I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 304: 303: The Battle Begins!

Translator: 549690339

“Are we… really going?”

At a location about a hundred kilometers away from the Seven Gods Palace, Du Gang and the others were in a forest having their final discussion.

“We must go!”

Du Gang affirmed, “This time, we will definitely complete the mission…”

“No!”

Lan Zhize was somewhat hesitant and bitter, “I just feel… knowing that the enemy has set a trap for us, isn’t it foolish to still go?”

“This isn’t foolishness, it’s a matter of choice!”

Du Gang said with a faint smile, “We are not stepping into the trap, we’re acting as bait, all in order to complete the mission!”

He knew these guys weren’t really scared. It was just that it was their first time doing something like this, and that made them nervous.

Putting it bluntly, they were still somewhat reserved in their judgment of Du Gang.

Although everyone trusted his reasoning about the location of the Chosen One, they were still somewhat apprehensive at this point.

“But what if they all show up? Over a hundred people, plus four main gods, setting up a barrier in advance, we might not be able to escape!”

Du Gang smiled faintly, “If the situation you mentioned occurs, do we have any other choice besides fighting back?”

“For us, if we die in their hands, other gods can resurrect us. But if the mission fails, all gods will die!”

Indeed, death is not terrifying, the real terror is the eradication of all gods!

The four of them sighed, at this point, they didn’t have much of a choice!

Seeing the state of the four, Du Gang shook his head and chuckled, “You guys are worrying too much!”

“This time, what we have to do is not to kill all the people who have ambushed us…”

“We just need to kill the weaker ones amongst them. At the same time, everyone needs to have a bit of acting skill…”

At this point, he paused, then quickly asked, “Do you guys understand what acting is?”

“Hey, hey, Du Gang, you’re going too far. Just because my IQ isn’t as high as yours doesn’t mean we don’t understand these common terms…”

All the people present were rolling their eyes, expressing their disdain and helplessness. Clearly, they were somewhat unhappy with Du Gang’s look of contempt.

Du Gang laughed, “I was just worried you guys wouldn’t understand. As long as everyone knows, that’s fine. In other words, every time you kill someone, you all need to put on a look of near collapse, as if you are about to give up…”

“Also, if you burst out with too strong a power, make sure to look weak. Make sure to let people think you have already exhausted all your energy…”

Kou Yingwu interrupted Du Gang at this point, asking, “What kind of strong power you are referring to? How much?”

He was worried that revealing too much power would attract the enemy’s attention.

Du Gang pondered for a moment and said, “A combat power of ten thousand. As long as you exert a combat power of more than ten thousand, you have to warm up in advance, letting the enemy know that you are about to burst…”

“Warm up in advance?”

Tao Xuan Zhu was also somewhat puzzled, “I understand the weakness you mean after the burst, but what’s this ‘warm up in advance’?”

The others were also curious about this new term.

“I’ll demonstrate it for you!”

Upon saying this, Du Gang quickly exercised his facial muscles and transformed his expression.

He showed a face of rage, with fire-spewing eyes, smoke-exhaling nose, red-face, and blushing ears. He looked as if he had been insulted and was ready to fight the enemy to the death.

“Ah?!”

The four were taken aback by his sudden transformation and exclaimed in surprise.

“Du Gang, you have this ability?!”

“This is too realistic, isn’t it?!”

“If you weren’t demonstrating here, I would think your enemy had appeared…”

Du Gang, on the other hand, instantly reverted back to his previous self in the next moment.

He smiled, “It’s roughly like this. Before you explode with power, you must show it, let your enemies know you’re about to burst, and try not to burst too high…”

“A combat power of around ten thousand is just right. At other times, retreat if you can, escape if you can, and follow my command at the same time…”

Du Gang’s eyes flickered slightly, he nodded and said, “This time, we’re not only going to kill, but also to retreat, and find the right time to escape at the end!”

“Escape?”

Lan Zhize looked baffled, “Aren’t we here to kill and complete the mission?”

Du Gang rolled his eyes and scoffed, “Acting, acting!”

