555 Plundering Strategy

I actually can’t catch up to him. Sovereign Moyou’s heart chilled. The Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector’s Hellions won’t be able to stop him. He will intercept time and time again, killing Hellion Overlords.

In high-dimensional space, the thread-like Nightmare power stopped extending and left high-dimensional space, returning to normal cosmic spacetime.

In space, Sovereign Moyou condensed his body.

“Hmph.” Sovereign Moyou grunted softly. He felt a portion of his Nightmare World being wiped out, and it also tormented his mind and consciousness.

Perhaps only a cosmic legend can have full confidence in capturing him. Sovereign Moyou’s eyes were lucid. But clearly, it’s impossible for the Hellions to escalate the war to the cosmic legend level just because of this trivial matter!

Once the war escalated, human cosmic legends would descend on the battlefield. Coupled with their many technological weapons, the Hellions would be at a disadvantage even if they unleashed the crazy Sovereigns.

Perhaps more habitable planets would be slaughtered on the human side, but more Hellion Origin lifeforms would die! This was because humans had the advantage in terms of upper-level strength.

However, most of the top forces were focused on the Void Celestials.

For example, Yijiu was the strongest in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector that the Primordial Research Institute was in charge of! He wasn’t even in the top ten of the Primordial Research Institute’s Lv. 10s. Other than focusing on the evolutionary path, the cosmic legends and terrifying existences in the research institute usually went to the Void Celestial battlefield for a rotation.

I need to report the situation. There’s nothing I can do about it. Sovereign Moyou immediately began to return. He also informed the team he led to return.

As for the three Hellion Overlords who had moved out with him, they were already long dead.

Xu Jingming was still fleeing in high-dimensional space.

“Master, don’t worry. Sovereign Moyou is good at Nightmare power and attacks the enemy’s mind and consciousness, not traveling in high-dimensional space. Even if his Nightmare power can enter high-dimensional space… the pursuit will definitely be very slow! You’re good at high-dimensional traveling; he can’t compare to you.” Nine was very confident. After all, he had been through generations of masters and was very experienced.

“But I can’t see him.” Xu Jingming communicated with his mind. “According to the intelligence, he can sense me since his mental strength has reached high-dimensional.”

“He’s already considered impressive to be able to sense you, Master. That’s how the Nightmare power knows the direction for the pursuit,” Nine remarked. “Most people who borrow high-dimensional powers don’t know which direction to pursue you even if their powers can seep into high-dimensional space.”

“Master, you can leave high-dimensional space and go to normal spacetime. I’m certain that he won’t be able to affect spacetime again,” Nine said.

“I’ll give it a try.” Xu Jingming left high-dimensional space with a thought and tried Spacetime Travel.

This time, there was no interference. He easily traversed hundreds of millions of light-years before heaving a sigh of relief.

“I’ve definitely escaped with me traversing hundreds of millions of light-years.” Xu Jingming didn’t dare to relax, afraid that the Nightmare power would seep into his body.

“It doesn’t feel good to be blind in high-dimensional space. I couldn’t see anything around me.” Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.

“It’s already very impressive to enter high-dimensional space as a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. As for seeing high-dimensional space? Master, you can work harder after becoming a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform,” Nine said.

Xu Jingming nodded.

At this stage, it was already not bad if he could escape. He was still young and still needed to improve.

Soon, Xu Jingming, Yijiu, and Jane returned to Black Iron.

“Sovereign Moyou’s intent to kill was apparent. In order to kill you, he ignored his subordinates and even a portion of his Nightmare World.” Yijiu drank and smiled happily. “He chased after you in high-dimensional space with all his might.”

“If it were me,” Senior Brother Jane said, “I wouldn’t even be able to see anything in high-dimensional space. I wouldn’t be able to track him even if I wanted to.”

“Interestingly, I can.”

Yijiu shook his head. “But Junior Brother Wu Ming is really fast. I clearly sensed him disappearing in high-dimensional space! That wisp of Nightmare power chased after him with all its might, but it wasn’t even half as fast as Junior Brother Wu Ming.”

“Not even half as fast as me?” Xu Jingming felt glad and heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn’t see, but Yijiu could sense it.

“Having realized that he won’t be able to catch up to you, he won’t go through all that trouble in the future again,” Yijiu said in thought. “Hellion Sovereigns fuse with high-dimensional objects to borrow their strength. I’ve never heard of anyone who’s good at high-dimensional traveling.”

“They’re probably helpless against you without a cosmic legend,” Jane commented.

Xu Jingming nodded. “The number of Hellion Origin lifeforms I’ve killed is insignificant. The Hellion cosmic legends probably won’t care.”

Cosmic legends completely understood and grasped high-dimensional powers, allowing them to perfectly use high-dimensional powers in every aspect, so their strength was naturally much higher. In addition, the species would also equip them with powerful high-dimensional treasures. Every cosmic legend was a pillar of the species.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months passed.

Sovereign Moyou had completely given up after discovering that he couldn’t catch up to Xu Jingming in high-dimensional space! Xu Jingming had even led his senior brothers into action twice in the beginning, but they later acted alone.

