The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 758

Lightning bolts pierced through the fel shield, like unusual arrows, striking the grotesque body of the armored figure.

The equipment on the body of the evil spirit seemed illusory, unable to hinder it in the slightest.

The lightning arrow pierced his body, causing the evil creature to tremble and exhibit a clear effect of electric paralysis. This significantly affected the advance of the entire army formation, disrupting its orderly progress.

Hamel raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

But soon, this excitement was replaced by surprise and doubt.

He noticed a detail: the armored fel monsters were clearly shaking like leaves from the successive lightning bolts, but the fel shield remained intact, without collapsing even as the fel monsters' condition worsened!
As a legendary-level character, his professional skills were naturally quite high. Considering the previous collective attack of the evil-equipped characters, which neutralized his ultimate move and transformed the energy into an energy rain, he made a deduction:

Those fel shields acted as a filter, and the lightning bolts changed their properties as they penetrated them!

The altered nature of Lightning Bolt, even if not a healing potion, is by no means an unbearable force for those equipped with the Felguard set!
"Damn it! What kind of opponent have I run into!?"

Having twice used rules and authority to break his ultimate move, Hamel was certain that it was not the ability of the evil spirit itself, but rather that a powerful superhuman was indeed in control behind the scenes.

He could even smell a hint of familiarity.

This kind of performance, which even the superhumans find incomprehensible, is very similar in style to the way Abed disappeared in a very short time!
Coincidence?
He doesn't think so.

He was already prone to suspicion, and with such extraordinary phenomena occurring twice in a row, he believed that anyone with a modicum of intelligence would make connections. It would be illogical and foolish to be deceived by superficial information.

In particular, he had previously suspected that the prison gang was actually cannon fodder hired by the real mastermind.

Further analysis and speculation suggest that if illiterate natives in remote areas can be tricked into becoming cannon fodder, why can't even more foolish and wicked people be tricked into doing the same?

In fact, there's no need to deceive the evil spirits at all. The evil spirits are merely flesh and blood tools already imprisoned in armored cages. The members of the Chaotic Ladder who have control over these puppets are the ones who are being deceived.

The members of the Chaotic Ladder, their loyalty to the organization, and even their own low moral standards are the lowest of their time. If some sell themselves to the Night God Society, why can't some sell themselves to other organizations?

It can only be said that the plague destroyed human civilization relatively quickly and comprehensively, and at the same time, like fishing with a net that kills off offspring, it caused the world's extraordinary power to exhibit a strange and abundant state of temporary resurgence.

Anyone with a macro perspective and long-term planning, whether an exceptional individual or a powerful force, can see that if this frenzied, exploitative frenzy is not seized, the consequences will not be as simple as just enduring hardship; they will starve to death before they can complete the adaptive transformation.

As the plagues in various places stabilized and entered a new stage of "the wheat is ripe", all sorts of strange and monstrous things emerged.

What we've encountered this time is likely a mysterious organization that was previously unknown, or a high-level superhuman who excels at hiding and developing.

From the perspective of the Night Gods Action Team, it seems that the team failed to achieve its goal due to the cunning intervention of a third party, and the crucial core data for the development of the evil creature was stolen.

From the other side's perspective, the task was not yet fully accomplished. Some high-value research intelligence and even resources fell into the hands of the Night God Society, which was worth trying to seize, hence the confrontation on site.

After making this analysis, Hamel naturally stopped complaining about his bad luck and instead adopted a cautious attitude to think about how to deal with the current situation.

Meanwhile, the armored fiends that had withstood seven waves of lightning arrows began to undergo sudden transformations.

The serpentine tentacles first emerged from the holes in the armor pierced by the lightning arrows, and then more tentacles burst forth from within the armor, making it appear as if a demonic, thorny alien was being born within the body of the evil creature, beginning to completely devour it and replace it.

Not only their monstrous flesh and blood bodies, but even magical artifacts are food for these alien creatures. The action of breaking through their armor is just like cutting a steak into small pieces.

How did it become so awesome?

Is it because of the same old logic used to cover up the lie, which led to a situation where one is caught in a dilemma and keeps adding to the stakes?

There are some reasons for this, but it's not the main reason.

The main reason is that, with the return of the elemental body using the Void Teleportation Technique of the Great Old Ones, Black Robb, who obtained Abed's soul, has already completed the soul search of Abed with the help of the professional equipment of the Great Old Ones' divine kingdom warship.

