Chapter 496: Bombardment
Inside the Baruch Palace, the fierce battle between Dorothy and Mukhtar was drawing to a close. Both sides were in very bad shape. After Mukhtar used the final commandment with a high price, the situation that was originally favorable to Dorothy suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
Under the more powerful anti-injury discipline, Vanya fell unconscious, and Shadi also lost most of his mobility. Facing the two who had been lying on the ground for several days and had lost their ability to resist, Mukhtar did not hesitate. He immediately grabbed the scimitar and slashed at them. Dorothy, who was far away, saw this and immediately controlled several metal blades to lift Vanya, who was Mukhtar's target, away, allowing her to avoid Mukhtar's attack. However, at this moment, Vanya suddenly had a bloody wound on her body, which made Dorothy realize that Vanya and Shadi were still under Mukhtar's unavoidable discipline at this time, and doing so would trigger the discipline!
After realizing this, Dorothy immediately threw Vanya to Shadi's side, and then used magnetism to control countless metals to float up to protect them. Mukhtar attacked Vanya and the others with a scimitar countless times, but was blocked by the suspended metal. After experiencing a series of serious injuries, although Mukhtar is now wearing two high-level talismans, his physical ability has still declined significantly, and it is difficult to break through the defense composed of many metal objects for a while.
In the hidden space, in order to protect Vanya and the others, Dorothy continued her manipulation. Under the influence of the city defense system, most of the metal objects in the palace were mobilized and floated up, metal plates, metal statues, metal armor, metal weapons... countless iron objects gathered towards the hall from all directions. Under Dorothy's control, these metal objects were buckled above Vanya and the others, and they were tightly connected to each other to form a huge metal cover. With the insertion of more and more metal, the thickness of the metal shield continued to thicken and grow, and after a while it became something that Muhter could not shake at all.
"Not only can you control thunder...but you can also control iron?"
Looking at the huge and rapidly growing metal shell in front of him, Mukhtar could not help but say sternly, he knew very well that these strange abilities that he had never seen before were the work of the mysterious extraordinary person in the hidden space in the distance. Although he had suffered a counter-injury from himself, he had somehow managed to survive, and they were still hindering him until now.
"Go ahead, keep getting in the way... Anyway, this is all you can do now..."
Looking at the metal shield in front of him that was tight and still getting thicker, Mukhtar murmured coldly. He knew clearly that the mysterious man did not dare to attack him at the moment, and could only use this method to protect his companions. However, for Mukhtar now, although he did not have the ability to destroy the metal shield in front of him, his subordinates could.
At this time, Mukhtar could already sense that more and more of his men were entering this area of the palace after dealing with their opponents, and were gathering towards him based on their sense of direction, and would soon be by his side. Now the two main enemies in front of him had lost their combat effectiveness, so Mukhtar only had to wait for his men to come over, open the iron shell, kill the people inside, and then go to the Church of Prayer for Light to find the mysterious extraordinary person.
While Mukhtar was waiting for his men to gather, Dorothy, who was in the Qiwen Temple, was also very anxious. She had never thought that Mukhtar had a backup plan under such circumstances. She had indeed underestimated Chicheng before, thinking that she would be able to fight him with the city defense system.
"Oh no... This old guy actually has a trump card, and it's such a powerful one. Vanya fell down all of a sudden, and Shadi was also injured... What exactly is this trump card?
'The extraordinary people of the Red Stage... in addition to possessing powerful abilities, they also have a lifespan that is longer than that of ordinary people. The long time allows them to accumulate a lot of foundation... These foundations can greatly enhance their combat effectiveness in battle. I have somewhat underestimated Mukhtar's foundation.
"That guy's anti-escape rules are still there. I can't move Vanya and the others out now. I can only use magnetic force to create a protective shield to resist. But his men are gathering over there. Once they use explosives to blow up, this shield won't last for a few seconds. So we have to think of a way now..."
Sitting in the hidden space of the Qiwen Temple, Dorothy thought to herself that facing the current situation, if she wanted to figure out a solution, she must know what the commandments were that Mukhtar had read out. If she wanted to know the content of the commandments, she could only ask Shadi.
So, Dorothy Lilingsi contacted the puppet mark on Vanya and manipulated the unconscious Vanya who was protected by the metal cover. Under Dorothy's control, Vanya, who was lying on the ground, slowly sat up, opened her eyes and looked around the dim interior space of the metal protective cover, and finally stopped on Shadi who was gasping not far away.
