Chapter 51: 'Marcus'?
"Yorkham, what the 'Blood Lake' and Mother Springs want is for us to take the Titans out! Caterina looked at it a few times and asked in a low voice.
"There is this possibility, after all, these 'Titans' are all born transcendents, they are a lot of power, if it is a person who is interested in power, they will definitely keep them. ”
Yorkham Jones nodded, and added:
"But it should only be one of the options, not the whole story, because if we meet someone like us who is ready to exterminate the 'Titans', the plan will definitely fail..."
After a few words, Yorkham Jones took a closer look at the Titans.
Not only is the dwelling like a beehive, but the social type is also a 'group structure' type.
"What are you thinking, Yokham?" Caterina interrupted Yokham Jones again.
"My captain, do you have so many questions forever?"
Yorkham Jones glared and asked:
"Captain, what do you think the final social structure of a civilization looks like?"
"I didn't think about it... Why are you asking me this? I'm not a scientist, I'm a pirate!" Caterina glared back immediately.
Yorkham Jones smiled slightly, and said to himself:
"The individual brain, or 'potential', is finite, and as long as it develops to a certain threshold, both individuals and civilizations will stagnate. ”
"Even if you can unite all the individuals together, there are thresholds and limits, but this threshold will be larger, and the limits of development will be farther. ”
"Like bees or ants, they can't survive on their own because they're too small. ”
"Therefore, the social structure of bees and ants is the 'group structure', and each individual ant or bee is similar to a brain neuron for the whole, and the aggregate of the whole bee and ant is a complete brain. ”
"However, even if they are aggregated into super brains, they still cannot produce intelligence, because their individual brains, or the threshold of 'potential', are too low, and even if they are aggregated, they will not be able to move in a higher direction. ”
Then, Yorkham Jones pointed to the 'Titans':
"Their social structure is also a 'group structure', but their individual potential surpasses that of humans, so they can not only do what humans can accomplish individually, but also come together to accomplish what humans cannot. ”
"What do you want to say, dear Jones, please?" said Katerina, covering her head and reaching out to pinch Yorkham Jones's face.
"I would say that their potential is too high, and this potential almost threatens the survival of humanity, so they cannot be let out. ”
Yorkham Jones narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"As a member of the human race, you have to kill creatures that might threaten your race, even if there is only a 1 in 100 million chance. ”
"What about the 'Divine Relic'?" asked Caterina in a whisper.
"The 'Divine Relic' has been cultivated as food since birth, and although they are self-conscious, they do not know how to use it, and they can be brought to the human world..."
Yorkham Jones nodded, and added:
"As long as they modify their education, they will naturally think of themselves as humans, after all, their appearance and physical characteristics are the same as humans... Even if they are really good in the future, they are only a smart and powerful part of the human race, not other creatures. ”
Caterina didn't reply, she stared at Yorkham Jones for a long time before she said:
"Yorkham, you've suddenly become so cruel!"
"Individual survival is extremely cruel, let alone a race. ”
Yorkham Jones smiled softly and stopped.
Elder Darla also stopped.
They had made it to the top, and Darla grinned and looked back at Yorkham Jones and Katerina.
He looked at it with a look of hope, but he would never have known that the fate of his race had been condemned to death by Yorkham Jones just a moment before.
In front of Yorkham Jones, there was a solidified round spring, with a radius of about 5 meters, and a crack in the center opened slightly, as if it was breathing.
Suddenly, the familiar cry for help reappeared, and it came from the rift:
"Help!
Huh, why does the sound come from here?
Could it be that the 'Mother Spring' and the 'Lake of Blood' are connected?
"Yorkham, do you want to set it on fire?" asked Katerina.
Instead of answering, Yorkham Jones continued to think:
"Isn't it dangerous?"
"Using external forces to thaw the 'Mother Spring', could it be the plan of the 'Mother Spring'?"
"How do these two Second Age bosses want to be resurrected in the Human Era?"
"Help!
The cry for help reappeared, looking very impatient.
Moreover, Yorkham Jones found that only they seemed to be able to hear the voice, and Elder Darla could not hear it at all.
Is it really Marcus?
