Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 231 Planet Destruction Plan
The chosen champions of the God of Courage launched a surprise attack, but few succeeded in killing them.

Because by the time they realize something is wrong, it's already too late. Just like when you find one cockroach, there are definitely several nests of cockroaches nearby. When someone goes mad because of the influence of the god of wisdom, they should realize that the influence of the god of wisdom comes much earlier than they expected.

In other words, what they are facing now is no longer some local natives, but clearly one after another, the chosen ones of the god of wisdom.

This is a battle between chosen gods, even a battle between a level 400 chosen god and a level 200 chosen god. It's already a miracle that they survived.

Moreover, they faced more than just the influence of the god of wisdom.

"Try to avoid fighting with these local natives."

When these defeated and disarmed chosen champions gathered together, the chosen champion Elias revealed his discovery.

"Even if we survive, it won't matter. They can level up as long as they fight us."

Yes, this is a blessing from the god of courage. Originally, this was supposed to be a reward for these chosen champions, giving them an opportunity to hunt local natives and quickly improve their skills.

But now, this blessing, which should have made them stronger, has instead made the original natives even stronger.

"Who is truly the chosen one of the gods of courage?"

These chosen champions all had the same thought pop into their minds.

However, this is indeed the rule of the God of Courage. The local natives are indeed entitled to receive the blessing. If the chosen champion participating in the competition is too weak, there are even times when the local natives win. However, at present, this blessing has undergone an immeasurable change after being mixed with the influence of the God of Wisdom.

Yes, they are the chosen champions of the God of Courage, but now they must face a terrifying monster who is simultaneously bathed in two divine blessings.

Even so, they never considered retreating.

They are the chosen ones of the god of courage, and the word "escape" does not exist in their minds. Even when facing an enemy with double divine grace, they will fight to the last moment.

Or perhaps, stronger enemies actually excite them more, since defeating a powerful foe is itself a testament to their courage.

Thus, in order to fight against powerful enemies, these chosen champions spontaneously formed battle groups, sharing armor, weapons, and even combat intelligence. At this moment, they no longer regarded this as a competition, but as a real war.

When two armies clash, they must first declare war openly and honorably.

So Elias came before the ancient serpent once more.

"It is regrettable that because you failed to contain the influence of the god of wisdom, we are now locked in a life-or-death struggle."

Looking up at the ancient serpent's mountain-like body, Elias suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

To be fair, this ancient snake has a good nature. If there were no conflict between them, he would actually be quite happy to have such a friend.

But now...

"You're actually saying there's a problem on my end?"

Du Yi's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

He originally had a good impression of this chosen champion, after all, they had explored the Underworld together, and he had also learned a lot of knowledge that did not exist on this planet because of Elias.

However, this move of the villain accusing the enemy first is really unbearable for Du Yi to watch. "Weren't you paratroopers the ones who started the killing? This is the first time I've ever seen a preemptive strike followed by a declaration of war."

"..."

Elias wanted to say that this was to prevent these local natives from suffering further harm from the god of wisdom, but it was clear that saying so now would be of no use.

He had tried, but the ancient serpent clearly couldn't comprehend the wickedness of the God of Wisdom. Since this land had already been influenced by the God of Wisdom, he could only try to destroy everything here.

Since the goal is to destroy everything here, a detailed battle plan must be formulated. Only Elias can do this, since in a sense, he is the one who knows this land best right now—after all, he is the only one who knows about the existence of the Underworld, and he even holds the position of Underworld Guide.

"If they want to destroy everything here, the Underworld must be their primary target. Otherwise, if that ancient serpent is willing to activate the Underworld's reincarnation system, we will be facing an undead army with immortal souls."

It was at this moment that Elias realized just how formidable the enemy they were facing was. The Underworld system and the blessings of the God of Courage were surprisingly well-matched, and even the influence of the God of Wisdom would be infinitely amplified under this cycle mechanism.

The chosen champions of the God of Courage are one less to die, but the local natives don't really care about life or death. If they survive the battle, they will level up. If they die in the battle and are resurrected, they will have the experience of death and can improve their skills again. So whether they live or die, they can improve. Who can stop them?

"But destroying the Underworld... won't be that easy."

Thinking about this, Elias's head began to ache.

As the last legacy of the God of Death, the Underworld has long been an independent operating system. Regardless of whether the God of Death exists or not, the Underworld will operate independently. In other words, even if they kill the ancient serpent, they cannot destroy the Underworld. On the contrary, it will cause the local natives to lose their only leader and completely turn to the God of Wisdom.

If the god of wisdom were to receive that piece of the underworld...

"hiss……"

Elias was hesitant to even think about it.

But this also gave Elias an advantage: if the God of Courage could take over this underworld, and if the God of Courage's blessings could spread throughout the underworld, then these chosen ones of the God of Courage would also possess immortality on this planet.

"And if you think about it that way..."

Thinking of this, a plan to destroy the Underworld suddenly popped into Elias's mind.

It won't just destroy the underworld, but also the chosen ones of the God of Wisdom, and even this planet that has been corrupted by the God of Wisdom will be destroyed.

"So... are you really going to do this?"

When Elias revealed his plan, the other chosen champions were stunned.

"Do you really know what you're doing? If we lure that one here, we might all be corrupted too!"

"What, are you scared?"

Elias scoffed.

"It's just a fleeting moment of pleasure. Don't you even have the courage to face it?"
