Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Faced with this world of overclocking, Saito Hajime has only discovered one flaw, or rather, limitation.

That is one's own perspective.

Saito tried; he wanted to turn his head but couldn't.

They can't even do simple things like moving their fingers or blinking.

Of course, his ability to breathe almost instinctively in this world was no longer relevant to him.

The only things that can move are his eyes and his thoughts.

However, Saito soon discovered that his eyeballs also couldn't move.

The reason he initially had the illusion that he could move was simply because he shifted his attention from one end of his field of vision to the other.

In fact, the eyeballs themselves did not move; what moved were his thoughts and nerves.

Having realized this, Saito focused his attention on what was directly in front of him, on those beings who had crossed the Grim Reaper Legion.

The alternating brownish-red legs of the insect are composed of two joints, one above the other.

The area we'll call the "insect's leg" has a layer of skin secretion at the point of contact after landing.

It can both cushion the force and reduce the sound.

The insect's body above the joints is divided into two parts, one in front and one behind, with the front part being larger and the back part smaller.

Overall, this is very similar to an ant.

Moreover, at first glance, apart from not being very smart, it seems to have no weaknesses.

But after staring at it for a while, Saito also noticed some things.

This is perhaps what they mean by "time reveals true character".

As bullets hit their targets repeatedly, a wealth of experience began to accumulate.

He discovered that the Warrior Bug's fatal weakness was the area above its mouth in the front half of its body; a single bullet hit could easily take one down.

However, after seeing the bullets hit their targets one by one and witnessing the effects, Saito Hajime was not entirely satisfied.

Although the Warrior Bug's shell isn't as incredibly hard as the Xenomorph's, even a nine-millimeter diameter bullet can barely penetrate it.

Without overclocking mode, Saito Hajime would probably just be shooting by feel at most.

But now, even though the body can't keep up with such an exaggerated frequency of thought.

However, fine-tuning is still possible, and although there is some delay, it is still useful.

So in this slower world of overclocking.

Saito Hajime hits a Warrior Insect's weak point with every other bullet.

But soon.

Saito changed his plan again because he found a simpler method.

That means not attacking the weak point, but shooting at the second joint of one of the legs.

This only caused the Warrior Bug to lose its balance and fall to the ground, but that was enough.

Because this is not a one-on-one battle, but a swarm attack and defense war with an alarmingly high density of insects.

If the ones in front are even slightly slower, or don't even have a chance to fall, they will be trampled into dust without hesitation by the swarming ones behind them.

This is a more efficient method than simply killing the target.

From the moment the shooting began until now, less than three minutes have passed in the overclocking world.

In other words, in less than a second in the real world, Saito had already found the most suitable method for this Desert Eagle.

Not far away.

The white-skinned man in the demon team, dressed in a magic robe, took out a wand that was almost as tall as himself.

As the wand was waved.

A large patch of blue light appeared out of thin air, and then large orbs of light flew out.

It crashed into the area where the swarm of insects was the largest and most densely packed.

It's obvious that this person has also entered overclocking mode.

Because spells that usually have long cast times can now be cast almost instantly.

It seems that overclocking equipment has become a magical tool for magicians to enhance their abilities.

The pure blue orb of light was extremely dazzling. Upon landing, everything it touched, whether it was a warrior bug or a massive tank bug, vaporized and disappeared.

It completely wiped out everything within a ten-meter radius.

Insects ten meters away also began to melt rapidly, as if they had been splashed with sulfuric acid.

The effect was surprisingly similar to that of the electromagnetic bombs used by the Zhongzhou team.

It can be said that this single mage single-handedly suppressed the swarm's attack from one direction.

Of course, this is all predicated on the player being able to maintain this level of output.

That's obviously impossible, since the Philosopher's Stone didn't grant him unlimited energy.

On the Zhongzhou team's side.

Chen Zilong watched as the swarm of insects began to charge, took a step forward, and then his body flickered with an afterimage.

The next instant, when the Ironclad Soldier of Free Will, the Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, the Chainmail Golden Armor, and the Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Boots all appeared on his body.

Everyone on the Demons team was stunned for a moment.

Even the busy demon Chu Xuan was no exception.

Zheng Zha, who was holding a black greatsword, and Zhan Lan, who was standing to the side, exchanged a quick glance.

It was only then that they realized why this person had the confidence to challenge Zheng Zha.

Just by looking at Chen Zilong's current appearance, anyone with a brain knows what's going on.

What this person did next left the entire Demon Team utterly astonished.

Suddenly, he leaped up and the white clouds beneath his feet gathered, and he stood in the air.

Take a deep breath.

Extend your right hand and then spit it outwards.

Then, dense clusters of dark golden hairs appeared and flew to one side in the wind.

These hairs began to swell after flying a kilometer.

In the end, they transformed into individual Chen Zilongs.

