It's obvious that both sides use their ultimate moves when they meet.
One came up and used all the means that could destroy the world, and destroyed 99.% of all living things.
One came and wanted to summon the demon king.
but.
I asked you to evolve into bones, flesh and blood, and a core of power... How could I come if you forcefully pretend to merge like this?
Li Qing smiled and said nothing. Do you fools like you really think that Herodotus is a freeloader?
as expected.
The structure of the World Tree at the top has been specially adjusted. A thick branch has already grown, and a glass cylindrical pendulum hangs on it, ready for use at any time.
"put!"
Herodotus raised his hand on the tree and looked at the three masters of the abyss, "I don't know what they are doing, but it seems to be some evil ritual, so I stopped them directly."
boom.
The entire glass pendulum dropped directly.
The next moment, it hit the trinity of four different figures hard.
The Skeleton Lord and the Slime Lord were too hard and the other was too soft, so there was no damage. The Demon Dragon was half crispy, and the mantis shrimp shell was smashed in an instant, and the juice overflowed.
clang!
The glass cylinder deflected after hitting the three masters, knocking on the silver steel wall of the back room, making a crisp sound.
"Very good, pull up!"
Standing on a thick green branch of the World Tree, Herodotus waved his hand again, and the entire pendulum was pulled up, about to be released again.
"so amazing!"
"As expected of Your Majesty!"
When the gods saw this scene, they couldn't help but look happy.
Now, in this small laboratory world, they not only rely on physical evolution, but also began to learn to use weapons.
"This is divine punishment, the hammer of King Herodotus!"
When a wise man saw this scene, he excitedly complimented from the tree: "The gods are watching everything from the sky, and they may send down divine punishment at any time and fall to the earth."
Li Qing looked a little dumbfounded.
In this era of cold weapons, it is indeed a space-based weapon in the sky.
However, Li Qing only found it interesting.
But little did they know that in later generations, people often used the mythical story of the ancient elves "Herodotus' Hammer", a hammer in the sky that hangs overhead and falls all the time, to express the ever-present uneasiness and danger.
"Put it back!"
With a command, the entire pendulum fell again.
This time I was prepared and did not hit the three abyss lords, but I still hit a large number of skeleton soldiers who were unable to dodge. These black skeleton soldiers made of rough black beetles fell down one after another.
"Retreat, start retreating!"
Following the order, the Abyss World side finally felt that something was wrong and began to retreat.
After an initial collision, both sides began to hold on to their forward positions, and this ended.
And on the World Tree.
The gods couldn't help but start cheering.
They felt that it was definitely right to stick to the forward position, and this was a great victory.
but.
Herodotus looked worried, "There is a wise man in the abyss civilization, and he is testing us."
"Your Majesty, why do you say that?" Minis asked curiously.
They clearly had a great victory.
Herodotus shook his head, "When they attack, we block the passage to the world, so we have a huge advantage...and when we attack them, we must imitate our blockade on the other side and establish a defensive front, so as to defeat the small with more, what should we do?"
"
When the gods thought about it, it was indeed so.
This is a natural danger that only one man can overcome and no one can escape.
It can only accommodate a dozen warriors passing through at the same time, but there are hundreds of warriors on the opposite side.
"Then we don't have to fight." Minnis felt that he should focus on defense. After all, he has a conservative character.
"If we delay, we will lose."
Herodotus sat on the throne at the top of the world, looked at the thousands of gods in front of him, and said: "What they want is development time. Haven't you noticed?"
"There are obviously wise men on the other side. The primitive single cells on their side, after gaining resistance to poison, basically devoured a large number of their fellow humans who had just been poisoned and turned into integrated consciousness."
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but start discussing.
"The single cells that just died should be okay, but why are they so bold? Those are the highly poisonous corpses of our compatriots. How dare they absorb and contain them and turn them into brains?"
"It's really bold! Even if they develop anti-toxicity, absorbing poisonous corpses will turn the brain into a highly toxic substance."
"No wonder, no wonder! Most of the lives in the abyss that I saw just now have the smell of rot and pus, and have splitting headaches, and are manic and violent!"
"It seems that despite the side effects, they have to forcibly become integrated consciousness, and are not willing to lose 99% of their kind."
The gods held their breath.
The beings in the abyss world are now equivalent to practicing peerless poison skills with the divine wood king tripod, and their racial characteristics are very obvious.
Moreover, these poisons were the forest curse placed by their elves, which turned them all into poisonous and gloomy monsters.
