Nakata shouted at Liu Yang:
"Damn it! Liu Yang! What exactly did you do to Captain Taozi? Captain Taozi would absolutely never betray us, never betray the empire, you must have used some kind of mental ability on her! That's why she became like this! You're really a despicable ability user!"
Before Liu Yang could speak, Taozi, who was lying on the ground, had already spoken. She cursed at Nakata: "Shut up! You trash! I don't allow you to speak like that about Master!"
"Captain Taozi, you...!?" Nakata, who was furious just moments ago, was scolded by Taozi and instantly lost his voice, opening his mouth but unable to speak.
He never expected that Captain Taozi would actually help that Dragon Empire person curse him!
This kind of humiliation and anger from being publicly insulted by his goddess churned and expanded in Nakata's heart, feeling like it was about to burst his heart.
Pain!
It was truly too painful!
Nakata felt that his life had lost all meaning, wishing he could die immediately right now.
Liu Yang, however, showed a smug expression. "See, you can't say I forced her this time, can you? How about you all follow your captain's example and just surrender to me."
Inoue spat and said: "Pah! My dad is a navy commander! If you don't let me go, you'll die sooner or later!"
"Is that so?" Liu Yang's expression turned cold.
Then he directly faced Inoue and slowly clenched his hand.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Following Liu Yang's hand movements, the ice encasing Inoue's body began to continuously and slowly contract, squeezing his body as if trying to crush it.
"Ahhh!" Inoue began to scream continuously, every cell in his entire body seeming about to be crushed and emitting unbearable pain.
His bones also began to slowly fracture and shatter, piercing into his muscles, and even directly tearing through his skin, exposed whitely inside the transparent ice.
However, as Liu Yang's hand continued to clench, even the hard bones began to shatter.
The intense pain made Inoue scream uncontrollably: "Ahhh! So painful! My body hurts! Help, Dad, help! I was wrong! Big brother, spare me! I'll do whatever you want... whatever you want me to do!"
But Liu Yang didn't stop his movements.
He forced his hand closed.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, the ice instantly shrank into a ball, and Inoue, encased within, was compressed into a puddle of bloody pulp.
Bones, muscles, hair, and skin all blended together into a single mass fused inside the ice.
Not only did he die without a whole corpse, but not even a single intact cell remained.
Liu Yang said indifferently: "Noisy. I hate people who love to yell the most."
The remaining three ability users nearby were left speechless.
Even Nakata, who had originally sought death wholeheartedly, shut his mouth tight.
They indeed weren't afraid of death, but they never expected Inoue would die so miserably!
Watching your own body be slowly crushed into a puddle of blood while fully conscious, with every single cell flattened-this was far more terrifying than lying in front of a steamroller.
They certainly didn't want to die like that!
"Oh? Now you know to be quiet? Good, then it's your turn next." Liu Yang stepped toward the three remaining survivors one by one.
The faces of those three immediately showed terrified expressions, trembling as they stammered: "Y-you... what do you want to do? Don't come over!"
Yet Liu Yang had already placed his fingers on their foreheads.
Soon, Soul Chain was successfully cast on all three of them as well.
Finally, the three men knelt on the ground before Liu Yang, calling out respectfully: "Master! Please give orders!"
Looking at these four Little Sun Empire ability users who had now become his dogs, Liu Yang felt quite satisfied.
Taozi could be used to expand his bloodline, while the other three male ability users would also have their uses.
Meanwhile, this entire scene had left Lin Dong and the others watching from the side completely dumbfounded.
Boss Liu Yang had actually subdued these powerful ability users in a single move?
They were even kneeling on the ground calling him master?
This was simply too overpowered!
One had to know that the Little Sun Empire was notorious for its brainwashing; their troops were some of the most fanatical and warped forces in existence, complete with infamous suicide squads.
Under such imperial indoctrination, they would gladly sacrifice their lives without a second thought for the empire's interests.
Ordinary citizens possessed such resolve, let alone ability users, whose willpower vastly surpassed that of ordinary people.
Yet now, these very people had surrendered to Liu Yang and become his dogs. How could that not be utterly unbelievable?
At this moment, Liu Yang turned to Lin Dong and said: "Gather everyone in the base! I have something to say."
"Yes, Boss Liu Yang!" Lin Dong immediately nodded in assent.
After witnessing Liu Yang effortlessly subdue these formidable Little Sun Empire ability users, Lin Dong and the others' admiration for him had reached absolute heights.
He was truly worthy of being number one in the heavens, the pride of the Dragon Empire. Such terrifying strength was simply unmatched.
In less than a day, he had already avenged the brothers who died in the base.
Following a boss like this truly gave people peace of mind.
Half an hour later, Lin Dong returned and reported: "Boss, everyone has been gathered. You can speak now."
Liu Yang nodded. "Good."
He then ordered the four Little Sun Empire ability users to crawl behind him as he walked out.
Outside, the remaining five hundred-plus residents of the base had already gathered in the central open area.
Although most of them were women, children, and the elderly, they had already heard from Lin Dong and the others that an immensely powerful expert had arrived to eliminate the invaders. Every single face was lit up with excitement.
When they saw Liu Yang walk out, an enthusiastic cheer erupted from the crowd.
Liu Yang raised a hand, signaling for silence.
The cheers cut off instantly, leaving the entire base so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Only then did Liu Yang speak: "I am Liu Yang! The ones crawling behind me on the ground are the Little Sun Empire ability users who invaded our Dragon Empire!
They are the ones who murdered the leadership of this base! Now, I have slain the chief culprits and completely subjugated their companions, turning them into my servants!"
"Long live Lord Liu Yang!"
"Long live Lord Liu Yang!"
"Liu Yang! Liu Yang! Liu Yang! Liu Yang!..."
Hearing these words, the crowd erupted as if a bomb had gone off. Everyone cheered uncontrollably, the sound deafening in its intensity.
They had long since heard that the base's leadership had been killed, throwing the entire settlement into panic and causing many to flee in search of new shelters.
Now that someone had stepped up to wipe out the invaders for them, they were naturally ecstatic.
Liu Yang raised his hand once more, and the crowd quieted down immediately.
"Therefore, starting today, I am the boss of this base! I will establish new rules, and I expect everyone to abide by them. Anyone who dares to break them will have only two choices: leave the base, or die!" Liu Yang continued.
"All hail Boss Liu Yang!"
"We will definitely follow the rules!"
"Whoever dares break the rules, we'll be the first to deal with them!"
The crowd cheered once more.
Who wouldn't want a powerhouse of this caliber as their base leader?
With such a formidable figure holding down the fort, who would ever dare invade them again?
Originally, the loss of four local ability users had plunged the entire base into unprecedented weakness, prompting a large number of able-bodied men to abandon the settlement.
Now, a savior had arrived to protect them, securing their futures.
Thus, not a single person raised an objection; everyone welcomed Liu Yang with open arms and boundless joy.
