The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 762

The leader of the Chaotic Staircase Investigation Team is certainly adept at deceiving superiors and subordinates, but this does not mean that he is ignorant or incompetent, nor does it mean that he can remain indifferent and unmoved after being tricked by the Night God Society's action team.

This legendary and extraordinary individual named Crusoe, during an internal seminar, quipped, "We suffered a series of setbacks this time. First, we went to the wrong place, then we ran out of ammunition and were left looking disheveled. In the end, we were just missing something."

What's missing? Not many people died.

I don't think this is good, so I'm prepared to take a big loss next!

Those who knew Crusoe well knew that he was being sarcastic.

His words, translated literally, mean, "If you fall down, you have to get back up."

Whenever Crusoe speaks ironically, even at the cost of self-deprecation, it means he's starting to take things seriously.

Sure enough, before the team set off again, Crusoe brutally murdered the team's chief technical officer in front of everyone, skinning and dismembering him.

Amidst the agonizing screams of the inhuman victims, Crusoe's voice, like a chilling wind, pierced the hearts of everyone present.

"I know that some people may be secretly pleased at this moment because I may have killed the wrong person. The one who misled us to chase the wrong place was not him, but someone else."

Another reason for their secret delight is that they don't get along well with our technical officer and are secretly hoping for his demise.

What I want to say is that whether I kill the wrong person or the right person, it doesn't really matter to me.

I'm just using this operation to tell you a bloody truth: I'm getting a little carried away when it comes to chasing the enemy.

In that case, I will oppress you. Either you will die in battle against the enemy, or you will be tortured to death by me for some reason, like the technical officer, or you will find a way to satisfy me and achieve a complete victory in this investigation.

There is no fourth way out, because even if you unite, you are no match for me, and I hold your weaknesses in my hands!

It couldn't be more blunt, but that's what lets people know that this isn't just talk, and it's not something that's brought up from time to time. It's something that will really happen when things don't go well, and people will grab it and kill it to vent their anger.

No matter how eloquent or cunning you are, you are helpless in the face of such barbaric behavior.

This is what you call using magic to defeat magic; a scoundrel needs another scoundrel to deal with him. Aside from being a bit too much trouble, it has no other drawbacks.

Thus, the members of the Chaotic Staircase Investigation Team demonstrated what it means to be spirited, professional, and high-spirited, instantly displaying the demeanor of a strong team...

That evening, the Reaper Oberon followed the trail and arrived at the Night Gods' stronghold in the state, Mastar.

Hamel and his team arrived less than three hours earlier than Oberon. Most of the team members had just finished showering and changing and were enjoying their free time before a sumptuous dinner.

Faced with this situation, Oberon had roughly two choices:

Firstly, an assassin silently eliminates these people, one by one.

Secondly, he could be a butcher who allowed enemies to gather and then slaughter them all.

He did this not because Black Rob was bloodthirsty, nor to live up to the name of the Reaper, but because he had already deciphered more intelligence information from Abed.

Information suggests that most of the official members of the Night God Society can be considered training soldiers.

Those who can acquire superior skills and participate in important external affairs projects such as raiding camps to seize spoils and developing technologies are considered the core members of the church with devout faith.

One of the great visions of the Night God Society is to elevate the Night God to the heavens and make him a true deity.

Whether this mysterious being on the path to godhood is Parus or not, Black Robb has no way of knowing yet, but Abed knows a related secret: a portion of the Pantheon's legacy was obtained by this mysterious being who calls himself the God of Night.

Abed was one of the participants who obtained the mission in the first place.

At that time, he was just a promising and daring newcomer, following his boss on missions. The key was to find important items before other forces and bring them back to the secret base.

The mission was carried out smoothly without any major incidents, and Abed was then richly rewarded, obtaining almost all the necessary skills, resources, and equipment to achieve legendary status.

Abed was astonished by the generous reward. He secretly investigated and spent many years piecing together information through different channels. Only then did he basically confirm that the important object he had rushed to find was part of the Pantheon's legacy.

Based on this intelligence, Black Robb has reason to believe that Night God is likely an important participant in the Pantheon's collision with the Dark Hell, and one of the more core members.

Therefore, they were able to dispatch a search team immediately, and with unique search methods and relatively reliable clues, they were able to obtain the desired treasure before other forces, and even the Elf King.

Black Rob also believes that, due to their different demands, the Night God and the Elf King had a tacit understanding of not wanting to have it all, but rather knowing how to make choices, having clear goals, and ultimately getting what they wanted.

