Chapter 791

It must be said that while Estes' methods were bizarre, their power was relatively weak.

At least these heavily armored dark elves could withstand a blow or two by gritting their teeth.

However, Estes's series of dazzling and deceptive maneuvers repeatedly caught the dark elves off guard, and this wasn't just a matter of one or two moves.

Moreover, Esther is not alone; there are also the Blood Serpent and Esther lurking in the shadows.

When the dark elves' puppets infiltrated their ranks and began hacking away, their patience finally ran out, and they could no longer maintain their formation.

So Black Rob used Ice Spikes a second time.

This time, he also incorporated the staff of the Flowing Water Staff into the spell, thus gaining even greater power.

At that time, several dark elves had their feet pierced or suffered cuts that tore the flesh off their calves.

This was just the beginning. The blood-magic serpent-men, upon seeing blood, began their clandestine manipulations. The bleeding dark elves abruptly turned into dried corpses, as if all the moisture in their bodies had evaporated instantly.

Estelle, on the other hand, set her sights on the leader of this group of extraordinary individuals.

There seem to be two leaders, one overt and one covert, and the one in the covert is the key.

The one who previously shouted for people to disperse before evacuating is the publicly acknowledged leader.

Another person, suspected to be the leader, disguised himself as a bodyguard and closely followed the apparent leader.

Black Robb suspected that this guy was faking it, not because he was deliberately hiding his strength.

After all, he had seen far too many cold and indifferent interpersonal relationships in this world. His statement, "I only need to protect my employer. What does the annihilation of the entire group have to do with me?" was enough to explain why this low-profile master was unwilling to step forward and try to turn the tide in times of crisis.

As for how to tell if someone is an expert.

It's simple.

You only need to sense the quantity and degree of integration of rare and extraordinary substances in the other person's body.

Past experiences have allowed Black Rob to summarize and repeatedly verify some of his insights.

This includes the fact that the higher the density of information, the more advanced the carrier it needs to be.

The power of laws is a type of information with extremely high density.

This is similar to the concept of "three begets all things". If we reverse the order, all things return to three, which means that the eight trigrams are condensed into the five elements. The power of the five elements encompasses everything and generates the world. The great way is simple, yet it is also extremely complex.

Therefore, those things that can stably bear the power of the five elements are extraordinary and not ordinary.

The power of laws is analogous to the power of the five elements. Therefore, for this power to exist stably within the body and be readily available for the soul's power, it must have a suitable system to support it.

Furthermore, the degree of integration between the rare and extraordinary substance and the physical body ensures that the substance is not temporarily contained in the form of an external object or a collectible.

Therefore, with a single sweep of his divine sense, Black Rob could roughly estimate the level of the target's extraordinary individual and whether they had crossed the legendary threshold.

Of course, being high-level doesn't necessarily mean being a strong fighter. For example, Lemve, the legendary superhuman from the Night God Society who ultimately escaped the incident involving the creatures in the Chaotic Staircase Hidden Research Institute, was a research-oriented individual; combat wasn't his forte.

Conversely, if they haven't even surpassed the legendary level, then Black Robb can confidently say that they are all inferior and not worth his attention.

After all, his cheat is powerful enough that he has no rivals of the same level. Even if he is successfully ambushed, he is confident that he can turn the tide. There is no need to worry about tricks.

This dark elf, who is suspected to be the hidden leader, is at the level of a legendary superhuman.

Given the constraints of the laws of the world today, this already represents an extraordinary top-tier individual who can act freely.

If a legendary transcendent being were to use the power of the laws without regard to the cost, theoretically, they could pose a threat to Estelle and Estelle, including direct death.

Needless to say, the other minor characters are easy to kill in a few moves if you just take the initiative.

Therefore, Black Rob is very concerned about this guy. After all, although his side has the advantage now, if this guy were to unleash his power, the situation could be reversed immediately.

The reason for the suspicion that he is the real leader is because he frequently uses telepathy to communicate with the apparent leader.

It couldn't even be called communication; it was more like a command. Black Rob discovered that this apparent leader simply read messages without replying, only receiving mental signals without any response. He didn't know if he wasn't good at telepathy, or if it was unnecessary.

Black Robb has never minded analyzing others with the utmost malice.

Thus, Estelle remained hidden in the shadows, keeping a close watch on the legendary dark elf.

Because Estelle follows a powerful and pure path of dark energy manipulation, and because of the remote control feature of her soul, she can leave only a trace of soul power in her body when needed.

Therefore, he can use specialized dark concealment techniques. Black Rob is very confident in this level of concealment techniques. This is not only because he has long since demystified the power of the laws, but also because he has an accurate judgment of his own strength and even his extraordinary skills.

In this respect, it's not simply a matter of 'I think so'.

