Chapter 679: High-level wars are fought with information gaps
The reason why Nezha charges ahead in every battle and serves as the vanguard of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals is because of the super self-healing ability given to him by his lotus body.
Compared with other heavenly generals, his cost of trial and error is extremely low. Even if he is broken into pieces and beaten into lotus root powder, he can collect some residues and soak them in water. In a few days, he can grow back into a complete vegetable.
Huang Tianhua sent him to fight out of this consideration. After all, the ability of the Moth Witch who suddenly appeared was unknown. If other gods went, they would have no chance of survival if they failed.
In the Battle of the Gods, there were many cases where people died tragically because they attacked rashly without knowing their opponent's strength. Huang Tianhua himself died in this way at the hands of Gao Jineng.
Nezha, a master at courting death, relied on the sacred lotus body refined for him by Taiyi Zhenren, and fought the entire game and survived to the end.
On this timeline, the only time his life was in danger was when he was almost killed by Wen Rui's plant virus.
But no matter how strong the regeneration ability is, there must be a little bit of tissue cells left. Under the dark magic light emitted by the Moth Witch, Nezha's flesh and blood turned into ashes. Once the speed of destruction exceeds the speed of regeneration, all material existence will be wiped out, and Nezha will not survive.
The blue light became increasingly dazzling, and Nezha's regenerative ability gradually failed. His limbs quickly decayed and turned to ashes, and most of his torso was burned, leaving only half of his spine and a head that had turned into a skull. He was about to disappear completely.
A silver meteor shot out from the coalition army's formation and hit the Moth Girl right between her eyebrows. The force of the blow was so strong that her head tilted back suddenly.
A black shadow rushed up like lightning, grabbed Nezha's skull in one bite, and rescued him at the critical moment.
The people who took action were Yang Jian and his dog. The man and the dog cooperated well. Yang Jian shot out his slingshot to disturb the enemy, and Xiaotian Dog took the opportunity to rescue people. The rescue operation was completed in a flash.
Yang Jian's slingshot is also famous. It is a high-level immortal weapon called golden bow and silver bullet. The silver bullets fired have a special restraining effect on demons and monsters, and ordinary ghosts and gods will be destroyed immediately.
However, the Moth Witch was shot on the forehead, but only a shallow mark was left. The severe blow to the top of her head only dazed her for a moment without causing any brain damage. She was slightly dizzy for a moment, but soon regained consciousness.
Even the monkey with iron skin and bones would have a big bump on his head after being hit by the silver bullet. However, the Moth Witch's body was much stronger and she was almost unscathed.
The silver bullet's devil-breaking property also had no effect at all. This trained body of the Beast God was worthy of the word "God". It was transcended from the mortal world, neither a demon nor a monster. It was a genuine supreme divine body, and its grade was probably several levels higher than Wen Rui's divine body.
Taoist Mosquito took great pains to achieve this effect.
Although Western religions preach the salvation of all living beings, the bloodline differences between them are as huge as a chasm. Those who are "born from eggs, covered with fur and horns" have natural defects and are strictly controlled by the gods.
This is especially true for the demons and monsters. No matter how high their cultivation level is, they will be suppressed by the divine power and will never have a chance to turn things around.
Taoist Mosquito formulated biochemical weapons based on the demons in the earth realm. No matter how many times it evolved, he could not evolve into a beast general. All he got were just more advanced beast soldiers.
Even the most advanced beast soldiers, if hit by an attack like Yang Jian's magic-breaking silver bullet, would still be killed by a headshot, even if their bodies were as strong as diamond. This magic-breaking attack did not hurt the beast god general, who was trained by the fairy's flawless body, at all, but instead angered her. Her beautiful and charming face was angry and ferocious, and she opened her mouth and roared towards the coalition forces.
Without opening her mouth, the Moth Witch looks like an ethereal elf. But once she opens her mouth, or to be more precise, her mouthparts, her demonic nature is revealed.
The mouth was like that of a lamprey, with densely packed spiral fangs and a cluster of more than a dozen thorny tongues in the mouth.
The whistling sound she made was like the chirping of a cicada. It was not loud, but the frequency of the vibrato was extremely high. Even though they were far away, the heavenly soldiers and generals were all disturbed by the piercing whistling sound that sounded like the scraping of metal.
Having lost Nezha as her target, the Moth Witch's attention shifted to the coalition forces that were firing slingshots at her. She flapped her three pairs of wings fiercely and turned into a stream of blue light and swooped down towards her.
Without even the commander giving orders, the soldiers' revolving arrows were fired almost simultaneously, with dense rain of arrows concentrated at one point, pouring towards the approaching witch.
Facing the rain of arrows, the moth did not dodge or evade. Before the golden arrows got close to it, they dissipated into light dust under the illumination of the blue light.
Approaching the coalition army formation, the Moth Girl aimed her hands at the dense crowd. Two blue beams of light shot out from her palms, sweeping back and forth on the ground. Wherever they passed was like being chopped by a huge machete. The body parts of the soldiers that touched the blue light disappeared instantly, and the cuts were as smooth as a mirror. The blood took half a second to splash out.
When the Western monks saw their friendly forces being attacked, they quickly formed seals and chanted the Acalanatha mantra, holding up a golden bell shield to try to block the blue light. However, the blue light was invisible and intangible, and it passed through unhindered. It did not touch the golden bell shadow, but it cut the monk hiding inside the golden bell into two pieces.
With just one round of beams of light, the coalition forces suffered more casualties than those from several days of fierce fighting. The blue light was like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, and wherever it passed, it killed gods and beheaded Buddhas, leaving the whole place in a mess.
All the gods and generals of the coalition army were shocked when they saw this scene. Even Yang Jian, who shot the silver bullets with the golden bow, was stunned. No one knew the power of the silver bullets better than him. His silver bullets were blocked by the opponent's body, while the opponent's offensive was unstoppable. How could they fight this battle?
Wen Rui, who was far away in the information center, was typing codes on the keyboard until his hands were almost smoking. He was using the computing power called upon by Jarvis to analyze the blue light emitted by the Moth Witch, trying to figure out the secret of this magical power, so as to immediately invent a nanostructure for defense.
All the demon alliance cities in the mortal world simultaneously experienced the first major power outage in history. The nano units in stock were continuously combined into new computer chips to maximize Jarvis's computing speed.
Intelligence is vital to warfare at any level.
The reason why advanced cosmic civilizations formed the Dark Forest system and tried their best to destroy each other once they discovered the other party is because the information between them is not transparent, and a certain technology mastered by the other party has the same destructive power to themselves.
In wars between immortal civilizations such as the Battle of the Gods, intelligence is equally important. There are countless cases where newcomers appear with unknown abilities, and veterans show off and end up dead.
Killings at first sight are everywhere.
Now that someone is dying to make mistakes for Wen Rui, he must not waste the sacrifices of the heavenly soldiers and generals in vain. He must hurry to analyze the enemy situation so that when he encounters the moth girl, he will have the strength to fight back.
