Chapter 239

Two years later.

Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

In that huge circular "hatching pool" with a diameter of over a hundred meters, special lava shining with blood-red light was stirring slowly like a living thing.

And at its very center, a huge pitch-black figure was slowly taking shape.

Jie Ming stood at the edge of the hatching pool, looking at the ferocious black giant slowly rising from the hatching pool through a transparent high-strength energy observation shield, revealing an almost obsessed satisfied expression in his eyes.

The transformed Lava Giant was pitch-black all over, and that pitch-black surface was exceptionally smooth, reflecting no luster at all.

Looking at it, it was as if the entire body was completely wrapped in a layer of black metal.

Even its pair of huge eyes were of a pure pitch-black color without any reflection.

But if you looked closely, you would find that its black skin was not a static solid.

That layer of "black metal" was like living liquid, in a state of subtle, irregular flow on its body surface at all times.

Its entire body, although looking very stable, was actually moving subtly in all parts of its body surface.

The most eerie thing was that it was clearly bathing in scorching lava that could melt steel, yet it was emanating biting cold air to its surroundings from beginning to end!

Jie Ming was very satisfied with this scene in front of him.

The black giant transformed in front of him almost perfectly met his initial design concept!

However, just then, the black giant that had just taken shape and still appeared somewhat sluggish suddenly struggled and moved violently!

Its pair of giant eyes without any emotion turned slowly, and then nailed its gaze firmly on Jie Ming, this "creator"!

—It had lost control!

Jie Ming just frowned slightly when he saw this, without any panicked emotions.

This situation was within his expectations.

It was perfectly normal for a brand-new, powerful creation to produce some primitive wildness at the beginning of its birth.

He just casually clicked a few times on the floating terminal light screen beside him and recorded a memo: 【Next time, remember to strengthen the soul and mental control means of the newly transformed species.】

"Roar!!!"

Accompanied by a roar full of tyrannical aura, the black giant jumped out of that scorching hatching pool abruptly!

Its massive body carried an unparalleled sense of oppression, rolling up scorching lava and cold cold air, and launched an attack on Jie Ming!

And Jie Ming, after seeing this scene, instead laughed.

"Good! This is a perfect opportunity to personally test the combat power and specific state of this thing."

Thus, he also removed the observation shield in front of him without hesitation.

The black giant looked huge and heavy, but its movements were agile to an exaggerated degree!

Even Jie Ming now could only barely see a series of blurred afterimages produced by high-speed movement when facing this black giant!

Bang—!

Before he could make any reaction, he had just built an energy protective shield in front of him when he was hit heavily by a heavy iron fist from the other party!

His whole person was instantly blasted away by that massive impact force that was hard to imagine!

"Interesting!"

Jie Ming stabilized his figure in mid-air and started the "acceleration" wizardry tool without hesitation.

After strengthening his reaction speed with "acceleration," Jie Ming could finally keep up with the other party's ghostly movement trajectory.

Flying in the vast mid-air of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, looking at the black giant rushing toward him like a black cannonball again below, Jie Ming even had the mind to silently evaluate its situation in his mind:

"Not bad—looking at this astonishing acceleration speed, it indeed perfectly inherited the innate time talent ability of the Yeti." He moved his heart and actively removed all protective shields in front of him, the muscles of his right arm bulged instantly, and he wrapped himself in a layer of condensed energy.

Boom—!

Two fists of completely disproportionate sizes slammed together fiercely!

The black giant was not just powerful in strength.

The moment the two fists touched, a violent chill that almost froze the soul was transmitted from the contact surface of the fist to Jie Ming's whole body!

At that moment, he felt his blood was about to freeze!

Because of this sudden extreme cold, his body appeared stiff for a moment, and his actions were severely hindered!

And because of this short moment of stiffness, Jie Ming couldn't make any effective resistance at all!

"Grass!"

Bang!

The next second, he was hit solidly in the face by the other party's follow-up iron fist!

Directly hitting him so that he flew backward again like a broken kite!

Splash!

This time, Jie Ming crashed directly into the artificial surging sea of lava on the side.

Jie Ming crawled out of the scorching lava in a sorry state.

He felt the burning pain on his face, couldn't help but grin and rub his face, and summarized again in his heart: "Strength is not bad, this outrageous chill—it seems its ability to absorb heat is even more exaggerated than I expected!"

