Chapter 2474: Chapter 2475: Mock Battle
As for the data within the Data Domain, Feng Yuan does not doubt its authenticity. After all, this is the most fundamental data of the Data Domain. Normally, it’s difficult for even entities like Agunas to easily alter it, let alone information about the Anti-Divine Beasts, which is taboo. Except for a few beings, neither others nor the Divine Beasts know about the Anti-Divine Beasts.
Moreover, here Feng Yuan only found information on a few elemental Anti-Divine Beasts. Higher-level beings like the Twisted Sinide are not present, which further proves that this data is likely real. The Empire and War’s two timelines indeed possess Anti-Divine Beasts.
That’s right, at first, Feng Yuan thought all Anti-Divine Beasts were in the hands of the Imperial timeline. However, the data within the Data Domain clearly states that both timelines actually possess the same number of Anti-Divine Beasts and Anti-Divine Beast Runes.
And just as they guessed before, the Anti-Divine Beast Runes owned by both timelines are different. When combined, they could potentially complete all the Anti-Divine Beast Runes.
"I didn’t expect to find such information within the Data Domain. Is this considered extra help provided for the Main World?"
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan also doesn’t understand why he would find such data at the bottom of the Data Domain. If Maomu City hadn’t wanted to use the Imperal timeline’s data for AI, Feng Yuan suspects no one would have thought there would be such detailed data available for access here.
"Hey! You over there, what are you doing!"
Because Feng Yuan’s attention was all on the data, he didn’t notice the Commander’s orders for a moment. Upon being warned, Feng Yuan immediately apologized and caught up with the others.
On the other side, Agunas and the others received a message from Tamur, and their expressions turned grim. They indeed did not know about the detailed data in the Data Domain, but this wasn’t the main issue; the real problem was the existence of the Anti-Divine Beasts.
The suddenly appearing Anti-Divine Beasts, even if they only grasp elemental rules, can still pose a huge threat. Figuring out how to deal with them is certainly going to be a headache.
Feng Yuan neither knows nor cares about Agunas and the others’ troubles. After all, it shouldn’t be his concern. As long as those guys don’t bother him, Feng Yuan really doesn’t want to deal with the trivial matters of the Imperal timeline.
Entering the combat zone, the created Imperial People immediately launched a counterattack. According to the initial plan, this time, it’s a comprehensive extermination operation targeting the elite forces that have intruded into the interior of Maomu City.
Honestly, Feng Yuan finds the capabilities of these Commanders quite troubling. One could say their level might not even match Dou Yanlan’s. Even though Dou Yanlan from the Main World has given up the route of a Commander, the foundation she built before still remains, which gives her a certain advantage over the common maverick.
However, this advantage doesn’t count for much in front of professionals. Unfortunately, even so, in Feng Yuan’s eyes, these selected Commanders are still lacking.
"Chaotic, is this their level?"
Zhanzheng Qichen, who was invited to observe the battle, murmured quietly while looking at the command in various areas on the projection screen. Even though he wasn’t well-versed in this area in the past, or even now for that matter, he could still see the problems in this group of Commanders.
"No backup plan, not even special scenario preparations? Your manner of waging war is truly... crude."
Looking toward the City Defense Army officer beside him, Qi Chen couldn’t help but say something. The officer’s face turned red. Even if he wasn’t a Commander, he could see there were major issues with the group’s command.
What a joke, charging in all at once — what’s the point of their training like this? Even if considering mutual unfamiliarity, this is no way to conduct it.
"She..."
At this moment, Zhanzheng Qichen noticed a change in one of the teams in a particular area and couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Seeing that familiar figure, Zhanzheng Qichen’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect that even in a different world, she would still be so talented.
Dou Yanlan couldn’t stand the Commanders’ actions any longer and had to intervene. Thanks to previous preparations from finding Feng Yuan for the Mythical Transformation, Dou Yanlan successfully took command from the Commanders using certain means.
Even though the team’s members were unfamiliar with one another, Dou Yanlan still reorganized the formations based on each person’s capabilities and utilized some Spirit Beasts’ special abilities to deliver more precise orders.
