After watching the puppet end the fight that quickly, Max became disappointed; he was never able to see the capabilities of the puppet in a battle.
The only one he saw was when its hand that separated from its body. It shot out without any warning.
From the hand piercing through the water user’s chest, and the smooth penetration of it, Max could only imagine the force around it.
Even he wasn’t sure how he would defend against it. The only way he could think of was stopping time to move away and dodge it.
Though he also has the Reverse Time so he could heal himself fast enough to around one second before it happened when he was still unscathed.
However, it was too dangerous. Max wasn’t someone who would play with his life like that, so that was definitely out of the picture.
Now he was watching the puppet reach down to the water user’s chest. Max couldn’t see it clearly since some of the fallen debris blocked his vision.
He also couldn’t get nearer as the walls were broken down, and the light outside was shining in. No matter how dark his suit is, he will be exposed, and Max only planned to be a spectator today.
There was no point in trying to meaninglessly fight a puppet that might be a disposable one.
And since the fight ended fast, he wasn’t able to learn of anything. Max was still considering whether it’s only the controller’s skill that’s making the puppet lifelike or the puppet was a product of the skill.
Max tried to check it with the Weakness Reader, but it only told him that its weakness was its owner, which was quite useless.
Hearing a noise in front, Max focused his eyes to see the puppet holding a cube glowing in a blue hue as it secured the object in a small compartment on his chest.
“I finally got it!”
“How many have I got already?”
The puppet seemed to be laughing while its face wasn’t moving, which was a weird sight to look at.
“Where is my next destination?”
The puppet stopped moving like it’s puppeteer stopped controlling it when all of a sudden, the time stopped.
Max wanted to have a closer look at it, using one of his Time Stop to have some time to inspect the puppet.
Reaching the puppet, the first thing he did was to touch the skin on its arm, feeling it with his hands and comparing it with his.
Max became surprised when he confirmed that it doesn’t have any difference compared to the real one.
He tried pulling it to take a sample, but he was unsuccessful. It felt like he was pulling a piece of steel from a steel rod.
It was soft yet hard at the same time as if every part of the skin was connected as a whole, making it impossible to pull a part of it away.
Max couldn’t damage it at all. He wanted to try using a streak of his Purple Lightning to it but zipping it a little bit already showed some damage, melting a small area of the surface, so he chose to stop and restored it with his Reverse Time.
Having limited time to inspect the puppet, Max tried to store it inside his Inventory, but strangely it didn’t work!
Max thought it was only an object, but he might have been wrong about it. This finding made him extremely curious that he ultimately used his Purple Lightning to open it.
Melting the middle area of it from its head to between its legs, Max split it open, only to find another compartment around the chest area.
It was where he saw the glowing cube was placed. Max tried opening it with his Purple Lightning, but it was too secured only damaging the surface of it.
Max could have opened it if he had more time, but it would take him more than a few minutes to do so and even if he used his remaining Time Stop, thirty seconds wouldn’t be enough to break through it.
Now with his remaining seconds, Max used Reverse Time to restore the entire puppet back together.
Since he wasn’t able to store it in his Inventory, he would rather not expose himself to the puppet, removing any trace of damage he did to it.
His Time Stop didn’t get wasted since he learned quite a few things while destroying it.
Firstly, he might not pierce through it with sharp objects, but he could melt it with a hot weapon which was what his Purple Lightning was good at.
And secondly, it can’t be stored in the Inventory so there should be something magical affecting it that Max couldn’t understand or something about the skill he knows nothing about.
Finishing the restoration of it and getting it back to its previous position, Max went back to the shadow where he was hiding.
When the time resumed, the puppet stayed motionless until it spoke again, showing no signs of suspicion.
“So this is where I should go next?”
“My next destination is quite far. I suppose I would have to prepare for it first.”
In the next instant, the puppet disappeared like it was never there in the first place, confusing Max that after waiting for a few minutes, he threw a stone to the area where it was standing.
After multiple stones being thrown, Max confirmed that it wasn’t just invisible, it was gone, long gone.
…
Max was now on his way back, going down the building as he thought of what just occurred back there.
The puppet disappeared. Max guessed that it was recalled by the owner, instantly moving to its owner’s location.
That was arguably the best way to escape a dangerous situation and also the worst opponent to have since he would have no way to defeat it if it disappeared.
“The only way to win against it is to destroy it? No, even if it’s destroyed, the owner might still be able to recall it.”
“So the only way is to find the one controlling it, huh?”
“What a weird skill.”
Before going away from the area, Max collected the body of the skill user in his Inventory since he might have a use for it someday and the space inside it was infinite.
This time, the body smoothly went in, causing Max to think about the reason why the puppet didn’t go in his Inventory.
While Max was making his way back, walking on the desolate road, he suddenly heard the sounds of cars behind him.
When he looked back, two suspicious people got out of the cars and slowly walked towards him.
Max knew he was currently wearing black clothes and a mask on his face. There was no way two people would approach him just like that.
He backed off the same time they walked forward, not waiting for them to speak, Max used another Time Stop and ran as far away as possible.
Thirty seconds was a lot of time, enough for Max to run back to an area where a lot of people were more concentrated.

“I need something from you, so you have to die.”
