1533 It's Going To Be Hard
I shouted in triumph! After a long time of testing, after many repeated failures, at last I managed to find the right formula, the right way to do it!
In front of my eyes, and all over the world down there, all the lights faded and dimmed, all but the ones coming from these bombs.
And they didn’t just come from the ones buried underground, but also from the ones that were on the surface as well. I could clearly see all of them, every single bomb of the ones I got out there.
I laughed, laughed from the bottom of my heart. This might look like a trivial breakthrough, but it meant a lot to me.
It meant a lot in the entire course of this war! Like this, I could finally enter this war without any issues or worries at all.
The most terrifying thing I feared, the most important chip in the enemy’s hands… It got simply negated, simply deleted, just like that.
All I needed to do was to infiltrate the deep enemy lines, go where the enemy homelands lied, and start using this method.
I could easily pinpoint the places of any bomb in a zone of thousands of miles. No matter where these bombs lay, be it tens of thousands of metres underground, be in the deep layers of oceans and seas… Not a single bomb would get away from my clutches, not a single one, hahahaha!
This… It was my indisputable win!
As I finally solved such a problem, I kept playing a little, testing how I’d see these bombs from far away.
So I exited my mirror world, started to travel thousands of miles away. Every now and then, I’d stop, enter my mirror world, and start to test things out.
I could always see the shimmering like bright stars in the middle of the dark night even from this far. I didn’t even need to use my HawkEye skill to see up to five thousand miles far from the places of the bombs.
And then I started to find it hard to spot them.
“My Hawk Eye skill… Yes, it can help to increase the reach of my method…”
I didn’t hesitate and activated my eye skill. As I guessed, the moment it got activated, the hard to spot stars from far got much clearer. It looked as if a thick grey cloud just hovered over the sky, blocking the light of the far away stars. And then by using the skill, this cloud got pushed away.
I didn’t stop there. I kept travelling, crossing hundreds of miles, testing everything every one hundred miles.
“So… This skill adds one thousand miles of distance for me… It’s not that bad…” I finally started to find it hard to notice the far away bombs after crossing one thousand extra miles.
That meant that by using my skill, I could scan the world in front of my eyes for a six thousand mile radius.
It was something great indeed. And I kept doing and pushing my method to the limit thanks to a single purpose.
I knew right now I got all the time in the world to do whatever I wanted. But in the middle of a hectic and brutal, bloody battle, doing this would be risky.
I wouldn’t get many chances to do it, and the moment I’d try it out, I was sure the enemy wouldn’t give me just the time needed to check everything slowly.
So I got to increase the coverage of this skill no matter what. And six thousand miles might look like some big distance, but in fact it wasn’t!
Considering the colossal sizes of any world before the merge, I knew this was just like one hundredth of the entire world’s area, or worse than that.
So that meant I got to try this method at least one hundred times in the middle of all the fighting I was going to have.

However… I got to do it. And once I finished testing and playing, I returned back to the central area of ground zero, started to think about the best strategy to attack the enemy later on.
The enemy already saw most of my tricks. They weren’t stupid, and as I took advantage of this few days’ time to prepare for the bomb threat, they were also going to prepare for me.
I experienced how they analysed my way to penetrate through the portals and antagonised this using shields. I also saw them bring forth scary troops to defend against my technique, my explosive bones, and even my soulers and elite and top forces.
That was enough to let me think they were going to prepare some kind of hard to crack and fight against countermeasures for all of my strong points.
“I have to deal with it like they have a way to stop all of my killing moves, even the cube…” when I thought like this, I got how it was going to be hard to fight against them.
“Wait a minute… Who said I have to kill them all?” and for a moment there, I totally froze in my place. My eyes shone brightly when I realised how deeply wrong my thoughts and plans drifted away from the real target I should have focused on.
“I have to infiltrate them, not take all the trouble to fight and kill them… And that changes everything!”
I knew the task of me here changed from having to fight and kill, to just defend and keep myself alive while pushing deep inside their ranks.
When I thought about this, when I saw things under new lights, everything changed!
Instead of focusing on how to use my cards and shuffle them to invent a new offensive tactic, I got to think about how to defend and keep alive.
“I got my chariot’s shield, my pillar’s shields, and these two are enough to keep myself alive in front of any enemy…”
