Transcending Godhood: I Extract Keywords and Crush the Gods
Chapter 174: Confronting the Elysium Buff
Chu Xiaoxiao's face darkened immediately after hearing the goblin merchant's words.
Has Lin Yuan already begun to take the initiative and sweep across the Central Plains?
It hasn't been that long.
It hadn't even been two days since everyone entered the Rubik's Cube world.
Limited by the altar's cooldown and initial resources, most people haven't even summoned their second wave of troops yet.
Many people are still figuring out the city's defense mechanisms, or leading dozens of followers to plunder resources in the wild.
What gave Lin Yuan the audacity to divide his forces and launch an attack, and even level five cities?
Is this a hidden mechanism of the "General" identity card, or a special ability of Lin Yuan's abnormal relatives?
"Are you sure it's Lin Yuan?" Chu Xiaoxiao stared at the goblin merchant, her tone chilling.
The goblin merchant shrank back and nodded repeatedly.
"I don't know, but that army is flying the banner of 'Abyss Blood,' and now the entire Central Plains is in chaos, with refugees everywhere."
Chu Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed.
She pressed on, "How many people were in that army? What was their troop composition? Did Lin Yuan himself participate?"
The goblin merchant spread his hands with a bitter expression.
"Sir, I am just a small-scale traveling merchant. How could I dare to go near such a battlefield?"
"I heard that wherever that army went, they scraped the ground three feet high."
"Don't even mention getting close; even if you're a thousand miles away, you might not escape unscathed."
A hint of annoyance flashed in Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"Get lost."
The goblin merchant, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, scrambled out of the hall.
Inside the main hall, Chu Xiaoxiao sat on the city lord's throne, her expression shifting between light and shadow.
She realized she had seriously underestimated Lin Yuan.
Under the rule that there are limited summoning altars and that one can only summon once per day.
How exactly did Lin Yuan manage to gather tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of troops in just half a day?
Is this a hidden ability of the "General" identity card, or an abnormal ability of the Lin Yuan Divine Realm's followers?
Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it.
But she knew one thing very well.
We absolutely cannot let Lin Yuan continue to snowball like this.
Once Lin Yuan has consolidated the Central Plains, his next step will definitely be to march south or north.
At that time, no one will be able to stop him.
"We must speed things up." Chu Xiaoxiao stood up and looked down at the eight mechanical puppet deities standing below.
It's pointless to dwell on the source of Lin Yuan's troops now.
The most urgent task is to take advantage of Lin Yuan's continued rampage in the Central Plains and infect more students as soon as possible.
Gather intelligence on their location and turn them into your puppets before Lin Yuan kills them.
"Pass on my orders."
Chu Xiaoxiao pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, a resolute glint in her eyes.
"Use all the wealth in the Golden Toad City's treasury to purchase resources and intelligence from surrounding cities and traveling merchants."
"You eight, form two groups, take your mechanical companions, and set off immediately."
"Find the locations of the other deities and take action immediately."
"Cripple them, then use my mechanical plague to assimilate them all."
The eight mechanical puppets knelt on one knee in unison, emitting a cold metallic scraping sound.
"Yes, ma'am."
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the empty hall and smiled coldly.
This battle for lordship is all about who can move faster and who can use more ruthless methods.
Lin Yuan, we'll see.
……
In the Central Plains region, at the General's Mansion.
In the central square, the light from the five altars faded.
Lin Yuan completed his second summoning.
Limited by the altar's single summon limit, this time the scale is the same as the first time.
Ten thousand mutated demonic bats, ten thousand liquid gold crabs, one hundred double-sequence tyrants, and ten thousand mutated bone fish.
And, a special unit.
Insect King.
Lin Yuan looked at the humanoid insect standing in the center of the altar, which was only two meters tall and had six wings on its back, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
The king of the Devouring Sky Insect Clan.
The most intelligent and commanding being in the Wasteland God Realm.
With the arrival of the Insect King, the atmosphere in the entire square changed completely.
Lin Yuan's current forces are still mainly composed of the natives he has been recruiting from the wilderness.
Human soldiers, refugees, fishermen, slaves, and demons.
These creatures, who possess no extraordinary background, are empowered by the rules governing the "General" status.
Lin Yuan bestowed upon him the name "Yuan Xue" and threw him into one of the eight major military buildings in the city to change his class.
Blood Slaughter Infantry, Wind and Thunder Cavalry, Giant Beast Knight, Shadow Assassin, Warlock, Scout, Military Medic, Heavy Firepower Infantry.
In just one day, the number of this indigenous army had swelled to 200,000.
With the addition of the Wasteland Familiars summoned twice, Lin Yuan's forces were vast, but also bloated.
Although the tyrant is unparalleled in combat power, he is a reckless man who, apart from leading the charge and packing resources, does not understand what troop deployment is.
Now, the Insect King has arrived.
The Insect King knelt on one knee and bowed to Lin Yuan with his hand on his chest.
Then it stood up and its compound eyes scanned the entire area.
hum!
An immense, suffocating spiritual force erupted radiating outwards from the Insect King.
