Star-Forging Dragon Nest.
Star-Forging Dragon King throne, Lai Keya Sol looked down upon the five prostrate True Dragon and boomed, "Have you remembered this mission?"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will surely sever the target's head, shatter his body and soul, and wash away the shame suffered by the Dragon Clan with the enemy's blood!"
The True Dragon in the very center has a mouth. It has some dreamlike, exquisite dragon scales, but its body is strong and majestic. Even when it is lying on the ground, it is like a majestic mountain, giving people a sense of being unshakable.
The Star-Forging Dragon King, Lai Keya, who had previously looked down on the other four dragons, showed a hint of satisfaction and gentleness in his vertical pupils after hearing the words of this True Dragon.
"Very good, Kelongjia, I'll be waiting for your good news at the Dragon's Nest."
The sound spread like ink dripping onto paper. Led by True Dragon named Kelongjia, the five True Dragon, who would rank among the top even at the Peak Demigod level, flew towards the front line battlefield without looking back, silently lurking and waiting for Gustavo's arrival.
Fallen Star Nest.
The Lesser World Origin Force within the black egg had been completely exhausted, and the aura within the mechanical device seemed to have stopped, without any ripples, until a faint, almost imperceptible heartbeat was heard, and faint ripples appeared, causing the Void Energy to boil violently. Countless energy factors rushed in, as if paying homage to their king.
Buzz~
The hatch slowly opened, and wires were pulled out of Gustavo's body.
In an instant, a ghostly green light filled the entire enclosed space, and the terrifying aura from the Void Behemoth raged outwards, but quickly receded into Gustavo's body.
As his Divine Power sank into the "Bloodline Sanctuary," a vast world came into view. It seemed illusory, but it was actually real. This was a space created within Gustavo's body.
Located in the center of the Bloodline Sanctuary is a building that closely resembles the Zerg hive. It is entirely purplish-black, a thousand meters tall, and its surface is covered with pipes that are a mixture of flesh and machinery, which undulate and writhe from time to time, as if transporting something.
Around the mother nest, rows of soldier breeding pods stand like mountains. With the help of the special life energy and gene fragments provided by the mother nest, and in combination with various metal materials, they rapidly produce mechanical Dragon Soldiers that are a mixture of flesh and steel.
In just half an hour, a mechanical Dragon Soldiers can rapidly expand and develop from an embryonic state to a mature state, tearing apart insect eggs and letting out a bloodthirsty roar amidst splattering slime.
Gustavo called them "Dragon Mech Soldier".
Compared to the Logo Nirvana Legion, the Dragon Mech Soldier are far inferior in terms of individual combat strength, duration of existence, and upgrade potential; the gap is enormous.
However, Dragon Mech Soldier also have their own advantages, namely, their extremely fast production speed. As long as they have "life energy", "metallic substances" and "gene fragments", they can be quickly and on a large scale.
This gave Gustavo the ability to sustain his war effort through warfare.
In short, they fight, devour, and produce simultaneously.
Especially when facing a large-scale attack, the enemy will gradually realize with alarm that Gustavo's forces are growing larger and larger, turning a babbling brook into a vast ocean, and the time required will be unexpectedly short.
And this is one of the essences of the Void Insect Clan's mass production of units.
Legion-based strategies are also divided into different factions. Logo is an all-rounder, possessing not only the elite Nirvana Legion but also the ability to produce large numbers of miscellaneous troops, such as the Golden Sparrow Mechanized Troops, as well as the Colossus, a leader-type unit. With multiple unit types working together, it can adapt to any war or one-on-one battle.
Gustavo's legion strategy relies on sheer numbers and overwhelming numbers. The Dragon Mech Soldier Dragon Mech Soldier he produces have no fixed style; they are produced based on whatever gene fragments they consume.
To some extent, this can be considered a strategy that adapts to local conditions and circumstances. Although its prospects are not as promising as Logo's, they should not be underestimated.
After all, Gustavo's true trump card is his Law of Devouring. Individual combat power and legion formations are merely supplements to his own combat power, making him more versatile and allowing him to maintain continuous growth in strength when encountering bottlenecks.
It was still his cautious mindset at play. Of course, it cannot be denied that the painful experience of not making any progress for a long time and even having to cut off his own level was also an important factor that led Gustavo to develop the Legion-style gameplay.
He never wanted to live that stifling life again; it was too damn unbearable.
Besides the Bloodline Sanctuary, Gustavo's other major improvement lies in the "Controller" talent.
This talent consumed 60% of the Lesser World Origin Force, so its strength was greatly enhanced. Although it did not reach the "perfect level" like the Devourer, it was still the top-tier "limit level" talent, which was extremely powerful.
The Controller can not only control the irresistible soul of the target, turning it into a soul slave.
Furthermore, during battle, one can use their own soul strength to launch soul attacks or control methods.