This time, however, he wasn't transforming into a blank version of Chen Zilong, but rather into Chen Zilong fully equipped with gear.

In the eyes of the Demon Team, this ability to transform into countless forms was immediately apparent.

It's more like the entity they imagined it to be.

That is, the legendary Sun Wukong!!!

Thousands of monkey-like figures descended from the sky, brandishing long sticks and charging directly into the swarm of insects.

Each of these clones was capable of handling things on its own; one of them smashed a large worm to pieces with a single blow.

The culprit then fell from the sky and sat down on the ground to recover the true energy that had been depleted in his body.

Not far away, Chu Xuan from Zhongzhou unleashed a formation that covered Chen Zilong without even looking up.

The two newlyweds then took the energy stones and began placing them according to the light spots on the ground.

Of course, the only difference between the two was that their eyes were fixed on Chen Zilong.

After all, they are Chinese, so they naturally know of the existence of this legendary figure who has been famous throughout history.

At this moment, they wondered if it was just their imagination, but the more they looked, the more similar it seemed.

Although this one has no hair and no thunder god face.

Adjust your breathing and hold your breath to concentrate.

Chen Zilong understood from the beginning that his greatest role in the face of the swarm of insects was his supernatural ability to transform into countless beings.

This is much more effective than rushing in with a stick.

Because when facing the Zerg, quality is no longer important; quantity is.

Unless your quality breaks through a certain limit, or as Chu Xuan puts it, that's planetary level!
Unless your casual strike is comparable to the Magic Cannon and can easily destroy a Zerg mothership.

Otherwise, they should stay here obediently and fight a war of offense and defense.

Only in this way can we withstand the attrition of these insect swarms.

Seeing Chen Zilong unleash his ultimate move right from the start, Li Xiao gave a wry smile before muttering:

"Enter overclocking mode!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, dozens of flying swords radiating powerful auras shot out in one go, much to the astonishment of Zhan Lan from the Demon Team.

Then, activating his indestructible body, he grabbed the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Black Sword and charged in.

This was also the first of the two teams to charge out.

Although Li Xiao was restricted to staying within one kilometer of the church, his flying sword was not.

Facing these warrior worms and tank worms, Li Xiao felt as if he had entered an empty field.

Already at the pinnacle of his skills, he was transformed into a human meat grinder with the added boost of overclocking mode.

Li Xiao, considering his physical condition, only began the first stage of gene locking.

Without further ado, it's right in front of the church.

A whirlwind of sword blades, consisting of more than a dozen flying swords, swept across half the battlefield.

Although the flying swords, each with its own unique color and design, cannot compare to the props of some people, they are still sufficient to deal with these insectoids who are nothing more than cannon fodder.

It can be said that wherever it went, there was nothing but devastation and bloodshed. The yellow blood inside the warrior worm was smeared layer upon layer.

The shredded meat, no longer recognizable, rolled either forward or backward.

But such a scene of carnage.

It appeared for less than a second before being overwhelmed again by the dense swarm of insects behind it, continuing what had just happened.

Li Xiao, who had initially felt quite accomplished, fell silent upon seeing this scene.

On the other side.

Thick, black flames burst forth from the shadows.

Zheng Zha possessed the body and rushed out.

At the same time, the broadsword in his hand, formed from black flames, began to extend continuously.

In the end, it actually reached a size of forty or fifty meters.

Then he swung it violently in Zheng Zha's hand.

It cleared out an entire area.

The swarm of insects covered in black flames disappeared one by one.

Even the scraps are nowhere to be found.

Zhan Lan stood in a relatively central position, and the omnipresent telekinesis became the most useful auxiliary means in the world of overclocking.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why everyone agrees that Zhang Jie should act as the "server".

Because on such a "small" battlefield, one psychokinetic user is enough.

The warrior worms were wiped out in large numbers, and then pushed away and covered by the rear.

However, this scene did not last long.

Just then, Amy, who was connected to everyone's mental energy, suddenly spoke:
"Everyone, a large number of flying creatures have appeared in the distance and are rapidly approaching this area."

"At their speed, they probably have less than a minute left, and there are a lot of them..."

As she spoke, Amya shared the images she saw with her "eyes" with everyone's minds in a synchronized manner.

Yes, it's the eyes.

Zhang Jie maintains the overclocking world, while Zhan Lan provides support.

Of the two teams, only the blonde girl, Amya, remained as a psychic.

Upon landing, this person unabashedly took out an eyeball the size of a fist and pressed it decisively onto his forehead.

Although the main god has restricted the range of mental scanning, it cannot restrict visual perception.

It should be noted that, putting aside others, Li Xiao's eyesight alone is sufficient to see insects about a kilometer away.

Not to mention snipers like Zero.

The Demons were clearly prepared.

Or perhaps the other party has already foreseen the day when their mental strength will be limited.

So this eye came in handy at that moment.

