This powerful Consciousness Stream continued surging toward Leo's soul, attempting to seize control of it.
But this time, the situation was different from any previous one. The soul that should have been forcibly fused was now protected by an incomparably powerful shield outside it.
A faint yellow energy shield formed the first layer of defense, causing the surging energy to begin dissipating.
After passing through this layer of screening, the powerful Consciousness Stream was drastically reduced, as though the faint yellow shield had heavily eroded it. It transformed into pure Mental Power and dispersed throughout Leo's body.
The consciousness that remained and managed to break through the Mind Stone's defenses consisted entirely of the most persistent and resolute streams of consciousness. They contained the most important information and matters within his consciousness.
Only these utterly resolute consciousnesses could break through this Mental Defense that should never have been breached.
One had to understand that this was the Mind Stone, the Mind Stone among the Infinity Stones. Even though Leo had yet to master it completely, it was still the absolute controller of all mental energy.
Even the Celestial's consciousness energy had been eroded by more than ninety-five percent. Only that deepest shred of obsession finally broke through, concealed within the surrounding consciousness.
This final shred of obsession charged toward Leo's soul.
It did not stop until it struck the final Golden Shield. Even though this obsession was like the sharpest steel needle, the moment it collided with the Golden Shield, it instantly disintegrated without causing the slightest disturbance.
The Consciousness Stream's clean disintegration left even Leo somewhat unable to react.
It was precisely because of Leo's two Mental Defenses, which were absolutely impossible to break through, that the powerful Consciousness Stream contained within the Golden Bead rapidly disintegrated and vanished.
