Chapter 4262: Heroes Attack! (Part 2)

Lord Batman was indeed very vigilant. He stood before the wall furthest in the grid, carefully examining this unknown creature in front of him. He heard the other party's voice, but in the current environment, it was hard to say whether it was a hallucination.

Look around, an endless snowfield, completely a desolate, cold, uninhabited place. And they were wearing cold-proof suits from the research station, looking just like research personnel. Just at this moment, they bumped into a mass of unknown gray mist on the ice sheet, and the other party was even trying to communicate with him. This looked just like the lamp in front of an anglerfish's head no matter how you looked at it.

"Alright, I am indeed not human, but there is no rule saying only humans can participate," Gray Mist explained, "I am really a player, not a monster generated by the map."

"Why are you talking so much to him? Can't you just turn into a human form?" Greed asked.

"The problem is who I turn into; wouldn't it be even more terrifying if I turned into you?"

"Uh..."

"Alright," Lord Batman said, "who is your teammate?"

"You asked the right question," Gray Mist said, "I do have a teammate, but I can't tell you his name, due to some reasons I can't explain. Otherwise, you can just treat me as a monster."

"What kind of mess is this." Lord Superman muttered to himself in the room. He said: "Don't worry about this for now, try the combat system."

"Are you crazy?" Although Lord Batman said so, his tone was still very calm, he said, "Do you think I look like I can beat this thing in front of me?"

"Rest assured, the other party must also be restricted; you might not necessarily be unable to beat him. And we always have to fight an encounter battle; doesn't it make no difference who the target is?"

Lord Batman sighed; he knew Lord Superman had made up his mind to fight. He didn't care; fighting anyone was the same, anyway, it was just a game.

Thus, Lord Batman continued to move forward. Gray Mist was a bit panicked instead, saying: "Don't come over! Let's talk things out!"

Lord Batman didn't listen to him. The grids they were in soon bordered each other. And just at the moment the two grids bordered, Lord Batman's voice rang out.

"Oh, this combat isn't triggered, it can be actively opened; it doesn't necessarily require the two of you to make contact. Let me see..."

Just when Lord Superman chose to start the battle, Greed's side also received a prompt. The entire screen turned into a red frame, and except for the teammate in the very center, status bars appeared on both the left and right sides.

On the left was the health bar, on the right was the mana bar, and in the very center appeared a row of cards.

These cards were actually the most complex; each one had a complete standing illustration, and there was a long description. The commanders of both sides tacitly didn't move, all checking the cards.

Greed roughly looked at them; these cards were Gray Mist's skills, and there were no basic attacks. It seemed basic attacks had to be fought by himself. Only three types of skills were drawn, which were "Factor Infiltration," "Symbiote Strike," and "Nameless Mist."

The first skill, "Factor Infiltration," was an auxiliary skill, and the description was: "Mist is everywhere; by devouring the opponent's cells, devour one of the opponent's hand cards and store it in the factor. Subsequently, when the opponent uses the same type of skill, they will suffer continuous damage from the latent factor."

The second skill, "Symbiote Strike," was relatively simple, and it was an attack skill: "Mist changes into thousands of forms, turning into the most powerful fist, giving the opponent a big one, with a total of three stages of attacks. Each stage of attack damage settlement increases by 10%/35%/70% respectively. If all three stages of attacks hit, it will cause the opponent to enter a dizzy state."

And the third skill was the most complex; one look and you knew it was Gray Mist's core skill. The description of "Nameless Mist" was: "The true identity of the mist. Spend all remaining mental value and action points to liberate Gray Mist into a nameless thing. When liberated, deduct 60% mental value from all opponents in the combat area, and freeze two action points.

Transform 'Factor Infiltration' into 'Face Fear': Face the Outer God, heart and mind trembling. All attack-type cards in the hand are transformed into 'Fear'. For every 'Fear' card played, deduct 10% of current mental value, and freeze one action point. If in a state of fear, and mental value returns to zero, trigger 'What is that'. Increase received attack damage by 200%, increase received environmental damage by 300%, and unable to cause damage to any neutral creatures.

Transform 'Symbiote Strike' into 'Face Nightmare': Midnight dream return, horror and fear. Nameless Mist causes three stages of mixed strikes to the opponent. Attack attributes are determined by the state with the opponent's lowest numerical value. Each stage of attack damage increases respectively. If all three stages of attacks hit, both exchange positions."

After reading this skill description, Greed understood: this battle must be a super-model battle of various numerical monsters. Nameless Mist had come out, so for the sake of balance, others wouldn't be weak either.

However, soon, he saw passive skills on the left information bar of the screen.

Gray Mist: "Formless and qualityless, the mist-like body makes him immune to all basic attacks, but he defaults to appearing in all positions on the field, and is not restricted by the opponent's attack distance when attacked."

Greed slapped his forehead; he knew that if he were this strong, how could there be no restrictions? This was a war chess game, and grasping attack distance was the most important thing. As a result, Gray Mist defaulted to covering the entire combat area, and you could hit him no matter which grid you hit; what was the point of playing this?

However, thinking about it, it made sense; if there were no shortcomings, then once the Nameless Mist state was opened, wouldn't it be whoever came would die? The passive of defaulting to a large hit range couldn't be considered as having no reason. After all, Gray Mist was indeed very large; if he wanted to appear and make trouble, it was indeed very easy to be discovered.

