I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 189 Purifying Dongshan Li! The Reaction of Heavenly God City! Puppet Attack?
Dawn City, Sky Tower.

Beside the 50-meter-long bed.

Naya looked at Higashiyama Ri with disgust on her little face. Higashiyama Ri was kneeling on the ground and making strange noises.

"She's so sexy."

A hint of dissatisfaction showed on Naya's chubby face.

Isn't it just 'the light of purification'?

Of the hundreds of millions of citizens of Dawn City, which one hasn't been subjected to a purifying beam of light by the city lord?

Can……

No one has ever been like Higashiyama Riki.

It was one thing to make strange noises, but to make them last for so long.

the most important is……

Even though the black mist had stopped emanating from Higashiyama Rika's body, she kept calling out.

"That's so sexy!"

Naya stood there angrily with her hands on her hips, wishing she could run up and cover Higashiyama Riri's mouth.

"..."

Yu Jin remained silent and continued to raise his hand.

Om-!
Another beam of purification light.

This time, he used even more energy.

Yu Jin did this, of course, not to hear Dongshan Li's strange voice.

His real goal was to try to erase the "special mark" in Higashiyama Ri's body using the "purifying light".

In addition to the 'healing' and 'purifying' effects that Ember previously used, the Purifying Light's ability also has the effect of 'dispelling'.

"Ah~"

As the energy of the embers intensified, Higashiyama Riri's voice became even more lingering and resonant.

Beside the 50-meter-long bed.

The girls, including Naya, who were unaware of what was going on, started to blush as they listened.

Even Neil, with his mechanical attributes, had his blue eyes flickering incessantly at this moment.

"Could it be..."

Is this what my lord prefers?

Neil thought to himself.

Time passes slowly.

Higashiyama Riri groaned incessantly.

at last.

"Ah~!"

Higashiyama Riri's body suddenly convulsed and trembled.

She was covered in sweat and collapsed onto the ground.

She felt...

It felt like something was being forcibly removed from my body.

She felt...

I feel like I'm about to fly.

"..."

Yu Jin stared at the water stains on the ground, speechless for a moment.

The good news is—

The experiment was successful.

After he used almost 30% of his energy in the purifying light, the special mark was completely dispelled and vanished into thin air.

The bad news is -

After being hit like that, Higashiyama Ritsu seemed to have become a little strange.

now.

The way she looked at him was inexplicably... a little... smirk?
a long time.

Seeing that Dongshan Li had almost recovered and had regained her strength, Yu Jin slowly spoke:
"A mark has been planted in your body."

"After the mark is revived, you will become a puppet."

"I just wiped it off for you."

Yu Jin's soft voice faded away.

The people who were initially confused finally understood the reason.

"Is that so...?"

"pity……"

"I thought the master liked this..."

Natasha's face was full of disappointment.

She already had a series of plans in the works, all to cater to the preferences of the newly discovered owner.

"what?"

At this moment, Higashiyama Riri was most bewildered.

"Mark?"

"puppet?"

She knelt on the ground, staring blankly up at the embers.

But what met his gaze was the latter's serious look.

Higashiyama Riri understood that this big shot was not joking with her.

At the same time, she could also feel it herself...

After something inside the body disappeared, there was a feeling of lightness all over, as if one had escaped from shackles.

only……

The mere mention of puppet marks sent chills down her spine and made her scalp tingle.

To know.

Even though she was so insignificant in front of Yu Jin, she was still a genuine ninth-tier evolver!
"Who?"

"Who could have planted such a mark in my body without me even noticing?"

Higashiyama Riri gasped for breath, recalling all the things she had experienced in the past.

Her body suddenly froze.

"Yes……"

"Lord of the God City?"

The only possibility she could think of was that mysterious city lord.

although.

When that city lord descended upon Phoenix Leap City a year ago, he didn't touch her at all.

Can……

Aside from the city lord who was suspected to be above the ninth rank, Dongshan Li couldn't think of anyone else on planet Z99 who could have such abilities.

Higashiyama Riri looked up at the embers.

The latter nodded slowly.

"It should be him."

Yu Jin spoke softly, but his gaze shifted from Dongshan Li to the distance.

That is……

The direction of the other side of the planet.

According to Higashiyama Riki—

The Heavenly City is also located in that direction.

"I've already made my move."

"Next..."

"Let's see how you react."

Yu Jin murmured softly as he slowly rose from the fifty-meter-long bed.