In any case, Yagami has grasped the foundation for becoming a god, so his path to godhood is not an absurd adventure, but a gradual ascent.

Black Robb was unable to accurately assess the progress at this time, but he firmly believed that slaughtering the core members of the Night God Society could effectively disrupt his ascension rhythm.

With time to prepare, he can create more variables.

Furthermore, he is a lone wolf with no real allies. Therefore, whether it is the one who stirs up the plague or the one who secretly becomes a god, they are all rebels who refuse to conform to the trend of low magic. They just do it and don't need to worry about making too many enemies.

Furthermore, due to Black Rob's unique nature and powerful authority, after learning of the existence of the Night God, he was able to investigate some hidden concepts from a natural perspective as the guardian of the world.

For example, he knew that the name 'Night God' had a profound meaning.

In a normal context, he would estimate that this Night God was a deity who stripped away his own dark essence, thus giving birth to a god on the dark side.

In this special era of an abnormal world, he believed that the other party was precisely using this operation to exploit loopholes in the laws and try to obtain a legitimate godhood, even if it was just a weak divine power, as long as it was officially certified.

In order to achieve godhood, a large number of evil and wicked things will be used by them and become sacrifices, which can be described as a reasonable and ingenious use of current resources.

Even after becoming a god, one can still use evil and deceit as sustenance.

At that time, the scythe in his hand that reaps evil will be even more powerful than the blood magic displayed by Oberon.

Once that happens, it will be equivalent to the birth of the most efficient harvester, who can use evil as resources for progress at a high cost-performance ratio, harvesting like crazy and growing rapidly.

It is precisely because of the inherent dangers (rapid growth, backed by a resource pool, making it a formidable competitor in the race to harvest extraordinary resources) that Black Robo needs to be discovered and dealt with early.

Oberon then roused the Night Gods priests and soldiers in the stronghold with a long roar that was comparable to a dragon's howl.

A piercing magical alarm sounded, accompanied by magnificent fireworks exploding in the air.

The multi-layered early warning system prompted the already well-trained instructors to quickly assemble, and most of them were both surprised and angry.

Since the establishment of this stronghold, no one has ever been so arrogant as to come here alone and provoke us head-on.

But since the other party has done this, even a fool would know that their intentions are not good.

What followed was inevitably a fierce battle to the death. They weren't exactly fearless warriors, and being suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy before they could even form their battle lines, they naturally panicked. The legendary-rank superhuman, Hoye, responsible for guarding the base, had a grim face; he looked like he was about to burst into flames.

He had a duty to defend the territory. When the enemy provoked him so brazenly that he only then realized their presence, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't have been slapped any further. Therefore, he immediately called upon his capable subordinates to prepare to rush forward and kill the invading enemy.

"Wait!" Hamel, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, stopped them.

Time causes things to evolve, including some relatively intrinsic changes.

For example, on his way back, Hamel carefully reviewed the series of encounters during the operation and actually managed to come up with some insights.

Simply put, Hamel believes that in this day and age, there are very few supernatural powers that can produce such incredible results as the mysterious enemy has.

Among them, the most powerful and most likely to have created all these wonders is the 'Hidden King'.

Hidden King is the name given within the Night God Society to a god-like being who has suddenly manifested his divine power in recent years, triggering a series of major events and causing chaos in the world. He is referred to as a 'demon' by various extraordinary forces.

It is impossible to know who first coined this term, but it was naturally accepted by everyone without any objection.

According to past records, similar events most likely occurred when the 'honorable lord' spoke of them personally.

Although the 'Honorable Lord' is not a true god, he already possesses some characteristics that only gods have, such as the power of his words to become law.

The power of words is not merely about speaking with divine authority or being backed by laws; it is akin to divine magic. It also possesses the characteristics of awe and bewitching the mind, causing people to subconsciously believe.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that the title 'Hidden King,' which has nothing to do with 'evil' and lacks any event or phenomenon to support it, was easily accepted by the public.

Of course, from Black Robb's perspective, the reference to "Hidden King" shouldn't be too obvious.

Isn't he just talking about the King of Fear in the Dark Hell?
Not to mention that he spends most of his time drifting along the river of time, even when he is active in the mortal world, he often stays behind the scenes. He rarely uses the authority of the King of Fear, and he has never even sat in an office for a day.

And those who can so clearly describe his past behavior and give him such a title are few and far between.

There are several other similar details, which are the clues left by Parus in Black Robb's understanding.

The focus then shifts back to Hamel.

