Chapter 687 - 379: Su Ze’s Counter-attack (2)

"But while they may be aggressive, they aren’t stupid. They won’t go out of their way to provoke beings they can’t afford to offend. So, when faced with a stronger race, they’ll always back down."

"So they just bully the weak and fear the strong," Su Ze concluded.

"Uh... you’re not wrong to put it that way. However, their race is genuinely impulsive and quick to anger. Occasionally, they act rashly and offend a Strong Race. Some have even clashed with Dominator Races. A significant number of the Dou Race die every year due to their recklessness.

"Also, their Racial Talent is ’Rage.’ The angrier they get, the stronger they become in a fight. A calm Dou Race member is even weaker than someone from the Bag Race."

’Why don’t you use your Nian Race for comparison...’ Su Ze thought, holding his tongue. "Anything else?" he asked.

The Pope thought for a moment before adding, "The Dou Race used to have four Ancestral Gods. We’ve confirmed their Clan Leader was killed in battle, but other Ancestral Gods survived. This means they have at most three Ancestral Gods left. We can be fairly certain that the group of Dou Race active near Thousand Illusion Star won’t include any of their Ancestral Gods.

"The area around Thousand Illusion Star is Illusion Race territory. As a first-rate Strong Race, the Illusion Race would never be trifled with, so the remaining Dou Race Ancestral Gods wouldn’t dare come here. If they did set foot in Illusion Race territory, the Illusion Race would definitely assemble multiple Ancestral Gods to hunt them down and destroy them.

"However, we can’t rule out the possibility of a Sun God among this group. So, Master, before you make a move, you must gauge their true strength and make sure there are no Sun Gods among them."

Su Ze nodded, then asked, "This band of Dou Race is pillaging all over Illusion Race territory, and the Illusion Race doesn’t do anything about it?"

"The Bag Race was robbing people all over the place before, and the Illusion Race never got involved with them either. That’s mainly because they don’t provoke powerful entities, and they certainly don’t cause trouble for the Illusion Race themselves. Naturally, the Illusion Race can’t be bothered to waste energy dealing with them.

"But this group of Dou Race is different. They’re stronger and more dangerous than the Bag Race, and the negative impact they cause is much greater. If this continues, it could start affecting business on Thousand Illusion Star. When that happens, the Illusion Race will certainly step in," the Pope analyzed.

"Is it possible to use the Illusion Race to get rid of them?"

The Pope considered this for a moment. "These Dou Race remnants are pillaging the surrounding area, so they must have a base of operations. If you can find the planet they’re using as a hideout, Master, and report the coordinates to the officials on Thousand Illusion Star, the Illusion Race might just decide to act sooner."

Su Ze mentally filed this away.

Originally, he had wanted to let Zexing develop peacefully for a few years, slowly building its strength.

But the arrival of the Dou Race had clearly disrupted Zexing’s normal development.

This was a destabilizing element that he needed to eliminate as soon as possible. Besides, once he implemented his "Starry Sky Justice Team" plan, a confrontation with the Dou Race was inevitable.

For now, though, his priority was to determine the strength of the Dou Race group that had been chasing the Nebula. If he could take them on, Su Ze wouldn’t mind eliminating them first.

The Magic Cube stealthily approached the distant Dou Race Moon God-level Spaceship. Its detection system picked up more than twenty Dou Race members searching on the two Desolate Stars below.

Among them were three Moon Gods; the rest were Star Gods. So far, there was no sign of any Sun Gods.

However, it was possible for a Sun God with special concealment techniques to evade the Magic Cube’s detection system. Furthermore, the Magic Cube couldn’t determine if any other experts were hidden inside the Moon God-level Spaceship.

The safest option, of course, was to retreat and reconsider his long-term strategy.

But Su Ze wasn’t willing to just leave. He had to at least recoup his losses or get some payback.

’I was already able to punch above my weight and defeat a Bag Race Moon God before. My strength has grown significantly since then. One-on-one, I could definitely kill a Dou Race Moon God, but taking on three at once is still risky.

’It would be best to pick them off one by one!’

With a plan forming in his mind, Su Ze quietly left the spaceship and descended toward one of the Desolate Stars.

Of the two Desolate Stars the Dou Race were searching, one had two Moon Gods on it. The one Su Ze was descending to had only a single Moon God.

However, this planet also had quite a few Dou Race Star Gods—fifteen or sixteen of them, in fact. The majority of the Star Gods on the scene were on this planet with him.

Su Ze’s plan was to first ambush and kill this lone Moon God. Then, he would retreat before the two Moon Gods from the other Desolate Star could arrive as backup. After that, depending on the situation, he would see if he could make a move on the other two.

Aside from his own increase in strength, Su Ze now had a major asset he didn’t have before: Mr. Ya!

Mr. Ya’s breakthrough to the Star God level was more helpful to him than any other Star God could be. After all, he was the ultimate support.

With Mr. Ya backing him up, he felt that assassinating the Dou Race Moon God was practically a sure thing.

"Don’t be too quick to use your ’Void’ skill," Su Ze cautioned.

If the opportunity arose, he wanted to annihilate the entire group, leaving no one alive. He would save the ’Void’ skill; he might need it to deal with the other two later.

"Got it." Mr. Ya understood immediately, grasping Su Ze’s intentions.

"Here, take these." Su Ze handed Mr. Ya a seventh-rank hidden weapon and a seventh-rank Disguise Divine Artifact. "This is standard issue for the Starry Sky Justice Team. Everyone gets one of each."

The Magic Cube silently maneuvered into position near the Dou Race Moon God.

Neither Su Ze nor Mr. Ya disembarked immediately. Instead, Su Ze first sent out the Shadowless Needle.

The Shadowless Needle materialized silently above the Dou Race Moon God’s head. The target remained completely oblivious, still preoccupied with probing underground with his Spiritual Power.

Just then, the Shadowless Needle launched its attack. All 299 needles sank in, right to their bases.
