The three Divine Mothers shifted their postures when they resigned at the extravagant goal of catching him alive. Divine Mother o-ooooo heaved a tired, frustrated breath as she stepped away from the Armor of Flowing Wisdom with a profoundly wary gaze at the halo of energy around the Emperor of Water.
It was impossible to manipulate the man's mind. In that case, it was better to shift gears. If her mind manipulation couldn't be used for offensive power, then she would use it for other purposes.
In truth, she was not an offensive combatant at all. The reason she had attacked Rui anyway was that she felt profoundly violated by him skimming through her mind web. A mental violation of this kind was much, much worse than even physical violations, as far as the Divine Mother was concerned. She had wanted to take revenge, but his armor was enough to at least impede her very well. She simply had not expected that three Divine Mothers would not be enough.
