Starting from the Planetary Governor

Li Ang casually glanced at the most crucial progress indicator for breaking the Dark Side of Sky Net's energy, noting that there were still five or six minutes left. Then, he opened his mouth to explain a bunch of things to Yao Cheng, like a villain who loves to talk.

But he didn't actually have that much to say. If he could have resolved Yao Cheng, this opponent, swiftly and neatly, he would have preferred not to say a word.

Isn't that impossible?

His goal was to delay time, so talking a bit more to draw the opponent's attention was a good thing.

Yao Cheng looked very angry: "Despicable and shameless!"

"Ha, you set up a trap for me, ambushed me, and call that being upright? Saying things like 'despicable and shameless' at times like this is just making me laugh."

Yao Cheng was infuriated. He roared, and because he had diverted support to other Yunlang Soldiers, the Dark Giant around him had become much smaller than before. A very dense dark power emanated from him. Numerous black spears shot fiercely toward Li Ang. At the same time, his Dark Battle Axe, wielded by extended energy arms, slashed angrily at Li Ang.

However, none of these tactics posed any real threat to Li Ang. He didn't even need to resort to [Mist Spell] for preservation. With just his agility, he was able to dodge all those seemingly fierce, but actually disorderly attacks.

This gave Li Ang an even stronger sense of just how significantly the Dark Side of Sky Net's power could affect the user's mind.

Surely Yao Cheng would be aware of this and would have various protective measures in place.

But judging by his current appearance, his mental state was clearly abnormal. As the battle progressed, his rationality was inevitably severely impacted.

Of course, Yao Cheng's current state hadn't yet reached madness, but it was definitely far from calm. If he was calm, Li Ang's slight provocation wouldn't have made him look so furious, nor would he make irrational decisions—bursting out forcefully to launch attacks that were almost impossible to hit, with drastically reduced attack accuracy, which was certainly irrational.

The key point is that Li Ang's cost in this is very low. With mind manipulation fields, he still needed to use spells, allocate computing power, distribute spiritual power, and find a way to break through the top-level firewalls on the opponent. How much effort would that take?

But now, there's no need to do any of that. Just with some free words, he could provoke Yao Cheng's emotions, causing him to make foolish mistakes as if he'd lost his mind.

So what's there to hesitate about? Shouldn't I keep up the good work!

Thus, Li Ang continued to taunt: "You're truly ridiculous. You set up a whole trap and schemes, only to be played by me like a monkey..."

Yao Cheng, in a rage, launched another mindless attack. Undoubtedly, this was also in vain, and incidentally, because too much energy was diverted, the dark powers that originally enveloped a few soldiers disappeared.

Of course, Li Ang seized this opportunity, capturing all these individuals with his mind control capabilities.

The effect of the mind field was much greater than before. This was expected, after all, previously Li Ang was trying to control dozens of targets with high mental defenses, influencing their attack accuracy through mental illusions. But now, since all others were shrouded by Yao Cheng's Dark Force Field and couldn't be targeted within the mind field, he didn't need to pay any attention to them at all.

Suddenly, a few slipped out, so he went full intensity with a complete blast. The ultimate outcome was successful; as soon as these individuals were freed from the cover of the Dark Force Field, Li Ang dealt with them immediately.

From here, the task was simple: set up an imaginary target and guide them to shoot at their teammates.

The damage they could cause was limited, but that didn't matter because Li Ang wasn't relying on these few mind-captured people to inflict significant harm on the enemy.

Their 'betrayal', with their attack targets being confused by Li Ang's mind field, definitely required attention. Meanwhile, Yao Cheng, who had just exhausted a burst of dark power in futile attacks on Li Ang, didn't have time to allocate more energy to help his mind-captured subordinates break free from mind control.

In this case, Yao Cheng had no other option. The only thing he could do was to kill these mind-controlled soldiers himself to prevent further damage.

But the losses already incurred were unavoidable, mainly, the biggest was the deaths of a few individuals.

Having lost a few more subordinates, and being forced to kill them himself, Yao Cheng became even more enraged.

He roared and launched another fierce assault on Li Ang.

However, his rationality seemed not to be entirely off; he realized that the previous mistake of attacking too fiercely had led to the failure of the dark powers covering his subordinates, giving Li Ang the opportunity. This time, he did not repeat that mistake, only directing his fury towards Li Ang.

Of course, in the end, he still hit nothing.

Li Ang decided to further fan the flames of his anger: "Look at you, vividly demonstrating what impotent rage is—it's fucking hilarious!"