"This is really..."
Watching the Imperial People getting their targets snatched away among the dark Arrow Rain, Feng Yuan looked helpless. Since no one in his group was stepping up, the Commanders naturally took charge of directing the battle, resulting in...
Often, the same enemy was struck by multiple ultimate moves from different people. Even Feng Yuan often couldn’t avoid this situation, as he couldn’t always pay attention to everyone’s surroundings and thus didn’t know if there was anyone else ready to strike the enemy he had targeted.
The chaos after an attack resulted in many enemies not being attacked at all, and the counterattack from the remaining ones caused significant damage to the team.
"Tsk, it’s truly troublesome, Xiao Ji! Follow my command, set the Netherworld Starfire on that one, and then link the Death Duel to the one in the red clothes over there!"
Faced with the chaotic battlefield, Feng Yuan had no choice but to intervene. The Netherworld Starfire is a marking ultimate move, primarily used to prevent targets from entering stealth or other concealing states; using it for marking is naturally feasible. The Death Duel, on the other hand, is a unique amplification ultimate move from the Death Series.
Once activated, it requires designating two targets. Once it takes effect, a shadow linking phantom forms between the two, doubling the damage the designated targets deal to each other.
Because the damage-doubling effect applies to both parties, very few people choose to use this ultimate move as there are many other amplification ultimate moves with fewer drawbacks.
But Feng Yuan wasn’t concerned about the damage increase effect; he simply assigned them targets.
Initially, some people didn’t understand what Feng Yuan was doing and even angrily criticized him. Feng Yuan wasn’t bothered at all. Under his command, the entire battlefield soon became organized, with various Imperial People carrying different numbers of shadow links.
Due to the damage-doubling effect, Beastmasters assigned the Death Duel had to prioritize their linked targets. As a result, when they acted, they found it much smoother than when they used to attack freely.
Enemies that previously required intense fighting were defeated in just two rounds of attack.
This change made others stop resisting Feng Yuan’s markings. For most people, battlefield analysis and making the right target choices were too troublesome and headache-inducing. Although Feng Yuan’s markings didn’t make combat completely effortless, they did simplify things quite a bit.
By simply attacking according to the marks, enemies could be swiftly resolved, which made the process a lot more convenient for many, even though some felt disgruntled, they didn’t dare openly oppose.
After the initial chaos, most areas had people stepping up to restore order. Zhanzheng Qichen thought of something and looked at the officer with surprise, saying,
"Is this also part of your plan? Intentionally using commanders of this level to draw out truly capable individuals?"
"Ah? This wasn’t part of our plan, but they certainly can..."
The officer didn’t hide anything — no need for that. They indeed didn’t make such plans, but apparently, it wasn’t a bad thing. Even he could see that those who voluntarily stepped up had a higher level than the Commanders.
As for how much higher, that’s hard to say. After all, these people’s abilities varied, and what they had showcased might not be their full capability. Just like Feng Yuan, Zhanzheng Qichen believed that guy’s abilities were certainly not limited to what was shown; he just couldn’t be bothered to do more.
Looking at the projection, seeing himself in this world, Zhanzheng Qichen sighed. Maybe it was due to age, Qi Chen didn’t have talent in this area and, like everyone else, followed the orders of the temporary commander who voluntarily stepped up.
However, thinking seriously, it seems that it was also after that event that he started to study this area. Before that, he always thought that he just needed to fight silently like Qi Chen, but didn’t expect...
"Anti-Divine Beast Runes... how were these arranged to be integrated?"
Noticing a unique energy gathering, Feng Yuan frowned, redirecting his Longbow towards that direction and instructing Xiao Ji to adjust the Death Duel links once more.
The Anti-Divine Beast Runes are a troublesome existence for ordinary people. Feng Yuan doesn’t plan on dealing with all of them on his own, as there are now several appearing.
Seeing dozens of Death Duel links all pointing towards one person, the Beastmasters became more cautious. Feng Yuan’s previous command had already proven his capability, so this definitely wasn’t a mistake.
This implies that from Feng Yuan’s perspective, it requires so many people to successfully deal with this one!
