The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 858: end of show

"The Puppeteer of Academy City (

Outside the grand theater, there was an open space that had been reduced to ruins.

Xia Wa tried to attack Ling Xingye, but felt that her hands and feet were heavy, and she had to exert more force than usual in every move, as if she was stuck in a quagmire.

"...Get ready to end the curtain, villain!"

Hearing Ling Xingye's words, she wanted to refute them, but she had no time to speak quickly—no matter what she said, it would be better to defeat the other party as soon as possible to solve the problem.

This is not right! Eve thought to herself.

She is very aware of her own strength, and she is a humanoid war machine with full capabilities. It is no exaggeration to say that even if there is an entire army in front of him, he can run rampant and crush him all the way!

But facing Ling Xingye—a mere level 4, a silver puppeteer—I actually felt like I was restrained, restrained everywhere, unable to use my strength at all.

Eve felt aggrieved by the beating, and felt more and more like a marionette, whose every move was influenced by the puppeteer on the opposite side.

Eve's ability is "majority voting", and its greatest characteristic is the violence of numbers-the greater the number, the stronger the power.

As for how to use this power, it all depends on Eve herself.

Gathering the will of three million "voters", today's Eve is comparable to a god. She can truly distort the real world with her own will and realize the miracle of "words follow".

In theory, Eve could directly "curse and kill" Ling Xingye through verbal commands.

But the problem is that this move requires a strong spiritual will as support. Although she didn't want to admit it, Eve had to accept the reality - Ling Xingye's strength of will alone was not much worse than that of a group of three million "voters".

After a simple attempt, Eve knew that she could not "curse to kill" or attack Ling Xingye through other "speaking spirit" methods.

Likewise, techniques such as hypnosis and mind manipulation are ineffective.

Then there is the telekinetic attack from a distance. This is also the most direct manifestation of will interfering with reality—Eve is equivalent to a level 5 telekinetic ability user.

Both the telekinetic cannonball and the blade of telekinetic power possess terrifying lethality.

It's a pity that her attack was too straightforward, and Ling Xingye easily saw through the attack trajectory and dodged it calmly.

Even, under Ling Xingye's deliberate "guidance", those telekinetic shells either hit the air or blasted to the ground, without hurting the nearby theater at all.

In the end, there is only close combat that relies on one's own body. Eve, whose strength, speed, and body strength have been comprehensively strengthened, can be called a "superman" in this respect.

But even so, she couldn't beat Ling Xingye after all. On the contrary, he is subject to his silk pulling, like a clown performing a farce on the stage...

Eve tried every means to fight with all her strength, but the more she fought, the more frustrated she became.

— No matter how you look at it, I should be stronger, but why...

"Human beings have limits." As if seeing her thoughts, Ling Xingye said suddenly, "Your abilities are indeed powerful, but you don't know how to fight at all."

Eve gave Ling Xingye the feeling that she had met Accelerator for the first time—both of them had unreasonably powerful superpowers. And because of their powerful superpowers, they have never lost a single defeat, and they have never invested energy in "tactics", "skills" and other things.

After all, as long as you use your superpower casually, you can crush the enemy and win easily, so why waste time on those "little tricks" that only the weak will care about?

The will interferes with reality, and by virtue of the superpower "majority vote", Eve's physical fitness even surpasses that of a saint!

This determines that she has almost no opponents that need to be dealt with seriously.

Therefore, she lacks combat experience and skills.

In the past, bullying some weak people was not disadvantageous, but once she met a real strong person and couldn't beat ten times with one force, Eve was at a loss what to do.

For example, the current Lingxing Ye...

Ling Xingye carefully observed the enemy's every move, calmly dodged a string of telekinetic cannonballs, and wrapped the silk thread around her ankle, using her strength to knock him down.

—The ability is very powerful, but she is too straightforward.

Ling Xingye commented that, no matter long-range or short-range attacks, Eve's offensive is straight. In his opinion, it is too easy to dodge.

It can be seen that Eve has no "real" combat experience.

Sora has a powerful superpower, and he doesn't know how much he can use it.

As the distance between the two drew closer, Ling Xingye used his strength to use his own speed and inertia to throw Eve to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall.

boom!

The earth sank again, forming a large pit.

Eve counterattacked immediately, and the power of thought exploded, instantly blowing up half of Ling Xingye's body.

However, the **** on her body did not decrease, instead, more silk threads took the opportunity to wind up, binding her firmly in place.

"Again..." Eve gritted her teeth.

What she attacked and shattered just now was just a puppet.

Another Ling Xingye had already come out from the shadow beside him.

Eve stared at him fiercely, but immediately gave up the distinction helplessly—she couldn't tell whether the Ling Xingye that appeared now was really him.

Scenes like this have appeared five times in today's battle!

Xia Wa only felt tired for a while, if it wasn't for delaying time and restraining Ling Xingye, she would not have wanted to stay here.

"I don't know how the master's situation is." Eve thought silently.

"Hey, I've said it all, don't be distracted during the battle." Ling Xingye stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

The latter came back to his senses and punched him.

Then he took another blow over the shoulder.

Several times of over-the-shoulder throws in succession directly threw Eve into a loss of temper~lightnovelpub.net~ and even began to doubt life.

"It's not an opponent at all! What kind of monster is this guy?" Eve felt bitter in her heart.

It's pointless to continue fighting like this. Eve was already thinking about quitting.

The master—Kihara Evolution's order was to delay for an hour, and now it's about the same time.

So Eve prepares to retreat.

"Do you want to escape?" Ling Xingye saw through the enemy's thoughts at a glance.

Of course Ling Xingye would not let Eve go - letting a level 5 hostile ability user run around in the city is not fun. Not everyone can suppress each other as lightly as he does.

"After laying the groundwork for so long, close the Internet cafe."

As Ling Xingye said, he clenched his hands tightly.

Clank!

Countless silk threads popped up in all directions, and without giving Eve time to break free, the silk threads suddenly tightened.

—During the battle just now, Eve's body was already covered with threads.

These threads are thin and light, and during the battle, Eve never noticed.

At this time, Ling Xingye suddenly attacked. These were instantly activated by the silk thread mechanism set on her body in advance.

"Silk pulling - human manipulation."

In an instant, Eve realized that her body was out of her control.

Obviously, it only takes half a second to break these threads, but Ling Xingye didn't give her this chance.

From the very beginning of the attack, Ling Xingye controlled her entire body, depriving her of the ability to break free.

Therefore, Eve has a huge body of power, but it is sealed in the body by her own body, unable to use it.

"Good luck, one success." Ling Xingye showed a satisfied smile and bowed slightly to her, "The performance is over, thank you for watching, I hope you like it."

Eve glared.
