Chapter 485: Titan's Heart

Dome, to put it bluntly, is a huge rock cave.

The dome, like the one where Kane is now located, covers an area of more than 0.5 square kilometers, or 750 acres, and each person is allocated an area of 10 square meters, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people.

With such a large area, with plants, rivers, and hills, coupled with a top height of more than 100 meters at the highest point, it can be said that this is an underground jungle, and ordinary people can hardly feel the oppressive feeling brought by the underground cave.

What does this mean?

This means that even if you live for a long time, your body and mind will not be affected by the level of the lesion.

Of course, there's still a lot to be said about being livable.

For example, the need for light, the need for ventilation, and the need for safety, there is a huge stone stalactite at the top of the dome, if it breaks, hundreds of tons of heavy objects will be smashed down, and the fun will be great below.

Although this dome has many unique advantages, it is nothing to Kane. After all, even the Pyramid of Darkness, he can be said to be made.

If it was to gain a safe stronghold, the Dark Pyramid, which itself was a giant magic weapon, was much stronger than a semi-artificial, semi-natural Demon Transformation Dome.

Kane liked this place because it was a natural place, and for the druid army, it was easier to communicate with the world by building a sanctuary in such an area.

Under his command, wizards and blood bannermen lay out the supernatural materials one by one, and then activated them by himself.

As the temporary sources of magic glow one after another, a colorful mist gradually rises from the already beautiful dome, creating a dreamlike scenery with a montage effect.

For ordinary people, such a view can lead to the loss of the soul and even the loss of oneself.

And too much of the magic, like an excess of electromagnetic radiation, or even deadly nuclear radiation. As a result, this place is now as dangerous as a mage's arcane garden.

But for Kane, this concentration of magic is barely enough. The internal environment (Mana Rain Mist) of the Diamond Cocoon of the SC Universe Hatching Cthulhu is considered appropriate.

Next, Kane will perform an ascension ceremony.

Due to the lack of mana, the ritual would last about 12 hours to achieve the effect he wanted.

So Simon and others became Dharma protectors, mainly to prevent disturbances.

After confirming that there were no problems and hidden dangers in each link, Kane began to hold the ceremony.

In the specific operation process, the more special, amazing, or terrifying thing is that he directly tore off his left arm.

From the elbow position, the forearm and hand were torn off, like pulling chicken wings, dripping with flesh and blood, and white tendons were attached, and the bones could be seen.

It was such a severed arm, which he poked into the densest soil of the transcendent material in a rough way.

It is also the center of the dome, and the terrain is a small mound more than ten meters high.

Plant the seed of flesh and blood, and the ceremony officially begins.

There is no need to dance the sacrificial dance, or recite mantras or prayers repeatedly, for him with the qualities of a demigod, it is enough to concentrate his mind and use the power of the divine soul to continuously complete the guidance of the power of nature.

As a result, the colorful light of the dome was gradually replaced by a rising dark green hue. It's like a giant magic steamer, boiling a pot of plague poison.

It's a dark druid ritual that doesn't feel authentic, but has a strong personal touch.

It's not a ritual in the sun, and the color isn't a new green.

Generally speaking, dark druids perform rituals at night, and on the day of the full moon, or on a more special night, such as the night of the blood moon once every few decades.

Kane, on the other hand, is comparatively darker.

Similarly, the kind of witches (witches) who are hated by gods and ghosts like to play like this, but they can't organically separate the power of darkness from the power of evil, and the end result is to go on the wrong path, so their spells are secretive, vicious, and even called witchcraft.

Kane is different, he is also a dark druid, and the magical characteristics of his system are profound, majestic, solemn, majestic, lacking in knowledge, and even unable to discern its roots.

What's even more interesting is that Kane has also incorporated his own farming system, so he has a unique dark alchemy, which can not only process gold and stone in an extraordinary way (the Dark Pyramid is a specific application), but also grow it in a way (similar to bioengineering on the scientific side, genetic modification).

But before that, the sacred tree must be planted.

The Sacred Tree is related to several branches, one of which is the Dark Refinery, which is equivalent to an MCV base car, which is the basis of the development system.

Most of the druids' sacred trees, or faith totems, are oaks.

Kane is not, Kane chooses the Dark Flesh Seed, and what kind of plant is planted depends on the final outcome of the ritual.

The main reason for doing this is not to play with personality, but to be so interactive that you can get a higher natural fit.

As the ascension ritual progresses, the native plants in the vault change dramatically.

Most of the plants died, and the cause of death was similar to 'the big supplement is poison', and the scientific version is that the gene collapsed. The growth process is so accelerated that it cannot withstand the drastic changes and is destroyed.

Only a few plants survived and were on the fast track to evolution.

And the fastest, naturally, is the sacred tree that Kane is concerned about.

The arm melts away, and the final result is a deformed plant.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the Socotra Dragon's Blood Tree of the Origin World, with an impressive mushroom-like canopy and an umbrella-like branch.

If you look closely, you will find that it has some of the characteristics of fungal organisms, and the leaves that make up the canopy are extraordinarily compact and orderly, like scales.

Beneath the canopy, above the trunk, glowing sporangia are arranged in an orderly manner, like a canopy, emitting a soft and bright light.

And the outer skin of its branches is also more delicate and smooth, like processed leather......

This plant can be understood as a hybrid aberration, but it can also be called a magical species, its appearance is erect and has a hint of divinity, so that people do not associate it with those twisted things that symbolize chaos and evil.

After the ascension ceremony was completed, the spore tree had grown into a towering tree, and the trunk was barely hugged by three people.