I'm just afraid that the life in the abyss will completely hold a grudge and be at odds with their elves.
And this is indeed in the hereafter.
It is recorded in the first chapter "The Birth of the Abyss" in "Chronicles of the Abyss".
[After the Attabias ate the forbidden fruit, the endless fear of Paradise Lost made Herodotus realize that he had original sin, one-third god and two-thirds devil. He worked as an ascetic all the way and repented of his sins
, coming to the end of the east, there is a clean glass ocean bathed in sunshine.】
[This is the bottomless valley in the sea, where all the waters gather. Here he led his people to repent, shed painful tears, and let go of their original sins. 】
[Since then, the Atabians have become a peace-loving and holy natural elves, but their filth has cast a vicious curse on this holy and pure sea water.]
[The fading malignancy turned into a bottomless abyss, the kind and pure creatures inside turned into violent demon species, the ugly demons in the abyss, and the eternal curse turned themselves into such elves. 】
...
At this time, above the World Tree.
"They survived the poison and even turned into the poison itself. Even we are afraid of their rotten green poisonous blood."
Herodotus said: "But their harvest was huge. The number of our mass extinctions is far less than we imagined, because each of them absorbed more than 20,000 brains of the same race, and now there are two million integrated ones."
The gods of the abyss of consciousness!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The faces of the elves and gods suddenly changed drastically.
There are only more than 7,000 of them, but the difference in number is still too big!
The other party obviously has an extremely smart black hand who is pushing everything and strategizing, putting them under great pressure.
"Your Majesty's analysis is reasonable. Their attack is for various tests, not for victory at all."
"They know that we have advanced technology and are ready to learn our defensive skills, so they took the initiative to attack. Now they are afraid of going back and copying them."
The gods were furious.
Fortunately, they still think that they have achieved great success with Herodotus' Hammer, and they are so proud of it. Who knows that they are simply sending technology to others!
No matter how you defend yourself, they will learn how to defend from you.
It's shameless.
"Your Majesty, we suggest an immediate counterattack."
They immediately sent human soldiers to explore through the tunnel.
As a result, as soon as I emerged from the tunnel, I saw a slime wrapped in rocks and hit me in the face.
The human race that passed through the tunnel was turned into flesh.
They don't have tree branches, but the slime is very elastic. It can stick to the wall like a snail, make a slingshot catapult, and bombard the entrance.
The gods were immediately furious.
These primitive and simple cells have a very low-level and rough civilization, but they are really copied!
even.
They also have skeletons surrounding the entrance, imitating human soldiers. In the distance, there are mantis shrimps acting as elf archers. If they don't have bows and arrows, they just throw small stones.
"Hahaha, what a plagiarism genius."
Li Qing found it so interesting. Looking at these simple lives in the abyss, "I obviously have no technical knowledge and no knowledge of the world, so I just learn all kinds of things secretly. Whatever you have, I will learn."
...But of course, a single cell is a transparent white paper, stained by the shape of its environment."
The other party's methods are simply amazing.
In a short period of time, through various calculations, various key civilizational details were obtained.
The first knowledge: integrated consciousness.
The elves and gods discovered the second stage of [Awakening] through the mass extinction of the Artabians, the accumulation of blood in the Lost Paradise, and the endless blood and tears.
The second piece of knowledge: reaction speed is the basis of biological evolution.
And realizing this is when the elven civilization accumulated various creation technologies and built the human race.
The third knowledge:
Just use tools.
Don't think this pendulum is simple.
Newly born babies don’t even know why the apple fell. Naturally, they don’t know this defense mode and just copy it right before their eyes.
"It's troublesome."
Li Qing showed a hint of interest, "The achievements you have accumulated have been studied by the other party."
but.
Li Qing thought for a while and still wanted to help.
This is a biased position, you have to pull it off!
Moreover, the food cycle in the elf world is not equivalent to that in the abyss world next door.
The abyss world has just been born. All kinds of nutrients are thrown into it for free, and it has rich heritage. It has become a petri dish with sufficient energy.
And what about the elven world?
Although nutritional supplements were provided before when the soil was transformed and thrown into sandbags, the elf world has developed over the years and although it is forming its own ecological cycle, there are also large losses.
"This war is not equitable. How can we fight without funds? How can crazy life evolve? Terrorist power breaks out in the war? It's time to replenish supplies."
Li Qing issued an oracle to the holy dragons and asked them to perform a ceremony of the arrival of the gods.
——The God of Light will open a great rift in the world in the chaos outside the sky, drop supplies, and support the war in this small elf world.
