A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 288 - 230 Trap_2

Chapter 288: Chapter 230 Trap_2

Rats are animals filled with greed, and the Giant Horned Rat was no exception. When it saw the Black Flame deployed by Duanmu Huai, teeming with the Power of Destruction, the Giant Horned Rat immediately wanted to claim it as its own.

After all, the goal of the Giant Horned Rat was to bring about utter destruction in this world. So, was there anything more enticing than this Black Flame, filled with the Power of Destruction?

At that moment, the Giant Horned Rat quickly ordered its minions.

“Kill that man!!”

Yes, the Giant Horned Rat’s idea was to deplete Duanmu Huai’s strength as much as possible, and then, once he was weak, it would seize his soul and the Black Flame.

Under the Giant Horned Rat’s command, countless rats and Ratmen surged forward once again, pounding towards Duanmu Huai. However, their actions were nothing more than moths flinging themselves into the fire. Rat after rat plunged into the fierce Black Flame, but the flame didn’t weaken at all. Instead, it spread out slowly yet unswervingly, gradually devouring the entire Ruin Nation.

...

“Damn it, what on earth is happening?”

Watching the scene unfold before its eyes, the Giant Horned Rat began to feel somewhat agitated. Of course, it wanted to acquire this Black Flame filled with destructive power and was even willing to sacrifice its own followers and Divine Realm for it. However, up until now, the flame showed no signs of weakening but instead grew even more intense!

“What on earth is going on? This is my Divine Realm, doesn’t that guy need to consume his own power to maintain the flame?”

“But if things continue like this, it won’t end well.”

The Giant Horned Rat was originally a God who came into existence through the faith of rats. Its power was not very strong, and so its Divine Realm was not very large. If it could gain this flame by sacrificing its Divine Realm and followers, it will be a very advantageous trade for the Giant Horned Rat.

“But what if… I end up achieving nothing in the end?”

At this moment, the Giant Horned Rat had to consider this possibility.

On careful thought, the other party had purposely entered its Divine Realm, obviously prepared. Meaning, he might understand the power of the Black Flame very well. If the Black Flame truly did not extinguish due to consumption, then its actions could only have a counterproductive effect!

“But what am I supposed to do now?”

After considering this possibility, the Giant Horned Rat immediately became restless. For the Giant Horned Rat, the best course of action was to abandon its Divine Realm and find a place to start over. For rats, this wasn’t impossible because when a rat encounters danger, it will abandon its nest and seek a new one.

But the problem was, the Giant Horned Rat was not a popular Deity. It was sure that once it left its nest, Gods who wanted to kill it would form a queue; it might even end up in a brawl about who gets to kill it first… Well, if that were the case, it wouldn’t be too bad.

“But… What about this guy?”

The Giant Horned Rat looked at its foreclaw. Although the prior attack did not cause fatal damage, it had scorched its claw black and even inflicted excruciating pain.

“This flame is problematic!”

Indeed, the Giant Horned Rat was retreating because the flame was extremely terrifying and could even harm it, a Deity. This was only its foreclaw, one could imagine, if the flame caused a fatal injury… It might truly die.

“So, should I take the risk or flee?”

Staring at the black flames endlessly spreading before its eyes, the Giant Horned Rat’s eyes were constantly changing. Being an entity formed from the faith of rats, the Giant Horned Rat, at its core, also has the nature of a rat – cowardice and greed.

The fact is, whether it is a few hundred years, a few thousand years, or tens of thousands of years, the human means of dealing with rats has always remained the same.

Set a mousetrap and wait for the rat to take the bait.

Because it is in a rat’s nature, it cannot change.

Greedy by nature, timid as a rat.

For the Giant Horned Rat at hand, the engulfing Black Flame was the mousetrap, and Duanmu Huai in its midst was the tempting bait. It wanted to devour the plump bait, gain his power, but at the same time, the Giant Horned Rat was fearful of the Black Flame around it. It was like a rat lingering in front of a mousetrap, undecided between swallowing the bait and fleeing.

“So, what will you choose?”

Duanmu Huai, gripping the War Hammer, standing on the ground, stared at the sky before him. In reality, quite often, players tend to overcomplicate their adversaries. If you follow their thought process, then you’re attacking their strengths with your weaknesses. Naturally, you’ll find that the adversary is hard to deal with and terrifying.

But knowing their true nature can simplify things a lot.

The Chaos Evil God aside, for the Deities of Order, nature – is very important. In fact, to the Deities of Order, nature is the core of their deityhood.

For example, Duanmu Huai, he was now the God of Destruction, his core nature being “mercilessly wipe out all threats to humans”. Therefore, Duanmu Huai and his followers must always act according to this belief. If Duanmu Huai chose to spare a certain existence threatening humans, or chose to escape or even surrender in the face of the enemy, then according to the rules of fantasy novels, it would be like his faith collapsing, resulting in his death.
