Chapter 137: Neighbors
There are reasons for so-called coincidences, and there are never inexplicable coincidences in this world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that most people can't find the clues, so they find it difficult to understand.
Coincidence is actually an inevitable phenomenon, too many attempts or results are destined to be coincidental, and if there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a simple coincidence, it is the strangeness of fate.
When Ling Qi turned into a flame demon, he directly skipped the usual adaptation period, and there were still cognitive deviations, but the instinct of the new body could control the molten fire very well.
He tried to clothe himself with a molten armor, which was the ultimate talent of the Firedemons, but few of them were able to master it, and fortunately he had already developed his "own" racial talent to the limit when he was born.
So, everything went "normal".
Then, here's the problem, because his molten talent is too strong, because of the extra nourishment, those fragments of the molten rules that lured him into, his molten talent is probably the strongest of all the fire demons in the past. Even when Morgoth created the first Flame Demon, it was clear that he would not have the luxury of breaking into a fragment of a rule, which it probably had never comprehended itself.
Therefore, as soon as Ling Qi's molten armor was formed, it attracted too much molten slurry to adhere to, so heavy that it interfered with its normal activities, and his fire demon body could barely bear it.
Is there any point in such exaggerated armor? But the shell that was so heavy that it almost changed his form was more reliable!
When an accident happens, when he discovers that his talent is too strong to control. He suddenly thought of another natural species that was equally heavy and difficult to control itself—the Mountain Giant!
As a result, an almost crazy idea appeared, he wanted to use his Flame Demon Body and the molten fire armor outside the Fire Demon Body as the body of a mountain giant, and his Fire Demon Body and Fire Demon Brain naturally became the core that drove the molten fire armor, and he wanted to use the power of the Demon Core in the Demon Brain, supplemented by the power of the legend, to rebuild a temporary new core for the new body! Of course, this attempt was too crazy, and it was likely to make his Fire Demon Body collapse directly!
If you don't go crazy, you won't survive, and if you don't take risks, you won't gain. He succeeded, successfully copied the "power furnace" of the mountain giant, and successfully obtained an exclusive "new talent"!
His mind was filled with the power of flames that were full of vitality that was contrary to the norm, which not only allowed him to better manipulate the molten flames around him, but could even give these molten slurries a certain vitality and activate them!
Perhaps there is also an inevitability hidden in this coincidence, because the ancient fire demon was originally a weak miniature version of the monster created by Morgoth with reference to the mountain giant, and the body of the fire demon was originally between rock lava and organic matter, but compared to the mountain giant in the core full of natural light and life power, the core of the fire demon is a monstrous evil spirit. This leaves the two without any resemblance except for part of the body structure.
Light and evil, life and death were originally absolute opposites, and no one could deny that the fire demon and the mountain giant had indeed become two very different species. But sometimes light and darkness, good and evil, birth, old age, sickness and death may not be able to merge and be mixed up. The natural ecology is composed of these forces, not a one-sided derivation. Ling Qi happened to have seen the power of life and light that even darkness and evil could contain, he didn't understand the power of nature, but he had obtained a true and perhaps the last heart of the mountains.
Reconstructing the "Heart of the Mountains" in the Fire Demon's brain does not allow the Fire Demon to gain any blessings in power, as the Fire Demon has indeed become another creature that is completely different from the Mountain Giants, and their bodies are not pure flesh and blood, let alone rocks.
However, that new force has an activation effect on rocks and molten fires, and a stronger driving force for mastery, which represents too much, too much!
"Gandalf, goodbye!"
The lava troll's barely visible eyelids closed and snapped open, two deep flames.
Faced with Gandalf's deathly charge, and facing the cage of light around it, the Molten Demon did only one thing that people would never have imagined!
Rumble!!!
It blew itself up!
The Moriath Mine, which had been formed for 10,000 years, collapsed overnight...
Three days later, in the land of Kalimdor, a new family of guests settled!
Perhaps, the place where these guests settled should not be called land, because they nested in the center of the earth, in the very deep underground of the Honey Winery.
The two large, two small and four-headed Gu Yan Demons only glanced at them in front of people, and then escaped into the deep cave, which was their new home, and the scorching heat could even roast ordinary people directly.
When people learned that their feet were inhabited by the most evil and terrifying creatures of ancient times, some of them became so frightened that they even decided to leave the land, and although most of them were persuaded to become one of the watchers, a small number of them did.
After all, these people are only a very small minority, and Ling Qi did not stop them, nor did he go on a killing spree as those who had a heart thought!
After all, the power of fascination is not the impermanent power of fate, and when the population is small, it can turn all the people into marionettes. When the population is a little larger, most of the people can be transformed in turn and become obedient people. And when the population is too large, it can only become a deterrent and guarantee, and it cannot dominate everything with its own power in every change of people's hearts.
