Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2217 - 1005: Armistice Negotiations (Part 2)
Then there was a terrible collision, no less than the Super Skeleton Bomb of the Corpse Giant.
This punch directly blasted off the left arm of the Giant Bone King.
But the terrifying recoil also turned Gaven’s fist into fragments and dust, with the entire corpse arm displaying dense cracks from top to bottom.
The form of these Corpse Monsters, pieced together from remains, is not known for strength.
The materials they use are all locally sourced and crudely assembled, making them even less durable.
Gaven used various abilities to furiously excavate them, pushing power to an extreme, but without corresponding enhancement to Constitution.
That’s the typical Seven Injury Fist, hurting the enemy a thousand, self-damaging eight hundred.
The Giant Bone King has clearly more experience in this area, already prepared to discard his left arm when intercepting with his lifted elbow, his right hand swinging down a Super Giant Skeleton Club with a howl.
No time to dodge; the Dexterity of a Corpse Giant is relative, after all, the Super Giant Body Type is right there!
He couldn’t do rolling maneuvers like smaller body types, nor could he block effectively.
Just after taking the initiative, he played his own arm into a semi-ruined state, let alone letting the enemy strike a club, which would undoubtedly knock off half a body.
Gaven’s combat instinct made the optimal decision: raising his left hand, the prepared Skeleton Giant Cannon roared with fire!
The massive Skeleton Cannonball accurately blasted the Super Giant Skeleton Club, the powerful impact not only breaking it apart but also causing a brief pause in the enemy’s attack.
Taking the opportunity, Gaven withdrew from the Corpse Giant’s attack range, repairing his right arm with Skeleton Repair while continuously striking at it with the left arm’s Skeleton Giant Cannon.
Transforming his corpse arms into a Skeleton Giant Cannon seemed smart but was in fact foolish.
The vulnerability of its arms was related to the overall hollow condition.
After the battle, it must be modified, either turned external or directly shaped into corresponding Skeleton Hand Cannon.
It’s already in a humanoid state, and this advantage could be fully exploited—to use various weapons.
If he had War Ravager in hand, this hand-raising weapon firing technique would have to be discarded.
However, Gaven didn’t learn from the Giant Bone King to create weapons from local materials; instead, he kept close-range bombardment with Skeleton Giant Cannon from both arms.
This temporarily condensed weapon had very limited lethality and wasn’t fast, far less powerful than direct bombardment with Skeleton Giant Cannon.
Close-range face-to-face shooting poorly diminished the effectiveness of the Giant Bone King’s Super Giant Skeleton Shield.
Occasionally, cannonballs would fall precisely on the Corpse Giant, peeling off layers of skin from it.
Without the high-speed support of Legendary or Transcendent Body, Gaven has certain speed advantage, but it doesn’t reach the level of suppression.
Circling the Giant Bone King is akin to dancing on a knife’s edge.
A slight mistake would lead to disastrous consequences.
Lightly, missing limbs, heavily, half of the body getting blown off.
At such times, Gaven has to retreat far to repair his injuries.
But by the time he recovers, the Giant Bone King is mostly restored too.
The two engaged back and forth for dozens of rounds, all like this.
Seeing that he had nearly grasped the situation of the Corpse Giant, Gaven withdrew actively, saying: "Continuing to be entangled like this is meaningless. Instead, it gives other Lords an opportunity. How about you and I join forces and attack other territories together?"
Being adaptable is a necessary quality of a good Strategist.
Although Gaven and his team originally planned to first attack the Giant Bone King.
But now the opponent has shown considerable strength and intention to negotiate, he naturally adjusts the strategic plan accordingly.
For him, it’s not about defeating any particular Advanced Undead Lord but maximizing the chaos and war, occupying more territory, which benefits him.
The tallest tree gets hit by the wind. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
If he defeated the Giant Bone King in one strike, he would face even greater pressure.
Because the remaining three Advanced Undead Lords would certainly fear his strength and allied against him.
But partnering with the Giant Bone King is different; by continuing attacks, limited by information and rigid thinking, their blame would first be attributed to the Giant Bone King, their old rival.
Just like how General Sethstein initially mistook it as an invasion by the other three Advanced Undead Lords.
Incorrect judgments lead to incorrect responses, resulting in irreversible consequences.
General Sethstein is the best proof.
If a similar situation arises with the next enemy, it won’t just be losing some land.
Not only because Gaven’s strength has greatly grown, but because the Giant Bone King certainly wouldn’t miss such a perfect chance, would launch a devouring war against this Advanced Undead Lord.
As for whether the Giant Bone King would sell him out to other three Lords, Gaven doesn’t worry.
It’s not that he trusts the character of the Giant Bone King; there’s no such thing as character among the Life of the Bottomless Abyss.
His trust lies in interests, in the ambition of the Giant Bone King.
The opponent would view this as an opportunity—to expand his territory, to seek the ruling power of the entire Plains of Bone.
Whether he would take advantage and grow from it, that’s a risk to be taken, that’s for the future.
The Giant Bone King fell into prolonged silence, clearly weighing the gains and losses, finally speaking slowly: "How to split the spoils afterward?"
