Chapter 4287: Heroes Assemble! (Part 26)
He dispersed into gray mist, and the damage he took was actually just that. First, use a normal attack to test, and found that Scarlet Witch's hit range was actually not small—it wasn't that he had to hit her human body, but hitting the richest power layer around her could deduct health. Sure enough, the game made a balance in this regard; characters that are too strong must have weaknesses.
And at this time, Jarvis said to Wanda in her mind: "Actually, our best opponent candidate is Batman, because then my skills would be useful, I could hack his equipment, and the win rate should be relatively high. In this situation, my skills are completely unusable, and I can only rely on you."
"It's okay, the Doctor's skills are also unusable," Wanda comforted him and said, "Now it's equivalent to one-on-one, we still have a chance of winning. It's a pity we haven't come into contact with gray mist much, otherwise we could have more information."
Just as Wanda said, now it's actually a duel between Scarlet Witch and Gray Mist. Not only is Greed's skill unusable because he can't read the bar, but Jarvis's set of electronic intrusion skills is also unusable; the two sides instead reached a new balance.
If you have to say it, Wanda's fighting experience is much richer than Gray Mist's. However, precisely because she is experienced, she has a kind of fixed thinking, starting with that set of skills.
After opening the group attack skill, Wanda directly leaned forward, and the fist with Scarlet Power directly smashed toward the Gray Mist. Gray Mist was a bit confused, took a punch, lost a chunk of health, and then remembered to dodge.
"Oh, my God," Gray Mist said as if he had just woken up, scrambling to open skills. First a set of three consecutive hits, but only the last hit landed on Wanda, not losing much health, and then he remembered to open factor infiltration, locking Wanda's dash skill.
But Wanda reacted very quickly, and after discovering that she lost health when using this skill, she immediately understood that this should be Gray Mist's skill effect, so she simply gave up dashing and switched to long-range attacks.
"Her skill set is too comprehensive," Gray Mist said, "there's displacement, single-target, group attack, and long-range. How can I fight this?"
"You have a lot of health, stall for a while, wait for the big move," Greed said; don't look at this as if there's no move, but in fact, it's also a kind of tactic.
Greed had calculated in his heart that when they were exploring before, they turned over a pile of props that increased health, and Gray Mist's health should be the highest among all participating contestants—higher than Superman, who looked very strong, and possibly twice that of those little fragile ones; it would take a while to beat him like a sandbag.
Greed had long discovered that in this game, stacking any attribute is not as good as stacking health. Because skills have cooldowns, having more health means being able to take more beatings, which means being able to wait for more skill cooldowns to end. And Gray Mist's big move damage happens to be very high, so he can completely play the blood cow big move flow.
Although it looks quite cowardly, being beaten and unable to fight back, only able to hold back the big move. But as long as he can win, it's fine, why care so much.
He had completely forgotten that bringing Gray Mist to participate in the competition was to exercise his tactical thinking, but as a result, playing and playing, it turned into scraping again.
Gray Mist's mentality was as good as ever, Greed said what to do, he did what to do. Scarlet Witch chased him and beat him, he wasn't angry either, just staring at the cooldown of the big move.
As soon as the big move cooldown was ready, he directly opened a "Nameless Mist" descent. Wanda was hit hard, directly fell from mid-air, and fell to the ground with a slap.
Deducting the blue bar is secondary; the key is that this mental pollution is really hard to withstand. The vision in front of her instantly became a snowy screen, and there were all kinds of weird sounds in her ears, which instantly hooked Wanda's PTSD of "Old Days Return" back then.
However, this time it wasn't just her who was unlucky, and I don't know how, but the wall of the duel arena didn't prevent the mental pollution, and suddenly the audience erupted into a scream.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"What the hell?!!"
"Damn?!!"
People in the audience fell down like cutting wheat. The Beyonder was shocked, quickly reinforced the wall, but the mental pollution effect that had already been caused would not disappear so easily, and he quickly tried to find a way to return san to everyone.
When the audience woke up, the better ones were dizzy, and the bad ones were already holding chairs and vomiting—the snacks they had just stuffed in were all vomited out. The audience was full of gloom.
Some people had already started cursing, but mainly not cursing Gray Mist, but cursing the organizer: it was fine that the previous skill couldn't adapt to the black screen, after all, it didn't hit us. You actually said your broken barrier could only block physical attacks? You might as well blow up the duel arena and send us back directly!
The taste of being mentally polluted by an Outer God was very bad, even if it was Batman, whose willpower was quite strong, his face didn't look very good. Although he could ignore those pictures and noises, Outer Gods of Gray Mist's level all forcibly deducted sanity, would affect brain operation physically, and would cause all abstract thinking to be forcibly shut down; willpower alone was useless.
More importantly, the brain is a precision component, and a part of it being forcibly shut down will cause a certain imbalance. After brain waves are disturbed, it will also affect the cerebellum, bringing a feeling similar to motion sickness, which will lead to symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting.
The audience now had one thought: no wonder they fought for so long and the duel arena hadn't been blown up; it turned out Schiller changed his style, not blowing up the organizer but coming to blow us up, right?