When Hamel guessed that the Hidden King's faction might be the mysterious enemy they had encountered, he quickly began to think it made more and more sense.

Since it was this person, Hamel realized that the other party must have a strong backing to dare to challenge him alone.

The main reason is its reputation.

In the past, the Hidden King faction has never been defeated in similar openings, each time unleashing a massive wave of bloodshed and causing countless deaths.

Hamel was certainly afraid, afraid that if he confronted them head-on, they would start fighting after only a few words, and his side would be wiped out.

So, while communicating with Hoye telepathically, he overstepped his bounds and, representing the many Night God Society members of the base, forced a smile and asked, "Sir, what brings you to our base?"

Hoyer was one thing, but his guards were furious when Hamel took Hoyer as the leader without explanation and acted so cowardly.

When has Yagami ever been so weak, when he's always been able to deal with invading enemies?

Fortunately, they were all of decent quality, unlike the Chaotic Stairs, which was full of slick thugs and scoundrels. The internal environment of the organization was also relatively good. Therefore, even though many people were indignant at the moment, they did not make a fuss, but instead turned their attention to Hoyer.

Most of them were under Hoyer's command and had a certain understanding of their leader's temperament. They believed that Hoyer would surely display the might of a legendary powerhouse and respond forcefully to the enemy who had come to attack.

Hoyer knew, of course, that he was no match for Oberon. This was not only because Hamel had explained the advantages and disadvantages to him in secret and analyzed the possible identity of the newcomer, but also because after Hamel intervened and stopped him, he had more time to lock onto Oberon and sense him.

This sensation made him realize that the opponent's strength was unfathomable, as if he were facing a vast ocean.

He had only ever seen a similar feeling in demigods before.

However, he wasn't particularly panicked. His confidence came from the Four Guardians and the Three Holy Envoys. These seven were the Night God Society's true top-tier fighting force, all of them being double-flowered red sticks.

If any one of them responds to the call and arrives, even if they cannot kill the enemy on the spot, stop them from ravaging the base, they should still be able to do so.

Therefore, he immediately activated a special summoning spell.

Strictly speaking, this is a divine art.

However, since the Night God cannot properly exercise divine authority, the caster must make up for the deficiencies.

As the saying goes, "like attracts like," and as a legendary rank, the consumption of its completed parts is relatively huge, thus resulting in the phenomenon of overflowing spiritual light.

Just as the light appeared on his body, Oberon suddenly appeared beside him, reached out with his right hand, and with a crisp 'crack!', Hoyer's neck was snapped.

Everyone present was stunned.

How could this be? How is this possible? What kind of mystery lies behind this simple and brutal approach? Why didn't Hoye dodge, why didn't he defend? Why weren't his life-saving and substitutionary abilities activated? And what about his domain power? Why didn't it manifest? Why was he directly targeted by the opponent's body?

Compared to most extraordinary individuals, Hamel was a highly skilled expert who had discerned some of the intricacies of the subject.

But it is precisely because of this that I feel a chill in my heart, as if I have fallen into an ice cellar.

In a fleeting moment, he witnessed Oberon's extraordinary and legendary control and mastery of the laws, as well as his clearly superior abilities that seemed to be the authority of nature.

Because of his superior strength and skills, Oberon completely overwhelmed Hoye and possessed extremely high natural authority, Hoye suffered multiple weakenings and even the sealing of the power of laws from the very beginning, while Oberon received an additional boost. With this shift in power, the difference in their combat strength became very large in an instant.

This is the main reason why Oberon was able to defeat Hoyer so easily.

Hamel instinctively put himself in Hoyer's shoes for a moment, then realized that if he were Hoyer, he would still be instantly killed.

This was both surprising and embarrassing. Before this, he had never known that the difference in strength between people of the same level could be so great.

Amidst fear and embarrassment, Hamel quickly racked his brains, considering how to proceed.

As a result, many of Hoyer's loyal men, after their initial shock, were enraged and rushed forward recklessly, baring their teeth and displaying vicious behavior, as if this would increase their chances of killing Oberon.

"No!" Hamel exclaimed.

Even after all this, they still dare to make a move. These ignorant and fearless people are just too stubborn!
It can only be said that at times like these, a good organizational atmosphere and a good superior-subordinate relationship become a burden. When the commander is killed, the soldiers instinctively want to avenge him. At this moment, they talk about emotions rather than ideals, and sing the praises of courage.

The emotional value is certainly immense, but that's not enough to explain the huge gap in terms of actual strength...
