Chapter 2: God of Misfortune (Upper Divine Soul)
No wonder the God of Misfortune dared to come alone—he had strength in the upper-middle tier of the Absolute Strong rank. In the outside world, that would already be formidable, but within the Eternal Light World, even with the [Super·World-Level Sealing Technique] currently active, his strength wouldn't rank in the top thirty. And that's only counting individual powerhouses, not world-destroying level clans.
After taking his seat, Su Xiao pulled out the [Strange Misfortune Coin Purse]. As expected, this item could no longer be used, but it wasn't a loss. Later, when he had time, he could use this equipment as a coordinate to reach the God of Misfortune's temple. Most likely, the god's treasures were stored there.
This would have to wait until the end of this world. For now, the most critical task was to eliminate the world-destroying level clans in this world as quickly as possible.
Su Xiao opened the Mother Nest's data to review. With his insect clan's current combat power, they weren't yet capable of sweeping through the entire Wild Overgrowth Region. However, among the Third Tier world-destroying level clans, they were already unstoppable, with strength comparable to the Second Tier world-destroying level clans.
In other words, as long as his forces weren't currently besieged by the existing three Second Tier world-destroying level clans, and as long as they didn't disturb the slumbering World Devourer, then his side had no rivals.
There were still 12 remaining Third Tier world-destroying level clans, including the Undead Descendants, Frenzied Blood Hounds, Filth Giants, and Giant Demons. Su Xiao's plan was to deal with these world-destroying level clans one by one, gaining Evolution Points and Bio Energy by annihilating these enemies.
Evolution Points were especially important. The current clan level of the Demon Insect Clan was Lv.96. Even with the War Lord bonus, to deal with the World Devourer, it would be more reliable to raise the clan level to Lv.100 and awaken the insect clan's ultimate ability.
His side currently had 11,580 Demon Flame Dragons, which were the main combat force. Su Xiao spread out the map of the Wild Overgrowth Region and marked all the world-destroying level clans on it. He noticed that among the remaining Third Tier world-destroying level clans, the Giant Demon clan was closest to their base camp.
The Giant Demon clan were those who had mastered the Moon Wolf Secret Art and were exiled to this world. They weren't imprisoned here by the Ancestral Law Destroyers of the past, so the Giant Demons weren't as terrifying as imagined. Aside from their rapid reproduction speed, massive bodies ranging from a hundred meters to a thousand meters, and overwhelming numbers, they had no other special traits. In the outside world, this could indeed destroy a Ninth Rank world, but in the Eternal Light World, it wasn't particularly impressive.
Based on Jila's previous experience dealing with Third Tier world-destroying level clans, wiping out one faction would yield roughly 70 to 80 Evolution Points and over a million Bio Energy points.
In fact, even more Bio Energy could be obtained, but the Demon Flame Dragons mainly focused on enhancing their Dragonflame. The result of overly powerful Dragonflame was that enemies killed by it, while still leaving some Bio Energy for the Fungal Carpet to absorb, would only retain about 20%.
The problem was that to later deal with the Star-Clinging Crab and the World Devourer, they had to develop Dragonflame. However, developing Dragonflame meant that during the growth period, the efficiency of obtaining Bio Energy would drop by over 80%.
Mass-producing Demon Beasts to kill enemies would indeed yield 100% Bio Energy returns, but Demon Beasts were running-type melee units with too many limitations.
The Titan Beasts, which were stronger than Demon Flame Dragons, were indeed a good choice. Su Xiao had long seen how powerful a rain of Plasma Cannons could be, plus they didn't reduce Bio Energy acquisition efficiency. However, each Titan Beast required 3,000 Bio Energy, and these big guys were too cumbersome.
Demon Beasts, Demon Flame Dragons, and Titan Beasts each had their pros and cons. After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao decided to use Demon Beasts as the main force, breeding 400,000 to 500,000 of them, then adding 1,000 Demon Flame Dragons and 100 Titan Beasts to hold the line. Finally, he would apply the War Lord title effect. With this formation, he would deal with the Third Tier world-destroying level clan: Giant Demons.
First, he would clean up this isolated enemy faction. As for those Third Tier world-destroying level clans that had already banded together, Jila's previous tactic of only deploying Demon Flame Dragons had genuinely frightened them, forcing 10 Third Tier world-destroying level clans into an alliance.
Currently, the Mother Nest only stored 46,820 Bio Energy, clearly insufficient to form the envisioned lineup. This was where the Fungal Carpet came in. His side's Fungal Carpet had a Bio Energy absorption rate of up to 85%. Absorbing 7,000 Demon Flame Dragons would be roughly enough. Since his Demon Flame Dragons' levels hadn't been raised yet, this wasn't a loss.
「War Lord Bonus·Limit Power (Passive Lv.80+15): Upon activating this ability, all combat-type units under your command will be granted rank-based certification and can gain combat experience through battle. When combat experience accumulates to 100%, this unit can undergo a comprehensive upgrade (300,000 combat-type units can trigger this bonus).
Tip: This rank-based certification has a total of Lv.1 to Lv.3. Upon reaching Lv.3 max level, this unit will additionally gain the [Life Flourish] passive ability, which can greatly increase current health points by approximately 15,000 to 65,000 points (varies depending on the target being enhanced).」
This effect was the key to dealing with the World Devourer. Su Xiao's ideal configuration for confronting the World Devourer was:
