"Don't you think there's a problem?"
"A problem?"
"Yes, the Solidification Bloom affected almost all the Dust Crocodiles, and they all survived. Why did they survive? If they can't move after being solidified, they should be easily eaten by wild creatures. "
The Scholar's words echoed in the dark cave.
The Scholar listened to a lot of information from the mini Dust Crocodiles and understood the Solidification Bloom that happened in the past. However, there was indeed a problem.
After the Dust Crocodiles woke up, they found that their world was occupied by wild creatures. Why weren't they eaten by wild creatures?
Solidified objects couldn't resist external damage. Even if their bodies stopped working, they would still be attacked.
So, there should be creatures eating them. Why weren't they eaten?
Another thing was that the Dust Crocodiles didn't seem to know about this. They didn't know what happened during the solidification process. They only judged what happened according to the changes in their surroundings after waking up.
However, there were so many camera equipment. Most of them shouldn't have solidified. Even if they stopped due to energy exhaustion, some of them shouldn't be damaged and could be used again.
"There's no information." To this, the mini Dust Crocodiles replied, "All the camera equipment found didn't capture any creatures."
"Is that so?" The Scholar said, "If that's the case, it started at that time …"
"… Started?" The mechanical Dust Crocodile asked curiously.
"That's right," the Scholar said. "After being solidified, you weren't in the same place. You disappeared like now. So, no matter how the environment changed, it wouldn't affect the solidified Dust Crocodiles."
"… But, where did they disappear to?"
…
In fact, it wasn't that the Dust Crocodiles didn't notice this problem. Of course, they did. At first, they thought that maybe the solidified people were missing and not … still in the same place.
However, they couldn't confirm the truth until an experiment was born. At that time, a device was invented.
It was called the Solidification Bloom Experimental Prototype Device. It was about ten meters in size, like a small house. It seemed very big and inconvenient, but compared to the entire Dust Crocodile Kingdom, it was very small.
This experimental prototype device could perfectly show … the scene at that time, which was the scene of the suicide squad detonating and triggering the Solidification Bloom.
A small solidification bloomed in the device.
Two solidified mushrooms were placed inside the device. They were mainly used to bloom and solidify. In addition, the device also used a special material as protection.
This protection was made from something that Dusty Crocodile had recently discovered. Its composition was something that Dusty Crocodile had never seen before, and this thing … was the only thing that would not solidify when it came into contact with the solidified mushroom.
Dusty Crocodile also called this material the 'Solidifying Isolation Material'. In a small-scale experiment, Dusty Crocodile successfully created a mini Solidifying Bloom.
The test subjects and creatures that Mini Bloom had put in to solidify were all solidified, and they didn't disappear. This made Dust Crocodile wonder if they would disappear.
Of course, going missing wasn't really that important. What was important was the effect.
To Dusty Crocodile, it was as if he had grasped the power of a god.
The Dust Crocodiles also believed in many gods, but their beliefs were slightly different from other creatures.
Most of the other creatures believed that they were living under the grace of God and had to work hard to worship God to receive rewards … or punishments.
Dusty Crocodile's belief was that God was a goal that they had to chase and eventually replace. They didn't worship this goal and pray for rewards, but they believed that they had to work hard to become as powerful as God.
Although Dusty Crocodile's belief made them seem like a more hardworking species, in fact, they weren't as powerful as the other races that prayed for rewards. They were about the same, and Dusty Crocodile wasn't even the most powerful one.
Until they found these solidified things, there was a change. Of course, it hadn't changed yet because the solidification research hadn't been used in actual combat.
When the mini experiment was completed, Dusty Crocodile thought that they were the most powerful one, but they were wrong.
Dusty Crocodile rebuilt their country after the solidification, and so did the other races. Compared to Dusty Crocodile who knew the reason for the solidification, the other races were more worried.
They wondered if Dusty Crocodile had activated a secret weapon or something. Although they were relieved when they found out that Dusty Crocodile's country had become like that, they were still worried.
Especially the two races that sent out the teams. A member of the "thief team" successfully escaped. Although he didn't bring the mushrooms, he told them about what happened there and what happened to his team.
This made the two races unable to wait any longer. They knew that their team had failed, and Dusty Crocodile might soon master this powerful weapon to deal with them.
This time, they planned to attack openly.
Since they couldn't do it secretly, they would do it directly. At least Dusty Crocodile didn't have complete control over it, so they had to act quickly.
With this thought, these races started to contact other races. Soon, the creatures in the countries around Dusty Crocodile reached a consensus, and that was to … deal with Dusty Crocodile.
After all, this incident was too scary for them.
However, they didn't directly send out their army or anything. Instead, they used the previous … treaties to negotiate with Dusty Crocodile.
They said that it was strictly forbidden to research secret powerful weapons, especially since this incident had caused such a huge impact. They demanded … that the research process must be made public, and other races could participate at any time.
Previously, Dusty Crocodile had allowed scientists from other races to participate, but then they slowly found various reasons to chase them away. In the end, only Dusty Crocodile was left in the research institute.
Now, they found another reason to come, and it seemed to be … quite reasonable.
Faced with the alliance of many races, Dusty Crocodile had no choice. Plus, they had just completed a small experiment, so they couldn't start a war with these races now.
Therefore, they reached … a new treaty. Dusty Crocodile agreed to their request and made the experiment public.
