Slayer quickly realized what Qi Yuan was trying to do, and a flash of anger appeared in its eyes.
I'm a rank 7 mechanical apostle from the Mech Palace! How dare a mere mid-tier human try to control me!
I'm not a piece of trash like the Fang of Despair!
Slayer's heart skipped a beat as it felt Qi Yuan's domineering invasion. Qi Yuan really did have the ability to invade the digital logic of machines. However, Slayer still snorted coldly. It didn't believe Qi Yuan could control it. At the same time, it used its powerful data defense to resist Qi Yuan's invasion.
Qi Yuan did not hold back against Slayer's doppelganger. He activated both his mechanical control and the Marionette at the same time and launched an all-out attack.
Although he could easily destroy the Tier 6 mechanical body's data defense and complete the puppet's control, Slayer was still a Tier 7 mechanical apostle. Although the mechanical body in front of him was just a clone, it was definitely not something an ordinary Tier 6 mechanical body could compare to.
After the infiltration began, the two of them began a head-on struggle. Just as Qi Yuan had predicted, the infiltration this time was met with strong resistance from Slayer. Qi Yuan spent a full minute but was still unable to complete the infiltration of the control center.
Qi Yuan's face sank. No wonder Slayer was a rank 6 mechanic. If it was a rank 6 mechanic, he would've fallen long ago.
Qi Yuan was surprised by Slayer's strong resistance, but he didn't know that Slayer's heart was in turmoil. Although he used his powerful data defense to resist Qi Yuan's invasion, he could still feel that the battle was slowly tipping in Qi Yuan's favor. In a few minutes, he would lose all his control and fall into Qi Yuan's control.
When that happened, he might really become a puppet controlled by Qi Yuan.
Slayer thought about how Qi Yuan used the Fang of Despair to destroy the entire No.9 battle fort. He became more and more terrified.
Once he became a puppet controlled by Qi Yuan, his other doppelgangers would not be able to escape from Qi Yuan's control.
After realizing the danger, Slayer's doppelganger made up his mind and tried to self-destruct to stop Qi Yuan's invasion. However, he was shocked to find that the energy control center had lost its response.
How is this possible?
Wasn't Qi Yuan attacking my control center with all his strength? When did he cut off my energy supply!
Qi Yuan seemed to have guessed the thoughts in Slayer's mind as he calmly replied.
He said calmly, "You shouldn't have absorbed Seraph's energy!
All of Seraph's energy came from me. It's energy is already branded with my mark! "
Slayer's doppelganger was stunned. He didn't expect all of Seraph's energy to come from Qi Yuan. This was like planting a time bomb!
If Qi Yuan hadn't invaded the mechanical control center, he might have realized that the energy control center had been invaded.
However, when he was defending the control center and resisting the invasion, he would naturally lose control of other areas. Qi Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to take control of the energy that originally belonged to him.
The loss of the energy control center made Slayer realize that he had lost the upper hand. The importance of the energy control center to a mechanic was self-evident. Losing the energy control center was the same as losing the control center. It meant complete failure.
If Qi Yuan's attack on the control center was stealing the enemy's home, then taking the energy control center was destroying the enemy's spring. Slayer had no way to deal with this wave of attacks …
The light in Slayer's eyes dimmed first, then slowly brightened. This meant that Slayer's doppelganger had completely fallen into Qi Yuan's hands.
"That's it?" Nine looked at Slayer's doppelganger in disbelief.
After fighting with Slayer for so many years, she knew how powerful he was. Even if it was just a doppelganger, it was still not easy to deal with.
Furthermore, controlling a Slayer doppelganger was far more difficult than destroying one.
However, when she thought about how Qi Yuan had once destroyed the underlying logic that the Supreme Master had implanted in her, Ajiu felt that this result was completely natural.
No matter how strong Slayer's doppelganger was, could it be stronger than the Supreme Controller?
Even the underlying logic that the Supreme Overlord had personally implanted could not stop Qi Yuan. How could a mere Slayer doppelganger block Qi Yuan?!
Qi Yuan controlled the mechanical marionettes and patrolling sentinels to loosen their control over Slayer's doppelganger.
"We don't know if we can fool the other Slayers' clones," Qi Yuan said.
"Of course!" Ajiu nodded.
"Slayer would never have thought that his clone would betray him!"
Nine turned to look at the remains of the other Slayer on the ground.
"The Slayer had a total of ten doppelgangers. Now that we've killed one and you've taken control of the other, there are at most eight left!"
The victory of this battle gave Ajiu great confidence. Slayer did not seem as difficult to deal with as she had imagined.
"If all eight doppelgangers are gathered together, it won't be so easy to deal with them," Qi Yuan said.
Looking at the Slayer doppelganger in front of him, Qi Yuan suddenly had a strange thought in his mind.
"Say, if I can control a few more doppelgangers, will I be able to reassemble them into a Level Seven apostle under my control?"
Although Slayer's doppelganger was powerful, it was only Level Six. If he could control a Level Seven mechanical apostle, then he would be truly powerful!
After witnessing the strength of Slayer and Duanmu Longxiang, Qi Yuan was very clear about the difference between Level Seven and Level Six. It was a gap that was difficult to cross. Unless he stepped into the higher levels, he would definitely not be a match for a higher level powerhouse.
Controlling a Level Seven high level apostle would increase his strength even more than completing the check-in at the mechanical ruins!
If it were any other time, it would be impossible for him to control a Level Seven mechanical apostle. However, now that Slayer had split into multiple Level Six mechanical bodies, this impossible had become possible.
"I … should be able to!"
Ajiu was also stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at Qi Yuan with bright eyes.
"Why don't … we give it a try?"
Controlling a Level Seven high level mechanical apostle, this was simply too exciting!
Qi Yuan controlled the patrolling sentries to clean up the battlefield and the remains of Slayer. Then, together with Ajiu, they began to search for traces of Slayer's other doppelgangers.
In order to lower the vigilance of the other Slayer doppelgangers, Qi Yuan let Ajiu lead a group of mechanical puppets, while another mechanical puppet led two patrolling sentries in a group. Qi Yuan himself secretly followed Slayer's doppelgangers in a group.
The three groups were separated by some distance, but they could still communicate with each other. They walked in the mechanical ruins, looking for traces of the other Slayer doppelgangers.
Qi Yuan controlled Slayer's doppelgangers to first make a trip to the location of the previous battle. He found that the few Slayer doppelgangers that were originally hiding here had quietly left.
Had they left?
Qi Yuan looked around carefully. Suddenly, he found that the guidance mark outside was slightly different from the previous one.
Compared to the previous one, this one was much more obscure. If it were not for the fact that the data center was strong enough, Qi Yuan would have almost missed the existence of this guidance mark.
The previous guidance mark had led the other Slayer doppelgangers to this warehouse. However, this one was pointing somewhere else.
Qi Yuan followed the guidance mark and walked for a distance. He quickly realized that this was also the work of Slayer's doppelgangers.
Although the four Slayer doppelgangers had left, they were worried that there would be more doppelgangers following the guidance mark. Therefore, they left behind a second guidance mark.
If he guessed correctly, following the direction of the second guidance mark, he should be able to find the other Slayer doppelgangers very quickly!
