Mother Tree No. 1, Meditation Room 01-9, Nesta Retreat

In the previous three seconds, although there were quite a lot of problems, I had to admit that as a 'mage' at that time, I was indeed better than I am in my current state.

At that time, Nesta's mind will be faster, her body will be more precise, and the magic and mental power she can use will be more powerful, and the many physical improvements she has considered during this period are also worth thinking about.

So, after sorting out his thoughts at the time, Nesta continued according to that pattern.....

Through the improvement of the operation process of the digital elf, supplemented by the totemic structure with cells as the cornerstone, he has successively established the internal circulation system of nutrients, gases, immune mutual assistance, metabolism and so on.

In the process, the transformation of blood is finally completed, and the rest of the viscera gradually disintegrates, and finally Nesta's body becomes a 'solid structure'.

If it used to be a combination of 'cell-organ-body' and other structures, it has now changed to a model in which cells directly form the body.....

This is a slow process, and the body and the visualization body are constantly adapting to each other, and it takes a relatively long time to complete this series of steps step by step.

By the time he came back to his senses, Nesta had become a 'purple ooze monster' that took up most of the lower space of the pod;

In addition to the lonely brain, the limbs, head, facial features, hair, and genitals are all gone, and the structure of the body is almost indistinguishable from the surface of the body......

'This.... An ugly word is no longer enough to describe my current state...'

In addition to this strange 'sludge', there are also some strange silvery and black substances in the culture chamber at this time, which either sink to the bottom or float in the culture medium, and take on an obvious metallic color......

Previously, Nestana's hundreds of billions, nearly a trillion cells, had undergone a total disintegration, and under the influence of 'mental power', or whatever else had sustained his mind;

This ability has now been lost in the brain's dominant thinking, but its after-effects have remained until now.....

As we all know, the hardest tissues in the elves' bodies are the bones, which support the contours of the body like strong scaffolds;

However, the hardness of bones does not come from the bone cells themselves, and their hardness depends more on the composition and structure of the components that extend out.

Elven bones alone are composed of water, fat, organic matter, and inorganic salts containing metals.

They are combined in a very delicate organizational structure to form a solid and resilient overall structure.

Among them, the organic matter is tightly and layered into a network structure, which gives elasticity and toughness to the bones, and the inorganic substances are filled into the network structure, giving the bones hardness and firmness.

In the previous and only previous cell disintegration, the bone cells that originally maintained morphological inertia after multifunctional lost most of the metal inorganic salts;

Its body is the silver or black metal-like substances in the culture cabin at this time.

And this is one of the reasons why Nesta now maintains the appearance of a 'ooze monster'....

Undoubtedly, he once again ushered in the embarrassing situation that the 'pathfinder' had to face, and once again stepped on the unknown risk in the process of moving forward;

is somewhat helpless, but he can't continue to make progress if he doesn't go on an adventure, and he is naturally mentally prepared.....

Fortunately, the evolved multifunctional cells now all have the property of 'raw bones', so this encounter is not irreparable;

With some time and resources, the missing bone structure can be replaced.

In addition, although the skeletal structure of the organism has extremely high strength and can withstand great stress, it is relatively poor in stiffness, so it cannot withstand deformation;

Even though the elves' bones inherited from trolls are already very strong, this 'weakness' is real because of its structural characteristics.

And now this 'loss' happens to be a window to improve that.....

Therefore, after thinking about it and getting a draft, Nesta, who still maintains the form of a soft mud monster, began to improve himself.

He first used a spell to adjust the supply mode of the cultivation pod, allowing it to input a portion of volcanic magma to replenish the needs at this time, and then began to 'eat';

In addition, the substances that were previously excreted from the body should not be let go, and at this time they were also wrapped in ooze monsters and absorbed into cells.

In this process, he actively intervened in the operation of the visualization body, and began to adjust the newly generated bones according to the plan he had just formed;

Under extremely precise control, the cells 'swallow' the substances they need, and the tiny bones they 'spit out' are beyond the traditional structure, with additional totem patterns, and a three-dimensional inscription scheme is applied according to the pattern of armor construction.....