"Everyone——"

His voice resounded throughout Dawn City and the Seven Mile City below.

"Complete the finishing touches on Qilicheng as soon as possible."

"Prepare……"

"Welcome our friends who have come from afar!"

……

……

Planet Z99.

Area 200.

The Heavenly City is situated within it.

Its area is extremely vast, occupying almost half of area 200.

It is worth mentioning that--

The characteristics of the Heavenly City seem to be extremely rare.

Looking from afar.

Above the City of Gods, nebulae were floating and sinking.

The inhabitants of the Celestial City felt more like they were in deep space than on a planet.

Center of the City of Gods.

Inside a massive palace that resembles a starship.

The young man leaned lazily against the throne.

The space around the young man was constantly rippled with mist, making it look illusory and mysterious.

"king!"

Under the throne.

The ninth-tier evolved being knelt on the ground.

"There's been a minor mishap in Qili City."

Do you have any clues?

On the throne.

The young man spoke slowly, his tone full of frivolity.

"This……"

Under the throne.

Even though he had reached the ninth level of evolution, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably after hearing these two simple words.

"No clue?"

The young man chuckled.

Swah——

A beam of light streaked across the void.

The ninth-tier evolved being's eyes widened instantly, and then, lifeless, collapsed to the ground.

Can be biased.

It didn't take long.

The 'corpse' slowly rose from the ground, facing the throne and kneeling.

"king!"

The address was familiar, but the voice lacked humanity and sounded stiff.

"Ah."

The young man gave a curt reply.

He had originally given this ninth-tier evolver the opportunity to continue 'being human'.

But since something went wrong in Qili City, which he was in charge of, he had no choice but to 'become inhuman'.

"Take some people to Qili City."

"Find out what happened."

"in addition……"

The young man's voice echoed within the main hall.

hum-

In the void.

Beside the kneeling ninth-tier evolver, one figure after another appeared.

"king!"

There were more than a dozen of these figures.

The terrifying thing is...

They were all emanating the aura of ninth-tier evolved beings!

"Only one month left until the promotion."

"It's time to finish."

After the young man finished speaking, he waved his hand dismissively.

A buzzing sound filled the air, causing spatial fluctuations that swept outwards.

All the ninth-rank figures inside the main hall vanished.

The main hall once again became quiet and empty.

"I'm so bored..."

The young man leaned back on the throne, shaking his head incessantly.

For him, this trip to Planet Z99 was nothing more than a game of make-believe.

The only thing that piqued his interest even slightly...

That is, Dongshan Li, who is "naturally charming" in Fengyue City.

Ordinary ninth-tier evolvers cannot resist Dongshan Li's innate charm, but the young man certainly can.

just.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

Even a young person is not a saint who has eliminated all emotions and desires.

"On this invincible wasteland journey, we still need to find some fun to make it less boring."

of course.

If he wanted to, with his strength, he could easily overpower Higashiyama Ritsu.

only……

"Too tacky, too tacky!"

"If I have to use force to win over even a woman, then I am unworthy of the divine blood flowing in my veins."

The young man was Han Ling, the city lord of Heavenly God City.

He has only been on this planet for a short five years.

In those five years, however, he built a level 9 refuge city, the City of Gods.

At the same time, he also 'cultivated' a group of ninth-rank subordinates.

Although Dongshan Li and other level 8 refuge city lords had already greatly overestimated Tian Shen City, ...

The true strength of the Heavenly City still exceeds the limits of their imagination.

Time passes slowly.

In the main hall.

Han Ling leaned back on the throne, staring blankly into the void.

Just like the past few hundred days and nights.

Suddenly.

Han Ling let out a soft "hmm".

One of the many puppet imprints he left on this planet has disappeared.

"Ok?"

For the first time, Han Ling's expression changed.

He sat up slightly, and mysterious elemental energy within his body surged quietly.

"Dongshan Li?"

"My concubine?"

Han Ling's brows furrowed slightly at this moment.

Although Higashiyama Ritsu has not yet submitted, he already regards her as his own.

"Are there any other people who would dare to covet the concubines I've set my sights on?"

"and……"

"You seem to have quite the ability to erase the marks I left behind?"

Han Ling muttered to herself.

Although he was confident that Higashiyama Riri would submit to him willingly in the future, he still left a puppet mark in her body as a precaution or as punishment.

That mark is something that ordinary ninth-tier evolvers simply cannot erase.

Even tenth or eleventh-tier evolvers are powerless without specific attribute abilities.

