The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 764

Black Robb's deployment of puppet armies to strike chaotic ladder strongholds around the world is a strategic deployment, a sum of actions that far surpasses any single special operation in both scale and duration.

The investigation team dispatched by Chaotic Staircase to investigate the fall of the secret base in the northern suburbs of Lennarzer City was a typical special operation.

Unfortunately, the team carrying out the operation was unlucky. They inadvertently became rivals with Black Rob, and were repeatedly outmaneuvered by members of the Nightmare Death Society in Oberon. When they finally managed to find the Night God Society's secret base, all they found were worthless facilities, which looked only slightly better than pure ruins.

Unable to find any further clues, and even the expensive divination techniques failed to provide any useful information, the investigation team had to declare the operation a failure.

Of course, true to their usual style, they would stay for at least half a day to film some scenes and then fabricate a plausible story to complete their mission.

In the chaotic staircase, whether one can succeed is a matter of ability, but the ability to tell a story is a matter of survival. These rogue-like superhumans know very well what is more important and how to make choices...

The legendary reaper Oberon has a chance to continue using Lymve of the Night Gods as a vine, trying to uncover more secrets about the Night Gods.

But Black Robb didn't let him do that.

The reason lies in the calculation of the interest account.

Given Oberon's strength level and unique laws, the most suitable job for him in the current era is to be a high-quality scythe, constantly reaping the evil and wicked.

Anyone with even a little knowledge of farming knows that wheat must be harvested promptly when it ripens. The auspicious time is limited to a few days; harvesting too early or too late is not ideal.

The same applies to the evil spirits. Once the evil spirits in the city begin to inflate their own power and enter the third stage, Oberon's scythe will no longer be sharp enough.

Even if Black Robb were to forge a 'Saint' level scythe at that time, it would be difficult for him to harvest evil spirits at such a low cost as he does now.

After all, in the current environment, the legendary rank is the ceiling of extraordinary power in the main material world. For a saint-level being to fully display the power of that rank, the cost is considerable. This alone greatly reduces the cost-effectiveness of harvesting evil spirits in the third stage.

Another major reason why Black Robb refused to send Oberon to continue pursuing Lemve was that, as a Hound of Authority, Oberon's maximum additional combat power boost was subject to certain conditions, one of the more stringent conditions being that Oberon needed to be on the Prime Material Plane.

If you go to an outer dimension, your privileges will be significantly reduced.

Black Rob believes that Lemve, as a research-oriented high-level superhuman, probably sensed some of Oberon's powerful secrets. That's why he deliberately went to the outer plane when using the magic array to send the teleportation. If Oberon insists on pursuing, the risk will increase sharply.

In fact, Black Rob's Old Days God Kingdom warship is also a different kind of earthly god kingdom. Only when it is in the prime material plane can his soul be like a powerful god, remotely and in real time, without any delay and difficult to be interrupted.

If it's an outer plane, the situation is hard to say.

For example, if it's an outer plane plus a demiplane, or a region with god-like characteristics, then it's best to follow the principle of consciousness segmentation and management, like Luo Yuansu did.

Otherwise, even without mentioning the exponentially increased consumption, the delay in the soul signal alone would be a fatal weakness in battles between high-level superhumans.

Black Robb was also aware that his opponents, such as the Elven Kings and even Parus, had spent time and effort studying and figuring out the truth that his natural authority was most powerful in the prime material plane, and slightly inferior to several levels in other dimensions, and had taken advantage of it.

Therefore, he guessed that both forces would intentionally place some important people, things, and events in non-primitive material planes.

However, even if he could guess it, he didn't have any good way to deal with it.

Omniscience is difficult to attain, and omnipotence is even more difficult to achieve.

He also cautioned himself not to strive for 'omnipotence,' but rather to cultivate what he already possessed.

Oberon's decision not to relentlessly pursue Lemve, but instead to go and harvest the evil spirits in the city, was partly due to this consideration.

In particular, there is never just one way to reach the destination. After searching Hamel's soul, there will naturally be new clues for Oberon to use. Therefore, it is too early to say that Lemve has been lost.

However, Black Robb never expected that when the new intelligence was gathered, Oberon would need to make a trip to the deep earth.

"The darkest place is under the lamp; he truly has the style of Parus, both courageous and insightful!" Black Rob gave this evaluation.

This deep place is different from the deep place layout that the Elf King previously laid out in the 'Remains of the Pantheon' project.

It leans more towards the attributes of the underworld.

To put it more bluntly, it seems that Parus is trying to use the legacy of the Dark Hell and the authority of the Lord of Destruction to create a realm of the abyss.

It is precisely because it boldly utilizes the derivative power of the dark hell that it is called "the darkest place under the lamp".