As time passed, the ooze monsters in the pod gradually took on a form, and after a period of time, they reverted to Nesta's original form, but the interior was still solid.

After exiting meditation, he opened his eyes and felt the stronger body at this time, but Nesta was not satisfied;

He realized that he seemed to have fallen into a 'misunderstanding' of thinking, whether it was necessary or not, blindly imitating what he was 'natural'.....

However, now he is definitely not natural, and there are no such messy but powerful armor totem effects in the original bones.

So why not go further?

So he closed his eyes again, went into a meditative state, and began to try something 'very new'.....

The bones that had been confined to the body began to proliferate, and the cells on the surface of the body gave way under the control of meditation.

Later, the bones with a metallic sheen and mysterious lines 'broke' out of the body, and spread out on the surface of the body, gradually forming a solid scale-like structure;

Then the textures are combined with each other, and their fine totems climb up the surface and even the interior of the 'scale-like armor', forming a more solid support structure and defense system.

Nesta's eyes were open again, and she tried to flex her arms in the viscous liquid, the scales overlapping each other at the joints, giving room to stretch, without much of an impact on her movements.

Nesta felt that his current appearance was very similar to the 'half-dragon man' in his previous life, and his whole body was almost completely covered by armor, which felt very handsome and not flashy;

However, he felt that his thinking was still a little limited, and he could have done more.....

As a result, Nesta stopped his movements for a moment and began to expand the space inside the pod;

Originally, this cultivation chamber was only about five meters high, which was more than enough for Nesta's size, but the next plan was not something that this volume could support.

Therefore, under his control, the size of the cultivation chamber gradually expanded, until it occupied most of the space in the entire meditation room;

At this time, it has a length of 15 meters, a width of 8 meters, and a thickness of 8 meters, and the nutrient solution, which was originally quite full, seems to have become much less, and only a shallow layer has accumulated in the bilge.

Then, the next step is to supplement the nutrient solution;

At this time, Nesta was not a selfish fellow, and he called almost all of the nutrient concentrates produced by the mother tree itself, rather than the Cave Wolf Cell Liquid, which was really not needed at this time.

After doing this, he found a good position to lie down and began to adjust his body again.....

As a result, the scale armor began to become fine and thick, and there were other totems on it that had nothing to do with 'armor protection', and they also began to appear.

That's the reactor weapon, the wind wolf weapon, the sensory bonus system, the neural control system, the hydraulic buffer system.....

When these familiar objects were formed one after another, an external armor with similar functions to the combat armored appeared on his body, and its application materials were all 'home-produced' bone layer.

The elves inherited and sublimated the strength of the troll's bones, and were inherently inherently strong;

In addition, the totemic effects added during this period made this set of body surface weapons that I don't know whether to say 'armor' or 'body' be endowed with extremely powerful performance.

At the moment, Nesta has made a small drive attempt with the 'braid' that he has just 'grown', and is very satisfied with its functionality;

However, in the process, new ideas came to his mind.....

'I'm an armored elf now, which seems perverted enough, but not perverted enough..... After all, isn't there a saying that is good - flesh and blood are weak, and machinery soars; ’

'Then try again......

With this in mind, the supply of 'magma', 'culture fluid' and other substances in the pipeline began to accelerate;

And he also used this to further expand the size of the body surface armor, and control a part of his non-bone cells to 'flow' into it, and produce a closer bond;

As a result, a big guy with Nesta and Nesta appeared and formed a set of actions that can move as he pleases, as if he is controlling his own body.

He' is over twelve meters tall, looks like a large battle armor, and the inner nest of Nesta is almost glued to the cockpit, and the form has lost its elven characteristics and resembles a strange ball of flesh.

I tried to stretch a little in the culture cabin, and found that there was still some structural stagnation in its operation, and the bone structure in my body that had been formed out of habit had become a burden again.....

At this point, he simply did not stop doing anything, completely abandoned all his morphological characteristics, and made several improvements with it;

】

First, the bone structure used to support one's own body is removed, and the cells are further combined with the armor, making them their own external and self-existing as the 'center';

Second, the material and structure of the bone armor are adjusted, and the effect of tendons and other tissues is simulated through the organic combination of bone materials and plant materials, so as to reconstruct a body that is more in line with the biological structure but integrates the application of totem technology.

