The Little Mage gave the GeGong Clan no time to react.
After gaining the overwhelming power from the buff orb, he was like a falling meteor, tearing through the Defense Barrier above " Stone Nest City" and crashing into the city center.
boom!
The moment it landed, a terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, and the surrounding buildings, constructed of pale giant bones and hardened resin, collapsed and shattered in large sections, like sandcastles crushed by an invisible giant hand.
The white dust, a mixture of rubble and broken bones, swept outwards like a gale from the point of impact.
With a casual wave of its massive, jet-black claws, the Little Mage unleashed a terrifying claw strike that tore through the air.
The towering spires in front of them, along with the members of the GeGong Clan inside, were blasted into dust, which then dissipated as mist.
His Left Hand followed suit, and the dark blue particles swirling around his body automatically converged into his left claw.
He swung it suddenly.
The entire street was as if it had been plowed by a giant plow, the ground cracked, and the building ruins were cleared out by this terrifying force, creating a huge fan-shaped blank area.
Upon landing, the Little Mage unleashed devastating destruction.
With the War Amplification from the Soul Return Clan, Stone Nest City's defenses were utterly powerless against him.
Ugh!
Urgent alarms sounded throughout the city.
Countless GeGong Clan warriors poured in from all directions.
Despite their fear of the Little Mage in the form of Demon Gods god, they still frantically gathered under the will of the Snake Mother.
To resist the destruction, the approaching GeGong Clan warriors raised their heads, their pale, pupil-less eyes instantly blazing with a blinding light.
Countless gray-white beams of stone-condensed light, like dense raindrops, intertwined in the air to form a net of death, raining down on the Little Mage in his " Myriad Phenomena Beasts" form.
However, this energy, which was enough to instantly turn the elite squad of the Lingxi Clan into stone sculptures, was instantly crushed by the surging flesh and blood energy when it struck the Little Mage's body, exploding into clusters of dim energy ripples.
Without the absolute logic of rules and power, the power of stone condensation is completely ineffective in the face of overwhelming force.
Like raindrops hitting an indestructible reef, leaving not even a trace.
The power of soul forging makes it impervious to all laws.
This is one of the war buffs created by the Soul Return Clan specifically for fused Soul Beast responsible for tearing apart enemy lines on the battlefield.
It is a domineering Pseudo-Rule- level power that highly solidifies the body and mind of the target, making the fused beast immune to most attacks such as energy shocks, mental erosion, and curse corruption.
Faced with this top-tier war buff specifically designed for offensive operations, the GeGong Clan's "Stone Condensation" power, which leans towards curse characteristics, is like trying to chisel through composite armor with a rusty dagger—it's difficult to even leave a scratch.
The GeGong Clan warriors who witnessed this scene were filled with rage and fury.
But the Little Mage didn't care what the GeGong Clan warriors thought.
He came here with the intention of overwhelming the GeGong Clan with absolute power within a limited time.
Even if we cannot completely destroy them, we must severely weaken the GeGong Clan and make them lose the courage to fight against the Lingxi Clan.
At this moment, it opened its enormous mouth, which resembled an abyss, and a vortex gathered within it.
The second-generation Monster Soul's " Gravitational Vortex " characteristic is activated.
This Monster Soul is regarded as a control skill by many magic-based players, but Little Mage uses it to assist the Devour ability.
A terrifying suction force suddenly formed in my mouth.
The GeGong Clan warriors below, along with the stone-condensed energy they released, were forcibly extracted like rivers flowing into the sea.
It transformed into streams of grayish-white energy, which surged wildly into the Little Mage's mouth.
These torrents, containing the life characteristics and innate power of the GeGong Clan, enter the body and are then enveloped by the power of the Special Soul " Myriad Phenomena ".
The Pseudo-Rule took effect instantly, disintegrating the bodies of the GeGong Clan warriors that were about to be devoured.
Impurities were stripped from the bluish-gray flesh, extracting the purest life essence, which, like sweet rain, seeped into the limbs and bones of the behemoth, replenishing its consumption and subtly strengthening this already terrifying body.
