A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2693: Chapter 1821: Snowballing (The Cat Who Struggles to Eat Every Day)

Admittedly, when the Chaos Evil God used this particular move, the battle became much more challenging. The Tribunal’s warships could destroy those spaceship wrecks and Chaos battleships. However, they were ineffective against the Demon Army, whose size relative to the gun ports was as small as mosquitoes. The anti-aircraft fire on the warship couldn’t achieve a 360-degree full blockade.

Thus, when those demons charged onto the warship and Planet Fortress, trying to cause destruction with their claws and teeth, the war shifted from artillery to a battle of numbers—Duanmu Huai couldn’t exactly blow up his own warship, and even if he could, it would serve no purpose.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

Duanmu Huai’s Soul Walker occupation was intended for this moment.

Sitting in his chair, Duanmu Huai stared at the battlefield before him, silently drawing out one card after another.

First—summon a large number of Puppets, then activate [Heartless Erosion], summoning [Ancient Creations], [Analyzed Creations], and [Mysterious Creators] into play.

Of course, these fragile Puppets and Creatures were naturally no match for the demons. Even though Duanmu Huai desperately summoned thousands of Puppets and Creatures, they were still absolutely powerless against the sharp fangs and claws of the demons.

But this was just the beginning.

"Felin!"

Duanmu Huai called out to the shut-in girl, who since being rescued by him had stayed in the Tribunal, never venturing outdoors. As his finger trembled, the next instant, the Ice Dragon girl appeared on the battlefield.

"I know."

Having been idle for so long, seldom put to use, Felin understood her responsibility was significant. Hence, with a flicker of her form, she transformed into a giant silver-white Ice Dragon, and then opened her mouth, taking a deep breath. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai drew another card.

[Freezing Storm]

[Deal 3 damage to all enemy units]

"—————————!!"

The howling ice storm swept across the entire battlefield in an instant, enveloping all of the demons within Felin’s raging ice storm, catching them off guard.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Duanmu Huai flicked out another card.

"Come forth, Destruction Hero, Lixiana!"

The idol-dressed girl descended from the sky, the black and white eggs around her now hatched into black and white Angels, their eyes tightly closed, surrounding the girl. Duanmu Huai then drew another [Magical Electromagnetic Giant Rhinoceros]... Hmm, this card once served as his mount, though it’s useless now.

With a movement of his finger, the massive form of the Magical Electromagnetic Giant Rhinoceros appeared before the idol girl, who chuckled softly and reached out her hand. Through her gesture, the giant Magical Electromagnetic Giant Rhinoceros shattered completely, disappearing. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai activated Lixiana’s exclusive card.

[Song of Destruction]

[Specify and destroy one of your Servants or a Charm without a countdown effect, dealing damage to the entire enemy (equal to the specified card’s cost).]

The black and white blind Angels opened their mouths.

The destructive sound waves burst from their mouths, echoing throughout the battlefield. If Felin’s [Freezing Storm] was merely an appetizer to the demons, then Lixiana’s [Song of Destruction] was sufficient to completely sweep away those less powerful demons.

As the song surged forth, the demons surrounding the Planet Fortress and warships exploded in large numbers like mosquitoes struck by an electric grid. Their bodies scattered and fell, transforming into piles of sordid flesh.

Originally, the defeated demons would return to Subspace, and then "victory and defeat are common affairs in war, Hero please try again." However, as they turned into corpses, the invisible power of the divine seal forcefully took ownership of these demons. The demon corpses, already slain by Felin and Lixiana’s collective attacks, stood once more under the terrifying influence of the divine seal, beginning to twist and deform, transforming into terrifying forms completely different from before, launching an attack on their own kin.

"Phew..."

Duanmu Huai watched the battlefield, observing countless red dots rise again after being eliminated, letting out a breath of relief. In the game, players simply swarmed over by sheer numbers. But Duanmu Huai didn’t have that many people, even though he had a few cards capable of attacking all enemies, sheer numbers wouldn’t suffice against the endless Demon Army.

Yet, there was a solution, and that was the divine seal.

As long as the corpse was killed, it could be infected and transformed by the divine seal. This meant that as long as Duanmu Huai killed enough demons at once, he could instantly create a massive army of Corpse Variants from nothing. This meant that the more demons attacked his warship and Planet Fortress, the more they died, and the more they got transformed into Corpse Variants. If kept rolling this snowball, condensing several Blood Moons with the sheer quantity of demons wouldn’t be an issue.

Achieving that scale would naturally ease things further.

No, it should be said that reaching that point would be when the pressure is greatest.

Because at that point, the Chaos Evil God would realize that he couldn’t suppress him solely with firepower and numbers, leaving only single combat as the option—yes, me against their four, and their four against me, all single combat, quite fair.
