The giant beast in the sky had its fleshy wings bound and could no longer fly.
Although Master Qiao possessed extraordinary powers of transformation, he could not remain airborne in his Eight-Armed Octopus form either.
Thus, the two enormous creatures plummeted straight toward the ground.
The entire fall took less than five seconds. Both massive bodies crashed down outside the boundary of the Protective Light Barrier.
The dull crash and trembling ground spoke volumes about the damage inflicted on the earth.
"Quick! Change the Protective Light Barrier's parameters!" Hua Long immediately ordered.
Two staff members hurried to carry out his instructions.
Meanwhile, the Steel Monster Master Qiao had transformed into sprouted two legs and hauled himself upright.
He held the monster aloft.
The monster continued struggling, but its strength was an order of magnitude below that of Master Qiao, a Divine Puppet Artisan. It could not even make him sway.
Carrying the monster like that, Master Qiao approached the light barrier step by step.
As he stepped forward, faint ripples spread across the barrier, and his enormous metal leg passed through without any resistance.
That was what made the Protective Light Barrier special. It was programmable, allowing both its defensive strength and the categories of things it repelled to be adjusted.
In less than half a minute, Master Qiao had carried the monster to the designated location.
The monster howled the whole way, its cries echoing through the sky, but nobody paid it any attention.
The location was a spacious clearing that occupied roughly a third of the entire base.
Eight enormous Metal Cuffs were anchored to the ground there. Each cuff had been custom-sized to secure a particular part of the giant beast's body.
Some restrained its body, others its wings, and still others its legs...
These Metal Cuffs
