Willow giant, colossal spider...
Cuiske and Margaret, these two High Tier, appear to have a second form similar to those in certain games or novels.
Although the transformation animation looked a bit rough this time (due to poor signal), the grand scenes were still exhilarating.
A giant, a giant spider, and a vampire duke who looks human but is actually nothing like a human.
This constitutes the entirety of the Adelaide Lineage's High Tier combat power.
But who is their enemy now?
Fifty knight squires were resurrecting and counting down, two Twin Kings were possessing the body without putting in any effort, more than a thousand players were reshaping their bodies, and Ed looked weak, pitiful, and helpless.
It seems this battle is beyond our control.
However, there is some good news. With Adelaide's resurgence and the two dukes revealing their true colors, Ed is at least not worried about Adelaide having any trump cards up their sleeve in the short term.
Ed had assumed Adelaide would attack him first, but to his surprise, the Grand Duke, who bore a resemblance to a drowned, first looked at the King of Domination possessing Xilǐ'er not far away.
Tell me, is Antos still alive?
Adelaide's tone carried a faint sadness, but considering that these guys were originally meant to devour each other, Ed didn't know what was making her so sad.
Xilǐ'er clamped his legs together, Radish pulled him forward two steps.
He spoke in a deep voice, his answer concise and clear:
"Dead."
"Well."
Upon hearing this, Adelaide's face showed a hint of sadness.
He was the youngest and the most arrogant.
"You killed him first because you held a grudge?"
Xilǐ'er shook his head, his tone full of earnestness:
"No, it's just because he was the first one found. If you had been the first one found, I would have killed you first too."
Adelaide didn't answer again, her gaze sweeping over the Immortal King and the King of Domination, then turning to Ed, who was closest to her:
"Let's all go together."
No one would dare to do that!
Ed was busy drafting a temporary announcement for the players and had no intention of confronting Adelaide head-on.
After all, since the BOSS has implemented a one-click screen-clearing mechanic, players should be given some explanation.
However, Ed's thoughts were quick, and in the blink of an eye, all the players who had joined the battle received his notification:
[Temporary Announcement:]
The ongoing " Adelaide Conquest" has been affected by the resurrection of the final boss, Adelaide. Therefore, a temporary battlefield debuff has been added. Players who have not reached the Middle Tier and enter the battlefield alone will die naturally within ten seconds.
It is recommended that players abandon the "single form" and choose the "aggregate form" when resurrecting. This will allow them to skip using the item " Citrus Aggregate " and resurrect directly as Half-Treant Aggregate.
The current requirement for the number of people in Half-Treant Aggregate is 8-18. The attribute change rules are the same as those for using the " Citrus Aggregate ".
The strategies you can currently choose from are:
1. Specialized Abilities: The system will match you with players whose attribute allocation strategies are similar to yours to form Half-Treant Aggregate. Aggregates created by choosing this strategy have outstanding individual abilities, but also have obvious weaknesses.
2. Barrel Effect: The system will match you with players whose attribute allocation strategy complements yours to form Half-Treant Aggregate. Aggregates created by choosing this strategy have relatively balanced ability values. Although they do not have any specialized abilities, they also do not have any obvious weaknesses.
3. Random Team Formation: Leave everything to fate and create unique, randomly generated teams.
After issuing the temporary announcement and ignoring the clamor of the players who had not yet been resurrected in their spirit form, the Willow and the Demon Duma were simultaneously connected to the Root Network.
Time was of the essence, Ed left only a brief message:
"Execute the contingency plan!"
The Second Holy See, Valhalla.
Willow, so engrossed in her research that she lost all sense of time, was suddenly awakened by a message from Ed.
After glancing at it, she quickly realized the importance of the matter.
Ed's contingency plan had only one trigger condition: the battlefield situation would exceed his expectations, forcing him to send more troops.
"If even the boss can't handle it, how could I possibly?"
Willow let out the same dejected wail as all working people.
As if in response to her, Ed sent another private message, which sounded a little more specific:
"Try out the golem's new features, and while you're at it, throw Muller at these coordinates and tell him..."
Sensing the location of that unique and repulsive Blood Corpse Psionic Energy, Willow teleported to the doorway of Ed's study.
Sure enough, Müller-chan was there, dressed like a butler in the home of a high-ranking human nobleman, standing there meticulously.
"Ah... your father is calling you."
Willow, suppressing the strange address, spoke to Muller.
Muller's expression froze:
"Please take me there immediately! My father must have something very important to tell me at this time!"
Whether it was real or an act, Willow was genuinely impressed by the Blood Corpse's chameleon-like ability.
She said to Muller:
Your father asked me to pass on a message to you.
"I am all ears."
"There's a reward for finishing the food, and a punishment for not finishing it."
"What?"
Before Muller could react, a spatial rift appeared beneath his feet.
He fell in with a "whoosh," and before he could even react to what was happening, he was plunged into the unknown liquid.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
Gas kept gushing out of Muller's mouth and nose, and the liquid also seeped into his mouth.
"Um?"
Muller was taken aback—this...this...this seems to be...?
It's blood!
Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Opening his eyes amidst the blood, Muller saw a talking... giant cork?
The father's voice came from a slit resembling a mouth above the cork:
"Stop talking nonsense and eat!"
After seeing Muller off, Willow teleported back to her room. As for Ed's mention of the golem's new function?
It seems Ed was referring to the previously developed remote operation capability.
She closed her eyes, anchored Ed's current location, and then shoved the newly modified alchemical golem " Seretima Type I " into the teleportation array.
Ed added many new features to this thing after the last battle, and its current combat power is even stronger than hers, who is at Middle Tier.
The lich then went to an empty area in the room, activated Ed's Weightlessness spell to levitate herself, and uttered the incantation that Ed had insisted she recite, though for reasons unknown—"Link start!"
Willow closed her eyes, and the image that appeared in her mind was exactly what the alchemical golem's eyes could see.
As she continued to fall, she saw a man she had only ever seen in her mother's stories—Grand Duke Adelaide!
After adjusting her stance, Willow manipulated the golem to land in a stylish manner, and an enchanted broadsword popped out from the golem's arm.
Alchemy Golem 4.0, join the battle!
