"First, I need you to hatch in dragon form."

Su Mo pinched the girl's soft cheeks and said simply.

"That is, the mythical form of Jörmungad, the earthly python, on this basis, the next step can be carried out."

"Uh-huh, got it."

Miss Natsumi nodded one after another.

It's just that transforming into a dragon body is not difficult for her.

"Are you sure you know?"

Su Mo was skeptical of this and asked.

"Then let me ask you, how are you going to hatch?"

"Needless to ask—huh? That's right! Hatching requires enough food, and now it seems that there is no more! ”

Miss Xia Mi originally wanted to puff out her cheeks and ask Su Mo why she was underestimating herself, but before she could say anything, she suddenly remembered that the Dragon King needed a lot of food to hatch.

And the form of the earthly giant python needs a lot of food, and there is almost no upper limit, so that Xia Mi has never really obtained the complete mythical form so far.

"So what to do?"

The girl couldn't help but look at Su Mo, instinctively feeling that he must have a solution.

"I'm here to fix this, but I still need to make sure."

Su Mo doesn't sell Guanzi either.

After explaining, he took Natsumi to a place near Avalon.

The two of them stood on the surface of the water, and the color of the sea under their feet had changed, and the original blue-green water had turned black.

The red rain in the sky is still falling, and the black tide under your feet is also rising, and with the intervention of Nidhogg, the biosphere of this planet is moving towards the end step by step.

"The Arctic Ocean is the fastest-rising sea level region, and as the natural womb that gave birth to Nidhogg, it is arguably the first place to usher in the end. But the most dangerous place often hides the biggest turnaround. ”

Saying this, Su Mo exerted his authority, and with a wave of his hand, he directly parted the sea.

The vast surface of the sea seems to have been dug out of the jelly in the center, and a piece is directly vacated, revealing a huge seabed.

The surrounding sea water sloped down like a waterfall, but not a drop dared to enter the situation that Su Mo had cut open, and the so-called miracle of Moses dividing the sea was just a snap of his fingers in the hands of Su Mo and Xia Mi today.

So, Xia Mi quickly found what Su Mo really wanted to show.

"It's ...... Red tide? ”

In front of the girl, the sea is like a layered cake or cocktail that has been cut, showing a very obvious sense of layering.

The seawater is divided into four layers, and the top and bottom layers are the most ordinary blue-green water, nothing special.

The second layer of seawater reveals an inky black, which is the so-called Kuroshio, and the thickening layer of the Kuroshio is the core cause of the high tide.

And under the Kuroshio, the red layering, which is so firmly hidden by the Kuroshio that it is now unobservable by satellite images, is the layering that once played an important role and has carried the will of Nidhogg many times.

Red tide!

Whether it is the red rain of the battle of the White King or the birth of the pseudo-god Patsy, there is the participation of Chi Chao behind it.

It can be said that the power of the red tide is almost equivalent to the spokesman of Nidhogg's will.

So—

"What's the use of that? Whether it's a red tide or a black tide, aren't they the power of Nidhogg? ”

Miss Natsumi asked.

"Are you sure?"

"Isn't it?"

Miss Xia Mi was slightly stunned.

"Of course not."

Su Mo shook his head and looked at the layered sea in front of him.

Whether it is a red tide or a black tide, it is not just like the name, it is simply a different color of water.

In fact, both tides are dyed by eutrophicated organisms, and both are rich in algae, organic matter, and even organisms, and contain extremely rich biological genes, and it is not unreasonable to think of them as actual gene pools of species.

As mentioned earlier, the red tide contains a large number of creatures carrying dragon genes, and its essence is actually connected to the underground river of the Red Ghost River, which is the amniotic fluid that gives birth to the dragon king.

Red Tide can be understood as an exclusive gene pool with dragon genes as the main body and other biological genes as supplements, as the amniotic fluid that gives birth to the Black King's embryo, it will naturally obey the Black King's orders.

As the amniotic fluid born from the tree of life, there is no too obvious distinction between primary and secondary in the black tide, whether it is dragon blood genes or ordinary biological genes, they are accepted without discrimination.

Those so-called beast herds, whether they are king beasts or divine beasts, were born from the Kuroshio.

One is based on dragon genes, and the other is inclusive of all things, and this is where the difference between the two lies.

"Red Tide is the embodiment of Nidhogg's will as the Black King, and an extension of the power of the World Tree."

"The Kuroshio is the embodiment of Nidhogg's evolved will, an extension of the power of the Tree of Life."

"It is true that Nidhogg was the master of the Red Tide, and he is indeed the master of the Kuroshio, but that does not mean that he is the master of both at the same time."