The mental energy transformed into countless invisible threads, connecting to the minds of every Wasteland Familiar and every Abyss Blood Soldier.
The Zerg's unique mental network took over the entire army at this moment.
The previously somewhat chaotic army of 200,000 men instantly fell silent.
At this moment, the breathing, heartbeats, and steps of all the soldiers reached an astonishing unity.
The Insect King stood on the high platform, not saying a word, but issuing commands through the mental network.
The army moved.
It's no longer the chaotic, flat push of before.
The Blood Slaughter infantry raised their heavy shields, forming an impregnable iron wall formation.
The Wind and Thunder Cavalry and the Giant Beast Knights split into two wings, ready to cut and slash at any time.
The warlocks and heavy infantry were protected in the center of the formation, with their staffs and cannons aimed at the high altitude.
The mutated demonic blade bats took to the air and mingled with the eagles in the scout eagle nest, forming a three-dimensional reconnaissance network with varying altitudes.
The Liquid Gold Crab burrows underground and, in coordination with the Shadow Assassin, constructs an invisible underground defense line.
The Calamity Fire Spirit and the Violent Demon were scattered by the Insect King and placed at the forefront of the infantry formation as the vanguard.
It can hit exactly where you point it, as easily as using your own arm.
Lin Yuan stood on the city wall, looking at this fierce and powerful army that had undergone a transformation in an instant, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Go, take over the entire Central Plains."
The Insect King bowed slightly, then flashed and merged into the army.
Two hundred thousand troops marched out of the city gates in a grand procession, spreading in all directions.
Lin Yuan turned around and glanced at the supply warehouse behind him.
full.
Even the backyard of the city lord's mansion was piled with star-patterned steel and monster corpses.
The strategy of using war to sustain war has already created a snowball effect.
The Central Plains region is falling completely.
After the Insect King took over command, the advance speed increased more than tenfold.
The gods and spirits of this land are facing their darkest hour.
Regardless of whether they are powerful figures in the third tier who own medium-sized cities.
They were still in the fourth tier, bandits who could only wage guerrilla warfare in the wilderness.
Once you're detected by the Blood Abyss Army's reconnaissance network, there's only one outcome.
He got beaten up.
Moreover, it was a brutal beating in which the victim had no chance to fight back.
In front of a city of earth and stone built in a valley.
Chen Yan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the tightly packed military formation outside the city.
Before he could even finish summoning his followers, a barrage of meteors rained down from the enemy's sorcerer camp.
Immediately afterwards, the Liquid Gold Crab destroyed the foundation of the city wall from underground, and the Violent Demon led the charge, smashing the city gate with a single punch.
The battle lasted less than ten minutes.
Chen Yan was forcibly kicked out of the Rubik's Cube world.
In a dense jungle.
The fourth-tier assassin, Lin Ying, is leading dozens of defeated soldiers into hiding.
He thought he had hidden himself very well.
As a result, the demonic blade bats in the sky emitted a round of ultrasonic waves for positioning.
The underground amorphous source insects broke through the soil and wrapped them up like dumplings.
Before Lin Ying could even beg for mercy, she was burned into white light by the karmic fire.
Push horizontally.
Infinite flat push.
Lin Yuan's army was like a bulldozer, ruthlessly crushing all resistance forces in the Central Plains.
At this moment, in the gloomy sky on the edge of the Central Plains.
A bone dragon, eight meters long, weaves through the clouds.
The eerie blue flames of its soul flickered violently in its eye sockets.
"Holy crap..."
The bone dragon lowered its massive head, staring in disbelief at the horrific scene unfolding on the ground below. The entire dragon was utterly dumbfounded.
What kind of place is this?
Its master, Bai Ye, sent it to the Central Plains to deliver a message, saying that there was a formidable man named Lin Yuan who wanted to form an alliance with him.
The bone dragon was initially quite confident.
It is, after all, a Platinum-tier undead overlord.
But now, it looked down at the army that covered the mountains and plains, disciplined and with an aura that was more abnormal than the last.
Shivering.
It saw a muscular giant with wings smash a mountain flat with a single punch.
It saw a group of monsters engulfed in black fire turn the water of a river into blocks of iron, and smash the entire city to pieces.
It even saw that the black birds in the sky, after they died, were space bombs carrying plague.
"If someone were to get close enough, they'd definitely be torn to pieces and boiled into soup!"
The bone dragon swallowed a non-existent saliva, flapped its bone wings, and tried to turn around and run away.
Even those at the Transcendent level would have to kneel before him!
Just as it was about to slip away.
On a hilltop below, several heavily armed anti-aircraft crossbowmen had already locked onto it.
At the same time, hundreds of mutated demonic bats broke away from the formation and transformed into black lightning, instantly surrounding it.
The bone dragon froze in mid-air, not daring to move.
It wisely raised its two front paws, making a human-like gesture of surrender.
"Don't lay a hand on us! We're on the same side! I'm just delivering a message!"
The bone dragon shouted using its mental power.
Several Bloodthirsty scouts riding Netherworld Hounds took to the air and surrounded them.
