Chapter 179: Plan A and Plan B
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wang Ye and the others arrived at Peace Ocean.
Cosmic monster N0.3 and cosmic monster No.7 had already joined forces. To be precise, the Sea King Merman controlled the Conger Eel Demon.
They were both intelligent demons, so they would naturally seek good fortune and avoid danger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Water arrows shot out, and waves surged.
The Sea King Merman welcomed Wang Ye’s arrival with its actions. It was like a moving cannon, merciless.
Hiding in the sea, the Sea King Merman’s attacks were shockingly sharp.
This was its territory!
Wang Ye held his twin sabers tightly and defended.
In an instant, the Nine Qi Saber Control Technique exploded toward the Sea King Merman!
Saber energy split open the ocean, revealing his strength.
The water tornado surged as the Electromagnetic Spell landed.
Wang Ye used the Manifestation Spell to form an ability shield. Then, he charged into the ocean with his saber and faced the Sea King Merman head-on.
Lightning flashed on the surface of the sea, and the Conger Eel Demon appeared. Lin Hao and Lin Yuewei attacked at the same time.
The battle on the surface of the sea was intense.
Cooperation?
Fundamentally, both parties had to have equal strength.
Otherwise, the other party might not even look at them properly in the eye.
The Sea King Merman, who had broken through to the cosmic level, had extraordinary strength.
In particular, its control over the water element was simply superb. Its attack and defense were airtight, and there was no gap to be found.
“Keng!” Suddenly, the Sea King Merman let out a sharp hiss.
The sound pierced through Wang Ye’s eardrums and went straight into his soul.
Wang Ye’s psyche trembled continuously. The power was at least the stage 3 Soul Tremble Spell!
Bang! The talent energy in Wang Ye’s star core exploded and instantly resisted.
His new talent was not only used for resurrection. It was as if the talent had given his star core a soul and energy, causing it to transform.
The Sea King Merman was hit hard by the rebound. The Cat Devour Bracelet on Wang Ye’s left hand lit up, and he retaliated with two Soul Tremble Spells.
Bang! Bang!
Two consecutive tremors accompanied Wang Ye’s Golden Horn Sabers’ explosive power. He wasn’t at a disadvantage. Even if the other party was at the cosmic level, he could still fight against it!
Furious!
The eyes of the Sea King Merman flashed. Just as it was about to return the attack, it suddenly heard a familiar language.
“Can we talk?” Wang Ye spoke in the common language of the demon race. The Sea King Merman was instantly stunned.
“How do you know our language? Are you a cosmic human?” The Sea King Merman’s battle intent instantly disappeared, and it slowly floated to the surface.
It had a fish’s tail and a human’s body, and its long green hair covered its huge breasts. The shells on its chest emitted a brilliant light.
No, you’re an evolved inferior human.” The Sea King Merman quickly reacted.
“You’re the one who’s inferior…” Wang Ye retorted in his heart but asked, “Why don’t you leave?”
Breaking through to the cosmic level would allow one to survive in the cosmic.
“Why should I?” The Sea King Merman returned the question.
“Don’t you want to go back to your hometown?” Wang Ye asked.
The Sea King Merman revealed a nostalgic expression and shook its head. “My hometown was destroyed a long time ago, and all my clansmen were killed.”
“Don’t you want revenge?” Wang Ye’s eyes were bright.
ii
Don’t be silly. Even if you’re a hundred times stronger, you won’t be able to take revenge.” The Sea King Merman sneered.
“We can work together. I’ll help you take revenge,” Wang Ye said.
The Sea King Merman glanced at Wang Ye. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. Inferior human, let me give you a piece of advice. If you don’t want to be captured and become a slave, stay here and enjoy your life. Don’t break through to the cosmic level and you can live for a long time.”
“You seem to know a lot.” Wang Ye stared at the Sea King Merman.
“Just move your head a little and you’ll know what’s going on.” The Sea King Merman looked at Wang Ye disdainfully. “It’s just that you stupid inferior humans have been kept in the dark all this time. You even thank Moon Web. It’s simply laughable.”
“So what are your plans?” Wang Ye ignored the other party’s mockery.
“To stay alive. Let’s make a deal,” The Sea King Merman said frankly. “If you humans don’t provoke me, I will only destroy some base cities symbolically. We’ll all just put on a good front and live happily, alright?”
Good heavens, it was not a merman but a lazy demon. Smart as it was, it was really a coward.
After chatting for a while, they stopped the fight.
Since Wang Ye and the Sea King Merman started chatting, Lin Yuewei and Lin Hao stopped fighting the Conger Eel Demon as well.
They watched as the two chatted happily as if they had established some tacit understanding. The two sides were just short of exchanging contact information.
In the end, the man and the demon bade each other farewell.
The Sea King Merman dove into the ocean and disappeared without a trace.
“Did you succeed?” Lin Yuewei’s crescent-shaped eyes curved as she said happily.
“I failed.” Wang Ye replied.
Lin Hao was also stunned. “Weren’t you two chatting very happily?”
No, it was just a few pleasantries.” Wang Ye looked at the sea and sighed helplessly. “This is a lazy demon. It’s very timid and doesn’t even want to provoke humans. It only wants to enjoy its remaining life lazily.”
Lin Yuewei was speechless.
Lin Hao’s mouth twitched. “I’d like to have some sashimi.”
Wang Ye shrugged.
Each demon had its ambition. Not all of them liked to fight and kill.
“What about the plan?” Lin Yuewei pursed her lips.
“If Plan A doesn’t work, we’ll execute Plan B.” Wang Ye didn’t hesitate.
His original plan was to use the Sea King Merman to deceive everyone.
