Aegus is an Upper God, and his spiritual power is nearing the completion of Cui Mang.
Even if it were truly the completion of Cui Mang, he stood no chance of soul-locking him.
Yet, he felt that Lin Zhen's spiritual power was as vast as an ocean. Compared to Lin Zhen, Aegus' spiritual power seemed insignificant, like a small puddle.
His will to resist was crumbling. Even though he knew that Lin Zhen was going to soul-lock him, Aegus could do nothing to prevent it.
His body struggled desperately, trying to avoid the fate of becoming a puppet.
Lin Zhen could easily have slain him. Yet fearing to kill him with an overly forceful attack, he simply decided to use the Sun Ring.
"Stop resisting, accept your fate!"
His spiritual power released through the Sun Ring, doubling its strength, instantly destroyed all of Aegus' resistance. Within seconds, Aegus was reduced to a puppet.
All this happened right under Andromandis' watchful gaze.