They eyed the undead creature warily, their spears pointed directly at the bone dragon's head.
"What are you yelling about, you skinny bony guy?" A scout captain frowned.
The indigenous army could not understand the language of the undead, nor could they receive the spiritual energy frequency of the bone dragon.
The bone dragon grew anxious, gesturing wildly and pointing to a sheepskin letter tucked between its ribs.
Seeing that it was behaving well and had no intention of attacking, the scout captain was unsure what to do.
"Captain, this thing looks quite rare. Why don't we kill it and take the bones back to the medical camp to make medicine?" a soldier suggested.
The bone dragon was so frightened that its soul fire shrank, and it shook its head repeatedly.
Fortunately, at that moment, a dual-sequence berserker emerged from the ground.
The tyrant glanced at the bone dragon, then stretched out his large hand, grabbed the bone dragon by the neck, and lifted it up like a chick.
Upon seeing this, the Bloodstained Soldiers quickly made way for them.
The demon unfurled its wings of the void behind it, carrying the bone dragon, and flew straight toward the general's mansion.
……
The General's Mansion, the Imperial Harem.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade bed, his brows furrowed.
He exuded a chilling murderous aura, lowering the temperature of the entire room to freezing point.
Outside the room, the faint sounds of a woman's laughter and the music of string and wind instruments could be heard.
Lin Yuan is very irritable right now.
I'm extremely irritable.
The power of the "Paradise" buff, which reduces intelligence, far exceeded his expectations.
These past few days, the General's Mansion has been automatically updating with dozens of stunningly beautiful women every day.
Fox spirit, succubus, elf, catwoman, mermaid, princess, witch...
It has all kinds of races and customs.
These women have no fighting ability; their only mission is to seduce Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously at first.
He didn't even bother to glance at them, and directly ordered all the women to be driven to the backyard, strictly forbidding them from approaching the main hall.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Even if he doesn't touch these women, he won't even see them.
His sanity level continues to decline at a slow but irreversible rate.
This decline doesn't directly turn someone into an idiot.
It subtly amplifies inner desires and weakens the defenses of will.
Lin Yuan found that his gaze was unconsciously lingering on the maids who happened to pass by.
From time to time, some beautiful images flash through my mind.
The circulation of the divine fire within his body even showed a slight stagnation.
"Does the smaller head control the larger head?"
Lin Yuan sneered.
This is not in line with his character.
Deep down, he is a rational, even somewhat cold-hearted person.
"This negative buff is really something else."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, mobilized the divine power in his spiritual sea to suppress the churning blood and desires within his body.
He transformed reason into a cold blade, severing inappropriate thoughts again and again.
Sweat trickled down his forehead and dripped onto his dark red heavy armor.
This kind of confrontation is even more energy-consuming than fighting against gods of the same rank.
But he had to suppress it.
Once his sanity drops below the critical point, he will become a humanoid beast who only knows how to reproduce.
"General."
A respectful voice came from outside the door from General Yuanxue.
"Lord Tyrant has brought back a bone dragon, saying it surrendered voluntarily. Please decide, General."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
The bloodshot in my eyes faded, and my vision temporarily returned.
"Bring it to the main hall."
He stood up and strode out of the room.
As I passed through the corridor, several scantily clad fox-eared girls carrying fruit platters approached me in a coquettish manner.
"General, you've worked hard, have some grapes..."
"No need, go away."
Lin Yuan casually waved his hand, stepped over them, and walked towards the main hall.
Inside the main hall.
The bone dragon lay on the ground, with two monstrous demons staring at it from the left and right.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan enter, the Bone Dragon dared not be negligent.
He quickly used his paws to pull a crumpled piece of parchment from between his ribs and handed it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took the parchment, unfolded it, and took a look.
Above was Bai Ye's flamboyant, overly dramatic handwriting, brimming with a chuunibyou (delusional) vibe.
"Brother Lin Yuan, it's as if I'm seeing you in person..."
Lin Yuan quickly scanned the contents of the letter.
Bai Ye wants to form an alliance.
He saw right through Bai Ye's scheme; all that talk of brotherhood was utter nonsense.
However, Lin Yuan was not averse to it.
Although Bai Ye is cunning, he has never been malicious towards me and even provided me with a lot of information when I first arrived at Starry Sky University.
He's practically a friend to me.
"An alliance is possible."
Lin Yuan drew his fingers together like a sword, forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip, and wrote a large "可" (ke, meaning "allowed") on the back of the sheepskin.
Then he threw it with force.
"Go back and tell Bai Ye." Lin Yuan looked at the ancient dragon on the ground and continued:
"Tell him to keep an eye on the coordinates of other students and let me know if there's any sign of a coalition."
The bone dragon nodded and quickly flew out of the main hall, fleeing this place of trouble.
Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes again.
The divine fire continued to scorch the sea of consciousness, resisting the erosion of the rules of bliss.
He always felt that this negative buff's ability was more than just simply to disgust him.
Wen Muxue, or rather, there is another purpose behind this Rubik's Cube.
