Chapter 761: Chapter 761 - 347: The Correct Tactics for Civilization Warfare (Part 3)
He turned his head with a somber expression, only to realize that at some point, a faint layer of mist had enveloped the surroundings. In Chu Xiu’s hands, his left hand held a small chessboard, and his right hand held a scepter, with spiritual light emanating from these two items, covering the nearby area!
"If one Domain is not enough to counter Civilization, what about four?" Chu Xiu said with a faint smile.
Sinful Fire Purgatory! Ghost King Domain! Inch Ghost Land! Scepter of Oraste!
Even Demigod powerhouses can’t all possess a Domain, and the Murder Ghost never expected Chu Xiu to have four!
Yet...
"Tricks," the Murder Ghost sneered as he looked around. "What use are such Low Tier Domains, no matter how many there are?"
"Under the suppression of my Civilization, it won’t be long before they run out of Energy and collapse completely!"
Chu Xiu’s Domains were naturally not Low Tier Domains, but what the Murder Ghost said was also true. If Civilization Domains were so easily dealt with, they wouldn’t be the core foundation of a Civilization.
Only the Domain of a God can suppress a Civilization Domain.
But Chu Xiu remained calm: "I have discovered the weakness of the Civilization Domain."
The Murder Ghost’s eyelid twitched, discovered the weakness of the Civilization Domain? How could that be possible?
It was clear that Chu Xiu was out of strategies, but somehow, an intense sense of danger rose in the Murder Ghost’s heart!
He let out a low roar, rocketing forward, his glaive transformed again into countless black Blade Slashes, hacking toward Chu Xiu!
Chu Xiu remained composed, and three figures appeared around him, then shot out, shrouded in dense fog, obscuring their features. Behind each figure followed numerous ghosts, forming a kind of Battle Array, continuously providing them with Power.
With their appearance, the density of the Ghostly Mist in the field increased significantly.
The Murder Ghost immediately realized that these three were the things that formed the Domains!
But he was not afraid, charging directly into the Ghostly Mist, the scarlet Power of Civilization burning, granting him unparalleled Power. He didn’t believe these incomplete Domains, no matter how numerous, could surpass him!
And the fact proved him right; in less than a second, the Murder Ghost clashed with Chu Xiu dozens of times! And each time, he had the upper hand!
The successive heavy blows had already cracked the web of Chu Xiu’s hand, almost making him lose grip of his Heavy Sword!
"So it was just a bluff."
The Murder Ghost slightly relaxed, but just as he was about to take advantage of this to completely kill Chu Xiu, he suddenly seemed to sense something and quickly turned to look back!
Only to see that of the three figures that had rushed out initially, only two remained to maintain the Domains, while another had already rushed out of the Domains, heading toward the Civilization Giant at an extremely fast Speed!
That figure was blood-red all over, it was the Blood Demon Incarnation!
The Murder Ghost instantly realized; he hadn’t noticed the change in the Domains, so he thought all three creatures had remained nearby, but in reality, two creatures maintained the Domains, while one had taken advantage of his focused attention on Chu Xiu to break away from the battle!
This creature appeared to have burned itself as fuel for the Sinful Fire, but in reality, under the effect of the Blood Demon’s Special Ability, it burned away unnecessary parts, converting them entirely into core Speed. At this moment, the Blood Demon Incarnation had streamlined itself into a sparrow only palm-sized, moving twice as fast as it did in peak condition!
In a second, it had reached near the Civilization Giant!
At its waist hung a small flag surrounded by Demonic Qi, the Myriad Ghosts Banner! As the blood light on the Blood Demon Incarnation surged, in the next instant, countless ghosts gushed out, charging toward the surrounding Prayer Towers!
The Murder Ghost’s expression changed drastically, roaring as he charged back, but by then, Chu Xiu, the Purgatory Demon Corpse, two Ghost Kings, and the hundreds of Ghost Generals assisting the Ghost Kings had already formed a siege, desperately entangling the Murder Ghost!
Within the Triple Domain, even he couldn’t easily break free from the relentless harassment of so many powerful entities!
