Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1055 - 286: A New Mode of War
Imperial Tomb Village Library.
The sky outside gradually brightened, and dawn crept over the glass, cutting a boundary between light and shadow on the table.
The Divine King's fingertips slid across the self-made map of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, marking dozens of attack routes with a red pen, only to cross them out violently in denial, with the edges scribbled with small words: All are dead ends.
Next to the map lay an open "Evil Spirit Atlas," displaying a winged Doomsday Series soldier.
Beside it was a cup of refreshing "Thousand Spirit Juice," with unprocessed fruit particles settling at the bottom.
In the corner of the table were several worn-out strategy notebooks, one with a folded corner, filled with dense annotations.
Scattered above the map were scraps of paper full of tactical simulations, with arrows repeatedly modified, numbers crossed out and rewritten.
On some sheets, there were cartoon sketches of Earth Thought Bully, including one with a clown style.
In the Divine King's view, the Evil Spirit Atlas collected after the Giant Domain battle was zooming in.
This battle introduced a plethora of new Evil Spirit soldiers, prompting his war knowledge base to synchronize updates.
Only by thoroughly understanding each newly appeared Evil Spirit soldier can one remain unperturbed in war, guessing the underlying intentions of Earth Thought Bully in generating such soldiers.
The game "Monster World" was so real that it required him to constantly absorb new knowledge.
Otherwise, he'd easily fall behind Earth Thought Bully's growth speed.
After exhaling deeply, the Divine King leaned back in his chair, recalling scenes of previous encounters with Earth Thought Bully.
His growth rate was clearly lagging behind Earth Thought Bully.
He thought of himself as the player, the absolute protagonist of this world, destined to conquer one formidable boss after another.
He didn't anticipate facing Earth Thought Bully, this evolving boss, in Monster World.
His abilities pale in comparison to Earth Thought Bully's growth speed.
The despair brought by Tourist No. 1 to Earth Thought Bully was profound, mirroring the despair Earth Thought Bully brought to him.
Recalling the initial entry into Monster World, he was indeed brimming with youthful vigor.
Back then, he believed his player advantage let him overlook all beings, considering Earth Thought Bully merely a minor obstacle on Divine Hall Guild's growth path.
That was indeed the case.
At that time, Earth Thought Bully hadn't mastered tactics like natural disaster backlash, nor other nauseating strategies.
Control over Evil Spirit soldiers remained largely aggressive, mainly generating level 1-3 minor Evil Spirits, letting them enjoy a wave of sacrificial power.
In several joint campaigns he initiated, he even seized a Spirit Field Node and a Spiritual Ore Resource Node from Earth Thought Bully.
The prevailing thought was that with the growth of his faction's players and his own abilities, Earth Thought Bully would soon be eliminated.
He would then lead Divine Hall Guild to expand outward from Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
However, Earth Thought Bully, having adapted to the Monster World environment, revealed its fangs, showcasing unimaginable growth potential.
This stage of Earth Thought Bully embodied despair, each new tactical display mocking the inadequacy of his knowledge stock.
There were moments of frustration, fearing he couldn't keep pace with Earth Thought Bully's growth rate.
Yet he ultimately chose to rally himself again.
Because he has brothers who trust and follow him waiting.
As a player, he believes in a wider growth space, capable of reversing the situation.
For this day to come, he worked late into the night updating his knowledge base, repeatedly simulating tactics into the early morning.
Extracting and repeatedly watching battle recordings of wars he commanded.
Especially after the emergence of the "Brain Overclocking" Life Soul, which gave him hope in defeating Earth Thought Bully. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
With the trait activated, his logical thinking significantly improved, and various new tactical ideas surged into his mind.
But unexpectedly, Earth Thought Bully's growth speed was even faster.
The feeling was as if he was perpetually chasing, falling further behind Earth Thought Bully, despite his efforts.
He suddenly envied Tourist No. 1's capabilities.
Within the player faction, at this stage, only Tourist No. 1 has the strength to penalize Earth Thought Bully.
Including leaders of other big guilds around him, none are opponents for Earth Thought Bully.
As Guidance said, Evil Spirit Warriors are born for war, and the Black Tide Army manifests terror in war.
The growth speed of Evil Spirit Warriors in warfare spreads like a plague over rotten flesh.
Current players find it daunting to surpass Evil Spirit Warriors in war control capabilities.
Yet Guidance also mentioned the player's future boasts infinite possibilities, with a new Life Soul perhaps bringing the power to reverse situations.
These words are the driving force behind his persistence.
Earth Thought Bully has Evil Eye support, which barely keeps up when Brain Overclocking's level increases.
Theoretically, Brain Overclocking + Eagle-Headed Demon grants battlefield super perception + war analysis abilities akin to Earth Thought Bully.
Earth Thought Bully can store information through Evil Eye, retrieving it for real-time application, while Brain Overclocking similarly clarifies blurred memories, providing optimal decision-making based on logical thinking.
Yet in other aspects, Brain Overclocking lacks any advantages.
Evil Eye can also obtain information from external sources, functioning like the internet, downloading intelligence from other nodes to assist war advancement at any time.
