Chapter Twenty-Five: Trouble, Trouble, Trouble!
The thunder faded, and the storm and clouds dispersed.
Standing between the sea and the sky, which was gradually returning to clear weather, the figure of the dragon man had disappeared, and in its place was the young man suspended in the air, who seemed to be a little lost and puzzled and glanced in all directions.
The power of the storm did not come to fruition, and it seemed that Mu Xiu wanted to become the god of heaven who ruled all the celestial realms, whether it was wind, rain, thunder, or the sun, moon and stars, and it was obvious that he still had a long way to go.
In this regard, the boy felt a little lost, but he did not forget what he wanted to do. After all, the opportunity is not great, just do your best, and whether the result is successful or not is really not something you can control.
The most important thing is not to forget what your real goal is for this time -
Create alchemy life, Neptune! Create a true fantasy world view under the Age of Discovery!
The alchemy of the Einzberen family and the alchemy brought by those reincarnators belong to two completely different branches of development, the former is mainly focusing on the alchemical life field of artificial people, and the latter is specialized in the field of non-living technology.
As Mu Xiu, who is only one S-level "god bloodline enhancement" away from being able to become a true god completely, it is necessary to analyze and reorganize his skills after inheriting that kind of alchemy, and completely turn them into the ability of his own system.
So, after creating "angels" in the kingdom of God, he suddenly reacted.
His own version of "rune alchemy" is not limited to the creation of artificial humans, but can create all imaginary alchemical beings...... So, of course, the evil taste of the gods flinched.
Mu Xiu had always felt that this world and this era were still a little worse after all, so it felt very wrong.
If you think about it now, steampunk technology, alchemy craft, domineering, witchcraft magic, "Devil Fruits", ...... These are already there, so what's missing?
That's right! Since it is the Age of Discovery, how can there be no sea monsters? Since time immemorial, legends of deep-sea monsters have been popular on Earth, and tales of terrible sea monsters have been passed down among fishermen and sailors from all over the world.
According to legend, these sea monsters tend to be huge, strangely shaped, and even have multiple heads.
The imprints of sea monsters can be found in civilizations on all continents. For all kinds of voyagers, bad weather, lack of food, plague or pirate attacks are far less intense than the fear caused by the monsters of the deep.
Those huge, strange-looking creatures are as unpredictable as the sea.
With the development of navigation technology, the oceans have been painted with all kinds of strange sea monsters in various navigation charts in the Middle Ages. Behemoths with fangs and faces like demons haunt the all-engulfing storms, encircling the continent menacingly.
It can be said that this is the scar of humanity's struggle with the ocean.
However, in the 16th century, the charts were still full of sea monsters, and in the early 17th century, with the pace of natural exploration, technology replaced fear, and the fantastical, spectacular, and imaginative creatures on the charts were no longer to be found.
In its place are real species, huge sailboats, and routes to hunt down marine life. Later, the animals disappeared from the charts, but the patterns of ships symbolizing the route increased day by day.
It seems that hundreds of years ago, the sea monsters hid under the dark water and never showed their faces again, and the ancient monsters seemed to be shrinking by the space as time passed.
Mu Xiu once felt very sorry for this, but now he seems to be able to create a fantasy world that meets his imagination according to his own ideas.
Many people are afraid of water, and some even suffer from severe deep-sea phobia, and their feet will weaken when they see the dark water, and they dare not imagine how huge the abyss lives beneath it.
To be honest, Mu Xiu used to have this mentality, but just as people are scared when watching horror movies, but at the same time they feel that they can't stop it, he also hopes that there are indeed those nightmarish giants deep underwater.
But—
"Alchemy can't be created out of nothing, this is no longer my divine domain...... Sure enough, we still have to find the mutant matrix of the Sun Ladder first. ”
This is the first step, otherwise it will not be possible to proceed later. After all, the ocean is not Mu Xiu's divine domain, and he does not have the godhead of the sea god, and he also needs "materials" to create new alchemy life here, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing.
However, after a full ten minutes, Mu Xiu, who had been staying in mid-air, couldn't help but frown.
"It's weird, where did it go?"
No, nothing, within the area of nearly a million square kilometers in this entire sea area, there is no breath wavelength that Mu Xiu is familiar with.
Before, he only thought that the vast ocean was blocking his breath perception, but now he could be sure that the target was really not nearby.
He remembered very well that he had thrown the mutant plant down here in the Sea of Japan, and had not deliberately chosen a certain location. Purely because the Sea of Japan is relatively close, as long as you teleport out, you can throw it away and solve the problem.
But now it seems that - it seems that the mutant matrix of the Ladder of the Sun ran away on its own?
After all, in a sense, it can be regarded as the first alchemy life that Mu Xiu successfully refined using rune alchemy, and it has long been out of the category of plants, but Mu Xiu has not reacted before.
It has its own consciousness, and it also has the ability to actively move and hunt, and it is really not difficult to understand that it runs on long legs.
It could only be that it ran away on its own, Mu Xiu didn't believe that it would disappear for no reason, and according to the ability he gave it, Mu Xiu didn't think that there was anything in the ocean of this world that could threaten it.
