Monster Paradise

The 4v3 situation had now turned into a 5v2 situation.

What made Nyarlathotep and Yogg feel even more despair was that, apart from the first gigantic tree, which had behaved normally since the beginning, the remaining four trees were all different.

The tree’s battle rhythm was no longer the only issue.

The second tree’s branches attacked extremely quickly.

Its attack speed had almost reached the limits at which Nyarlathotep and Yogg’s physical bodies could react.

The third tree was even tougher. The aura of its branches could be concealed, which allowed it to avoid the probing of the two Outer Gods’ Divine Telekinesis.

This was the tree that had gotten to Shub just now.

The fourth tree’s branches would split when broken, shooting out two to ten branch splinters randomly.

The random manner in which the branches split made it difficult for them to guard against.

The fifth tree that Shub had turned into was pretty tough too.

The branches that were broken would instantly grow into big trees that were slightly smaller than the original tree.

Although their abilities were nothing compared to the five gigantic trees, these smaller trees had mastered over ten quadrillion chaotic cosmoses.

Fortunately, those newly-grown trees would only hinder them slightly.

Their defensive and regeneration abilities were not as insane as the gigantic trees.

With Nyarlathotep and Yogg’s abilities, they could destroy them.

Not only that, they would not be assimilated and kicked out of the game even if they were touched by those smaller trees.

Nyarlathotep only came to that conclusion after experiencing it himself.

Though the threat they posed was small, their branches were identical to the branches of the gigantic trees.

The two of them could only determine the owner of the branches based on the strength of their aura when the branches got closer.

Nevertheless, they did not dare to be hit by the branches from the smaller trees easily.

The reason being was that, as soon as the branches got to them, even if they were delayed a slight moment, it might result in them being touched by the gigantic trees’ branches.

The third round of attack almost completely exhausted Nyarlathotep and Yogg.

The two of them had been running around clumsily for the entire day.

Yogg’s situation was better, as running was his expertise.

However, it was tough for Nyarlathotep.

The countless branches from the five gigantic trees and the hundreds of smaller trees seemed like an endless web that covered the sky.

He was experiencing countless life or death situations every minute and every second.

He even endured the attacks of the smaller trees in order to avoid being touched by the branches of the gigantic trees.

Fortunately, this round had finally ended.

The two of them finally experienced a brief moment of respite after seeing the five gigantic trees recalling their branches, and the smaller trees disappearing.

However, their relief did not last very long, as the pressure would only continue to mount with each subsequent round.

This was only the third round. The fourth and fifth round would only get tougher.

‘Will I be able to last until the tenth round?’ Nyarlathotep was doubtful of his chances.

He looked at Yogg. The latter did not look relaxed at all.

Nobody knew what Yogg was thinking about. He was in a deep state of contemplation to the point that he did not even notice Nyarlathotep’s gaze.

As the machine-like voice said “One, two, three, statue!” again, the five gigantic trees began to split at the same time.

This included the gigantic tree that Shub had transformed into; it was splitting as well.

Nyarlathotep looked even more terrible when he saw this.

Grimace’s voice could be heard at this very moment.

“I forgot to tell you guys. If one of you ends up being transformed into a statue, that person will be like the other statues in each round, splitting and participating in the hunt of the remaining players.”

Ten gigantic trees had completed the splitting process by the time Grimace was done speaking.

The fourth round of battle had officially begun!

Sensing the invisible threat that was coming from beside him, Nyarlathotep dodged without hesitation.

As usual, Yogg was faster than he was.

The five new gigantic trees had completely different abilities compared to the five trees from before.

One could perform space flickering and was no less powerful than Yogg.

Another could slow time, causing all movements within a certain range of its branches to slow to a crawl.

Yet another could accelerate attack speed. It could adjust the attack speed of its branches, ranging from onefold to tenfold, as it wished, which constantly changed the rhythm of the battle.

One could target their auras, which made all of Yogg and Nyarlathotep’s concealment techniques invalid.

The final new gigantic tree’s branches would shoot out countless leaves as soon as it was attacked.

The fourth round was undoubtedly many times more difficult than the last round.

Nyarlathotep was almost touched a couple of times, but Yogg came to his rescue.

Nyarlathotep was almost completely exhausted by the end of the round.

He had used up all of his techniques in this round.

If Yogg had not rescued him, he would have been turned into a gigantic tree.

The two of them finally got a chance to breathe when the ten gigantic trees halted their attacks.

However, Nyarlathotep knew that it was impossible for him to last until the tenth round.

As he watched the ten gigantic trees begin to split again, Nyarlathotep said to Yogg through voice transmission, “I’ve become a burden now, so just ignore me. Save your Dominator Power and try your best to last until the tenth round.”

Seeing that Yogg was staring at him without saying a word, Nyarlathotep continued, “Master Aza needs you.”

A sparkle flashed through Yogg’s eyes when those words were said. He nodded. “Got it.”

“One, two, three, statue!”

The machine-like voice soon echoed across the sky.

The fifth round had begun!

Nyarlathotep moved to dodge in a flash without hesitation. However, a green vine quickly crept up behind him the next second, strangling him.

His body was assimilated and transformed instantly…

20v2 had become 21v1.

There was no change in the expression on Yogg’s face as he watched Nyarlathotep transform into a gigantic tree. His eyes only dimmed momentarily.

He kept dodging as he faced off against the 21 gigantic trees pursuing him.

His body left countless afterimages in the air. His body did not stop moving for one second.

Although the branches of the 21 gigantic trees almost covered the entire sky, they did not manage to even touch the corner of his clothes and, just like that, the fifth round of the game came to an end.

Subsequently, the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds commenced…

The number of gigantic trees multiplied over and over again.

Twenty-one trees!

Forty-two trees!

Eighty-four trees!

A hundred and sixty-eight trees!

Each and every one of them had different special abilities.

However, they could not do anything to Yogg, who was like an illusory specter.

His comprehension of Dimensional Dao was terrifying.

Not only could he teleport instantly, but the Time Dao he had mastered could even influence the movements of the branches of the gigantic trees around him.

This was why he seemed like a specter, wandering in and out of the material plane throughout those few days. He could not be touched at all.

Nevertheless, the consecutive days of intense dodging drained his Dominator Power significantly.

He finally released a long sigh of relief when the eighth round ended.

Grimace’s teasing voice could be heard whispering softly again while the gigantic trees were splitting.

“There are two more rounds. All the best.”
