dim compound eyes reignited.
all the silver mantis immediately sprang to life, moving with the precision of a well-trained army, aligning themselves neatly in front of sterl. there were a total of seventy-two, all of them in place, except for the one silver mantis he had dissected for testing!
as the silver mantis moved, boris and the others trembled in fear, almost reacting instinctively. they were terrified that these horrifying creatures might come back to life.
"don't worry, they have now become my subordinates."
sterl spoke淡ly, his voice calm.
upon hearing this, boris and the others finally relaxed. they looked at sterl with even more shock and reverence.
"master's methods are truly incredible."
"he can control these terrifying monsters, is there anything master cannot accomplish?"
"master's brilliance even makes the moon pale in comparison!"
"so powerful... i knew it, master's power is invincible!"
once they regained their composure, these divine followers couldn't help but praise him incessantly. the goddess of seduction, in particular, looked at sterl with even more seductive admiration, her gaze now filled with both deep affection and desire.
"is this the limit?"
sterl raised an eyebrow, watching the million or so silver spiders in front of him. he muttered softly.
was this all the mastermind behind the scenes had?
he thought to himself, but soon realized that this was only the fourth level of hell. the strongest being here was the swamp giant crocodile, a demigod-level creature at its peak.
but the power these invaders had unleashed far exceeded the limits of this level of hell. if it weren't for his presence, those dozens of silver mantis alone would have been enough to overwhelm boris and the others.
so, it wasn't that the mastermind behind the scenes was too weak, but rather that sterl was too much of a wild card.
seeing that sterl showed no signs of retreating, the silver spiders quickly began to merge together.
soon, over a hundred thousand silver spiders fused into the massive hundred-meter giant spiders that had previously annihilated the swamp giant crocodile in an instant!
this time, though, all one million silver spiders merged together, and a full ten hundred-meter giant spiders locked their glaring eyes on sterl.
"master, be careful!"
"protect the master!"
"hmph, a bunch of lowly insects daring to offend the master. they deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
seeing this, boris and the others reacted like angry, loyal dogs, their murderous intent surging.
in their minds, sterl was the supreme and noble being, beyond any insult or provocation. they would rather die than allow anyone to challenge their master's dignity!
"step back."
at that moment, sterl slowly spoke, halting boris and the others who were about to strike.
having previously tested the silver mantis puppet souls, he confirmed that, though these monsters were strange, their souls could still be controlled. he certainly wouldn't let such a valuable resource go to waste.
moreover, over a hundred thousand silver spiders merging together, though their form could only be maintained for a second, released a terrifying burst of power in that instant.
if boris and the others weren't careful, they might even risk falling.
so...
looking at the ten giant beasts, sterl's thoughts shifted, and his gaze deepened once more.
at that moment, boris and the others felt a shiver down their spines and involuntarily took several steps back. they understood—master was about to use that ability again!
even the giant silver spiders seemed to sense this, immediately screeching and charging at sterl.
but it was too late.
the activation of phantom purgatory took no more than an instant, and then sterl glanced over. the enormous souls formed from the fusion of the ten hundred-meter spiders were instantly pulled in.
though the soul of a hundred thousand silver spiders fused together was large, to sterl, they were nothing more than ten fragile, collapsing bubbles—utterly useless.
the damage of soulforge fire reached a staggering 100%!