"What are his precepts?"
Dorothy controlled Vanya to ask Sadie. Listening to Vanya's words, Sadie looked back at her with surprise, and then began to explain.
"Huh...Huh...That guy's commandment is a reinforcement of the old anti-injury commandment. Now, no matter who it is, as long as they want to attack that guy, and want to harm him, before the attack is made, the commandment will be triggered and they will be punished. The punishment is soul whipping, and the intensity is very high. Even an extraordinary person like me who is at the level of Silence will become like this after being hit..."
While panting, Shadi explained to Dorothy the power of Mukhtar's commandments. Dorothy couldn't help but frown after listening to it, and her face became slow and tense.
'As long as you want to hurt him, you will be punished before the attack is carried out... This time, the commandment directly involves a person's subjective will... As long as you want to hurt Mukhtar with subjective malice, you will be punished by the commandment before the action is carried out... No wonder, this is why the malicious treatment did not work...
"The discipline defense that involves subjective will... This is an ability that makes you invincible. The victim's subjective will determines whether to punish... This way, the original method of relying on malicious healing to bug the discipline is no longer a problem. Shadi's ice body is also restrained by Mukhtar's soul whip..."
After learning about the content of Mukhtar's commandments, Dorothy couldn't help but look very gloomy. For a moment, she couldn't think of any solution to break the rules.
For a rule like this that uses a person's subjective malice as the criterion for judgment, the easiest way Dorothy could think of to solve it is to deceive herself and hypnotize herself, completing the attack by deceiving herself, such as making herself think that I hit him because of him, but unfortunately Dorothy doesn't know this kind of self-hypnosis trick and can't do this.
If she couldn't hypnotize herself, then Mukhtar's commandment would become very difficult to deal with. Any mentally normal person would be hostile when attacking, and anyone who was ready to carry out this hostility would be punished in advance, unless they got a self-disciplined robot that specifically executed the killing program. It was impossible for Dorothy to come up with such a thing now.
Looking at the increasing number of Savior militants gathering towards the hall in the distance, Dorothy was extremely anxious. In her anxiety, she scanned the city, trying to find something that could be used. But she didn't glance around for a few times before she saw a very interesting place.
"This thing... seems to be able to work... "
From a high altitude perspective, Dorothy stared at a certain location in Addis with strange thoughts, and then an idea formed in her mind.
Then, at this critical moment, Dorothy decided to put her idea into practice immediately. She closed her eyes and used the information communication to call Nefernis in the distance.
…
In the suburbs of Addis, Nefernis, dressed in a golden robe, was near the Temple of the Initiates. All around her were the corpses of various Savior armed forces.
Not long ago, Nefernis followed Dorothy's orders and came to the Qiwen Temple, the base camp of the Savior Faction in Addis, and as the priest of the Judge of Heaven, she cleared the place with great fanfare. With the support of Dorothy's lightning power, the Qiwen Temple and the surrounding Savior Faction strongholds have been cleared. Because there is no coverage of the commandments here, most of the believers and militants have fled for fear of the thunder, and the temple here has become an empty temple.
"How is the situation with Sister Vanya now?"
Standing beside the temple, Nefernis looked at the smoke-filled Baruch Palace in the distance and couldn't help but murmured worriedly, but at this moment, she suddenly heard the familiar voice of Dorothy. She was startled for a moment, then listened carefully and found that it was her order.
"Shall I...go to the camp on the right?"
After hearing Dorothy's instructions, Nephnis did not have too many doubts. She turned around and walked quickly to the right as Dorothy said. After a while, she arrived at the Savior's armed base next to the Temple of Qiwen. Most of the people here had followed Mukhtar to attack the palace, and the remaining few were either killed or scared away, so the camp was now empty.
After entering the camp, Dorothy quickly gave Nefernis instructions.
"Now, Senior Sister Neveu, please go to the artillery position in front of you and wait for orders. Oh, and use your puppet ring to control two puppets together. After a while, you and the other two puppets will prepare to control the largest cannon on that position."
"cannon?"
Listening to Dorothy's words, Nephnis's gaze shifted to the camp's defenses, a very conspicuous fixed cannon. This cannon was a circle larger than the ordinary field artillery and seemed to be a type that was more suitable for use in fixed fortifications.
