The moment the Level-Six Lord of Souls was completely killed by the fusion energy, the Vajra Giant finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Leo knew that it would be difficult to annihilate them if he fought them head-on with his own strength, so he pretended to be weak and let himself be captured by the Level-Six Lord of Souls. In reality, he was just creating an opportunity for the deliberately scattered metal to get closer.
If the battle remains in a stalemate, it will introduce many variables.
Metal Fusion with fewer than 20 atoms is the strongest offensive spell Leo can currently unleash using the cosmic-level treasure Black Metal Module. Only this strongest spell can render Level-Six Lord of Souls incapable of resistance in a single blow. The reliable damage of the Metal Fusion spell to Level-Six Lord of Souls has already been verified in the battle outside the Thousand Pools World.
Having confirmed that the souls of the Level-Six Lord of Souls had dissipated, Leo flew to the two captured World Lord and looked directly into their eyes.
You can see their fear of themselves, their struggle and resistance in their eyes; they have no problem expressing their emotions.
Tell me your names and identities.
Leo attempted to communicate with these two World Lord using his mental power.
"Wizard, you won't get any information out of us."
The World Lord also had the mental power to answer Leo's question, but the tone of his mental power transmission was very stiff, like an emotionless broadcasting machine, with a completely mechanical and stuttering tone.
"Since you don't want to communicate with me, then let me see your soul."
Leo couldn't wait to verify his conjecture, so he grabbed the head of one of the World Lord, and a soul that looked exactly like the World Lord was pulled out of his body.
"Um?"
What is this?
Yaoyao stared at the soul Leo had pulled out, and was utterly shocked the moment she saw what the soul looked like.
Leo looked at the soul in his hand with the same shocked expression. Although he had already made up his mind, he still couldn't help but feel a huge wave of shock when he saw it.
The soul, which resembled the World Lord, was covered by dense, spiderweb-like threads that completely enveloped its entire body.
These threads, like blood vessels in the human body, are distributed throughout every part of the body!
"Is this why you're being controlled?"
Leo pointed to the threads within his soul and asked the World Lord.
The World Lord, completely controlled by Leo using metal, looked at the soul in Leo's hand, his eyes filled with endless sorrow, but he didn't utter a single word.
The situation is now crystal clear: these World Lord are indeed forcibly controlled by the threads within these souls, and their souls are bound by restrictions, preventing them from speaking many things.
This is the most common method used to control lower life forms, firstly to achieve complete control, and secondly to keep secrets.
Leo took out the crystal ball, intending to illuminate the location of the threads within the soul and study them carefully. The secret to controlling the World Lord lay within these dense threads.
But in the second breath World Lord left his body, the entire soul exploded without warning and completely dissipated.
"This kind of restriction...?"
Leo wasn't angry about the suddenly exploding and disappearing soul; instead, he was puzzled by the aura revealed at the moment the soul exploded.
"What's wrong?"
Yaoyao watched as Leo continuously collected the aura left behind when the soul exploded, and asked in confusion.
"This method of preventing secrets from being leaked is very similar to the restrictions that wizards set on the souls of slaves. It's just that the souls shatter too quickly, so I'm not entirely sure." Leo tried to collect any residual traces after the soul shattered, but there were absolutely none; the soul had completely dissipated.
Although Leo had carefully examined the layout of the threads within his soul, the time was too short for him to remember much.
Moreover, this kind of secret technique that connects the entire soul internally is very likely to require customization, that is, one style for each soul.
It was useless for him to remember the location of all the threads in his soul, because his soul had shattered and was gone; he no longer had a test subject to study.
Leo's gaze fell upon the second World Lord, and as he watched his companion die silently, the Vajra Giant's massive hand landed on his head.
Leo could see hatred, anger, and a kind of... relief in his eyes.
"Tell me everything you can tell me, and I'll give you a quick death, okay?"
The Vajra Giant's massive hand failed to grasp the soul of the World Lord. The person controlling them had already placed a restriction on their souls. Even if he managed to grab their souls, he wouldn't be able to analyze anything. It would be better to extract some information from them.
The World Lord showed no sign of seeking peace, nor did he desire a quick death from Leo. Instead, he continued to stare at Leo with a gaze filled with fighting spirit, as if he wanted to remember Leo's appearance so that he would continue to curse Leo even after death.
A life that is being manipulated has no rights of its own; once an order is given, it must be carried out.
"Wizard, wizard..."
A frenzied mental force emerged from the World Lord's mind, and amidst what sounded like angry shouts and curses, his soul suddenly collapsed and exploded.
Leo was still waiting for his feedback when, unexpectedly, he suddenly died.
The Vajra Giant grabbed his body and quickly examined him; the cause of death was indeed the collapse of his soul.