Up to now, Jie Ming was very satisfied with the performance of the black giant.

Why did this black giant still emanate a chilling cold in the scorching lava pool?

And why was it not affected by the high temperature of the outside world at all?

Because, in essence, it was not "emanating" cold, but was frantically "absorbing" all heat from the surrounding environment!

There are two mainstream ways to create "cold" in the Wizarding World.

One is to enable powers related to elements like frost and death to actively "release" cold energy.

The other is to follow the law of conservation of energy, like Jie Ming's previous life, by "absorbing" the heat of the outside world to passively create low-temperature areas.

The reason why this black giant had such an eerie performance was because its essence was still a "Lava Giant."

The heat contained inside it was extremely high, like a small sun walking.

And that "hybrid engine" transformed from the cores of the Yeti and the Lava Giant was absorbing all heat from the outside world continuously!

Even "light," a wave containing energy, was absorbed by it for the most part.

So its skin looked like pure black that could swallow all light!

And being able to do this all relied on two most core technologies.

One is the heat extraction technology and energy cycle of the "water system." This came from Jie Ming's analysis of that wisp of "water element origin."

The other is the energy property transformation technology of the "fire system," which he researched when he was studying Lava Giants before.

So, the design of this black giant itself was quite insidious.

Because when facing an enemy who knew nothing about it, the other party saw the chill all over this black giant, and according to normal combat thinking, they would definitely choose "fire" attribute attacks to restrain it without hesitation.

But in fact, any fire attribute attack to it would only turn into efficient charging!

And when the enemy suffered a loss and reacted, intending to use "water" attribute, or frost attribute to create low temperature for attack.

That special ability brought by the "fire system" energy transformation technology could let the black giant still be able to absorb the energy released in that chill!

Even for others, such as lightning, or pure energy impact, the vast majority of their energy would also be absorbed by its special body surface that was like a "black hole"!

The combat style that could truly restrain this guy should be choosing the same "absorbing heat" method to compete with it for energy in the external environment.

Making its energy consumption increase significantly!

Or, using the purest physical kinetic energy attack!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, the intense battle was still continuing.

Jie Ming, while relying on his agile skills and rich combat experience to have a thrilling duel with this black giant, was still constantly summarizing its situation:

"The immunity degree to energy attacks is extremely strong! It can even be said that most conventional energy attacks can only charge it!"

"The effect of combining the two talents of Yeti and Lava Giant is much better than I expected!"

"The massive energy reserve that the Lava Giant naturally has, although somewhat weakened in this guy, its own stored energy, plus the ability to absorb power from the outside world continuously, still made its energy reserve exaggerated to the extreme!"

"And this massive energy can also let the Yeti's time talent exert the greatest effect!"

Although it wouldn't reach the point where the two races cooperated back then on the Flame Frost Plane, becoming so powerful that it formed an absolute domain of "time stop" in the surroundings.

However, this "black giant" could also rely on massive energy support to perform super acceleration of its own time,

While releasing a force field around its body that could slow down the flow of time in the outside world on a small scale!

So, even though both were only at the Tier 2 level, in Jie Ming's normal state without using his full power, he couldn't even see the specific actions of this black giant!

Finally, after spending quite a bit of effort, Jie Ming finally beat this black giant to the ground completely.

"Although the theoretical weakness is physical attack, it still retains the extremely high resistance of elemental life to physical damage—hitting it made my hands tired..."

Looking at the creation lying on the ground still roaring in unwillingness, Jie Ming was exceptionally satisfied.

The super high speed brought by the time domain, coupled with its own special nature of near-total energy immunity and energy absorption,

It can be said without exaggeration that this black giant has a great possibility of causing a "first-sight kill" even when facing a formal wizard of the same level.

"Then, it's time to give you a name." Jie Ming walked toward the black giant lying on the ground.

According to the official naming rules of the Wizarding Civilization, the name of this brand-new creation should be called: "Energy-absorbing type · Time-sequence disorder · Elemental hybrid life form."

Jie Ming felt this name was simply too complicated to say.

Moreover, it was also very easy to directly expose the intelligence of this black giant.

Jie Ming thought for a moment, reached out, and summoned the floating terminal beside him.

Opened the light screen and entered a brand-new name for it.

【Codename: Black Giant!】