There's not much to say; preparations were quickly completed, and Oberon embarked on his deep-earth journey. Thanks to the full utilization of nature's authority and the power of the earth element, the process was unremarkable.

However, outside the Abyss, they encountered a rude awakening.

This place cleverly combines the concepts of the underworld and hell, and is guided by the remaining power of the laws of the King of Destruction, thus constructing a dimension similar to the 'underworld'.

More accurately, it's a demiplane or higher where the dimensions are not yet complete.

This conclusion is drawn from the perspective of the set of laws, using the prime material plane as a benchmark, a classic representative of the set of laws of nature.

Such places would not seem shameful to call the kingdom of some god.

If one were to attempt to wield divine authority over death, the dead, or the realm of the dead, such a place would be far superior to a divine kingdom built in an outer plane.

Conversely, it benefits the founders but is less advantageous for uninvited guests like Black Robb.

Black Rob used his own supercomputer-like system to conduct a rough simulation and estimate. He concluded that unless he activated the Old Days God Kingdom warship and launched a God Kingdom collision, with the warship overpowering him, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand against the vast power of this field in a grand manner.

Using the old Japanese warship involves many more matters; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's comparable to a major power relocating its capital.

Putting aside whether it's worth it for him to personally lead an expedition into that deep territory, from an intelligence perspective alone, he wouldn't allow himself to rashly launch a war against the divine kingdom.

Abed, and even Hamel, provided some intelligence about the deep earth.

However, for Black Robo, it's still too shallow.

To put it bluntly, Abed and Hamel might be considered veteran henchmen within the Night God Society, with their strength and status placing them in the upper echelons of the organization. However, they were still somewhat lacking in obtaining the crucial information that Black Rob wanted.

If we take the case of a multinational corporation, Abed and Hamel, who are at the level of branch managers or department heads in the head office, even if they have some stock options and are called partners, are essentially still employees, high-level tools.

At this level, their knowledge of the group's top secrets is relatively limited.

In particular, since Parus is suspected to be the mastermind behind the Night God Society, two issues must be considered.

First of all, as the first primordial spirit to arrive in this world, Parus had enough time and technology to manage his own power, with multiple burrows and backup stashes... In comparison, Parus was the god-level being with the most local tyrant characteristics.

Secondly, Parus's temperament. His virtues need not be listed one by one, but two are easily relevant to the current situation: 1. He is intelligent. 2. He is extremely patient.

With these two factors combined, Black Robb has reason to believe that no member of the Night Gods, including high-ranking members, knows all the key secrets of the Deep Earth.

Parus would definitely hold back more than one thing from these people, and might even mislead them into believing that they know the truth.

To put it simply, if Parus is indeed the mastermind behind the Night God Society, then Black Rob believes that if he completely believes that the information obtained by Soul Searcher Abed and Hamel is the truth, then he will most likely be severely tricked by Parus at a crucial moment, and there is no limit to how far he will be tricked. Even the Old Days God Kingdom warship may become the object to fill the hole.

Therefore, if he had to make a choice, Black Robo would rather let the Old Days act as an asteroid and collide with the new spacetime opened up by the Elf King than let it rashly venture into this deep underground realm that he named 'Netherworld'.

Black Robb didn't see this as cowardice, but rather as a basic respect for an opponent of Parus's caliber.

This respect for his enemies even surpasses his attitude towards the three giants of the gods, especially now that his career has a much lower margin for error and cannot afford to capsize.

So Oberon was only used as an expensive remote observation device before being recalled to the surface by Black Robb to continue serving as a rather naive and sinister harvester.

As for the Underworld, Black Robb thought of the saying, 'One enemy at a time!'

From a strategic perspective, the Chaotic Ladder, representing the Demon Emperor faction, is his greatest enemy at present. He should focus his main energy, resources, and technology on this direction.

As for whether Parus would take advantage of the chaos and watch the two sides fight it out to become the last one standing, he could only say that of course he would, but as long as he takes sufficient precautions, it wouldn't be so easy for Parus to be the one laughing last.

In addition, he also knew that simply taking precautions was not enough. It was both good and necessary to cut off the claws of the Night God Society that were reaching out to seize benefits.

The only downside is that this time it was fate that led him to inadvertently discover this ambitious force. In the future, it would be best to be more proactive rather than waiting for the next stroke of good fortune.

Furthermore, although dealing with the Night God Society is not the primary strategic objective at present, he will not let this enemy go. Therefore, some preparatory operations should begin now.

For example, intelligence work is not suitable for Oberon, but it is possible for superhumans of a lower level. After all, the Night God Society is not as well-planned as his sanctuary. The Night God Society interacts with the outside world more frequently and wants to fish in troubled waters. They also have many other demands. This is the opportunity. Whether it is parasitism or possession, if all aspects are invested properly, they can eventually infiltrate the underworld and carry out intelligence work.
