Chapter 427 Vega's Dollhouse

Sure enough, these city management officers can teleport!
Whether in the game or the OVA animation, the true leader of Shadow Law has demonstrated the ability to travel across space more than once, and can even take people with him.

Cheng Tianhui's decision to personally oversee the laboratory was partly due to this consideration.

In the world of martial arts, the superpower system derived from high mental strength always includes skills such as teleportation and spatial transfer. This is true for Dhalsim in Street Fighter and Athena Asamiya in King of Fighters; they are not particularly novel techniques.

Cheng Tian hadn't expected that Vega's spatial teleportation distance would be so far, at least within his scanning limit of 2.5 kilometers... Or perhaps Vega might have some kind of mental shield that could block his dominant scan.

But regardless, the main character has appeared, which means the most difficult battle since entering the instance is about to begin.

"What pathetic dolls you are. I never imagined you could be so useless."

From his vantage point, Vega first surveyed his surroundings before fixing his gaze on the guards who were only partially awake and attempting to escape their cages.

Upon seeing Vega appear, the Royal Guards, who were currently conscious, did not show any joy or immediately ask Vega to release them. Instead, they struggled to kneel down in submission, and their bodies were visibly trembling.

The Shadow Guard, or Vega Guard, should be officially called the "Vega Guard Doll Force".

Yes, that's right. From its origins to its usage, Vega's entire Royal Guard and its puppet army were, literally, puppets that he could use at will.

Within the entire puppet army, the December Guard is the top-tier force, but below them are three categories of personnel: high-level puppets, mid-level puppets, and low-level puppets. These high, mid, and low-level puppet forces are composed of a large number of Vega defective clones and brainwashed female fighters.

Some might ask why Vega was so obsessed with using female clones as puppet troops... It was simply an act that happened on a whim.

Vega cloned Cammy and other clones in order to create perfect bodies for himself. Since the failed clones could not be destroyed at will, they were simply turned into a puppet army.

Once this unit was established, all sorts of unexpected benefits came one after another.

Women with a certain level of martial arts skills and a good figure have many advantages in carrying out missions and assassinations. When necessary, their bodies can also be used as bargaining chips to complete missions.

It's only thanks to the existence of these beautiful doll guards that the beauty-obsessed Baroque was able to barely survive being surrounded by the four ugly male kings...

Among the numerous clones, only Cammy is the most perfect individual, followed by December Decapri. However, strictly speaking, the gap between December Decapri and high-level dolls is not as large as one might imagine.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all the December members now have their own settings and names. In reality, they are just the twelve most outstanding individuals selected from a large number of doll units through a rigorous elimination process. Even if one of them dies, a new doll will always replace them.

A doll that fails its mission has no value in continuing to live.

The mental erosion that Vega used to control the human brain obviously cannot mask a living being's instinctive will to survive.

"Hmph~ The marks are still there. Can I assume that you're not even worth having your mental energy erosion marks erased by that person?"

After a quick scan, Vega confirmed that all the Decembers present still retained their marks, his face revealing undisguised contempt and murderous intent.

None of the guards dared to speak, only bowing their heads to express their loyalty, fearing that a single mispronounced syllable would trigger a mental bomb. For Vega, throughout December, only DeCaprio held any real value; the others were replaceable.

Faced with dolls that could be easily discarded and destroyed, Vega clearly had no patience to say anything more. Since they were all individuals who had failed their missions anyway, he might as well just replace them.

With this thought in mind, Vega's hands were already burning with a destructive mental energy that was purple and black, pulsating like flames.

But at that very moment, the four guards who had been trembling under Vega's nose suddenly stopped shaking. At the same time, Vega discovered that all four mental energy erosion marks in his brain had instantly disappeared!
April April, May May Satsuki, June Yuni, and July Yuri—these four people, the moment they raised their heads, the fear of Vega in their eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by an expression of clarity that was followed by a moment of bewilderment.

Vega was very familiar with this; it was clearly an outward manifestation of being manipulated by some kind of mental force.

At that moment, the metal cage opened on the spot, and the four people filed out as if they had practiced countless times. Using the cage and walls as propulsion tools, they all rushed towards Vega!

The "spiritual erosion" icon above their heads was uniformly replaced with "dominance and enslavement".

"A mere bunch of failed puppets—you actually think you can shake my spirit with them?!"

Vega's words were clearly directed at Mr. Cheng, who was not present at the time.

How will you know it won't work if you don't try?!

Whether it was due to manipulation or her own will, Satsuki, who was at the forefront of the charge, came from a hidden ninja village and was skilled in using dual swords. She slashed at Vega with both Murasame and Rasetsu.

"madness!"

Vega, still holding his arms crossed, simply shifted his body backward when attacked, easily dodging Satsuki's twin sword strikes. At the same time, a powerful and malevolent spiritual force enveloped his entire body, and he resumed his forward charge.

He placed his hands above his head, assuming a streamlined, swimming-like posture, and began to spin rapidly with terrifying power, like an intercontinental cruise missile.

Mental Power Critical Strike! (Lightning Poison Dragon Drill!)
Starting with a powerful move, this was clearly an attempt to kill all the useless puppets controlled by Cheng Tian in one strike!
But at that very moment, Vega suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort. When he came to his senses, a blue orb appeared out of thin air between his hands and the spot where Satsuki was about to touch.

The blue orb touched by Vega shattered instantly, exploding and sending an indescribable shockwave through his entire body.

What shocked Vega the most was that his mental energy, which had been active, suddenly turned into a stagnant pool!
A debuff called "Anti-Magic" was prominently displayed on Vega's character panel!

Vega, whose skill was forcibly interrupted, was not only blasted away but also forced to fall due to his inability to function mentally.

On the ground, a figure in orange and gold was waiting, fist clenched—

Ola!