Originally, Gustavo's powerful soul force had little use other than enhancing his mental will. However, with the further improvement of his Controller's talent, even when fighting enemies using only soul methods, Gustavo was undoubtedly a top-tier Peak Demigod terms of combat strength. As everyone knows, soul-type experts become increasingly unpredictable and difficult to deal with as they progress, and there are no easy opponents among Peak Demigod- level soul-type experts.
If Gustavo's other abilities are added to his overall combat strength, he could dominate among the Peak Demigod, easily defeating his father, Sylvain, in his prime.
Gustavo took out his communicator, glanced at the call log, raised an eyebrow slightly, and dialed the number.
The projection popped up, Narnia's slightly gloomy face appeared before him. "How long do you plan to drag this out before heading to the front lines?"
"Right away, I'll go right away," Gustavo quickly replied, explaining his delay.
Upon hearing that Gustavo was improving his strength, Narnia's expression softened. He understood how dangerous it would be to send Gustavo to the front lines now, so he simply snorted and didn't pursue the matter further.
"If I don't see you set off within three days at the latest, I'll personally take matters into my own hands and send you to the front lines!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Narnia's projection disappeared.
Gustavo shook his head slightly, knowing that he could not delay any longer. Once this wave of Dragon Mech Soldier was produced, he would immediately rush to the front line.
The outbreak of the Chaos Tide symbolizes a large-scale war between the True Dragon Empire and the Treacherous Destruction Continent, and naturally, the two sides will not be at peace during the period when the tide is calm.
In reality, the troops and powerful figures on both sides at the front lines are engaged in battles of all sizes every moment.
From a small floating continent in the Void to a struggle for a plane, blood always shrouded the sky above the battlefield.
Three days later, Gustavo stuffed all the resources he had available for mass-producing troops into the Bloodline Sanctuary and stepped into the "teleportation wormhole" located on the Treacherous Destruction Continent.
After passing through a bizarre wormhole tunnel, Gustavo arrived at a Void Void. After announcing his identity, he entered the War Mission Hall.
Rayquaza Weimis sent Gustavo to the front lines of the battlefield, and he didn't just say that; he also set standards for Gustavo.
That is to obtain 100 million merit points before the Fate Supremacy War begins.
If he fails to complete the task, not only will the Eye of the Void be reclaimed, but Gustavo will also be denied a spot in the Fate Supremacy War.
Conversely, if Gustavo succeeds, not only will the merit points he lacks for the Eye of the Void be reduced by 70%, but he will also be directly granted a spot in the Fate Supremacy War, along with other resource rewards.
Essentially, this is a test, but it's unclear whether it's a test for Weimis himself, a test for Gustavo from his people, or both?
Simply stating the numbers doesn't convey the difficulty of accumulating 100 million merit points within a few years.
To put it simply, according to the statistics of the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, Peak Demigod- level Dragon-Hunting Spider typically earns between 600,000 and 720,000 merit points every ten years.
In other words, Gustavo's mission difficulty is comparable to the combined difficulty of more than a hundred Peak Demigod.
"Phew~, being overly valued isn't always a good thing..."
Gustavo, sighing inwardly, had already figured out Rayquaza Weimis's intentions.
The supreme commander of the East 3 War Zone clearly did not want Gustavo to remain hidden. He wanted Gustavo to expose himself and attract the various forces of the Dragon Clan to encircle and annihilate him, so that he could single-handedly kill all the Peak Demigod of the True Dragon Clan.
Each enemy Demigod represents a generous reward of merit points, not to mention Peak Demigod.
Otherwise, simply completing the mission and killing Gustavo would not have been enough to accumulate 100 million merit points in such a short time.
"It was better when we were kids. We could slack off as much as we wanted, and nobody cared. Now that we're adults, we don't even have the chance to be lazy anymore..."
While reminiscing, Gustavo casually accepted a raid-type mission and left the fortress.
Ring ring! Ring ring!
Deep within his soul, the [Warning Bell of Fate] rang out with a clear sound and emitted Mist of Fate, obscuring Gustavo's Fortune and causal existence to a certain extent.
In addition, the talent [Utterly Sincere Mind] was also activated. This seemingly useless talent, which had ridiculously high prerequisites, became a top-tier talent ability for Gustavo.
A pure heart?!
Isn't that something that can be done very easily?
Check out Logo's waste decomposition plant!
Under the influence of his talent, certain blurry images flashed before Gustavo's eyes.
An assassin lurking in the shadows, dragon wings that blot out the sky, and a terrifying aura that flashes by in an instant...
"Dragon Clan, were you waiting for me all along? As expected, the Star-Forging Dragon King holds a grudge. You petty bastard, all I did was destroy your dragon's lair! You're not even dead, is it really worth it?"
Gustavo pursed his lips but didn't stop walking. He knew this battle was unavoidable; both sides wanted him to fight. Since that was the case, then so be it.
Since you don't want me to be steady, then I'll show you what it's like to be crazy!
