Arrantiel, Wizard's Tower.

Countess Elia had returned from Windy City that day, and she had gone to Stephen's study, where the two of them had spent an afternoon discussing the layout of the North. Countess Elijah then left in good spirits, as if Stephen had guided her in the direction and filled her with hope and confidence for the future.

Yan has always been curious about what the two of them often do together, and every time Countess Illya comes out, she has a radiant expression. She wanted to sneak over to have a look, but was stopped by Miss Tinax, who was blushing slightly.

Inside the laboratory.

In front of Stephen, a tall golem with a strange texture has been completed.

- "Diamond Golem." ”

One of the most powerful golems of the late Thurium Age.

A legendary golem with a challenge level of up to 16+, easily pressing an adult dragon to the ground and rubbing it on the ground, with a very amazing resistance ability, with crushing attacks, damage reduction, poison gas attacks, etc., with strong acid resistance, fire resistance, cold resistance, lightning resistance, smash resistance, puncture resistance, slash resistance, ranged resistance, magic resistance, etc., basically it can be said that it is a completely immovable existence below high-level professionals.

And Stephen made a modified version of the diamond golem, with a certain percentage of pure gold mixed into the body.

Therefore, it is also immune to normal weapon attacks, immune to level 1-3 magic weapon attacks, and if the equipment is too poor, it will not be able to break the defense at all.

Of course, with so many advantages, it is also quite expensive.

The cost of a steel golem is about 80,000 gold coins, and the transaction price is about 150,000 gold coins, while the diamond golem in front of you alone costs as much as 800,000 gold coins, and the price may exceed 3 million gold coins if you want to trade.

After all, Stephen had used a legendary-level soul spar on its body.

Although Stephen still has a lot of soul crystals in his hand, all of which have been exchanged from the Astral Merchant, it is definitely impossible to use this quality soul crystal indiscriminately, so he has to keep a little bit in his hand, maybe he will need it when he needs it. Although the Diamond Golem is powerful in combat, it is too expensive to build, and can only appear as the finale unit, and the real main combat force of the Golem Legion is the Stone Golem and the Iron Golem.

- 'Legendary Activates Construct Life!'

With powerful spell fluctuations emerging, Stephen extracted the energy of the wizard's tower and injected soul power into the diamond golem in front of him.

All golems were born through the study of alchemy and soulology, and ancient wizards discovered the wonderful use of soul crystals, which could serve as a core to carry intelligence and give golems more autonomy. With the brilliance of a spell, the diamond golem in front of him moved slowly, and then stood quietly beside Stephen. As the most powerful golem at this stage, the diamond golem gives people a lot of pressure, especially the pale cyan semi-crystalline structure on the surface of the body, which makes people know that it is quite difficult to deal with at a glance.

"Go to warehouse No. 1 and stand by. Stephen commanded.

Then, the diamond golem in front of him left with heavy steps, and the energy consumption when it was activated was not small, so there was no need to take it out and use it for the time being.

A ball of light emerges.

Stephen waved his hand and turned into an intricate blueprint, and he swept his gaze and said, "Taling 1." Pull up the blueprints of the Granite Golem. ”

The crafting level of the Stone Golem needs to be upgraded.

With the Steel Golem not yet in mass production, Stephen decided to make a batch of Granite Golems first.

This is an advanced stone golem with good spell resistance, and it has been decided to make 500-1000 statues at the moment, by which time Arantir should be fully operational, and the Iron Golem can start to be produced in batches.

Little by little, time passed.

While Stephen was busy designing a new granite golem, Miss Tinax appeared outside the door.

"The hosts. ”

"There's news from the String Moon. It looks like someone wants to talk to you. The head maid, who had followed Stephen first, whispered.

Quarter Moon?

Is something going on over there?

Hearing this, Stephen stopped what he was doing, got up and said, "Okay." I'll come right over. ”

Stargate.

Stephen was summoned as soon as he arrived, and soon the voice of the Arendo-Shepherd rang out, "Your Excellency Stephen?"

"Hmm. It's me. Stephen responded.

Arondo-Shepherd's voice was a little hoarse, and he said slowly, "Is the Void Master still with you?"

Stephen shook his head and said, "No." What's going on?"

Arondo-Shepherd paused, then continued, "Some new monsters have appeared on the String Moon. They're quite difficult to deal with. Moreover, the Quetzalcoatl gods saw a terrifying super giant beast in the astral plane, which is currently stuck in the sky above the first moon, as if it is showing signs of approaching Motela. ”

New monsters?

A terrifying super-beast?

Has the Death Omen Star created any new powerful evil?

Stephen said in a deep voice, "Hmm. I know. ”

"I'll take notice. ”

The communication between the two men ended quickly, but Stephen's mood was a little heavy.

All indications were that the next attack of the Death Omen Star would come soon, and he didn't know how much time was left for the others, as the power of the Death Omen Star became stronger and stronger, his attack would definitely become more and more intense. Fortunately, the Death Omen Star is only a pan-consciousness collection, and while the String Moon has achieved its immense power, it also traps its essence on it.

It's not going to be possible for Him to come directly to Motella at this time.

"I wonder how the Void Master's progress is?" said Stephen to himself.

The power of the Silky Scroll is very strong.

Legend has it that the Death Scroll is a secret scroll involving advanced soul knowledge, possessing the ability to bring all life to death, and perhaps it records how to kill evil creatures quickly and completely.

With Stephen's power, he is not very afraid of the ancient evil!

Unless it is an existence at the level of the Death Omen, otherwise he can still deal with ordinary ancient evil things, such as the Worm Walker, if it weren't for the Worm Walker's strange resurrection ability, and he can't be completely killed no matter what, Stephen would have killed him as early as the first round of outbreaks.

