Chapter 376 Indeed, the weakness was too obvious!
During the time it took for Zoey to arrive, William had already roughly understood the extent of the maximum damage this fierce creature could inflict.
Therefore, when they started fighting, he could perfectly control the level of damage.
Zoey's fighting style was almost entirely based on instinct. If there were any systematic techniques she used, it was probably William's Cosmic Palm.
Right after the phone call, Zoey directly descended with a Cosmic Palm from above.
He remembered that back at Ravenwood, this move of hers required charging and left her completely exhausted after execution.
Today, although her Cosmic Palm was less powerful than the one at Ravenwood, its speed had increased tremendously.
Sitting in front of the computer, William executed a series of maneuvers. The creature with giant wings glided through the air in a beautiful trajectory, perfectly dodging Zoey's strike.
By this time, many Soulmancers were watching from a distance.
The 13th Bureau had informed the major Guilds about their high-tech development.
The Soulmancers had already witnessed the behavior of these fierce creatures under the control of the 13th Bureau.
How to put it?
They had some combat effectiveness, mainly due to the astonishing defensive strength of the creatures' corpses.
Mid-level Soulmancer elites indeed couldn't harm these creature corpses, but if they chose to avoid combat, then the creatures controlled by the 13th Bureau were also helpless.
After all, the difficulty of operation was high, making the creatures' movements seem clumsy.
Another point was that it was all physical attacks. Even though Sneaky's operations were so fluid and his hand speed was at its peak, he couldn't trigger more powerful attack methods.
But today was different!
When William was testing earlier, he directly made the creature breathe fire.
That fire burned up half the sky, changing the significance entirely.
It meant that the 13th Bureau could now control the creatures to use magical and special abilities.
Zoey's battle with the creature controlled by William seemed more like a military exercise to the members of the Guilds.
It served as a form of deterrence.
The battle had already begun, with William's hand speed blazingly fast, dodging attack after attack, his agility leaving onlookers agape.
The Soulmancers watching were dumbfounded.
When had these fierce creatures become so fast?
If every one of these creatures was this monstrous, how could they, the Soulmancers, continue to compete?
The creature controlled by William carved trails of afterimages in the sky, moving so swiftly that even Zoey was struggling to keep up.
"William, you're too strong," people from the 13th Bureau said as they watched beside him. They had never seen such operation before.
On the computer screen, the movements were almost too fast to see, but William continued furiously tapping the keyboard.
"Can all these actions be operated and used?"
They saw William's fingers moving like shadows, hitting 104 keys, each press effective. What about twelve keys per second?
William showed them a hundred keys per second.
Remember, each key on the keyboard was connected to a neuron in the creature. If there was an error in operation, the creature might perform some ridiculous actions.
Yet under William's control, the creature's movements were fluid like drifting clouds and flowing water. Zoey, powerful as she was, was already feeling disoriented just with William dodging.
Zoey was also equipped with a camera, and the 13th Bureau staff watched William's controlled creature through the camera on her.
"The speed has surpassed ten times the speed of sound!"
"With such speed, it's no less than any mid-level Soulmancer. Plus, with the creature's claws and venom, it can totally kill a mid-level Soulmancer."
Zoey also drew her own alloy combat knife.
This knife, designed by Jhin, was tough and capable of breaking magic. Moreover, it carried a voltage of 100,000 volts.
Zoey drew her alloy combat knife, holding it behind her in the darkness, resembling a figure holding lightning. At the same time, her gaze became serious, and she coldly said, "William! Get serious!"
The chip installed in the creature, in addition to controlling its neurons, also received audio, video, and had location tracking functions.
Zoey's words were transmitted to William through the headphones on his desk.
"Not serious enough?" William smiled slightly, put on the headphones, and said with a laugh, "Then let's seriously have some fun."
William still hadn't triggered the creature's special abilities, relying solely on speed to charge at Zoey.
The creature's claws, over five feet long, were even longer than Zoey's combat knife.
As it dived down, the creature aimed a claw at Zoey's head.
The staff of the 13th Bureau watched as if viewing a live game broadcast, with views from both sides visible on the big screen.
William's claw strike carried a ferocious wind and a chilling intent to kill.
"You're not really trying to kill Director Wenzel, are you?" one of the 13th Bureau's staff nervously wondered, considering the creature's attack under William's control was excessively fierce.
William didn't respond, and the next moment, the computer screen went black, and William lost control of the creature through the keyboard.
In that instant, Zoey not only dodged the attack but also managed to plunge her knife into the creature's left eye.
The chip was implanted in the eye, and Zoey, being the Director of the 13th Bureau, was well aware of this.
Her precise strike hit the chip, and the huge electric current instantly destroyed it, creating a counter-kill situation.
William removed his headphones and couldn't help but laugh.
A creature controlled by a small chip still had its weaknesses.
Zoey was strong in her own right, especially with her Warrior God Constitution. Knowing the enemy's weakness, it wasn't surprising that she could counter-kill like this.
"Zoey! Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive that chip is? Why did you destroy it?" Jhin was furiously ranting nearby.
It was one thing to experiment, but like Zoey?
Destroying the chip outright!
She knew the control of the creature relied entirely on the chip, and not only was it costly, it was also difficult to make.
With scarce materials, it was impossible to mass-produce. The 13th Bureau had spent over 2 billion dollars and Jhin had several sleepless nights just to produce ten chips.
And now, Zoey destroyed one with a single strike.
Moreover, with so many Soulmancers watching nearby, wasn't this exposing their own weakness to others?
The creature's skin was tough, and for now, the chip could only be implanted in the eye. Zoey's strike had exposed this vulnerability.
Jhin was beside himself with frustration. How could there be such a foolish woman?
Zoey's voice came through, "A weakness is a weakness! If it's weak, then improve it! Even if I didn't strike, others would have found it."
With these words, Jhin suddenly calmed down.
Indeed, the weakness was too obvious!
Unless he could implant the chip in a less vulnerable part of the creature, this fatal weakness would eventually be discovered by the Soulmancers. Then, even if the 13th Bureau's people had William's level of operation, the controlled creatures would just be useless junk.
