Chapter 439: Chapter 236 Illusion Creation! (Two in one) _2 Therefore, when they entered the instance, they directly chose the rule to restrict Teleportation. At this point, Chen Mo could also choose an intrusion rule, or decline to choose. Alina looked at Chen Mo and said, "They’ve restricted the Teleport ability, what should we do? It seems like none of the rules are in our favor." Looking at the ten selectable rules, Chen Mo’s gaze fell upon the "real-time coordinate sharing" option. Alina was certain this rule wouldn’t benefit them in any way. After all, we’re at a disadvantage. Revealing our location would be asking for death, wouldn’t it? But in Chen Mo’s view, this was a good rule. This way, I can see their position in real time, Chen Mo thought. We’re bound to meet sooner or later, so it’s better to seize the initiative. If I have Alina stay put while I go on the offensive, it would better ensure her safety. Otherwise, if we encounter them unexpectedly, Alina might be killed. Being killed and resurrected is one thing, but if they obliterate her, leaving no corpse, then resurrection would be impossible. With this in mind, Chen Mo decided to choose coordinate sharing. "Let’s go with the seventh rule." Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Alina glanced at the seventh rule and was immediately dumbfounded. "Chen, you can’t be serious! The seventh rule is coordinate sharing. Isn’t picking this rule playing right into their hands? We could have tried to avoid them and complete the instance mission. If we choose coordinate sharing, they’ll definitely come straight for us!" "I want to choose this because I intend to take the offensive," Chen Mo explained. "It’ll be hard to avoid them if we want to complete this instance’s mission anyway. We’re the Rebel Army. According to the intrusion rules for this type of instance, the opposing side usually appears as a faction hostile to us, right? That means they’re the Imperial Army! If they make moves as part of the Imperial Army and we don’t act, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to complete our primary mission." Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Alina stared at him, dumbfounded, wondering if she had misheard. "Chen, they have a hundred-man legion, each member reinforced to their very core! And you’re saying you’ve decided to attack them proactively?" Alina found Chen Mo’s words utterly unbelievable. "Don’t worry," Chen Mo said, waving his hand casually. "I have more." In an instant, millions of Skeleton Monsters materialized around him. Since they were in a party, Alina could immediately see these Skeleton Monsters. She also saw the displayed count. The number displayed had seven digits. Seeing this number, she couldn’t help but gasp, covering her cherry-red lips. "O-Over a million Skeleton Monsters?" Before she could recover from her shock, Chen Mo continued summoning. Alina then watched as the number of Skeleton Monsters fluctuated, sometimes increasing, sometimes decreasing. At its lowest, the count dropped to tens of thousands, or at most a few hundred thousand. At its peak, more than two million appeared. Chen Mo was now Level 35, so the number of Skeleton Monsters he could summon had also increased. He could now summon a maximum of 3,500,000 Skeleton Monsters. However, reaching this cap was difficult. Chen Mo wasn’t aiming for the absolute maximum, so he stopped after summoning three million Skeleton Monsters. Alina’s jaw nearly dropped as she looked at the party list, which displayed the number of Chen Mo’s summons. "Three million!?" She stared in disbelief at the Skeleton Monsters around Chen Mo, layered invisibly, one atop another. But the sheer number of Skeleton Monsters wasn’t the most shocking part. After seeing the number of Skeleton Monsters, she checked their attributes. It was only then that she froze, as if struck by lightning. After a moment, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief and rechecked the attributes of Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters. "Chen, what in the world are these Skeleton Monsters of yours? F-Four... over four million HP! Over five million attack power! Tell me I’m not dreaming." She had thought the curse demonization effect on those intruders from the Yongming Star System was already outrageously powerful. But Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters were countless times more terrifying! Alina felt her worldview shattering. She had always considered herself strong, far stronger than the average person. She had always taken great pride in her abilities. Until she set foot in this instance. Her worldview had been completely overturned. It felt as though, aside from her, everyone else in this instance was a monster! And each one more monstrous than the last. That hundred-man legion had true damage, hundreds of thousands in attack power, powerful Demonization Skills, and an Immortal Ability! And then there was Chen Mo, with millions of Skeleton Monsters, millions in attack power, plus self-destruction and Revival—their level of monstrousness was simply off the charts, even more so! If she knew that Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters had currently only benefited from the Rallying trait’s bonus, and not yet from Undying Worship or the Amplification Divine Ring, she would likely be even more thunderstruck. "So, you see?" Chen Mo said. "With my Skeleton Monsters and your replication Skill, even with their outrageous curse demonization enhancement, we have nothing to fear, do we?" "But the units created by my replication Skill only last for a short time," Alina countered. "You want me to hide while you face them alone? The copies summoned by my Skill would never reach them with you." "Don’t worry. Just use your Skill now. I have my ways for the rest." Although Alina didn’t fully grasp Chen Mo’s plan, seeing his power firsthand—a power that far exceeded the limits of her imagination—she naturally complied with his instructions without question. She had known Chen Mo was strong, and crucially, that he was the only person in the world capable of lifting a resurrection prohibition. That was why she had initially been drawn to him. But now she realized that her previous assessment of his strength had been a gross understatement. This man wasn’t just ’strong’; he was heaven-defying! A first-transition being? Even a fourth-transition cultivator would likely feel inadequate before him! Perhaps only a fifth-transition expert could contend with him! A first-transition comparable to a fifth-transition? Surpassing the fourth-transition? What kind of heaven-defying existence was this! Alina’s entire worldview had been shattered and rebuilt. Now, she was even more inclined to follow Chen Mo’s every command. Chen Mo had long been interested in one of Alina’s key Skills—[Illusion Creation]. [Illusion Creation]: Cast on all friendly targets within a (User’s Level * User’s Class Star Level * 100 meters) range. Replicates mirror units with attack attributes identical to the targets’ current stats. Lasts 60 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds. [Note]: Mirror units possess the same appearance and attack methods as the original. They only replicate the original unit’s attack attribute value, attack frequency, attack type, and elemental attributes. They cannot be affected by any buffs or debuffs. They dissipate immediately upon taking any damage. Although the mirror units created by this Skill were incredibly fragile, likely to be wiped out by a single area-of-effect attack, Chen Mo still found it exceptionally appealing, as the Skill was a perfect match for his Undead Sea. He originally had three million Skeleton Monsters; this Skill could effectively double that to six million. The damage output could instantly double! How exhilarating! As Alina raised her Magic Wand and activated the [Illusion Creation] Skill, the surrounding area instantly grew dim. Dark Energy began to coalesce around her. Suddenly, Runes and strange geometric patterns emerged from the ground, emitting a soft glow. After tracing a specific path, they formed an Array of Darkness. Once formed, the Array immediately began to radiate a mysterious power. All friendly targets within its range started to emit a similar soft glow, and a translucent, blurry image appeared behind each of them. Now, Alina only needed to confirm for the mirror units to be summoned. With a mental command from Alina, the blurry images behind Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters instantly solidified into identical mirror units. After these mirror units appeared, they all stood motionless, awaiting their master’s command. Just then, Chen Mo received a notification from The Heavenly Path: the Divine Replication Seal had recorded this Skill.
