With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 459: Clear division of labor, each person performing their duties.

He looked towards the mountain to the north.

"We'll decide whether to hunt down Lin Tian or the others once the overlap period ends."

Yamamoto Tatsuno scratched his head: "President, what if that Lin Tian is ridiculously strong? What will happen to our plan...?"

Sato glanced at him.

"If he's really ridiculously strong," he said, "then we'll find another target."

Chishima Rin was taken aback: "Who should we replace them with?"

Sato gave a cold laugh.

"Marcus DuPont. That self-important American."

He picked up the dagger, its blade reflecting a cold, gleaming light in the firelight.

"No matter who it is, anyone who blocks my way must die."

Kobayashi Hikaru pushed up his glasses, his smile deepening.

Chishima Rin sheathed her dagger, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Hattori Hanji remained huddled in the shadows, saying nothing.

Yamamoto Tatsuno took a big gulp of sake and, mustering his courage, asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Sato sheathed his sword.

"Rest. Tomorrow morning, go and hunt those high-level monsters in the north."

He closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

The campfire continued to flicker, casting long shadows of the group.

In the distance, the faint roars of wild monsters could be heard carried on the night wind.

There are 21 hours left until the first overlap period.

......

In the western border, on a high ground.

Under the moonlight, several figures stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the vast wilderness below.

Marcus DuPont, with his bear-like physique, stood at the front, arms crossed over his chest, his blue eyes gleaming with contemplation.

The night breeze ruffled his neatly trimmed brown hair, revealing his strong features and a neatly trimmed beard.

Catherine Morgan stood to his right, her fiery red, tight-fitting leather armor gleaming dark red in the moonlight.

She toyed with the long whip in her hand, her long red hair blowing in the wind, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips.

Vincent Vanderbilt leaned against a dead tree, looking as if he might disappear into the darkness behind him at any moment.

He was dressed in light, dark gray armor, with a thin face and sharp eyes. He was looking down at a scroll of intelligence in his hand.

Jack Carnegie stood to Marcus's left, his sturdy frame like a wall.

He wore heavy plate armor, had a buzz cut, and a round face, looking honest and simple, but the occasional glint of shrewdness in his eyes suggested that he was no ordinary character.

Isabella Ford sat on a rock not far away, her ice-blue mage robes swaying gently in the night breeze.

Her long silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face was aloof, and a miniature ice magic circle floated in front of her, which she was fiddling with intermittently.

Roderick Stanford crouched on the edge of the cliff, dressed as a hunter, with a longbow slung over his back.

He wasn't tall, but his eyes were sharp as an eagle's. He was staring in a certain direction in the distance, as if observing something.

The silence lasted for a moment.

Vincent emerged from the shadows and handed the intelligence scroll in his hand to Marcus.

"Breaking news. Sato's group is also in the Western Territory now."

Marcus took the scroll, glanced at it quickly, and then his eyes lit up.

"Oh? The exact location?"

Vincent pointed to the markings on the scroll: "Northeast, about forty kilometers away, in a secluded valley. The Dark Raven Group and the Raging Tide Guild are there, about two hundred people."

Catherine leaned over for a look and gave a cold laugh.

"Two hundred people? They think they can cause trouble for Lin Tian with just that many?"

Marcus shook his head, a calculating glint in his blue eyes.

"No, you're wrong. They're not trying to win by sheer numbers. I've studied Sato."

He paused, then tapped his finger on the reel.

"He is the holder of the SS-rank talent [Shadow Dance - Dual Wielding], which grants him extremely high burst damage in melee combat. His strategy is probably to find an opportunity to get close and then deliver a fatal blow."

Jack scratched his head: "But Lin Tian is a mage. Would a mage allow melee fighters to get close?"

Marcus glanced at him.

"That's why he needs a plan. He needs someone to draw fire, wear down Lin Tian's skills, and create opportunities for him to get close."

Catherine looked thoughtful: "You mean, he plans to use his men as cannon fodder?"

Marcus nodded.

"Yes. That Yamamoto Tatsuno, with the S-rank talent [Unparalleled Strength], is a tank type. That Chishima Rin, with the A-rank talent [Poison Blade], is for ranged harassment. And that Hattori Hanji, with the A-rank [Aura Concealment], is for stealthy assassination. Plus that Kobayashi Hikaru, with the S-rank [Deceptive Thinking], is in charge of planning."

He gave a cold laugh.

"The division of labor is clear, and everyone performs their duties. If Lin Tianzhen were just an ordinary mage, they might actually have succeeded."

Isabella looked up at him.

"Unfortunately, Lin Tian is no ordinary mage."

Marcus laughed heartily.

"Yes! He's no ordinary mage! So that idiot Sato's plan is doomed to fail!"

He turned around and looked at the crowd, his blue eyes burning with ambition.

"Vincent, can your intelligence track Lin Tian and Sato's locations in real time?"

Vincent pointed.

"Sure. I've arranged for people to keep an eye on Sato. Although it's difficult to directly track Lin Tian, ​​my people will spot him immediately if he appears at the border."

Marcus nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Roderick.

"Roderick, your [Tracking Lock] will be very useful later. Once we find Lin Tian, ​​mark him immediately. No matter where he goes, we can find him."

Roderick nodded: "Understood, boss."

Marcus then looked at Jack.

"Jack, your [Earth Barrier] will be at the forefront. There might be chaos in the aftermath when we're cleaning up, so you need to ensure everyone's safety."

Jack nodded honestly, "Don't worry, boss, I'm tough, I can take it."

Marcus finally looked at Catherine and Isabella.

"And Catherine."

They both nodded at the same time.

Catherine stood up and flicked her long whip in her hand.

"I can't wait any longer. Kill Lin Tian, ​​kill Sato, and the entire newbie continent will know the name of our 'Imperial Barrier'."

Jack smiled憨厚ly, but his eyes also sparkled with excitement.

Isabella stood up and deactivated the ice magic circle.

"So what do we do now?"

Marcus looked into the distance.

"Now? Development. The overlap period won't start for another 24 hours, which is enough time for us to rack up a lot of points."

He paused, then added.

"Furthermore, we need to act like we know nothing. Just keep grinding and leveling up."

Vincent pointed.

"Understood. I will instruct my men to keep a low profile."

Marcus nodded in satisfaction.

"Then it's settled."

He turned and looked at the dark wasteland in the distance.

In the distance, the outline of a massive mountain range can be vaguely seen, its peak shrouded in clouds and mist.