It was just like how True Demon Aice had used cosmic monster N0.10, the Ocean Crocodile.
He would detonate himself, leaving his star core to be devoured and thus concealing his aura.
Then, he would let the Sea King Merman rely on its cosmic-level life level to penetrate the energy grid and avoid triggering the red light mechanism.
But he failed.
He hadn’t even had the chance to dish out his plan.
The Sea King Merman had no ambition, no hatred, and no desire for profit. It lay flat.
Although it couldn’t lay completely flat, it chose simply to accept reality.
Attacking the base cities was just a show, lest the higher-ups think that it did not put in any effort…
Wang Ye had seen many demons, but this was the first time he had seen one so spineless.
“What’s Plan B?” Lin Yuewei asked curiously.
“I’ll do it myself.” Wang Ye was very frank.
It was better to rely on oneself than on others.
Strength was king.
He opened his interface and his consciousness fell to the “+” after the Spirit Spell.
[Do you wish to spend 20,000 potential points to increase the stage of your Spirit Spell?]
[Yes.]
In the space of consciousness, he practiced the Spirit Spell day and night. A thousand times more time passed, and his comprehension became deeper and deeper.
In an instant, he was enlightened, and his Spirit Spell attainment increased by a level.
Breakthrough!
Stage 3 Spirit Spell!
Wang Ye looked at his remaining 2500 potential points.
Gone.
The family fortune that he had saved up with great difficulty had been spent. All of it was converted into strength.
“With the stage 3 Spirit Spell and the explosive power of my star core’s talent energy, there should be a chance.” Wang Ye thought to himself.
The African continent was a barren land filled with monsters.
However, after Wang Ye’s last sweep, there were very few super monsters left.
“So you want to control the Cosmic Giant Ape and make it break through to the cosmic level.” Lin Yuewei was deep in thought.
Lin Hao was shocked. His brother-in-law was really bold.
That was a cosmic monster!
Wang Ye hummed. “It and the Sea King Merman are both among the top three cosmic monsters, with the most outstanding talents and abilities. Since the Sea King Merman can break through, it can definitely do the same.”
He would achieve what he wanted through the Spirit Spell!
Using the Spirit Spell would not kill the cosmic monster, so it would not trigger the red light mechanism.
There was only one problem: Could he control it?
Wang Ye wasn’t confident either.
After all, the other party was a cosmic monster at the peak of level 9.
However, compared to the intelligent demon-type cosmic monsters, the behemoths were relatively easier to control… Right?
He wasn’t sure.
He would know once he tried.
Wang Ye quickly found the terrifying Cosmic Giant Ape.
It was dozens of meters tall and had a robust body that was covered entirely in black fur, making it look like a king-kong. Its terrifying muscles were explosive, and its strength had reached its peak. It was simply the definition of the term “behemoth”.
Its brutal aura and unpredictable combat strength far surpassed that of the Ocean Crocodile.
This was the true king of the continent!
“So strong…” Lin Hao was trembling, a physical reaction from facing the king of melee fighters.
His current strength was still far from the strongest of the three cosmic monsters.
At this moment, Wang Ye moved.
His two sabers shone with golden light, and boundless saber energy bloomed.
With condensed stage 3 combat energy, the Nine Qi Saber Control Technique was fully unleashed and revealed infinity might. It descended from the sky and swung fiercely at the mighty Cosmic Giant Ape.
Strongest on land?
That was only in the past!
If it was back during Wang Ye’s first trip to the African continent, he would indeed have had to avoid the other party.
But now… He could fight it head-on!
Wang Ye didn’t want to waste any time with the Cosmic Ape.
The Gravity Spell combined with the Electromagnetism Spell and the stage 3 Compression Spell bombarded it in close combat.
Under the double strengthening of the Golden Horn Sabers, the saber light turned into lightning bolts. The Meteor Descent Saber Technique was extremely fast!
The Cosmic Giant Ape was surrounded by saber lights, but no saber could be seen.
Wang Ye’s strength was fully displayed!
“Roar! Howl!” The Cosmic Giant Ape was gradually exhausted.
Its eyes were bloodshot as it waved its thick arms crazily, being played by Wang Ye.
Soon, its strong body was covered in blood.
So… So powerful!
Lin Hao was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw Wang Ye go all out. His eyes were filled with envy and admiration.
What was true strength?
This was it!
The number one melee fighter!
The current Wang Ye had completely surpassed Yao from back then. Even the Cosmic Giant Ape couldn’t do any harm to him.
Boom!
Shattered Stars! Meteorite Explosion!
Wang Ye’s twin sabers combined with Torrential Qi blasted the Cosmic Giant Ape to the ground.
The other party’s huge body landed like a collapsed building, sending dust flying everywhere.
Wang Ye’s figure abruptly appeared in the air. The saber lights were dense, not giving the Cosmic Ape a chance to get up.
Four Qi of Beacon Fire!
The saber light bloomed like beacon fires in the surroundings.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wang Ye went all out and attacked the Cosmic Giant Ape in all directions.
The latter’s strong body, which was covered in black fur, was dyed red.
As the attacks continued, the Cosmic Giant Ape’s movements gradually slowed, and its angry roars became weaker and weaker.
It could not continue.
Boom!
The shockingly strong Cosmic Giant Ape collapsed once again, its body twitching. Its blood-red eyes were still filled with fighting spirit and anger, but it was already too seriously injured to fight anymore.
Wang Ye held his dual sabers and hovered.
Whoosh!
Talent energy, stage 3 Spirit Spell!
His willpower fused into it, and an invisible beam of light shot straight into the Cosmic Giant Ape’s mind.
In an instant, the expression in the other party’s blood-red eyes changed, and its violently twitching body quieted down.
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
Control successful!