And the whole dome has also changed greatly, all plants have a tendency to become giant, and ordinary people are in it, as if they have woken up from a sleep, and they have been shrunk several times, so that they can see anything bigger.

Compared to these superficial features, the real change here is the change in the flow of energy.

The ascension ceremony not only added more sacred trees to the vault, but also turned the vault into a sanctuary.

The sanctuary, in one sense, is like the heart of a region, regulating and pumping the forces of nature, gradually bringing the environment within its control.

If needed, you can even awaken the Earth Titans through the Awakening Ritual.

Such a Titan, in principle, is similar to the lava Titan awakened by the gods of Kane Zhao in the New World, but it is more clever and powerful.

Kane, on the other hand, took advantage of the ritual to harvest the 'Phantom Wood Worm Shell' he wanted.

It's a set of armor made of sacred trees that performs better than magical alloys made from a mix of adamantite gold and mythril, especially for druids.

Kane wasn't interested in wearing armor with fur branches, as if he was 'a rain of smoke', he preferred the qualities of sheet metal armor, and just by looking at it, he knew that the defense was not bad.

The growth-shaped 'Phantom Wood Insect Shell' has both the protective power of plate armor, the energy conductivity of magical artifacts, and the natural characteristics of insect shells, which are unique and tailor-made.

They are encased in sporangia in nine parts (head, chest, hips, shoulders, arms, legs) and padded with a pliable substance, like a packed box.

This set of armor also does not have ordinary buckles, they are connected to the body and each other by special energy, some of them are like the holy clothes of the Saint Seiya, but they are not so close-fitting, but have a draped effect like ordinary armor, and also allow the presence of underwear such as liners.

This is specially designed by Kane, the gap between the armor and the flesh will be filled with energy, as a buffer layer, an extra layer of protection, and there is no need to worry about the armor being loose and not enough to follow.

As for the lost left arm, it was really lost and turned into a sacred tree, which is also part of the ritual and symbolizes his close connection to the world.

Of course, the loss of the left arm will not cause any inconvenience, the vine-like plant grows out of the uneven break, the thick and hard form bones, the slender and flexible into muscle fibers, and the final novice is like an arm with skin removed, and the texture and structure are basically the same as in the past.

Kane wrapped this arm around it with a moon cloth full of runes, and this arm was weaponized so far, and it was no worse than flesh and blood in terms of touch, but there was no pain.

Like this kind of mutilated limbs and alienation, Kane himself will never do it, although there are many advantages and disadvantages.

Kane Sun is different, his character has the courage to try, and he is unwilling to be active only within the framework of the system given by the ontology, this time it can be regarded as a far-reaching system of the dark druid, and he has stepped to a height that the ontology has not reached.

Amanda saw that Kane had passed the night, missing an arm, and was very well-behaved and didn't say anything, and didn't ask anything. She sees it as a 'man's field of work', where work is work, life is life, and it is better to separate than to separate.

Kane also liked Amanda's acquaintance, and the team headed north again in the morning light.

As always, as soon as Kane's convoy left, various forces probed the makeshift camp left behind by the convoy.

The main purpose of the investigation is to understand and study the details to deduce the spellcasting system of Kane and others.

The passages that Kane ordered to be excavated were also discovered, and they even went all the way underground through the traces of those artificial modifications.

But no one succeeded in finding the sanctuary.

If you want to discover the sanctuary, in addition to having a strength level that is not inferior to Kane, you must also have a high enough natural affinity to detect the abnormality, and then investigate little by little to find it.

What the scouts of the various forces saw in the depths of the earth was a dark abyss hollow with no idea how deep, whether it was a burning torch or a magical flame, it was not long after falling into it, and then it disappeared without a trace.

A black pit like this can count more than ten in the Akara continent, which is just another new discovery.

After receiving the report from the frontline, the high-level leaders of the various forces all made a mark on the front-line scouts, but temporarily gave up the new instructions for in-depth exploration.

Kane's relationship with Kurobysa may linger in their hearts for a long time, but they prefer to know Kane directly than to solve more mysteries of the world. There are too many mysteries in the world, and if they choose this direction for the application of manpower, it is really a deep pit that cannot be filled.

Comparatively speaking, due to the interaction between the Holy Cult and Kane, the scouts who are watching have decreased a lot, but the observation has increased.

Like this time, the new information sent back by the scouts confirmed that the extraordinary resources obtained from the Kane trade were almost squandered overnight.

Based on this information, the Holy Cult realized that Kane must have accomplished something important.

But they couldn't guess that there was such a thing as a sanctuary, and instead thought that Kane was dealing with the vampires who lived in the mountains of Kiel.

An important reason for such speculation is that the Holy Cult knows some secrets of vampires.

As the saying goes, it's your enemies who know you best.

Vampires are the great enemies of the Holy Religion, and one of the main reasons for the establishment of the Holy Religion is to protect humans from the wanton hunting of vampires.

In order to better fight vampires, the investigation of their origins has been a key focus.

During an in-depth exploration operation, the action team of the Holy Sect stumbled upon some clues, and although the final result of the tracking was the complete destruction of the action group, it also passed back some important information.

At the heart of this message is the idea that vampires have given birth to a god and have interacted with the Cult's Shariyah.

Since then, the Cult's strategy against vampires has been less determined to eradicate evil.

Now, in the upper echelons of the Holy Sect, a strong person like Kane may only strengthen his armament at the edge of the opponent's sphere of influence in the face of malice that may come from the gods, right?