Su Mo smiled and explained very patiently.

The two tides that seem to be similar actually represent completely different power systems.

Hearing this, Xia Mi finally understood what Su Mo meant, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"It's you who wield the power of the Black King now...... In other words, you are the master of the red tide now? ”

That's right! Before Nidhogg evolved, he manipulated the red tide through the identity of the Black King, and now Su Mo is the Black King, doesn't that mean that this is the scope of Su Mo's authority?

The realm of life is of course attributed to Nidhogg, but the boss of the dragon class is now Su Mo!

"Theoretically, yes."

Su Mo nodded.

"But in fact, you still have to try to find out, after all, although Nidhogg gave up the World Tree, he didn't completely abandon the dragon genes."

Nidhogg, who has abandoned the World Tree, will inevitably have less control over the Red Tide, but not to zero.

Because, after breaking and then standing, he only gave up the scope of authority, and the advantages of the dragon gene itself were still scattered and absorbed by him into the Black Tide, becoming one of the life catalogs and the nourishment of the tree of life.

Now, in Su Mo's perspective, all the creatures in the Kuroshio layer are written with the name of Nidhogg, which can be said to be the manifestation of Nidhogg's will now.

The red tide layer, on the other hand, is infected with the name Nidhogg only where it comes into contact with the Kuroshio, and the rest of it is an ordinary dragon's blood creature.

It is foreseeable that if there is no interference, within two months, the Kuroshio will inevitably completely swallow up the red tide and completely absorb it as its own nutrients.

If Su Mo hadn't thought of this, I'm afraid he would have given away these advantages completely without realizing it.

At that time, it is estimated that there will be no power to return to the sky.

But now, it's still too late.

After speaking, Su Moyong sang the exclusive spirit that belonged to the Black King, and immediately began to try.

Under the influence of the emperor, soon, the red tide began to resonate.

The most special thing about dragon genes is that they have a strong materiality and spirituality at the same time.

At the call of the Black King, the ancestor of the dragon clan, the Emperor's realm covered the entire ocean, and all the red tides in the entire Arctic Ocean chose to submit.

This process went more smoothly than Su Mo expected, and in the face of his summoning of the Lord of the World Tree, the interference of the Tree of Life was of no use in the slightest.

The nature of the dragon's genes is to submit to the strongest dragon emperor, which was originally a biological mechanism set by Nidhogg to ensure his status, but at the moment it has become a disadvantage that hinders him.

Rather than being assimilated by the Life Catalog, the dragon genes are more inclined to submit to the Ancient Dragon Emperor.

As a result, Su Mo soon became the lord of the red tide.

However, as he had predicted, after he succeeded in subduing the Red Tide, Nidhogg's counterattack began immediately.

The Kuroshio, which can contain all genes, is itself constantly devouring the red tide, and now, after sensing that the red tide is being mastered by Su Mo, the speed of the black tide eroding the red tide has immediately accelerated by nearly ten times.

In order to fight back against Su Mo, Nidhogg even did not hesitate to delay the breeding of the beast herd, and spent the energy that was originally made of the divine beast on the erosion of the red tide.

"It's ...... In a hurry? ”

The corners of Su Mo's mouth hooked up a smile.

Of course, he knew that Nidhogg was not in a hurry, at least not very much.

Although the red tide and the Kuroshio may sound comparable, they are actually very different in size.

The Kuroshio, which contains the gene pool of all life on the planet throughout the ages, is large enough to cover the entire planet.

And what about red tides? It mainly only has dragon genes, and it only appears in a few sea areas, and even in these sea areas it is suppressed and beaten by the Kuroshio, and it cannot be defeated.

In fact, even if Su Mo became the Lord of the Red Tide, even if Nidhogg let him go, this little power alone would not be enough to change the crisis of the three world-destroying levels.

However, Nidhogg was the one who knew Su Mo's speed of becoming stronger after all, and he would not take any of Su Mo's actions lightly.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, even if it is a small advantage, Nidhogg does not intend to let Su Mo get it, he is different from Odin, he has no arrogant weakness.

This Nidhogg is obviously strong, but he is extremely cautious.

In the face of this kind of volume suppression, even Su Mo has no good way to deal with it.

But—

"Are you sure you want to give up the herd for the sake of the red tide?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and conveyed this news to the Kuroshio in front of him.

In this regard, Kuroshio was silent, Nidhogg would not be affected by Su Mo's two words, as long as it was an act that could establish his advantage, he would not choose to give up.

Besides, he didn't give up on the herd, he just slowed down the evolution a little.

Seeing this, Su Mo was not impatient.

He immediately urged the authority of the Black King and activated the alchemy kingdom that has now reached the LV7 level, [Life Creation].