One of the most disgusting things about the ancient evil creatures is the soul trait, without which it is much easier for Stephen to deal with them.

"It is said that the Grim Reaper can directly kill the ancient evil in one go!"

"It's a pity that there is no Grim Reaper in this world!" Stephen sighed.

The existence of gods is not in every world, their form is very special, and it requires the embodiment of the power of the law.

In the evening.

Stephen continued to work on the construction of the Floating City, during which time the Prophet Ankara came over, and the two exchanged ideas on the construction of the Wizard's Tower.

Wait until night falls.

The psychic message of the Empress of the Zera Ant Clan rang out, "Master. There seems to be some strange changes in the Nightmare Realm. ”

"We're having a little trouble with our rearranged monster farming maze. ”

Nightmare Realm?

Hearing this, Stephen opened his eyes directly, stopped this meditation and said, "What's wrong?

The Empress of the Zela Ant Clan whispered, "The master had better go and see it for himself." ”

The area of the Nightmare Realm is huge.

Since the last upheaval, neither Stephen nor the Five Rings Tower have left the energy to explore the Nightmare Realm. They haven't finished exploring the planet Motera, and the Nightmare Realm is even more dangerous, and there are not so many manpower and material resources to develop and explore.

"Good. I'm going over now. Stephen nodded.

With the aura of a teleportation spell.

Stephen made it straight to his new stronghold in the Nightmare Realm, which had been destroyed once but later rebuilt, and it was impossible for him to give up a resource point that would allow him to steadily obtain soul crystals.

At this point, everything in front of me is a bit of a mess.

There were signs of destruction everywhere, the corpses of some of the Zela Soldier Ants being gathered away, and directly in front of them was a giant worm devourer.

Since the appearance of the soul worm, the changes in the Nightmare Realm have not stopped, many powerful monsters have appeared in this world, and some distorted shadow distortions have become more and more, in the world shrouded in gray mist, the original geysms have begun to be transformed into entities, and a large number of monsters continue to multiply.

The source of their birth is evil thoughts.

All primates have many evil thoughts in their souls, and the ancient evil beings can inspire and exploit these evil thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Is this demonic breath?" Stephen suddenly frowned.

In the pile of corpses in front of him, there were some special soul worms, they had human faces with distorted expressions but clear outlines, and they looked a little different from the original soul worms. Stephen directly stretched out his hand, and the corpse of one of the soul worms fell into the palm of his hand.

With a flash of cold light!

The soul worm in front of him was instantly torn apart, and strange cavities appeared in front of him one after another.

"Void Demon?" a glimmer flashed in Stephen's eyes.

The soul worm had seven or eight special flesh cavities in its body, and within these cavities there were vague and strange tiny humanoid outlines. If you haven't studied the knowledge of "Demon Science" in depth, you definitely don't know what this is, but Stephen, as a super scholar, can see the problem at a glance.

As mentioned earlier, demonic creatures have their own genetic trees!

Starting with the lowest level of soul worms, all demons are promoted in the form of genetic mutations, which means that they do not grow up little by little like humans, but suddenly mutate and transform into another form when their energy accumulates to a certain extent.

With a flick of Stephen's fingertips, he pulled out a small mass of flesh in the form of a humanoid.

"Little devil!" he whispered, staring at the outline of flesh that was about to take shape.

The demon's genetic tree grows as its strength increases.

The advanced form of the soul worm is the little devil, so the outline of the little devil in the flesh cavity is the closest to forming, when the strength of this soul worm reaches a certain level, its body will expand and grow rapidly in a short period of time, and after tearing the original flesh and blood, a little devil about 1.3 meters tall will quickly mutate and form.

Stephen had observed this process.

The demon's mutated gene tree was not much different from the gene tree hatched by the Void Zerg, which made him suspect that there was some similarity between the two in their origins.

There are other unformed forms within the cavity of the Soul Worm, which are all hidden, remaining in the demon's body as branches of the gene tree, and if there is enough power to activate, then a new demonic form will quickly appear. Therefore, the Demon Lord can quickly promote a low-level demon because they have activated a higher form in the gene tree in the demon's body with their power.

Stephen can do the same.

He had studied "Demon Science" in depth in the past, and had a deep understanding of the demon gene tree.

"Who's stocking the demon worms?" Stephen looked up.

Taling No. 1's perception has been extended, but he has not found any signs of powerful demons, transforming soul worms is a very simple matter, only a high-level demon needs to feed these soul worms with their own blood, or disperse the power into their bodies, and soon the demon gene tree will appear in these soul worms. (Note: Soul worms are extremely malleable!)

Once this gene tree appears!

With the demon's amazing ability to reproduce, the demon's bloodline can be spread in a very short period of time.

Stephen beckoned again.

Another soul worm fell into his hands, and this time the dissected soul worm did not have the original mutant form of the demon, but instead could see tiny Zerg larvae forms in its body, such as ferocious predators, weird scorpions, huge worms, and so on.

This is the Void Zerg's mutant gene tree.

Almost all Zerg units can be hatched from larvae, because the larvae already contain the original mutant genes of most Zerg units.

They also only need energy and nutrients to evolve quickly!

Two distinct genetic trees appeared in front of Stephen's eyes, and he watched it all with a frown, Taling 1's perception had stretched to the limit, but he still hadn't found the demonic breeder hidden in the mist. But Stephen can be sure of one thing, that is, after the appearance of the soul worm, there must be demons who came to this world, and they did not come for a long time, at most about ten days and half a month.

These demon breeders have quietly changed the genetic tree of the soul worms, seemingly trying to keep up with the ancient evil creatures for the benefits of the Nightmare Realm.

Demons always covet souls.

The birth of the Soul Worm was like an opening to this world for them!
