From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 591 People who shouldn't be here
The melee in the zero-gravity environment reminded Amber of a difficult five-player dungeon in her previous life.

Also in an abandoned space facility, also facing enemies attacking from all directions, overhead and below, which seemed to be endless.

However, in that instance, there were five powerful and fearless players fighting together, but now there were only Amber and Salih. The latter seemed to have a higher psychic level, but her actual combat ability was not strong. At most, she was just a high-level "assistant".
Therefore, under the never-ending siege of the Foundation's puppet soldiers, Amber and Saleh gradually fell into a passive position - especially Amber, who also had to be wary of the mysterious psychic who lurked in the dark and might attack at any time.

A psychic with high psychic strength, rich combat experience, and the ability to use the forerunner psychic skills, in a complex combat environment, does not fight you head-on, but hides in the dark and patiently waits for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
To be honest, this was the scene that Amber was most reluctant to face. It was just like the fight against those "assassin" players in his previous life. He would rather that mysterious psychic rushed out with full firepower to "fight" him than to be as nervous as he is now.

Although the attacks of the Foundation's puppet soldiers were mindless, the weapons in their hands were powerful. When a group of fearless units attacked with electromagnetic rifles, charged particle cannons or individual missiles, the psychic shield held up by Saleh began to flicker under the crazy attacks of the puppets, like a candle in the wind, swaying.

Amber realized that if he continued like this, he would be exhausted to death by these puppets of the Foundation sooner or later. Even if his psychic energy reserves were sufficient after "taking medicine", the longer time passed, the higher the success rate of the lurking psychic's sneak attack would be.

"Salih, we can't keep wasting time like this. We have to find a way to regain the initiative! Protect yourself!"

Amber quickly informed Salih, then let out a loud shout, and all the spiritual energy in her body exploded like a volcano. In the zero-gravity environment, she rushed towards the group of puppets at an outrageous speed.

His figure was like a blue lightning in the dim research institute, shuttling back and forth among the puppet swarms at high speed. Every move he made was accompanied by powerful psychic power, and with either a fist or a palm, he would knock away the approaching puppets one after another - for psychics close to level six, in close combat, their bodies are the strongest weapons.

After being hit by him, the puppets flew around like rag dolls and hit the metal walls heavily, making a series of loud noises.

"Got it Amber, I'll create an opportunity for you!"

On the other side, Salih, who understood Amber's idea in seconds, closed her eyes. While two transparent psychics around her were shooting psychic rays at the puppet soldiers, she also mobilized her more powerful psychic perception ability.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, with a strange and bright light flashing in them, and she also firmly locked onto the location of the 'Puppeteer'.

The 'puppet master' who was commanding a steady stream of puppet soldiers to advance, attempting to drown Amber and Salih through this 'human wave tactic', suddenly felt an alarm bell ringing in his heart.

The next second, a powerful psychic wave started from Salih and swept towards the direction of the Puppet Master.

Wherever this wave went, space was slightly distorted, as if reality was being kneaded by a pair of invisible hands.

The puppets were also affected. Their movements became sluggish, as if they were stuck in a quagmire and had difficulty moving. In the end, they were fixed in place.

Psychic power can affect the material world. The most intuitive and simple point is the magic-like "telekinesis".

For low-level psychics, this is indeed a 'trick', or some kind of 'life hack'.

But when the strength of psychic power exceeds a certain threshold, this "trick" will also undergo a qualitative change.
Just like now, in Saleh's hands it becomes some kind of 'hard control' technique.

The Puppeteer felt Saleh's attack. He snorted coldly and increased his psychic control over the puppets. The flashes of blue psychic energy on the artificial nerve cords behind his head became more frequent.

Those puppets that were not controlled seemed to be injected with new vitality. They quickly bypassed Saleh's control range and pounced madly towards Amber and Saleh again.

At the same time, two puppets wearing power armor also rushed towards Saleh under the control of the "Puppet Master".

