Traitor-Coward Kaza!
"Guards! Bring me the Traitor-Coward Kaza!"
"I've had this guy captured for so long, it's finally time for him to be of some use."
Mier revealed a sinister smile.
The red moss on his head began to tremble slightly, indicating that his brain was working at high speed.
The special person he mentioned was none other than "Challengers" Kaza, whom he had captured in the Tree Spirit Abyss using the Vine Extraction System of the Ancient Tree Spacefaring Warship.
When Challengers civilization does not have enough Star Yuan to cope with the penalties of the Instance, Star Yuan deficit will occur.
In this situation, the technology and military weapons of the losing side are extremely easy to capture and plunder.
These are the basic rules set by the Divine Firmament design.
However, the Green Vine Civilization's methods of plundering differed from those of other civilizations.
Besides plundering technology and techniques, the Green Vine Civilization, due to the characteristics of Plant Technology, focuses more on capturing individual Challengers in Instance and Species Conversion.
This is essentially the same principle as when Lin Ye captured the Leviathan Giant Insect of the Kazi Civilization in the Earth Online Instance.
Challengers captured by the ancient tree will be assimilated by Green Vine Technology, becoming a special race that is Half-Human, Half-Tree.
It will then become the private property of the Dungeon Designer as a weapon.
The actual Designer of the Tree Spirit Abyss Instance was Prime Minister Mier, because he also captured Kaza's weapons.
There is a boundary between the Instance and reality; those who die in the Instance cannot be resurrected in reality.
However, as a "weapon" and as personal property, it can naturally be brought into the Instance.
Soon after, the newborn Kaza was taken into the Military Base.
Colonel Kaza, who was once among the Hero Ranking of the Azure Civilization, has now become a complete prisoner of the Green Vine Civilization.
His appearance now looks extremely ugly and terrifying.
Its skin has a texture like tree bark, yet it flows with human red blood.
Amber-colored resin seeped from every crack...
Its upper body retains the outline of a human, except that tiny, tender shoots grow from its collarbone, swaying haphazardly in the wind.
His hair had completely fallen out, replaced by tangled vines.
The trunk is completely lignified below the waist, but it is not a dead tree trunk. The thick root system is like a moving skirt, able to move through the humus like octopus tentacles.
The surface of these roots is covered with a network of milky-white mycelium that resembles nerve endings.
His eyes were the ugliest feature. Due to the characteristics of the Green Vine people, Kaza's eyes had completely degenerated, turning into two cracks on the bark of his skin.
Slowly approaching Turet and Mier, Kaza knelt down tremblingly, tapping its wooden head against the floor.
"Greetings, Commander! Greetings, Prime Minister!"
"Coward Kaza, rise! You once swore allegiance to my Green Vine Civilization and promised to help us fight your homeworld. Now your chance has come!"
"Tell me honestly, how much do you know about this Lin Ye?"
For Mier and Turet, the current Kaza is essentially a puppet, a tool.
Therefore, there's absolutely no need to consider his loyalty.
This tool is completely useless when Mier is challenging other civilization Instances; it can only be of some use when dealing with Azure Star.
Kaza stood up tremblingly, then slowly said:
"Lin Ye is a top expert of the Azure Civilization. He designed a series of Instance and is considered one of the most powerful figures on Azure Star."
"From the moment he started designing his first Instance, he dominated the Civilization world, leveling up from LV0 to the top-tier LV5 in just over a month."
"This person is extremely cunning, exceptionally skilled at setting up various buffs and traps in Instance; a real scoundrel."
Upon hearing this, both Mier and Turet frowned.
In just one month, one can rise from a novice Designer to the pinnacle of civilization—such a powerful individual does not exist in the Green Vine Civilization.
Such speed is truly astonishing.
It seems... what those Azure Star people in the Livestream Room said was absolutely true. No wonder such a person would be revered as a god by a civilized person.
"Kaza! Stop spouting nonsense! I want to hear your honest description of Lin Ye's strength. How do you think we can defeat its Instance?"
Startled by Mier's shout, Kaza hurriedly began to explain.
"I will tell you everything I know, Prime Minister."
"In Lin Ye's previous Instance, Earth Online, his strongest weapons were the Nantianmen Warship System and a Stellar-Class Nuclear Bomb. In my understanding, the Nantianmen Battleship is inferior to the Ancient Tree Warship. As for the Stellar-Class Nuclear Bomb, it's very difficult for a defending faction to use it in Instance."
"As far as I remember, Lin Ye wasn't actually as strong as I thought. I almost managed to clear his Instance back then!"
The current Kaza wouldn't lie; he genuinely believed he was just one step away from breaching the Great Wall Watch Instance.
If the Instance commander at that time had been Colonel Kaza instead of Xi'er, they might have won.
"Furthermore, Lin Ye has another flaw: he's excessively arrogant. He always sets up many things in the Instance to trick Challengers, causing loopholes in the Instance."
"I believe Lin Ye does not possess the strength to defeat the Green Vine Civilization!"
