Chapter 1916: One, Two, Three, Statue
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
As soon as the machine-like female voice rang out, Grimace, who had transformed into a gigantic tree, stretched out hundreds of millions of his branches, which charged toward the three Outer Gods like a net.
The Outer Gods dodged immediately, but the branches pursued them, making it difficult for them to shake the attack off.
The three of them moved as fast as they could, dodging frantically along the way.
Very soon, the branches from the gigantic tree had almost spread across the entire space.
The Outer Gods soon realized that the space in which they could maneuver had rapidly shrunk.
They shifted their strategy instantly and began to fight back, clearing out the branches that were coming at them.
However, the tree that Grimace had transformed into was not to be underestimated either. His recovery ability was rather terrifying.
All of the branches seemed to regenerate quickly the moment they were chopped off.
Although that was the case, the brief period of respite after chopping off the branches greatly relieved the pressure on the three.
The first round of attack lasted for a whole day before it finally stopped.
The Outer Gods could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Throughout that day, the three of them had, several times, actually tried to take the initiative to attack Grimace.
However, he had pretty stunning defensive ability after being transformed into a gigantic tree. They only managed to chop off the branches after using almost all of their might, so one could imagine how helpless they were against Grimace’s extremely thick trunk.
Among the three of them, even Yogg, who possessed the most powerful attack ability, only left a scratch that was less than ten centimeters deep on the tree trunk.
Meanwhile, Nyarlathotep and Shub’s attacks only left scratches that were less than five centimeters deep.
The tree that Grimace had transformed into had a trunk that measured thousands of meters in diameter.
Even if he did not obstruct them with the branches and allowed them to attack him, it would take tens of thousands of their attacks to break the tree.
Not to mention that, apart from the branches, the trunk also had powerful regeneration abilities.
He used less than 0.01 seconds to restore the scratch that Yogg had left behind.
After trying several times, the three of them belatedly realized why Grimace said fearlessly, “If you guys have the ability, you can try to kill me. This is another way to win this game.”
The reason being was that they would never be able to win in this way.
After confirming this fact, they could only try to clear the game normally by holding on for ten rounds!
Fortunately, although they were a little clumsy in the beginning during the first round, they very soon adapted to Grimace’s attack patterns.
If the level of difficulty remained the same, they would be able to hold on for ten rounds.
Just as they were thinking that, Grimace’s voice suddenly rang out.
“The first round can be considered a warm-up. I wanted you guys to become familiar with the rules of the game. After all, it’s boring to have the game end so soon.”
The three of them felt their hearts sink when they heard that.
Clearly, the game would only become more difficult from now on!
As soon as Grimace was done speaking, the machine-like female voice suddenly rang out again.
“One, two, three, statue!”
The second round of the game had officially begun!
The gigantic tree Grimace had transformed into suddenly shook as soon as the machine-like voice faded.
It only took a moment when the tree split into two at speed that was visible to the naked eye.
The three of them raised their brows when they saw that.
As expected, the difficulty level had increased in the second round!
The very next second after the tree had completed the split, the branches of the two gigantic trees seemed to come alive like snakes.
“So fast!”
Shock flashed in Nyarlathotep’s eyes. He was stunned to discover that not only had the number of branches been doubled in this round, but even their attack speed had been increased almost tenfold.
They had spent a day adapting to the rhythm of the battle, and now it had changed completely!
“Be careful, only one tree’s attack speed has increased!”
This had caused the three of them to fall into a dangerous state again. It was even more dangerous than when the first round had begun.
Yogg quickly told the other two the result of his observation through voice transmission.
However, things did not look much better for them.
In reality, they could handle the two trees easier if both possessed the same attack speed.
The reason being was that, if the trees’ attack speed was consistent, there would only be one battle rhythm to adapt to, which would make it easier for them to adapt.
However, the two trees’ attack had two different attack speeds now. This meant that they would have to adapt to two different battle rhythms.
Not only that, as there were too many branches, they could not tell which tree the branches were from. They could only adjust themselves according to the attack they faced at that moment.
It would mean that they had to adjust their speed continuously in order to respond to two different battle rhythms.
Things would be even more difficult this way!
The two battle rhythms were torturous to them.
However, after half a day, they finally adapted to the battle rhythms and successfullysurvived the second day, feeling a little exhausted.
Grimace finally stopped his attack, after which the three of them felt significantly relieved.
However, they soon felt uneasy.
The reason being was that they could foresee that the third round of attack would be even more difficult.
Once the machine-likevoice said “one, two, three, statue!” again, the gigantic trees that Grimace had transformed into split themselves again.
The two trees split at the same time. It only took a moment for them to split into four different trees.
The three Outer Gods looked even more terrible when they saw the scene unfold before them.
“I must admit that you sort of inspired this game.”
Grimace’s faces appeared on the four gigantic trees at the same time. All four faces looked at Shub. There was obvious mockery in his tone.
The Outer Gods said nothing. From his words, and the scene unfolding in front of them right now, they had already guessed the direction the game would take over the next few rounds.
There were four trees in this round. There would be eight trees in the next round, and then 16 in the next…
Grimace’s game setting was clearly inspired by the ootheca’s breeding rule from before.
The three Outer Gods’ hearts sank.
They were already exhausted from having to deal with two trees.
As the number of the trees multiplied, the difficulty level would continue to increase.
What the three of them were the most afraid of was that all the trees’ attack speeds would be different.
They had taken half a day to adapt to the two trees.
The more trees there were, the longer they would need to adapt.
Once they failed to adapt, their battle rhythm would be thrown into total chaos.
At that point, leaving being touched by the branches aside, they might even be crushed into mush by the countless branches.
They became nervous as they looked at the four trees in front of them.
It had merely taken a moment for those trees to be split and formed.
The next second, an intense sense of crisis arose from behind them.
Without hesitation, Nyarlathotep moved away in a flash.
Yogg was even faster than him, and disappeared directly.
However, Shub was a little too late…
A dark green branch quietly tangled itself around her ankle.
Her body began to assimilate with that branch at speed that was visible to the naked eye. Her body transformed quickly, as tree bark and branches sprung from her body continuously…
Within a second, she had turned into a gigantic tree completely!
The fifth tree started besieging the remaining two Outer Gods immediately!