Deeper still, the life structure information of the GeGong Clan warriors, including the bloodline runes that can bear and release the power of "stone solidification", the arrangement of muscle fibers, and the unique energy circuits that transform spiritual power into Petrification curse... all the "life code" contained in the flesh and soul was forcibly read and stripped away by the power of Myriad Phenomena.
The Little Mage spent a fortune to combine the characteristics of the dead, the Soul Beast, and the super beast into Special Soul: Myriad Phenomena.
This is so that it can absorb the life characteristics of different races, thereby optimizing the life form of the super beast.
The information that was deciphered, after being devoured and digested by the Myriad Phenomena Soul, became part of the Myriad Phenomena Life Information Database.
After the recording was completed, some subtle areas on the carapace of the super beast began to spontaneously adjust their structure, revealing natural Petrification patterns similar to those on the skin of the GeGong Clan, and the internal energy flow path was also slightly adjusted.
Ultimately, the characteristics bestowed by the Myriad Phenomena directly manifested the "optimizable" aspects in the Super Beast form ( Myriad Phenomena form).
This is the greatest strength of the Myriad Phenomena Soul.
While devouring, it plunders the life blueprint of its opponent, turning the superior qualities of the defeated into nutrients for its own evolution.
Each time a life form is devoured, the life database of the Myriad Phenomena Soul is updated.
The life forms of the Myriad Phenomena super beasts are continuously optimized in a stronger direction.
Devouring, analyzing, optimizing... the GeGong Clan's not-so-complex life structure was recorded in a mere instant.
The Little Mage's understanding of "the power of stone solidification" then emerged in his mind.
He looked down at the GeGong Clan warriors surging in like a tide below, his eyes gleaming with a grayish-white light.
This power shares the same origin as the power wielded by the GeGong Clan below, but with the optimization of Myriad Phenomena, it has Transcendence the former.
The grayish-white color in their eyes deepened.
Buzz!
The immense power of the stone condensation spread out from the Little Mage, like a cold wave at absolute zero, instantly sweeping across all directions.
Wherever the fluctuations reached, time seemed to stand still.
The GeGong Clan warriors, who were frantically channeling their stone-condensing power, were instantly frozen in place.
The feeling of disbelief had just risen from the bottom of her heart, and before it could fully show on her face, it was frozen in time forever.
They sensed a power akin to that contained within their bloodline, yet it was far more surging, a power that even they themselves could not escape.
Grayish-white Petrification markings quickly covered their bodies.
The tens of thousands of elite warriors of the GeGong Clan who attacked in the second wave transformed into a forest of gray-white stone sculptures in various poses.
His charging stance, ferocious expression, and even the Qi and Blood energy around him were completely frozen, Deathly Stillness standing silently in place.
The subsequent charge of the GeGong Clan's army came to an abrupt halt, utterly stunned by the terrifying scene before them.
They have become immune to their most prized talent, devoured the essence of their brethren, and now they have even learned to harness their power source to suppress them in turn.
The way the Little Mage ruthlessly crushed the enemy with their power shocked the GeGong Clan warriors, destroying their will more effectively than simple violence.
The GeGong Clan warriors who followed saw the invincible Demon Gods's image reflected in their eyes, and panic spread like a plague through their hearts.
Just then, a chilling will suddenly awakened from the deepest part of the Stone Nest.
hiss!
A sharp screech rang out from the direction of the central bone tower.
The Snake Mother emerged from the tunnel beneath the tower, gazing at the Little Mage's Demon Gods figure with intense killing intent in her eyes.
The Snake Mother could tell from the fluctuations in Qi and Blood that she was no match for him.
But this is its home turf.
The Snake Mother slammed her arms down on the ground and began chanting a spell in a hoarse voice.
Instantly, ripples spread outwards through the air.
The entire city of Stone Nest suddenly trembled.
The white runes hidden beneath the city lit up one by one, as if instantly infused with life, bursting forth with dazzling light.
After the spirit patterns intertwined and connected, they quickly formed a complex array covering a large part of the city.
During this period, elite warriors of the GeGong Clan continuously emerged from the underground tunnels, rushing to the energy hub nodes on the formation.
Upon contact with the node, the body merges into the illuminated runes.
The integration of each GeGong Clan warrior will cause the runes at the corresponding node to shine a little brighter.
