Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1246 - 327: Prelude to War, No Sense of Achievement
The gaze now shifts towards the map's Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
With an aerial view, the sight pierces through the thick black fog and descends on the Evil Eye Tower Platform.
The Earth Thought Evil Spirit and Evil Eye are like two mascots, forever stationed on this small plot, only observing the outside through perception.
[Boss, looks like so are we.]
Qi Sheng: ...
At this moment, three united battle groups are simultaneously launching yet another charge towards the Evil Eye Tower.
Being indefatigable is not the nature of players; it's the gain from sacrificial power that drives them.
Failure has never crushed the essence of players, and with each failure, sacrificial power still accounts.
Facing the assault from three player corps, Earth Thought Bully and Evil Eye combine, initiating the tactical command mode.
In a flash, the black fog surrounding the tower gushes and spreads across the land, with Evil Spirits dropping like raindrops.
After the tactical upgrade, Earth Thought Bully's level of annoyance in players' eyes has increased yet again.
Especially with the recent appearance of the Demon Seed Army (Tide of Suffering).
Players suspect this is a new species of Evil Spirit Soldiers created by Earth Thought Bully just to annoy them.
Despite lacking in destructive power, it possesses the ability to inflict ongoing emotional pain on targets.
Despair, suffering, sadness, angerβthe Demon Seed Army is in players' eyes an even more vile existence than the Catastrophe Series Soldiers.
Though the emotional impact is erased entirely by the Purification System upon players' deaths, leaving no trace of negative emotions even in recollections, the battle process is extremely torturous.
Various emotions overlap, doubling the suffering for players.
The Tide of Suffering tactic originally was tolerable.
Though emotional damage is frightening, players have their own mental safety lines.
By gritting their teeth through the initial torment, they can trigger the Purification System's protection, completely exempting the pain from emotional harm.
Like the fatigue felt during a long run, breaking through the extreme can instantly bring relief.
But the most terrifying aspect of Earth Thought Bully is its collection of battle data and improvement of combat schemes.
It makes mistakes but doesn't repeat them.
On observing players' "suffering overload" issue that completely nullifies emotional damage, Earth Thought Bully initiates a pain test experiment.
Using different players as reference points for detailed observation.
Ultimately, it found the safety threshold line of players' pain.
Discovering as long as the threshold isn't breached, the pain imposed on players can persist indefinitely.
Next, Earth Thought Bully weakened the output intensity of the Demon Seed Army.
Not aiming to deliver extreme pain, but enduringly persistent.
Players shall suffer unstoppable pain as long as they invade.
In response, players curse continually, denouncing Earth Thought Bully as unbearably disgusting, akin to a beast.
There have been hundreds of factions that have battled against players.
In the eyes of other races, kill efficiency is always a top priority.
But Earth Thought Bully sees differently, recognizing that players can't be wiped out, preferring to abandon output efficiency to prioritize "disgust" above all.
Discarding the method of killing players through emotional shock, aiming for them to feel continual pain onslaught.
That is why in players' eyes, no other force is as terrifying as Earth Thought Bully.
The beastly bully truly possesses a "Player Guide."
And a guidebook that updates synchronously with the development of the Player Faction.
No matter what players have, Earth Thought Bully can swiftly find a countering scheme.
Both sides find the other disgusting, their mindsets similarly aligned.
In players' eyes, they are the Child of Destiny of this Monster World game, born with cheats, destined to reign over this world.
And the monsters from Newbie Village should be easy to kill, producing reasonable rewards, helping newcomers grow quickly.
Yet entangled with a Newbie Village BOSS for two years, still without victory.
What kind of garbage monster is this, its strength way over the balance?
Only the word "disgusting" aptly describes Earth Thought Bully's growth.
Conversely, Earth Thought Bully's mindset is similar.
In its view, it's part of the Black Tide Army that devours myriad worlds, born to bring death and destruction as a natural disaster to countless worlds.
Being one of the strongest graduates of Abyssal Trials, pride is etched in its bones.
Although aware of the vastness of Monster World, filled with countless terrifying lives and powerful clans.
But the Player Clan is merely its first small objective in entering Monster World, originally meant to be easily crushed, then commence the journey to the World Summit, competing with various Strong Clans being the peak path.
Yet so much time has passed, still fighting players.
This never ends.
That initial threshold, crossed countless times, yet never overcame.
Its ability is advancing, Black Tide's intensity is advancing, Evil Eye's perception and calculation ability is advancing⦠yet opponents remain those damned players.
Each time Black Tide's intensity advances, there is no sense of achievement whatsoever.
Because the moment it advances, it knows the opponent remains unchanged.
In contrast to the stage as a non-commanding Evil Spirit Warrior, with its power growth bringing challenges against stronger opponents in Small World.
Killing previously unbeatable foes brings a sense of complete achievement.
Different powers present different opponents.
But in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area, under control, Black Tide's intensity during the First Palace fights against stupid players, now advanced to the Ninth Palace, still fighting stupid players.
So, the power escalated for nothing.
Disgusting, disgusted to high heaven!
Both parties find the other's strength unreasonable, questioning the setup.
In players' eyes, Newbie Village BOSS shouldn't have such strength, officials should have nerfed it long ago. πππππ¬πππ·ππΏππ‘.ππΈπ
In Earth Thought's perspective, this is its debut battle as a Command Type Evil Spirit, the king should have assigned it a reasonable environment for growth, like Ghost Teeth, Iron Spine, Blood Pattern, growing with a step-by-step process.
Encountering what kind of unparalleled monsters.
Not only difficult but without resource output, each war results in negative yield.
Even when victorious, all it brings is negative emotions.
Especially in the Player Clan, there is a commander stronger than Evil Eye.
How can this be an opponent a new commander can handle?
Screw you!
Each time comparing other allies' opening treatments, Earth Thought Bully always feels immeasurably suffocated.
A sentence in its heart unable to hold back:
Stupid king, where did you send me, screw you!
