Chapter 948: Metamorphosis
Among the people and elemental creatures present, except for Lin, probably no one knew what the ironstone people would eventually metamorphose into. But even Lin didn't know what direction the ironstone people would choose among the many options for the tinder.
Elemental creatures of the human form will still choose the appearance of the human form. Those who are accustomed to landing on all fours will not be transformed by fire into monkeys who are good at climbing and swinging between branches. Unless he has the heart of a monkey from the beginning. In other words, the transformation of the fire will not go against the nature that the elemental creatures have cultivated, but will follow this habit and give an optimized plan.
Although the transformed mechanical body is not immutable, it is necessary to believe in how the change is good and what kind of evolutionary direction is correct, so that it is possible to change the mechanical body that has been half-solidified. Otherwise, the mechanical body is damaged, and as long as the energy is sufficient, it will repair itself towards its original appearance.
This means that it is no longer rare mineral materials or slowly accumulating magical energy that restricts the progress of earth elemental creatures, but scientific knowledge about their bodies!
However, until this group of elemental beings has mastered that knowledge, and knows how to use it, how to make a second evolution, they can only unconditionally trust the choices given by the fire. After all, even if you want to question it, these elemental creatures on the magic side don't know what to question at this stage.
But even so, the fire that has not yet grown up still handed over a beautiful report card. The transformation of the iron and stone people refreshes the cognition of onlookers all the time, and also reaps their surprise all the time.
The mechanical body is composed inch by inch. All kinds of parts that have never been seen before are formed in front of everyone's eyes. The body, the arms, the legs, every part of the body is clear to those who look at it, but no one can say why the shape and structure are so strange, and ...... Huge.
More importantly, the materials needed for metamorphosis, as a certain magician said, are not the pure colors of a single substance, but the variegated colors that encompass all things. This especially shocks the elemental creatures of the Westwind Valley, challenging their traditional perceptions. In the past, the reason why the variegated body was maintained was to maintain a certain body shape. Otherwise, all elemental beings are pursuing a single purity.
However, the new body of the Iron and Stone Man not only needs metal materials, but also many kinds of non-metallic materials are used in chips and various composite materials, and the amount used is also considerable. In particular, lacquer used for surface coating not only provides protection and various special functions, but also brings bright colors to the rebirth of the ironstone people.
And all this process of metamorphosis proceeded at a rapid pace after the nuclear reactor was ignited. is so fast that it is dizzying, and the ping-pong forms the new body of the iron-stone man.
The process went smoothly, also thanks to Lin's suggestion to stay near the pit for renovation. Extending from the reactor, it grabbed the electric light that built the body matter, not only into the ground, into the collapsed tunnels, but even towards the elemental creatures of the Valley of Zephyr at one point.
It may be the self-restraint of the Ironstone Man, or the transformation brought about by the fire, which still maintains the basic taboo of not devouring the materials under the control of other elven cores. After all, the claws of plundering the constituent materials did not fall on the elemental creatures of the Valley of Zephyr, but only to extract them from the depths of the earth.
When the fire floating in mid-air no longer emitted an arc, it slowly fell, falling back onto the raised palm of the Ironstone Man. After completing the transformation, he has a body length of about seven to eight meters, one arm is longer than Lin's height, and the arm circumference is thicker than Lin's entire person. He propped up his huge body rustily and sat down looking down at the familiar people around him.
'You ...... How did it get smaller? The Ironstone Man said.
'You're getting bigger, my friend. The elemental creatures of Zephyr Valley tilted their heads and looked taller than them, even if they sat on the ground...... Companion. The tone is inexplicable, and the flavors are mixed.
Handing the tinder, which was held in his palm and smaller than his fingertips, back to Lin's hand, the Iron and Stone Man stumbled to his feet. Probably because he was not used to the new body, the joints driven by the electric energy had more force than the limbs of the primordial elemental creatures, so when he was about to struggle to support his body, he actually jumped and fell to the ground again, shaking the people standing around him.
The man himself looked at his new body in amazement, up and down, and turned his head vigorously to look behind him. This is too troublesome to make a water mirror seven or eight meters large in the earth element plane, otherwise Lin really wants to get a huge water mirror out, just like the dressing mirror of the earth clothing store, so that the iron and stone people can take a good look at their changes.
This is still because the size gap is too large, and the ironstone people are afraid that they can step on the slightly smaller elemental creatures with one wrong foot, so the others in the Westwind Valley dare not get too close. Otherwise, they would have been tempted to go up and touch and see how their companions had changed up close.
Also see the fascinated people, and the lich standing nearby. Fen's eyes lit up as if she had seen a big toy. This is still her remembering to take care of her own image, otherwise Harazi will flow out.
I have to say that the size of the ironstone man is not special in the maze. There are giants in the mysterious land, and their height is about seven to eleven meters according to the size of the earth, which is much taller than the ironstone people. However, the intelligence of the giants is usually not high, and the clothing is not as refined as that of humans, and most of them can be classified as uncivilized groups.
And the mechanized body of the ironstone people gives people the feeling that is different from those giants who are no different from barbarians, carrying large bones and going out to hunt. Not to mention the harmonious combination of bright colors, the angular body, the shiny metal surface, the thick and powerful limbs, and the oppressive feeling brought by the tall body are not comparable to the puppets of the Lost Land or the undead creation system.
It's not that Fen hasn't done such a huge stitched corpse, and there are quite a few dragon corpses resurrected. But the giant soldiers who I remembered as fearing the enemy were not at all on the same level as the transformed Ironstone Man in front of him. This reminds Fen of a word that I got from someone's mouth and that didn't match it very well—the aesthetics of violence.
In contrast to the ugliness of the undead creatures, and the fear that comes with being ugly, the change of the Ironstone gives people a sense of stability and strength. What's more, he also has a sense of beauty that looks quite pleasing to the eye and will make people unconsciously fascinated. This is not a magical effect of the charm type, just the purest and natural beauty.
And this is definitely not a useless showcase. Fen knew how much effort she, Lin and Boxy had put into making that tinder; How much of the fire could be the essence of her cognition, and she had threatening knowledge. If the specs she saw could be fully exploited by the Ironstone, what she saw would be the most powerful weapon of war Fen had ever seen.
The beginning of a weapon that could turn the world upside down.
