For a time.
Otsutsuki Meishiki was deeply troubled as well.
Only three possible options lay before Meishiki now.
First:
Continue with the current strategy of splitting their forces, with one [Otsutsuki Demigod] assigned to each war zone.
This would maximize both invasion and occupation efficiency, allowing them to seize vast territories quickly.
That had been the main reason for choosing this plan in the first place.
But now, the risks were enormous.
If they continued splitting their forces, any lone [Otsutsuki Demigod] could be ambushed by the [Evil God]'s side.
Four against one.
It would be a complete slaughter!
There was a high chance that today's tragedy would happen again.
And the Otsutsuki absolutely could not afford to lose another [Demigod] so easily!
Therefore, this option was far too risky.
Unless they had no other choice, this strategy had to be replaced.
Second:
Greatly consolidate their forces, gathering all troops and Demigods together before advancing in a single direction.
This was undoubtedly the safest and most reliable approach.
Meishiki was one hundred percent certain.
If they moved as a group, the enemy could never defeat their combined force of eleven [Demigods].
Otherwise, that [Evil God] would have already gathered its forces for a direct battle.
It would never have resorted to such despicable and inefficient hunting tactics.
The enemy was clearly too weak, which was why they intended to pick them off one by one. Once the overall balance of power tipped in their favor, they would launch their final assault!
Clenching their fist would certainly be safer.
But the drawbacks were equally obvious.
Their exploration and occupation efficiency would be at its lowest; who knew how long it would take before they occupied enough of the [New Nursery].
The gap between onefold growth and ninefold growth was anything but
