The young man Lin Chen brought with him came specially to find out about Zhao Yao’s situation. It was impossible for them to simply turn back to Jianghai just because someone came up with some tricks to fend them off. That would have been equivalent to showing everyone that they were incompetent people.
Hence, he wanted to stop the other party from leaving. The least they could do was to find out whether that man was really Zhao Yao or not.
The young man and the hundreds of apostles under his lead emanated rays of brilliant light from their bodies, looking like miniature suns chasing after Zhao Yao.
The fog was torn apart and the waves started to rumble. Cyclones started forming from their bodies and spread out in all directions.
Lin Chen immediately covered his face with his arm as he felt the small ship rocking about in the turbulent waves, as if it would be overturned at any moment.
He stared at the scene before him in shock as he thought,
This is the ace apostles unit from the military. Are these apostles equipped with nuclear powers?

Nuclear power was originally a top military secret that was never allowed to be lent out to any apostle.
Ever since the various countries started to train and develop Natural Disaster apostles, these apostles became a part of the military. Within the country, superhuman apostles like Zhao Yao appeared as well, hence, the authorities decided to utilize some of the supercats that had been kept under strict protection after they had been captured.
The hundreds of apostles emanated rays of bright light like miniature suns. Gathered together, that terrifying force looked just like it was about to wipe out the whole world.

Such formidable powers…
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Each of them could be considered a mini nuclear weapon by themselves.

The young man led his men and walked up to Zhao Yao confidently. He believed that with such a great force, the real Zhao Yao would not be able to ignore their powers and treat them seriously.

Since you don’t want to leave, you will roll out of here.

The next moment, as the man’s voice rang out in a disjointed manner, a huge, invisible hand seemed to sweep across the air gently.
An apostle who was just radiating with brilliant rays of light immediately lost his glamour as he turned back into a normal person and dropped back down.
The hundreds of miniature suns in the sky seemed to have been blown out by the invisible huge hand. When Lin Chen put down his arm and looked back up to the battle scene, he only saw the hundreds of apostles collapsing on the ground, as if they had been knocked unconscious.
The fog slowly returned and enveloped all of them. The man who had spoken just now had disappeared, as if nothing ever happened.
However, Lin Chen understood that an earth-shattering battle had actually taken place. Although it happened in an instant, an apostle unit strong enough to conquer a small country had been easily defeated in an instant, with just a few words.

Is that Zhao Yao? Did he use the power of Time Freeze?
Lin Chen thought.
But after activating nuclear abilities, their bodies should have become extremely unstable bodies at high temperatures and high pressure. Normal attacks should have had no effect on them…

When the Sleep Induction ended after 20 seconds, Lin Chen realized that things were much more complicated than he could have imagined.
An apostle that had just passed out suddenly jumped up and stared in fear and started running out in all directions madly.

What’s going on?
Lin Chen was shocked. With his power of Time Acceleration, his body flashed a couple of times before he successfully caught the apostle that was madly trying to escape.

What happened to you guys?


Stop running around!


What are you all afraid of?

Lin Chen realized that no matter how many times he caught them, called them, and even attacked them, it had no effect in awakening them from their mad, irrational fear.
Lin Chen grabbed the elbow of the young man who led the team. The young man continued to convulse uncontrollably in his limbs as he struggled and flailed around madly. He even dislocated his shoulder and wailed as he ran away.
Lin Chen was utterly shocked and confused by the scene before him.
What exactly happened just now?

Just as Lin Chen thought they went mad, the 20 seconds of Fear Induction finally ended. One by one, the apostles finally broke free of the induced fear and stood on the spot. The trauma was still evident from the fear in their faces, and their eyelids continued to tremble involuntarily.
Lin Chen asked the young man in front of him,
What exactly is going on? What did you guys see? Why were you all so scared just now?


I… I don’t know,
the young man rubbed his head as irrationality flashed in his eyes.
Stop asking! I don’t know anything.

Lin Chen frowned. He felt that there was something wrong with the young man’s mental state.
In the midst of the fog, Zhao Yao, who had cast the illusion, walked past the apostles and observed their reactions to it.

Hmm, loss of rationality… Does that mean becoming more sensitive or more mentally unstable? Who knows what state they would become after they lose all rationality and become madmen.

At that moment, a shrilling scream was heard. Lin Chen turned towards the source of the sound and saw an apostle convulsing sporadically. The next thing he knew, the apostle opened his mouth and strands of cat fur grew out from within. In a flash, the cat fur had enveloped his body completely and his face turned into an opaque white.
The apostle that had turned into a white monster started attacking the people around him.

What is happening now?!
Lin Chen was aghast as he charged over in an instant. His shadow was like a bolt of lightning, instantly reaching the monster as he managed grab onto its arms. However, he immediately felt a huge force countering his power, a force that he was unable to suppress.
Lin Chen could only release his hold and strike again, raining numerous blows on the monster and blasting the monster away.
As the monster flew out, Zhao Yao followed right beside it as he twitched his ears to listen to the biological changes taking place in the monster’s body.

Its physical condition is actually just slightly over the maximum physical capabilities of a human, but it also has all sorts of immensely strong, unknown defensive powers that can resist various attacks. Interesting…

At that moment, a bestial roar was heard. Lin Chen turned and immediately frowned so hard his brows formed a straight line.
Pandemonium broke out across the whole beach as the apostles tried to find ways to suppress the attacks from the apostles who had turned into Faceless Monsters. They could not kill them as these monsters were their comrades after all, so the only thing they could do was to try to stop and defend themselves from their attacks as much as possible.
Looking at the chaos on the beach, Zhao Yao continued walking in the fog, observing the reactions of the apostles that had been attacked with Catherine’s abilities.

The rate of the targets turning into Faceless Monsters is around 10%. The detailed effects of the loss in rationality is not bad too. Their battle reaction and courage have been reduced as well.
Zhao Yao assessed the apostles quietly in his mind.
As for the percentage with Retarded Admiration…

Right when the Fear Induction ended, Zhao Yao could immediately sense the abnormalities in some of the apostles at the scene. He slowly walked over to the young man who had been leading the apostles and said something to his ear.
