Now that things have come to this point, there's nothing left to say between the two sides. Pei Yan could clearly feel how powerful the energy centering on Raphael and gathering in front of him was; even if he were to take a hit directly, he wouldn't survive without at least half his life being lost here. Despite knowing the urgency of the situation, he was helpless, as he was firmly pinned in place, unable to move, and even unable to use the powers stored in his left eye by Jiumu to escape.

The current situation indeed left Pei Yan somewhat astonished. He couldn't help but feel grateful for having prepared a trump card before coming. Thinking about this, he looked up at Raphael in the sky, his lips curling into a mocking smile as he slowly closed his eyes.

Raphael, who thought he had a winning hand, was feeling annoyed and angry over his failed scheme. However, when he saw the smile at the corner of Pei Yan's mouth, who was trapped in place, an inexplicable sense of crisis crept into his heart. He couldn't understand what countermeasure the opponent could have in the current situation.

At this moment, nine huge screens of light suddenly appeared around Raphael's array, completely surrounding him and his subordinates. Sensing something amiss, he hurriedly shouted, "Defense formation!"

But before his men could react, nine huge beams shot out from the light screens, the blinding light enshrouding the sky above the sanctuary. Many spectators below the sanctuary couldn't avoid the blinding light in time, letting out miserable screams as their eyes were blinded. Simultaneously, Pei Yan felt a sudden lightness around him. A dark shadow detached itself as it disappeared under the strong light with the shadow it controlled, leaving Pei Yan quickly without looking back to fire an electromagnetic cannon, watching a deep crater explode on the ground and a shadow still escaping far beyond his sight, Pei Yan couldn't help but murmur, "It sure ran fast!"

It seems that it was this dark shadow that controlled his own shadow, rendering his body immobile. He was merely trying out of a sense of caution and was surprised it actually worked. Seeing the mysterious figure retreat in vain, Pei Yan felt slightly regretful and retracted his gaze, turning his attention to the damage his new weapon had caused in the sky.

This was also one of his trump cards coming to the Hell Plane. I have to say, Ye Jiumu gave him a good ability. Previously, Pei Yan's most powerful attack method, the full-power electromagnetic cannon, required deploying multiple mechanical puppets in advance to complete assembly at critical moments, losing the element of surprise in attack.

Ever since acquiring Ye Jiumu's ability, he now possessed twelve pre-prepared photo spaces; in nine of these spaces, he pre-installed full-power electromagnetic cannons capable of multiple shots, reserving the remaining three spaces for transferring attack damage. With these electromagnetic cannons installed in the nine spaces, he could, at any time and place, engage the photo space to launch an electromagnetic cannon attack by just stimulating his ability with a thought.

"Oh, can it only attack once before the material is scrapped?" Feeling the information from one of the spaces, Pei Yan sighed disappointedly. For this trip to the sanctuary, Pei Yan had especially stayed within the Red Catastrophe for three days, using fake images to hide his whereabouts, secretly conducting plasma weapon tests in remote wilderness areas, making significant advancements through multiple experiments.

Not only did he develop various plasma weapons in a boundary-breaking state, but he also produced this super powerful weapon Engineer Li had longed for, the full-power plasma cannon, according to blueprints. Unfortunately, despite using his ability to bridge the gap in materials science and key technological issues, with his current ability, he could only make one cannon and it would disassemble after a single release. Still, he specially swapped one of the spaces' electromagnetic cannons for this new-type plasma cannon.

And it delivered impressive damage results in its first battle, aside from being able to release only once and then being scrapped, leaving Pei Yan extremely satisfied with the rest of its effects.

Suspended in front of him were over three hundred people, with barely less than twenty unharmed, save for Raphael who had already withdrawn from the combat area early on, leaving the rest wounded and in a sorry state.

Having quickly regained vision after the initial blindness, Sifuer looked up in horror at the sky – is this the power of technology? Has the Foundation Plane grown this powerful? Such mighty power! Such terrifying attack methods! No previous signs of energy activation, activated in an instant, leaving no room for escape.

Thinking this, she looked to the other side at Pei Yan standing in mid-air. It seems she was completely wrong. Initially, she only regarded him as an ordinary scout from the Foundation Plane, with abilities sufficient for moving freely within the Red Catastrophe yet no threat. Since Raphael had an eye on his steel puppet, she was happy to let the tigers fight. She didn't expect Pei Yan to defeat Raphael, but everything now showed she was mistaken, he must be one of the top powerhouses of the Foundation Plane, indeed it must be so! With such major changes on the Hell Plane, how could they send a small fry for reconnaissance? She had been deceived by his previous disguise!

Inside the venue, others shared similar thoughts with the thoroughly terrified Raphael, as opposed to Sifuer's observer position, he was more directly aware of how terrifying the recent attack was, certainly not something a nobody could unleash, an attack comparable to those by demon gods within the clan.

He only hated that Pei Yan, possessing such power, still pretended to be in a hard fight on the battlefield! If he had seen this scene earlier, he wouldn't have coveted the opponent's puppet. This was a trap aimed at him! A trap? Indeed, a trap! Suddenly realizing everything, he looked at Sifuer on the ground, suddenly understanding. Everything, all along, Pei Yan intentionally concealed his strength, knew his information inside out, and the attitude of Sifuer's group – they had colluded! This was all a trap set for him!

"Mr. Shitang, such skillful means! Miss Sifuer, what did she offer you? To have such a formidable one as you lowering yourself to act and scheme against me! Precious materials? Intelligence? Her body?"

"Ah?" Looking at the hysterical Raphael, Pei Yan looked baffled; he genuinely didn't know that while he was reveling in the plasma cannon's power, the opponent had already concocted a hundred little stories in his mind involving him and Sifuer, which had to be said.

"Hmph, Mr. Shitang! No need to continue performing, I admit defeat, let me and my people leave alive, I'm willing to surrender this sanctuary, you've won!" Raphael said with a wry smile, shaking his head in resentment but helpless.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I have no intention of letting you and your people leave here alive!"