“If we don’t run, how will they fight?”

“Do you understand? We need to set the stage, then escape at the critical moment, so that they can play the second act!”

“Understood!”

This time, they all understood Du Gang’s next plan.

Du Gang continued, “Also, you need to maintain a precarious demeanor at all times, as if you could fall at any moment…”

“Haha, no problem!”

Lan Zhize laughed heartily, “I’ve watched plenty of dramas, I know how to do it!”

“As long as you know!”

Du Gang nodded, and after confirming the details with the others, he finally said, “Alright, it’s about time, let’s set out now!”

And so, the five of them moved towards the location agreed upon with Cang Yu.

The Seven Gods Palace was not only the residence of the gods but also the place where they discussed world affairs. Only the deities could enter.

On the road to the Seven Gods Palace, there was a valley located between two mountains.

At this moment, there were sixty or seventy deities laying in ambush on both sides of the valley.

Among these deities, there were four main gods, the rest were subordinate gods.

“Lord, are those outsiders really coming?”

“They should. According to the mole’s report, those outsiders are in cahoots with the rebel gods like Cang Yu, they will definitely pass here…”

The four main gods did not know that the ones laying in ambush were not the ones who were plotting rebellion with Cang Yu. On the contrary, these were the ones who were truly loyal to them.

Unfortunately, their suspicious nature took over. Since the death of the other three main gods, they have been paranoid, always feeling that the people below were out to get them.

So, even if Cang Yu only reported sixty to seventy people, they would believe it even if he said all the others had joined the rebellion!

“Anyway, let’s wait a little longer, and we’ll know whether these guys are coming or not…”

……..

Inside the Seven Gods Palace.

The four gods sat steadily on their thrones, observing the situation in the valley through a magical water mirror.

“Haha, there’s a good show to watch this time!” The ‘Fire’ god seemed the most relaxed. To him, it didn’t matter who died, as long as it wasn’t him.

“Indeed, these outsiders came at just the right time, capable of helping us clean up some people for us…”

During this time, they had been very restless, feeling as if their most important position was about to be lost.

This was because, back when they were the main gods, they had also been the Chosen Ones. Now, it was time for the old to be replaced, so naturally, they felt some sensitivity.

Outside the Seven Gods Palace, over seventy gods waited in silence.

They were waiting for the commands of the four insiders.

The four insiders, however, genuinely believed that these people were loyal to them, unaware that Cang Yu had already swapped two lists.

The ones truly loyal to them had already been added to Cang Yu’s list, while those who were plotting a rebellion posed as those most faithful to them.

Everyone present had an earnest devout expression but was inwardly smirking and formulating the ultimate secret plan of collaboration.

“Du Gang, what if there are restrictions at the Seven Gods Palace?”

Lan Zhize quietly voiced his concerns when they were approaching a valley that was close to the Seven Gods Palace.

Du Gang shook his head after hearing this, “We might not have to go to the Seven Gods Palace. Knowing Cang Yu, he’s likely to not tell us the actual location…”

“If he’s planning to trap us along the way, the most probable place is…”

“Wait!”

Du Gang suddenly halted, his eyebrows furrowing deeply.

“Doesn’t anyone find it odd how quiet it is around here? There’s no chirping or animal noises…”

Before he could finish, attacks started spraying out from both sides of the valley.

“Ambush!”

Du Gang bellowed in rage, hurriedly drawing his weapon to defend.

Seeing this, the others also quickly armed themselves.

At the same time, the ones in hiding around the valley leaped out, surrounding the five of them in a vast display of strength.

Despite the narrowness of the valley, it was at least twenty meters wide, and with the skill level of the gods, it was cramped.

“Attack!”

After surrounding the five, they attack decisively and without any hesitation.

They were bent on killing these outsiders to earn meritorious service, hoping to compete for the last three positions of the Main Gods.

In reality, this group of people knew nothing and were simply cannon fodder, clueless that they were being used as pawns in a chess game.

“Pfft!”

Du Gang spat out blood the moment he engaged in battle with the enemy. This was not an act, he had really been injured.