In other words, from Black Rob's perspective, the Night Gods Society, represented by Hamel and others, was the elusive and secretive stagnation of the past.

Now that the plague has entered its second phase, the effect is like the tide receding, and those creatures that were previously hidden under the mud and sand and in the crevices of the rocks have all come out.

Black Rob had long considered the existence of such extraordinary individuals and was certain that they existed.

However, as someone who doesn't want to be recorded in the history of civilization or even the universe, he is well aware of the inconvenience of trying to hide.

Whether in the world or in society, interactions should be minimized and made more roundabout to reduce the probability of exposure. As a result, one's own development and even survival will inevitably be slow.

Moreover, it's difficult to be both large and strong. After all, if an elephant can use towering ancient trees to conceal its size, what will the Kunpeng rely on for concealment? The Jianmu tree or the World Tree?
Therefore, no matter how big or strong a company is, it can no longer keep its wealth hidden and will inevitably be exposed.

This applies to organizational power, and it also applies to extraordinary individuals.

His power was powerful enough, right? But he still had to declutter and hide in the river of time. Even an ancient god lying in a coffin wouldn't dare to impersonate him, which shows how difficult it is for a powerful person to disappear.

Because there is such a price to pay for being a true stealth user, Black Rob doesn't take this power too seriously.

Those who have virtually no chance of influencing the overall situation are not worth his excessive attention.

So why has it changed now?
On the one hand, the current situation in this region is somewhat like "when the cat's away, the mice will play," which is a bit like "when the cat's away, the mice will play."

More importantly, Black Robb uncovered many secrets of the Night God Society from Abed, and from these secrets, he sensed a familiar scent. It seemed to be… Parus!
From its inception, the Dark Hell reserved the position of King of Destruction, one of the three kings, for humanity. After all, humanity represented the pinnacle of all creation, the protagonist of heaven and earth, and the variable of evolution in the low-magic era, or even the era without magic. Giving a position of honor to humanity was, in a way, a way of using one race against another.

However, Black Robo clearly underestimated the dark side of human culture in this world.

Intelligent beings in the extraordinary world are influenced by the extraordinary environment and tend to be more emotional. During the critical period of the rise of the human race and in the years that followed, they were also bathed in negative influences. Therefore, they generally have desires, ambitions, obsessions, and even madness that exceed the balance line.

Those who emerge from the process of survival of the fittest and intense competition are the quintessential representatives of these traits.

In other words, Terence, the first Lord of Destruction chosen according to the established process, was, in terms of his nature, unwilling to be controlled by the Dark Hell system and to be bound for a long time in a position similar to a super-deluxe version of the warden.

The reason it's called "noisy" is because, according to general logic, after some consideration, theoretically, one wouldn't do something so risky as to jeopardize their livelihood. But some people just make illogical and irrational choices. Whether you say it's because their self-destructive tendencies are too severe, or that they're too obsessive and can't live without being obsessed, in short, they can't be measured by rational thinking.

Therefore, after Terence created the Black Tide and Black Robo had to save the world and clean up the mess, he inevitably had to think about it.

The final conclusion is that since the established human selection model has proven to be flawed, it's best to abandon the theory of 'humans understanding humans better'. After all, he's also human; does he truly understand the humans of this world?

He seemed to understand, but Terrence's performance proved him wrong; he clearly didn't understand, or at least not as much as he thought.

Let's change our approach and turn disaster into advantage.

Parus was undoubtedly a scourge.

The wounds of the world were caused by the divine body of Parus.

Even Black Robb was wary of his abilities and temperament.

On the other hand, he believes that those who can make him wary are capable of fulfilling the duties of the King of Destruction.

Therefore, if we don't consider the issue from an emotional perspective, then from a rules-based perspective, as long as the restrictions are sufficient, Blackrob believes that Parus can be used by this world.

The underlying principle of this approach is actually the saying, "True feelings are fleeting, only cunning wins hearts."

Human nature is unreliable because it is fickle, while rules are trustworthy because they are rigid. Even if there are some minor loopholes, they are not a big deal.

It seems the restrictions on Parus were sufficient, but problems arose with the Elf King. To put it bluntly, the problem wasn't being treated equally; granting him special privileges effectively increased the likelihood of his betrayal.

The Dark Hell has collapsed.

The two kings of hell and the seven dukes of hell have all disappeared without a trace.