His interception range covered one-third of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector, so his efficiency was extremely high. He went out every few days and killed many Hellion Origin lifeforms for every deployment.

*******

In a virtual world built by the Hellions, five Hellion Sovereigns were gathered.

“This Dark Spearman’s range of activity is too large. His shadow looms across the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector’s front line,” the figure in the blood mist said.

“According to estimates, at least 190 Hellion Overlords have died at his hands in the past few months! How many will die a year if this continues? What about a hundred years? A thousand?” a fat figure said anxiously. “We can’t let this continue.”

“Indeed, this can’t go on.”

“The Overlords are also spreading the news about the Dark Spearman internally. Many Overlords are beginning to resist. They gain very little from every small-scale plundering, but they suffer huge losses.”

“There’s some resistance now. If this continues for a few years, the Hellion teams probably won’t carry out the orders seriously.”

Although they didn’t care too much about the casualties of the Hellion Overlords and suffered high casualty rates in the war to begin with, just one human powerhouse was one too many.

“There are many ways to resolve this. We can invite a cosmic legend, more Hellion Sovereigns who have grasped high-dimensional powers, or we can change our war strategy. However, we don’t have the authority to decide on these methods.”

“Report it.”

“Moyou, what do you think?”

The other four looked at Sovereign Moyou, who was the leader of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector’s Hellions.

“Report it,” Sovereign Moyou said. He wasn’t willing to bear the responsibility.

In the Hellion territory, there was a lone dark pool in the chaotic void without any ripples. Suddenly, water surged and condensed into two figures.

Two figures stood on the surface of the pool.

One was a woman with a pair of gray wings. Her wings were partially damaged, and her gray eyes were emotionless.

The other was a handsome, streamlined, and bald man. The lines on his body exuded extreme beauty. Just standing there affected the surrounding space.

“Death Wither,” the gray-winged woman said. “Have you tried evolving again?”

“Yeah.” The handsome bald figure looked at himself. “I think the evolutionary direction is right, but I still haven’t reached high-dimensional. Sometimes, I think the human evolutionary method is better. They study all kinds of Force structural models, and once they figure out the structural models, there’s a 100% chance of success. As for our evolutionary breakthrough? It depends on luck.”

“The evolution of life is a form of luck to begin with,” the gray-winged woman said. “Moreover, Death Wither, you’ve always been trying to evolve. You’re almost a high-dimensional lifeform.”

“It’s not that easy,” Death Wither replied. “There’s news from Moyou that they’ve encountered some trouble.”

“Yes, a mysterious human guardian.” The gray-winged woman nodded. “He has already affected our Hellions’ plundering of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector. If he’s allowed to continue, he might head to the other two cosmic sectors! It will completely affect the three cosmic sectors at the border. There are several solutions. Which one do you think we should choose?”

Death Wither said, “Now isn’t the time for cosmic legends to fight the humans. The last time I fought the strongest cosmic legend on the humans’ side, Redmond, I was almost killed by him. The human race has more high-dimensional treasures than us… I’m afraid I’ll never be a match for Redmond unless I’m a high-dimensional lifeform.”

The gray-winged woman nodded.

“Reduce the number of ‘small-scale plunderings’ in the area where that mysterious guardian is active; we can even pause it all,” Death Wither said. “In the future, the range of his activity will be mainly limited to medium and large-scale plundering.”

“For medium-scale plundering, there will be at least 20 teams attacking at least 200 spots. No matter how fast that mysterious guardian traversals spacetime, he can only intercept one spot,” Death Wither said. “For large-scale plundering, there will be at least 100 teams. His influence will be even lower.”

The gray-winged woman frowned. “Cut back on small-scale plundering? Then, it will be very difficult to figure out the layout of the human garrison and the large detectors. It’s easy to stumble into traps during large-scale plundering, and the losses will be very high.”

“This is already the only way to reduce losses,” Death Wither said. “Since we’ve given the method, let Moyou decide on the rest. At the same time, we’ll inform the other two cosmic sectors of this plan. I guess this mysterious guardian might leave the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector and head to the other two cosmic sectors.”

The gray-winged woman nodded. “Alright, we will focus on medium and large-scale plundering where this mysterious guardian is stationed.”

Their decision quickly spread to the three cosmic sectors at the front line. From this day onward, the Hellions’ plundering strategy changed.

After the Cosmic Human Alliance discovered the changes in the battlefield, they reacted very quickly and deployed Xu Jingming to the other two cosmic sectors for a period of time. He stayed one year in one cosmic sector and one year in another cosmic sector without any pattern, forcing the Hellions in the three cosmic sectors to change their plundering strategy.

For a single person to force the entire Hellion species to change their plundering strategy was indeed an influence that was comparable to a cosmic legend’s. Everything was as Deputy Dean Redmond and the others had expected—Xu Jingming’s shadow loomed across the entire front line.

As a result, the efficiency of the Hellions’ plundering decreased, and the casualty rate increased.

There was nothing the Hellions could do about it. If they didn’t change their strategy, it would only be worse.
