The most important thing was the number of puppets that a 'soul manipulator' could control.
Under extreme circumstances.
A level 1 Soul manipulator soldier could only control 10000 unranked puppets and 1000 Level 1 puppets.
A stage two soul manipulator could control a hundred thousand unranked puppets, ten thousand stage one puppets, and a thousand stage two puppets.
A Tier 3 soul manipulator.
Ten times more.
It could control a million unranked golems, a hundred thousand first-ranked golems, ten thousand second-ranked golems, and a thousand third-ranked golems.
Of course.
Soul manipulators also had an obvious 'weakness'.
The first point.
Its combat strength was very weak. Although it was at the perfected stage of Tier 3, its combat strength was the weakest among its peers. It did not have any combat skills.
The second point.
