The Earth Elemental Plane recognized the three Elemental Lords that shouldn't be provoked. One was the one from the Gem Pit, and the other was the one from the Iron Wall. These two were at the top of the Warrior and Mage realms. The third one was the Snake King Odessa. The reason why he shouldn't be provoked was obvious. It was because of his unfathomably huge body.
The normal way to defeat an Earth Elemental Creature was to smash it. Smash it until it broke into pieces, and you won. Smash it until it turned into powder and couldn't be restored, and you killed an Elemental Creature and let it return to the embrace of the Spirit of the Earth Mother.
But it was several kilometers long, more than ten meters tall, and more than ten meters wide. There was no way to smash it! How much damage could it do to the Snake King Odessa if he scraped off a bit of its skin or a few of its scales?
There was a saying in his hometown: hit the snake where it hurts. It meant that even the most venomous snake would be killed with one hit. But that was for normal creatures. The Snake King didn't have such an obvious weakness. Unless there was a way to break into its body and attack the core of the Snake King, it would be impossible to defeat it by attacking from the outside.
And if one wanted to go inside … the Snake King Odessa wasn't just a snake.
Since it was an Elemental Lord, it must have a territory and people under its control. It was only when it was recognized by the Spirit of the Earth Mother that it could be considered an Elemental Lord.
The special thing about the Snake King was that it was a 'mobile' territory recognized by the Spirit of the Earth Mother. As for the people under its protection, they all lived inside and outside of its body.
To be accepted by an Elemental Lord and live in the Snake King's body, of course, they wouldn't be like the elemental creatures from West Wind Valley or Moonlight Bay. So, all intruders who broke into the Snake King's body would have to face an Elemental Lord's personal guards and would face endless resistance.
From this perspective, it was incredible that a certain someone and the Lich could break into the core of the Snake King's Elemental Lord. But this was also because the two of them didn't have any evil intentions. The Snake King was also very interested in them, which led to the development of the situation.
Now that he was leading the mecha race to meet the Snake King again, he had no idea what would happen. Would it be a good development or a bad development? Because the fire seed was still in his hands, Lin sensed some very special changes the moment Olean defeated Pablo. He also understood some of the special operating laws of this world.
The title of Elemental Overlord was not like the human nobles. It was not just a title given to them by their superior nobles. It was also purely a symbolic title. Instead, it was recognized by a world and had a deeper connection with the Spirit of the Earth Mother. It was an existence that protected the Elemental Plane together with the Spirit of the Earth Mother. Therefore, the Elemental Lords had their own regional divisions, which were related to the number of creatures under their jurisdiction.
Using Earth as an example, if all the elemental creatures were connected by physical lines, they were all computers in the same network. The Spirit of the Earth Mother was the host that managed all the computers in the network. In order to ensure the quality of the network, hubs or switches must be installed at intervals to regenerate and amplify the signals transmitted through the RJ-45 wires.
The function of the Elemental Overlord in this world was like a hub or a switch. In order to integrate all the elemental creatures firmly, the Elemental Overlord was essential.
This was also why after the Elemental Overlord was challenged, the victor would inherit the title and become the next Elemental Overlord. This caused everyone to misunderstand that the Elemental Overlord was only the one who was the best at fighting in a region. Actually, being the best at fighting was just an additional result to ensure that the network that connected the entire world would not be disconnected. It was not a necessary condition.
Therefore, when Olean defeated Pablo, the power of the Elemental Overlord seeped out from the dismembered body of the giant bear. According to the rules of the world, this power should belong to the victor, which was the leader-level mecha, Olean. But for some reason, the tall mecha holding the bear's head high could not absorb this power. Instead, it floated towards Lin and was absorbed by the fire seed that was the source of the mecha.
Lin Huang could not comment on whether this was a good or bad thing for the time being. As for the appearance of the Snake King Odessa, who was also an Elemental Overlord, at this time, Lin Huang could not determine whether it would be a good or bad thing.
The snake's head towered into the sky as it looked down at everyone. There was not a trace of emotion in it. Not to mention the elemental creatures that were scared out of their wits by the mecha, all of them were cowering under the gaze of this giant snake. Even the mecha who had just won a battle felt like mice trying to pull a turtle when faced with such a huge opponent. They did not know where to start.
Would they be able to kill the opponent with a concentrated fire of the railgun?
This question appeared in the minds of most of the mecha. Before they could think of an answer, everyone was suddenly shocked! The Snake King's towering aura was already frightening enough. However, with its back facing the sun, countless fluorescent dots appeared in the shadow of its abdomen. Everyone understood that this was caused by the elemental creatures that were parasitic on the Snake King's body. They were staring at their own jade eyes and reflecting the weak light from the back.
Had their malice been detected and they were ready to fight? Everyone had such doubts in their minds. The next moment, everyone panicked and fled in all directions. That was because the Snake King raised its body and pounced towards the battlefield.
The elemental creatures that surrendered panicked and did not know where to run. With the support of the tactical command platform, the mecha were able to calculate the exact position of the Snake King after it fell. Therefore, they only needed to avoid that area. No one thought of resisting or blocking the giant snake that was pouncing down.
Lin and Fen did not dodge because they could see that the Snake King was pouncing in their direction. The snake head was also facing the two of them. In the end, as expected, the Snake King did not land on top of their heads. Instead, its head landed not far in front of them. With a loud boom, sand and dust filled the air.
The Snake King landed on the ground, causing a huge commotion. In addition to the sand and dust that filled the air, it also caused a small earthquake. The two magicians used the Levitation Spell to lift themselves slightly off the ground so that they would not be shaken. No mecha were flattened, but many elemental creatures were flattened because they could not escape in time.
So, what would happen next? Lin Cai thought in his heart. Suddenly, a snowflake of noise appeared in the corner of his vision.
This is …?
When the screen of the tactical command platform returned to normal, a row of complicated mathematical formulas, mainly trigonometric functions, appeared abruptly. Lin looked at it carefully and realized that it was a boomerang trajectory formula that was developed based on Bernoulli's law.
Moreover, this formula was still being refreshed on the platform over and over again. One could imagine how excited the giant snake was at the moment. Especially after Fen joined in the conversation with the Snake King about the mathematical formulas, the speed of the refreshes increased by another level. It was obvious that the Snake King's mood was even higher after receiving the response.
However, Lin Huang's thoughts were that pets acting cute might make people feel that they were very cute. However, when a giant creature like the Snake King acted cute, it would only make people feel that it was very scary …
