Chapter 593: A Total Mess

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Hao Ren started to have frequent contact with the First Born, he knew that he had to increase his resistance to mental attacks because the tentacles had no mercy and that it understood all the weaknesses of all creatures. Strong shields and strong armor might make a man as bulletproof as a superman, but a fragile heart was always the most difficult soft spot to protect. It was a hard thing to get armed, and once it was broken, it would be beyond redemption. Hao Ren had acquired a far more resilient mind after physical intensification and long-term training, but he knew that he still needed some things to keep alive: One's mental strength was a hard indicator, once it was broken, even the most powerful warriors could not save themselves, so he needed some powerful equipment to protect him.

The Crapple Research Station had provided him with help in this regard: The prison, which was designed to deal with the First Born, was filled with structures that could isolate the mental attack. Its main container was covered with protective crystals that could isolate any unauthorized mental activity. Even if the First Born woke up, its mental roar could not reach the space station.

When Hao Ren left the Crapple Research Station, he just took something he felt would be useful, and now it seemed that it turned out to be a great help for him. Unfortunately, he only took a piece of protective crystal—he could only hope that the power in the thing was strong enough.

And it should be: Theoretically, below the gods, no mental strength of any mortal species could exceed that of the First Born.

Hao Ren, Lily, and Vivian quickly returned to the front gate of the palace. The gate was already broken. A hot corridor stretched out behind the gate. The surrounding water echoed with restless, active magic. They dared not delay and rushed directly into the palace, but they also did not let down their guards along the way. They were in the deep water which belonged to the sirens. Only God knows whether the giant brain that occupied the Queen had learned the power to control water. It was better to stay alert here.

After crossing several doors, Lily suddenly pointed to the front and exclaimed, "Look! Sirens!"

Hao Ren was holding a silver lance in front of him. He saw more than ten sirens lying on the ground not far ahead. Judging by the style of their dress and the trident on their hands, they should be the members of the Queen's Guard—the ones most severely controlled by the giant brain. Hao Ren walked over and gingerly moved the body of one of the sirens with his lance, and found that she did not have any wounds on her body. She just stared blankly into space, lying there as if she lost her soul.

"The giant brain may be gathering its power," Vivian immediately responded, "The puppets in the city have probably lost their ability to act!"

Hao Ren lifted the lance, swimming pass the 'corpses' and to the depths of the palace.

As they were about to reach the Queen's bedroom, they could already hear the noise of explosions and the shrill sound of a certain spell, together with strange hissing noises. Three of them immediately felt the surrounding water was filled with an electric field that made their skin tingle. The reaction of the electric field was much stronger than the one they felt in the underground chamber the last time: The body of that giant brain monster was right here!

Another burst of explosions came from the front. Hao Ren saw a small figure flew out together with the shock wave, he quickly moved forward to catch it and found that it was Y'lisabet.

The little demon was blackened by smoke, but she did not suffer from anything major injury, just a little confused. She was shaking her head for some time in Hao Ren's arms before she realized where she was now, and there was a moment that she even wanted to attack Lily next to her, but fortunately, she managed to calm down in time.

"It's thrilling!" The little girl opened her mouth and spat out dark smoke, then coughed and said, "Uncle Ren, quickly go and help them. Now only left my dad and two hunters are not being controlled! Just now I wanted to pull sister and brother Nangong out, but I accidentally blew myself up!"

Hao Ren then immediately clenched the protective crystal and rushed in, at the same time, he did not forget to remind Lily and Vivian, "Stay close to me! Try to be near the protective crystal!"

As soon as he rushed into the palace, Hao Ren felt a terrible heat wave hitting him. He turned to see a five-meter-tall lava demon standing in the middle of the room. It was Y'zaks in his original form.

The roof of the palace had been blown up. There was nothing intact in the surroundings except a broken wall. The most eye-catching thing on the scene was Y'zaks huge body. And not far ahead of him was a turbulent water flow, which twisted and distorted into strange forms, and at its core, a woman's posture was dimly visible. It was the Queen of Sirens, whose body was already occupied by the giant brain. The raging water flow was surrounded by whirlpools that were strong enough to tear up the steel, accompanied by a strong electric field, water stream as sharp as waterjet, a pervasive mental attack and other magic that were pouring on Y'zaks at the same time. Y'zaks remained sober and was still fighting, but apparently, his fighting power had been weakened in the deepwater and, together with the unexpected mental attack, the tough man was suppressed for the first time.