Third, construct a mimic elven body surface to endow it with more biological senses.

With the implementation of these measures, the metallic color of the bone on the body gradually faded, and some obvious plant material textures appeared locally.

Later, the body surface is gradually covered with muscles, skin, and hair, and facial features are structured, and diamond-like eyes appear in the eye sockets.

In addition, the front end of the crotch forms a cloaca that can be opened and closed;

A portion of the cells belonging to Nesta formed the 'Fifth Limb' and the two projectiles that were used to match them, and when they proved to be feasible, they disintegrated again into the overall structure.

The change came to a moment of stagnation, but then a hip-shaped structure was formed;

In essence, it is actually an openable and closable waste discharge hole, and a long retractable tail extends from the upper coccyx, and at the end of it, it is an attack structure that can switch between the form of a heavy hammer and a circular blade.

At the same time, a series of simulating organs are formed inside the body, including the four lungs, the two hearts (heart and implant), multiple stomachs, braids, blood vessels, and ..... And while simulating the appearance of the elves' viscera, they are endowed with similar, but not identical, functions;

For example, the main heart and blood vessels are used to adjust the hydraulic movement function of the body;

For example, the accessory heart (imitation implant) can be used to supply energy when the rest of the device needs to be externalized;

For example, the four lungs are the gas generation cavity, the combustion cavity, and the power transmission cavity;

Another example is polygastric, when it is necessary to further increase the size and enhance the function, it can devour metals, wood, and nutrients to accelerate the formation of corresponding materials;

There is also the braid, which functions like the elves' 'external plexus' at this time, and Nesta can also use it to complete 'wordless communication' and control some totemic machines in the non-casting state.

At the same time, a fake brain was generated in the cranial cavity;

In terms of appearance, although it imitates the appearance of the brain, it actually integrates auxiliary totem function modules such as 'perception', 'sensory enhancement', and 'night vision';

Moreover, his follow-up transformation plan Nesta also has it, but he can't do it for the time being, so he plans to get his own brain done first......

At this point, a twelve-meter-tall Nesta finally appeared in its entirety in the pod;

Except for the 'true brain' hidden in the core of the chest cavity under the protection of layers of armor, and its attached structure, the concept of 'driver' no longer exists in this body.... Because, the degree of binding between his cells and this 'body' is close to 90%.

In addition, because almost all places outside the 'True Brain Cabin' are used to stack totem structures, this body has a very strong function, and the dense armor layer and high-density bone structure make it weigh about 150 tons.

At this moment, Nesta opened her 'eyes' again and began to feel her new self carefully.....

In a way, this is indeed his body, because all its matter is born of him and controlled by him;

In essence, it is like the skeletal structure in the original body, but these 'bones' seem to grow too much, too big, and too comprehensive, so the 'noisy' preempts the position of the rest of the tissues in the body.

Moreover, this is still a body that can be discarded, replaced, and upgraded at any time to become more powerful;

While maintaining the appearance and posture of the elves, Nesta can add or remove totems at will, and adjust a series of additional functions;

For example, he can grow a jet engine on his back, create tracks in his legs, turn his entire arm into a thick barrel, further thicken his armor defenses, and so on.

While creating and activating the above functions with a totem, your own spellcasting ability can also work as usual, resulting in stronger overall performance and more flexible tactical options.

Rest..... It doesn't seem like there's much of a difference?

For example, the senses of vision (Nesta cells in the diamond eyes), smell, and hearing are all based on their own cells, but they are reinforced by the totemic effect;

When eating, the body can eat meat and drink water in addition to edible magma, soil, etc., thus providing nutrients for Nesta's cells;

And if necessary, his senses can also concentrate on the tongue and nose, so as to enjoy the taste of food;

During mating, the cloaca will be opened, and its own cells will reconstruct all the parts they need, and then they will get the same enjoyment as before, and even more tricks can be done, such as time, dimension, quantity, impact strength, and so on......

In addition, during daily activities, the cell population will 'flow' to the surface of the body, making the skin resembling real skin;

When fighting, it can reduce the coverage of its own cells, ensuring the energy conversion of the body surface and tactile feedback while giving the maximum protection of the cell population.

