Electromagnetic signals were arranged like star clusters.
Yun Ruoxi’s subconscious suddenly cracked.
*Snap!*
Stimulated by the electromagnetic signals, countless terrifying shadow tentacles grew out, thrusting into Yun Ruoxi’s subconscious along the cracks.
Like a pump, they frantically siphoned her Spirit Power to fuel their rapid growth.
Yun Ruoxi’s vision blurred, overtaken by a sea of scarlet.
The telekinesis she once controlled freely became sluggish and heavy, as if she were remotely operating a computer with extreme lag.
Countless stray thoughts — both good and bad, useful and useless — tumbled in the depths of her subconscious.
Thoughts that should have never surfaced were all jolted out by the Mental Brand, flooding Yun Ruoxi’s mind.
The noise caused a splitting headache, leaving her groggy and unable to think.
“Shut up… Shut up!”
Distraught by the intrusive thoughts, Yun Ruoxi’s face twisted in pain. Clutching her head, she muttered to herself and curled up in the air, hugging her legs.
If the relationship between a naturally matured Mental Brand and the consciousness of the brainwashed subject is like ivy on a wall, then through subtle influence, the ivy grows slowly until it eventually covers the entire wall.
It prevents the interior from seeing the outside world and stops the outside world from seeing the wall’s original form.
In that case, a Mental Brand forced into rapid growth was like a drastic overhaul of the entire wall, changing it fundamentally.
At this moment, these surging subconscious thoughts, under the influence of the Mental Brand, were carrying out a world-shaking transformation of Yun Ruoxi’s consciousness.
Those thoughts were buried back into the ocean of the subconscious. The good thoughts were reshaped by the Mental Brand, recombining with the bad ones.
“I knew it would happen eventually. There’s no way Yun Ruoxi could show off without taking a hit.”
“Mind control? The Doctor’s methods are too shameless. How heartbreaking. It looks like she’s really falling into corruption this time.”
At the same time, a flash of shock and fear crossed Mo Yuan’s eyes. The once-unbeatable Xinglan had become so fragile in an instant.
‘What kind of trump card had Dr. Forefinger planted in her?’
Before Mo Yuan could think further, Dr. Forefinger’s voice rang out from the neck collar again.
“Xinglan cannot control you now. Get your task done.”
Mo Yuan pursed his lips and nodded slowly. Clearing his thoughts, he began walking toward the spaceship.
One step, two steps… The sound of footsteps drifted further away.
With scarlet eyes, Yun Ruoxi stared at Mo Yuan’s retreating figure.
Among the thousands of stray thoughts, those related to Lin Zhen suddenly surged, gaining absolute dominance.
That previous kiss, and the promise of marriage…
She absolutely could not give up!
“Ajin… the promise… fifteen minutes!”
Yun Ruoxi gritted her teeth and, with a heavy tremble, raised her right hand to release most of her telekinesis in one go.
*Boom!*
Sensing the movement behind him, Mo Yuan suddenly lunged to the side.
A visible sphere of telekinesis swept past him at extreme speed, slamming into the spaceship. It formed a telekinetic shield that was as transparent as a bubble yet shimmered with flowing light.
*Thud!*
The heavy sound of a body hitting the ground came from behind him.
Mo Yuan looked back to see Yun Ruoxi, who had been floating just moments ago, falling straight from the sky.
The blue-haired girl struggled to lift her head. Her crimson eyes were bloodshot, filled with pure malice yet also appearing completely hollow.
“Brother Ajin… this is the last of my telekinesis…”
“What a terrifying gaze.”
“She’s about to be broken.”
‘That look…’
Mo Yuan felt a chill from her gaze. He quickly looked away and turned toward the spaceship enveloped by telekinesis.
He raised his right hand and switched to his psychokinetic ability, trying to use telekinesis to break the telekinetic shield.
*Sizzle!*
Mo Yuan closed his eyes, using his supernatural power to its full extent to cause interference.
The telekinetic shield trembled like a precarious bubble, but it showed no signs of shattering.
Whether it was to stop the Mental Brand in her mind from continuing to siphon her Spirit Power or just an accident, Yun Ruoxi had poured too much Spirit Power into this telekinetic shield at once.
As a result, even without her control, the shield continued to exist independently. It would not dissipate until it was forcibly broken or its star energy was exhausted.
Realizing this, Mo Yuan opened his eyes and abandoned the idea of using telekinesis to trick his way through.
Yun Ruoxi was a master of telekinesis; in terms of developing that power, no one in the entire battle camp could surpass her.
Since he had not spent much time developing his own telekinesis, it was impossible for him to break this shield with the same power in a short amount of time.
Mo Yuan took a deep breath and began to attempt a brute-force breach.
He switched through over a dozen combinations of powerful supernatural powers.
For instance, the combination of **[Extreme Speed]** and **[Body Scaling]** that had nearly killed Zi Jiu in an instant; dual-attribute supernatural powers where wind fanned fire; simple and crude double physical enhancement; and even overlapping rule-based abilities…
But no matter the combination, every attack that landed on the telekinetic shield was like a stone dropped into the ocean, yielding no effect.
Exhausted of a large amount of star energy, Mo Yuan was panting heavily.
Just as he was about to try another combination, Dr. Forefinger suddenly spoke.
“Stop, Mo Yuan. Do not waste your star energy. Calm down and save your star energy for when the telekinetic shield dissipates. Just stop the spaceship from taking off then.”
Mo Yuan nodded in understanding and leaned against the ruins to rest.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Yun Ruoxi’s eyes suddenly closed, and she lay motionless on the ground.
Yet, Mo Yuan, who had been observing her, felt as if something significant was happening inside her body — or perhaps within her mind.
Two minutes later, the telekinetic shield, lacking replenishment, had grown much thinner under the dual depletion of Spirit Power and star energy.
Mo Yuan stood up after confirming he could now easily break a shield of this level.
But in the next second, the spaceship lying quiet amidst the ruins suddenly shuddered.
The top armor slid open to either side, and a massive drill rose quickly, pointing straight at him.
*Whir!*
The drill accelerated instantly until it was a blur, then suddenly detached from the spaceship. It punctured the thin shield like popping a bubble.
Watching the drill fly toward him, Mo Yuan waved his hand to the side.
He activated his telekinesis and **[Metal Reconstruction]** simultaneously, forcing the drill to veer off course.
The drill plunged into the ground nearby, driving deep into the earth with unstoppable momentum.
“Finally couldn’t hold back anymore?”
Mo Yuan sneered as he floated up. He reached out toward the spaceship, where blue flames were lighting up in the exhaust vents.
He was about to use **[Metal Reconstruction]** again to destroy the engine, but the moment he activated his supernatural power, he discovered that the engine in that spot was a mere decoy!
The real engine had vanished from his sensory range as if it had evaporated.