For a long time, even until the outbreak of the plague, Blackrob believed that Parus had played a poor role in the collapse of Hell. He even went so far as to collude with the Elf King during the chaos, just like the gods.

If this perception has softened somewhat today, it's because Black Rob's intelligence network has failed to find any trace of Parus.

It's important to understand that the clues here are not simply limited to the intelligence gathered through various channels, including his avatars.

Black Robb has its own database, which is extremely large and of very high standard.

Parus has a dedicated file in this database.

Black Robb wouldn't just casually place a powerful figure with a bad criminal record, a lot of secrets, and many suspicious points into the position of King of Destruction.

Since the rules are rather rigid, they will inevitably have loopholes when facing a constantly changing world.

These oversights may not seem like much at the moment, but if they are not patched in time, they could become major flaws that disrupt the system in thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Fortunately, the chief engineer of the Dark Hell was the god of nature, who endowed the Dark Hell with special authority during its construction, enabling it to interact with the great trends of the evolution of heaven and earth.

This leads to a situation where, to put it more vividly, minor patches might not be applied in time due to the rebirth of the God of Nature, the inherent inhumanity of the Dark Hell system, or the inefficiency and lack of dedication of the King and Grand Duke. However, major version updates will always be automatically updated.

In this context, as long as Black Robb meets certain standards when appointing or dismissing a new Lord of Destruction, even if the new Lord of Destruction intends to cause trouble, the Dark Hell's tolerance for error will prevent him from making much of a fuss, or even backfire and ruin his own life.

Therefore, when Heroborg appointed Parus, he did a thorough review process and even added some detailed regulations.

To ensure a thorough review process, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the target audience.

Therefore, the files on Parus in Black Robb's possession are extremely authoritative. While it may not be said that he knows Parus better than Parus himself, he certainly knows his character and deeds in great detail.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

With such detailed information, if Parus joined the Elf King's faction, then his style of doing things would inevitably become apparent.

This is called a clue.

To date, no relevant findings have been made, including analyses by the top-tier AI team. Black Rob believes that Parus most likely did not participate in the plague.

He didn't participate in such a crucial event, and Black Robb doesn't think the Elf King has the magnanimity to keep idle people around. So where did Parus go?

As the soul search of Abed brought the Night God Society to the surface, Black Robb discovered that he seemed to have caught Parus's trail.

This is why he increased his bets and placed more bets on the demonic artifact.

The evidence is limited to a single point of view, and the accuracy of the intelligence analysis and deduction is somewhat lacking, relying solely on Abed's perspective.

As mentioned earlier, the more dangerous a place is, the more important it is to strengthen theft prevention measures.

As a secretive society that rose to power through traitors, the Night God Society treats its members like thieves, employing numerous counter-surveillance rules. Even a legendary figure like Abed, a high-ranking member of the organization, doesn't know enough to cover every aspect of the Night God Society, let alone its top secrets.

Therefore, Black Robb now needs more 'tongues'.

To achieve this goal, Heirobosai displayed his traditional skill: utilizing the Great Old Ones' ability to absorb energy for his own use, thus advancing on the spot and turning waste into treasure.

Actually, this skill hasn't been used for a while.

After all, the Ghost Emperor's covetousness of the unique skills of outsiders made Black Rob instinctively more cautious when using such techniques. Only when there was really no other choice would he use the excuse of "I will cover for me" to absolve himself of ultimate responsibility and thus use it.

Conversely, if a similar effect could be achieved with natural authority, then the lineage of the Great Old Ones would not be used.

Especially now that the project, which is suspected to be a monstrous project involving the collection and deconstruction of intelligence from the old branch and attempts to artificially reconstruct organisms from the old branch, has yielded tangible results, using old branch technology at this time is simply a disguised form of assistance to prevent the sample from being insufficient.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Black Rob did just that.

He wasn't betting that even if he did this, the Chaotic Ladder wouldn't be able to obtain more information about the old branches, nor was he betting that the Chaotic Ladder wouldn't be able to replicate his original awakening of the past, nor was he betting that the Demon Emperor wouldn't be able to get what he wanted from this chessboard-like world.

He didn't gamble at all; he simply trusted his divine intuition.

Divine intuition told him that those who learn from him will live, and those who imitate him will die. It would be fine if the Demon Emperor could not obtain the complete set of techniques to reproduce the Old Ones, but if he did obtain them, he would most likely fall into the trap of Black Robo himself and become his new food!