This is a rudimentary battle formation that integrates the power of the GeGong Clan warriors, making the individual part of the whole.
However, it cannot generate a stacking cycle of power like a player's battle formation.
During the fusion process, countless gray-white energy streams surged from the array nodes, like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically converging towards the Snake Mother located at the center of the array.
Under the infusion of this immense power, the Snake Mother's body began to swell and deform, emitting a "crackling" sound as her bones dislocated, and her flesh and blood rapidly multiplied.
The ground beneath it rose and cracked, and the massive earth and rocks mixed with energy, rapidly forming a huge snake tail covered with thick gray-white scales, with the Snake Mother at its core.
Although the Snake Mother's upper body still retained a human form, it was covered with hideous bone armor, and her size increased steadily during this period.
In the blink of an eye, a giant gray-white serpent, even taller than the Myriad Phenomena Beasts, rose from the ground, its structure built upon an array and the power of the GeGong Clan warriors and earth and stone.
The giant serpent's body was connected to the earth's veins beneath Stone Nest City, and it exuded a heavy, oppressive aura.
The giant serpent raised its head, its white vertical pupils fixed on the Little Mage in his Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Beast form, and let out a deafening roar.
Then, its massive body launched itself into the air with a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size, tearing through the air and crashing into the Little Mage with a frenzied momentum that seemed capable of crushing everything in its path.
Perception the surging Qi and Blood energy sweeping towards it, Myriad Phenomena myriad-shaped super beast transformed from the Little Mage suddenly turned around, its giant eyes burning with blood-red flames Battle Intent rising.
Come!
The Little Mage neither dodged nor evaded; beneath his jet-black armor, his muscles bulged to their limit, and he suddenly stretched his right arm backward, throwing a punch forward.
boom!!!
The giant fist collided violently with the snake's head.
The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, exploded in a spherical shape.
Large swathes of buildings were shattered into dust like building blocks, the dust scattering far and wide.
Click!
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
The thick scales on the sides of the snake's skull, along with the bones beneath, instantly caved in and shattered.
The giant serpent's charge was abruptly halted by the Little Mage's domineering punch.
roar!
With the Little Mage's roar, the muscles in his right fist, which was pressing against the snake's head, bulged, and an even more powerful force erupted.
With the most domineering posture, it pushed the giant snake head and slammed it hard into the ground.
boom!
The snake's head was slammed into the ground by a fist.
In an instant, it crushed the area below into Giant Pit, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly outwards.
Gravel and dust shot into the sky.
The giant snake's massive body twisted and writhed violently from the impact, while its thick tail, like a steel whip, lashed out with a Breaking the Void sound as it struck the Little Mage's side.
Bang!
Blue sparks flew everywhere, the Myriad Phenomena beast swayed slightly, and a tiny crack appeared on its black battle armor.
But that's all.
Instead, the giant snake's tail scales were shattered by the shock.
Feeling the impact spreading across his waist, the bloodlust in the Little Mage's giant eyes intensified.
His left claw shot out with lightning speed, grabbing the end of the snake's tail before it could retract.
His five fingers seemed to suddenly clench, and his right hand formed a chop, slashing down with a thunderous roar.
Pfft!
The scales Shatter, and the tip of the snake's tail instantly broke apart.
hiss!
The giant snake hissed, twisting its body wildly, turning its head and opening its massive jaws, about to unleash a grayish-white breath brimming with destructive energy.
But the Little Mage is faster.
He gripped the severed snake tail, his muscles bulging like mountains, unleashing terrifying power in an instant.
The enormous object was swung around like a hammer and slammed into a still intact section of the city to the side.
Boom!
Amidst the earth- Mountain Shaker, the giant snake's body crushed through clusters of buildings, reducing them all to rubble.
Stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the sky.
At this moment, even the Little Mage couldn't help but let out an excited roar.
When he first became a player, he actually chose the magic-based Astral Veins build.
But after acquiring the Super Beast, he discovered that his growth path was actually more suited to close-quarters combat.
Even the Blood King's memories are all tailored to close-quarters combat techniques.
Therefore, he modified the Astral Veins pairing.