Soon the ambulance came, and several physically fragile ones were directly carried away. Those who stayed in the arena were those who couldn't bear the sunk cost; after all, they had already taken such a hit, wouldn't it be a pity not to see the end?
Scarlet Witch also climbed up strongly. She also wanted to vomit a bit, but still held it back. Looking at her blue bar again, she felt even more desperate: how could it deduct so much all of a sudden?!
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Now she also understood Gray Mist's tactical thinking, but unfortunately, there was no good way to deal with it. What's more terrifying is that the effect of this method might be better than Greed expected.
In Battleworld, pain is weakened, probably only one-third of the original, which is to say, being punched normally won't be very painful. Mental aspects are the same; if you suffer a brain wave attack, at most it's just a headache, and you will recover quickly.
So what is most feared is actually some soft attacks, such as not hitting you with a fist, but letting you bleed—being cut by a mouth is indeed not very painful, but the dizziness and weakness brought by blood loss are more uncomfortable, because this is not within the reduction range.
Mental attacks are the same. Gray Mist's kind of mental attack doesn't belong to direct brain wave attack, but disturbing your thinking, leading to a series of discomfort reactions brought by brain disorder, which is more uncomfortable than making people have a headache directly.
Wanda flew for a long time before finally recovering a bit. When people are uncomfortable, their judgment of time is inaccurate; she thought only one second had passed, but when she came back to her senses, the bad status on her head had already stacked five layers.
That's right, Greed turned back into human form again, seized the opportunity when Wanda was uncomfortable, and started reading the bar. And when Wanda attacked him, he turned into gray mist and ran again.
Thus, this became a vicious cycle: Wanda was topped with a mental abnormality status, her hit rate dropped very severely, Gray Mist didn't lose much health, and after fighting for a long time, she still had half a bar of health left, and the big move skill cooldown was ready again.
And after releasing a big move again, Wanda was nauseous and dizzy, so she was hung with more bad statuses, leading to her hit rate dropping even more severely. Even if Greed didn't use settlement skills, she couldn't hit Gray Mist.
Wanda took a deep breath and looked at her status bar—her health was still relatively healthy, but her mental value was almost bottomed out. However, there was another count value on her panel, which was full at this moment.
At this time, Greed wanted to turn into human form to read the bar again. Wanda took off, and Scarlet Power erupted instantly.
"I will not be affected by any abnormal status!" She shouted.
In an instant, all the abnormal statuses on top of her head were cleared, and the skill that Greed had just finished reading couldn't hang any abnormal status at all.
"Damn!" Gray Mist exclaimed, "How could I forget she had this move?!"
At this time, the big move finally turned well, Gray Mist quickly opened the big move, the blue bar was deducted, but Scarlet Witch was completely unaffected by mental pollution, flew up and threw a punch. Gray Mist fled in a mess.
"What to do, what to do, what to do?"
"I have no moves," Greed spread his hands and said, "you're on your own."
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Gray Mist was chased and beaten. His health was indeed not small, but he couldn't withstand such consumption, and without the mental abnormality status, Wanda was hitting every punch, and soon she wore him down to just a skin of blood.
Fortunately, Wanda's blue bar didn't have much left either. Gray Mist had a sudden inspiration, and his brain finally started to turn. He thought, another big move should be able to solve it, but the problem now is that his health might not be able to hold on until the next big move is ready.
But soon Gray Mist thought that the "factor infiltration" skill he used before had actually been in effect, and because Wanda chased and beat him, she used a lot of displacement skills, so her health might not be much either.
Then actually now he uses physical skill attacks, it might be faster than waiting for the big move to turn well, and the other side thinks she has figured out his routine, only will guard against his big move, and ignore the decrease in health.
Moreover, Gray Mist only used one physical skill from beginning to end, and didn't completely hit the other side, so the other side actually had no understanding of the strength of his physical skills. If the other side's health was not much, perhaps a three-hit combo could directly take the other side away.
Thinking of this, Gray Mist started to observe Wanda's movement. Because the three-hit combo is the more hits, the higher the damage, to kill in one set, all must hit; but if one is missing, the one who dies is himself.
At this time, Gray Mist's advantage came—he was spread out in the duel arena, and could launch an attack from any angle and direction, and the other side was almost defenseless.
Seizing a gap when Wanda rushed over, the fist turned into by Gray Mist attacked from her upper side. Jarvis quickly shouted: "Be careful!!!"
But it was already too late, Wanda was hit by a punch when she looked up. The damage of this punch made her heart jump, she hurriedly used the displacement skill to retreat, but found that her displacement was losing health, and the health that she thought was still healthy was now only a thread left.
This fact made her stunned for a moment, so Gray Mist's second hit also landed. Wanda subconsciously wanted to run, Jarvis quickly stopped her—if she used another displacement skill, she would directly bleed to death, but if she didn't run, she couldn't dodge the last hit.
Wanda gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, simply not running, and rushed straight toward Gray Mist. One gray and one red, two colors collided fiercely in the duel arena. Finally, only a white light lit up.
After a while, the Beyonder's voice sounded: "Let us congratulate the winner of this match—Schiller and Gray Mist!!!"
