Shen Heng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then frowned and said:
"That only means that Seventh Tier Calamity Beast cannot move normally in the Erosion Zone, but it doesn't prove that there are no Seventh Tier Calamity Beast, right?"
"But the carrying capacity of a space has an upper limit," Li Daoyi continued.
"If a Seventh Tier Calamity Beast exists, then even if it does nothing, the number of low-tier Calamity Beast will inevitably decrease."
Shen Heng hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded thoughtfully.
He now understood the situation in the Erosion Zone.
Simply put, the Erosion Zone is currently unstable, and there is an upper limit to the energy it can hold.
To fill this limit, there are three options.
One option is to fill the slots with high-level monsters, such as Seventh Tier Calamity Beast.
The second method is to fill the area with a relatively large number of mid-tier Calamity Beast, such as Fifth Tier or Sixth Tier Calamity Beast.
The third type consists of a small number of mid-level and a large number of low-level Calamity Beast.
It is clear that the Ruins Realm side has chosen the third option.
As for the first and second types...
Because of the death of the Calamity Beast on Lanikai Island, they believe that Blue Star is capable of killing Seventh Tier Calamity Beast, so they are not prepared to let mid-to-high-tier Calamity Beast sacrifice themselves in vain?
A thoughtful look appeared in Shen Heng's eyes, and he immediately thought of a question.
If a space has a limit to its carrying capacity, does that mean that the creatures currently in this space are probably only equivalent to one or two Seventh Tier Calamity Beast?
Although I had thought before that the transition from Sixth Tier to Seventh Tier might involve another qualitative change.
But this qualitative change also seems quite significant.
Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi and asked:
"Master, are Seventh Tier Calamity Beast very strong?"
Li Daoyi looked at Shen Heng, his eyes narrowed slightly, then he chuckled softly and said:
" Seventh Tier Calamity Beast will be much stronger than you imagine!"
"Specifically?" Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"Do you remember the Darkwing Heavenly Spine Beast from Lanikai Island?" Li Daoyi.
Shen Heng nodded slightly.
Seeing Li Daoyi continued:
"Don't be fooled by the fact that we killed that Darkwing Heavenly Spine Beast; it was actually severely weakened."
"At that time, it was clearly not supported for Seventh Tier Calamity Beast to overlap, but it was forcibly overlapped, resulting in its consistently poor condition."
"Subsequently, efforts were made to deepen the connection between the two worlds."
"Afterwards, when they were discovered, they were prioritized for bombing by high-yield nuclear weapons."
"For various reasons, when it arrived here, its condition was extremely poor, to the point that it was practically on the verge of death."
"And so, it took us quite a while to finally kill it."
Therefore, it can be said that if any of the above conditions are missing, we might have no way to deal with it.
Shen Heng frowned as he listened, and said uncertainly,
"It sounds like the experience of being forcibly transported here caused him the most harm."
"You heard me right. Without that, the world's nuclear arsenal might have to be depleted by half to have any chance of destroying it," Li Daoyi grin.
"Is it that strong?" Shen Heng asked with a solemn expression.
Li Daoyi smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Shen Heng, and said:
Do you know what the Seventh Tier is also called?
"What's the Seventh Tier called?" Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi with slight confusion. This... has another name?
Under Shen Heng's gaze, Li Daoyi said, word by word:
" The Seventh Tier is also called... the Demigod Tier!"
Shen Heng's pupils suddenly contracted slightly.
The term "Demigod " involves the word "god".
The difference between Sixth Tier and Seventh Tier might be greater than you imagine.
but...
Shen Heng recalled what Lu Zhaoming had done in Linhai.
Although the greater effect is due to the ability, if it is stronger than that First Tier, calling it Demigod would not be an exaggeration.
and...
Shen Heng looked at Li Daoyi.
Demigod!
Judging from the naming style of the headquarters, they probably wouldn't use a word like " Demigod " that involves feudal superstition.
So, did headquarters get this information from the Calamity Beast?
Beside her, Han Ling had also stopped eating at some point.
To be honest, she probably received more new information today than she has in the past few years.
Shen Heng let out a soft breath, then turned to look at Li Daoyi and asked:
"Why is it called the Demigod Tier? Simply because it has reached a certain level of power?"
"Being strong enough is indeed a very important factor," Li Daoyi nodded slightly, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said:
"However, there is another factor: upon reaching the Seventh Tier, their inherent characteristics will Inscription on their bodies."
"This kind of Inscription will make them stronger and more agile in that aspect."
"Furthermore, after they die, this characteristic will randomly attach to a part of their body."
"Weapons forged from that portion will also possess those characteristics."
"Characteristics?" Shen Heng repeated, his brows furrowing slightly.
"For example, if a martial artist's ability is fire, and he cultivates to the Seventh Tier and then dies in battle, his palm bones might be able to release flames," Li Daoyi explained.
Shen Heng nodded slightly, his gaze thoughtfully drifting out the window.
The black snow continued to fall, giving the metal city walls a dark sheen.
In the distance, the roar of construction vehicles could be faintly heard.
At the Seventh Tier, Demigod, will their abilities Inscription into their body...?
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, the base has not been attacked by Calamity Beast.
However, despite this, no one felt relieved; instead, they became increasingly depressed.
Everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
The rumbling sound still echoed within the base.
Shen Heng glanced at the construction robot digging in the soil outside the French windows, then turned his gaze to the distant city wall.
Because the Calamity Beast haven't arrived yet, many preparations are being made to be more comprehensive.
This includes weapons, personnel, buildings, and city walls.
Weapons and buildings are another story.
The number of people at the base has expanded to several thousand in just a few days.
A considerable number of soldiers were transferred from Blue Star.
This is partly to further accelerate the construction and development of the base, and partly to strengthen the base's defenses.
The most important part of the defensive line is the city wall that Shen Heng is currently looking at.
The city wall, initially planned to be several hundred meters in radius, has now expanded to a radius of three kilometers.
It is several meters thick and over twenty meters high.
The original plan was to make the thickness several tens of meters and the height over fifty meters.
However, time is limited, and this is already the limit for us.
