Han Wu confird his selection and a brand new tower was built on his territory.

Attack Rate: 0.1 second

Sacred Object Slot: 10]
When Han Wu saw that the Dark Locustman Lord Tower had an Attack stat of 0, he was imdiately confused. He blinked and looked again, convinced his eyes were playing a trick on him. It took him a mont of careful inspection to confirm that the tower’s Attack stat was, indeed zero.
The despair that had initially flooded his mind was quickly replaced by elation as he continued to read the rest of the tower’s information. He was overjoyed to discover that while the tower possessed no offensive capabilities whatsoever, it was instead equipped with an arsenal of incredibly powerful supporting skills.
The tower’s Dark Domain had a radius of 100 kiloters, giving it an area of about 31,400 square kiloters. This domain alone covered more than half of Han Wu’s current territory. Furthermore, the two passive skills it ca with, Confusion and Erosion, were also extrely effective.
Not only did the tower have the ability to turn enemy units on each other with Confusion, but it would also continuously chip away at their Defense. This ant that even the strongest units, provided their Defense were sufficiently lowered, could be damaged by his weakest Locust Tower. It was precisely the kind of tower he needed to effectively counter the Holy Knights.
As the Dark Domain spread across his territory, the Holy Knights were imdiately affected. The Dark Locustman Lord Tower unleashed a barrage of attacks every 0.1 seconds, each with a 10% chance of confusing and disorienting its target. As a result, the Holy Knights began to attack one another while within the Dark Domain, severely disrupting their advance.
With the Holy Knights temporarily stalled, Han Wu took advantage of the delay to quickly purchase a large number of Sacred Objects through the trade channel. He decided against using the Wolf Tooth, as it provided just 10 Attack even after rging it to its limit, which was of little use against the Holy Knights.
He bought another Sacred Object of a higher rank, the Swift Cheetah Tail, using a significant amount of Energy.
[Sacred Object: Swift Cheetah Tail (Elite). Increases attack rate by 5% and 2 Attack when equipped.]
While the effect of this Sacred Object was beneficial, most representatives passed on them, finding the minor bonuses not worth the cost. Han Wu, however, bought every single one he could find on the trade channel, ending up with 50 of them for a total of 20,000 Energy.
His first attempt was to rge ten into a single 9 Swift Cheetah Tail, which granted a 25% attack rate and 20 Attack to his towers. However, to get the most out of his remaining Sacred Objects, he decided to rge the remaining into 4 versions. Each of these provided a respectable boost of 15% attack rate and 10 Attack.
With all the items equipped, his Dark Locustman Lord Tower underwent a dramatic transformation, its attack rate soaring to an impressive 145%. Han Wu had expected the tower to attack even faster, but he was surprised to discover that the attack speed was capped and could not exceed one attack per 0.01 second.
However, to ensure the warga remained balanced, the system bestowed a new attacking thod on the Dark Locustman Lord Tower. This new skill, called Double Hit, allowed the tower to inflict damage twice with every single attack, though the damage from the second hit would be reduced.
The Dark Locustman Lord Tower now boasted an attack power of 100, which ant its new Double Hit skill would inflict a first blow of 100 damage and a second blow of 55 damage. Unfortunately, even with the combined hits, the total damage still failed to overco the Holy Knights’ powerful Defense, rendering the tower’s attacks completely ineffective.
However, Han Wu wasn’t worried. He was biding his ti, waiting for the second skill of his tower to take full effect. He had already noticed the constant -1, -1 damage numbers ticking away from the Holy Knights’ heads. Those numbers were not an indicator of their decreasing HP but were a representation of their Defense being gradually eroded.
With an attack rate of 0.01 seconds, the Dark Locustman Lord Tower was launching 100 attacks every second, and with its Double Hit ability, it was hitting the enemy with 155 damage per attack. The Holy Knights’ 600 Defense stood no chance against the constant barrage, their Defense lting away to zero within just three seconds, finally making them vulnerable to the Dark Locustman Lord Tower’s attacks.
The tower’s absurd attack rate, now dealing 155 damage per strike, resulted in a devastating 15,500 damage per second. Having lost their Defense, the Holy Knights, with only 3,000 HP, were instantly obliterated in a single second, despite their recovery skill being activated.
After his first victory against the Holy Knights, Han Wu was rewarded with a large amount of Energy and four Unique Sacred Objects known as Holy Silver Armor. The sudden annihilation of her units, however, did not go unnoticed by their owner, Elina, the representative from the God King of Life’s faction.
The Divine Civilization housed nurous colleges dedicated to raising the next generation of Gods—Imperial College was not the sole organization of this type. Elina ca from the most highly-regarded church among them, the Radiant Church, and her core race was the very reason she was selected to represent Life. These units, the Holy Knights, were so absurdly strong that they were considered unbeatable by any lower-ranking towers.
During the initial stages of the warga, Elina secured quite a decent amount of land and Energy. She then proceeded to use this newfound wealth to aggressively erect nurous towers and summon even more units, all with the purpose of completely trampling the representatives from the opposing faction.
Consequently, having her supposedly unbeatable Holy Knights exterminated ca to her as quite a shock. In fact, the entirety of her troops was obliterated. Elina was confused by what had happened.
Who is strong enough in this stage to kill my Holy Knights? she wondered. Is there soone more powerful than ?
“No, that cannot be. I am the daughter of the God King of Light. I am the strongest! I will defeat the one who killed my Holy Knights!” she snapped.
With that, she drew a Final Battle Card and activated it on Han Wu’s territory. The mont she did, a notification flashed before him.
[The God King of Life’s representative Elina has just activated a Final Battle Card targeting you! As a result, both your territory and hers are now completely sealed off, and neither party can withdraw from this area until one of you is defeated.]
“Again?” he blurted out.
A transparent barrier surged into place, enclosing both territories. Han Wu turned toward Elina’s side and took in the vast expanse of her domain. The land glead white beneath the sky, stretching so far it was estimated to cover over 150,000 square kiloters.
Han Wu was shocked. “How many representatives has she defeated?”
Elina erged from the heart of her territory, revealing herself at last. Her long blonde hair frad a tall, fair-skinned figure, and her delicate features held an angelic beauty.
She approached the edge of the boundary with effortless grace, then stopped and offered a greeting. “Hello. I am Elina, the daughter of the God King of Light. I would prefer that you surrender of your own will.”
Han Wu frowned. The Divine Civilization did indeed have a God King of Light, one who slightly surpassed both Life and Death in power. This was not an entity he could afford to offend at this juncture. Yet, this warga was between Life and Death, and they were rely representatives of their respective God Kings. Why should he yield to her?
Surrender would tarnish not only his own reputation but also that of Imperial College and Death. He couldn’t afford to do so.
“I refuse,” Han Wu declared firmly. “If we must fight, let us do so fairly and honorably.”
Elina shook her head with stubborn resolve. “No, I am the daughter of the God King of Light. My power is imnse. If you refuse to surrender, I shall send my Holy Knights to trample your lands.”
Han Wu scoffed. “Then bring it on. I'm eager to witness the strength of the God King of Light's own daughter.”