It should be noted that he was at the Three-Tribulation god spirit level. Despite cultivation to a hundred and third-degree Heavenly level, he was still no match for this many people.

Before unleashing the Jie-Character Secret, his combat power was just decent and equivalent to a common Six-Tribulation god spirit level.

That’s expected of Du Gang, starting off so aggressively!

Seeing Du Gang continuously spitting blood, the others couldn’t help but admire. He was always excellent, even when he was acting!

Seeing this, Lan Zhize couldn’t help but slow his actions to intentionally receive an enemy attack in order to keep up the act.

“Pfft~!”

He spits out a mouthful of fresh blood with a furious expression and yelled, “I won’t go down so easy.”

“I’m still young, how can I die here…”

The follower gods, seeing Lan Zhize’s actions, weren’t panicked but started getting excited instead. They wished they could immediately claim his head and present it to the Main God.

These two…

Kou Yingwu also wanted to show off his acting but the problem was that he was a Nine-Tribulation god spirit. It would be too fake if he started spitting blood so dramatically.

Although four Nine-Tribulation god spirits were currently surrounding him, they were really too weak.

Even if he restrained his strength and only showed the Mystic Art level, he was still able to fight more than competently.

At this moment, the four main gods surrounding him had a serious expression, they hadn’t expected that their opponent would have such immense strength.

This is bad!

Kou Yingwu, who was originally paying attention to the others, realized what was happening which sobered him up.

He was too conspicuous, even though he had restrained some of his strength, he had drawn too much attention.

He needed to appear weaker!

Upon this realization, Kou Yingwu cast aside all his worries and mimicked Du Gang’s previous performance.

“I’ll fight to the death with you!”

He bellowed in anger, although he didn’t spit blood, several bloody gashes could be seen on his body that made him appear heavily injured.

Seeing him in this state, the four who were previously anxious, immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Not only them, the others hiding behind the scenes also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Seems like these fellows are indeed rather ordinary.”

Fire God regained his composure and confidence, completely different from when he first heard about the Heavenly Court arrivals.

“What else could it be?” freewebnσvel.cѳm

The Main God in the yellow robe said dismissively, “Like that guy, he’s likely a rare existence even outside. The strength of these guys? This is more in line with what’s out there!”

“Boom!”

The first to make a move was Tao Xuanzhu, who was relatively weaker in terms of acting and was the first to kill.

This wasn’t because she wasn’t able to control her actions, but rather because there were too many men surrounding her.

She was the only woman among the five, and her beauty had naturally attracted scores of men.

Some even harboured the thought of violating her corpse after her death.

Her discontent was sparked by their lustful and presumptuous gazes. Without thinking, she killed several men.

However, everyone just felt awed by her beauty and strength, not overly concerned.

On the other hand, Du Gang was the one who performed the worst among them.

Unlike the others, who had at least killed a few people and reduced the number of enemies, Du Gang kept running around in this limited space, hopping about and hiding, appearing extremely haggard.

Du Gang was completely committed to this act!

Jia Xiangming was also moved by Du Gang’s performance. Like the others, he thought that Du Gang was just acting.

The truth was, Du Gang’s intelligence had, to some extent, smoothed over his cultivation defects, making everyone see him on par with a Nine-Tribulation god spirit.

However, Du Gang was in a predicament where the suffering could not be spoken of. He indeed has the combat strength of a Nine Tribulation god spirit, but that was only when he unleashed his power!

The Jie-Character Secret has time limitations, he couldn’t possibly unleash it in this situation against these unremarkable enemies, right?!

He had no choice but to drag it out a bit longer!

Thankfully, none of the people attacking him were Nine-Tribulation god spirits, there weren’t even any Eight-Tribulation god spirits.

While Kou Yingwu and the others thought Du Gang was strong, these follower gods didn’t see it the same way. They were able to sense everyone’s cultivation level through their attacks.

With only a Three-Tribulation god spirit cultivation level like Du Gang, it was enough to let him be surrounded and attacked by Middle-Rank and Lower-Rank gods.
