Concurrently with the system notification, the God of Puppets’ outer appearance started evolving. Seconds later, the God of Puppets completed its transformation.
While the figure of the level 2 combat mode God of Puppets wasn’t too different from before, its appearance changed pretty drastically. The impractical wings behind his back had shrunk to half its previous size and at the same time, two more arms grew from under his ribs. One of the hands held onto a white halo while the other held onto a white belt, looking extremely impressive.

Background Description: God of Puppets, Webster, possesses five combat modes. Every upgrade to the next mode would mean a breakthrough in his combat ability. As God’s spokesperson, Webster will not slaughter the commoners but will definitely not pardon sinners who slaughter commoners.
“Tsk! How shameless!” Looking at the background description of the God of Puppets, Wang Yu couldn’t help but comment.
The God of Puppets’ act of turning every NPC in the city into puppets was not considered slaughtering the commoners. However, once a player killed one NPC, it was akin to slaughtering the commoners and sentenced to cleanse.
When a God decides to be despicable, it is truly worse than what mortals can be.
“Speaking of which, why does this fella look so familiar now?”
Wang Yu couldn’t help but feel slightly taken aback when his eyes fell on the God of Puppets’ hands where he was holding a halo and white belt.
This God of Puppets was actually holding a spear, sword, halo and rope. Removing the two wings and adding two more arms. Wasn’t this the western version of Nezha? How despicable must a western game be to include this character?
“Mortal, your actions have violated the wishes of the God. You deserve to be punished!”
Before Wang Yu could regain his senses, God of Puppets shouted while swinging his additional arms. The white belt on his arm was shot towards Wang Yu like a rainbow.
“My brothers accidentally killed an NPC because they were defending themselves. Why do I deserve punishment just for that?”
Wang Yu grunted to himself before jumping out of the way of God of Puppets’ holy light. Seconds later, the holy light slashed through the rock where Wang Yu was previously at like a sharp blade. Simultaneously, the white halo descended from above as it looped over Wang Yu’s body.
“Boom!”
An explosion could be heard as Wang Yu, who was looped in the halo, exploded into pieces. His real body appeared just outside the halo.
“Aiya! Afterimage Explosion?” 9527, who was excited to see Wang Yu die, had his smiles turned into frowns when he saw how Wang Yu dodged the two long-ranged attacks of the God of Puppets.
Sacred Halo and Heavenly Light were the two long-ranged skills of the God of Puppets when it was in combat mode level 2. Because these two weapons were of the holy attributes, the trajectory speed of the attack was extremely fast. Who knew that even with the element of surprise, the attacks couldn’t even touch Wang Yu. Wasn’t this too ridiculous?
Of course, Wang Yu wasn’t having it as easy as it seemed.
“What a despicable fella!” After dodging the two attacks from God of Puppets, Wang Yu wiped off his sweat.
Wang Yu was certainly not expecting a Knight NPC to have such ruthless long-ranged attacks up his sleeves.
The attributes of the God of Puppets were unbelievable. When Wang Yu was only dealing with the God of Puppets’ close combat abilities, he was already finding it taxing. How was he supposed to deal with the addition of long-ranged attacks?
It wasn’t as though Wang Yu didn’t have any long-ranged skills. However, as a practitioner of martial arts, Wang Yu was already used to close combat and wasn’t an expert in that area. Moreover, God of Puppets’ long-ranged attacks was of a completely different level as compared to Wang Yu’s amateur ones.
Just as Wang Yu was stressing over this battle, God of Puppets’ lower arms started moving again. The Sacred Halo and Heavenly Light were sent flying towards Wang Yu yet again.
Wang Yu executed his Seven Star Steps and with the combination of several forward rolls, he managed to dodge the attacks again.
Looking at the screen, 9527’s jaws almost dropped to the ground. He was completely taken aback by how Wang Yu was successfully avoiding all the attacks with his swift movements.
“Are there really no abnormalities with this fella’s agility?” a suspicious 9527 questioned.
“No.” Little Zhang waved his hand, “Completely normal.”
“This is impossible. Given his current level, even if his attributes are fully added, it isn’t easy to dodge these two skills. Even so, he has dodged it four times.” 9527 shouted.
“Chief Hao, do you believe what they call ‘footwork’ in wuxia novel?” Little Zhang suddenly asked.
“You drank too much!” 9527 replied. What footwork? Might as well call it immortal technique!
Little Zhang pointed at the scrambling Wang Yu, “Even though I don’t know how he did it, every time he moves, his range of movement is extremely small. However, it is always just enough to dodge Webster’s attacks.”
“Small range of movements?” 9527 hurriedly paid close attention to Wang Yu’s legs. Indeed, Wang Yu’s range of movements was at most 20 and even smaller at times. Even with such small movements, he was still constantly able to avoid the attacks.
The system calculates a player’s agility according to the distance of a player’s stride. As a player becomes more agile, his single stride will be greater.
Any new players will usually have a range of 50 for their single stride. However, Wang Yu was currently moving in small strides of less than 20. As Wang Yu reduces the range of his movements, he simultaneously lowered the possibility of spending too much time due to large movements. This substantially increased his possibility of avoiding the attacks. This way, he was able to avoid the high-speed attacks even without a lot of agility.
9527’s calculation and judgement of a player’s speed and agility was the normal way to do so. Even so, Wang Yu’s ‘footwork’ completed disregarded the system’s computation of agility.
“This guy is way too scary!” 9527 was so startled that he started sweating profusely, “F*ck! Is he even human? Our system attributes cannot even restrain him.”
“Haha.” Little Zhang was enjoying the look of 9527 as he explained with a smile, “His small range side steps are enough to dodge the Heavenly Light. However, dodging the Sacred Halo is entirely dependent on his skills.”
Indeed, no matter how impressive Wang Yu’s ‘footwork’ was, it was meant to deal with single attacks with range smaller than 20. To deal with attacks with greater range, because of the system’s restrictions, Wang Yu had no choice but to execute his forward rolling skills.
Because of this, Wang Yu created the hilarious scene of him rolling and crawling around. Presently, 9527 couldn’t even appreciate this hilarious scene.
