Chapter 502: Using the Unchanging to Respond to the Ever-Changing

As one of the top three most powerful bosses in the other world, the power level of the God of Wrath, Jie'e, far surpasses that of a typical pseudo-king-level boss.

Of course, numerical strength is secondary.

What matters most is the strength in terms of consciousness.

Although the God of Wrath is currently at pseudo-king level, its consciousness has long reached the height of a quasi-king.

Circulating the power of transformation in its body to the extreme.

By continuously transforming into various monsters or classes with strong defensive power, it uses their defensive skills to block attacks from Zhang Yue and the pet group.

While simultaneously seizing the opportunity to transform into high-attack power targets to launch counterattacks.

The Armageddon Black Dragon, Apex Predator, and Ice-Sealed War God were quickly severely injured.

Even with the Void Shield that provides twelve times the health limit, they could not withstand Jie'e's continuous damage.

Seeing that the Void Shields on several pets were about to be broken, Zhang Yue decisively changed his attack target.

He locked on the professional players of the Seven Great Nations nearby.

Coincidentally, they had approached and were about to launch a sneak attack on Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue swung his Transcendent Staff, casting an SSS-level Thundercloud Storm + Lightning Roar + Death Storm, locking three different surrounding positions to unleash.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

When the dazzling brilliance of the SSS-level skills covered the entire field, a vast wave of damage exceeding 500 million wiped out all Seven Nations professional players within the skill attack range.

Calculations showed that the fourth job advancement brought Zhang Yue approximately a 50% damage increase.

With full damage dealt, 100% of it was converted into shields.

In an instant, the Void Shields on both himself and his pets were restored.

From then on, the people of the Seven Nations became tools for Zhang Yue to farm Void Shields.

As long as the shields on them were almost destroyed by the God of Wrath, he would absorb a bit from the Seven Nations people to restore them.

And the Seven Nations' plan to ambush and control Zhang Yue never had a chance to come to fruition.

Because they discovered: let alone ambushing Zhang Yue, they didn't even have a chance to get close to him.

Unless Zhang Yue needed something and deliberately let them approach, using them to farm some Void Shield.

Using the unchanging to respond to the ever-changing.

No matter how the God of Wrath changed forms, Zhang Yue always precisely grasped one point, which is that in every transformation of the God of Wrath, there would be a 0.1-second gap, that was the God of Wrath's most vulnerable moment.

Ordinary people would likely struggle to seize that moment.

Because the timing window of 0.1 seconds is so brief that most people simply can't react in time.

However, Zhang Yue was no ordinary person.

BOOM!

At the exact moment when the God of Wrath was transforming, Zhang Yue swiftly cast a spell, an SSS-level Thunderbolt: Dance of Lightning struck the God of Wrath fiercely.

-260 million!

With the effect of the SSS-level unique skill [Death: Eye of the Thunder God], Zhang Yue could completely penetrate the defense of a pseudo-king-level boss, but the God of Wrath's damage reduction was significant, making Zhang Yue's damage on the God of Wrath drop considerably.

Still, Zhang Yue's attack successfully interrupted the God of Wrath's transformation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yue followed up with Voidless: Godslaying Curse + Thunderous Wrath + Shattered Thunder, a combo of single-target skills, stacking up more than 900 million damage in total, instantly taking off 40% of the God of Wrath's HP.

The reason he knew the God of Wrath's weakness naturally stemmed from past-life experience.

He had fought the three main gods for too long.

Not just the God of Wrath, Zhang Yue remembered the weaknesses of the other two main gods clearly as well.

Using several pets to enter and draw aggro, Zhang Yue kept his eyes on the God of Wrath at all times, seizing every opportunity when it was about to change forms, using that moment to inflict heavy damage.

Although not every time could he hit that 0.1-second window, in most cases, Zhang Yue could grasp it accurately.

Under Zhang Yue's precise strikes, the God of Wrath found itself gradually falling into disadvantage.

Although it knew that with Zhang Yue's power, killing it temporarily was difficult, likewise, with its own current power, trying to kill Zhang Yue was even more impossible.

"This seat has truly underestimated your strength!"

"Seems like only by retrieving the Fatal Lock can I truly kill you!"

Realizing that continuing this battle was meaningless, the God of Wrath transformed into a [Necromancer], waving its staff to summon an undead army to launch an attack on Zhang Yue.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Zhang Yue swiftly cast several AOE skills, easily wiping out thousands of undead troops.

But in the next second, the God of Wrath had already transformed into a black cloud, drifting away into the distant sky.

"It actually ran?", Zhang Yue couldn't help but be shocked.

However, Zhang Yue didn't pursue.

Because with his current strength, he was still not at the point where he could one-shot the God of Wrath.

Moreover, the God of Wrath possessed aerial attack capabilities.

Even if Zhang Yue chased on dragonback, according to the otherworld's rules, Zhang Yue couldn't attack enemies in the air, just relying on the Armageddon Black Dragon, how could he handle the God of Wrath?

Watching the God of Wrath leave, even the Seven Nations people on the field were stunned.

"What the hell, that guy actually ran?"

"Slipped away alone, not caring about us?"

At this moment, Zhang Yue flashed into the crowd of the Seven Great Nations.

Facing their astonished faces, he said, "Is this the ally you trusted?"

"It seems it ditched you and ran away alone, huh?"

Without waiting for them to reply, Zhang Yue cut straight to the point: "Where is the Fatal Lock?"

"What Fatal Lock? What are you talking about?", Vicks asked with a confused face.

'It looks like he truly doesn't know.'

'Perhaps the God of Wrath never told them exactly what it wants them to help find.'

So, Zhang Yue continued, "The thing that guy just now was cooperating with you to find."

Higashino Shinjo snorted coldly, "What do you think you are? Why should I tell you anything?"

"Not talking? That's simple," Zhang Yue's icy gaze swept over the professional players of the Seven Nations and said, "Then let's follow the old rules. As for what rules, I'm sure I don't need to repeat myself, right?"

Everyone present certainly understood what Zhang Yue meant was to make them kill each other!

Just like before, winner lives, loser forgotten.

While everyone hesitated—

Higashino Shinjo shouted, "Now is the time for the Seven Nations to unite as one, brothers, don't be threatened by Zero! If we fight each other, we'll fall into his trap."

"He definitely doesn't have many Death Marks, even if he kills us, we'll revive!"

"To die for the glory of the Nation is a worthy death! We will all become heroes!"

Inspired by Higashino Shinjo, the morale of the Seven Nations' troops instantly rose.

Everyone displayed a fearless posture, ready to fight Zhang Yue.
