Chapter 1485: Chapter 644: One Man is an Army_2

Mu You’s attack against the Seam God failed to land, and at the same time, an oppressive aura of divinity swept over them.

The group instinctively turned to look. From the direction of the recent slash, a giant figure wielding a knife was quickly closing in on them.

As soon as the giant figure appeared, the flying carpet beneath Ling Long trembled as if it had encountered a bully.

"It really is the God of Decapitation!"

Mu You frowned. If the Decapitation God was here, this meant that the two frontline gods had been illusions all along.

These two deities never left in the first place; they had stayed behind in the City of Order, lying in wait to ambush them.

Then, what about the other directions?

If the enemy knew they were planning a sneak attack, it was unlikely they’d leave only two gods here to guard...

"The other directions have also encountered obstruction... Traces of Giant Warriors surround the ancient battlefield, forming a defensive line along its edges. It looks like the enemy intends to trap us in this area..." A report came from behind Mu You as the Chameleon Helmet revealed its presence. Indeed, an ambush had been set in other directions as well.

"What should we do? Should we retreat to the Star Spirit World first?" the Medicinal Plant Gatherer asked.

Their initial plan had been to catch the enemy off guard, but instead, the enemy had seized the upper hand.

Now, with the enemy hidden and their group exposed, persisting with the original plan carried unpredictable risks.

"How many giants are in the city?" Mu You didn’t rush to make a decision and instead asked calmly.

"Based on current intel, the estimate is above ten thousand but does not exceed fifteen thousand," Ava responded.

"Only ten thousand?" Mu You was taken aback.

"Yes, roughly ten thousand, but they appear to be the elite among the giants," Ava clarified.

Mu You suddenly understood. The giants may have gotten tipped off about their plans from some source, but they hadn’t taken them seriously enough.

The enemy had underestimated them! Believing that an equivalent number of Divine Beast troops would suffice to crush the Fools, they hadn’t deployed additional forces. Otherwise, had the giants’ numbers been doubled or tripled here, Mu You and his team would have had no choice but to retreat immediately.

But now, with only ten thousand giants, even elite ones, they could still fight. It merely meant advancing their plan sooner than expected, adding some pressure but not to the point of necessitating a retreat.

"What’s the situation in Sunset City?" Mu You asked.

"The Divine Beast armies show no signs of retreating. They’re still attacking Sunset City with full force..."

"The Fools’ defensive line had collapsed briefly earlier, forcing the Dragon Clan to engage prematurely. They launched a flanking maneuver against the Divine Beast armies from both sides, significantly reducing the defensive pressure on the Fools... The battle is now at a stalemate," Ava reported.

Ava’s system, linked directly to the World-Creating Mountain, provided her with real-time information about ongoing battles.

Mu You nodded. The Divine Beast armies’ lack of response to reinforce the city further confirmed their overconfidence, believing the giants here were enough to wipe out the Fools’ raiding party.

It was likely that the enemy planned to quickly eliminate the raiders here and then rush back to support the other battlefield.

This was precisely the Fools’ opportunity...

"Then let’s... continue!"

The Decapitation God was charging toward them at high speed from a distance. Mu You exhaled deeply and began to write a new rule.

As his Deviation Value surged sharply, a thunderous rumble emanated from the ground beneath the entire city.

A transparent barrier rose from the center of the City of Order, slicing through the city like a knife cutting a cake, neatly dividing it into two hemispheres.

The barrier happened to intercept the path of the approaching Decapitation God, separating him from the Seam God on opposite sides.

At the same time, barriers on the city’s outer walls also rose, forming a dome that completely sealed off the city.

The timed rule "Battlefield Closure" activated: The city is divided into multiple sealed zones. All barriers are indestructible. Divine Powers and Divine Arts cannot penetrate the barriers to cause any effect. Only allies can enter and exit freely. Duration: 5 hours.

Writing this particular rule directly increased Mu You’s Deviation Value by one-third! Given that his upper limit had already increased seven hundredfold, the cost of this rule was unimaginable.

