"Your meaning is, that thing can generate energy infinitely?" Ziyue opened her eyes wide and said to Chen Qing, "Why didn’t you mention this earlier?"

The gap between top experts and troops is the oppressive force of military formations; a formation can gather everyone’s vigor to form a dreadful pressure.

If you don’t have a troop of your own to counter such a formidable vigor formation, it’s fundamentally unmanageable.

Either you will be crushed outright, or even if you manage to hold on, it will be at great exhaustion!

Even at King Level, facing the army of the Four Holy Army’s caliber, one cannot confront it directly, because that monster has one major flaw: it has no background, no troops.

But if it’s like what Chen Qing said, able to draw infinite energy from the Paint World, then...

Ziyue gasped, theoretically, couldn’t it slaughter an entire army?

"It’s not infinite, but it’s probably close enough..."

Chen Qing, looking at the monster in the military formation that seemed never to tire, said softly: "Its Paint World comes from imitations of the real world, capable of depicting high-level Spirit Lands into its own world, then through connection, continuously restoring its own physical strength."

Ziyue frowned, this ability sounds similar to space fragments, but space fragments would struggle to preserve if the spiritual energy density is too high.

To maintain King Level Spiritual Energy, it must be from the Spirit Land, and it requires no small space. With Jiangnan’s current space techniques, it may still be impossible even with ten more years of development.

Besides, the consumption in combat is not just Spiritual Energy, but also vigor.

Curiously looking at Chen Qing, who hadn’t even spoken yet, she understood what she wanted to ask, revealing a wry smile: "This creature’s body is different from ordinary demons. It and the Paint World are unified; the ink of the Paint World is its blood, so..."

"So..." Ziyue swallowed and said, "The Spiritual Power of the Paint World, drawn by its ink, is its vigor?"

"Something like that..." Chen Qing covered his face.

"You’re freaking kidding..."

It reminded her of when she worked in a studio, and at that time, she felt Pu YunChuan, that fat jerk, was the most difficult designer to accommodate, his bizarre ideas completely illogical; no wonder he was constantly cursed by various players.

She didn’t understand, was designing such things meant to disgust others?

Not to mention the bizarre ability mentioned earlier, with the precedent of the fox, she was somewhat immune to such bizarre abilities. But now with another bizarre ability, and such shameless combat power, you must be crazy to design such a creature.

"Is this thing even reasonable?"

Ziyue managed to suppress her fury.

"It’s somewhat reasonable, just with a bit high difficulty."

Chen Qing, with his head down, was regretting his original design for the first time. What did the old saying go? Setting a house on fire without burning ones’ feet.

He never thought the day would come when he would be afflicted by the worldly karma from once troubling the players.

"So, esteemed chief designer, how do we win against this creature?" Ziyue said, holding back her anger with her remaining sense of reason.

"This... just by us..." Chen Qing dodged her gaze; it took him a while to reply, "It’s unbeatable."

"What did you say?"

Ziyue’s gaze dangerously fixated on Chen Qing.

Unbeatable...

From anyone else, such a statement might not be entirely true, but coming from Chen Qing, it surely was.

Faced with her fearful gaze, Chen Qing was at a loss for words, merely staring back helplessly as he explained.

"It has a very strong foundation, as you have seen, it can eliminate Tian Heng in a single move; the strongest Priests here along with their assistants can’t even subdue it. As time goes on, the only ones that will be consumed to death are you."

"Also, in at most a quarter of an hour, it will break through the seal, and the army will have even less of an effect on it."

Ziyue: "....."

She had guessed this situation as well; once it breaks through King Level and continues with endless Spiritual Energy, who here could possibly be its opponent?

But what she wanted to know was whether Chen Qing had a plan since he created this creature; it must have some sort of fallback, right?

"Really not a single chance left?"

"There is a slight one....."

"Oh?"

She knew it; this guy wouldn’t be without any plans; after all, his catchphrase is not to create a creature without any weaknesses.

"As strong as its endurance may be, as long as someone can defeat it quickly, its ability becomes meaningless."

"Are you sure?" Ziyue rolled her eyes.

She thought he had a good idea, but it turned out to be this nonsense, if it could be solved quickly, would they still be here discussing it?

"I... ahem, don’t."

"Then why the hell are you even saying it?" Ziyue felt her temper, despite years of conditioning, was on the verge of breaking.

"I can’t, but someone can!"

"You mean?" Ziyue was startled. The fundamental capabilities of the other side were clear; who would dare claim they can defeat it in a short time?

Perhaps call the Guard Commander and Kagura?

They’d rather hope for the Four Holy Army and the Imperial Army to be destroyed here...

Wait a second... The Imperial Army...

"Are you saying?"

"Why do you think it first targeted the Siao Family member?"

"But..."

Ziyue frowned. With all the King Levels currently present, speaking of explosive power, it would have to be that member of the Siao Family. His power is so domineering that even Kagura dares not directly confront him.

But if that member of the Siao Family could handle it, why was he captured at the start?

When the Siao member was captured, that guy had no help; it was a tough, direct capture. The Emperor...has already lost once!

"That was just now!" Chen Qing spoke softly, "He captured the Emperor relying on his own capabilities, but now, he cannot use his own capabilities!"

"Oh?" Ziyue’s eyes brightened.

"That limitless Spiritual Power ability, it requires liquefying the Paint World. As soon as this process starts, his former abilities temporarily cannot be used."

"This way..."

Ziyue pondered for a moment; it was somewhat plausible. Otherwise, if the other party could continuously accumulate energy while using such bizarre abilities, it would be too exaggerated.

But still...

There was still a problem, as the Emperor seemed to still be detained.

"Liquefaction is hard to control; the world detaining the Emperor would naturally be affected as well. As long as he can react, there’s a chance for him to escape!"

Ziyue smirked, so it completely depends on others?

Can he react in time?

After all, that guy is different from them; he lacks intelligence.

Can he... seize this opportunity?

"I don’t know..." Chen Qing shook his head. "And it must be within a quarter of an hour, the Siao member has already broken one seal and won’t likely return to King Level anytime soon. If he doesn’t make it within fifteen minutes, then we, indeed, no longer stand a chance!"
