King Ghidorah hovered near the first crater for a long time.
Its three heads are facing different angles, feeling the radiant energy and geothermal gradient carried by the hot air flowing from the crater.
Then it began to descend slowly, bringing its body close to the rock surface at the edge of the crater, and its scales began to glow when they came into contact with the rocks that had been baked by the geothermal heat for a long time.
That layer of light is not dazzling, it is like the warm luster coming from the inside after the rock itself has been heated.
King Ghidorah was lying on the edge of the crater, with three heads hanging down, as if they were undergoing some kind of quiet and long-lasting energy exchange process.
It lay there all night. In the early morning of the next day, when Redd came to the outside of the camp to check, King Ghidorah had already changed its position, moving from the first crater to the second.
The surface of its scales was darker than the previous day, as if it had been re-quenched by geothermal heat and radiation, and a layer of flowing amber halo was faintly revealed in the dark metallic luster.
Over the next few days, King Ghidorah continued to move between Fourteen Flames.
Every time it arrives at a new crater, it will stay there for a period of time, touching the areas with the most concentrated geothermal heat with its body, and slowly absorbing the thermal radiation energy pouring out from deep underground into its body.
It no longer needs to eat meat as frequently to maintain energy reserves.
After the dried meat and fresh meat delivered from the camp were placed on its food pile for a few days, the head in the middle ate most of them unhurriedly, but the eating rhythm had obviously slowed down.
Its energy source is transitioning from the conversion of organic matter to the direct absorption of geothermal heat and radiation. This process causes continuous changes in its surface temperature and scale gloss.
When it releases Gravity Beam, the golden light condenses faster than before and the energy density is higher. The coverage and penetration of each sweep are increasing.
Those actions that require a lot of energy to complete have become easier and more frequent than before with Geothermal Energy as a supplement.
After Redd confirmed that the state of King Ghidorah was stable, he began to consider a deeper issue - the long-term impact of Fourteen Flames's energy on King Ghidorah.
King Ghidorah has the ability of Environmental Modification, which has been verified by Dragonstone.
It once transformed the two active volcanoes on Dragonmont into an ideal environment for the survival and reproduction of Demon Dragon. By adjusting volcanic activity, guiding the direction of geothermal heat, and changing magma channels, it turned the originally barren volcanic area into a habitat for dragons.
If King Ghidorah is allowed to repeat this process on Valyrian Peninsula, it may reduce the activity of Fourteen Flames to a more stable level.
At the same time, the escaping radiation and Geothermal Energy are directed deep underground or to specific areas to prevent them from posing a continuous threat to the city of Valyria.
Redd made a well thought out decision.
He conveyed a clear instruction to King Ghidorah through the spiritual link - the environment of the fourteen Fire Peak can be transformed according to its own preferences, but the land and environment around the city of Valyria cannot be greatly affected.
He hopes that King Ghidorah can adjust the volcano's activity pattern and energy release path, guide the radiation and heat waves that originally spread to the ground to a more suitable direction, while retaining the relative stability of the area around Valyria City.
King Ghidorah did not act immediately after receiving the order. It spent several days flying back and forth between the fourteen Fire Peaks, as if it was drawing an energy map that only it could understand.
Then it started to act.
Its three heads alternately face different craters, and what erupts from its throat is no longer the high-density energy beam like Gravity Beam, but an energy flow with a golden shimmer that is closer to the release of natural elements.
After those energy flows enter the crater, they interact with the original geothermal and magmatic activity, gradually changing the activity pattern inside the volcano.
The frequency of eruptions from some craters began to decrease, and the composition of the smoke emitted changed, from thick black ash to lighter and thinner white steam.
The path of lava flow in some craters has been redirected from the surface the Rift that originally faced Valyria City to deeper rock formation channels.
During these transformation processes, King Ghidorah continues to absorb the energy guided and channeled by it, converting part of it into its own reserves, while the other part is re-released into the environment in a gentler way.
The result is a new equilibrium that defies categorization both geologically and magically.
Fourteen Fire Peak are still active, but they no longer continue to erupt large amounts of volcanic ash and toxic gases as before.
The smoke emitted from some craters changed from black to gray-white, and the amount of ash emissions was significantly reduced.
The continuously burning the Rift that originally extended outward from the edge of the crater is gradually cooling, and the direction of the lava flow is guided by King Ghidorah into deeper underground channels and is no longer directly exposed to the surface.
The land around Valyria city has been redistributed due to the reduction of volcanic ash deposition and geothermal activity, making it more fertile than before. The heat seeping out of the ground the Rift has become more uniform and controllable, and the temperature and humidity of the soil have been maintained within a range suitable for farming.
Valyrian Peninsula A very magical scene appeared.
Fourteen Flames still maintains the apocalyptic scene of thunder from the sky and raging fire from the ground. There are still lightnings swimming in the clouds on the top of the towering craters, there are still dark red lights that flicker in and out of the thick smoke, and there are still magma being thrown into the sky and scattered into fine sparks.
In the very center surrounded by Fourteen Flames, the area where Valyria City is located is sunny and sunny.
The sun penetrates the clouds and falls on the ruins, and the warm wind blows from the sea. There is no longer the pungent smell of sulfur in the air, replaced by the light smell of sea salt and new vegetation.
The outside and the inside are completely two extremes.
Travelers approaching Valyria City from the periphery can feel the threat of volcanoes and thunderstorms several miles away, but once they pass through the barrier surrounded by thunderstorms and Fire Peak and enter the basin where Valyria City is located,
All noise and threats will be blocked out by the invisible barrier, leaving only quiet ruins and the city being rebuilt.
The rebuilt Valyria city does not need city walls.
Fourteen Flames is the best city wall and the most powerful fortification.
The thunderstorms and ground fires between those volcanoes formed a continuous barrier that could not be crossed by ordinary armies. Any enemy trying to enter the Valyria city from the ground would be blocked by the thunderstorm and Fire Peak. Any enemy trying to enter from the air would be intercepted by the King Ghidorah and Demon Dragon legions.
