The puppet appeared stronger than before, at least from King Elbas' perspective. The creature was the result of a long study of his existence and fusion of the final energy that fueled three golems previously. It was born to defeat its opponent.
King Elbas was out of everything. His body was on the verge of falling apart, even if higher energy made its fabric. He didn't have anything anymore. He had to use all his remaining materials and storage devices to hide his last attack in the void and gain the chance to infect the last puppet.
The failure in his tactic put him in a corner. King Elbas was out of plans and resources. He could buy himself some seconds for the last time, but that tactic appeared pointless since he didn't know what to do in that period.
