Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God

Chapter 257: Novices?



Wave control was a science.

In almost all competitive MOBA games, there was an emphasis on wave control, or wave management. However, because of the differing rules, the method and purpose of wave management were also different.

Gu Nan was proficient in almost all kinds of games, and this was naturally no exception.

He remained in front of the "minion wave" in a place not too near or too far away, floating in the air with the help of the law of shadows. He didn't make a move and just observed the field.

The two enemies on the opposite side, one old and one young, weren’t sure what he was doing, so they didn’t rush to take action for the time being and started waiting instead.

According to the normal train of thought in this world, the warring parties should be minions fighting against other minions and champions fighting against other champions, which was why the young man hurried to instantly kill a soldier before he started fighting champions.

In this way, when one side’s champions are forced to retreat due to injuries or are simply killed, then the other side’s champions can help their own minions and win the battle.

"Do you also think so?" Gu Nan had also heard Zi Dian and Ying Ge’s strategy before and only felt that it was a little laughable. Right now, he was asking Wu Gui.

Wu Gui nodded. "Immortal Kingdoms exist in the Myriad Heavens Universe. This is how wars between Immortal Kingdoms are fought."

Gu Nan, however, was noncommittal and only said, "The goal of war might be victory, but that’s not our goal right now."

Wu Gui paused slightly at that. Before she could react, Gu Nan's figure had disappeared and reappeared in front of a minion below.

That minion was already critically injured and seemed to be one step away from death. Therefore, Gu Nan only needed to exert minimal effort, and the minion’s head fell off with almost a gentle push.

The next second, two figures simultaneously materialized beside him. They were precisely the enemy champions.

"Die!" The young man's speed was obviously faster, and his whole body began to glow again. Clearly, this was his ability.

"Movement acceleration, attack bonus, pseudo-dash."

Gu Nan's indifferent gaze swept past him, immediately determining the characteristics of the other party's light-transforming ability.

Immediately afterwards, he instantly learned the Blink ability with a thought. His figure disappeared in front of the two opponents and reappeared behind Wu Gui, who was in front of the minion wave.

The two enemies were clearly taken aback for a second, but they quickly controlled their emotions. They weren’t in a hurry to pursue Gu Nan at all.

The older one was Star Ruler Mi Luo, and the younger one was Star Ruler Mi Tian. As for their relationship, probably no one would be able to guess—they were twins.

The “Mi duo” were also “veteran players” of Champions World. They understood very well that they must never go beyond the "battle line" to pursue enemies, otherwise the losses would outweigh the gains.

The troops from both bases were divided into various types, but ultimately, they could be divided into ranged and melee categories.

Crossing the battle line will immediately attract the attack of enemy archers. Under "Prodigious suppression," these ordinary minions could even hurt Star Rulers.

On the White Base’s side, Gu Nan couldn’t help frowning slightly when he briefly sensed the energy consumption.

As he expected, a single Blink consumed far more energy than it did in the outside world. Based on this scale, he could only use twenty consecutive Blinks at most.

But in actual combat, other abilities were just as energy-intensive, so the actual number of times Blink could be used was less than twenty.

"Big Brother, what should we do?" Star Ruler Mi Tian, who didn’t look older than twenty, asked the elderly man next to him.

This pair of twins who looked two generations apart in appearance could communicate with each other just fine.

Star Ruler Mi Luo answered, "That person learned a movement ability, so his attack power is bound to be insufficient. We will attack the soldiers directly."

Both of them had entered Champions World many times before, so they knew a lot about the abilities that could be learned.

The abilities that could be ranked up using skill points consist of two actives and one passive. Of the three abilities, one would certainly be attack, one would be defense, and the last one would be a movement ability, which could be adjusted based on each person's situation.

The other side learned a movement ability as soon as the battle started, so he would never be able to beat the two of them in attack power. Moreover, they also had the attack bonus from the black lane.

This was equivalent to giving up a wave of soldiers… ‘He’s obviously a novice!’

The twins glanced at each other and silently rejoiced at their good luck.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two started pushing the wave. Their attacks kept hitting minions from the White Base, making these ordinary people suffer unspeakable misery.

"Brothers! Persevere!" A leader shouted from within the troops.

He originally would’ve added, "The esteemed champions will soon help us," but he really couldn't say that now—Gu Nan and Wu Gui were just standing quietly to the side with no intention of helping.

"Aren't we going to attack?" Wu Gui looked at the calm Gu Nan and couldn’t help asking.

In reality, she didn't understand Gu Nan's actions at all, but reason told her that since the other party knew more than her, he must have his reasons for not taking action.

Otherwise, how could she be the type of person to obediently listen to others?

"You can attack, but remember not to attack the minions." Gu Nan said casually, "Time your attacks to when they kill the minions. They won’t be able to fight back then."

……

On the white lane.

Ying Ge and Zi Dian’s current situation was practically the same as Gu Nan’s, except they were the side pushing the wave, while their two opponents were being beaten back.

"Their coordination is just so-so. They’re probably a patchwork team thrown together at the last minute." Zi Dian took care of another enemy minion with his sword and said, "Looks like those two went to the other lane.”

Ying Ge nodded silently. Ying Ge and Zi Dian’s previous explorations didn't yield much, but it wasn’t like they didn’t encounter anyone.

What they met was a team with tacit coordination, but the two sides only fought briefly, so they couldn't draw too many conclusions back then. Now, however, they could make a judgment.

"I hope they don't get pushed back too badly," Ying Ge said with a heavy voice as she slashed out with the crescent blade in her hand. A faint blood-red mist flowed out.

Her own strength no longer mattered inside the Myriad Heavens Starry Road. Everything was shaped by the laws of this plane, plus she still had her knowledge and experience.

When she said this, the bloody mist from Ying Ge’s blade slammed into the enemy’s city wall, creating a hissing sound.

This was her attack ability, which dealt unimaginable damage to the city wall!

……

On the black lane.

Wu Gui had been fighting the enemy champions all this time, while Gu Nan spent most of his time watching from the sidelines, only moving out to deal the last blow to dying enemies.

Because of their strategy, it didn't take long for the “minion wave" to be pushed towards them, and it was harder for Wu Gui to attack now—there were too many enemies.

This wave of minions were all from the Black Base. They surged forth towards Gu Nan like a tide.

"This offensive wave might be able to shave off 10% of the enemy city wall’s energy," Star Ruler Mi Luo’s elderly face was smiling so much that his wrinkles were practically pushed together.

Truthfully, he had never seen such a cooperative opponent before. Only one attacked the champions, while the other one basically spectated the entire time… If this went on, it wouldn’t be long before they could break through the city walls!

Once the city walls are breached, they’ll have the ability to directly attack the White Base, which is equivalent to winning half of the battle.

On the opposite side, Wu Gui had already retreated to Gu Nan's side. At this time, she could only give a light sigh. "Let’s retreat first. We can just defend the city walls."

"You go back." But Gu Nan shook his head. "I'll pull the wave."
