Chapter 723: Don't Think About Pretending to Be the Only Light in the Void
Everyone looked at each other. This sounded strange. Ang could help it give birth to a child? How to give birth?
"It's just giving birth to a child. I carry the eggs myself, but I've never been able to give birth to them. But being stared at by his eyes, I have a feeling that I'm about to give birth. Such a strange feeling, are you able to help me give birth to a child?" The Iron-Scaled Scavenger asked.
Anthony understood a little. He pulled Ang and Nai Ge Li Si over and whispered: "Gaze of Conception."
Nai Ge Li Si was shocked: "You mean, the Gaze of Conception of the Harvest Goddess caused it to want to give birth?"
"Yes, the Gaze of Conception can increase the probability of conception. But there is only one Iron-Scaled Scavenger, and I don't even know if it's male or female. How can there be a feeling of wanting to give birth?" Anthony asked suspiciously.
Nai Ge Li Si said proudly: "You don't understand this. If it is a slug-like creature, it should be hermaphroditic. Theoretically, it can't conceive by itself, so it needs to find another Iron-Scaled Scavenger like it. Maybe it's because of the Gaze of Conception that it broke this limit."
"Hermaphroditic?" Anthony was shocked. He wasn't a zoologist, so he didn't have any concept of this, but he knew: "However... do Ancient Gods need to mate to give birth?"
Nai Ge Li Si called the Starfire Goddess over and asked curiously: "Do you Ancient Gods need to mate to give birth..."
Before the words were finished, she was pushed by the shy Starfire: "Oh, why do you ask such questions, so embarrassing."
Nai Ge Li Si, who was pushed away and broke its limbs, didn't dare to ask Starfire again, and found the Little Demon King to ask.
"You mean inheriting bloodline? I inherit bloodline like this," the Little Demon King said. After speaking, he released blood mist and asked Ang for a handful of grass to throw into the blood mist.
I saw the grass and the small animals in the grass were quickly polluted by the blood mist, twisted and struggled. Some exploded directly, some changed their forms, and some bloomed with bright flowers, turning from ordinary grass into man-eating grass.
Ang poked the man-eating grass curiously. The man-eating grass immediately burst out sharp thorns, pricked it first, and the stems and leaves rolled back. If it was pricked, the animal would immediately be poisoned and go into shock, and then be wrapped by the stems and leaves until it died.
The Little Demon King's bloodline inheritance creates pollution. Asking Galite and Dimali again, they found that they had never given birth and didn't know how to give birth.
"Then how were you born? Don't know either? Humans are born by humans, elves are born by elves—what? Elves are not born by elves? Are they born by trees? Your first generation of Void Elves were grown on trees?" Nai Ge Li Si was shocked.
Aishkelis, who was called over, said: "Yes, our Void Elves were grown on trees. There are many elf seeds preserved in the Forbidden Land. Only when there is no other way will we mate and give birth."
"It's really a mess." Nai Ge Li Si didn't care anymore. The void is really a mess. Even the way of giving birth is not unified.
Demons are bloodline pollution reproduction, Void Elves are asexual and sexual reproduction coexisting, Saya is fission reproduction, then Iron-Scaled Scavenger self-conception doesn't seem to be anything to be surprised about.
"In that case, Ang can really help it give birth to a child. Should we help it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.
Anthony asked hesitantly: "I remember snails can give birth to many at a time, right? If it gives birth to thousands at a time, is the Chaos Plane enough for them to gnaw?"
"Hiss—" Nai Ge Li Si took a breath: "Thousands? With its body size, let alone thousands, even dozens would be enough to gnaw the Chaos Plane. By the way, is there only one Iron-Scaled Scavenger in the Chaos Plane?"
The Starfire Goddess said: "Should be. Anyway, I've only seen one. Since the World Tree withered, it has often been sleeping and rarely comes out."
"Rarely comes out? Sleeping? Why? Is it because food decreased after the World Tree withered, so it often sleeps?" Anthony asked.
"Should be. I'm not very clear either. It's too hard, so we generally won't provoke it," the Starfire Goddess said awkwardly.
Anthony thought for a while and changed the way of asking: "Let me ask this way, is this Iron-Scaled Scavenger a 'good' Ancient God?"
Good? Bad? Nai Ge Li Si looked at Anthony in surprise. A thousand-year-old god-stick, why would he use such a simple standard to divide Ancient Gods? Has he become naive?
Unexpectedly, the Starfire Goddess immediately said: "Good Ancient God, absolutely a good Ancient God. Look, it can't even bear to kill the parasitic creatures on its body, and wants to find protection for them. I have never heard of the Iron-Scaled Scavenger harming any creature, not even ordinary creatures."
