Chapter 2094: with translation of chapter title

Strong!?

Combat unit?

Hearing Lin An's words, Gao Tian couldn't help but exchange a glance with everyone, especially Wen Ya, who rarely heard Lin An mention herself, and her heart suddenly tightened.

It's not that they don't understand Lin An's meaning; it's that the two words 'strong' from his mouth truly have anything to do with them?

To be honest, Gao Tian and Zhang Tie might barely count.

If they really encounter a Fifth Stage, they're just soy sauce—if they don't drag the team down, that's already a blessing.

Seeing Wen Ya and the others' lack of confidence, Lin An didn't waste words, directly looked at Wen Ya and voiced his idea.

"Wen Ya, I know that during this time, I haven't really talked with you..."

"This is my problem; I overlooked you. I also understand what's making you upset. All I can say is that some things I got wrong—otherwise our situation would be much better than now."

"Lin An...? You didn't do anything wrong..."

Before Wen Ya's heart could even shudder, she hastily spoke up to signal to Lin An that she didn't take it to heart.

However, the next second, Lin An looked at her seriously:

"No, it's indeed my problem."

"I've always felt I need to bear all the pressure, I don't want any of you to get hurt. This might feel right emotionally, but it's absolutely wrong logically."

"Besides that, at this stage the enemies we encounter far surpass your growth speed, largely because of me."

"Moreover, I've never thought about the problem of overall team coordination."

Lin An took a deep breath and frankly admitted his mistake.

He also, before entering the Star Radiant Battlefield, while thinking about how to raise the team members' strength, suddenly realized that he had been neglecting something all along.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Lin An simply simulated a tactical diagram:

"Wen Ya, your ability is mental link, a supportive effect. In solo combat your survivability is poor, but you can actually fully take on the role of the brain."

"Remember the combat demonstration I just gave? Theoretically, as long as ability switching is fast enough and combat information judgment is accurate enough, you can completely enable any Fourth Rank to cross ranks and kill a Fifth Stage!"

"Of course, I know you were just thinking that this seems hard to achieve."

"In most situations, a Fifth Stage's combat awareness and thought speed exceed yours; trying to make a judgment in an instant while seeing the big picture is almost unrealistic."

"Even if I manage to do it."

"But if we let you, Wen Ya, take over the thinking for Zhang Tie and the others, then it could be done!"

Lin An spoke decisively, his eyes flashing.

This is what he thought of when he conceived the Omniscient Domain! Back then, he could survive being surrounded by so many Fifth Stages thanks to the Omniscient Domain providing information and giving perfect countermeasures!

Upon reflection, the Omniscient Domain assists him in battle from a third-person perspective, while Wen Ya hides in the rear, relying on mental link to instantly transmit commands— theoretically this can be achieved!

In other words, Wen Ya equals half an Omniscient Domain, a Heavenly Human form! Even under Mo Ling's protection, she could enable Gao Tian and the others to attain a similar total energy limit as his!

"I... I'll command the battle!?"

Hearing Lin An's idea, Wen Ya instantly gaped in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

Although at the team's inception Lin An had her assist Gao Tian in combat, as everyone's strength grew her survivability became too weak, and this fighting style was gradually phased out.

"Exactly! Don't doubt yourself, Wen Ya."

Lin An spoke earnestly, his voice full of trust.

"You've spent a long time interacting with Gao Tian and Zhang Tie; when assigning tasks normally, isn't it you who does the assigning? You know exactly what they're good at and what they're not—there's no problem with that!"

"Moreover, I'll allocate a portion of the Faith Prototype to you; it contains all my combat knowledge, wrapped with rule information. By relying on the Faith Prototype to share the thinking, you can completely become another me!"

"Your task is simple: stay in Mo Ling's space, rely on mental link to obtain real-time information from Gao Tian and the others, then command the battle!"

Artificially simulating the Omniscient Domain—this is also an experiment Lin An wants to try!

He can't distribute too many shares of the Faith Prototype, because not everyone can withstand it; besides, only he can bear its power, while others who accept it will have all their mind and spirit consumed by it. Aside from thinking, using it in battle is utterly unrealistic. Thus, after pondering, Lin An suddenly realized that only Wen Ya is suitable!

Furthermore, after contacting the Red Empress, Lin An also thought perhaps he could add artificial intelligence to assist judgment.

That would amount to having the effect of absolute rationality!

In Lin An's vision, the final effect even makes him unable to suppress a surge of excitement!

Mo Ling provides protection and transmission ability; if Wen Ya can link with more people, she can entirely become a mobile command hub on the battlefield, granting all 'God Warriors' the effect of a pseudo-Omniscient Domain.

And when facing strong enemies, as the God Warriors begin to go berserk and lose rationality upon death, combining the two would be equivalent to conjuring ten thousand more of him out of thin air!

Especially, the more 'eyes' there are, the more information Wen Ya sees when linking; the local optimal solution brought by the Omniscient Domain could very well directly evolve into a global optimal solution! By then, Lin An couldn't even imagine what kind of heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying combat power that would be!

After roughly understanding Lin An's meaning, Wen Ya also couldn't help but feel excited inside, even trembling.

Yes, she is capable of doing this! Perhaps providing energy is beyond her current low strength, but directing combat...

"Holy shit! Captain Lin, does that mean I don't need to use my brain then!?"

"So, is this why you kept me here? To protect your most important person?"

Seeing Zhang Tie's eyes light up, he thought he could discard his brain.

Mo Ling glanced at Wen Ya, then at Lin An, her gaze deep and inscrutable.

She also understood Lin An's meaning; put simply, it was to have her protect Wen Ya, preventing Wen Ya from being beheaded in battle.

Facing Mo Ling's deep gaze, Lin An blinked slightly, then after a moment's hesitation, looked at her seriously:

"No, you are the most important."

"Without you, nothing can be done."

Before Mo Ling could even stiffen in surprise, a rare flash of panic crossed her eyes.

Lin An raised his head to look at Zhang Tie:

"Continue with the battle plan we just discussed."

"Zhang Tie, your biggest weakness is mobility. So in the upcoming battle, you can completely absorb damage first to draw the enemy's attention."

"Once the damage accumulates to a certain stage, you can completely have Mo Ling bring you charging into the crowd to achieve a mass instant kill!"