Except for the Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul and the " Gravitational Vortex " that assists in devouring, all other Monster Soul have been modified to be of the Qi and Blood type, that is, Monster Soul that focus on strengthening the body.
Before the giant serpent could struggle to its feet from the ruins, he leaped up, raised his massive foot covered in "Soul Forging Power," and then stomped down like Warhammer.
Thump!
This kick landed squarely on the middle of the giant snake.
The terrifying force pierced through the scales and armor, penetrating directly into the fused array nodes within, causing conductive damage.
The white giant serpent also arched its body suddenly in response to the attack, and the white energy liquid that maintained the operation of the formation gushed out from its mouth.
The Little Mage bent down, his other giant claw clenched into a fist, and the dark blue light released by the "Soul Forging Power" on the fist surged wildly.
One punch! Two punches! Three punches!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each punch landed squarely on the snake's head.
Fragments of scales formed from condensed energy, mixed with soil, rocks, and bone debris, flew everywhere.
Just as the Little Mage was preparing to deliver the final blow.
Simultaneously, neighing sounds rang out from the other three directions of Stone Nest City.
Three slightly smaller, but also formed from the power of the GeGong Clan warriors, gray-white giant snakes emerged from the ground from different directions.
They were formed by three war generals of the GeGong Clan, carrying overwhelming killing intent, and went straight for the Little Mage.
One of the giant snakes opened its fangs and lunged to bite from behind.
Another one approached from behind, attempting to entangle and Restraint.
The last one raised its tail high and crashed down like a pillar of heaven.
But the Little Mage showed no sign of stopping.
Only by eliminating the enemy ruler can the pressure of war that the Lingxi Clan will face be alleviated.
Ignoring the approaching threat, the fist aimed at the Snake Mother's head was not withdrawn; instead, the power granted by the Soul Forging Force was unleashed without reservation.
Following closely, accumulate characteristics and activate.
boom!
This punch was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Snake Mother's head, which was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer withstand it and exploded with a bang.
Countless pale energy fragments mixed with blood, flesh, and bone debris sprayed out.
The body, maintained by the array, flickered violently before collapsing inch by inch, transforming into a primal torrent of energy and the emaciated figures of the GeGong Clan warriors, which fell from mid-air.
The Little Mage opened its massive maw once more, activating its Gravitational Vortex property.
A terrifying suction force locked onto the collapsing torrent of energy, along with the Snake Mother and the GeGong Clan warriors, drawing them into its mouth.
The Snake Mother let out a defiant shriek, but she was powerless to Resistance the force. She flailed her arms as the Little Mage swallowed her whole.
Next comes: Consume, Analyze, Optimize.
As the strongest member of the GeGong Clan, the Snake Mother possesses a life structure information far superior to that of ordinary warriors.
The Myriad Phenomena Soul operated wildly, greedily absorbing the life information entering their bodies, and the Myriad Phenomena ' bodies gained a deeper understanding of the GeGong Clan.
The Challenger Prompt continued to ring out.
At this moment, the Little Mage can Time Slice his Myriad Phenomena Forms into the " Snake Mother " form at any time, if he so desires.
However, this kind of life structure can only serve as an embellishment to optimize the body of Myriad Phenomena, and is not worthy of becoming the main combat form.
Just then...
The giant snake arrived from behind, its fangs biting hard into his shoulder and back. The snake, which had tried to coil around him, successfully wrapped itself around his waist and arms. Finally, its tail, which fell like a pillar from the sky, slammed heavily into the side of his head.
A terrifying force erupted instantly, causing Myriad Phenomena colossal beast to stagger, and the cracks on its black armor spread further.
The body was damaged, but the power of soul forging remained unextinguished.
The Little Mage's eyes burned even brighter with bloodlust, and he let out a violent roar.
The massive body suddenly twisted.
His left arm muscles bulged like a hydraulic press as he unleashed a precise and powerful uppercut.
boom!
The fist slammed solidly into the giant snake's jaw.
The terrifying force slammed the gaping maw shut, shattering its fangs, and the snake's head was thrown back high into the air uncontrollably.
