Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1653

Chapter 1653: Landing

"Well?" Ye Guang asked.

"I managed to deduce some basic data, but even with that, the people from the Manufacturing Division will probably take a while to deduce any information," Wang Wei replied.

"But we don’t have time," the handsome elder man muttered. He looked at the screen, and the situation was far from ideal. Their side keeps losing puppets, but the enemy keeps replenishing theirs."How long do we have until we run out of puppets?" Wang Wei asked.

"We can last for a while, but that’s not the issue," Ye Guang replied. Due to the [Mass Assembly] method that the Dao Opening Sect offered, their sides have ample puppets to use. Still, the issue is that the destruction will eventually surpass their manufacturing speed. By then, they will have lost the puppet war, meaning their enemy will have an overwhelming advantage against them.

"I have something," Qiyuan said, and all eyes shifted on him.

"Look at this," he commented before manipulating the visual array and showing everybody a specific section of the Puppet Legion.

"What are we looking at?"

"This part of the legion is not exactly in the center, but surrounded enough that it is protected on all sides. They keep deploying their members, but based on my observation, the core individuals remain the same, and unlike other groups, they never leave the group without full members for more than 30 seconds. Lastly, they seem to have priority repair."

"You think the core is hiding in this group?" Ye Guang asked.

"Yes," Qiyuan nodded. The Puppet Legion is divided into millions of groups working together as one. After observing and analyzing every group closely, this particular one appears to be the only anomalous group with unique behavior patterns.

"It would make more sense that the [Core] is our timeline, and since they wouldn’t want to make it obvious that one puppet was unique, the best approach is to hide it in plain sight."

"For now, that is," Wang Wei added. Now, these people have no base or foundation in this timeline, so they have no choice but to take this approach for their [Puppet Core], but in the future, it will be another story.

"We’ll talk about the future when it’s needed," Ye Guang said. "Before that, let’s deal with the issue at hand. What’s the order?"

"Let’s test out the Invisible Puppet Squad. However, order the Array Legion to remain on standby in case they fail. I want a direct obliteration strike on that group to instantly eliminate the core."

As soon as those words exited the Grand Strategist’s mouth, they were to be executed. A group of stealth-based puppets was deployed to infiltrate the enemy’s lines. They bypassed all the fighting and chaos, heading directly to the group that may contain the core. However, as soon as they reached within 1000 meters of their target, someone detected them.

"We got them," Ye Guang commented. The fact that no other group had detected the Invisible Puppet except for this one was further proof of its anomaly. The Invisible Squad executed their directives. They rushed toward the enemy and blew themselves up. Their actions eliminated countless members of the group, but a potent shield protected the core.

Unfortunately, such an act only revealed more information about this group. The Array Legion soon received information about the shield’s strength and adjusted accordingly. An enormous magic array appeared above this dimension before releasing a purple light that pierced through their shields and annihilated everybody in the group. The War Room waited with baited breath, and after more than a minute, they sighed in relief. The repairs stopped. While the enemy’s puppets were still better than theirs, they had the numerical advantage.

A new screen appeared next to Ye Guang. "What is it?" Qiyuan asked.

"The Divine Manufacturing Division is asking that we try to capture a few samples for their study. They also complained we shouldn’t have utterly decimated the core since they could learn something from its wreckage."

Qiyuan ignored the complaint. "Send a few Invisible Puppet Squads with sealing talismans to capture the samples."

The battle continued. After the first wave, the spatial portal created from the gate released a second wave of puppets, and just like the first, there was a core, which had been designated as the [Puppet Queen] by the Primordial Timeline. Wang Wei was tasked for the second time to try divination for this wave, but the result was the same, meaning he could only gather the same information as the previous.