The giant demon waved and crushed the whirlpool that was pouring on him. The molten lava on his arm kept turning into pieces of iron and obsidian and dropping on the ground. He was almost completely covered in bubbles and smoke. "Take the others away first!" he yelled.

The turbulent water flow immediately noticed the new enemy on the battlefield. For a moment Hao Ren felt that the water in his body was about to gush out of the body as if it was out of control, but then the shield system reacted and stop the deadly attack. Hao Ren calmed down and then found that there were some bright lights flashing in the smoke behind Y'zaks.

He rushed over there with Lily and Vivian and found the three demon hunters were in the scuffle. Hasse and White Flame were working together to suppress Teuton that had lost control. The quiet, tall demon hunter's eyes were clouded with murky shadow, and he was waving two strange machetes to attack whoever within sight. The blade was shining with magic lights. Each time the blade fell, it left behind a sharp mark in the water lasted for several seconds and some of the scattered pieces of rock metal that fell into the sharp marks would be split in half instantly. Hasse was using a crossbow to control Teuton's action. The small crossbow was constantly flashing on those two machetes to limit Tutani's attack to a very small range. And White Flame, though she was helping, apparently her condition was not very good: her eyes were also clouded with murky shadow, and the white flames sprang up constantly around her, for a moment she would attack Teuton or the Queen, but the next moment she would attack in the direction of Hasse.

Even if she was a rare genius in thousands of years, the mental strength of White Flame was still too weak.

"Get out of here and stay away from here!" Hao Ren yelled at Hasse, and at the same time, a strong sense of danger hit him. He quickly dodged and saw that the place he just stood looked like it was being cut into pieces by countless blades, and he was totally shocked: The attack was intangible. It was high-pressure high-speed waterjet that was condensed in the water. It was such a close shave.

Y'zaks suddenly roared and summoned his magic sword and chopped at the direction of the siren Queen, which interrupted the giant brain's attack and blew up the walls. Teuton also regained control of his mind at once. Hasse saw it, immediately motioned White Flame to leave this place with Teuton, he then turned to Y'zaks and said, "I can resist the mental attack. You go to help the mixed-blood siblings."

At this time, Hao Ren found where the two Nangong was. They were in the corner of the remaining walls and there was a big bubble. He rushed over there with the protective crystal and saw Nangong Sanba was lying unconscious in the bubble. His clothes were torn, but he did not have any visible wounds, and Nangong Wuyue was frantically casting various healing spells on him. Nangong Sanba's injury was obviously healed by this overdose treatment.

Vivian immediately caught Wuyue's tail and said, "Wuyue, take your brother out, the farther the better."

Nangong Wuyue turned her head and hissed at Vivian strangely, and then cast a lot of healing spells on her.

Lily pointed to Wuyue's eyes and shouted, "She's also being controlled!"

Hao Ren just noticed that Nangong Wuyue's situation was exactly the same as Teuton. Her eyes were clouded with murky shadow, and she was in a confused state of mind. However, he soon realized something really funny—

This siren… only knew healing spells!

Nangong Wuyue had already lost her mind and had no idea what was happening around her. Under the control of the mental attack, she was casting all the spells she knew crazily, including the Healing Ring and the Surging Current like it was free. She was treating her brother, and now Hao Ren, Lily, and Vivian were also being covered by the healing spells. At the same time, Wuyue pulled back her tail from Vivian's hand, hissing fiercely while kept poking Hao Ren in the arm with the tip of her tail… which was totally powerless.

A siren who only knew healing spells was still harmless even when she was under mind control…

Lily looked at the healing glow that kept flickering on her body and stretched comfortably. "Why do I feel that Wuyue is more useful now than before?" she asked.

Vivian rolled her eyes and said, "Well, at least she was not so timid when she was losing her mind, but she's still not a threat."

Wuyue shook her head, and then kept on poking Hao Ren in the arm with her tail…