[Magic Cultivation Item: All-Seeing Eye]

Also known as the Eye of God, the All-Knowing Eye, or the Eye of Providence.

Possessing the ability to know everything, see clearly, and monitor.

Wearing it provides a bird's-eye view overlooking a radius of ten kilometers.

One B-grade side quest, worth 7500 reward points.

The only reason Amy is taking it out and wearing it now is because of the side effects.

After using the All-Seeing Eye for an extended period of time, the amount of information accumulated in the brain will increase, eventually leading to insanity.

Such negative effects can only be cured by returning to the Main God Space.

And this was clearly not the first time Amy had used it.

But now, as we enter the world of overclocking.

Amy suddenly realized that the information from the All-Seeing Eye was also slowing down in this world, which was slowed down by two hundred times.

Because the information flow slowed down, she was able to process some information on a trial basis, thus preventing the formation of too many chronic problems.

Although there were still some difficulties in the end, it was much better than the reckless approach when using the All-Seeing Eye.

Even at this moment, she was able to multitask, observing the situation within a ten-mile radius while taking out a laser ion gun to help kill any stalks that managed to get close.

Of course, such a prop also has its drawbacks, namely that it only provides a line of sight and does not have X-ray vision.

Moreover, it's an overhead view, so as long as there are rooms or obstructions, people inside the house are completely invisible.

Regardless, given the limitations on mental energy scanning, such an item is still quite valuable.

In the air, a dense buzzing sound grew closer and closer.

"coming!"

After the sound came out at midnight, everyone nearby looked up.

The Zerg's flying units appear to be a hybrid of dragonflies and locusts.

It is not large, only about three meters in size, but the two pairs of wings on its back are twice the size of its body, that is, six meters in size.

Their enormous, semi-transparent wings give them extremely fast flight speeds.

Moreover, apart from the wings, the lower hind limbs had a sharp, metallic sheen.

It looks like a sickle, as if it could easily tear a person to pieces.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhan Lan, who was looking up, immediately took out a pure white bone horn from her spatial bag.

The horn was about half a meter long and wide, and it was covered with many strange symbols painted on it.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, this horn would look more like an artwork in an exhibition hall.

However, just as Zhan Lan took a deep breath and blew it towards it...

Visible red ripples emerged from it and spread towards the sky.

In the midst of the originally noisy battlefield, the deep sound of horns rang out, and for a moment only this sound remained.

[Magic Cultivation Item: War Horn]

One C-level side quest, worth 2300 reward points.

Amidst the sound of horns, the flying insectoids that had not yet approached began to panic and become confused.

Originally, their goal was very clear, but at this moment, with the sound of the horn, some flew back, while others crashed directly into their own kind.

Moreover, because the wings are so huge and so numerous, one of them often leads the surrounding group to change direction after it leaves the group.

Some even flew directly to the ground and began attacking the Zerg on the ground as if committing suicide.

With a mere swipe of its sharp, scythe-like hind legs, the warrior insect on the ground was sliced ​​in two.

Of course, these flying insects were also attacked and bitten by even more warrior insects.

Everyone was surprised to see the chaotic sky.

It goes without saying that you can guess the approximate capabilities of this horn.

It should inflict confusion or disorientation effects on enemy units.

The problem is that there are just too many of these flying insects in sight.

Even if 90% of them lose their way and fail to reach their final destination.

But even the remaining ten percent is already overwhelming.

Even their ferocious wings blocked out the sky above them.

Zhan Lan continued playing, but some stragglers kept slipping through the net and getting close to them.

Before even making a move, Zhao Yingkong tilted her head back and murmured, "Enter overclocking mode!"

The gaze is fixed, and the sound is drawn out.

Seeing everything around her slowing down, the girl raised her long sword and pointed it at the sky.

"The heavens descend, the earth locks, the firmament cracks, and all things fall silent!"

"The Eighty-One Binding Path: Severing Emptiness!"

A terrifying, surging white spiritual pressure erupted from the girl.

All they heard was a whooshing sound from above.

A huge, transparent barrier cut across the top of the church, covering the entire church and its central area.

The first flying Zerg to arrive were unable to slow down and crashed into it.

Zhao Yingkong kept talking as she witnessed this scene.

"Your Majesty! Masks of flesh and blood, all things, wings fluttering..."

"Hado #33, Azure Flame Falls!"

The incantation of the Ghost Path during accelerated time is almost indistinguishable from an instant cast.

Pale white flames surged from the Zanpakuto in his hand, flying upwards and expanding before exploding.

These pale white flames are almost contagious; once you're infected, you absolutely can't get rid of them.

After unleashing this attack, Zhao Yingkong simply leaped up and charged into the flying insects, fighting while occasionally releasing several large-scale Ghost Dao attacks.

This being, standing on the Spirit Continent, possessed aerial mobility virtually identical to that on land, allowing for complete freedom of movement. (End of Chapter)
