Chapter 1354 How To Beat Warriors.
Legion-5 said with disdain, "You better do that."
Then he warned, "And don't play any tricks. Bring out exactly what I asked for and nothing less. My patience has already been pushed to the limit with your attempt to negotiate with me so expect swift punishment if you try me again."
The supreme beast returned to his base and began sending orders. Golems moved about immediately. They brought out carts of resources one after the other. Because there are a lot of resources, it will take time to bring out 10% of it. Legion-5 was willing to wait and act like he didn't know what they were planning.
Their mobilization of troops was secret enough. In fact, they didn't have to try much to keep it from him. But they can't hide the amassment of troops and the mobilization of said troops as soon as he left his base from Legion-7.
He would be naive and foolish to believe that they are bringing those troops over to give them to him. He is neither of those things and he thinks the worst of people so he knows their motive.
Legion-7 chuckled. "These supreme beasts have grown up and become big boys now. They think they can rebel now that they are adults."
Legion-5 didn't mind. He shrugged and said, "I don't have to hold back either too. After all, they are adults now. They aren't kids to be sheltered. It is also good that they are going to gather up as one. I will be able to settle all of them once and end this rite of passage as soon as possible."
Legion-7 agreed. "Yes. Let's end the rite of passage. We need freedom and reduced observation to achieve the next step safely."
Then he advised, "I recommend that we become an Origin god first. That is the best assurance that you won't become corrupted by the world seed. I know I am the one that will bear most of the load of being the world spark but it is better to be safe than sorry."
They are already planning for what they will do when the rite of passage ends. His quest to become a World god without a Supreme law is not finished and it seems the next step on their agenda is to achieve immortality and have a concept to protect their existence from the likely corruption of a world seed.
This precaution is important because every fragment of a realm heart is dangerous. The world seed is not as dangerous as a world spark but its ability to bestow infinite potential for evolution is not a gift if he can't control the evolution. Evolution without direction is mutation. It is random and can be fatal. It is important to at least be able to stop themselves from succumbing to it even if they can't control the world seed.
Meanwhile, things are happening in the background. The supreme beasts noticed when he left his base. They saw a black armored figure leave the base that they had all been watching for years. He looks very different from what they know of him but that didn't stop them from moving into action immediately.
"Quick, quick." They roared. "He is out to steal our hard-earned resources again."
"We will show him that we are not to be taken advantage of without due repercussions."
"We have to be fast. His neighbors can't delay him for much longer."
Every single base still standing began mobilizing their firepower. But he was rushing his current tenant so they are running out of time. He refused to enter the base to chat and eat so they decided not to bring their armies except for the ones that they could carry the army with them like the enslavement class and the one-man army. Instead, they came alone and as fast as possible to stop him. The army will have to join them in battle.
Every Supreme beast in this alliance to stop him flew to his position immediately. They reviewed what they knew about him along the way.
"He is a warrior class. He has exceptional defense and speed. He has the suppression immunity of a dragon heart and the lightning breath that comes with it. He is capable of accumulating his attack to deal a single devastating blow. All in all, he is an exceptional warrior."
"He truly is an exceptional warrior but he is only a warrior. We will use the contingency plan for fighting Warrior class beings. Warriors will hold him down, Positive buffs will enhance our warriors and keep them alive, and negative buffs will create weaknesses in him. The one-man army will harass him and sacrifice their soldiers at critical times to keep us alive and to interrupt his attacks. Finally, scouts will kite him, look for openings, and deal defense penetrating attacks."
"We are counting on you scouts with burst damage. You are our best shot to bring him down. As for the special class, you should hang back and do what you can."
They have accumulated a lot of information about the Shadow of Despair over the years through his fight with the gods. Now they have made plans based on that information.
They are sure that he has changed over the years. They are certain of it considering the amount of points he took from them. He had to have done something with those points, but he is still a warrior, and the warrior class is well understood. If there is a weakness for the warrior class, it will be the scout class.
The scout class can't take a blow from warriors but warriors can rarely hit them either. Scouts on the other hand can deal devastating attacks to warriors. They focus on perception, evasion, speed, and burst damage.
Not all scouts have a high burst damage, but those that do can one-shot an enemy or at least grind them down with a torrent of fast penetrating attacks. This is their major reliance in the upcoming battle.
