#506 - The Ziska conspiracy

If, initially, when both sides were using the same abilities, Zs'skayr was completely overwhelming Yang Le, making his effortless performance understandable, Yang Le could accept it. But now that Yang Le has strengthened himself, Zs'skayr's continued confidence baffled Yang Le.

Despite the doubts in his heart, this didn't stop Yang Le's actions. It seemed that Zs'skayr was one of the masterminds behind this, and resolving him, if not solving the entire matter, would at least allow them to move to the next step.

Without hesitation, Yang Le stretched out his right hand. The originally sharp claws began to extend continuously, drawing strange arcs in the air. The claws, once as hard as metal, now looked like venomous snakes.

Zs'skayr narrowed his single eye slightly and raised both hands, which once again lit up with purple energy. Yang Le immediately felt his right hand lose control, flailing wildly in the air, no longer aiming at the original target.

Facing Zs'skayr's use of telekinesis, Yang Le was unwilling to be outdone. The fused hero he was currently using was an expert in mental power.

The same purple light shone in Yang Le's single eye, and a tidal wave of telekinetic power pressed towards Zs'skayr. In a vision imperceptible to normal people, Yang Le's immense telekinesis directly snapped Zs'skayr's telekinetic power, which was about the thickness of a human arm.

Zs'skayr, a guy who always considered himself superior, despised this kind of brute-force operation, but it was also the simplest and most effective method. His proud, precise manipulation was insignificant in the face of overwhelming power.

If it were Zs'skayr in the past, he would have cursed out loud if someone made such a move, but he didn't do so this time. Instead, he rotated his skull. Yang Le, also an Ectonurite, could tell that he was excited.

"This is fantastic! You've actually enhanced the Omnitrix to this extent, pushing it further towards becoming a weapon. Azmuth would never have imagined that the machine he created for peace would become such a powerful weapon. In this regard, you can be called a genius!"

These words made Yang Le feel a tinge of shame. Neither Ultimate Evolution nor Fusion Evolution were his own ideas. One came from Albedo, and the other from Ben's idea. He was just picking up where others left off.

Ignoring things unrelated to the battle, Yang Le once again urged that astonishing mental energy. If ordinary mental power users wielded swords, Yang Le's was like a tsunami, overwhelming everything.

"Astonishing." Zs'skayr didn't show any panic or fear, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing this, Yang Le, who had thought he was certain of victory, felt a pang of alarm and secretly thought something was wrong.

Faced with the overwhelming mental energy, Zs'skayr simply raised his right hand and waved it casually, and Yang Le's mighty attack disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the shocked Yang Le, Zs'skayr revealed a smug smile, his exposed teeth clattering together, and said in a mocking tone.

"You seem very surprised. How could Zs'skayr's insignificant energy compare to you, who possesses the Omnitrix?"

Zs'skayr spread his hands. The originally dark inner world had undergone some changes. Even without using his eyes, Yang Le could feel something stirring in the darkness.

"That's why I said, your use of my power is too superficial. Who do you think you're inside of?"

"Mine!" Zs'skayr's body became gigantic, and his single eye alone was larger than Yang Le's entire body. Zs'skayr used this eye to stare intently at Yang Le.

"I erased that poor wretch's soul and occupied this body. Now, I am the master here."

This was indeed beyond Yang Le's expectations. The Ectonurites that appeared in the original work had never demonstrated similar abilities, so Yang Le naturally had no defense against this.

But, that's not right, is it? If the owner of the body has absolute control over their inner world, then why is it so easy for Ectonurites to possess others? In the original work, only a few people could break free from possession?

"You seem very puzzled?" Zs'skayr grinned, mocking Yang Le. As a psychopath, one of Zs'skayr's favorite things was to torment those he was somewhat interested in.

Just like a cat doesn't necessarily have to eat a mouse, Zs'skayr also liked to slowlyying with his prey, enjoying watching the prey's mental breakdown step by step, making the sounds he liked most, desperate wails. Ben had been treated like this by him before.

"Don't you know a lot of things?" Zs'skayr spread his hands. "Where's your arrogant attitude? I was about to throw up from seeing it in the Omnitrix. Is it possible that fear has affected your judgment?"

"Have you forgotten whose body you're in?"

These words awakened Yang Le from his dream, and he suddenly realized that he was in Sentry's body. Sentry's 'I'm just saying' power could naturally affect his own mind. The Void was created in this way.

And Zs'skayr, who took over Sentry's body, naturally received all of Sentry's power. No wonder he could directly erase Yang Le's mental energy.

The current Zs'skayr was like he pulled out a Field Spell Card. Yang Le, who couldn't negate the Field Spell Card, could only grit his teeth and fight hard. Anyone who has played card games knows what it's like to play cards on the opponent's field.

Then the new question arises, since Zs'skayr knew Sentry's true abilities, completely receiving Sentry's body, why did he turn into a gamma-powered monster and organize a giant riot?

Logically speaking, he should have already used Sentry's 'I'm just saying' power to complete his evil little plans, right?

Yang Le felt that even a super brain might not be able to figure out this question, so he directly asked it, hoping that Zs'skayr would maintain a standard children's cartoon villain mode and reveal his entire plan.

Whether Zs'skayr hadn't really come out of the children's cartoon villain mode, or he felt that he had the victory in his grasp, so in order to satisfy some of his curiosity, Zs'skayr really talked to Yang Le about his conspiracy.

"I have to admit, Yang Le," Zs'skayr wanted to poke Yang Le with his huge sharp claws, but the latter dodged it. Zs'skayr, who didn't succeed, wasn't annoyed, just continued to narrate.

"You, who possess the Omnitrix and two evolution modes, are very powerful. I definitely wouldn't be your opponent alone, so after leaving the Omnitrix, I didn't rush to show myself, but hid, wanting to gather a group of subordinates and have a final battle with you."
