Chapter 0530 - Rodent Eradication Operation
Gazruvi's brain was running at high speed.
Everything that had happened in the first quarter of an hour looped through its mind like a replayful video.
From the time the sorceress was put down by the fire witch, to her carelessly wandering among the rays of energy in the sky, until she walked around herself and entered the crypt where the space furnace was located through the heavily guarded iron gate behind her...... The whole process is clear and intuitive, and even at first glance it seems unremarkable, and there is nothing to pay attention to.
Can...... This is a battlefield in a moment of life and death!
With Ghazruvi's extremely strengthened brain and spiritual perception that was all over the Iron Capital, how could there be such a big mistake and let a terrible witch walk around him?
This is simply something that should never happen...... But it just happened!
Even though he later relived the situation through memory, Ghazruvi still couldn't understand why he would turn such a blind eye to an enemy witch and let him enter the centerpiece.
It's not stealth, it's not visual evasion, it's not avataring...... After all, any witchcraft inevitably comes with slight fluctuations in spells. And with Ghazruvi's current spiritual power, what kind of witchcraft can hide from its spiritual perception?
Thinking about it, Ghazruvi could only blame it on the witch's natural instincts.
This witch seems to have a strange ability to turn herself into a 'transparent person', making all enemies and friends subconsciously ignore her existence. And this, just like the natural charm of succubi, the natural affinity of elves, belongs to natural instincts, and there will be no witchcraft fluctuations. Therefore, it is easy for an ignorant guy to fall into the road when he suddenly encounters it.
The giant brain that understood it immediately surged with white light, ready to instantly transfer to the space furnace and kill this strange witch by the fastest means. But just as the giant brain teleportation was about to activate, a burst of fire erupted beneath it, interrupting its movements.
Grim used the flame leap to break free from the metal tunnel and reach the side of the giant brain, where he restrained it with a large flame cage. Although the Flame Cage only existed for 3 fingers before it was overwhelmed by the sudden burst of mental ability, the Giant Brain's intention to transfer away was also shattered.
In a hurry, the giant brain angrily waved the ganglia below, and shot out a variety of colors of spiritual light.
These psychic lights are not only immediate, difficult to dodge, but also have a completely different magical effect from ordinary sorcery. If you don't let these spiritual lights hit you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to judge the effectiveness of the spell just by its appearance.
Like these psychic lights, some of them will be transformed into a curse effect similar to 'weakness' when they fall on the body, some will be transformed into a direct attack effect such as 'Psychic Whip', and some will open a portal when they fall on the clearing, directly pulling the distant subordinates to the scene......
Since transforming himself into a giant brain, this former Gazruvi has turned into a magical monster with Rank 3 strength. If it weren't for the fact that it didn't have a powerful body, and it didn't seem to be familiar with this new form of existence, I'm afraid that Grim would not be able to resist the endless spiritual abilities and the steady stream of reinforcements even if he tried his best.
Under the almost crazy summons of the giant brain Gazruvi, portals opened one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a goblin war group of almost 200 people was pulled up in the field.
200 goblins, which may sound inconspicuous. However, if each of them were equipped with a battle weapon or goblin chariot, then this group of goblins, whose individual strength was no more than that of a junior apprentice, would be enough to make a second-order wizard like Grim temporarily retreat and avoid its edge.
Even among the goblins, Grim saw two familiar figures.
Sabrina, a mechanical wizard, and Tigur, the goblin god of war.
They seemed to have lost control of their bodies, mingling in the middle of a group of goblins, and unleashed wave after wave of fierce attacks on Grim. Sabrina, in particular, not only fired all the firepower, but also took out the wizard-level golem growler that Grim had traded to her.
In the face of such two powerful opponents, coupled with a stormy magic weapon attack, even with Grim's strength, he could only launch frequent flame jumps to avoid being set on fire by the opponent. In between each flame jump, Grim would take the time to unleash a wide range of fire sorcery in an effort to reduce the number of goblin warbands.
And taking advantage of the gap between his subordinates entangled with Grim, the giant brain Ghazruvi finally succeeded in launching the spatial teleportation and transferred himself to the crypt where the space furnace was located.
In the massive crypt filled with thick metal pipes, countless goblin researchers in white coats were busy around a towering metal canister. They constantly inspect and maintain various goblin instruments, constantly adjust the valve size of each metal pipeline and the opening and closing of the diversion pipeline, and closely observe the energy and pressure balance in the metal tank.
Although this is not a battlefield, judging by how busy they are, they are no weaker than a thrilling battle!