"Ah? So kind? Then why does it have such a fierce name? Scavenger, I thought it was clean wherever it went, leaving no one behind," Nai Ge Li Si was surprised.
The Starfire Goddess was stunned: "It's because it does cleaning for the World Tree, and the moss is gnawed clean wherever it goes, so it's called a scavenger."
Alright, it was a misunderstanding. This is a harmless, kind Ancient God.
"However, its request should be forgotten. It can give birth to thousands of eggs at a time. This kind of behemoth, how can the Chaos Plane afford to raise it?" Nai Ge Li Si said.
"Hmm, let it change a request and see if there is a possibility of exchange. But this reminds us that the lord's Gaze of Conception should be in high demand in the Chaos Plane. There should be quite a few creatures like the scavenger that want to give birth but can't. Should we open an infertility treatment clinic?"
Nai Ge Li Si slapped its waist: "I told him to open it long ago, but he didn't listen. Otherwise, Bruske would be the first to come for treatment. The dragons have been crazy about wanting to give birth. Fortunately, they found a distant relative on the God Wood Continent, otherwise the dragons would have gone extinct."
Don't look at the fact that there are only sixty or seventy dragons on the God Wood Continent, but they have the advantage of distant blood ties, and the range of adaptability is wider. At least the Silver Dragon Yolanda doesn't have to pick a partner among her cousins.
But this is not a long-term solution after all. With the current birth rate of the dragons, if the success rate is not improved, it won't take tens of thousands of years before they fall into the crisis of extinction again.
Anyway, Ang's territory is so big now, it's not a problem for the number of dragons to double again. At worst, let them go plow, burn, sow, fertilize, and spray pesticides. Aerial sowing and fertilizing should be quite efficient.
"Cough cough!" Seeing that the topic was off, Anthony hurriedly pulled it back and asked Starfire: "By the way, you just said parasitic creatures, are they the buildings on its scales? What creatures live there? Do Apostles of Divine Light refer to these?"
Starfire shook her head: "I don't know if they are Apostles of Divine Light, but parasitism refers to the creatures in those buildings. They took advantage of the Iron-Scaled Scavenger's sleep to live there. The Iron-Scaled Scavenger woke up and couldn't drive them away. Maybe they thought you were the 'light' of the Eternal Divine Light, and wanted to 'return' them to you."
"This..." Anthony didn't know what to say. This Iron-Scaled Scavenger is too kind. How could it not be able to drive them away? Just slap one-tenth of them to death in front of everyone, and all the creatures would be scared away.
Forget it, anyway, they have to be received. Ask first. If it can't help it give birth to a child, then helping it receive those creatures can be considered as showing respect for a kind Ancient God.
After the discussion, Anthony turned to the Iron-Scaled Scavenger and said: "We don't know if we can help you give birth to a child for the time being. This kind of divine skill consumes too much power. Let's look at the Apostles of Divine Light you mentioned first. Can you let one of their representatives come over? Let's chat first."
"Oh, right. Consumption is too high. I only thought about you being able to help me give birth to a child, but didn't think about how much consumption it would take for me to give birth to a child. This kind of consumption must be very large. I'll go find power suitable for you later. Can't let you consume in vain." While speaking, the main body of the Iron-Scaled Scavenger moved.
I saw the front end of the soft part pushing the scale, moving smoothly to Ang's front, and then quickly shrinking back.
It didn't feel like it from a distance, but after getting close, I realized how big this scale was. It was at least ten kilometers long, five kilometers wide, and five hundred meters thick, heavy and hard, emitting a metallic luster.
However, such a scale was just a very ordinary one on the Iron-Scaled Scavenger's shell. Similar scales were stacked layer by layer, one on top of another, covering its whole body.
No wonder Starfire had to admit that her World-Destroying Starfire couldn't hit it. With this kind of five-hundred-meter-thick steel plate, how could ordinary people hit it?
In front of this scale, the round Big Demon King was just a thin-shelled walnut.
On this scale, several buildings that seemed to grow on the scale stood there, integrated with the scale. Many humans were peeking out from the windows and doors of these buildings.
On the tallest tower, a female human was shouting something, but it was blocked, and her voice couldn't come out.
Until the scale moved to Ang's front, the Iron-Scaled Scavenger removed the block, and the female human's voice immediately spread: "You are not the light of the Eternal Divine Light, we don't know you, you impostors, don't think about deceiving Big Iron-Scale, you blasphemers of divine light, don't think about pretending to be the only light in the void, you are despicable, shameless, liars!" ===== CHAPTER 724 =====
