92: Chapter 92 Inanimate Objects
Gu Han took a moment to quickly check the betting pool. He could actually place bets, but he could only bet on himself to win, not lose, and the odds were halved.
Halved was halved; it was still better than nothing.
Gu Han went all-in with his 300 million capital card, betting on himself to win. A large influx of funds caused the odds to drop immediately, narrowing the gap to four times. He didn't bother looking at the falling odds anymore; if he won, he might get double, which was still acceptable.
"Undead Scourge?"
Gu Han immediately submerged his consciousness into his Divine Kingdom.
At this moment, in the livestream room, over a million viewers were observing Gu Han's Divine Kingdom through the perspective of the challenger, [Undead Scourge].
The screen was filled with thick, gray fog.
Vast patches of strange flowers beneath their feet were billowing smoke, occasionally emitting strange cries, severely obstructing their line of sight.
Deep within this fog, defensive structures of various sizes stood vaguely in the distance.
"Old Granny's terrain is just too disgusting. You can't see anything at all."
"It's all fog; just a desperate struggle."
"It's a pity for Old Granny, encountering the Undead Scourge."
The opponent's Divine Kingdom opened a teleportation portal.
A large number of green-skinned Goblins poured out from the portal.
Gu Han, positioned high in his Divine Kingdom, looked down at the dense mass of green and pulled up the detection panel of his smart assistant.
200,000 ordinary Goblins.
80,000 Level 1 Goblins.
60,000 Level 2 Goblins.
35,000 Level 3 Goblins.
5,000 Level 4 Goblins.
A total of 380,000 enemy troops.
Gu Han sucked in a cold breath as he looked at these numbers.
The opponent's troop count was truly exaggerated. Wasn't he some kind of Undead Scourge? How was he raising Goblins?
Fortunately, Gu Han was fighting on his home turf.
Currently, there were 200,000 Ant-men in his Divine Kingdom, plus 200,000 Hidden-Armor Ant-Man.
The 200,000 ordinary Goblins posed no threat at all in Gu Han's eyes; one-on-one, the Hidden-Armor Ant-Man were enough to kill the Goblins.
"Attack."
[Undead Scourge] didn't waste any words and directly issued the command.
The 380,000 Goblins began to advance. Before they even stepped into the patch of Cyst Demon Flower, many Goblins died one after another from inhaling the toxic gas.
They tried to destroy the swaying Cyst Demon Flower, only to be met with a mouthful of potent toxin from the Cyst Demon Flower. The 200,000 ordinary Goblins were dying rapidly.
Large patches of steel spikes suddenly erupted from the ground. The hundreds of Level 1 Goblins rushing at the front were pierced through their bodies, screaming as they hung on the spikes.
Immediately after, the high-level arrow towers hidden in the fog began to operate. Thick arrows shot out with a whistling sound, carving out empty paths through the Goblin horde.
The toxic gas in the flower patch became increasingly thick. The ordinary Goblins were completely wiped out. The Level 1 and Level 2 Goblins had slightly better resistance to the toxin, but they only lasted a few dozen meters longer before falling in droves.
Gu Han's brows were tightly knitted; he felt something was wrong. The opponent's command was too abnormal; this was completely sending low-tier units out to die. So far, 340,000 Goblins had already died.
The Level 3 Goblins trampled over the corpses of their companions to rush through the flower patch. Their bodies were covered in the venom of the Cyst Demon Flower, and their skin began to blacken and fester, but it wasn't yet life-threatening.
As soon as they rushed out of the toxic fog zone, the repeating crossbow beds Gu Han had deployed in the inner circle all opened fire. Dense crossbow bolts covered the area.
The Level 3 Goblins, already suffering from severe poisoning, were unable to resist and were soon wiped out.
He stared intently at the remaining 5,000 Level 4 Goblins that were still advancing. The opponent's Divine Lord had remained motionless, not even using a single skill.
Gu Han did not order the Ant-men to go out and intercept. The toxic fog on the perimeter was too thick. The toxic gas of the Cyst Demon Flower did not distinguish between friend and foe; if the Ant-men rushed out, they would not be able to withstand that potent toxin either.