All in all, Nesta is quite satisfied with this new body, and presumably Azhara will be very happy too, right?

"No.... I seem to be too heavy and too big, and although the performance can support this data, it will be inconvenient in other aspects. ”

New Nesta's mouth opened and closed, making a sound that was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary elf....

At the same time, he also remembered that he had already completed an advancement, and according to his previous experience, the perception of spell-like disturbances would be strengthened because of this;

That is to say, if he can calm down and study for a while, he will undoubtedly master more sophisticated rune techniques, and the totem technology will take another step forward because of it;

In this case, it will be possible to 'shrink' while maintaining the same performance, and if necessary, you can increase your size to gain more powerful combat power than you do now.

If you think of that, you will do it, anyway, I still don't have a clue about the processing of the brain, and I can still remember the side effects of the previous three seconds;

Moreover, maybe the rune spell ability after the completion of the foundation can in turn promote the next step of upgrading?

So, Nesta started to retreat again, but before he actually entered, he once again left a message for Azara....

On the one hand, I want to talk about my longing;

On the other hand, considering that Aishara had been stranded in the third order for many years, her cell conversion rate was not low, so she needed to be reminded not to touch the brain tissue for the time being, but to wait for her side to explore the way clearly.

After leaving the corresponding information, Nesta began the precipitation of the fourth-order spell, and the entry point he chose was naturally the technique used in this body at this time.....

After a period of time that was by no means short, he made breakthroughs in the volume of the armor layer, the aerodynamic layout, the efficiency of the engine, the speed of fuel generation, and many other aspects, and then began to improve his body.

As a result, the new body began to shrink little by little, and the various exposed, hidden, or reserved areas of armament on it became more and more capable and powerful;

11 meters.... 9 m.... 7 m....

At this point, the reduction of size became more difficult, and after thinking for a while, Nesta decided to abandon some of the permanent armaments and turn them into a 'use as you go' model;

For example, changing the ranged attack mod for the hand from full to reserved....

After that, the size of the body was reduced again. It was eventually limited to about 4.7 meters and 18 tons.

Although this data is still a little too tall and heavy compared to the 3.5 meters and 1.5 tons that elves are common, there is a 'human' at all, isn't it?

And it's even more expensive to scale down, and you have to give up a lot of the offensive and defensive features.

"Anyway, this weight is also within the range of Aisara's physical body, so that's it, right?"

In the end, Nesta made such a decision ....

~~~~~~

While Nesta was concentrating on retreat, years had passed from the outside world.....

In the 76th year of the Rune Calendar, Aishara ascended to the fourth rank and began to promote technological progress;

In the 77th year of the rune calendar, the 'Mengfowl Druyin' was officially finalized, and with the in-depth study of the kind of monster named 'Rapid Bird', the follow-up improvement plan of the aircraft was also given more theoretical and technical support;

In the same year, the 'Individual Armor' had stronger performance without increasing its size;

In the same year, the 'flight mode' based on reconnaissance armor was successfully developed;

With the physical support of the internal armored troops, it can fly at a speed of 460 km/dh for about 2 light hours, and its flight duration increases as the speed slows down, and it can also maintain a high intensity of about 4 light hours in the air state.

In the 79th year of the rune calendar, the thick fangs and fangs broke through the fourth order one after another, and began to promote the progress of magic and totem technology together with Azhara.

In the 80th year of the rune calendar, the 'large carrier aircraft' successfully flew test, the 'second-generation jet' aircraft broke through the speed of sound, and the rest of the totem weapons also had huge development....

And so on, it is another year of technological harvest, and the harvest of these achievements is not only the effect of the accumulation of technology all the time, but also closely related to the breakthrough of the three witch doctors.

In the 81st year of the rune calendar, 20,000 were added to the No. 1 mother tree;

So far, the total 'human' population of the Republic has reached 111,348, the proportion of tree elves has reached nearly 40%, the number of witch doctors has risen to 3,073, accounting for 0.27%, the third rank of the fourth order, the third rank 48, the second order 2,569, and the first order 452.