Instead, a large number of extraordinary AIs are performing tedious comparisons and verifications to arrive at the results. To put it more deeply, extraordinary AIs are part of the divine kingdom's warship, which in turn represents the already unfolding divine kingdom system.

In other words, from a divine perspective, Black Robb has now achieved a balance between hardware and software. He possesses both the soft and hard power of a true deity.

The two most noteworthy points are...

First, there is his unconventionality. Black Rob is more like a primordial god, yet he is not. He does not rely on a belief system, and his bond with the Heavenly Dao of this world is far less tight than that of primordial gods.

Secondly, there is transcendence: the characteristics of an outsider, the advantage of being a Great Old One, and the authority of a World Guardian. These are the three highlights that represent this transcendence.

Previously, these three highlights were more about their uniqueness. Now, they are more about their tangible strength.

The Old Days Divine Kingdom warship is not in the outer plane, nor the inner plane, nor the prime material plane, nor the spirit realm, the astral plane, or the underworld, yet it can be called a divine kingdom on earth, forming its own faction. Its interaction and consumption with the prime material plane have been reduced to almost the minimum.

This transcendence is unprecedented not only in this world, but also in the entire universe.

Even the ancient gods hadn't reached this level. Otherwise, given the long existence of the ancient gods, they would have long ago severed parts of the universe to escape the reaction force of the rest and ventured into the depths of the void.

In the Old Days, the extraordinary AI is an alternative form of the Holy Spirit.

Their functions may not be as great as the Holy Spirit in the general sense, but in their professional fields, they are definitely superior to the ordinary Holy Spirit.

They were Herobrine's assistants and the rulers of God's kingdom, handling every aspect and detail. This allowed Herobrine to easily become a 'just and impartial god'.

No believer can falsify anything in his name, and all prayers are answered in a timely manner.

Of course, timely feedback does not equate to a positive response to prayers. The more effort you put in, the more benefits you receive; fairness is not just empty talk.

However, this is only a manifestation of the belief system that has spread from the Nightmare Death Society within the underwater sanctuary system.

Other aspects are not as obvious, but they are still playing a significant role.

This includes knowing yourself and knowing your enemy.

Black Robo's "scan" with his divine soul involves a massive amount of computation by an extraordinary AI. This is not the same as "having doubts is enough." In this respect, Black Robo is particularly committed to seeking truth from facts.

Therefore, Black Rob firmly believed that unless it was a divine incarnation, a "divine descent legend" who ruled over a legendary body from a superior position with their divine soul, it would be extremely difficult for the opponent to detect Estelle's dark concealment technique even if they scanned with the power of laws. With this temporary trump card, Black Rob wasn't too afraid of the Dark Elf legend suddenly unleashing a show of power.

So he controlled Estes and fought very aggressively, holding nothing back, bullying the dark elves until they cried out in agony, and his strength kept increasing.

However, even after most of them were killed or wounded and the rest fled in panic, the Dark Elf Legend did not claim to have jumped out in righteous indignation to save the day.

Why use 'righteous indignation'?
Because this encounter turned into a bloody battle without any explanation, the Moon Elves were truly ruthless, which is rare in the entire underworld.

As the saying goes, the martial world isn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions. How many nails can you, Moon Elf, crush? Being so arrogant and domineering, you're easily targeted and taken down by a coalition.

Black Rob's true attitude is that he doesn't care.

He could readily come up with specific reasons, and at this point he would say: "A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

Instead of following the principle of making many friends and few enemies.

He needed to quickly establish himself in the underworld without being discovered by the Night God Society, and he didn't want to appear too pathetic in the process, so he had to act arrogantly.

The moon elf's aloofness and arrogance are quite fitting. She pretends to have ample reasons, but never explains, and she doesn't care if others misinterpret her words.

For every laugh, there is a cry; for every peaceful life, there is a burden to carry. This is an extension of the law of conservation. Since Black Rob is so unrestrained, he needs others to care, such as the Dark Elf King Orgon.

Orgon means strength and height; in simpler terms, it means a tall person.

Unfortunately, Orgon, the Dark Elf King, was short, not even reaching 1.6 meters.

Since intelligent beings are mostly drawn to appearances, looks, image, temperament, and demeanor all provide a positive boost to rulers.

Conversely, it's not surprising that Orgon's childhood treatment was comparable to that of Tyrion Lannister in "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Thus, Orgon fully utilized the "superior" culture of the Dark Elf society, orchestrated a shocking tragedy, fed all his immediate family members to the great monster, and then calmly sat on the throne, ruling the kingdom with terror as his primary tool.

The biggest fear for such a ruling regime is naturally a lack of deterrence.

Therefore, when the Dark Elf King learned that the action team had suffered a crushing defeat, he was afraid and panicked. This fear manifested as anger, and he immediately hanged several staff officers who showed gloating expressions on the grounds that they were "not solemn and serious enough".