"What does this mean? Does he hate you that much? Or does the Lord of Souls controlling him hate the wizard so much that he was killed when the wizard captured him alive?" Yaoyao was bewildered by what she saw.
How could he suddenly die?
Everything was fine just a second ago...
"Perhaps there was a restriction placed on his soul regarding the topic of wizards, and he was just too emotional, triggering a certain trigger point."
The Vajra Giant, clutching the corpse of the World Lord, recalled everything he had just witnessed on the World Lord's body.
The World Lord's emotions clearly shifted when he expressed a desire to know some secret; it was as if he wanted to tell him something in exchange for a quick death.
He had barely uttered two words when the restriction was triggered, and he died.
Leo placed the two corpses of World Lord into the wizard's ring. Although their souls had completely dissipated, perhaps information could still be found in their physical bodies.
"What is now certain is that the Returning Breath World possesses a method to control the World Lord, and they are currently capturing Saint -Stigmata Wizard Stigmata Wizard a large scale in order to manipulate them."
"This ability must have extremely strict conditions, otherwise the Returning Breath World wouldn't have sent these World Lord when they were attacked right on their doorstep." Leo looked at the completely shattered fragments of the Death Star, his mind racing.
"So, are you going to send this information to the War Command?" Yaoyao asked.
"No, this news has no impact on the current battle situation. Whether the War Command knows about it or not, it doesn't affect the number of the enemy."
Leo rejected Yaoyao's suggestion. There were still spies in the War Command, and saying too much would not do him any good. In any case, the other Stigmata Wizard would find out later anyway.
"What's the next step? The Returning Breath World can pinpoint the location of the Stigmata Wizard. You can't hide the fact that you killed Level-Six Lord of Souls and nine Level 5 combatants. The pursuers that follow will definitely outnumber two Level 6s," Yaoyao said.
Two level six enemies—this is a level that Leo absolutely cannot handle right now. Just thinking about it gives Leo a headache. He originally thought that since the enemy couldn't find him, he could Yaoyao by relying on the intelligence system of his clone Black Soluo, who was in the shadows.
The result was that he was in the open while the enemy was in the shadows. His opponents knew how many breaths he took each day, so how could he possibly escape?
"How exactly did they locate the Stigmata Wizard? Even if the mole was in the War Command, they shouldn't have this kind of ability," Yaoyao, confused.
Even the wizarding army couldn't pinpoint the location of every single Stigmata Wizard, so why could the Returning Breath World do it? This is completely beyond the capabilities of an undercover agent. It's not that the undercover agent wasn't trying, but rather that even the wizarding army couldn't achieve such precision.
Without accurate intelligence, how could an undercover agent transmit information to the Returning Breath World?
Leo pondered everything that had happened since the war, but he couldn't find any possible clues. The methods used by the Returning Breath World were beyond his comprehension.
"Is it possible that we are within the radiation range of the Returning Breath World Will, and that the Returning Breath World Will is able to pinpoint our exact location?" Yaoyao speculated.
If the Wizard World cannot pinpoint their exact location, then it's not a leak by an undercover agent, but rather the Returning Breath World's own capability.
The universe is so vast that Level-Six Lord of Souls certainly cannot locate every Stigmata Wizard.
Supreme Lord couldn't do it.
"They just detonated the World Will of 521 worlds, Returning Breath World Will should be in a weakened state. It's also possible that it's some powerful cosmic-level treasure." Leo could only speculate like this.
The current situation is that, until he finds a way to avoid this place that can pinpoint his exact location at any time, he is completely under the watchful eye of the Returning Breath World, and there is no way for him to escape the ambush set up by the Lord of Souls.
He now had a bad feeling, as if the Lord of Souls was waiting for him right in front of him.
"The mothership is destroyed. We can't cross the vast interstellar space on our bare hands alone. We need to find another mothership," Yaoyao said.
"With my current strength, how far could I jump in one leap if I were to use the Shadow World?"
Leo wasn't in a hurry to find the mothership, because if he did, it would likely meet the same fate as the previous motherships. He was better off finding another way to cross this area radiated by the Returning Breath World Will.
"I advise you to abandon this idea. There's no fixed jump location, and I can't guarantee where you'll be after jumping out of the Shadow World. It wouldn't be surprising if you jumped directly into the interior of a star." Yaoyao immediately rejected Leo's dangerous idea.
Even without a precise target, he couldn't guarantee a safe jump every time; the universe is fraught with dangers: terrifying life forms, black holes, stars...
Although Leo is a level 5 life form with considerable strength, level 5 life forms are only the foundation for survival in the universe.
To attempt a long-distance leap from the Shadow World is undoubtedly gambling with one's life on the mercy of death, making it even more dangerous than forcibly breaking through the defenses of the Lord of Souls.