Then, the Little Mage's right claw shot out like lightning, its five fingers like hooks, piercing the neck of the giant snake coiled around its body. With a sudden burst of strength, it used the snake's massive head as a weapon, swinging it up to smash the giant snake that was lunging at it from the other side.
The two enormous snake heads collided violently, producing a deafening explosion of shattering bones.
The attack of the two giant snake formations was thus thwarted.
At this moment, the remaining giant snake raised its tail and crashed down from the sky like a pillar of heaven.
The Little Mage didn't have time to retract his arm, so he abruptly tilted his head and used his shoulder, covered by the thickest armor plates, to brace himself against the impact.
After a muffled, deafening roar, the body of the Myriad Phenomena beast sank slightly, and the ground beneath its feet collapsed several meters deep.
The cracks on the surface of the Super Beast's body increased again.
Feeling the pressure, he reached up with his left claw and grabbed the snake's tail, which hadn't had time to retract.
His arm muscles bulged terribly, and he used them as whips, wildly slamming them left and right.
The entire Stone Nest City seemed to have been transformed into his amusement park. He swung the two giant snakes formed by the array around and smashed them into the ground, into buildings, and into a third giant snake that was trying to approach.
Each collision causes the Mountain Shaker violently, rocks to fly everywhere, and energy to dissipate.
Finally, he hurled the two giant snakes in his hands, which had been battered until their light was dim and their structure was almost completely broken, together violently.
Boom!
Amidst a violent explosion, the two giant snakes completely disintegrated.
They transformed into countless scattered energy points and the figures of numerous GeGong Clan warriors falling to the ground, coughing up blood.
However, the Little Mage did not choose to use " Myriad Phenomena Soul " to devour this time.
The GeGong Clan's ability to optimize Myriad Phenomena life forms has already been fully documented.
Continuing to devour other organisms will no longer bring any new evolutionary value.
They had killed the three-headed giant serpent in succession, but the war was not over yet.
The power structure of the GeGong Clan is centered on the Snake Mother, under whom are 108 War Generals, and there is an extremely brutal competition mechanism within the tribe.
This model was also the self-optimization model of the GeGong Clan before they descended upon the Monster World.
They select the strongest through a process akin to raising poisonous insects, constantly evolving under pressure.
Secondly, it is also for the purpose of dynamically allocating resources.
A commander who doesn't make progress, or even the Snake Mother, will be eliminated by those who come after him.
This is also why the Snake Mother craves war.
Only war can bring about unity against external threats; otherwise, it will only ignite internal strife.
The demise of the Snake Mother presents a tremendous opportunity for the other war commanders.
Whoever steps forward at this moment, defeats or severely damages the powerful enemy, has a very high chance of taking over the power vacuum left by the Snake Mother and becoming the new leader of the tribe.
The silhouettes of giant, grayish-white snakes could be seen attacking multiple locations in the city, forming encirclements.
But the Little Mage had no intention of continuing the fight.
Death is not scary; what's scary is not being able to return to the village after going back.
The deterrence has been achieved. The top combat force of the GeGong Clan has been crushed one after another. The Snake Mother, a symbol of power, has fallen, and the central area of the main city, Stone Nest, has been reduced to ruins.
Even if the GeGong Clan doesn't fall into internal strife after this battle, it will still suffer a severe blow.
For a long time to come, they will lose the ability to expand outwards and even threaten the Lingxi Clan.
Seeing the greyish-white giant snakes surging wildly from all over the city, the Little Mage suddenly raised his giant claw and slammed it hard into the ground.
The Eagle Head Demon Perception that there were multiple spiritual veins deep within the earth that sustained the city's operation.
Before I leave, I'll pull off one last heist.
A surge of vital Qi and Blood, mixed with the power of soul forging, poured into the earth.
The array base beneath the earth shattered, and as the earth trembled violently, deep, bottomless ravines opened up, and Berserk energy turbulence surged out from the ground.
Having completed the destruction, he suddenly bent over and stomped his foot on the ground.
boom!
He kicked a huge crater in the ground beneath his feet, and the reaction force propelled his mountain-like body skyward.
It tore through the air and flew towards Lingxi City.
The sonic booms generated by the high-speed flight, like continuous thunder, resounded one after another over Stone Nest City.
