Monsters Are Coming

The moon phase has changed, and the development strategy must change accordingly.

Its consciousness dives into the information network constructed by the Evil Eye, and intelligence from nodes where the 28 alliance members are located floods in like a tide, rapidly filtering and collating in its mind.

The names, strengths, and recent movements of each hostile force emerge clearly.

Finally, its gaze locks onto one power: Monument Abyss Clan.

This force once pushed it into a desperate situation in the last cycle.

Nearly destroyed the Evil Eye Tower and even killed the Evil Eye.

The humiliation and sense of crisis in that desperate situation remains fresh in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s memory.

But now is different from the past.

After a year of devouring growth, its strength has far surpassed back then.

Now, it also possesses the Evil Spirit Alliance with 28 allies as its backing.

"Monument Abyss Clan..." Cold killing intent emanated from the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s spiritual wave:

"Even with a demigod overseeing, it’s not impossible to fight."

Briefly conceived, the battle plan quickly took shape in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind.

The tri-party power confrontation in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range has a significant characteristic.

A single move affects everything.

As long as the Black Tide Army it controls leaves the tower and intervenes in external war, the player and insect forces are bound to follow suit.

Every time it happens this way.

Take for example, the last war against the Golden Domain.

Both the players and insects chose to follow along.

The reason why the player clan swarmed in is easy to understand, purely due to the race’s vile nature, eager to reap benefits in chaotic battles.

The insect race will rely on its expansion instincts to view the direction of the spreading flames as a new hunting ground.

These two forces are quite troublesome for it in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Yet directing the trouble externally can also become a powerful assault aid.

The trio sees each other as "filth monsters," but in external war mode, they all share the endless devouring growth trait.

Especially the player clan, battling for so many years, it still can’t figure out where the player clan’s land is.

Hence, the player clan is utterly fearless of the Monument Abyss Clan’s demigod and the cross-space trace-back strike.

If the players and insects can act as the main assault forces, this war will be without suspense.

But to be sure, the teleportation array it constructs next must add another layer of protection.

Preventing the Monument Abyss Clan on the other end from descending into the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range via space trajectory.

Only then can the risk be completely isolated, and turn the war into a prolonged attrition battle to erode Monument Abyss Clan’s foundation.

With a clear plan, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit immediately takes action.

It did not choose to construct the teleportation array near the tower or in areas frequented by players.

After careful deliberation, it set the target location at the edge of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, building toward the insect race’s Phantom Swamp region.

This location was chosen considering that it’s far enough from the tower’s core area, providing isolation from risk.

If the Monument Abyss Clan indeed has the capability to crack and initiate reverse tracking, the insects entrenched in the swamp would bear the brunt, giving it ample defense reaction time.

It actually wishes to lead the potential "trouble" directly to the player clan.

Unfortunately, over the years, it can’t even figure out where the players’ "clan land" is, making this ideal target impossible to realize.

At this moment, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit issues a spiritual command.

Instantly, an energy beam projected from the Evil Eye’s pupil connects and merges with the surging Black Tide Energy deep within the tower.

Immediately thereafter.

A dark light column enveloping countless tiny runes shoots skyward, piercing the horizon, and directly falls toward the distant Phantom Swamp region.

Upon contact with the ground, spiritual patterns independently trace, outline, and extend centered on the impact point.

Soon, a fully functional cross-space teleportation array forms on the ground.

Compared to ordinary space transmission arrays that require on-site outlining, the Evil Eye’s method of creating teleportation arrays is much more efficient.

Within the tower, utilizing Black Tide Energy, the complete teleportation array is pre-"printed" and highly compressed, forming a compressed package.

It only needs to be projected to the target location, and the compressed package can automatically unfold and anchor, forming an array instantly.

To ensure foolproof success, during construction, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit had the Evil Eye add two layers of insurance.

The source coordinate of the teleportation array will constantly shift within a small range, like a wobbling target, making it difficult for opponents to precisely lock onto the source.

With every coordinate change, the computational power needed by the Monument Abyss Clan for tracing will multiply.

Secondly, there’s a one-way cutoff mechanism.

The teleportation array is designed as a controllable one-way channel that, after troop deployment is completed, temporarily cuts off.

He can use Evil Moon as a transit to radiatively extend consciousness to any region in the Monster World; whether insects and players can return is beyond his concern.

Given his understanding of these two beast-like forces, it’s likely they care even less.

Now the construction of the teleportation array is complete, and next is the waiting for the next round of Player Corps to attack.

Soon, related news was posted on the player forum.
