46: Crazy, right? All five types of soldiers combined into one! A mythical demon descends!
Ghost Pig Rider
Quality: Legendary (Orange)
Population Cost: 10
Health: 1200
Attack: 400
Trait: Shadow Step (Evolution) — This unit enters deep stealth when not attacking, making it immune to active targeting by any hero or defensive tower.
Trait: Leap Walls (Evolution) — When attacking, this unit can ignore walls, leaping directly into the enemy fortress, and its first attack deals 300% damage.
Trait: Ceasefire — This unit ignores all enemy troops and heroes, focusing solely on defensive buildings as its target.
Lines of scorching orange data flowed like a divine brand, deeply etched into Lin Feng's retina.
It's done.
This was the god-slaying spear he desired.
A Ghost Spear capable of tearing through all defenses and piercing directly into the enemy's vitals.
The evolved Shadow Step could even bypass a hero's active targeting.
This meant it could brazenly pass through Little Devil's seemingly inescapable net of dense firepower, as if entering an unmanned territory.
And the combination of Leap Walls and Ceasefire granted it unparalleled precision.
An ultimate ability to strike directly at the heart and decapitate the core.
A cold thrill, mixed with an extreme desire for control, surged up Lin Feng's spine, almost breaking through his skull.
However, this emotion only rose in his mind for less than a second.
His brain, with an almost absolute zero calmness, instantly extinguished all emotional flames.
His thoughts raced, and a crystal-clear tactical simulation seemed to appear before his eyes.
The Ghost Pig Rider stealthily infiltrates.
Leaps over the wall.
The moment his Ghost War Pig landed, it was met not by panicked defensive towers.
But by a pre-prepared, indiscriminate magical inferno.
The Log roared.
Poison spread.
Fireballs rained down from the sky.
These area-of-effect damages, which didn't require active targeting, were an insurmountable chasm for its fragile body.
Little Devil's talent dictated that he was inevitably a madman who would implement a 'turtle strategy' to the bone.
He couldn't possibly not guard against this move.
In Lin Feng's pupils, the simulated scene became incredibly clear: the Ghost Pig Rider's mere 1200 health would instantly evaporate in the magical fire and poisonous mist, unable to even make a single attack.
A one-time assassination had an abysmal success rate.
This was still a gamble.
And Lin Feng never placed his hopes on vague luck.
"A sharp spear alone isn't enough."
Lin Feng's eyes grew deeper, chillingly devoid of any warmth.
"I also need a heavy enough hammer."
He needed a behemoth.
One that could exert terrifying, mountain-shattering pressure from the front lines, forcing the opponent to reveal all his magical trump cards!
Only when all of Little Devil's area-of-effect spells were forced out by this heavy hammer, could his spear, hidden in the shadows, deliver the most fatal blow!
His gaze fell back onto the blueprints of the Institute.
That terrifying figure in heavy armor, wielding twin blades, reappeared in his sight.
P.E.K.K.A. Superman.
A pure king of ground combat.
In front of the Hell Tower, it was merely a slow-moving, living target that would eventually be burned through by lava beams.
But what if…
A plan bolder and crazier than any before abruptly formed in his mind.
What if he gave this pure war machine wings of magic?
Lin Feng glanced at his population limit of two hundred, his will like a mountain, instantly pressing down on the barracks.
"Train, P.E.K.K.A. Superman x1!"
"Train, Goblin x1!"
"Train, Mage x3!"
Population Cost: 38
heavy oil Cost: 5310
Five units with vastly different styles, arguably completely unrelated, appeared simultaneously on the training ground.
The hulking P.E.K.K.A. Superman, with a faint blue glow emanating from the seams of its armor, exuded a pure physical sense of oppression.
The slender Goblin, with cunning eyes and a slight forward lean, was ready to burst forth with astonishing speed at any moment.
Three Mages in blue robes, arcane energy coalescing in their hands, filled the air with a faint ozone scent.
An unprecedented, terrifying ritual, capable of overturning the entire war zone's understanding, was about to begin.
"Synthesize!"
Boom—!!!
Five beams of light, representing different attributes, shot into the sky, but instead of merging, they converged and collided savagely in mid-air!
This was not fusion.
This was a war! A bloody feast ofDevour!
P.E.K.K.A. Superman's violent, pure physical energy transformed into a black-iron behemoth, roaring to crush everything!
The Goblin's humble yet swift agility, like silent blades, frantically cut through the other energy bodies!
The three Mages' surging arcane torrents, meanwhile, wove into a net, attempting to decompose and assimilate allXenomorph energies!
Five vastly different forces, the moment they merged, began a brutal struggle of mutual consumption and conquest.
The entire fortress platform hummed and vibrated violently from this unprecedented five-unit fusion, as if it would fall apart the next second!
Ultimately, P.E.K.K.A. Superman's overbearing physical essence still took absolute dominance.
It let out a silent roar, forcefully crushing the will of the other four forces, then greedily absorbed their essence, not a single drop left, into its body!
The light suddenly collapsed inward, all the energy storms compressed into an extreme singularity, then burst open fiercely!
A brand new demon god, even taller and more ferocious than P.E.K.K.A. Superman, descended with a terrifying pressure that made the heavens and earth lose their color!
Its main body was still P.E.K.K.A. Superman's black-iron heavy armor, but in the seams of the armor, instead of a ghostly blue energy, there burned a fiery red, destructive flame like hellish magma.
Its iconic twin blades were wrapped in a thick layer of arcane crystal, and the blades constantly flickered with crackling chain lightning.
And its movement, abandoning P.E.K.K.A. Superman's heavy steps, became as swift and elusive as a Goblin, landing silently, yet carrying the pressure of a landslide.
"Ding! Epic Mutation! You have obtained the Mythical unit — Mystic Destroyer!"
Mystic Destroyer
Quality: Mythical (Red)
Population Cost: 40
Health: 8000
Attack: 1500 (Melee, with Chain Lightning magic damage)
Attack Speed: 1.5 seconds / attack
Movement Speed: 25
Trait: Magic Armor — All magic damage taken is reduced by 50%.
Trait: Destructive Charge — Upon initiating the first attack, instantly teleports to the target's front and deals 300% damage.
Trait: Energy Drain — Each attack restores 10% of the damage dealt as health to itself.
Looking at this perfect war machine, which combined tankiness, burst damage, speed, sustain, and magic damage, with almost no weaknesses, Lin Feng's breathing involuntarily hitched.
Mythical quality.
This was the 'heavy hammer' he desired, capable of smashing open any turtle shell.
With it, he would have enough confidence to force out all of Little Devil's trump cards, one by one, on the front lines.
Both spear and hammer were now in hand.
Now, only the final armament remained.
