Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Despair Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Despair “No one can trap me. Disperse!”

The Gryphon Lord roared, and with a burst of golden light, the Combined Puppet dissolved again.

Li Yao had already stopped fighting upon seeing the golden light, and the Hydra ceased all its movements as well, its heads letting out sinister chuckles.

The audience was puzzled, not understanding why Li Yao had stopped attacking.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment. Thankfully, you didn’t disappoint me,” Li Yao said with a smile.

The Gryphon Lord suddenly felt a wave of panic but didn’t understand what was happening. He looked at the wings transforming into a Mechanical Gryphon below, and his face immediately paled.

Click, click, click…

Click, click, click…

Crash…

In front of the incredulous eyes of the Gryphon Lord and the audience, parts of the Combined Puppet that were transforming into the form of a Mechanical Beast seemed to get stuck. Along with bursts of sparks, all the parts scattered into a pile of components.

Boom…

The Gryphon Lord was also about to move onto the Mechanical Gryphon, but it had already fallen apart. Caught off guard, the Gryphon Lord crashed to the ground.

Toxic snow drifted down, greatly reducing the Gryphon Lord’s agility.

Ice Burst!

Pop, pop, pop, pop…

Sounds of burst came from within the Gryphon Lord’s body as blood-colored spikes emerged from his skin.

The Gryphon Lord let out a piercing scream, then enduring the pain of being impaled, glanced at the scattered parts on the ground, “Why? This is impossible. How did you do it?”

Li Yao walked over slowly and said indifferently, “Because you’re too weak.”

In the live stream, all the players were dumbfounded because, evidently, Li Yao had secured his victory. The silence in the live stream audience was profound, with not a single comment.

Tongtong, who was on her way, couldn’t believe what she said, “I’m, I’m rich.”

The guardian Angel exclaimed, “I really lost my mind, all for nothing.”

Knight of Fruit suddenly looked at him, and Angel knew he had spoken out of turn and quickly added, “Cough cough, my dear wife, don’t misunderstand, I’m talking about someone else, not me.”

“How much pocket money have you hidden, make up for it by tomorrow, or else…”

“…” Angel was speechless, lamenting over the hard-accumulated pocket money, “It was a momentary lapse, a sheer momentary lapse.”

Toto, with her head held high in triumph, snorted, “Humph, I told you not to disobey me. I knew big brother would win.”

“That’s not what you were saying earlier,” Angel, seeing Toto’s beaming smile, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

Knight of Fruit coldly snorted, “Even eyeing a child’s pocket money, are you still a man?”

“Exactly, that’s so tasteless. Fruit sister, cut down his monthly allowance from now on,” Toto said.

Knight of Fruit nodded gravely while Angel felt like crying but had no tears, damn it, what child’s pocket money? He had won enough betting money for ten years worth of expenses.

Everyone laughed uproariously, and at other places, naturally, there were those happy for Li Yao, who had backed him out of sympathy, and now each of them was pleasantly surprised. However, most people felt like crying without tears.

“Is this the mockery of a victor?” Gryphon Lord said with a woeful face, “You’ve won.”

“Do I need to mock a loser? I’m merely stating facts,” Li Yao saw his puzzled face. “Let me clarify why you lost. First, your control was too rough. With your Combined Puppet, you can defeat most enemies of the same rank, but most does not mean all. However, that’s not your fault, as a Hunter, it’s normal not to be skilled in melee combat.”

“However, since your Combined Puppet is form-biased towards melee, perhaps you wanted to compensate for your shortcomings in close combat, but if your puppets were all ranged, with a great bow, perhaps the effect would have been more astonishing. The second point is that your engineering skills are not refined enough. Although also a craftsman, the puppets you created had many detailed flaws which I won’t bother to explain one by one. Even if you had less flawed Combined Puppets, I was bound to die.”

Gryphon Lord was initially unconvinced, but after Li Yao’s explanation, his face cleared, “So that’s it, that’s it. Your attacks were targeted, focusing on the flaws you perceived. Every time you attacked, you controlled a part using your Hydra’s anti-control, coupled with abrupt changes in temperature. I thought your knife array was the killing move, forcing me to dismiss the puppets to escape, but it was the fierce accumulation of changes, your attacks on those flawed areas caused failure, leading to the collapse of all the puppets.”

“No, your knife array isn’t an ultimate technique. I was indeed tricked. If I hadn’t transformed, would I still have a chance?”

Li Yao nodded, “If you hadn’t transformed, you might have had a chance, but I also had my backup moves. In fact, the moment I targeted the flaws up close, you were destined to fail, not because of me, but because you gave me the opportunity.”

“Ha ha ha ha, laughable, oh how laughable. I thought having a Combined Puppet would make me a big shot in the Iron League, so I focused on expanding my forces and increasing my rank, yet I neglected the study of engineering. It turns out I lost myself. If I had remained passionate about engineering like before…” Gryphon Lord’s face was devoid of spirit, “I’ve lost, thoroughly convinced by my defeat. No wonder you could play tricks on me and Black Heart with just leader-level strength. If I guess correctly, you won’t let Black Heart go either.”

“That’s none of your concern now. Actually, I have little interest in killing you. If you hand over the matrix blueprints of Combined Puppet to me, I’ll let you go,” Li Yao said indifferently.

“You actually know about the existence of the matrix, but I won’t give it to you, even in death,” Gryphon Lord suddenly laughed, “Whether it’s the matrix or the city, they are mine, and no one else can take them away. Since I can’t possess them anymore, they’ll go down with me. Heh heh, your Legion has not yet taken down the Array, five more minutes, in five more minutes, the forbidden curse will activate. And you still have the nerve to look for the matrix, heh heh.”

Li Yao looked toward the distant battlefield, saying, “You must know some of the special species that do not evolve and grow by killing numerous enemies.”

“Of course, like my Iron League’s Bomber Legion, their growth is achieved by how many bases and buildings they blow up in the Dark Council. What, you have a Special Troops too?” Gryphon Lord seemed to understand Li Yao’s intent.

Li Yao nodded, “It’s unfortunate, I too have a Legion that requires special conditions for advancement. Actually, not killing you also serves as my thanks for giving me the opportunity to let this Task Force under my command grow. However, if you don’t hand over the matrix, I have no choice but to kill you…”