"What a cunning fellow......"
The next moment, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dark eyes flashed with a dreamy brilliance of blue blue, as if he was watching the trajectory of cause and effect and observing the fortunes of all things in heaven and earth.
It had the mark of his divinity, so there was no escape. But after being endowed with a hint of divinity, it was able to resist itself, which is interesting.
In the next moment, his figure gradually dissipated into the air, as if it were just a phantom left by moving too fast.
……
……
Mariana Trench.
This is the deepest known place on earth in the underwater world, located on the western seabed of the North Pacific Ocean, most of the water depth is more than 8,000 meters, and the lowest point is nearly 11,000 kilometers below sea level, even if the world's highest peak, Everest, is put in, it will sink more than 2,000 meters below sea level.
This mysterious trench is a real abyss on Earth, and the surrounding seabed is covered with hydrothermal vents and mud volcanoes, which constantly spew out various "raw materials" from the depths of the earth, and even record the survival stories of the earliest life forms on Earth.
Because it was very difficult for life to survive on the nascent Earth 4 billion years ago.
Frequent asteroid impacts have turned many parts of the planet into lava fields, with little food and habitable space. Those early lifeforms were only possible to survive in the deep ocean.
However, the organisms that survive at this depth are generally microorganisms, and the fish that can continue to live are no longer visible.
After all, it is a terrifying depth below 10,000 meters under the sea, and the Fish-Man Island in "ONE-PIECE" is only at such a depth, even in the modern time and space of the 21st century, there are not many deep submersibles that can reach such a depth.
Dark, lightless, terrifying air pressure......
But on the other hand, if you can survive in such an environment, this is not the best shelter -
At least for hundreds of years, it will not be disturbed, and hundreds of years will be enough time for the Sun Ladder Mutant Mother to spawn a terrifyingly large ecosystem in the depths of the earth.
It's a pity that it used to be a king, and now its owner is here......
The light suddenly appeared, out of nowhere, but it was abnormally filled with the entire dark trench abyss area, and the divine power shield stretched out the surrounding sea water, and Mu Xiu, who was in it, showed a strange smile, looking at the black shadow in front of him with great satisfaction.
The huge silhouette of the black shadow was frantically baring its teeth and claws, writhing countless tentacles that were hundreds of meters long at every turn, like an unimaginable North Sea Monster.
However, its main body is actually a strange mutated plant, which at first glance looks like a sunflower that has been magnified countless times, but under the stem grows dense and terrifying tentacles, powerful and powerful, many of which are inserted deep into the seabed as if they are absorbing nutrients.
Mu Xiu didn't know how it had moved here, but it seemed to be a good thing, so that this "Sea Demon" would only appear in legends, and no one would actually find its original body.
People only knew that there was a possibility of a "Devil Fruit" in the sea, so they speculated that there must be a "tree" that grew the "fruit", but they couldn't find out where the "tree" was anyway.
Because normally, even if human technology can land on the moon, it is still not enough to explore the deepest part of the ocean.
The sea was clouded by the wielding of countless tentacles, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Sun Ladder mutant matrix pulled its roots out like a real living thing, as if trying to escape from this already unsafe area.
"—Decree Shock!"
The faint sound miraculously travels far and far through the sea.
In an instant, all movement was forcibly terminated, and the mutant plant, which entered a state of shock, lost control of its body in an instant.
Mu Xiu was not polite at all this time, and directly activated the special plug-in he had placed for the other party, the Divine Seal, which washed away all the consciousness of this mutated plant in an instant, and then replaced it with his own divinity.
He doesn't mind that his creation has an independent consciousness, but he never allows his creation to openly rebel against him.
It seemed that it was obviously impossible for this mutant plant to obediently follow his instructions, but Mu Xiu needed to use it to create the Sea King.
After all, there are so many kinds of needs that he can't create them one by one, so naturally he needs to wipe out the independent consciousness of this thing.
Instead of rushing to transform this mutated plant, which was already nearly a kilometer long, into a "biological cultivation center", Mu Xiu just first checked the sunflower-like flower plate and found that the dense "fruits" on it had already appeared.
There are no more, no less, exactly 10,000, but those "fruits" are not sunflower seeds, and a few are close to ripe.
This is a simple creation of rune alchemy, so it is also imprinted by runes into the rules of the world, in other words, it has characteristics that have been set a long time ago.
Each "fruit" can grant a certain kind of magical power to the creature it consumes, but it is only a seed of ability, and the extent to which it can be developed in the future depends entirely on the user's exploration of their own potential.
And when the owner of the "fruit" ability is still alive, the sun ladder with the rules of the divine mark that can sense the rune imprint will not produce the same fruit, and the corresponding "fruit" will not re-enter the growth cycle until the owner dies.
And in the process, Mu Xiu will be able to collect a large amount of "experimental data" - he will be able to see the development direction and intelligence of each ability in this way.
And this kind of information will have a very huge effect on his idea that it is possible to simulate the reincarnation world in the future.