Until they entered the heart of the battlefield, the recovery ability of the Level 4 transcendent creatures was terrifying. The toxins of the Cyst Demon Flower had just started to take effect on them before being forcibly suppressed by their powerful constitutions.
"Engage!" Gu Han decisively issued the command.
The Ant-men army that had been lurking in the heart of the territory surged out instantly. On the fog-filled battlefield, both sides collided directly.
The Shield-Armored Ant-Men held the front line, using their hard shield-armor to withstand the maces of the Level 4 Goblins.
The Level 4 Goblins had immense strength; with one swing of a mace, the shells of the Shield-Armored Ant-Men shattered directly.
But the moment the shells shattered, the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man hidden behind them catapulted out, their heavy fists smashing fiercely into the Goblins' throats and eyes.
The melee combat was exceptionally brutal. The 5,000 Level 4 transcendent combat units were truly terrifying. Gu Han could only rely on the coordination of multiple unit types, using quantity to bridge the gap in quality.
The Hidden-Armor Ant-Man crawled into the Goblins' wounds to release venom, while the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man focused their fire on vital points.
It wasn't until the number of Ant-men dropped to 150,000 that the last Level 4 Goblin was finally smashed in the head by the combined efforts of several Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man. Only then did Gu Han gasp for air.
He stared at the corpses covering the ground, but he didn't wait for the system's prompt announcing victory.
"It's not over?" Gu Han's heart sank suddenly.
Undead Scourge.
The hair on Gu Han's body stood on end, and he quickly deployed all the remaining defensive buildings in his hand at the center of his territory.
A teeth-grinding sound echoed across the battlefield. On the livestream screen, the piles of corpses began to shake violently.
[Undead Scourge] finally activated his Divine Lord S-rank skill, [Bone Soldier Transformation].
The corpses of the 380,000 Goblins split open. Not only that, but the corpses of the 50,000 Ant-men who had died in battle just moments ago also split open.
One after another, stark white, standardized bone soldiers crawled out from the bloody corpses, their empty eye sockets burning with eerie green soul fire.
430,000 skeletal undead troops!
They casually picked up the weapons on the ground, rotated their fleshless cervical vertebrae, and slaughtered their way toward the remaining 150,000 Ant-men in the heart of the territory, like a mountain of bones collapsing, a white torrent surging in all directions.
Cold sweat seeped from Gu Han's forehead. He finally understood why the opponent had been sending units to die the whole time without panicking; the 380,000 Goblins were just to cover the entire battlefield with corpses.
These skeletal undead were all dead things; the toxic gas of the Cyst Demon Flower had no effect on them, and even the lightning of the Hidden-Armor Ant-Man was ineffective.
And his greatest trump card, the "Forced Breeding" skill, was completely useless in front of these piles of bones.
The army of bones completely submerged the remaining 150,000 Ant-men. The defensive buildings activated across the board. In an instant, the sound of weapons and iron clashing was endless, the black and white torrents churned together, and bone fragments flew everywhere on the scene.
The good news was that these undead did not inherit the strength of the deceased; the strength of each undead was around that of a Level 2 believer.
If not for this, Gu Han would definitely have lost this time. Only by having the million Ant-men in his Demigod Divine Kingdom come to the rescue could he resolve the situation of his Divine Kingdom being overrun; by then, it would be considered a violation of the competition rules and he would be disqualified.
[Undead Scourge] did not linger in battle either. He was very clear that his advantage lay in numbers; the Level 2 strength undead were actually not strong, there was no need to fight to the death, and he had to quickly move away from those defensive buildings.
As long as he mindlessly slaughtered his way into the heart of the Divine Kingdom, such a large army of undead would definitely be unstoppable. Taking the Divine Kingdom Core would quickly end this match; this was a tactic he had used many times with great success.
He ordered the undead to advance toward the heart of the Divine Kingdom, the white torrent completely ignoring the Ant-men army.
