"Good! At least some people know when to be sensible!"
Seeing An Ruo's submissive stance, Lin Ran nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to Kannai Gūji and De Nu.
These two had initially intended to make a last stand, but they hadn't expected An Ruo to be so shameless and surrender so readily.
Left isolated and without aid, they naturally lost the will to resist.
Not to mention that the current rebel, Kel'Thuzad, was still hanging from those chains! They simply couldn't withstand such a fate…
Therefore, agreeing to Lin Ran's humiliating terms was a foregone conclusion.
Lin Ran's earlier display of power was simply too overwhelming!
"No objections! We have no objections either!"
"Whatever duties you want us to perform, just say it!"
After exchanging a helpless glance, both of them were forced to yield.
This situation truly made De Nu feel utterly stifled.
It was obvious that Lin Ran was orchestrating this whole affair with the intention of taking them hostage.
He had risked his life to learn the identity of Kannai Gūji, and had managed to survive the starfall along with Kannai Gūji…
But now, he had been completely outmaneuvered by Lin Ran!
Not only had Lin Ran taken Kannai Gūji, but he hadn't let De Nu go either.
The group, who had been fighting each other fiercely moments ago, had now all become Lin Ran's prisoners…
What a twist of fate!
"Alright! Since everyone has no objections, I'll start laying out the plan!"
Lin Ran, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased, clapping his hands excitedly to draw their attention.
"First, you four heroes of the alien races…"
"I require your souls to serve as the medium for opening the portal to another world, so I hope you won't struggle too much when it's time."
"Otherwise, if you hurt yourselves, you'll only be the ones to suffer."
"Kannai Gūji, you will simply be sealed and restrained. I will extract the soul of your master hidden within the jade pendant. As for your physical body, it will likely be used as a bargaining chip."
"Once the transaction is complete, whether you live or die will be of no concern to me."
"As for you, De Nu, I still need you to act as a guide for the Holy Light Church… After all, how could I not eradicate such an evil cult as this on Planet Blue?"
What?!
Every single one of the six people was utterly dumbfounded after hearing Lin Ran's conditions.
What Lin Ran proposed was far more than just taking their lives; it was an act of soul destruction!
If they couldn't accept these terms, then there was nothing they could accept!
Thus, even An Ruo, who was the most patient, leaped forward with indignation.
"Do you really think we would agree to the conditions you've presented?! You're not taking us seriously at all!"
"Faced with something we absolutely cannot accept, we'd rather die fighting!"
"Even though our combat power is weakened now, if we fight to the death, we can still leave a few marks on you!"
Lin Ran burst into laughter.
"Uh… I think you've misunderstood something!"
"I wasn't discussing this with you. I was merely informing you."
"Treating you like people? You should use your own heads and think, are you even worthy of that…"
"And whether you agree or not, what does it matter to me?"
"Now, it's time for you to experience my true strength!"
As he spoke, Lin Ran took a step forward, condensing his demonic power into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his pupils.
As the tomoe within the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan slowly rotated, a massive genjutsu formation spread out from beneath Lin Ran's feet.
Whoosh!
This colossal genjutsu formation enveloped all six people, including Kannai Gūji and De Nu, and rudely and directly seeped into their consciousness.
Buzz!
These individuals clearly felt as if their heads had been heavily bludgeoned, followed by boundless pain and terror spreading within their hearts.
This agony wasn't solely from their minds; it even extended to their physical bodies, bringing them even more extreme suffering.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
All six cried out in excruciating pain.
Especially the four heroes of the alien races, whose wills were already weaker, their faces contorted terribly, appearing as if they were in unbearable agony.
And amidst this boundless torment, their gazes towards Lin Ran became increasingly hazy, like a small boat about to sink but not yet submerged, desperately struggling at the very edge.
Seeing the evident effect of his technique, Lin Ran nodded with satisfaction.
This genjutsu had an extraordinary origin in his hands, combining the Tsukuyomi of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with the R-
And in Lin Ran's possession, due to its supreme quality, it not only produced far greater effects than its original counterparts, boasting unmatched penetration, but even the mental energy required was minuscule.
This resulted in the six individuals, who had never experienced anything like it, suffering a devastating blow.
They had absolutely no idea that their usual methods of resisting mental invasion were so powerless and fragile against Lin Ran's onslaught…
Thus, it didn't take Lin Ran long to completely gain control over their consciousness.
"I've named this self-created technique – the Heavenly Magic Array!"
"After all, this array's main purpose is to be irresistible and inflict torment…"
"Now, having tasted the Heavenly Magic Array, your minds are completely broken, your consciousness no longer belongs to you…"
"Do you truly still wish to oppose my will?"
Lin Ran walked up to the six people with a smile, gently tapping the ground with his toe.