On the front lines, a small mistake by a goblin warrior can lead to the loss of a life. But here, the mistake of any goblin researcher could cause the pressure of the space furnace to become unbalanced, causing a terrifying explosion like the sky and the earth cracking.
Once upon a time, the explosion of a space furnace on a floating giant ship that was more than 10 times smaller than here could cause a natural disaster within a radius of tens of kilometers. If the space furnace here exploded, the catastrophic consequences would probably be unimaginable.
However, in the midst of this busy group of goblin researchers, there was a tall and beautiful figure mixed in. She couldn't stop looking around, and from time to time she would come up to a goblin researcher and silently observe its work, looking very interested.
As for the huge tank erected in the center of the crypt, it was unremarkable in appearance, and it was connected to various pipelines of various sizes. The pipeline crossed the cavern and burrowed into the stone wall, and it was unknown where it led to the Iron City.
And at the bottom of the tank, there are still a lot of ugly patches. At first glance, one would think that this was a low-quality and simple goblin artifact, and it was difficult to associate it with the space furnace that was high above.
However, it is such a broken toy that resembles a small goblin spliced indiscriminately, but it represents the highest level of alchemy engineering attainments in the goblin plane. And it also supports the hope of the goblin plane to get rid of low-level civilization and leap to a higher level!
The metal cans in front of me look ordinary, but they are made of an extremely rare Quelas alloy. Not only is this alloy surprisingly malleable, tough, but also possessed demonic resistance properties not found in other alloys on the Goblin Plane.
If you compare its anti-magic properties with the witchcraft materials of the wizarding world, it can also rank in the top ten. This is already a rare thing for a small plane!
And even more valuable is its production.
Even if Ghazru defended his rights and leaned over the goblin empire and searched the entire goblin plane, he would only get 200 tons of Quelas ore. Quelas ore is one of the most important raw materials for the preparation of Quelas alloy. As for the space furnace in front of you, if you want to build it, you need at least 30 tons of Quelas alloy to use.
Therefore, even if the entire Goblin Empire tried its best, it could only create 6-7 space furnaces of this scale. Once the Quetra alloys are depleted and they are unable to obtain new sources of ore, the goblin level's outward expansion will only end there.
Such a high level of secrecy, even in the Gazruvi camp, is known to only a few goblins, and Cutie Lisi knows it all after walking around these goblin researchers.
However, just as Alice was pondering how to deal with this space furnace in order to maximize the benefits of the party, the blank light above the crypt hall shone, and a huge brain as large as a mountain appeared out of thin air.
As soon as the giant brain Gazruvi teleported, a dozen ganglia under his body swung towards Alice in the goblin group like octopus tentacles. Looking at the thick tentacles with a diameter of one meter waving with a whistling wind, there was no scruple at all about the performance of the goblin on Alice's side.
Ever since Ghazruvi's full consciousness was resurrected in the Giant Brain, it no longer sees itself as a goblin. These goblin researchers, engineers, alchemists, and technicians who spend their days and nights with it are nothing more than slaves that it can use quite easily. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a new servant to replace them, Ghazruvi wouldn't mind erasing these inferior creatures from his body.
Alice looked at the whistling fleshy tentacles, her beautiful brows frowned slightly, and her figure had appeared on the other side of the metal tank with a flicker. The fleshy tentacles seemed to be soft and non-threatening, but with a bang, they smashed an all-metal goblin console, and by the way, smashed the six goblin researchers around the console into meat sauce.
Seeing that the physical attack was ineffective, more than a dozen ganglia under the giant brain quickly stretched and meandered, and a series of colorful spiritual abilities hit Alice in the distance like lasers.
Although it was eager to kill the little mouse that had burrowed into its heart, it was still in a sense of proportion. More than a dozen laser beams are brushed against the edges of the metal can, and the tank will not be damaged in the slightest.
And since the mechanical wizard named Sabrina became its slave, the personal information and basic strength of each member of the opposing faction is no secret to it.
In Sabrina's memory, the Alice witch was adept at manipulating the power of fate, but she had no fighting ability of her own. And this, for the giant brain Gazruvi, is undoubtedly a great piece of good news!
Otherwise...... If you let that extremely powerful second-order fire witch burrow into the crypt hall, even if the giant brain Gazruvi defeated or killed him afterwards, I am afraid that his own damage would not be small. That's why it was eager to entangle the fire witch with the two new minions it had just taken control of, along with the rest of its men, and it took the opportunity to catch the 'little mouse' that had snuck into its heart.
A first-order witch with no combat power can indeed only be regarded as a 'little mouse' to the giant brain Gazruvi, who claims to have third-order strength!
And it's the super harmless one!