Shadow Continent.
It belongs to the category of celestial bodies in the Void.
In a narrow sense, the so-called Void celestial bodies do not include planes.
Its lower limit is lower than the plane of existence, and it includes the weakest Void bodies, such as meteors that streak across the Void, broken islands, and land fragments.
Powerful examples include the Staphis Continent in the Prado Universe System, whose size is comparable to an ordinary plane, Treacherous Destruction Continent, whose size is comparable to a large plane.
However, even the strongest Void celestial bodies cannot compare with the three super planes, meaning that the upper limit of Void celestial bodies is low, and the lower limit is even lower.
Furthermore, from the perspective of living beings, the Void celestial bodies are also vastly different from planes.
Species that can survive on celestial bodies in the Void are almost all Transcendent life forms.
The life forms within this plane are mostly mortal.
Take the Shadow Continent that Gustavo just arrived in as an example. It floats alone in the boundless Void, with no light source around it, and it is pitch black. Below, there seems to be a liquid-like shadow flowing, which is eerie and terrifying. Dense dark elemental and Void Energy gather on this continent, creating countless dark-type Transcendent life forms and various types of resources.
The Transcendent vision of Transcendent beings allows creatures living on the Shadow Continent to live freely even in absolute darkness, and most of these creatures do not even have eyes.
The Shadow Continent is rich in a Transcendent resource called "Gloomy Glazed Glass," which is highly valuable and has been repeatedly contested by the Dragon-Hunting Spider and the Dragon Clan.
Currently, most of the Shadow Continent is in the hands of the Dragon Clan. Gustavo's mission is to launch a surprise attack on the Dragon Clan ' central fortress and uproot it.
The task is simple and straightforward.
After briefly assessing the strength of the Dragon Clan on the Shadow Continent, Gustavo decided to temporarily set aside his thoughts and just go for it!
The Dragon Clan fortress known as Molten Mountain stands on the earth, billowing black smoke from the giant chimney at the top of the fortress. Below, countless natives of the Shadow Continent Dominator Dragon Clan warriors, digging deep underground for "Gloomy Glazed Glass." Every moment, lives are lost, and then casually tossed into a giant pit by the Dragon Clan sentinels nearby.
The giant crater, which was originally a thousand meters deep and seven or eight hundred meters in diameter, was filled in by the Shadow Natives in less than half a month.
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, a sudden heat rose from all directions. Many weak Shadow Natives screamed and rolled around. Under the scorching flames, wisps of grayish-white smoke rose from their bodies, and within seconds, they turned into dry, motionless corpses.
The groups of Shadow Natives beside them had numb expressions; they were already used to this kind of thing. While dodging the whips that could be lashed out at any moment, they mechanically followed the long line forward. Whether death or Hell lay ahead was none of their concern.
Whew~
The giant fire dragon swooped down, spewing out a thick, fiery breath. Countless corpses in the giant pit were instantly ignited and turned to Ashes at a visible speed. Before long, the giant pit was empty again.
The fire dragon let out a triumphant roar, spread its wings and soared into the sky, while behind it, desiccated corpses fell like raindrops and were thrown into the giant pit.
A five-meter-tall dragon warrior carried hundreds of corpses to the front of the giant pit and threw them with force.
Boom!!
A deafening tremor and a deafening roar echoed outwards, startling the dragon warrior who hastily retreated. What was causing such a commotion?
Boom!!
Another loud bang.
The dragon warrior hurriedly turned around to look, his pupils immediately shrinking.
A mushroom cloud, black with red undertones, rose slowly before him, a hurricane sweeping up countless plumes of dust, like a mighty, world-destroying tidal wave, instantly engulfing half of the fortress.
And this is just the beginning.
Shift your gaze upwards.
The sky above, at some unknown time, was now filled with firelight.
Hundreds of meteors, trailing streams of fire stretching for hundreds of miles, crashed to the ground under the repeated acceleration of the gravitational field.
Along with it, the fire dragon that had spread its wings and soared high also fell, but by this time, the fire dragon had already been reduced to pieces under the bombardment of the meteor tide.
"Enemy attack!!"
The alarm blared, but was quickly drowned out by the rumbling vibrations.
The fortress is ruled by a shadow Dragon Clan named Bartopa, Peak Demigod. With the help of the environment of the Shadow Continent, his combat power can be increased by 40% to 50%.
However, Bartopa, who had just climbed out of the fortress, had an unprecedentedly solemn expression. His two vertical pupils were almost the size of pinpoints and were trembling violently, like the earth being Destruction by a meteorite.
Following his gaze, one could see a spiderweb, stretching across the sky and covering the earth, omnipresent and visible everywhere, revealed amidst the shimmering starlight above the heavens and above the meteorites.
On the spiderweb, a Dragon-Hunting Spider, its size comparable to an ordinary star, stared at him silently with its eerie green eyes, as if... it were looking at a delicious delicacy.
