Chapter 779 What is a Strategic Victory?
Chapter 779 What is a Strategic Victory?
In this triangular confrontation game, Wen Rui had the upper hand because of his flexible moral bottom line.
Neither the Centipede Witch nor the Great Powerful Bodhisattva can have sex with the other without any reservations. Even if they extend an olive branch, the other party will not believe it.
Wen Rui is different. His reputation is both good and bad. Although he has great merits, he never gets involved in other people's affairs. He gives people the impression that he is jumping back and forth between good and evil.
Although Wen Rui said that he wanted to join forces with the Centipede Witch to deal with Mahakala, he did not put it into action. It was obvious that he wanted the Centipede Witch to attack first to show his sincerity.
The centipede witch thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Emperor Wen, please give an order first. Ask your men not to destroy the food of our tribe, and leave some for us to use."
Although the combat power of this beast god general's modulated body is high, his realm is only equivalent to the peak of True Immortal. His mental strength and perception are far inferior to those of the Great Powerful Bodhisattva. He has not yet realized that the soldiers of the Demon Alliance are not killing but are providing a disguised protection.
"It's not too late for you to take action first."
Wen Rui was unmoved. He controlled the virtual image and sneered, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I can wait as long as I want. But you can't wait. You only have two choices now. Fight with the Great Power Bodhisattva, or try to break through my blockade and attack my subordinates."
The witch was caught in a dilemma, but she had no choice. Wen Rui could at least have his say, and the Great Powerful Bodhisattva and she could not coexist in good and evil, and he simply disdained to have a head-on communication with a demon like her.
Moreover, she was certain that if she came into a fight with Wen Rui, Mahakala Bodhisattva would certainly launch a sneak attack from behind. These seemingly righteous gods and Buddhas would never talk about chivalry when dealing with demons.
Mahakala Bodhisattva also had the same concerns. At this critical moment, he would not care about how powerful Wen Rui's background and master were. If he attacked Wen Rui, it would only give Mowen an advantage.
If the Centipede Witch could get away, she would immediately rush over to drive away the Demon Alliance warriors and command the Demon Mosquitoes to speed up the pace of plundering the believers.
Doing so is undoubtedly a disguised form of creating karma, harming one's own believers and causing them to endure torture worse than death for a long time without any reason.
This is many times more evil than killing them, and completely goes against the teachings of Western religions.
Western teachings do not necessarily require living people to be saved. Sending sinners with karmic debts back to the cycle of reincarnation early so that they can be reborn as clean human beings in the next life is also a form of salvation.
Therefore, this salvation plan was designed to save as many human beings in Xiniu Hezhou as possible. Although it cannot give them a stable life in this life, it can promise them a next life without falling into the evil path.
Although Wen Rui's practice of keeping these believers alive disrupted the Western religion's plan for salvation, it cannot be said to be against Western religious teachings. From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, his merits would not be deducted. In fact, if he could really restore these dehydrated bodies in the future, he would even be bestowed with immeasurable merits for saving many lives.
From the very beginning of the triangular game, Wen Rui was already invincible, and he would win even if the stalemate continued. The Centipede Witch and the Great Power Bodhisattva quickly sorted out the logic of the game. Without saying much, both sides found each other again and fought again.
To defeat the enemy without fighting, this is the highest realm of the art of war. Wen Rui's Dharma image folded his arms proudly and watched the show happily.
If a real fight breaks out, his knockoff version of the Heavenly and Earthly Law is actually just an embroidered pillow, and it will probably be torn into pieces in just a few moves. The only advantage is that it is easy to repair, as long as it continues to replenish the fairy-level nano units, it can be continuously reorganized after collapse. As a result, there is no need to take action now, just stand up to show your presence and make a few provocations, and you will achieve a strategic victory. If the time is delayed long enough, when all the Western believers gathered here are dehydrated, it will be a complete victory.
The giant centipede climbed up and entangled the Vajra King's image again. The weapons held by the Vajra King's thirty-six arms kept hitting the centipede's hard shell, but the centipede's self-healing speed was amazing. The hideous wounds caused by the Buddhist magic weapons were healed in the blink of an eye.
Instead, the blood plasma spurted out from the torn wound and stained the Dharma image of the Mingwang, like strong acid corrosion, turning the divine body emitting golden light into a dark color. The protective qi also dissipated, and the golden flesh and blood of the body melted like snow.
However, the power of vows accumulated by the Bodhisattva over countless years was as vast as the ocean, and the parts of his body that had been corroded and melted also began to glow with golden light again within a short period of time.
The power of extreme yang and the power of extreme yin cancel each other out. Both sides are power-type blood bull warriors, and for a while neither can do anything to the other.
The three parties' strongest combat forces restrained each other, while the swarm of demon mosquitoes, Western religious believers and the demon alliance soldiers became the key to the outcome of the battle.
The group of demon mosquitoes should have been the strongest side, but the formation of the Western religion prevented their huge number from deploying, and the number of demon mosquitoes that rushed into the Vajra formation was always limited.
The believers of the Western religion had the geographical advantage and were able to hold out for a long time under the protection of the magic circle, fighting until all of them died in battle and were saved. However, their defensive rhythm was disrupted by the sneak attack from the demon alliance soldiers from underground, and the entire defense line collapsed directly.
The soldiers of the Demon Alliance were the biggest winners. They carried out the established tactics without any hindrance and fired dehydration beams at the Western believers who had lost their resistance.
More and more Western believers disappeared in large numbers, and the ground was covered with a layer of tattered clothes. Hundreds of thousands of people were soon reduced to only tens of thousands. Wen Rui felt that the time was almost right, so he used quantum communication to issue a retreat order to all combat personnel.
The demon alliance soldier wearing Iron Man armor immediately controlled the armor to deform and transform into ground mode. His arms were constructed with nano units into a single-soldier shield machine, which dug downwards on the spot and drilled into the ground without looking back.
The Ultron robot army responsible for the cover had no intention of going back. These robot warriors did not care about sacrifice or not, and they focused on covering the retreat of the Demon Alliance soldiers. For this, they were not afraid of facing the Demon Mosquitoes from behind and being ambushed and damaged.
Wen Rui's virtual Dharma image stands on the surface, but this giant Dharma image robot is controlled by remote control, and its main body is actually still hidden in a huge soldier cave underground.
The retreating soldiers of the Demon Alliance returned to the soldier cave along the same route, lined up in an orderly manner and entered the portable secret realm portal on Wen Rui's chest, and withdrew directly to the secret base on Jinao Island.
When the last soldier of the Demon Alliance walked into the portal, it announced that the operation to disrupt the Western religion's salvation plan had come to a perfect end.
The devil mosquito's goal of plundering blood slaves failed, and the Western religion's plan to redeem the believers who sacrificed themselves to protect the religion also failed. After being dehydrated, the Western believers entered a Schrödinger's state of life and death, neither alive nor dead.
When they are alive, they will be treated as food for insects. When they die, they will be liberated by Western religions. It is just right, neither born nor dead.
The evil mosquitoes that coveted their bodies and the Western religions that coveted their souls all worked hard but got nothing.
