Chapter 270 - 26: My Mechanism Is Above Yours
Evil God Players never actively reveal their own abilities.
Therefore, any intelligence that normal Lord Players gather on Evil God Players is painstakingly pieced together, bit by bit, through their own observation and experience.
And precisely because gathering intelligence was so difficult and fragmented, Qin Feng couldn’t be certain his judgment was absolutely correct.
He could only rely on a few clues: Nesia’s top-tier Combat Skills, which included multiple Flash abilities; the words his opponent had just blurted out subconsciously; and the hidden meaning behind the word "Envy." Based on these, he estimated the probability that Nesia possessed the "Plunder Skills" mechanism to be over 80%.
Actually,
Qin Feng’s judgment was completely correct.
Among the believers of the Seven Great Evil Gods, aside from the Evil God Believers of Gluttony, Lust, and Greed—who all mastered core mechanics for rapid growth—the believers of the remaining four Evil Gods each possessed their own unique abilities.
For example, the believers of the God of Arrogance.
Not only could they corrupt others and force them into submission, but their own power would grow stronger with every new subordinate they acquired.
More importantly, they also mastered the exclusive "Command the Void" mechanic, allowing them to actively create and control Void Creatures to fight for them. They could even leave the "Death Zone," an area normally restricted by the world’s rules.
And while the believers of other Evil Gods wouldn’t be attacked by Void Creatures, they couldn’t command these powerful beings, much less use such formidable monsters to fight on their behalf.
For instance,
Zhou Kehua had used Void Creatures to completely annihilate a Lord Player in Dragon’s Canyon.
He had accomplished this by relying on his Pride Talent, which allowed him to command the Void.
As for the believers of the God of Envy, their core growth mechanic was quite similar to that of the Angry Believers: the more living beings they personally killed, the more powerful they became.
However, unlike the Angry Believers, the believers of the God of Envy also controlled a unique "Plunder Skills" mechanic.
By killing creatures with different abilities, they could directly strip those abilities for themselves. This allowed them to rapidly enhance their own Combat Skills while simultaneously customizing the individual abilities of their Evil God Soldiers, ultimately creating a highly specialized, top-tier fighting force.
The nature of this ability was quite similar to Qin Feng’s "Hero Enhancement" Talent.
As for the Angry Believers,
They possessed the exclusive "Blood Sacrifice" mechanic.
Each kill not only directly strengthened their own power, but also granted them an additional stack of a Blessing Power called "Blood Sacrifice."
By consuming these "Blood Sacrifice" stacks—that is, by expending the Blessing Power bestowed by the God of Anger—they could instantly enter a powered-up state. This granted them unimaginably terrifying strength, causing their personal combat power to temporarily soar to its peak, like a Super Saiyan among Super Saiyans.
Finally, there were the Sloth Believers.
Their core mechanic had actually been mentioned before.
By simply sacrificing various items plundered from others, they could obtain the Blessing Power of the God of Sloth and use it to mass-produce top-tier treasures and red-grade equipment...
However,
being correct in his assessment was one thing.
The most pressing problem now was how to eliminate Nesia completely.
After all, Nesia was completely different from that Lust Female Player from before. She had followed the Magic Control Flow, growing stronger by rapidly absorbing her enemies’ Attribute Values.
Once that Evil Goddess Player cast her Control Magic, it would immobilize and suppress both her target and herself. This was tantamount to cutting off her own escape route, leaving her vulnerable to being easily interrupted and killed by a second Extraordinary Level combatant.
But no such obvious flaw
could be found on Nesia.
His casting speed was nearly instantaneous, and he had mastered an unknown number of Flash Skills. By constantly rotating through them, he could maintain an uninterrupted, top-tier dodging ability.
Moreover, Nesia had lived for at least several hundred years. The Magic Power he had accumulated must be immense. There was no way he’d run out after casting a few dozen spells and become a helpless "Super Soldier" ripe for the slaughter.
’Maybe?’
’The Magic Control Flow could work on him?’
’If I use Control Magic to continuously suppress Nesia and prevent him from casting spells, I could use that opening to kill him instantly...’
With this in mind, Qin Feng immediately began to pursue Nesia relentlessly. He forced his opponent to constantly use Flash Magic to evade damage, all while secretly memorizing the landing spot of each Flash.
It was just like dealing with a jiggle-peeker in an FPS game. Most players have fixed habits for the direction and frequency of their peeks. Once you figured out their pattern, you could pre-aim and land a headshot.
By the same token, if Qin Feng could figure out the general direction and distance of Nesia’s Flashes and capitalize on the brief opening right after he reappeared,
he could instantly cast his "Mjolnir" skill.
And lock Nesia down.
Of course,
it wasn’t that Qin Feng couldn’t just cast "Mjolnir" right away.
But the problem was,
if Qin Feng’s first cast missed,
given Nesia’s intelligence, he would immediately memorize the skill’s casting animation. From that point on, he’d be on guard, making sure to avoid being caught by Mjolnir’s stunning effect.
Even more crucially,
Mjolnir was currently Qin Feng’s only form of crowd control.
If his opponent figured out and prepared for this one and only suppression skill,
then it would become nearly impossible for Qin Feng to kill this powerful Mage, who could zip around the battlefield like a Warden from Warcraft.
Afterward.