On top of that, with the steady expansion of territory, the "territory" covers less than one-third of the total number of territories, and many inherent strategies must be adjusted and changed.
With the entry of the Fire Demon, the complete entry of his own strength into the legendary stage, and his comprehensive understanding of his own nature, Ling Qi was no longer interested in those "small fights".
It is important to gather people in Middle-earth, it is the trend of the times. But if the strength is strong enough, strong enough to be as strong as Smaugo, strong enough to be stronger than Smaugo, it may not be impossible to break the momentum with force.
Force or potential is a means, not a fundamental, the fundamental is to break the situation, to move forward, to explore the true meaning of life, to evolve to a higher place. Everything else is an inevitable pedal and appendage in the process, and it is not worth caring about.
For the people, as long as there is no problem with the direction of the wind, no one dares to openly rebel, and Ling Qi is no longer so calculating, and will no longer care about their specific thoughts. This may also be because Ling Qi quickly got tired of playing with the new toy of the power of fascination.
In fact, when those people left, they did not forget to take their "slave servants" with them, and most of them only left the market town near the meadow manor, but chose to stay in Camlido and settle in other more remote places. After all, the external threat is still there, and the situation in the west of the continent is far worse than before, if much better than in the east and south. In addition to Kalimdo, there are several pure lands in the world.
In the following days, Ling Qi shifted the focus of his personal attention from the accumulation of grassroots forces to the development of high-end forces.
This includes the replication of various high-end bloodlines, the training of special fighters, and the exploration of the unknown parts of yourself!
"Devour", "Fusion", "Occupy"!
If this is really part of his "unknown" truth, then does the "truth" mean that as long as he can devour and fuse those more powerful creatures, he can become stronger and stronger unconditionally and without limits, until he is super strong?
If he could devour the fusion Smaugo, Maia, Vera, or even the One God, then...
After many attempts, Ling Qi had to give up the crazy idea of devouring the One God, as it was not realistic.
Perhaps his unknown part is indeed vast and infinite, and even the will of the plane can be devoured, but the problem is that he, as an individual and carrier, does not have the willpower to carry it at all.
He simply couldn't control the will of too strong creatures, so he could only devour mature individuals whose wills were far weaker than him, or devour those embryonic powerful creatures that had not yet formed a complete will, just as he did with the Flame Demon's Egg!
Ling Qi found that with his current legendary-level background, at most, he could devour a lower-level hero unit of the level of "Demon Witch Guard", and he still relied on the original spiritual connection between the two.
Although, at the same time, this can also allow him to obtain the ability to transform the body of the Witch Guard after the demonization, but the body structure of the "Demon Witch Guard" is far less powerful and tough than the Fire Demon. With his current background, the combat power of the incarnation of the "Demon Witch Guard" is probably less than three-thirds of that of the "Fire Demon", and perhaps this also has the effect of devouring the fragments of additional rules when devouring the Fire Demon, but it cannot be denied that the potential of the mutant species of the "Demon Witch Guard" is not comparable to the "Fire Demon", and the "Fire Demon" is the strongest combat form he can currently grasp after all.
The only thing that surprised Ling Qi this attempt was that he was able to retain more than six forms at the same time, although he was respected by the Fire Demon in terms of combat power, but in other aspects...
There is more than one fragment of the rules that he can discard!
Ling Qi wouldn't have known that there was a teammate in the distance who had already had similar abilities to him, and even took the lead in making a big profit in this plot.
He didn't even know that these two abilities, which looked exactly the same, were completely different in nature, which would cause him a little trouble in the future.
There are many abilities in this world that have similar effects, "copying", "mimesis", "pseudo-form", and there is no difference in external performance.
However, these abilities are either absorbed and changed from the genetic level, or they are visually deceived and disguised, in short, there are traces to follow, and they can find the root cause, and they can be "copied" in themselves, and they will not be exclusive abilities.
There has never been any kind of ability that forcibly "devours" and "occupies" other life forms in complete disregard of conditions, never!
Some viruses are strong enough to devour and encroach on the dragon's genes, making the host also incarnate as a dragon, which does not mean that he will completely replace the other party, because the dragon is powerful not only in genes, but also in inheritance and soul.
And the traditional seizure, in addition to having to abandon most of the accumulation of the past, also has a similar disadvantage, that is, the soul. The snatcher cannot inherit the racial heritage of the person who has been taken away, because it carries an inherent soul that is always different in frequency and form from the newborn alien soul, which is easy to identify. Unless you give up on your ego altogether and let the two become one, it is likely to become a two-pronged act, not only will the past become unrecognizable, but the future will be more difficult to predict!
Power often has a price, and power without a price should not exist in itself!