"You think these Low Tier entities can destroy my Civilization Giant?" the Murder Ghost roared, realizing that all of Chu Xiu’s elite forces were there to hold him down, while the charging ghosts, though numerous, included only a handful of High-tier Ghosts!
Driven by his will, the Civilization Giant struck out with its palm, instantly shattering the Soul Bodies of countless ghosts beneath it!
But Chu Xiu only chuckled softly: "You and I both know, my target is not the Giant."
A massive wave of ghosts was about to reach the nearby Prayer Towers!
The Murder Ghost panicked, growling in a low voice: "Molten Earth’s End!"
As the words fell, the Civilization Giant’s body erupted like a volcano, spewing a massive amount of lava all around!
This lava, inside the Civilization Giant, formed a high-temperature, high-pressure molten state, far beyond conventional lava, more akin to the molten metal jets from a rocket explosion! Temperatures soared to eight thousand degrees Celsius, with speeds breaking two thousand meters per second!
The quantity was unfathomable, as if thousands of volcanoes erupted simultaneously!
The lava spewed towards all directions, instantly burning through countless ghost Soul Bodies, turning the area around the Civilization Giant into a burning apocalypse!
However, the special ability of the Civilization Giant seemed to target "Civilization" rather than "individuals."
The damage Effect of this Skill was focused more on altering and destroying the surrounding area rather than targeting specific entities!
Thus, although many ghosts were killed, nearly half of them still made it through the lava, charging into the Prayer Towers!
"Get out!!!"
The Murder Ghost bellowed, tossing away the Ghost King, cleaving three High-tier Ghost Generals in front of him, dodging the Purgatory Demon Corpse’s sneak attack, and then quickly striking it with a backhand punch, nearly shattering half of its body. But by then, three more High-tier Ghost Generals had charged up, stubbornly binding his steps, while behind him, hundreds of Ghost Generals used the Wraith Entanglement Skill to hinder his movements!
Initially, every move by the Murder Ghost dealt considerable damage, but gradually, whether in Power or Speed, he began to slow down!
"The weakness of the Civilization Domain lies in that the Power of Civilization can only concentrate on one person; if dispersed, its Power greatly diminishes."
"When divided in two, the total Power may decrease several times over!"
The Power of Civilization is the Power of faith, only when the faith is singular can it unify the will of the entire Civilization, unleashing unbelievable Effects.
It’s like the Sacred Court of a monotheistic religion, able to wield astonishing control over the secular world. But if one sect transforms into multiple sects, the result won’t be just dividing control but will greatly weaken the entire divine authority in constant conflict!
Throughout history, conflicts between different beliefs have either resulted in one side being destroyed or strengthening the secular power while weakening divine authority!
The Power of Civilization is the same!
Only by understanding this did Chu Xiu truly comprehend why Civilization wars required so many Low Tier soldiers.
In the Extraordinary world, one powerhouse could ostensibly destroy an entire Civilization through ambush, assassination, maneuvering, and harassment, so why rely on the Power of armies for invasion?
This is the answer!
The Power of the Master of Civilization cannot be dispersed; he can win a battle within the Domain range on his own but can’t prevent enemies from attacking the entire Civilization Domain’s borders simultaneously, leading to a completely collapsing front!
By continually striking across all fronts, causing disruption to the Civilization incrementally compresses the Domain of Civilization, ultimately weakening the Power of the Master of Civilization to the extreme!
Even if the Master of Civilization caused significant destruction, the invading Civilization can exhaust you by leveraging national Power dozens or even hundreds of times greater!
When the Civilization’s population is drastically reduced and the borders compressed to their limits, it marks the Civilization’s collapse.
This is the weakness of Civilization, and it’s the correct strategy in Civilization warfare!
At this moment, a vast number of ghosts stormed into the Prayer Towers, slaughtering madly, and as the number of Prayer Bug Men decreased sharply, the light on the Murder Ghost also gradually dimmed!
If he were in the Outer World he could still contend, but he had previously chosen to rush into Chu Xiu’s Triple Domain, and now, under the Domain’s suppression, he was gradually unable to hold on.
"The situation is settled."
The dazzling sword light bloomed in the air, and as the light fell, the defiant head of the Murder Ghost soared skywards!