The puppet’s attack became faster than the water shield being rebuilt that the water user had to hit the puppet back with his own attacks.
Wave after wave of water shooting out of him and hitting the puppet but it showed no signs of slowing down.
Although the water user forced it back with a large mass of water hitting it upfront, that was all of it.
The water attack was obviously ineffective, even when tears appeared in different areas of the puppet’s clothes, it never managed to penetrate the skin.
The water user seems to be genuinely unlucky encountering something like this. If it were an average person, the water would at least make them feel some pain.
But since it was a puppet, hitting the face and the eyes or any soft areas of its body wasn’t the slightest bit effective.
…
“This is the place.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. This is the location that was written from the report we received.”
Two men went out of their cars to look around them. Buildings after buildings surrounded them in every direction.
This was where Max exactly stood a while ago.
“So he’s here?”
“That’s what they said on the report.”
“The Puppet Master, huh?”
The taller and more buff man said. He wore a uniform with a shield logo printed on it. They seemed to be connected with the police force. They might even be a secret force that was unknown to the public.
“Who is this Puppet Master anyway that they value him so much?”
The assistant curiously asked. This was the first time he had heard of this guy, but from what he noticed a lot of them knows this person quite well.
“Puppet Master. We don’t know his gender or what he looks like. From all the information that we have about him, the only thing we know was he controls this powerful puppet, using it for his goals.”
The man patiently explained, with no hesitation. It seems that the assistant was also allowed to know the information.
“Why is he so important? There are a lot more wanted Awakeneds that are stronger than him, right?”
“Other Awakeneds aren’t as troublesome as him, and he is one of the best when it comes to escaping from the authorities. He is also one of those killers.”
His face tells how irritated he was with the Puppet Master, and once the assistant heard that he was a killer, he immediately got why this was a critical mission for them to complete.
“Chief Li, do we go in?”
The assistant was an average guy that follows the chief wherever he goes. He was the partner that was provided to assist him in his daily tasks.
Overall, they made quite a good team, accomplishing numerous missions that they were tasked to do, and from their conversation, it also showed how comfortable they are around each other.
“No, we wait here.”
Chief Li shook his head, taking a deep breath, surveying their surroundings for any disturbance. His hands never left his communication device, ready to notify their people to move when needed.
“Shouldn’t we catch the Puppet Master? He’s wanted for so long already and has caused quite a lot of problems for us.”
“They told us to catch him if we could, but we shouldn’t force it. We know full well how strong it is. Some groups went a long way to catch him but were still unsuccessful. Orders from the higher-ups said it would be better if we could find its real body first before thinking of making any moves, trying to catch it.”
Chief Li sighed. Their task of finding information, investigating Awakeneds has been too tricky these past few days.
New Awakeneds surfacing everywhere, making trouble and here they are, trying to catch them one by one.
Their government hasn’t even been too strict to Awakeneds, only asking them not to break the law and not cause a public disturbance, but they don’t seem to care.
They have a prison ready to contain them. It was specially created for Awakeneds that was too destructive and vengeful.
Finding them is hard enough, but capturing even just one of them requires a lot of people that they have to keep working day and night.
Not to mention the tragedy that just happened a few days ago where a group of Awakeneds broke into their prison, killing every guard, letting everyone escape back to the world.
The amount of headache it caused all of them was monumental, and now that they have rebuilt the perfect prison that effectively stops any use of skill inside it with the help of an Awakened, they have to work harder to capture all of them back.
Though none of them were hopeful that they could take everyone back since most of them have already fled far away, moving to other countries.
Fortunately, they only have a few prisoners on their watch, so they weren’t too discouraged.
Now they’re back to the beginning, different groups have their own target, and they were tasked to capture the wanted Puppet Master.
However, the Puppet Master seemed to be toying with them, sometimes fighting with them for a few moments then disappearing like smoke.
The worst thing was they have no idea how to locate its real body, giving them a hard time solving this mess.
“Let’s find a place to hide. We can’t stay in this place for a long time. Our guys were also ono standby in case we got a lead on where he is.”
Chief Li and his assistant moved for cover on one of the buildings nearest to them. Now they only have to wait.
…
“Why don’t you just give up. You know you are getting tired and I’m a puppet, I don’t get tired. Don’t keep stalling for time. You won’t be able to escape.”
The puppet continued its barrage of attacks on the water user that was starting to feel the heavy feeling of exhaustion throughout its body.
Along with his panting, the water user could only hope to escape, knowing that he doesn’t stand a chance against his opponent.
“Accept that you lost and give me what I want.”
“I’ll give it to you if you just tell me what exactly do you want!”
The water user shouted while enclosed in water. He was panting harder, feeling that he won’t last for long.
“You have to die for me to have it.”
“What do y-? Gah!”
The water user stared with wide eyes as a fist-sized hole was left in the middle of his chest after a projectile penetrated it.
Seemingly being impatient, the puppet surprisingly caught him off guard with one of its hands separating from its body, shooting straight to his chest, unstoppable by the thick water shield covering him.
The water user opened his mouth, but no word came out of it as he slowly slumped down on the ground.
“What an annoying skill. Now, where is it? It should be here soon.”
A voice came out of the puppet as it made its way to the lying body of the water skill user.
