"Actually, the best way to deal with the Energy-Devouring Demon Sunflowers would have been to recruit powerful melee races. The bigger they were, the better."
The Hammer People, their nemesis, shared a method, but it was clearly impossible to carry out.
Ordinary melee units had a hard time fighting these things, but a giant could slowly stomp or crush them to death one by one. Giants were good wrestlers, too!
Hua Xueyi's failed attempt had already proven the limits of their Energy-Devouring Domain. They could not consume the bioenergy within living creatures!
Of course, if they could do that, they would not merely be the Natural Disaster of Energy Creatures, but the Natural Disaster of all life in the entire multiverse.
Polluted creatures could apparently bolster this resistance. Judging from the results, pure hand-to-hand combat was the most effective. Blunt weapons were useless because they were moving external objects, while sharp blades could work since they increased internal pressure on the target. However, the required sharpness was absurd—sharp enough to slice open its skin with the slightest force while pressed against it. That was simply impossible.
"...The decapitation failed, but that seems to be because it doesn't have a 'head.'"
Lu PingAn had also tried the Rule-level weapon, the Abyss Decapitation Sword, but the result was rather subtle.
It seemed that under the identification criteria of many abilities and items, it could not even be regarded as an independent "individual." It did not even count as "alive."
"...A bit like an automaton?"
"No. Why not imagine them as different flowers and branches growing from the same big tree?"
"...If that big tree exists, it must be pretty disgusting." Lu PingAn imagined a colossal tree sprouting countless Energy-Devouring Demon Sunflowers, their limbs dancing wildly across it like a horde of demons.