With a question in his heart, Yorkham Jones immediately made a decision, he turned to look at Caterina and said:
"Burn it, burn it here, make it bigger, and see what the hidden thing behind it wants to do. ”
"Okay! I've wanted to send them on their way for a long time!"
Caterina sneered, and the magic card appeared in the palm of her hand, and she pulled out 4 blue cards and 1 purple card.
The purple card transforms into a strange eye, and the 4 blue cards transform into various grass and tree creatures.
Then, a golden light flashed at Caterina's heart, and clusters of red-gold flames appeared on her.
With a wave of Katarina's small hand, the grass and trees transformed by the four blue cards rushed into the flames, and then, the ignited golden flames suddenly rose a few points.
Immediately afterward, the strange eyes of the purple card began to grow larger, and a transparent concave and convex chip was formed.
At the same time, a colorful feathered tail suddenly grew on Katerina's buttocks.
In his eyes, Yorkham Jones seemed to see the legendary immortal bird.
In an instant, Caterina opened her mouth, and a flame erupted.
The flames did not spew towards the 'Mother Fountain', but towards the concave and convex wafer eyes.
The concave and convex lenses turned their eyes strangely, and when the golden flame penetrated it, it was transformed into a black flame.
There was only one wisp of black flame, like a heart of flame wrapped in a solar flare.
The moment it falls to the 'Mother Spring', the solidified ice evaporates instantly.
Even the icy environment around him became hot, like a fireland.
In an instant, everything was fiery red, and even the floor became a fiery red burnt board.
"Ram, Ram!" Dara suddenly yelled and bowed to Katarina.
Then, all the 'Titans' bowed down to Katerina.
The flame did not stop burning, it kept rising, not only burning the mother spring, but also burning the purple mountain, and blooming countless sparks towards each 'titan'.
The black sparks ignited the Titans, and their bodies began to melt, but they didn't let out any screams of pain, they just shouted 'Ram' with the same devotion in their eyes as when the believers went to the kingdom of God.
The purple mountain turned red, looking like a lava mountain, but the purple mountain still hadn't melted a bit.
Seeing the flames rushing out of the hole, Caterina hurriedly took out a blue card.
Blue Card is a kangaroo-like creature, and with a roll of his eyes, he jumps out of the hole and pockets all the 'Divine Relics' hanging in the cage.
Soon, the 'Titan' was burned into clusters of fireworks, but everything was still very quiet, and the hidden power behind it was still inactive.
Seeing that the ice that had frozen the 'Mother Spring' had completely disappeared, Caterina put away the flames and looked at Yorkham Jones:
"Yorkham, there's no movement, we're not going to keep fighting the air, are we?"
"Because these 'Titans' don't matter at all. ”
Yorkham Jones replied, and stared intently at the thawed 'Mother Spring'.
The Mother Spring is also blood-red, even more blood-red than the 'Blood Lake', and looks like thick blood.
Looking at the tumbling blood, Yorkham Jones couldn't help muttering:
"Is it completely infected, or is the relationship between the 'Mother Spring' and the 'Blood Lake' not as simple as I reasoned..."
At this moment, the crack in the center of the 'Mother Spring' opened violently.
"Retreat. Feeling the energy that was about to erupt, Yorkham Jones quickly turned his head.
"Hmm. Caterina nodded slightly, and directly pulled Yorkham Jones into the air.
Immediately afterward, pieces of blood-red solid were sprayed out, and quickly melted and shaped.
Each piece of blood-red solid molded into a newborn Titan, with adults, old people, and children, and in just a few minutes, five or six hundred appeared.
Moreover, these Titans naturally inherited wisdom and memory, and when they looked at them, they bowed down to Caterina and shouted 'Ram' in the same way.
The eruption of the 'Mother Spring' did not stop, it erupted again in waves, and when the number of Titans reached a thousand, the 'Mother Spring' stopped, and ice crystals appeared.
"The one who shouted for help was still inside, and continued to light the fire. When Yorkham Jones saw this, he looked at Caterina again.
"Are these newborn Titans going to be killed?" Caterina gestured to the 'Titans' who were bowing down to her.
"Don't worry, keep it for now, just for the test. Yorkham Jones replied softly.