On the other side, Lord Superman had already started playing cards. He first used a "Detective Insight" skill of Batman, which allowed him to see the passive effects and the types of hand cards of the opponent. Looking at this passive, Lord Superman understood: this strange-looking thing must be very strong; otherwise, it wouldn't have such a purely negative passive.

"Don't hit him," Lord Superman said, "he is immune to basic attacks, use skills directly."

Gray Mist was still asking Greed about his skills, when he saw three flying darts rushing toward him. He hurriedly dodged to the side, but still got hit.

"What's the situation?" Gray Mist said, "He clearly didn't hit me."

"Your model defaults to covering the whole field, which has nothing to do with your current image. Let's try the strike skill first to see how these three stages are fought."

After speaking, Greed played a card. Gray Mist directly turned into a huge fist in mid-air and smashed toward Lord Batman. Lord Batman wanted to dodge, but behind him was the wall. The grids the two were in at that time merged into a combat area, totaling only 200-plus square meters, without much space for dodging.

Fortunately, Lord Superman was quick-eyed and fast-handed, directly clicking on the grid behind, using one action point to unlock the combat area. Lord Batman should have barely avoided it, but Gray Mist accelerated in mid-air, and still hammered him with one fist.

After hitting, he turned the fist into a palm, and slashed down with another palm. This time Lord Batman rolled and dodged, but the third time he directly turned into a sharp thorn, suddenly changing from an extremely conspicuous huge shape into an inconspicuous sharp sword, looking like it was about to shoot toward Lord Batman's chest.

Lord Superman threw out another card: "Absolute Dodge": "Through Batman's invincible roll, try to dodge the next attack; the more action points, the higher the probability of dodging. If successfully dodged, action points +2."

Lord Batman rolled, and that arrow barely flew past his scalp. Gray Mist seemed somewhat shocked; he shouted to Greed in the headset: "He shouldn't have dodged! This is unscientific!"

"Because he is Batman." Greed said, "This is a person who can even dodge Omega beams; do you still want to hit him?"

Just at this moment, Greed discovered that a negative state "Seen Through" was hung on Gray Mist. This was probably another skill of Lord Batman. He clicked on the negative state to look, and discovered it was similar to vulnerability, but it was when receiving physical damage, receiving the same mental damage, and the reverse was also the same.

Greed had already discovered: this game had two health bars, which were the red bar and the blue bar, and it seemed that if either one returned to zero, something big would happen, so not only did he have to protect health, he also had to protect sanity value.

Gray Mist was obviously a style that hit the blue bar, and his skills were basically all blue-draining, while Lord Batman seemed to be mixed damage, which was the most troublesome.

Lord Batman started throwing flying darts again, and because Gray Mist couldn't dodge at all, not only did his health drop rapidly, but his blue bar also started to drop. Greed thought: you better not let me drop to the bottom, otherwise I will really open the Nameless Mist.

Greed still didn't want to expose Gray Mist's true identity. Humans were very wary of Outer Gods; like existence such as Batman, he would absolutely not believe there were good Outer Gods. Although besides Gray Mist, there were indeed no good Outer Gods, Greed didn't want Gray Mist to be ostracized because of this.

Greed directly used Factor Infiltration again; this skill looked like stealing hand cards on the surface, but in reality, it was equivalent to hanging bleeding. Greed didn't need to look to know that Lord Superman must have the most attack cards in his hand. Once this skill was opened, he really stole a card "Batman's Belt": can be switched to various tools, and the damage of continuously using the same type of tool increases by 20%.

It seemed the flying darts were thrown through this skill. And after activating Factor Infiltration, Lord Superman threw another flying dart, only to find that he was losing health, and was somewhat confused.

"Is this rebound damage?" Lord Superman said.

"No," Lord Batman shook his head and said, "didn't you say he stole a card? He might have marked that card. If you use it, I will lose health. Why don't you try other cards?"

Just right, Gray Mist had another three-stage combo. He used a dodge card and found everything was normal; Lord Batman didn't lose health. Lord Superman sighed somewhat helplessly and said: "Why did he have to steal that card."

At this time, Lord Superman's hand cards were all empty. He clicked on the next turn, only to find a countdown, which meant the other party hadn't finished fighting, so he couldn't unilaterally end the turn.

Greed hesitated for a moment, and didn't use the Nameless Mist card either; both sides entered the next turn.

However, after entering the next turn, the red bar, blue bar, and action points were not replenished. This made Lord Superman immediately realize: they couldn't play the stalling tactic. Because Lord Batman's skill set was stronger the more action points there were; although dodging successfully could return points, if it wasn't continued, after the battle ended, they wouldn't have action points, and they would be trapped in place, unable to move at all.

Greed also discovered: this was only the 2nd turn, and a "Cold" state was displayed on the left side of the screen, with a bracket marked behind it, writing "will turn into 'Hypothermia' in two turns". This word didn't sound like a good word; staying in place to fight was completely a lose-lose situation.

It seemed this instance also had an exploration mechanism, and it was relatively encouraging exploration. Greed breathed a sigh of relief; Gray Mist's ignoring attack distance injury was simply too hard to deal with. Lord Batman's three flying darts hit him for half his health, and his mental value had dropped quite a bit.

Greed really couldn't help but ask: Batman making an Outer God lose sanity, is this reasonable? ===== CHAPTER 4263 =====
