Meng Die appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly she was starting to panic.
If three Higher Strange God attack simultaneously and still can't take down a small Outpost City, she'll be a laughingstock as long as she lives.
Even more terrifying is that my house has now been burgled.
In an instant, many thoughts raced through Meng Die's mind.
One thought after another surged uncontrollably into my mind.
Even if the gods Deep Descent so many times, it won't be without any impact.
"Could he possess some secret I don't know about, making him immune to the Deep Descent?"
"Or perhaps it was a trap... He had long anticipated this day, going with the flow, his real aim being the inner circle."
The most dangerous thing is overthinking things.
Meng Die's expression kept changing as she gradually formed a more complete image of Qin Ze in her mind—a treacherous, cunning, despicable, and scheming man.
Qin Ze wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but his mind wasn't as foggy anymore.
Damn it!
Meng Die suddenly felt that she couldn't delay any longer.
She clenched her fists, wanting to kill Qin Ze instantly.
The two nested powers were primarily intended to bury Star Eyes and Yue Sheng.
But Meng Die didn't expect Yue Sheng to be absent.
The other person was still in the city the day before.
Miss Sword Case is a character who can threaten the Snake Woman's authority.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to put Miss Sword Case into "slumber," so that they could place all the dreams and dimensional nodes on Qin Ze.
The selection of "nodes" is very important.
Too weak won't do; it won't be able to support the dream.
Too much power is also not good; staying constantly alert will make one aware of things, increasing the risk.
Meng Die ultimately chose Qin Ze.
During their last encounter, she discovered that Qin Ze's mental strength was extraordinary, making him perfect for use as a pivot point.
But what she didn't know was that people can change a lot in just three days.
Qin Ze is no longer the same as before; his mental strength is now on par with that of a low-ranking Star God.
According to Meng Die's original plan, with several consecutive Deep Descent, the "weak" mortal Qin Ze would be forever lost, Star Eyes and Yue Sheng would never find this "node".
All that remains is time; the nested dual authority will slowly bleed Star Eyes, like a dull knife cutting flesh, until it dies.
But now, a variable has appeared in Qin Ze, whom Meng Die and the Snake Woman believed was unlikely to ever change.
He remained conscious despite countless Deep Descent.
If he discovers the secret of the nodes, this "battle of wits" can end sooner.
Although taking action now could eliminate Qin Ze, Star Eyes hasn't been significantly weakened yet.
If the dream collapses, Star Eyes breaks free, and joins forces with Yue Sheng outside, the consequences will be irreversible.
Meng Die's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "He's stalling for time, buying time for the attackers on the defensive line."
"Besides Star Eyes and Yue Sheng, this damned Alliance must have other Star God!"
"That despicable mortal! We've all been fooled by him!"
Qin Ze had no idea that Meng Die had imagined so much.
He kept spewing trash talk, trying to provoke Meng Die into attacking him.
However, Qin Ze noticed that Meng Die's gaze towards him was gradually becoming sharper.
He spoke until his throat was dry, but the other party remained unmoved.
Meng Die was still weighing the pros and cons of making a move.
Just then, the Snake Woman's voice rang in my ears.
"What are you doing? We're about to Deep Descent, get out now!"
Meng Die snapped out of her daze and vanished, transforming into a flurry of butterflies.
"Aren't you leaving already, buddy?"
Meng Die remained silent from beginning to end, which made Qin Ze very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a giant black python appeared, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed Qin Ze into its massive stomach.
A white light appeared, signaling the start of a new Deep Descent.
"We've established a firm foothold on the first and second lines of defense," Brother Devour said in the Local Area Network.
"As you predicted, the Goddess of the Earth intervened and blocked the Strange God on the third line of defense."
Qin Ze said, "I had the Forest Clan supply her with nearly ten thousand tree fruits in total."
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
The person who wants to get the Pretty God for free hasn't been born yet.
Brother Devour continued, " The Strange God on the fourth and fifth lines haven't moved. If they come to reinforce us, the First Legion will likely be wiped out."
The current Goddess of the Earth is at her limit in temporarily resisting a single ascendant deity.
Qin Ze reassured Brother Devour, "The other side hasn't figured out our strength yet."
" The Strange God' of the fourth and fifth lines of defense will not act easily."
"They're worried about repeating the same mistakes; we're using a diversionary tactic."
The Son of the Version then said, "I'm already on my way back. Niuniu asked me to bring the New Land's alien beasts to provide support."
Battle General is someone used in battle.
This is Thousand Faces's responsibility and duty as Battle General of the Niuniu Clan.
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, "Follow Niuniu's instructions and proceed as normal."
"But the Abyss is so vast, getting lost is quite normal, isn't it?"
Thousand Faces immediately understood Qin Ze's meaning. "It still has to be you, God of Trickery."
Qin Ze suddenly realized that the Deep Descent had ended and his spirit was completely intact.
"Has the Strange God changed its nature?"
Qin Ze flew over the Outpost City and began waiting for the NPCs to respawn.
"It's not that the Strange God has changed his nature, it's that the Sophist's passive ability has been triggered..."
Qin Ze thought of the complicated look in Meng Die's eyes when she looked at him just now.
The appearance of the First Legion caught Meng Die completely off guard.
Qin Ze smiled slightly, "I enjoy playing against opponents with brains; that's where my wisdom and strength are truly demonstrated."
"Watch carefully, learn carefully, and stop thinking about fighting and killing all day long."
The Clown said, "Didn't you say before that fighting with magic was the most annoying thing, and that it's easier to settle things with fists?"
The smile on Qin Ze's face vanished, "Ugly, I have an important task for you to do."
"You split up the forces into two groups and launch a surprise attack on Niuniu."
Clown:"..."
The Dharma King said, "Why don't you have him split up and act separately?"
The Sophist shouted, "Open your eyes wide and see who's really in the C position!"
"What demigod soul beads, what imprisoned players, I am the true answer to this version!"
Qin Ze said casually, "Okay, go have some fun."
The water is getting muddier the more it's stirred.
It's estimated that Meng Die's side is also starting to lose its composure.
But the situation remains unchanged.
Qin Ze's most urgent task is to stop this damned Deep Descent.
However, Meng Die remained as steady as a turtle, unmoved by Qin Ze's trash talk.
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "If she attacks me, she will hurt me. Is she afraid that I will get hurt?"
Thinking of this, Qin Ze suddenly had a good idea.
"Since she won't do it, why don't I just do it myself?"
His Dharma King: "Genius! Discharge from the hospital!"
Thousand Faces chimed in, "Good heavens, who can tell you apart from the cunning strategist?"
A Bing: "Please, Your Majesty, quickly commit suicide and return to heaven!"
While Qin Ze was pondering the feasibility of this plan, the NPC Meng Die refreshed.
Seeing that Qin Ze's spirit had not been cut off at all, Meng Die's suspicions were immediately confirmed.
She whispered to herself, "This can't go on..."
