Three types of puppets: melee, ranged, and support.
They could easily form a tactical squad capable of performing a variety of missions.
Unfortunately, although Gustavo wove a complex neural network using extremely fine spider silk, giving these puppets a certain degree of logical thinking ability and enabling them to handle some simple tasks, the puppets were not perfect.
However, the puppet is still far from being able to go out on missions on its own. Once it's too far away, Gustavo will be unable to interfere with the puppet's actions.
In his vision, a fully-formed puppet should be an existence like a [Divine Apostle] or an [Angel].
It can not only independently complete various complex tasks, but also become a vessel for one's own consciousness to descend.
Even across billions of miles, or even in different dimensions and Space-Time, one can imbue a puppet with their consciousness in an instant.
That was the ultimate form of puppet in Gustavo's mind.
The puppets they have now are still too rudimentary, only in their initial form. Although this makes Gustavo very happy, it is far from enough to make him proud.
"However, at least we've taken the first step, and things will only get better from here on out," Gustavo thought optimistically.
"The three puppets are all finished; it's time for them to go out and gain some experience."
Since birth, Gustavo has stayed in his territory, quietly developing his abilities.
More than two months ago, they wiped out the Brooks Mercenary Corps in the Alternate Space Prison, and were later chased by the Earth Flame Python. Although they managed to escape with the help of the Shadow Cloak, the damned python has been lurking around the Caro Volcano for some time since then.
The Earth Flame Python is an earth-type magical beast that can detect various movements by using the pulse of the earth, making it extremely powerful in reconnaissance.
Whenever Gustavo goes out to forage, this guy will target him. Although he manages to escape every time, it's still incredibly annoying.
Moreover, the high-level magical beasts and monsters in the vicinity seemed to have also noticed the appearance of a terrifying predator, and they all fled and migrated, so that Gustavo was able to catch fewer and fewer high-level prey during this period.
Gustavo glanced at the information panel and looked at the combat power level displayed on it: 523~689 Dale.
According to the division of the Astral Realm combat power levels.
700 Dale is already considered to be in the realm of Ninth-Rank Transcendent.
With Dale 689, it's only 11 Dale away from 700, already reaching the peak of the Tier Eight in terms of combat power.
This level of combat strength would be sufficient for self-defense even on the perilous Planet Pandora.
If it weren't for the Luck Deprivation of his existence, Gustavo would have already gone out to gain experience.
How slow is it to hunt by yourself?
They work hard all year round but don't catch much game.
Having others hunt for them and find various higher-bloodline creatures is the correct path for future development.
In addition, the complete Hades requires a large amount of materials, which would be extremely difficult for Gustavo to collect on his own. Only by going to a place where living beings gather and relying on the power of other creatures can he collect the materials in a short time.
Moreover, places with many intelligent beings are more likely to find Transcendent individuals who cultivate the path of gravity, making it easier to hunt prey.
"However, just in case, I should go find Spider Mom and ask for a talisman first. I can't be careless." With that thought in mind, Gustavo stuffed the three puppets into the bag, hung it on a thick barb below his chest, and then slowly crawled out of the cave.
After donning the Shadow Cloak, Gustavo vanished from his spot.
Inside the Fallen Star Nest, scorching red lava gurgles and flows, while siblings Mora and Bradley are enjoying a relaxing soak in the "hot spring."
Since Gustavo left, the two of them have been living a very comfortable life.
Without the influence of Luck Deprivation, they are no longer unlucky, they no longer have to be careful when eating for fear of choking, and they no longer have to worry about being hit by stones that suddenly fall from above their nests.
Without the "King of Curls" constantly curling up beside him, his usual exercise routine has become more laid-back. He sleeps in until he naturally wakes up every day, which is incredibly relaxing.
"Ah, this is the kind of life we Dragon-Hunting Spider should be living, so comfortable." Bradley spread out his eight claws, floating on the lava, his spider eyes narrowed into eight slits, his joyful mood palpable to anyone.
Mora didn't say anything, but judging from her languid posture, she was clearly enjoying herself.
Just then, a huge shadow loomed over, and under the red light, an exceptionally ferocious monster's figure appeared on the stone wall.
"Hey, you two seem to be having a good time!" came a voice with a half-smile.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the two siblings were startled and sprang from the lava pool, landing on the ground.
The next moment, they all looked up at the same time and saw Gustavo, whose appearance had changed drastically.
"Wow, it's huge!" Bradley stared blankly at his brother.
Thick bone armor, covered with sharp spikes, muscles bulging high, blade feet gleaming coldly, most terrifyingly, the elder brother had grown to 12 meters tall, more than ten times his size.
"You... you really are Gustavo?" Mora asked hesitantly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
It's only been a short time, has my younger brother been taking hormones?
"What? You haven't seen your own brother for months, and you don't even recognize him?" Gustavo teased, head down.
He actually missed the siblings quite a bit after not seeing them for a while.
"Why did you come back? Were you bullied outside?" Mora walked to Gustavo's side, stretched out her blade and tapped the latter's Thorn Armor, making a crisp clinking sound.
"You think I'd be bullied? You're kidding! Wherever I go, beasts bow down before me, and three intelligent beings have traveled thousands of miles just to seek refuge with me."
Gustavo proudly raised his head and untied the bag hanging below his chest, releasing the three puppets.
"Greetings, Master!"
The three men, Lennar and his companion, knelt on the ground, appearing extremely respectful. Their expressions and movements were also very natural, making it impossible to tell that they were puppets.
In reality, each of them has an imperceptible thread connecting them to the back of their heads, like a puppet controlling the actions of the three puppets.
"How about it? What do you think of my three men?" Gustavo boasted, his vanity becoming particularly strong in front of the two siblings.
"Tch, all show and no substance, just three ugly ducklings and cracked dates. I'm not envious at all," Mora said dismissively.
If Gustavo hadn't noticed her constantly glancing at the three puppets out of the corner of her eye, she would have believed her older sister's words.
Bradley was much simpler and less stubborn; he actually greatly admired and idolized his older brother.
Upon seeing the three puppets, Gustavo showered them with praise. He was delighted and generously took out a sword from his pocket and gave it to his younger brother.
This sword is Gustavo's trophy, a two-star Rare quality Transcendent equipment. It has a beautiful and gorgeous design and is very suitable for collection.
Bradley was overjoyed when he received the sword, and he played with it with it with great delight.
Mora was very envious, but she remained aloof and indifferent.
Upon seeing this, Gustavo couldn't help but laugh.
But he knew that his sister was just like that, stubborn to the extreme, so he didn't tease her anymore. Instead, he took out a bluish-white staff and gave it to Mora.
Here, this is a gift for you.
"For me?" Mora's eyes lit up, somewhat incredulous. Was this really my second brother?
"You don't want it? Then I'll take it back." Gustavo said, making a move to retrieve his staff.
"Who said I don't want it? Give it to me!" Mora was anxious and jumped up, biting the staff. Gustavo released it, and the staff was in Mora's hand.
"Hehe, you're thoughtful, your sister hasn't spoiled you for nothing." Mora rubbed her cheek against her staff and said something Gustavo had never heard before.
"Tsk, sure enough, money makes the world go round." Gustavo shook his head, seemingly having discovered the secret to dealing with his older sister.
