Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers

WHOOSH!

The moment he made his decision, a thought crossed Shen Fei’s mind. A vine shot out, pulling him to the top of a Defense Tower. Then, WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Shen Fei’s 500 Defense Towers shot up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, growing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the 500 Defense Towers around him grew from one meter tall to tens of kilometers high.

Using the ”Enlarge and Reduce” skill, Shen Fei instantly increased the size of the Defense Towers by an incalculable magnitude. Like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, countless Defense Towers shot toward the heavens.

”Bye-bye!” Standing atop the tower, Shen Fei went straight for the kill, closing in on the giant octopus high in the sky. His position was now incredibly close to the great octopus’s massive eyes. He could even see confusion and bewilderment in its gaze.

Unfortunately for it, Shen Fei had no intention of giving the great octopus a chance for an explanation. Standing on the Defense Tower’s summit, Shen Fei watched the confusion in its huge eyes as his hand flashed, pulling an object from his inventory.

[Bisector Foil: A special rule-based item. Can convert an area no larger than 100km x 100km x 100km from three dimensions to two. Duration: 30 minutes.]

Now that he knew Naga Kapalos’s true form, understood the target, and had witnessed its unparalleled regenerative abilities, Shen Fei didn’t want to drag this out with the giant octopus any longer. With another quick thought, he decided to hit it with a dimensional-reduction strike.

An octopus has three hearts? Then how many heads does it have?

He saw that the octopus’s massive head was just under 100km in size, and he looked at the long health bar above it. As he instantly drew near, Shen Fei threw the small, thin sheet in his hand directly at the octopus’s head.

He had obtained this item, the [Bisector Foil], in the 16th Ring of the Soul Fighter Game World. Now, he was putting it to use.

WHOOSH!

As the Bisector Foil flew through the air, Naga Kapalos saw the object Shen Fei had personally delivered and its body shifted, about to dodge. But alas, how could one possibly dodge a dimensional-reduction strike? In an instant, the tiny sheet stuck to its massive head.

Then, as if it were being squeezed between two panes of glass, the enormous, egg-shaped head was instantly crushed flat.

TZZZZT! TZZZZT! TZZZZT!

A two-dimensional head, of course, could not command three-dimensional tentacles. The moment its head was turned two-dimensional, Naga Kapalos’s tentacles—which had Sealed the sky for hundreds of kilometers around the island—instantly lost their power and went limp. In that instant, all the green vanished from the world.

The blue sky reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

”You... you... you...!” The two-dimensional Naga Kapalos could no longer see Shen Fei and the others, who existed in three dimensions. Now a two-dimensional being, it cried out in a hint of terror.

But it was no use. Crying out accomplished nothing. Knowing that the [Bisector Foil] had a time limit, Shen Fei quickly adjusted the targeting of his Defense Towers. He aimed their immeasurable attacks directly into the sky, at the great octopus’s head, which could now only move on a flat plane.

A two-dimensional creature has no way of dealing with an attack coming from the third dimension. Soon, under the relentless assault of Shen Fei’s Defense Towers, in less than three minutes, the mighty Deity, Naga Kapalos, kicked the bucket!

Afterward, Shen Fei saw a line of text appear on its still-two-dimensional head—[9/10].

”Ah!”

”Ah!”

”Ah!”

The mysterious Life Series Deity had been defeated, and Miss Misfortune Sarah and the others, who had been unconscious, all awoke. Seeing the mountaintop that had been sheared off, the Barbie Temple that had vanished without a trace, and the great chasm at their feet that led straight down into the earth—so deep they couldn’t see the bottom, but from which they could hear the gurgling of water—Miss Misfortune Sarah, along with her crew, all cried out in excitement.

WHOOSH!

Before Miss Misfortune’s shouts had even faded, she suddenly froze, dumbfounded, as if an invisible hand were choking her.

”The Soul-Devouring Night!!”

”Why is the Soul-Devouring Night happening during the day?!”

”The timing is wrong!!”

”What is going on?!”

”Why?!!”

Sarah was terrified as she saw a black fog rapidly surging toward them from the distant coast. Piraeus was a great place for the most part, but the one bad thing about it was the Soul-Devouring Night. The Undead Island to its southeast, the Shadow Island, would unleash a Soul-Devouring Tide once a year. When Piraeus was enveloped by the Soul-Devouring Black Tide, the slightest carelessness could result in the souls of its people being swept away.

In the past, Piraeus was able to withstand the Soul-Devouring Night largely thanks to the Sea Beast Sacrifice, Olori, who used the power of Nashen to drive away the spirits of the dead.

Miss Misfortune couldn’t understand. The Barbie Temple had just vanished, and now the Soul-Devouring Black Tide was here. This timing is all wrong! Didn’t the Soul-Devouring Night just end not long ago? Moreover, with the Barbie Temple and Olori both gone, how are we supposed to fend off this Soul-Devouring Black Tide?!

”Pain! So much pain!”

”The Authority of Life that bound the Shadow Island has finally dissipated!!!”

”The world will finally grovel at the feet of shadow!”

”World, accept the same pain that I have endured!!”

Within the churning black fog, heart-wrenching cries echoed out. Visible to the naked eye, countless figures holding long spears, some even riding skeletal horses, emerged from the black fog, their malevolent gazes fixed upon everything on the island.

”Boss! We have to retreat!!”

”Something’s not right!!”

Beside Miss Misfortune, one of her pirate underlings who had just woken up shouted frantically at the sight. Without the Barbie Temple, without the Sea Beast Sacrifice, Olori...