The large-caliber high-speed grenade launchers in their hands continuously sent high-explosive grenades to explode in front of Saleh, and the chainsaw swords held in the other hand also roared, just waiting to tear the target into pieces after getting close.

"Salih, be careful!"

Seeing this, Amber reminded loudly. He wanted to turn around to help Saleh, but was entangled by the puppeteer with another group of puppets.

'Old Frozen' Salih naturally sensed the approaching danger, but her eyes remained firm and calm. She quickly condensed a psychic sword and shield in front of her - this was the only thing she had learned since becoming a think tank deacon, and it was the basic stance from the ancient empire's sword and shield champion.

The one-handed sword and square shield constructed with psychic energy emitted a soft and tough blue light. When the power armored puppet rushed through the obstacles and approached Salih, the chainsaw sword and the sword and shield collided, making a harsh noise. The sound was like the scream of a devil, which was creepy.

The light of psychic energy flashed at the collision point, and Salih was knocked back violently by the powerful impact force. Her feet finally supported on the wall of the research institute and barely stopped her retreat, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, without any intention of retreating.

"Salih, hold on!"

Amber was enjoying killing the puppets. Just when he was about to take advantage of the hard control caused by Saleh and rush to the "puppet master" to perform a "capture the leader first" operation, he suddenly felt that dangerous and familiar breath.

It’s the mysterious psychic who has been hiding himself!
"Quick! Kill them now!"

The 'Puppeteer' naturally noticed the action of this 'friendly force' and immediately shouted excitedly in the communication channel, but the next second, the action of this mysterious psychic made him curse out loud.

This mysterious psychic, who got a storage box from somewhere, bypassed the battle area and left the psychic chaos zone caused by the bombardment of both sides. He planned to go into stealth again, seemingly not intending to join this melee.

"Why the fuck?!"

"The mission objective is the top priority, and the recovery of the mission objective must be ensured."

A piece of text message appeared on the puppeteer's tactical visor HUD, which made the puppeteer furious. He no longer cared about the other party's much higher status than his own, and roared:
"Are you going to let me die here so you can escape?"

"The mission takes precedence over everything else. The Lord will remember your sacrifice."

"grass!"

The Puppeteer was horrified when he saw his companions were about to abandon him and leave.

There was a hint of panic in his control, and the puppets' movements became uncoordinated, as if they were an army without a commander.

Being distracted in battle is a very dangerous thing. The extremely angry puppeteer obviously forgot this. When he was cursing at the mysterious psychic, Amber seized the opportunity. After breaking the torso of a combat puppet, Amber followed the "safe passage" that Saleh had controlled and rushed over at a speed that the distracted puppeteer had no time to react, and then suddenly released a powerful mental shock.

When the Puppet Master noticed the sudden attack, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late, so he could only bite the bullet, use his psychic shield to resist, and pray that his combat suit could hold out a little longer.

However, Amber's long-brewing psychic attack was too powerful, and the Puppet Master's shield began to crack the moment it came into contact, making a "cracking" sound like broken glass.

Just as the puppeteer's shield was about to break, he suddenly pulled out a disposable psychic energy amplification syringe from his arms, and without hesitation injected the liquid with a light blue glow into his body through the injection port on his combat uniform.

When the light blue liquid was injected into his body, it immediately produced a violent psychic reaction. The psychic power and physical strength of the "Puppet Master" increased dramatically in a flash. He broke free from Saleh's control formed by high-intensity psychic power, and turned to launch a fierce counterattack towards Amber.

He waved his hands, causing blue psychic ropes to appear out of thin air and shoot towards Amber.

These psychic ropes seemed to have life, twisting in the air like deadly poisonous snakes, trying to entangle Amber.

Amber dodged flexibly, but a few psychic ropes still brushed against his body, leaving burn marks on his psychic combat suit. Although the nano-repair material built into the suit began to repair the damage immediately, Amber also knew that the strength of his suit seemed not to be enough.