Caterina nodded, did not speak, and with a sharp swing of the colorful feather tail, the flames of seven colors immediately flew out and merged into a white flame.
It's about the same temperature as a black flame...
However, the destructive aura became sacred...
Yorkham Jones thought about it, and muttered inwardly:
"Judging from Katarina's mastery, her combat power of complete explosion should be even stronger than the average domain level... So the trip should be safe. ”
As Yorkham Jones muttered, the white flame once again ignited the Mother Spring.
Then, the 'Mother Spring' erupted several waves of Titans in succession.
This time, it took 2,000 Titans to erupt before the Mother Spring appeared to condense.
"Go on, it still doesn't show up. Yorkham Jones added.
"Hmm!" Caterina wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with her small hand, took a deep breath, and then swung a colorful flame again.
As the flames fused to white, the 'Mother Spring' was lit again.
This time, under the violent burning, the 'Mother Spring' did not erupt anything, it just opened the crack very hard, as if it was stuck in something.
After two glances, Yorkham Jones asked:
"Captain, is there a more powerful flame?"
"Yes, but my consumption is very serious, and if I increase my firepower, I will not be able to protect you, and I will even ask you to protect me for a while. Caterina replied softly.
"It's okay, I'll protect you. Yorkham Jones turned his head and smiled softly.
"Hmm. Caterina didn't say much, nodded, opened her small mouth, and spewed out a cloud of golden red flames, which transformed from the bumpy chip eyes into black flames.
Then, Caterina unleashed a rainbow of flames with her feather tail.
The colors merge into white, and white and black blend again.
Then, all the colors were gone, even the outline of the flames was gone, and the only thing that could be felt was the blazing heat that melted everything.
If I didn't have the purification property, I would probably only be able to stick to it for 30S...
As Yorkham Jones muttered, the colorless flame of formlessness had pounced on the 'Mother Spring'.
Ahh
In just a moment, the 'Mother Spring' let out a great wail of pain.
Then, countless blood-red solids were sprayed out.
Jokham Jones estimated that it was about 10,000.
But it wasn't over yet, the crack in the middle of the 'Mother Spring' was getting bigger and bigger, and the blood-red light began to flicker, as if it was about to spew out the last thing.
The blood-red light flickered, and the tens of thousands of 'Titans' that had just been spewed out began to take shape.
Then, all the Titans stopped bowing to Katarina, and they all turned and bowed to the Mother Spring, as if they were the kings of a race.
After a while, an ancient low sound sounded, and an inverted triangular rune appeared in the 'Mother Spring'.
With the simultaneous bloom of sound and light, a giant triangular blood-red solid flew out.
It was very large, nearly ten times larger than the blood-red solid that had erupted earlier.
After falling to the ground, the huge triangular blood-red solid began to melt and shape.
Slowly, a mature man nearly four meters tall sketched in the eyes of Yorkham Jones.
Everything about it was different from the 'Titan' next to it, his skin was gold and silver, and the inverted triangular runes were outlined in every position except the center of his eyebrows.
Through the Eye of Light, Yorkham Jones could determine that his rank was 'Sun', even reaching the half-step 'Sage'.
"Yorkham... I don't have the strength to deal with him now...", and after two glances, the weakened Caterina lay gently on Yorkham Jones's back.
"He doesn't have to be an enemy. ”
"Also, I promise you, I will protect you. ”
Yorkham Jones lifted Katerina's thigh with his left hand and lifted her on her back completely, staring at the still shaping Titan.
Although his appearance is a little rougher, he is indeed Marcus...
The previous femininity is gone, and now it looks like it's really handsome, and the level is still jumping in a row, why don't I have this opportunity!
As Yorkham Jones complained, a pair of bloody wings grew from 'Marcus' back, and golden armor covered his body.
At this time, the 'Mother Spring' erupted again.
What flew out this time was also two triangular blood-red solids, but they were relatively small.
Slowly, the two small triangular blood-red solids also began to decompose and shape.
The silhouette is two weapons, a golden axe, and a blood-colored chain.
When the two weapons fell into Marcus's hands, Yorkham Jones' right hand had already grasped the Ghost Doll.
PS: Refixed, good night.
