"What, are you scared? Or are you feeling angry over the death of these people?" Amendina laughed mockingly, seeing Pei Yan silent for a long time, "You people chosen by the Investigation Hall, always so willing to uphold some tedious sense of justice, feeling sorry for unrelated people—is it worth it?"

"You still haven't told me how these guys turned into such hideous forms?" Pei Yan toyed with the knife in his hand, speaking indifferently.

"Hehehe, want to know? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Call me 'good sister' and I'll tell you," Amendina continued to tease.

After hearing this, Pei Yan was not angry but instead lightly smiled and slightly curled his lips, "Are you sure? Are you sure you want me to call you sister?"

"What, am I not worthy?" Amendina said, putting a hand on her waist. In that brief moment, the ugly puppet face morphed, once again turning into Amendina's ever so charming and enchanting face as she coquettishly spoke.

"Good sister, please tell me the secret behind this!" Pei Yan, rather than arguing over this, promptly fulfilled her request, pretending to be relaxed and softly pleaded.

"Since you're being so obedient, I'll teach you!" Amendina gleefully tapped Pei Yan's forehead with her fingertip and said, "These people were all ability users before life. It's just that they submitted to me, under my charm, and offered their souls to me."

Saying this, Amendina made a grabbing motion in the void, and a light blue crystal bottle appeared in her palm, presenting it in front of Pei Yan like a treasure, showing off, "Look, this is one of my collections!"

Pei Yan frowned as he stared at the crystal bottle before him. Suddenly, a face contorted in agony slammed against the bottle wall, startling Pei Yan to retreat a step back, followed by a heartrending, painful wail that entered his ears.

"Hmph, come out and see people instead of howling like a ghost, scaring my little brother," Amendina scolded displeased. Hearing this, the soul within the bottle whirled around, and upon seeing Amendina's manifested face through the transparent bottle wall, immediately ceased its wailing, with its painful expression gradually faded, replaced by a blissfully infatuated look.

Amendina, with disdain, tossed the bottle leisurely in her hand, smugly saying, "See? Even at this stage, they still remain hopelessly in love with me, foolish men! Weren't you curious about how these puppets are made? Telling you won't help; after extracting their souls, I fused characteristics from multiple planes' creatures to reconstruct their bodies, including the slaver you've encountered. Then, using techniques from both magic and Daoism, I reinforced them. During battle, as long as I temporarily align these source characteristic-laden souls with these bodies, they can reach battle power never achievable in life, hehehe. I am a kind soul, still fulfilling their life desires even after death."

She covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "Oh! Pardon me, their souls still exist, so they're not completely dead! Pei Yan, how do you feel knowing how I make my puppets? Don't worry, I won't turn you into one of them. Come, join me, and I'll give you endless joy, letting you enjoy the highest-level treatment while becoming my most precious collection."

Looking coldly at Amendina's invitation and then at the Soul Crystal Bottle discarded like trash, Pei Yan's expression turned twisted. Are those people considered alive? Maybe, but living this way is a thousand times more painful than death. This vile woman must be the embodiment of Lust, one of the Divine Desire Organization's Seven Deadly Sins.

Though she explained the general process of making these puppets, she left out key points. According to her, it's possible to achieve the battle effects just now when making these puppets. But Pei Yan wasn't a fool to be easily deceived. No matter how exquisite the puppets' construction, even if it can absorb and rebound his attack styles, fundamentally it still needs source energy to execute moves. Where does the energy supporting these puppets come from? Relying on the residual energy in those souls, probably won't last long; it'll be depleted along with the soul's dispersal, incapable of withstanding even a few of his strikes.

These puppets' energy must come from Amendina herself, but supporting hundreds of constantly attacking and reincarnating puppets' energy isn't something Amendina alone can endure; she must have ancillary means. That's also why she hid herself after the battle began. Pei Yan scoured the entire battlefield inside and out without finding her. The only explanation is she has her own independent parallel space like him, manipulating these puppets against him as a puppet master.

What a headache! Thinking of this, Pei Yan couldn't help but sigh. Although he mastered two Space Techniques, one given by Ye Jiumu not long ago, this kind of technique wasn't his strong suit. The best strategy in this situation was undoubtedly to capture the king to capture the thief, but that very king was hiding in a place he couldn't reach, leaving him helpless.

"What are you thinking? Decided to become my...?" Amendina, seeing Pei Yan remain silent, reached out with a finger to lift his chin, continuing to tempt. But before she finished, Pei Yan responded with action. He raised his arm, grabbed the wrist extended towards him, and twisted it outward. A cracking sound of bone fracture was heard as the puppet's entire arm turned to ashes. Then, he kicked the puppet's abdomen hard, sending it flying far away.

"Ungrateful brat, you've rejected me again and again. You're wearing out my patience!" Amendina's enraged hiss echoed from the air after her failure.

"You're out of patience? I'm even more so! You asked if you were worthy of being called sister by me; now I'll tell you! You're not worth it. Calling yourself a big sister to me, let me inform you, you can't bear that title, so exchange it with your life."

If capturing the king first wasn't feasible, then he'd go through the trouble of killing that king's soldiers one after another! A king without soldiers is nothing more than an empty-headed commander, nothing to fear!

Resolute, Pei Yan tossed his long knife into the air, then grabbed it with one hand, causing it to shatter into countless tiny blades. Then he raised his right hand high, pointing at the cluster of blades suspended above. Suddenly, the clear sky was covered with dark clouds, and moments later, bolts of lightning struck down. Each bolt hit the blade cluster with precision until every suspended blade was charged with the Power of Thunder, ready for action.
