Half a month after the war started in the Eastern Empire, one night, the imperial capital Nazca——
Coppelia's thinking returned to clarity.
"The time has come." In principle, her skills have not escaped the control of the empire, but the effectiveness of her own skills will not be weakened.
Even if she doesn't rely on outside help, she can adjust the size of her desires to which side she obeys to maintain her original thoughts.
Now she is part of the Imperial Mixed Legion.
As the main force of the empire, the mixed army is not very large, but its number is about 60,000. Among them are many people with various problems, including "visitors from other worlds". They are the most ideologically problematic army. The reason why the empire dares to maintain this army is because of these people
They are indeed capable enough to serve the empire, but on the other hand is the empire's confidence in its dominance.
In fact, there are many people who are disloyal to the empire and were thrown here after their minds were broken due to human body modification experiments. There are many people who summoned "visitors from another world" and controlled them with magic before being thrown here.
Coppelia was also one of the people who was thrown here after being dominated.
Although she does not have a high enough position, it is very simple for her skills to influence the people here without being noticed.
After all, even Ciel couldn't easily see the mental interference of [Greedy One], and his concealment became even better after evolving into his ultimate ability.
"There are currently 60,000 mixed corps in and around the imperial capital, 20,000 military police and other security-maintaining troops, and 100,000 ordinary troops. They are all my people. The remaining troops in the empire, including reserves, are less than 400,000 and are distributed throughout the empire.
The whole army is full of miscellaneous soldiers, and we still have to deal with our country's counterattack. This is the time to launch an attack to overthrow the empire." Coppelia thought to herself.
Although she is a puppet of Cronpis, she also has the identity of Clayman's subordinate and Marianne Bell's container.
In order to ensure that there is no sense of disobedience, Crownpis even expelled the original soul and restored a similar will. Coppelia can be as humble as Clayman's puppet, and she can be as humble as Marianne Bell.
At the same time, she has the temperament of a young queen and her greed, and it is easy to play different roles that match her appearance or identity.
Finding the imperial generals to pretend to be bribes to induce them to fight for the direction of the attack, and deliberately being dominated were all part of the plan.
However, Coppelia clearly felt that her power was rising, but she felt so sleepy.
But this was not the time to sleep. As a doll, she had to prepare one or two sets of doll self-discipline systems to prevent this situation. Although it was modified from a ready-made technique from Clayman, it was very easy to use.
She fell into a deep sleep, her self-discipline system activated and continued to follow her original thinking mode to gather like-minded colleagues to prepare for action.
However, when she was "in high spirits" and prepared to lead the troops with the generals who had always been dissatisfied with the empire and had already turned against them, she was surrounded by the Royal Guards Knights on the street. The energetic people immediately started a fight with the Guards Knights.
There was a melee.
The leader of the Royal Guards Knights is a black-haired man wearing military uniform, holding a sword in one hand and a bastard box in the other.
Coppelia stretched out her hand to hold the skill bullet he shot and confronted him personally.
The bullet just now reached dozens of times the speed of sound and contained the ultimate ability. It may have been the same [Domination Curse Bullet] as the one that assassinated him last time. Kondo's strength was not in the same dimension as the other members of the Knights Guards present.
Teammates can handle it.
Because Coppelia deliberately took a shot in order to penetrate the opponent's core and know its level, she could activate [Mammon, the King of Desire] to convert what she wanted into the necessary power to catch the bullet.
She greeted "cautiously": "Knight Commander Lieutenant Kondo, it's really not a happy thing to see you."
Kondo: "I didn't expect that there would be a flaw in my control over you. Although it was expected that you would rebel, starting a war in a place like this is really unavoidable. It was so smooth to control your dead master."
In other words, he was the one who controlled Clayman in the first place.
Coppelia "knows" that Kondo intends to provoke him. Fighting with anger is not only more likely to expose flaws, but also the power of mental interference may re-intervene if there are loopholes in the mental defense, at least enough to affect the outcome of the battle.
However, this was of no use to Coppelia, who was using her self-discipline system to act. Moreover, the rebellion had been planned for a long time. It would only be a matter of time before the fight here would become more prestige and turn into a city-wide riot.
She could feel part of Kondo's power to some extent. The others were competing with each other in a serious manner using various powerful martial arts and magic skills. She and Kondo were probably locked in a one-shot battle, which would end soon. She might not be able to win, and the other party would probably also be able to win.
I know, but since I haven't taken action directly, I just plan to continue to look for opportunities to control these people who are useful to the empire, so I can try to buy more time.
Kondo has the nickname "the weirdo who feeds on information", so he should be happy to have conversations in a battlefield where people are shouting to kill Zhentian, right?
However, what happened next was Kondo’s intelligence talk show. Kondo was fully aware of the changes and development of the puppet country over the past decades and the recent drastic changes, including the existence and cooperation status of Yuuki and the demon king Kasalim who had been tricked.
The public information is equivalent to the "Mediocre Clown" in the House of Everything, and the fact that Coppelia is Marianne Belle whose soul has been exiled, everything is clear!
Information should be used slowly by oneself. If he wants to reveal it in such an irritating way, it seems that Kondo really wants to create a psychological flaw.
Unfortunately, it is of no use to Coppelia, who can control her own desires, which means that the essence of the ultimate ability here has not been grasped.
Then let him do as he wishes.
"Where did you know this? Shut up!" Coppelia rushed towards Kondo angrily.
Kondo threw the gun into the air, held the knife in both hands, and launched a powerful martial skill: "[Heaven and Earth Thunder]!"
"Let death become something you long for!" Coppelia's forward palm entwined with the dark aura of [Shariel, Lord of Despair]'s derivative skill [Despair Wave].
Compared to simple and easy-to-understand powerful martial arts that want to cut her into pieces, the effect of her skills is more focused on invading the target's mind.
Expose the despair that should be in the subject's heart and magnify it infinitely.
It seems like something that can be easily accomplished with an illusion, but as an ultimate ability, coercion is quite terrifying. It does not create a terrifying illusion and despair for the subject, but opens and magnifies the psychological trauma like the release of a seal. However, in
Before that——
Coppelia's hands and feet were chopped off by a sword and turned into a living stick. But when Clayman first made the Butoh doll, he gave it the ability to be infinitely repaired if the soul is immortal.
Kondo's knife skills are superb, the cuts are clean and neat, the cut surface is smooth, the damage is minimal, and it only takes a moment for the severed limbs to be reattached.
