Chapter 2447: Plan To Kill The Unkillable.
She took the information that she had about the rank 8 undying godclads and gave it to Legion. Legion used this information to plan how they would kill a demigod, an undying godclad, while the demigod telepath continued to capture illusionists for them to eat their flesh.
While they were eating the flesh of illusionists, they realized that the pieces of flesh that they cut away from the bodies of the illusionists didn’t heal.
They did some research about this and learned that this was because the power of the illusionists was being stolen by them as they were eating their flesh.
Legion expected the illusionists to heal their wounds, but that was impossible for them to do on their own because the act of eating the flesh of the illusionists is a powerful ritual for stealing their power.
In order to recover from their wounds and not die, they would require the water of life. Legion had some of these, which they gave to the rank 8 illusionists.
They didn’t give the water of life to the rank 7 illusionists because they were not willing to waste such a good thing on weaklings. Not only are the rank 7 illusionists weak, but they are also useless as slaves since Legion already has a rank 8 illusionist to enslave.
So Legion saved the rank 8 illusionist but ate the rank 7 ones to death. After they had eaten enough flesh, they moved to kill a rank 8 undying godclad so that they would gain the rank 8 divine flesh that they needed to advance the pathway.
For this plan, they prepared the rank 1 Cloak divine ability of the pathway of darkness, the rank 4 Power of Wealth divine ability of the pathway of merchants, the rank 4 Invisibility divine ability of the pathway of illusionists, the rank 1 Predict divine ability of the pathway of fate, the rank 4 Marionette divine ability of the pathway of fate, and the rank 4 Identify Information divine ability of the pathway of seers.
These divine abilities are the ones that they really need for their plan to succeed. But they acquired some more to prepare for accidents.
The extra divine abilities that they prepared are the rank 4 Phase Shift divine ability of the pathway of space, the rank 4 Disable divine ability of the pathway of error, and the rank 2 Danger and Fortune divine ability of travelers.
They contemplated using the rank 2 Identify divine ability of merchants that is capable of seeing through illusions, but they opted for the Identify Information divine ability instead because it has the combined effect of the rank 1 Evaluation divine ability and the rank 2 Identify divine ability of the pathway of merchants.
The Evaluation divine ability is a divine ability of merchants for telling the value of objects, while the Identify divine ability is for telling the name and functions of an object.
These two divine abilities will be great in finding a demigod undying godclad in a crowd of people and finding them when they become invisible. But it is clearly a better idea to choose one divine ability that can do the same thing instead of two divine abilities.
With their divine abilities prepared, they set out for the general location of the undying godclad. They didn’t have to travel across the world to get there.
Thanks to the memory of the illusionist who had been there before, they have a vivid image of the place and can get there with just a thought.
This time, they didn’t have to worry about being ambushed. This is even though the information came from the same demigod that tried to trap and capture them earlier. This thought made them laugh.
They were amused for a while, but they became serious after they reached the location of the undying godclad. They are about to kill one of the most difficult beings to kill, so they have to be serious.
Every divine ability of an undying godclad improves their survivability and makes them difficult to kill. For instance, at this point when they are beginning to execute plans to kill a demigod undying godclad, the target will begin to sense danger through their rank 6 Danger Sense divine ability and will start to escape.
They haven’t even seen the undying godclad yet. But the undying godclad will still sense the danger as long as they make any move that will threaten their life and escape.
In order to avoid their hunt from failing right from the start, they used the rank 1 Cloak divine ability and the rank 4 Invisibility divine ability and disappeared. Then they began setting up a large net of web around the area using the rank 4 Marionette divine ability.
In a normal situation, setting up a web in a place shouldn’t alarm an undying god because what they are doing is harmless on its own. But an undying godclad will still sense the danger because the web they are setting up is too close and because the target of the web is the undying godclad.
If they had set up the web somewhere else and used a bait to lure the undying godclad over, the undying godclad wouldn’t sense the danger until it was too close or until they were about to interact with the trap.
But Legion doesn’t have the luxury of setting up traps. What they do have the luxury of doing is using two divine abilities from two separate pathways that are meant to hide and avoid being perceived.
The Cloak divine ability alone should be enough because assassins use it very well to hide their killing intentions. But Legion wanted to be very sure that they wouldn’t tip off the undying godclad, so they also used the invisibility divine ability.
The demigod undying godclad was staying in a large castle in a city. So Legion surrounded the whole place with webs.
They even covered the sky with webs. When they were done, they had formed a large cocoon of webs around the entire compound.