He left a bloody trail along the way, as if he had smashed a scar into the sky.
The Little Mage, with unstoppable momentum, strode away amidst the horrified gazes of countless GeGong Clan warriors.
This is his deterrence plan.
Only by displaying our fangs in the most violent way can we deter powerful enemies.
Warnings, threats, compromises... none of these tactics are effective.
Between races, the clearest language is to flex one's muscles or to destroy them outright.
The Origin Altar.
Qi Sheng withdrew his gaze from the Fantasy Flower Plain region.
Little Mage is one of the players he pays close attention to.
Unlike most players, they grow and develop around their own faction.
The Little Mage who unexpectedly became the " Blood King " has forged an independent path, which in itself is of great interest.
In Qi Sheng's evaluation system, the value created by the Little Mage is mainly reflected in four aspects.
First, he is the individual who pays the most taxes among all players.
All resources produced by the Lingxi Clan are converted entirely through the Player Camp's Trading House platform.
Qi Sheng can consistently earn a 5% transaction fee from every transaction processed through the Trading House.
The Lingxi Clan's large-scale industry has generated considerable transaction volume, making the Little Mage a major taxpayer among Player Camp.
Secondly, the Lingxi Clan under his rule filled a fundamental niche in the player economy.
The player base tends to favor gameplay styles such as hunting, exploration, and dungeons.
There is very little interest in producing low-end products.
This results in these basic goods having a high added value in the player Trading House.
For example: custom Fishing Line, fishing rods, tents, and other handmade products.
A typical example is the Arms Dealer Guild.
The " Mining Rig " they produce are not technologically advanced.
In the Monster World, many Alien Races can easily handle automated mining, but the Arms Dealer Guild is able to sell Mining Rig for high prices.
Because they meet the specific needs of the player base.
Even if players have the ability, they are unwilling to spend a lot of time learning and creating it.
The Little Mage astutely seized this blue ocean market, leveraging the human resource advantage of the Lingxi Clan to mass-produce low-level products that players were unwilling to make but whose production volume could not keep up with, and then sold them through the Trading House.
These products may not have high profit margins per transaction, but they can generate continuous revenue thanks to stable sales volume and huge market demand.
This also reduces the added value of these products.
This helps maintain the market prices of these basic commodities at a relatively stable level.
This behavior also reduced players' spending.
It allows you to acquire various handicraft tools at a lower cost.
Secondly, Little Mage provides players with essential resources for development, such as Spirit Plant, Spirit Ore, and ingredients.
These resources were all mined, cultivated, and excavated by the Lingxi Clan.
However, by selling them to players at prices below market value, the burden on players in the early stages of development is reduced, which can also be seen as indirectly accelerating the overall improvement of the Player Camp's strength.
Therefore, while the Lingxi Clan uses the Player Camp as a channel for resource conversion, it also sustains the operation of the Player Camp.
The development model of the Lingxi Clan gave Qi Sheng a strong sense of déjà vu.
The current Lingxi Clan is very similar to a dependent structure that existed in the ancient Earth era before he transmigrated and became Di Zhao.
After a certain ambush party is defeated, the victorious party does not directly impose colonial rule on the defeated party, but it also parachutes in a de facto ruler and establishes a new dependency structure centered on its own interests, allowing the defeated party to be deeply embedded in its own economic system to "generate blood".
It took on tedious production tasks to serve and nourish the victorious system that defeated it, and found its new space for survival within this system.
However, the difference between the two lies in their positioning, which is worlds apart.
For the Lingxi Clan, Player Camp are not "suzerain states" with which they can seek opportunities to vie for power.
It's not possible now, and it's even less likely to happen in the future.
It is merely an individual who emerged from the Player Camp and established a new power.
Although it exists independently, it is essentially a vassal force that is deeply dependent on the Player Camp's ecosystem in order to survive.
This fragile attachment, which players can unilaterally Time Slice time, is the only way for the Lingxi Clan to survive in the Monster World.
He will continue to follow the developments of Little Mage.
Qi Sheng's gaze then shifted to the Ascension Sea Area.
A fierce naval battle is about to unfold.
Perhaps the journey of the Ascension Clan in the Monster World will come to an end in this war.
