I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 580 153: Predicament (4.3K Words)

Before making a choice, Yun You saw beneath the name of the middle-aged man, a sudden addition of more than a dozen "chess pieces," their quantity even made the man's avatar shine brightly.

"So many?"

Yun You was slightly shocked in her heart, and her expression darkened.

From the rules promulgated by the bloody text just now, it seems that the key to victory for both main combatants is not actually strategizing or calculating.

Pre-battle layout is certainly important, but the most crucial factor is the number of chess pieces.

The side with more chess pieces always has the initiative and a huge advantage, because it means he can recklessly waste his subordinates' chess pieces, using their lives in exchange for intelligence on Mokaka's chess pieces, and even use weaker chess pieces to exhaust Mokaka's physical strength and power.

It must be known that in this Supreme Heaven Purification Field's duel chessboard, a person's ability can only be used once, and both physical strength and spiritual power cannot recover.

If the opponent recruits hundreds of mortal mercenaries, sending them one by one to die, then Yun You, no matter how strong, would be exhausted to death.

Unless her [Eating] ability is not restricted by the Supreme Heaven Purification Field.

But Yun You figured this probably wouldn't be the case, after all, this eerie place is the God of War's Divine Domain, no idea how many years it has existed, its rules should be well-developed, not allowing any loopholes to be exploited.

Thinking back, the person who provoked Mokaka really used good tactics.

Yun You couldn't help but recall the effect of the "Black Burial" Silver Needle, which at that time captured more than half of the Starlight Welfare Institute's people into the Supreme Heaven Purification Field, preliminary estimates being that at least a thousand were victimized.

If two-thirds of them ended up under the middle-aged man in black's command, the situation would be rather dire.

Luckily, a golden light flickered, finally stopping at the number "15".

"Phew..."

Yun You let out a sigh of relief.

15 people, though many, are still barely acceptable.

After all, no matter how it's said, a double-digit opponent is far fewer than hundreds.

[I roughly understand now]

Master Zero paused for a moment, then slowly spoke...

[Perhaps in the War Master's eyes, mere mortals don't even qualify to stand on this duel arena, only an Apprentice Death God, mercenaries, or other individuals with considerable strength are worthy of being the main combatant's "chess pieces"]

[However, this is also bad news, because it means those 15 people from the other side are probably no pushovers]

[Handle with care, try not to expose too much information]

Yun You nodded.

She possesses many abilities, and they are quite varied, but none are weak, using them sparingly, she could at least fight four or five matches.

If Mokaka arranges wisely, then victory isn't impossible.

Thinking of this, Yun You did not hesitate much and chose Mokaka's option.

The golden light representing her name was instantly engraved beneath Mokaka's cat ear emblem.

Simultaneously, another golden light appeared under Mokaka's emblem.

This actually made Yun You a bit surprised.

Could it be there are many Apprentice Death Gods or mercenaries supporting Mokaka?

It seems normal too, given Mokaka's speech was so stirring, it's not surprising to persuade a few people to side with her on the spot...

But to Yun You's disappointment, the flickering of golden light stopped there.

Mokaka's faction consistently had only two golden lights flashing frequently.

[Don't count on those mercenaries and passerby Death Gods]

Master Zero sighed, explaining.

[Those people are worldly-wise, they wouldn't be willing to do anything without tangible benefits]

[If there's a reward for winning, or punishment for losing is unknown, so they'll naturally ponder for a while, it's impossible to make a choice now. I estimate until one side falls completely into disadvantage, showing signs of defeat, they will choose the surely winning main combatant]

[So don't hope for those people, but also don't worry about them aiding the wicked, at least in the short term, they won't personally enter the battlefield]

Yun You helplessly nodded.

From this point, it's already evident who chose Mokaka with her.

Almost simultaneously, Mokaka's voice echoed in her ear.

"Is it Ah You?"

It seems she's roughly guessed her situation, knowing that the ones who can still support her in such a moment, besides Tian En, are only Yun You.

Yun You nodded, softly responding with "Mm".

With little time remaining, they didn't waste their breath on nostalgia and sentiment, simply briefly discussing their respective situations.

Currently, Mokaka as the main combatant only has two chess pieces, one being Tian En, and the other is Yun You.

Their strength is quite decent, with both possessing abilities to fight beyond their level, especially Yun You, who in full force can eliminate Tier Four Death Gods.

However, the disadvantage in numbers has become a stumbling block for Mokaka.

The opponent has fifteen chess pieces to command at will, yet Yun You and Tian En have only one.

How to utilize them has become a major issue she must face.

The only breaking point might lie in the three "Treasure Bag Items" the main combatant holds.

Mokaka possesses three Treasure Bag Items: Identification Skill, Bottom Power Burst, and Celestial Seal.

Identification Skill allows Mokaka to see the chess pieces deployed by the opponent during the next three rounds after use, and understand part of that chess piece's ability.