As the authority of the ocean and water, life creation is the closest part of the world tree system to the tree of life, and it can even be said that Nidhogg's idea of creating the tree of life is a germ that grows from the power of the alchemical kingdom of [Life Creation].

The Tree of Life Theory is not something that Nidhogg came up with out of thin air, but is the result of further development based on the study of life itself by the water elemental authority.

Although it is not as direct as the manipulation of the Life Tree Theory, with the blessing of this alchemy kingdom, Su Mo can indeed greatly increase the corrosiveness of the red tide.

After the Kuroshio Tide erodes the red tide, it will be eroded back by the red tide, and if it cannot form a dynamic equilibrium, at least it can slow down the erosion of the Kuroshio.

When it comes to genetic manipulation, the World Tree is indeed inferior to the Tree of Life.

In the end, with Su Mo's full intervention, the speed at which the red tide was eroded was still three times that of the original.

"Then do I want to hatch it now while the red tide has not yet begun to be devoured in large numbers?"

Noticing the confrontation between the red tide and the black tide in front of her, Miss Natsumi couldn't help but ask.

Although the scale of these red tides in front of her was enough for the Black King to give birth to a dragon body hundreds of times, she was still a little bottomless in her heart when she saw the speed of the Black Tide's erosion.

"There's no hurry."

Su Mo shook his head.

"I have high expectations for you, you will hatch for at least three days, so there is no need to rush it."

"More than three days?"

Miss Natsumi was a little suspicious of her ears.

With their current strength, the speed of hatching dragon bodies is much faster than that of ordinary dragon kings.

Just as the pseudo-god Patsi had hatched a hundred-meter-level dragon body in almost half an hour before, although he was not a completed black king, the speed of hatching was not reduced.

As long as the food is sufficient, even Su Mo, who is the Black King, can hatch a mythical body in half an hour.

In the same way, Xia Mi's speed of hatching the dragon body would only be faster, but Su Mo now actually said that it would take more than three days.

Thinking of this, Natsumi finally realized something.

"Hey! Su Mo, do you really want me to hatch the kind of body that surrounds the atrium?! ”

The girl was shocked.

Only then did she understand why she had mastered so many dragon forms, but Su Mo had taken a fancy to the earthly giant python form.

Although the form of the dragon's body does not affect the use of authority, there is indeed a special place in the state of the earthly python of Jörmungand, that is, there is no limit to this size, as long as the food is enough, you can grow as long as you want.

The setting in the myth is not an exaggeration, as long as the conditions are sufficient, even if he is ashamed of being a dragon king at the beginning, Xia Mi still has the ability to become a snake around the atrium.

The so-called "circumambulation atrium" means that the body is long enough to circle the earth.

Even in the entire history of the planet, there has never been a life of this size.

"Three days will only hatch at most, but I do intend for you to recreate this level of form. Anyway, with your cocoon transformation skills, you can continue to grow later. ”

Su Mo did not hide his intentions, admitted it directly, and asked.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I really want to try it if I have the chance."

Miss Natsumi shook her head, her eyes slightly excited.

She had always had the potential to develop into an earthly python, but this potential was never fulfilled once, as she never had the opportunity to obtain enough food to hatch into her mythical form.

It's not that she didn't think that one day she would be able to hatch into a mythical form and kill the Quartet, but in the battle of dragons, body size is not equal to combat power, rather than becoming a huge living target, it is better to maintain a human form to facilitate escape, so for Xia Mi, the human body form is more familiar.

This time she had the opportunity to realize her dream, and she naturally didn't want to refuse.

"However, these red tides are our last supplies, and the more we use them, the less we use them. It's more efficient for you to use it than for me. ”

The girl said very seriously.

The so-called talent for infinite growth, the Black King, as the source of the dragon clan, naturally also has, but generally for the sake of mobility, compared to the excessive pursuit of size, the dragon kings are generally more balanced.

Although I don't know what Su Mo wants to do, Su Mo can take this kind of benefit by himself, and Xia Mi doesn't want to affect the overall situation by taking care of himself.

"Nope! The power of the Black King has other uses, and this matter can only be entrusted to you. ”

Su Mo shook his head and emphasized this point again.

Seeing that Su Mo really didn't take care of herself, she really needed to play an important role by herself, so the girl gladly accepted it.

Subsequently, Su Mo taught Xia Mi to learn to delay the erosion of the Kuroshio through [Life Creation] and the power of the water element, and he opened a spatial door to the Pacific Ocean.

Before leaving, Su Mo said so.

"Nidhogg has been clinging to the red tide, and I'm going to scare him."
