Chapter 2677 First Wave
The three hours Gragatou gave everyone pa.s.sed quickly. When the moment arrived, Gragatou and the other Semi-Celestials gathered all the experts. A few more of them arrived, having been called by their companions during this time, so the total number of experts increased to almost five hundred.
Rean and Roan saw many faces that were not present back in the outside gathering. It was obvious that these extra experts had been hidden inside others" Pocket Dimensional Realms. Well, Kentucky and Celis were also not present before, so everyone else understood Rean and Roan had hidden them in their own Pocket Dimensional Realm, too.
"We have been keeping a watch over the Wonder Beasts surrounding the Tower. At first, the "wandering" doesn"t seem to have much of a pattern. However, it does have one," Gragatou began to explain after discussing these things with the other Semi-Celestials. "They mostly follow the flow of Chaos Laws and Energy that comes from the tower."
Kafan took it from there. "The tower is what pours Chaos Laws and Energy into this world, but it doesn"t do it uniformly. Those who have achieved a higher level of Chaos Cultivation probably already noticed the constant change of Chaos Laws and Energy concentration after getting this close. The Wonder Beasts always follow these different waves until they start to grow thin due to the distance to the tower. Once it happens, they turn around and move somewhere else near the tower, looking for a bigger concentration of Chaos Laws and Energy."
"That"s why it feels like the Wonder Beasts are moving without much thought," Black Locust complemented, also having noticed those patterns. "This is good for us, though. We managed to pick up the patterns of release of Chaos Laws and Energy from the tower, and we can tell when and where the groups of Wonder Beasts will move next."
Gragatou became serious at this point. "Black Locust is right. We can use this perception to attack the Wonder Beasts" smaller groups, giving us a much higher chance of cleaning the towers" surroundings. However! Even the smaller groups of Wonder Beasts so far still had over a hundred of them. Not to mention, they won"t be too far from the rest of the Wonder Beasts, so the attack will definitely catch the attention of the rest."
He continued. "That said, we need to finish the smaller groups of Wonder Beasts as fast as possible. The idea is simple. We will identify when a small group detaches from the bunch, and we will attack it. As soon as we finish it, we will retreat. Those Wonder Beasts are strong, but that strength can only be kept by consuming the Chaos Laws and Energy near the tower. The rest of the Wonder Beasts won"t pursue us for long. They also don"t have intelligence, as far as we can tell, so they will easily give up."
"It will be dangerous, and there is no doubt many of you will die. h.e.l.l, even we, Semi-Celesitals, have a chance of falling in this a.s.sault if we get surrounded by a large group. Remember, kill fast, retreat fast, repeat! If you lag behind, you are done for!"
Someone raised his hand, concerned. "Seniors, what if the rest of the Wonder Beasts don"t give up and keep pursuing us?"
The Semi-Celesitals already expected that question. "Keep running. The further away from the tower, the weaker they will get. If they truly keep pursuing us nonstop, then it is even better. We will get them far enough to be easily eliminated. Once again, if you lag behind, you die. Nonetheless, I doubt these Wonder Beasts will do that. We have been here for over a month already, and not a single one of them left the tower"s range."
"Is there any other question?" Gragatou asked the crowd.
Some expressed a few more concerns, but it wasn"t anything that important. In the end, the bulk of the plan would continue the same, attack and retreat. There wasn"t much to be explained there.
The experts were then separated into several groups based on their strengths and races. It was pretty obvious that the weakest ones were sent to the front to be used as cannon fodder. Nonetheless, they were given the chance to leave a long time ago. Only those who didn"t fear dying here remained, so no one could complain as everyone knew what they would be asked for.
Kafan turned out to be the one to identify the bigger waves of Chaos Laws and Energy. The top experts knew that he had been here in this world before, so his knowledge was the most complete. The twins" group was only in the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm Initial Stage, so they were designated to be at the front... Well, the truth was that the twins were as strong as the Semi-Celesitals. They were sent to the front exactly because everyone wanted to see it themselves. Was the twins" group any kind of threat? Kafan obviously tried to help, but Roan stopped him, saying there was no need to worry about them. With that, Kafan gave up and let them go ahead. Rean was especially committed as he truly wanted to prevent as many deaths as possible. This here was a huge portion of the entire power of the Universe. They needed it.
Kafan floated high in the skies, looking at the tower"s direction. He then changed his form back to Death Spirit, becoming a gathering of Death Energy. His perception spread far and wide, easily reaching the tower in the distance. Finally, he used his Divine Sense to communicate with all the experts from the various races below.
"There are tens of thousands of them, the results of countless years of Chaos Laws and Energy spreading from the tower. However, just follow my instructions, and a situation where you fight more than a hundred should hardly happen."
Kafan then felt a small wave of Chaos Laws and Energy coming from the tower, going to the right. "Everyone, consider the tower as your north pole. Move 29 kilometers to the northeast. A wave with around 60 Wonder Beasts is going in that direction. You have two minutes to take them all down and retreat before a bigger wave arrives."
