Chapter 2240: Chapter 2240: On the Eve of the Final Battle’s Outbreak
The alliance split internally, collapsing from the upper class down. Du You had never anticipated such a thing to happen. Originally, he wanted to delay time a bit longer, but he hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
"What should we do next?" Du You said, feeling somewhat lost.
Lin Yucha pointed at the map: "There’s only one-tenth left. We can’t waste it. Let’s attack from these five directions directly and take it down first. The rest can be sorted out gradually, which will also speed things up."
Du You nodded: "Indeed, we are close to the final stage."
Suddenly, Du You said to Bai Zimo, "Xiaobai, don’t enter the Outer World during this time. When it’s the end, I’ll place you in my own special space. You can wait there for a while."
The final battle will undoubtedly be the most dangerous, and Du You had no way to ensure someone’s safety. Even with his ninth-tier doppelganger protecting Xiaobai, it was the same. So, he might as well place her in a safer location.
Recently, Du You condensed a special space within his palm.
With Xiaobai’s strength, even staying inside for several years wouldn’t affect her. Unfortunately, Xiaobai had too little time for cultivation. Even with Du You’s help, she hadn’t reached the eighth tier and was still lacking.
If she could, her self-preservation ability would be stronger.
And Xiaobai obediently nodded and said, "I know you’re about to do something big. When you take over the whole world, it’s going to start, right? Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back."
Xiaobai nodded vigorously. She completely obeyed Du You and had no desire to resist at all.
Even if Du You wanted to sell her now, Xiaobai might still help him count the money in return.
Having settled the matter with Xiaobai, the next plan unfolded smoothly. The army advanced from five directions, and this time, instead of waiting for an attack from the Outer World next month, they advanced directly from the homeland.
Of course, in the homeland, Du You had to control the intensity of the attack, so it wasn’t possible to take over everything smoothly.
But what Du You didn’t expect was how smoothly things went this time. Wherever he went, the enemy basically surrendered immediately. After all, the cities here were numerous, but the upper class had been almost entirely depleted by previous battles.
Not many eighth-tier experts remained, and not every large city even had a seventh-tier expert.
So, wherever they arrived, the cities surrendered right away, whether they had seventh-tiers or eighth-tiers. What surprised Du You the most was that the original alliance leader, the eighth-tier peak guy, actually surrendered too.
Thinking about it, Du You understood. Although this guy always opposed him, he wasn’t brainless.
Why resist to the death knowing it would lead to death? It’s better to surrender and join this side directly. He could even obtain a way to maintain himself upon reaching the ninth tier, which was his biggest demand.
Unfortunately, this guy didn’t realize that with his method of promotion, once he reached the ninth tier, he would inevitably be controlled.
Du You didn’t have time to waste on these matters either. He controlled those who surrendered, whether they were seventh-tiers or eighth-tiers, one by one, without worrying about unexpected situations.
The eighth-tiers were entirely restricted, while the seventh-tiers were slightly better off. The alliance leader was now so regretful.
No, you couldn’t even say he regretted it, because his entire body was so bound by various restrictions that he no longer had any chance for reaction, and even his last bit of self-awareness had completely disappeared.
It’s fair to say, if anyone could see him now, they would find this guy had turned into a puppet.
With the final step reached, there was no longer any need for concealment, so Du You took action somewhat wantonly.
Of course, there were a few cities that didn’t surrender, but they were irrelevant to the overall situation. Du You didn’t attack them forcibly because such actions could easily provoke punishment from the world’s will. In fact, Du You hoped that they would attack first, so the world’s will would help him eliminate them. But, they had no intention to take action.
"Eh, they’re trying to set up a Destruction Array in the Outer World, aiming to go down with us. How determined," Du You’s spy reported their actions immediately.
"Master, what should we do, forcibly suppress their Outer World?"
"No, destroying a few is fine too; it can effectively weaken the world’s will and better aid our attack. Didn’t we recently control a lot of puppets? Let’s have them take action."
These puppets were a force while under his control, but Du You didn’t value them greatly. Now that his doppelganger army had matured, with him and the two sisters having over thirty ninth-tier doppelgangers combined, such a massive force couldn’t be ignored in this world.
No matter what means the world will have in the end, he had the strength to contend.
With the arrival of the next month, the speed this time was truly extreme. With one swift wave, the last batch of Outer Worlds was occupied. Sure enough, the remaining few Outer Worlds were blown up by those people.
And some of the puppets under Du You’s control were sent into them this time. Almost all of the upper class in this world had been revamped by themselves, cultivated by Du You.
"Investigate immediately. There should be some remaining Outer Worlds that haven’t been discovered. Find them all. For the worlds we’ve already controlled, exert full force to build altars and bring them under control as soon as possible," Du You directly ordered.
All the worlds started taking action, and at the same time, the world’s will suffered considerable damage.
Du You could feel it. The consecutive detonations of so many high-level Outer Worlds left a noticeable scar in the world’s will, very obvious and glaring.
This scar prevented the world’s will from recovering for a long time. Its own power had inevitably been affected.
Unfortunately, all those who caused this damage were thoroughly dead, so the world’s will couldn’t punish them. On the contrary, Du You had been continually reinforcing the strength of various Outer Worlds, and the world’s will hadn’t had time to reward him enough yet.
As a result, the world’s will didn’t know at all that a massive threat to it was maturing gradually.
Since the entire world was under control, things entered the fast lane next. Not only the Outer World, but even the homeland side. Du You utilized the current restrictions that allowed him to use special powers to create one special magic array after another.
