#29Chapter 7: A beautiful fairy tale, no need for oppressionAI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Mu Yang scoffed as he watched Puppet Life, which due to its ignorant nature, was unable to reach its peak state.
"Don't... laugh!"
Seeing that sarcastic smile, Puppet Life was enraged. Every decision it made was absolutely perfect! Absolutely correct! Beyond question!
Masses of black mist surged from its body, transforming into the pained, fearful faces of children, rushing towards Mu Yang, the giant wolf, and Little Red Riding Hood.
"You have received a blessing from Little Red Riding Hood: Stamina recovery speed +20%, maximum health and mana temporarily increased by 10%, and you can mobilize some energy within the Fairy Tale Space."
Blood Flame transformed into a massive blood-colored arm, and under Mu Yang's control, it shattered the black mist heads rushing towards him one by one.
At the same time, the blazing sun constantly circling behind Mu Yang's head suddenly burst forth with intense light. Its sacred and bright aura made Puppet Life incredibly disgusted, causing it to instinctively retract its perception of Mu Yang.
The next second, the Blood Flame clinging to the tree trunk, under Mu Yang's control, transformed into ferocious blood dragons, roaring as they charged towards it.
Sensing the blood dragons' outwardly strong but inwardly weak energy fluctuations, Puppet Life showed disdain, as if looking at a disobedient child waving a wooden stick.
Black mist crisscrossed around its body, clashing with the blood dragons, and only after expending a certain amount of black mist did it successfully quell this attack.
And while Puppet Life focused on the blood dragons, Mu Yang's hands and the blazing sun behind his head emitted strong energy fluctuations.
When it sensed something was wrong and shifted its gaze, it only saw Mu Yang clap his hands together, and a tiny Blood Sun condensed between his palms.
The blazing sun and the Blood Sun shone in concert, simultaneously unleashing powerful energy beams towards the target.
Accompanied by two tense whooshing sounds, the light of the Blood Sun and the light of the blazing sun shot towards Puppet Life one after another.
"Awooo!"
The three giant wolves, under Little Red Riding Hood's command, also howled, creating a mental deterrent that caused Puppet Life's thoughts to slow down to a certain extent, preventing it from quickly defending or dodging.
The Blood Sun struck first, and the black mist on Puppet Life's body continuously fluctuated violently, even faintly emitting a mournful wail as if on the verge of breaking, but under its control, it barely managed to hold on.
But as the light of the blazing sun invaded, the two incompatible energies instantly erupted within its body, like a C4 explosive detonating inside Puppet Life, tearing it apart and scattering black mist everywhere.
When the Blood Sun and the blazing sun fought within Mu Yang's body before, they were actually holding back, as his talent made the two suns feel very close to him; otherwise, he would have long since turned into a human bomb and exploded.
The black mist that formed Puppet Life was shattered by the explosion. A normal creature would have been dead beyond dead by this point, but it did not perish, because Mu Yang did not receive a kill notification from the Paradise.
"I... this is all... for your own good!"
"You have been affected by the skill 'I'm Doing This All For Your Own Good'. Judging... Judgment passed. 10% of current health and stamina deducted."
A furious, gender-indistinguishable scream echoed through the forest. Any creature, intelligent or not, that heard this sound felt a sense of utter malaise.
This was simply because the sound was too sharp and piercing, like the hysterical madness of someone who had fallen to the bottom but still wanted to fight back.
A face with blurred features formed in the sky above the forest, obscuring the blue sky, just as they had once completely extinguished children's futures and freedom in darkness.
In the eyes of different people, this face had a different appearance, stemming from their deepest fears.
But in Mu Yang's eyes, this face remained blurred, either because his Intelligence and Soul Strength attributes were too high, rendering it ineffective against him, or because he had no relatives, leaving him without weaknesses or flaws.
The black mist seemed to have learned its lesson, as this time it gathered at an extremely fast speed. The giant wolves only managed to devour a small portion, and the effect of the Blood Flame was also somewhat unsatisfactory.
However, the black mist lost in the previous big explosion was more than just a little. Now, even if Puppet Life gathered all the black mist in the Fairy Tale Forest, its highest intelligence would not be able to break through 20 points.
The enemy was not bad, but unfortunately, it was completely countered by the Blood Sun.
Mu Yang looked calm and unconcerned. Even though the ugly face occupying the entire sky was indeed very oppressive, he acted as if he had never taken Puppet Life seriously.
This scene deeply pained Puppet Life's fragile heart. After all, if the people who formed it were strong enough internally, how could they so wantonly use and exploit the little power they gained from children?
Solar Power surged wildly within Mu Yang, continuously activating the power of the Blood Sun.
Energy erupted, and blood-red light spread across his body. At this moment, Mu Yang seemed to transform into a true Blood Sun, emitting a new light in this fairy tale twisted by black mist.
The sun is tolerant; even if you do not respect it, it will selflessly cast its light upon you.
And the Blood Sun is likewise; it will even share its power with the lives bathed in its light, and invite you into its embrace.
The black mist, illuminated by Mu Yang's blood-red light, suddenly wavered between Puppet Life and Mu Yang.
According to their "thoughts," they should have helped Puppet Life at this moment, but deep down, they felt that Mu Yang seemed a bit better.
Soon, the black mist was stained with blood, and a small portion of blood-colored emotional energy merged into the Blood Sun, making its size and light even greater.
However, under Mu Yang's control, the Blood Sun did not affect the creatures in the forest; otherwise, this place would have already become the domain of Blood Sun Adherents.
The Blood Sun collided with the black face, and the size of the black face was continuously compressed until it and the Blood Sun each occupied half of the sky.
Its blurred features revealed a look of unwillingness. It didn't understand why it would lose, when its power was clearly far superior to the enemy's at first!
Looking at that act like a buffoon black face, Mu Yang felt that this battle, which was akin to a farce, should end.
He slightly curled the five fingers of his right hand, and the vast Blood Sun energy behind him surged, rapidly converging towards his palm.
"Remember this,"
The Blood Sun energy in his palm continuously grew stronger, and the Blood Sun itself became smaller.
Puppet Life, seeing the unfavorable situation, went mad, trying to stop Mu Yang's actions regardless of the cost. Black mist permeated, as if this space was experiencing an apocalyptic catastrophe.
"This is a fairy tale,"
The massive Blood Sun disappeared into the sky, but the ferocious aura emanating from Mu Yang's palm made all life in this forest submit to him.
Puppet Life was still struggling desperately, but it was helpless.
"And here, there is no oppression."
After speaking, Mu Yang clenched the five fingers of his right hand, as if grasping the pulse of life itself. Time seemed to pause at that moment.
Then, a violent blood-red fluctuation bloomed from his hand outwards, like a blooming Lycoris radiata, beautiful yet filled with death.
Puppet Life, terrified by this horrifying fluctuation, spontaneously split apart, fleeing grandly with its back to the sun, moving so fast that it only left a streak in the naked eye.
But it still couldn't escape, ultimately dissolving under the blood-red fluctuation.
