Chapter 1020: Go Big or Go Home
Chapter 1020: Go Big or Go Home
You... This isn’t a matter of being strange or not; it’s just that how would a normal person even think of sneaking up on a Pillar Deity?
After his lips moved slightly, the Taurus Director nodded with a peculiar expression.
"If the sneak attack succeeds, then there’s no problem. You and the Capricorn Director, along with six Zodiac Directors providing support, defeating one of the Four Ultimate Pillars isn’t difficult... But how do you plan to sneak up on them?"
"Of course, by using the Serpentarius Secret Technique for disguise."
"?"
Under the puzzled gazes of the Taurus Director and the Cancer Director, Liang explained:
"I’ve learned the Capricorn Palace’s [Abnormal Purification] secret art with the Capricorn Director, so I’m quite familiar with Heaven Mountain and its situation. When the Azure King and the Crimson King chase over, he will definitely hide among the angels using the purification secret art.
Those mad angels will attack everything that isn’t an angel. Without the purification secret art, the Azure King and the Crimson King will have to fight alongside the mad angels, essentially waging war against half of Heaven Mountain."
"Aquarius, I and Joan have also deduced that this situation is highly likely to occur."
The Cancer Director couldn’t help but interrupt:
"But how does this relate to your plan to sneak up on them? Are you planning to disguise yourself as a mad angel and mix in with the angels to attack them?"
"That won’t work. I don’t plan to disguise myself as a mad angel; I feel the success rate isn’t high enough."
Liang shook his head:
"When making plans, you can’t rely on whether the other side will make a mistake. At the level of the Four Ultimate Pillars, ordinary mad angels can’t even get close to them; they’ll likely be eliminated the moment they come into view.
If I just mix in with the angels and attack from a distance, I won’t even be able to touch the Azure King or the Crimson King, let alone seriously injure one of them."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Seeing that Liang understood the situation clearly and wasn’t just indulging in wild fantasies, the Taurus Director couldn’t help but ask curiously:
"If you’re not going to disguise yourself as a mad angel, how do you plan to get close to them and launch a sneak attack?"
"By forming an alliance with them."
"Ah?!!!"
Under the somewhat stunned gazes of the Taurus Director and the Cancer Director, Liang blinked and said:
"Didn’t we say there’s still about a month left? Before the Scorpio Director and the Virgo Director arrive at Heaven Mountain, I can use the Serpentarius Secret Technique to disguise myself as a Great Demon and head to the Abyssal Hundred Dungeons.
The seven Cardinal Sin Demons in the Abyss, though stronger than ordinary Pillar Deities, are definitely not on par with the Four Ultimate Pillars. I can sneak up on them one by one using my demon identity and secretly control them.
When the Capricorn Director hides among the mad angels and the Azure King and the Crimson King start clearing out the mad angels, I’ll lead those Cardinal Sin Demons to ‘just happen to’ attack Heaven Mountain. Then I’ll propose an alliance with them, suggesting that we demons handle the angels, and that’s when the opportunity for a sneak attack will arise."
"But... but that might not work, right?"
The Taurus Director, whose brain was a bit overloaded, stammered:
"What if they refuse the alliance?"
"If they refuse, then they refuse."
Looking at the Taurus Director who asked such a foolish question, Liang responded with a hint of surprise:
"I’m not really interested in forming an alliance with them; I just want an opportunity to get close to them. If I lead seven Cardinal Sin Demons to attack Heaven Mountain, the Azure King and the Crimson King, no matter how arrogant they are, will have to let me get close enough to say a few words. Once I’m close, I’ll just take action directly. "..."
"What's wrong? Is there something unreasonable about my plan?"
"..."
Your plan... It's not a matter of finding what's unreasonable, but rather finding what's reasonable at all!
After pondering the logic behind Liang's proposal, the Taurus Director felt as if his brain had been jolted by a wild boar, with his thoughts scattered in all directions.
Feeling that you can't defeat the Azure King and the Crimson King, two Pillar Deities, you plan to sneak attack one of them first. To create this opportunity, you intend to descend into the Abyss, spend a month capturing seven Pillar Deities to unify the Abyss, and then lead them to form an alliance with the Azure King and the Crimson King? This plan isn't just impractical; it's like using a small tube of wasabi to catch a whale for sashimi! It's utterly absurd!
"Aquarius, you... shouldn't you think about it again?"
After staring into Liang's eyes several times to confirm he wasn't crazy, the Cancer Director couldn't help but smack his lips and then dryly reminded him:
"The Dungeon Gate Hundred Dungeons is the domain of the Demons. Under the endless influence of original sin in the Dungeon Gate Hundred Dungeons, the Cardinal Sin Demons' strength will be immensely enhanced, to the point where they can almost match the Four Ultimate Pillars. You..."
"I will also be strengthened."
Thinking about his sister's potential future of "descending into hell," Liang, who was planning to seize the opportunity to sneak attack the Azure and Crimson Kings while also investigating the Dungeon Gate Hundred Dungeons, insisted:
"I plan to use the Abnormal Rebirth Secret Art to merge with the Seven Sheep Miscellaneous... the set of abnormal objects that each control one of the seven deadly sins. This will allow me to receive the same enhancement from the Dungeon Gate Hundred Dungeons.
Moreover, each of the seven Cardinal Sin Demons only controls one deadly sin, so they can only receive one type of enhancement. If I merge with the Seven Sheep Miscellaneous, I can simultaneously receive the seven deadly sins' enhancements, making me the one with the advantage."
"..."
While the logic seems to hold, why does it feel more and more absurd?
"Liang..."
After the Cancer Director conceded, the Taurus Director couldn't resist questioning:
"But those are seven Cardinal Sin Demons. Even if you can successfully sneak attack them, how can you control them and make them obediently accompany you in attacking Heaven Mountain?"
"Don't worry, I have a way to control them."
Unwilling to reveal that he can control demons directly with the "I Am the Devil" effect, Liang raised his hand, which was coated with "Glossy Black," and half-truthfully fibbed:
"After awakening the same ability as the Third Generation Honorable on the Yuanshentai, I tried communicating with the Sheep Miscellaneous. It said that my hands are effective against demons.
If I can successfully sneak attack them, I can suppress and extract the original sin from the Cardinal Sin Demons using these hands, even killing them completely, which will make them listen quietly."
"..."
"Are there any other questions?"
Yes! Very much so!
Seeing Liang, who in less than five minutes, proposed an extremely exaggerated sneak attack plan, the Taurus Director couldn't help but clutch his abdomen, regretting to the core.
Remember when there was an abnormal movement on Heaven Mountain, and I suggested to Olive that Liang should check out the Abyss when he had the time, ideally to cause some trouble for the demons to prevent the power imbalance between Heaven and the Abyss?
Now, it seems I overthought it... because Liang plans to unify the Abyss and then lead the demons to attack Heaven Mountain directly!!!
