Chapter 328: The Lair (1)
What is a demon? What does a devil's lair look like? What kind of existence is the demonic godhead?
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
In the game of the previous life, for Rod, who had not received the demonic godhead, the demon was like a dragon.
Powerful and terrifying, the lair is like a dragon's lair filled with countless huge treasures of gold, silver and jewelry, and the demon godhead is the precious heart that should stay in the demon's chest, and it is also the greatest treasure of the nest.
It's obviously a demon organ in the game, but it is placed outside the body by the demon, and the demon's lair is shaped like an invincible fortress with the creative power contained in it, rather than being incorporated into its own body, like the god in the story, making itself the supreme being.
The official reason given is that they can't exert the maximum effect on the demon's body, and even for the demon, the demon's divine power is like a chronic poison that will cause their own decay.
Even, only humans can exert a more powerful role in the demonic godhead.
Humans can wield a thousand times more power than the heart of a demon with just a small piece.
Just like the brave man who accidentally got the dragon's blood in the story, he completed the feat of slaying the dragon with this, you know, that dragon blood is as insignificant as spitting compared to the dragon, but the dragon was killed by the brave because of it.
In his previous life, Rhodes simply blamed it on the game setting.
In this life, his soul was forced to merge with the demonic godhead, and after he became one with the demonic godhead, he vaguely discovered that this was probably the reason for some kind of barrel-like effect.
The shortest plank determines how much water can be filled in the barrel.
The demon is that some planks are very long, and the other planks are very short, and they cannot develop evenly, and because the demon's divine power increases its inertia, it consumes several times the energy, but it is not as much as the growth of sleep, so it is even more reluctant to make up for those very short planks.
Similar to the chronic poison, it seems to have become stronger, but those few planks have become the Achilles' heel of the demon.
And although all the planks of human beings are short, these planks can grow at the same time and indefinitely, and as long as there is enough wood, the barrel called the human can even hold the sea.
If humans want to kill demons, they don't need all the planks to surpass the demons, as long as they can surpass the shortest plank of the demons and aim at it, and then kill with one blow, poke the shortest plank into a hole, and then drain the demon's blood and kill the demon.
And he, a human in the previous life, and an adult in this life, although he was transformed into a demon-like existence by the demon godhead, he is different from the demon, although his barrel is also different in length, but he has similar abilities to humans.
It's that these planks are able to grow indefinitely, although they can't grow at the same time, and the speed is a bit slower than that of pure-bloods, but they are indeed growing.
And now, he has to follow the example of the demon and build a lair of his own, of course, Rhodes prefers to call this place a territory.
And now, Rhodes is going to put the demonic godhead outside.
First of all, the resettlement site cannot be easily detected, so the ground must be removed first, and everything else that may be monitored must be excluded.
Beyond that, the sky and the underground, he had no ability to place in the sky, and it was neither convenient enough nor concealed enough for some beings.
Although the Demon Godhead has an automatic hiding function, as long as it wants to play a role, it will inevitably leak breath, and if it is placed in the unobstructed sky, it is likely to become a prey for some sensible beings.
Only the underground environment is complex enough, with dungeons full of all kinds of dark creatures, as well as various ores, underground rivers, and magic crystals buried deep underground.
The environment of the Northwest Desert is inhospitable, there are almost no other creatures underground, even kobolds and rat people will not be able to penetrate to a depth of two hundred meters, and their relatively fragile claws have no way to pry some stubborn stones.
This is the best place for the demonic godhead to hide.
However, the Northwest Desert is even more inhospitable than Rhodes thought, except for some dangerous areas such as underground lava, there are no too rare and valuable mineral deposits.
After a long time, the wisdom core, which is the abbreviation for the demonic godhead, finally came a hint.
[Rare mineral deposit - Black Steel Ore has been discovered, and the natural defense level of the target mineral deposit is 87.] 】
At the same time, a diorama appeared before Rhodes' eyes, showing the Black Steel Mine and its surroundings.
Black steel, Rhodes was in good spirits, and took a sharp breath, there was actually a black steel mine here.
The defense level of the Black Steel is usually between fifty and one hundred.
This is a kind of naturally formed magic steel, which is not rare in terms of continent-wide reserves alone, and has reserves in many areas, but because it is buried deep underground, it is very difficult to mine, the output is scarce, and the price is high, it is a very precious rare mine, and it is also a necessary material for the manufacture of high-level magic equipment and magic armor.
Steel, which belonged to the three empires and the major kingdoms, was forbidden to circulate among the people, and the black market price was extremely high, and there was no market.
However, black steel is not very popular among the people, and only dwarves and elves will occasionally buy it.
The reason is that even if you get it, you can't melt it to make armor.
At the same time, because there are relatively few people who know about the existence of black steel, blacksmiths with little knowledge or bad intentions will also call the forged weapons black steel.
It's really good to be able to find black steel, as long as it is strengthened by the demonic godhead, the defense level of the defense layer composed of black steel can reach at least two hundred, which is basically enough.
"Full speed ahead while checking the target reserves and location to see if the demonic godhead can be placed."
Even if it doesn't meet the requirements, the worst result can be to use the Demon Godhead to easily mine black steel, and if it is secretly put to sell in Saigang City, with the persistence of those blacksmiths in Saigang City for steel, they can definitely sell it at a sky-shattering price.
[It is expected that the energy consumption will exceed 100%, do you want to continue?] 】
"Go on."
After saying this, Rod only felt that the demon heart slammed into a slam, and a large stream of energy disappeared in the body, turning into a transparent energy that shot towards the black steel mine, silently integrating into the black steel mine, and after a while, the energy turned into some kind of special signal, which was received by the demon heart.
[The height of the target location meets the requirements, does it expand the demonic godhead?] 】
I saw that the diorama in front of me suddenly expanded and became larger, and all the conditions around the black steel mine were realized.
Below the black steel ore is flowing lava, next to it is an underground river, and above is the thick earth.
It's a very good location.
"Unfold the demonic godhead."
【Important; Expanding the Demon Godhead requires the transformation of demonic divine power into a creative form that is more suitable for building a nest, which may have an impact on the enhancement of the host individual, is it to continue? 】
"Go on."
This is an inevitable result.
Although the gods can create things, they are like steel, they are all metals but they are different, some are suitable for making great swords, some are suitable for making magic armor, and some can only be forged into pots and pans.
The same is true of divine powers, some tend to fight and kill, some tend to create, and some tend to heal.
Although they are all called divine powers, the effects are similar, but the tendencies are different, the suitable ways of use are also different, and the consumption of not using them is also different.
After the demonic godhead is unfolded, it will focus on strengthening the characteristics of creation.
The demonic godhead's ability to create is a manifestation of this demonic creative power.
Other divine properties will naturally weaken, and some conflicting traits may even disappear.
However, it didn't matter to Rhodes, because once the demonic godhead was unfolded, his unfinished demonized body would inevitably collapse, and he would need to use demonic divine power to create a new body again, so it didn't matter whether he was transformed or not.
"By the way, don't convert the remaining 600% of the energy, I'm going to keep it for backup."