"This guy is more difficult than I thought."

"Amber, let me help you!"

When Saleh saw Amber in danger again, she ignored the fact that most of her spiritual energy had been consumed, and like a mermaid in the sea, she quickly passed through various obstacles in the zero-gravity environment and arrived at Amber's side - as for why most of her spiritual energy had been consumed, don't ask.

She and Amber stood back to back, and re-established a psychic shield between the two of them to fight against the attack of the Puppet Master together.

Seeing that the senior official of the Truth-Seeking Foundation was once again commanding these puppet soldiers, Saleh also released waves of psychic interference.

These interference waves spread in this enclosed space like layers of invisible ripples. The interference waves caused the puppeteer's psychic control to deviate, and even caused some puppet soldiers to start killing each other. The sound of metal collision and the screams of the puppets were intertwined, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

"No, if we continue fighting like this, we will be the only ones to be exhausted. This guy can also 'sacrifice' the puppets around him and replenish his spiritual energy with their bodies."

Amber thought of the last time she saw the Puppet Master, the other party used this trick of "Star Absorbing Technique", and spoke with lingering fear.

"Let's switch fire and attack another target. It looks like the guy controlling the puppet is covering his evacuation. And just now I saw that the psychic had a storage box in his hand."

"You mean they have already got what they need?" Saleh frowned in confusion, "How could it be so fast? Are they more familiar with this place than I am?"

"I don't care about that anymore. The more they want to cover up the psychic's escape with the box, the more we must not let them succeed. Only then will the initiative return to our hands."

Under the effect of the 'mental shackles', Amber and Salih exchanged opinions almost instantly.

"You are responsible for finding their weaknesses, and I will go up and drag him into hand-to-hand combat." Amber said through gritted teeth.

Saleh nodded. She knew she couldn't continue to be passive like this, so she decided to take a risk.

She concentrated all of her remaining spiritual energy into her eyes. The next moment, her eyes instantly turned into two dazzling sources of spiritual energy, able to penetrate all obstacles, as if two stars had descended from the universe.

Soon, through the layers of puppets and the debris floating around, Salih quickly found the exact location of the mysterious psychic who had returned into the shadows.

"Over there, Amber! The mystery man is in the three o'clock shadow!"

Salih shouted loudly, and without hesitation released her strongest psychic attack in that direction - a beam of extremely pure psychic energy.

This ray of light was like a sacred blue-white beam, shooting towards the location of the mysterious psychic with devastating force.

Wherever the blue-white beam of light passed, all obstacles and puppet soldiers were instantly pierced through, and space was slightly distorted by the burning, as if reality had been torn open.

The mysterious psychic who shielded himself with psychic power apparently sensed the approaching danger. After realizing that he could not avoid the attack, he was forced to hold up a psychic shield in front of him.

The next second, a thick blue-white beam of light hit him, and his psychic shield shattered in an instant. He groaned and was knocked backwards until he hit the metal wall in the distance heavily.

A huge dent was knocked into the wall made of an unknown alloy, and the surrounding metal structures also made painful "crunching" sounds due to the impact.

This mysterious high-level psychic felt an extremely dangerous aura approaching him before he even had time to free himself from the depression in the wall.

Amber followed almost at the same time as Salih's psychic beam hit the opponent, and a blue blade made of psychic energy also formed on her right hand with five fingers together.

The psychic who was 'embedded' in the wall only had time to raise his right hand to block in front of him, and then it was cut off by the blue blade in the blink of an eye.

The combat uniform covering the psychic's arms was burned by the psychic blade at the moment of the attack, and the broken limbs slowly floated away under the force.

At this moment, Amber subconsciously glanced at the severed limb, and the tattoo on it made his pupils tremble.

It was the image of a star dragon emitting electric currents.

There is only one kind of person in this world who is qualified to have this tattoo.

The Royal Silencer of the Star Dragon Empire.
