This was somewhat good news, and Helles felt pretty good about it.
If they attacked together, Helles knew very well that his struggle would only last for a few dozen rounds.
In a one-on-one fight, he was somewhat confident that even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't die too quickly.
As for stalling for time, he had no problem with that at all.
“I didn’t expect the power of that Shuten-dōji to be so astonishing. This is troublesome.”
“We originally wanted to interfere with their plans and seize their pursuit of benefits for ourselves.”
“But now it seems that both the Dōji and the Serpent are so strong that we have to unite.”
Representatives of various forces were observing this battle, and they all frowned.
The power and foundation of the World Serpent were somewhat beyond imagination.
They thought they only needed to deal with one Shuten-dōji, but now it was directly multiplied by two, with an additional Yamata no Orochi.
Not to mention that there were other hidden masters within the World Serpent, making their combat power even more astonishing.
“This battle, I’m afraid that expert from the Holy Temple won’t last long.”
“Strange, why did Shuten-dōji have to show all of his strength?”
“He could have completely hidden a portion and then revealed this trump card in a moment of crisis.”
Most of the experts from various forces lurking within the Paradise World were intelligent people.
After all, their main task was to gather information, and this job tested their minds and intelligence.
“It can be seen that he is a bit too reckless, thinking that he has everything under control and has no worries.”
“It seems that the goal pursued by the World Serpent this time is very large, and we have a chance to make a big profit.”
But the intelligence level of these people was still a bit lacking.
They only thought of related interests, but did not think of deeper things.
Jiang Wang was rushing to the battlefield, and on the way, he brought up this matter again.
“Shuten-dōji is acting so ostentatiously, he must have some plans.”
“I relied on ‘Showing Holiness in Public’ to find fault with members of the World Serpent organization everywhere before.”
“Now everyone knows that the World Serpent has a grand goal, and this goal is very profitable.”
Jiang Wang said, as he began to analyze.
“In this situation, he exposed all his strength. However, he had been hiding it very well before.”
“The sudden exposure can be explained as him having no worries and no longer caring about enemies.”
“But it can also be understood as him going with the flow, diverting everyone’s attention.”
Jiang Wang said, narrowing his eyes.
This was not a good thing, and there was likely a risk.
It was like a magic trick. Why could magicians succeed every time? The reason was not complicated.
It was because the audience's attention was deliberately guided.
“Making a big move is actually to cover up a small move.”
“Shuten-dōji is not a fool, and he is well-informed enough.”
“I’m afraid he already knows about the Bat King’s death, and he must have fine-tuned his tactics and plans.”
Jiang Wang was very sure of this.
At this moment, Shuten-dōji directly made a big move, diverting everyone's attention.
If nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected would definitely happen.
Everyone was paying attention to that “Dōji”, but the other members of the World Serpent were still continuing their actions.
When Jiang Wang arrived at the battlefield, the situation presented was the worst possible.
The Dōji and the Serpent were being besieged by a group of people, and Helles' crisis had been resolved.
“It seems that these people couldn’t hold back and took the initiative to attack that guy.”
Unexpectedly, driven by interests, the various forces would be so united.
They had gathered into a team in such a short period of time and launched a fierce attack without saying a word.
“But this has fallen into the opponent’s trap.”
Jiang Wang said, shaking his head and sighing.
Shuten-dōji, with his own strength, held back most of the people in the Paradise World.
A melee had broken out just like that.
“Pay attention to the movements of other World Serpent members. Alas, it’s useless to say this.”
“I can probably guess what their next plan is.”
“Isn’t it just to block off the scene and completely cut off external personnel from entering this place?”
Jiang Wang shook his head and sighed.
Soon, the World Serpent members hiding in various parts of the Paradise World began to accelerate their actions.
Surging power began to erupt, and pillars formed by black power extended from the ground all the way to the sky.
Jiang Wang wanted to arrange for manpower to deal with all of this, but the problem was…
Everything was too late.
“If these people hadn’t been diverted, they would have had a chance to stop all of this.”
“But they were too impatient. With benefits in front of them, and bait in front of them, how could the fish resist taking the bait?”
“Now something big has really happened.”
The black power began to accelerate, and the entire sky was completely stained, turning pitch black.
At this moment, the people in the battle fell into panic.
“The entire Paradise World has been sealed off by our World Serpent. At this moment, I am the absolute king here.”
Shuten-dōji laughed.
“Cutting off the possibility of external personnel entering, you have no reinforcements. You want to fight us with these trash?”
He said, at this moment, his plan could be said to be smooth sailing.
Jiang Wang revealed a regretful expression.
Originally, they could have easily dealt with this powerful enemy in front of them.
But now, the situation had completely changed. The World Serpent had noticed the variables, so the plan began to accelerate.
And this variable was none other than Jiang Wang.
Shuten-dōji’s gaze collided with Jiang Wang’s from a distance.
“I won’t play with you anymore. For the next period of time, quietly feel despair.”
Shuten-dōji said, waving his hand. His goal had been achieved, and there was no need to continue to entangle here.
Without subsequent support, the people in front of him were not to be feared at all.
They could no longer make any waves. Next, he had to take care of serious matters.
Chapter 700: Scheme
Shuten-dōji’s scheme had not ended. A group of World Serpent members revealed themselves and joined the battle.
Everything in front of them gradually developed towards chaos.
The various forces in Paradise originally planned to directly solve Shuten-dōji and completely establish a victory.
But now, they had fallen into a desperate situation. Everything was developing in the worst direction.
Jiang Wang and Helles reunited, and after fighting Yamata no Orochi head-on, Helles looked a little embarrassed.
But in fact, he was not seriously injured. The injuries on his body were only the slightest scratches.
“Let’s retreat first. Although the development of the matter is not quite the same as I imagined.”
“But the subsequent changes are indeed acceptable.”
Jiang Wang said, raising his hand and rubbing his temples.
“What is gathered here are all the forces of the Paradise World, while the World Serpent only has two-thirds of its members.”
“This is Shuten-dōji’s subsequent arrangement. He plans to eliminate dissidents.”
Jiang Wang said, saying all of that guy’s plans in one breath.
Let all the Paradise forces and the dissatisfied members within the World Serpent organization be taken care of. This was Shuten-dōji’s scheming technique.
“We will not participate in this battle. After the battle ends.”
“The foreseeable result is that the Paradise forces will be completely wiped out.”
“And these two-thirds of the World Serpent members will also suffer heavy losses.”
With such actions, the World Serpent could be said to have made a big profit, almost locking in the battle situation.
After all, the existence that could openly hinder the implementation of their plan was gone.
External support was cut off, and internal enemies were also eliminated. Shuten-dōji had won a great victory.
But the premise was that Jiang Wang was not here. You must know that Jiang Wang was the biggest variable.
“My original plan was to rely on the combat power within Paradise to delay the World Serpent organization.”
“As long as we waited for subsequent support to arrive, we could steadily take down those bastards.”
“Using benefits to unite these people, but Shuten-dōji changed his plan…”
