After losing the puppet legion.
Santa Claus's strength had also significantly diminished.
To be honest, the Puppet Devil's abilities were not suited for direct combat. The correct strategy was to constantly produce soldiers, create a puppet legion, and a large number of exquisite puppets, to defeat the enemy with surprise attacks or swarm tactics.
This had always been Santa Claus's modus operandi.
She had always hidden her true self and deliberately spread false information, leading everyone to believe that Santa Claus was just an old man nearing his end. In reality, that figure was just one of her finely crafted puppets.
Unfortunately, after obtaining the power of the Darkness Devil,
Santa Claus became arrogant, declaring she had understood everything and stepped out from behind the scenes to fight with her true body.
For a puppeteer, this was the most foolish act.
Although Santa Claus's strength was indeed formidable now, capable of catching arrows shot by Quanxi with her bare hands and keeping up with Reze's speed, the problem was... the power of darkness she obtained was only a small portion, making her even more sensitive to light. Once exposed, her strength would immediately diminish.
And now Denji was engulfed in flames, charging at her with two flaming saws without hesitation.
Fire has been imbued with many meanings by humans, one of which is to dispel darkness, bring prosperity, and be the origin of all civilization.
For this reason, the flaming saw truly countered Santa Claus.
After being injured, Santa Claus could almost instantly recover, but her recovery speed was much slower after being cut by the flaming saw.
There was no helping it, as Denji was now a moving giant light source. Santa Claus wanted to avoid him, but Denji, like a devoted follower, now saw his goddess in danger and had turned into a crazed iron dog of a thousand years, not allowing her to escape. With a wave of his hand, two chains wrapped around her body.
"Hot, hot, hot!"
Denji shouted as he retracted the saw chain, quickly flying towards Santa Claus.
Santa Claus tried to block, but the opponent was really like a mad dog, unstoppable. Instead, he wrapped around her, not just using the saw but even biting her, probably trying to drink her blood to heal. It was a very brainless and annoying tactic.
Seeing this, Santa Claus had no choice but to use her more than twenty arms to forcefully pull Denji off her body and then throw him out forcefully.
"Having the wisdom bestowed by the power of darkness, yet still not understanding the behavior of fools."
Santa Claus cursed, then said, "But your method is useless. As long as I am in the dark, I am immune to damage. And you... can't possibly keep burning like this, right? By the way, I can also transfer the sensation of pain to other puppets. You're just seeking your own death."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Denji said, slowly getting up from the ground: "Brother Fang Mo has been so good to me, finding me such a cute girlfriend as Reze, and giving me delicious food. He would definitely not harm me. He said the flaming saw is useful... so it must be!"
After saying that, Denji prepared to tighten the chains again.
"Stay away from me!"
Upon seeing this, Santa Claus also roared and grabbed a concrete slab from nearby to throw at it.
Unfortunately, Denji didn't care about these things at all. He tightened the chain, smashed the concrete slab with his head, and then charged at the opponent's chest with the chainsaw on his head. With the help of the sparks, he directly smashed her into pieces.
"Ha-ha! I am the Saw Man of Light!" Denji cheered after smashing Santa Claus.
However, the very next second, he quickly turned his head and shouted to Fang Mo: "Bro! Stop the fire! It's burning me to death!"
"Oh, that was resolved so quickly."
Seeing this, Fang Mo also walked over: "Hmm, you did well this time. I'll treat you to a meal next time, how about a barbecue?"
"You..."
The Santa Claus lying on the ground was left with only a head. Under the burning and illumination of the flames, her wound couldn't heal, but her attitude was still quite calm: "You don't think this will defeat me, do you?"
"After being chopped down to just a head, please stop bragging, okay?"
Denji immediately said after hearing this.
"Heh... Foolish child." Santa Claus suddenly sneered upon hearing this: "Your stupid and crazy actions did indeed work, destroying this body of mine, but don't think you can stop me."
"I mean, big sis... can't we understand our own situation before making such bold statements?"
Seeing this, Fang Mo also made a sarcastic comment: "You've been beaten down to just a head, why are you still talking tough? Aren't you afraid I'll burn you to death? Even Brother Xiao Yan isn't as bold as you."
"You don't think all my puppets are already here, do you?"
Santa Claus sneered mockingly, "I have made a pact with the Puppet Devil, and my puppets are distributed all over the world. As long as they are touched, I can continue to transform other humans into puppets as well. As long as the puppets are not completely destroyed, anyone can become a killer known as Santa Claus. Puppets evolved by the power of darkness will constantly come to take your lives."
"Oh, that sounds a bit troublesome."
Denji casually picked up the corpse of a puppet and started drinking its blood: "But if you're coming, remember to come on a workday. I won't entertain you during my rest time."
"Hehehe, I don't want to talk to you, an idiot, anymore. Your brain is too dull to understand."
As Santa Claus spoke, he rolled his eyes and set his sights on Fang Mo: "The strangers, friends, or even family members you meet tomorrow could all potentially turn into puppets to attack you. Can you dare to imagine such a terrifying life?"
"So... are you threatening me?"
Fang Mo seemed a bit incredulous upon hearing this.
"It's not a threat," Santa Claus said with a cold laugh. "I'm merely stating a pure fact. I can't wait to see the moment when you and your friends, your family turn against each other..."
"Hehehehe..."
Before Santa Claus could finish, Fang Mo suddenly laughed very strangely: "You are really good at courting death, just like every cultivator surname Chen..."
"You're scared, aren't you?"
Santa Claus was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, and even felt a bit proud: "If you now..."
"You dare to talk to me like this, all because of the courage given to you by the power of darkness, right?"
Fang Mo directly interrupted Santa Claus, then smiled and gestured to his own shadow: "You claim to understand everything, right? Well then, try to understand what's going to happen in front of you next..."
"Tekeli, come out."
