I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1019 - 536: Third Boss – Corpse King

After finishing the meal, Shura left once again. The mental issues from the Great Heaven Realm recovered quickly, taking about three minutes from outbreak to recovery. Due to this, Shura didn't dare to mess with Wang Chao's hat, in case it caused more problems with the Great Heaven Realm.

One can only say that this piece of equipment is indeed useful, but it can only be used temporarily, as its side effects are too great and obvious. In a stable environment, it's fine, but during a battle, it could end up being a hindrance.

"It seems that some believers of the Bai Gui Sect haven't become monsters but have instead turned into zombies, fully retaining their self-awareness and even controlling several zombie communities," Shura observed the zombies in the city center. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Shura had long known about zombies having self-awareness and intelligence, but no matter how intact a zombie is, it would still be influenced by primal instincts, exhibiting beast-like behaviors that indirectly lower its intelligence.

However, this time the zombies are different; someone is controlling them. Shura suspects it's most likely the Sect Hierarch of the Bai Gui Sect.

The average believer, once convinced, is naturally loyal to the All Ghosts Survival Platform, willing to die if told, thinking nothing of becoming material for crafting strange entities, just a minor detail.

The Sect Hierarch is different. As a high-ranking member, they must be aware of some of the platform's secrets, possibly even being the first human to have contact with it, and, combined with their own abilities, likely discovering related issues.

If they didn't have the ability, how could they manage to do all these things under the encirclement of the entire human world?

So, instead of fusing into an unknown monster, becoming a zombie aligns more with their requirements.

Not only do they avoid suffering as monsters, but they also don't need to worry about being attacked by humans, let alone having their freedom restricted.

Compared to the entire city, the BOSS room is indeed too cramped.

Therefore, if the opponent truly became a zombie, in Shura's eyes, they would absolutely be the closest to a perfect form.

The reason it's only the closest is that zombies are inherently flawed; having issues is normal.

"I need to figure out a way to pry some information out of them."

"I wonder if *** would use methods like Soul Search. If so, I could just capture someone back."

Shura does not have skills like Soul Search or mind reading, but he has skills to guard against such abilities.

He's not specialized in this type of system. Even if he had the skills, they would merely perform normally.

For players, skills that perform normally are, in fact, quite average. They are fine for dealing with small monsters, but the effectiveness against elite monsters is significantly reduced, and even more so against a BOSS.

Most of what players face aren't easy opponents, thus the emergence of specialization systems.

However, there are cases like "water barrel" builds, though most are not worth it.

"Infiltration might not work, it could lead to trouble." Shura refrained from killing zombies due to the Gray Mist BOSS.

Tai Sui Gu is different; it's a monster, so devouring zombies won't draw the Gray Mist BOSS's attention. The identities are different, so naturally, the consequences of their actions differ.

Moreover, Tai Sui Gu has Gu Shanhai's modifications, which can significantly prevent such issues from occurring.

Of course, the reason Shura doesn't dare to infiltrate is that his stealth and invisibility aren't supported by a specialized system. He's worried he can't hide from these zombies, even with related aura support, he feels unsure.

If discovered and he could unleash his fury, Shura wouldn't be afraid.

However, based on the analysis provided by text hints, he really can't unleash his fury; the opponent's level is too high.

Especially the Corpse King, suspected to be the Sect Hierarch of the Bai Gui Sect, whose power is extremely strong.

Based on a rough estimate, it likely matches the strength of the last BOSS and even in its complete state.

This way, instead of saying there are two BOSSES, there are actually three, just that compared to the Gray Mist BOSS and the Shelter BOSS, the Corpse King is somewhat lacking.

"This level of strength is indeed hard to handle."

Shura is confident in a forceful kill, as he won with just the Seven-star Whip before, and now with a set of equipment including the Purple Gold Gourd, it shouldn't result in a loss.

But the cost of a forceful kill is something he can't bear.

With three BOSSES, the best strategy is to eliminate them together, maximizing the avoidance of being ganged up on.

A strategy for simultaneous elimination exists, as there are just three of them, each can take one.

"The Great Heaven Realm and Tai Sui Gu can join forces to kill the Corpse King; I will deal with the Gray Mist. The best candidate for the Shelter is ***, though it's unfortunate he's fallen short now, sigh." Shura sighed, not because he intentionally left the most difficult BOSS for Gu Shanhai, but because Gu Shanhai is the strongest; if not him, then who else?

The plan is good in theory, but infeasible in practice.

"Let's try to gather more intelligence on the Bai Gui Sect first."

Upon abandoning the infiltration plan, without a simple brute force solution, he has to choose a circuitous route.

This way, the effort required increases significantly.

It's not impossible, though—by controlling a high-ranking zombie and installing a miniature remote monitoring device on it, they can effectively infiltrate the enemy.

They don't need to find information directly related to the Corpse King; just finding intelligence on the Bai Gui Sect will suffice.

Then it can be brought back to Gu Shanhai for reference, accelerating the development of a reverse array.