But there was no choice—this rule was necessary. To fight both the Decapitation God and the Seam God simultaneously, separating them was the first step.

The Seam God frowned as the barrier rose before him, momentarily unsure of its significance.

However, upon seeing the Decapitation God now isolated on the other side, he roughly understood the Fools’ strategy. His expression turned peculiar: If they thought dividing them could lead to victory, they were underestimating the gods...

Elsewhere, the Decapitation God stopped abruptly when the barrier emerged in his path.

After a half-second hesitation, he swung his knife, unleashing a crescent-shaped Sword Qi, not at Mu You but at the barrier ahead.

"Bang!"

The slash struck the barrier with dazzling brilliance.

A visible crack appeared on the barrier but failed to shatter it. Moments later, the crack automatically repaired itself, returning the barrier to its pristine state.

However, the Decapitation God found himself bound by an Order’s Lock, a penalty for attempting to violate the rule.

He glanced at the barrier, intact despite his massive strike, and frowned slightly.

As for the chains binding him, he casually swung his knife, releasing a small burst of Sword Qi, shattering the chains instantly.

Mu You’s lips twitched as he observed. It truly was the Decapitation God—his barrier, created at such a massive cost in Deviation Value, had still been cracked with one slash.

Though the crack was repaired, the restoration had consumed additional Deviation Value...

Mu You had initially planned to expend more Deviation Value to isolate the Decapitation God into a completely sealed space, giving him freedom to handle the Seam God.

But now he saw that was wishful thinking. If he didn’t stay to contain the Decapitation God and allowed him to rampage unchecked, the barriers would inevitably fall.

Mu You exhaled deeply and began writing another rule.

"Everyone, proceed as planned!" Mu You’s voice echoed in the minds of all the Fools.

This was a momentary rule meant to relay his command to allies—simple, low-cost in terms of Deviation Value.

On the battlefield, all the Fools began to move.

Lin Xue, the Black Angel, and ten City Lords were the first to cross the barrier, heading straight for the Seam God’s position.

Ordinary players stayed on the outer perimeter, forming a defensive line to fend off the Giant Warriors, preventing them from reaching the central battle with the two gods.

The scene quickly split into three distinct zones: the outer ring became a regular skirmish area for soldiers; the inner zones saw Mu You alone squaring off against the Decapitation God on one side, while on the other side, the Lamp God, Lin Xue, three duplicates, and ten City Lords surrounded the Seam God.

The Seam God glanced at the dozen or so figures enveloped in Divine Skin surrounding him. Then his gaze shifted to the other battle, where the Decapitation God faced Mu You alone. He immediately grasped the Fools’ intention: they were targeting him!

Their plan was clear: delay the other two confrontations while focusing on overwhelming him with superior numbers here.

Understanding this strategy filled the Seam God with rage: he’d been underestimated! Him—the Seam God—treated as the weakest link for a swift takedown...

This was an unforgivable insult!

Before he could dwell further, the dozen figures opposite were already summoning their Divine Skins and launching their attacks.

Furious, the Seam God sneered. "You imbeciles will pay for your arrogance!"

With a sweeping motion of his arms, the ground around him began to tremble. Dozens of stitched monstrosities emerged, taking on grotesque forms as they rapidly coalesced into over a hundred bizarre creatures, blocking the advance of the fifteen attackers.

"Let me show you what it means when one man is an entire army!" the Seam God declared with an icy laugh.

More than a hundred Stitch Beasts surged forward to confront the fifteen attackers.

From the opposing group, the first to move was the Black Angel.

Under Ava’s control, the Black Angel’s wings spread wide, propelling him forward at incredible speed. He surged past his teammates and sent the leading misshapen beast flying with a powerful kick.

He then raised his arms, which shifted into an arsenal of cannons and guns, unleashing a barrage of devastating firepower.

The downed beast, unable to evade, was instantly obliterated into a pile of flesh and bone.

"Futile. My Stitch Beasts aren’t mere animals—they are true immortal Divine Beasts!" the Seam God sneered, moving his fingers.

The dismembered remains on the ground began to recombine, and in moments, the beast stood up again, unscathed.
