Chapter 1920: Chapter 597: It’s Better to Have Extra Insurance

"The officer actually chose self-destruction..."

"Hmm? But what’s going on? Why does it seem like the battle paused for a moment?"

On the ground, an officer wearing goggles questioned with confusion. He was certain that after the high-level Mage self-destructed, everyone on the battlefield seemed to pause for a moment in unison.

Although self-destruction is rare, especially among high-tiers, it’s not common enough to distract everyone in the middle of a battle.

He turned to look at Haier beside him, waiting for an explanation.

After chatting for so long, he realized that Haier seemed to have some internal information channels, even capable of obtaining first-hand news from Space.

"Because they saw an option, a choice they might very well use themselves."

Haier frowned slightly and responded slowly.

"A choice? Are they choosing self-destruction?

Even if they are at a disadvantage, after losing, it’s not certain they’ll be killed, right? If they self-destruct, they’ll definitely die..."

"Self-destruction is not the end for them..."

Haier shook his head and glanced at the officer.

"If you hadn’t been recruited by me, what would you have thought of first after being captured?"

"Without being recruited and captured alive, the only outcome would be to become a Blood Servant.

The existence of Blood Servants is no secret among our Faith Hunters. You’re saying they don’t want to become Blood Servants?

But at least they’d be alive, wouldn’t they? Even if one or two are fierce by nature, not everyone is like that."

This was already a fairly polite way of putting it.

To be more accurate, for those who became high-tier, apart from the diehard followers in the direct lineages of true civilizations, very few have the resolve for death.

They wouldn’t choose death because of defeat or restricted Freedom.

After all, part of the motivation to become Transcendent and reach high-tier is to attain a longer lifespan, to live more, and not to sacrifice themselves for civilization or pride.

"It seems you truly didn’t know. Among you Faith Hunters, has it never been suspected how your officers have walked out of history again?"

"Hmm? Isn’t it because..."

The officer suddenly paused, shaking his head, then continued nonchalantly:

"Wait a moment, you mean, those officers can be resurrected?"

This scene was noticed by Haier, without surprise.

The matter of Resurrection, among Faith Hunters, couldn’t possibly be completely secret. With enough exposure, members would naturally become suspicious.

To keep it secret, mental manipulation or Spiritual Suggestion is almost inevitable.

However, this kind of spiritual influence is something she personally can’t solve, and even without mentioning it, it would naturally be resolved when becoming one of us. She chose not to mention this but continued with the topic.

"That’s right, because there’s an opportunity for Resurrection, compared to being captured, self-destruction becomes an acceptable cost.

Our current mission is to investigate this matter.

But you don’t need to think about it. Not to mention the technology is likely available only to high-tiers; even if there were no restrictions, you wouldn’t be valuable enough, right?"

The officer was speechless. Indeed, even if such technology existed, it would not be available for him to use.

Still, knowing that there’s actually a "Resurrection" technology made the officer secretly astonished.

"If Resurrection truly exists, then self-destruction is indeed the correct choice to resist becoming a Blood Servant."

"So does that mean officers would likely choose to escape or directly self-destruct before impending defeat.

It makes it harder for you to capture them..."

"Our people have realized this point, but upon discovery, they probably already have a solution, right?"

Haier smiled confidently, and at this moment, the brief calm in Space due to "self-destruction" was disrupted.

The only witch who lost her opponent rejoined the battlefield after resting.

And her first target, naturally, was the Mechanical Master "Officer Hua," who had been toyed with just now.

As the Transcendent among the Three Great Civilizations with the most apparent disadvantage here, he was an easy target for Gaye to eliminate anytime.

Just now, because the prey was always available, Gaye was in a playful mood, but now that everyone knew of the self-destruction path, the situation was different!

There are still many ways to intercept direct escapes, but once self-destruction is triggered, they can’t be easily stopped!

At this point, conventional capture strategies are useless; once they realize there’s no escape, they will choose to "suicide back to the city," giving no time at all.

To capture them, it must be a kill shot, using various methods to forcefully control!

The witch took the lead and cast a Spirit Magic imbued with Telekinesis from the network.

Almost simultaneously, Gaye reached out towards the "Space Spindle" again, converting the concrete Power of Faith into control over Space, descending directly from High-dimensional onto "Officer Hua."

"Officer Hua" only felt as if the Space around him was crystallizing, firmly imprisoning him in place.

This was the inherent Divine Art named after the device itself, the "Space Spindle"!

"Not good! It’s a Space Divine Technique!"

The confinement from Space Divine Technique was only at the physical level, and since it wasn’t a special Divine Art performed by the Favored, with the priority from high-tier, he could still somewhat resist.

Not only was his mind not disconnected, but his body could also barely move, just as the Mechanical Army had been slowed by dozens of times just now.

In other words, he still had a chance for self-destruction!
