Chapter 1144 Strategic Analysis

"What do you all think?" After roughly understanding the situation on the battlefield, the Blood Corpse God, whose patience was relatively poor, was the first to throw out a question.

Before his voice even faded, Demon First replied without thinking, "I can't. My power's origin is similar to his, so I can't hurt him at all."

Fu Ling thought for a few seconds before replying, "I am confident that I can 'hurt' him, but 'killing' him is another matter entirely..." She paused, then continued, "With my strength alone, instantly killing him with one strike... is absolutely impossible. And that attack 'powerful enough to hurt him' would definitely force Wang Tanzhi's technique to stop. At that point... the freed Dou Mo, even if he was injured, could annihilate us all while fighting and recovering."

"Hmm..." The Blood Corpse God hummed after hearing this, examining Dou Mo for a few seconds. "What if... I used a very fast speed to bite off his head and swallow it..."

"Don't overthink it." Before he could finish, Billy interrupted. "Dou Mo isn't the kind of creature that dies when it loses its head... a humanoid appearance doesn't prove anything. So, don't think of him as a 'normal creature' and assume he has a so-called 'fatal weakness.'"

"So, you mean..." Samodiriel said, "To kill him, we have to kill him with one blow and blast him into oblivion?"

"Not necessarily," Billy replied. "Whether it's one blow or ten thousand blows... as long as you can exhaust all the energy contained within him, you can kill him."

"In other words, deplete his HP bar," Xiao Tan added at the right moment.

"Yes," Billy replied. "A good example. Speaking of which... explaining the problem using your Traveler's concepts might be easier..." He paused for a second, then looked at the others and began to explain, "First, let's assume... Dou Mo has 1000 hit points, 100 points of defense, and 100 points of magic resistance. And most of us here have an attack power of less than 20 in our normal state. So, normally speaking... all our normal attacks against him, whether physical or magical, won't 'break his defense'. No matter how many times we hit him, the damage will be zero."

"We can only use some explosive, special means to increase our attack power to above 100 for a certain period or a certain moment. Only then can we cause some damage to him. However, how much damage can this 'defense-breaking' damage do? Maybe 50 points, maybe 100 points, but it is absolutely impossible to cause 1000 points of damage after breaking his defense."

"So, does that mean we can kill him by bombarding him ten or twenty times with that attack that can break his defense? That's not right either, because Dou Mo, like most of us... also has self-healing abilities."

"Of course, I have never witnessed his ability—I have never seen Dou Mo injured at all. But according to Dian He Wang, the gods and demons fought countless times when they fought against the Supervisor God back then. Naturally, there were many battles where both sides were injured, and after so many battles... they still couldn't kill each other. As a result, the Supervisor God could only come up with the idea of sealing Dou Mo. From this point of view, Dou Mo's recovery ability must be the strongest level. If we cannot continuously inflict damage on him greater than his recovery efficiency in a short period of time and continue until his 1000 hit points are exhausted, then we will be the ones who die."

"According to your description, Dou Mo does have a lot in common with some bosses in Robot Wars..." At this time, Xu Huai Shang couldn't help but complain from the side.

The NPCs didn't pay much attention to her words, mainly because they didn't understand what Robot Wars was...

"Tch... So, you mean, all of us here, facing such a 'suppressed' Dou Mo, still don't have any means to kill him?" The Blood Corpse God organized his thoughts and asked in a rather unhappy tone.

"Although I am unwilling, my judgment is indeed... that 'we'... have no way." When Billy said this, his eyes slowly moved to look at the three spirit knights on the side.

"Sorry." Xiao Ling had already understood the implication of this NPC's words from Billy's eyes and the emphasized "we," so she replied directly, "We three 'Travelers' also do not have the ability to instantly kill Dou Mo." Saying that, she looked at Xu Huai Shang again, "Judging from the current situation, Shang-jiejie probably can't do it either. If she could kill Dou Mo... she would have already done it before we came, so..." She shrugged, "Let me just ask..." She turned to look at her fiancé, who was picking at his dandruff, and continued, "Xiao Tan, if you can free up your hands, can you kill Dou Mo?"

Xiao Tan had been thinking about this question while everyone was talking, so he answered quickly, "I should be able to break his defense with Yan Shi (【Tan】's special effect, creating black flames that devour all matter on physical and non-physical levels according to the user's will), but if, as you said, he may not die even if his head is cut off, then... let's not consider whether his recovery speed or the black flames' corrosion speed is faster, let's just assume that the black flames are slightly faster... he can also completely get rid of the corrosion by simply severing a limb."

"I understand..." Hearing this, Tariom, who hadn't spoken all along, stroked his chin and smiled, shaking his head. "Hehe... it seems we still only have one choice."

Everyone knew what "choice" he was talking about, which was—to guard this area and wait for Feng Bujue to return.

On the other hand, just as these leader-level NPCs and Ruo Yu and the others were joining forces with the monster kingdom's combat power and discussing, the redundant soldier legions in the sky... were also continuing to accumulate strength.

A few minutes ago, these redundant soldiers were already ready to launch, but fortunately, the sudden appearance of the "Gates of Wailing" allowed the Scavengers' tactical control system to have a new reaction, thus delaying the attack.

But this "delay" was not endless.

At this moment, the number of redundant soldiers in the sky had almost reached saturation. Looking up, the "soldier cloud" was so thick that it was airtight. Under this premise, even if there were still many unknown factors in the combat power analysis, the redundant soldier legions would not wait any longer.

So, the Scavengers, whose numbers had reached more than fifty again, decided to issue the order for a general attack after confirming it through collective consciousness communication.

And just as that order was about to be issued...

"Sorry to keep you all waiting." A cheap, full-of-air voice, amplified by the [Deceptive Pocket Watch], resounded throughout the battlefield.

Even the redundant soldiers with low intelligence knew who was coming...

As countless pairs of eyes looked towards the source of the sound, a man with a wicked smile on his face and wearing a long purple suit appeared on the city wall.