As for the expression of 'schadenfreude,' it is definitely a common expression in the council of dark elves.

This operation was pre-determined to be a high-quality mission with low effort, low risk, and high reward, and naturally it was fiercely contested by the various families under its command.

In the end, the Youhuo family made a huge promise in public, swearing oaths and issuing a military order, before they finally obtained the right to carry out the mission.

The result was such a crushing defeat. Several families who had harbored resentment beforehand, and the young people who lacked self-control and failed to manage their emotions, were theoretically understandable.

But he was hanged instead.

This is not just venting anger, but using the situation as an excuse to make a fuss, with a deeper meaning.

Sure enough, Orgon then offered a sweet deal: the four families to which the hanged man belonged did not need to send anyone to participate in the subsequent revenge operation.

The remaining families all need to send representatives. This is a mandatory mission; each family must send at least one high-ranking member to participate, and they will not return until they win.

Upon hearing this, the representatives of the various families all harbored resentment, yet none of them were willing to step forward and be the first to speak out.

This isn't the first time Orgon has done this.

Simply put, it's a strategy of balancing combat power.

The family I favored messed things up and lost manpower. Other families either tried their best to salvage the situation and at least bring it to a passable conclusion, or they also lost a number of elite combatants.

Everyone has lost face, so no one needs to laugh at anyone else. The losses should be shared, and this matter can be considered closed...

Black Robb doesn't need to resort to such internally destructive tactics to maintain the stability of the power structure.

He is an absolute dictator, and he feels perfectly justified in doing so. He is able to maintain logical and cognitive consistency in all relevant aspects, including morality.

Self-hypnosis and self-brainwashing, when one is not ashamed of selfishness and is willing to analyze and treat everything from the perspective of 'interest', can indeed make one indifferent to many things.

The puppets released the Moon Golem and began cleaning up the mountain magic cannon positions.

Moon Demons are representative creations of the Moon Elves. Because they are few in number, have long lifespans, and are born with extraordinary and sensitive physiques, they are more suitable for taking the elite route. Naturally, they have also vigorously developed puppets to make up for the needs of the lower-level labor force.

At this moment, the Moon Demon Statue of the Corpse Puppet has naturally been laced with something.

It's not that they've become more powerful, but rather that the Black Robb lineage has its own set of rules and strategies.

Because of its larger scale, longer duration, and greater investment in summarizing experiences, Blackrobo has become more confident in its own approach.

So they delete what needs to be deleted, add what needs to be added, and act out what needs to be acted out. They may seem like a Moon Elf team, but in reality, they are just wearing the skin of Moon Elves.

Soon after the various resources at the magic cannon site were recovered, they were dismantled and melted down into raw materials for use in camp construction.

Alchemy array, magic furnace, model array shaping.

The array, constructed from engineering tools, completed the work of the industrial assembly line, producing parts.

Then they are spliced ​​and welded together, assembled and activated.

In just a few hours, the Moon Elf Fortress was completed.

Unlike a true Moon Elf fortress, this fortress's main material is not Moon Elf Bone, its power system is not the Moon Furnace, and even its external features are merely a framework without substance.

However, considering the nature of expeditions, this appearance can be explained by simply making do with what we have.

The pyramid frame, with sides measuring 333 meters, is made of a material that appears to be matte metal, etched with magical patterns and runes. However, it is actually more complex than it looks on the surface, with many extraordinary patterns incorporated during the forging process.

In other words, if you cut open these heavy metal components that are too big for one person to hug and look at their cross-section, you will see intricate and mysterious patterns, much like those found on a Damascus steel knife made of Wootz steel.

These massive metal components, which appear rather ordinary on the outside but are stunning on the inside, form the framework of the pyramid, and inside that is an inverted pyramid.

This pyramid has walls, not just a frame.

The outer frame, in addition to supporting the magic array, also provides a protective effect similar to a Faraday cage.

The inverted pyramid is a magical fortress.

In terms of its internal structure and functionality, it is quite similar to the Mage Tower. It has all the necessary facilities, including elemental pools, negative energy pools, laboratories, combat rooms, and a small ecological garden. Moreover, it uses spatial folding technology, making the interior space much larger than it appears from the outside.

At the top of the inverted pyramid is the battle platform, with its own magic circle, allowing multiple people to fight individually or in concert using the power of the magic circle.

Of course, none of these are the key points. In Black Robo's mind, energy always comes before equipment and is the priority that needs to be addressed.

What's most remarkable about this pyramid fortress is that after it was built, it began to harness the local specialty—the light energy heritage of the Sky Raven Clan, which, from an energy perspective, is the sunlight that rises into the sky like a pillar from the heavens, based on the volcanic island.