"Above the twelfth rank?"

At this moment, Han Ling's eyes revealed an emotion called 'interest'.

"interesting."

At this moment, Han Ling was not angry at all; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

That smile had an indescribable meaning to it.

Although Higashiyama Ritsu was quite tempting, it was merely a seasoning he used to cope with boredom.

now?

However, an even more interesting condiment than Higashiyama Riki appeared.

"let me see……"

"Who are you?"

Han Ling's mind raced.

Swah——

A light screen projection appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The projected image, which was originally incredibly blurry, gradually became clearer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

in the screen.

It is a well-ordered city street.

It was the figures of subjects coming and going.

"what?"

Han Ling let out a soft "hmm".

"There are quite a few more sixth and seventh-order ants now."

"Seven Mile City doesn't have that many sixth and seventh-tier evolvers."

The image continued to change during the light screen projection.

The perspective gradually rises.

until...

Above their heads, the Sky City, even larger and more majestic than the Heavenly City, came into view.

"Yo?"

"A level 10 city?"

"It seems to still have the characteristics of flying?"

Han Ling's interest grew even stronger.

Can……

Just the next second.

As the camera pans up again, the view slowly rises from the ground to the sky, constantly approaching that sky city.

Bang-!
Inside the main hall, the light projection suddenly collapsed and vanished.

On the throne, Han Ling raised an eyebrow, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Interesting, interesting!"

He kept repeating it over and over.

Then, after countless days and nights, he slowly rose from his throne once more.

Kaka-

A crisp sound of bones colliding emanated from his body.

"It's been too long since we've had any activities."

Han Ling shook his head, and then took a step forward.

Swah——

His figure appeared in the sky above the City of Gods.

"king!"

this moment.

The tens of millions of citizens of the Heavenly City all knelt down and shouted in unison.

Han Ling didn't glance at him for a moment, but instead looked up and gazed into the distance.

That is……

Seven Mile City, no, more precisely, the direction of Sky City.

"It's time to move around."

Han Ling finished speaking.

boom--

Boom——!
Loud noises emanated from the ground beneath the city of the gods.

In no time at all.

The Heavenly City, like a warship, slowly rose into the air.

Whoosh-!
On planet Z99, a second sky city appeared, following Dawn City.

And it was hurtling towards area 80, where Dawn City was located.

……

……

Qilicheng.

Above the sky.

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes, staring at a figure in mid-air.

That is……

An eighth-tier evolver from Qili City.

At this moment, his eyes were vacant, and he was completely devoid of any life.

But the strange thing is.

Even though he was 'dead,' the elemental energy within his body continued to surge.

a moment ago.

Yu Jin felt a sense of being spied on. After using his light touch ability to scan the area, he discovered this unusual seventh-tier evolver.

"Lord City Lord!"

"President!"

"..."

at this time.

Naya and the others also rushed over from the Sky Tower and stood behind Ember.

Even Higashiyama Rie, who was tied up, was casually picked up by Nyarlathotep.

"What's happening here?"

Naya and the others were curious when they saw this seventh-tier evolved being.

"puppet."

Yu Jin spoke softly.

At this moment, the information seen by his Eye of Insight appeared before his eyes—

【Yuto Yamada】

Rank: Seven

【…】

[Evaluation: The 'Puppet Mark' has been activated, turning the user into a puppet, controlled by someone behind the scenes who also provides them with a viewpoint... The soul has been annihilated; the user is essentially a corpse...]

"puppet?"

"This is a puppet?"

Yu Jin casually offered a few words of explanation, which left Naya and the others speechless.

some of.

Higashiyama Riki's reaction was particularly intense.

To know.

She originally had a puppet mark inside her body too!
If Lord Ember hadn't used magic to remove her, her fate now or in the future...

Isn't that the same kind of living dead that can be manipulated by others?

Bang-!
Yu Jin casually waved his hand.

This 'Yamada Yuto' turned into a blood mist.

Swah——

With a thought, he activated his light-touch ability, sweeping across the entire Seven Mile City below.

One after another, figures rose into the air uncontrollably.

The vast majority of them are seventh-tier evolvers, and a few are eighth-tier evolvers.

Their total number reached an astonishing fifty!
"These are all puppets."

Yu Jin spoke softly, but his gaze did not linger on them; instead, he looked towards the distant horizon.

whoosh-

Whizzing--!
The end of the sky.

The sound of wind breaking was like a thunderclap.

A group of powerful figures arrived together.
