Chapter 999 - - To learn superior skills from foreign teachers

—————✧✧✧✧—————

One hundred and fifty trillion in spiritual power was quickly delivered.

On the virtual screen.

Duge, who had been possessed, suddenly began struggling in pain.

He writhed for a full three minutes, his face contorted, muscles bulging, and even fine beads of blood oozed from the pores all over his body, making him look like a blood-soaked figure.

The terrifying scene alarmed Thorne God-King and others, who rushed forward to check on Duge’s condition.

In the face of the concerned crowd, Duge, pale as a ghost, weakly waved his hand and gritted his teeth, “Gentlemen, the soul that has possessed me this time is stronger than before; I might not be able to hold on. If you find that someone else has taken over my body, make sure to kill me immediately without any hesitation…”

…

Watching Duge’s performance, silence fell in the Pan-Universal Headquarters so profound that one could hear a pin drop.

Tu Shan’s eye twitched involuntarily; this scoundrel was playing them for fools. The process of spiritual possession had always been calm; even if there was pain, it would never last for three whole minutes.

This cunning fellow was clearly deceiving them into continuing to send people to possess his body…

He must have benefited from the process of possession!

Chairman Tu Shan’s heart ached as the Regent had mobilized resources from his Pan-Universe Entertainment; in the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred trillion in spiritual power had gone to waste, utterly profligate!

“Regent, should we continue testing?” asked Speaker of the Council, Shen Long, “Duge is likely using a false performance to cover up his weakness, making us believe he is bluffing so we dare not continue to send people to possess him. Of course, he could also be luring us to continue the possession to benefit from it…”

Tu Shan was taken aback, sweat beading on his forehead; there was another layer to consider—Duge was too slick.

“No need to test further,” the Regent dismissed Duge’s performance, his gaze growing even hotter as he turned towards Meng Ping, “Meng Ping, lead the troops and deploy into the universe where Duge is located, harvest the civilizations within.

Duge relies on The Power of Faith and ‘Spring Heart is Sprouting’ to pull at one thread and affect the whole web of harvesting attributes; if the universe is devoid of people, all his attributes will surely stagnate. Once we leave him completely alone, we need not worry about not being able to deal with him…”

“Regent, we don’t have enough time!” Meng Ping said, “Duge’s power is increasing rapidly, and he has taken the ‘Chaos’ keyword. Our mass slaughter on the Alien Battlefield will boost his power growth. Once he has the strength to break through the barriers of the universe, even if we empty the universe, we won’t be able to catch him.”

He was merely questioning the success rate of the strategy but did not object to the slaughtering of the universe; having harvested civilizations for entertainment repeatedly, they had long since come to view life with extreme disdain.

“We can if we’re fast enough,” the Regent said, “Looking at all of Duge’s actions, he has always protected the underprivileged; he won’t watch us kill without intervention. If he breaks through the universe barriers and enters another universe, then we will chase him and kill; he can’t possibly be faster at breaking through universe barriers than our ability to project…”

After a moment’s silence, Meng Ping said, “Gagar, are you certain you want to oppose Duge? Our people don’t have physical bodies, losing even one in battle is a loss for us. Without Alien Warriors paving the way, our troops deployed directly into the Alien Battlefield could suffer significant losses, and our race could face the risk of extinction.”

“Meng Ping, I am well aware of how precious our warriors are,” the Regent sighed and said, “The growth rate of Alien Warriors is too slow; by the time they cultivate their bodily attributes and skills, we’ll no longer be able to reach Duge.”

Another silence.

Everyone present knew that Duge was good at Blitzkrieg, but they couldn’t disrupt his rhythm.

They were even in a tougher spot than the Alien Warriors.

Because what they faced was a fully-formed Duge, not only already powerful but also possessed of twenty-one skills.

However, they had an advantage over Duge; they could always monitor his movements and respond in a timely manner.

For instance.

They could avoid Duge’s current location, start purging in remote areas first, and the moment they detected movement from Duge…

Moreover, if the Alien Warriors found themselves outmatched, they could always summon back their own warriors to redeploy elsewhere, preserving their vital forces.

In the early stages of the war, they would never confront Duge directly, thereby gradually eroding his base and dismantling his power foundation.

…

“I’ve merely made a suggestion; if anyone has something to add, please feel free to speak,” said the Regent, “The secrets carried by Duge are critical to our future, even the fate of our people; any plans against him must be perfect.”

“Regent, we might start with Duge’s Clone in the Companion Universe.” Tu Shan had almost shown fear earlier, but now an idea struck him like a flash, asking, “Duge’s Clone currently still has only two skills; we could use external forces to release the hidden skills within him.”

“Tu Shan, are you referring to the God Annihilator Cannon?” Speaker of the Council Jia Long said.

“Yes. It was after being hit by the God Annihilator Cannon that Duge revealed his,” Tu Shan said, “I think we can replicate that scenario using the God Annihilator Cannon. If we’re sure that it can activate Duge’s hidden skills, then we can continuously deploy Duge’s Clone into the Alien Battlefield, repeat this operation until we create a batch of bodies with twenty-one skills.”

The Regent’s eyes lit up, signaling him to continue.

“Duge’s Clone does not possess as much spiritual power as the main body,” Tu Shan looked around at everyone, saying, “Even if hit by the God Annihilator Cannon, he would still be out of our control, and it would be much easier for our people to possess him; at least it wouldn’t require so much spiritual power.”
