Chapter 2783
Creating an Apollo requires consuming 500 mana points; fortunately, Su Xiao has ample time.
During this period, aside from crafting Apollo, he also plans to let the Flame Demon advance again, preparing to use the Flame Demon's trait to produce elite individuals.
The Flame Demon's structure is actually simple: magma + lava + flame ability form its body, then a Gray Beastman soul is injected inside, activated by a special method, plus sleeping in magma for about one year, after which a Flame Demon awakens.
Agamemnon chose the Gray Beastman's soul because he understands them better, which helps him control the Flame Demon army.
With Su Xiao's alchemy level, merely sensing the Flame Demon's composition allows him to interpret it.
The true wonder is not Agamemnon's method of awakening Flame Demons, but the flame energy of the Land of Burning Fire, which has the property of 'life', though to some extent, the properties of withering and burning are more pronounced.
Mastering this powerful flame energy generally leads to two development paths: one is immense vitality + flame that burns everything, i. e., life + ultra-high temperature development.
The other development path is more traditional: withering + burning, first causing the enemy's body to wither, then burning it.
Not long ago, Su Xiao obtained an equipment named 【Withering Misfortune】, whose effect is withering + burning.
Those known to wield this flame power are Duo Yin Wang and Agamemnon; Su Xiao believes Duo Yin Wang possesses it because the opponent's first impression is too strong, that feeling of burning everything is intensely powerful.
That old fellow Duo Yin Wang has likely lived who knows how many years; his ability should be immense vitality + burning everything, excessive vitality prolonging life, though not reaching immortality, lifespan would still be astonishing.
Su Xiao even suspects the Duo Yin Empire has never changed kings, always that old fellow; if true, Duo Yin Wang would be far harder to deal with than Agamemnon.
Agamemnon's rise is a recent matter; his ability is withering + burning, and given Su Xiao's position in the Chaos Legion, this is no secret to him.
As for Duo Yin Wang, heaven knows how many years that old fellow has lived; earlier, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang saw a message on the World Contact Platform: the Gray Gentleman fought Duo Yin Wang, resulting in the Gray Gentleman withdrawing from Duo Yin, now going to harass the Lizard Tribe—poor Lizard Tribe.
Many clues indicate it's uncertain whether Duo Yin Wang or Agamemnon is the strongest in this world, but regardless, Agamemnon is currently sealed, suffering eternal darkness, while Duo Yin Wang rules the central continent—an undeniable fact.
Su Xiao temporarily ignores these; enhancing Flame Demon combat power is now key; his idea is to use vast magma plus alchemy arrays to fuse hundreds of Flame Demons into one, creating a colossal Flame Demon or flame giant.
Currently, Hei Rong City extracts magma from underground for this purpose; only three days remain, and how many flame giants can be made depends on circumstances.
Su Xiao rose and came to the temporary test platform, began processing materials; shortly after, a fireball two meters in diameter appeared, floating in midair, its color bright to the point of being dazzling.
The fireball rapidly compressed; shortly after, it became fist-sized, floating in midair, resembling a miniature sun.
The sleeping Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahamut suddenly sprang up from the bed|and cabinet, their expressions innocent yet bewildered.
Soon after, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahamut slipped into the adjacent room to continue sleeping, leaving only Amu still snoring; this fellow has a big heart—don't mention creating Apollo near him, even kicking him won't wake him, unless a strange scent approaches.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed; these two days were quite lively, as the Northern Frontier continuously saw three new kings and two lords emerge, fighting over territory so fiercely they could barely disengage, the fiercest struggle being for Winter City.
Besides the new kings and lords, the Northern Frontier also saw a horde of 'Wild Wang Zu', all claiming to be direct descendants of the Extreme Ice Lord; colloquially, the Extreme Ice Lord is their wild|father.
These Wild Wang Zu have many supporters; such puppets naturally attract many willing to court them.
More interestingly, the barbarian tribes, long subjected to explosive blows, actually intend to intervene in the Northern Frontier's internal strife.
Upon hearing this, the Dwarf Tribe was enraged; indeed, the Dwarf Tribe, seemingly unrelated to the Northern Frontier, now stepped forward to condemn the barbarian tribes' shameless conduct.
The barbarian tribes were furious, leading to an imminent clash with the Dwarf Tribe, reportedly heading toward a decisive battle, but thunder roared while rain drops were few.
The barbarian tribe vs. dwarf tribe conflict had not yet fully erupted, already battered; the Elf Tribe, leaning on crutches, could no longer sit still.
The Elf Queen denounced the Northern Frontier, barbarian tribes, and Dwarf Tribe's actions, then mobilized all remaining troops to attack her neighbors, the Lizard Tribe.
Indeed, please don't laugh—just go attack the Lizard Tribe; the Lizard Tribe, lying down and taking a bullet, nearly died of anger, immediately gathered forces to counterattack the Elf Tribe.
Barbarian Tribe vs. Dwarf Tribe, Elf Tribe vs. Lizard Tribe—absurd? No, these are all clever people; they know the world is about to change, and the two hegemons of the Canglong Continent are about to launch a great decisive battle.
As mid-sized powers, the Elf Tribe, Lizard Tribe, etc., each found an 'opponent'; in truth, they worry whether Duo Yin and the Chaos Legion will, before war erupts, purge all powers except the Northern Frontier, then proceed with the great decisive battle, to avoid post-war weakness being exploited by other forces.
Rather than wait to be purged, they chose to first find an 'opponent'; actually, this is seeking allies, banding together to avoid being purged.
The Barbarian Tribe, Dwarf Tribe, Elf Tribe, and Lizard Tribe four factions have already banded together; they mutually erupt in 'war', actually just displaying strength, meaning they are not to be trifled with.
Aside from these external reports, Su Xiao also received much good news; at present, within Hei Rong City, the number of flame giants has reached 3,400.
Do not underestimate these flame giants; their height exceeds 12 meters; every hundred Flame Demons plus vast magma, combined with the reshaping via alchemy arrays, can birth one flame giant.
3,400 flame giants require 340,000 Flame Demons to be reshaped; the Gray Beastman souls within the flame giants have dissipated; each flame giant is controlled by three Snake-People Tribe members at its neck rear, thus no longer needing Gray Beastman souls for sustenance.
These flame giants are pure war weapons; the Snake-People Tribe's first appearance on the frontline battlefield holds extraordinary significance for them, their status to rise significantly.
Chuyang rose at the horizon; morning six o'clock, Su Xiao received a prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise, his main quest second ring completed.
