Snake King Odessa coiled up his huge body for the first time in a long time. He was always on the move, so he rarely made such defensive movements.
He raised his head, still looking like he could reach the sky. Standing near his coiled body and looking up, Lin felt like he was looking at a skyscraper in his hometown.
The elemental creatures that were originally parasitic on his body had all retreated today. At this moment, Lin could understand why the Snake King was ranked third in the list of the people in the Earth Elemental Plane that they did not want to be enemies with.
The elemental creatures that retreated from the Snake King numbered more than a hundred thousand, far more than the current number of machines. With this number, it was a proper 'super large' gathering place among the elemental creatures.
Although the proportion of small elemental creatures in such a large number was quite high, this did not mean that these 'little guys' were weak. The light of their souls was very dazzling, making it difficult to look directly at them. After all, they were elemental spirits that followed an elemental lord. In the Earth Elemental Plane, they were second only to the Gem Pit and Iron Wall, who were the top existences.
And with a closer look, one could roughly tell that the elemental creatures that followed the Snake King were actually high-grade elemental creatures with a relatively high degree of purification. It was just that they did not follow the path of gems, nor did they follow the path of metals. Instead, they followed the same path as the Snake King and chose to follow the path of stone. A small number of them followed the path of jade.
It could be said that if the Gem Pit, who was good at magic, and the Iron Wall, who was good at close combat and mainly followed the path of metals, the Snake King Odessa should have gathered a third type of force that was different from the first two, stone and jade.
But the reason why they could not mix in with the name of a top force like the first two. Other than the fact that they could not speak the elemental language and could not communicate with others, it was because the growth limit of the stone type was too low, inferior to gems and metals.
Perhaps jade had great potential, just like the Snake King's white jade body. But there were too few elemental creatures that chose this path, causing this type of powerhouse to be unable to hold up a clear banner.
But regardless of whether this group of elemental creatures that could not speak had made the right choice in the past or not, they had now stepped on the path of change. The Snake King, who led 100,000 people, was the vanguard of the revolution. As the leader, he would prove to the elemental creatures that were attached to him that the next path would be the key to their evolution … or a bottomless abyss.
He confirmed that everyone was ready. Not only the Snake King Odessa, but also all the Mechs and elemental creatures that were watching from the side. This was because if something were to happen in the future, it was very likely that they would need to save the situation. Of course, it was also possible that they would not be able to save the situation.
No matter what would happen in the future, it was better to be prepared than not. In any case, this was the first time an Elemental Lord had been modified by a Flame Seed since the creation of the Automaton race. Whether the outcome was good or bad, whether the process was smooth or not, no one dared to make any guarantees.
This was because they knew better than the human mage that the difference between Elemental Lords and Elemental Creatures and Elemental Fairies was not only in terms of rank, but also in terms of existence. Since elemental creatures could be easily modified by fire elemental fire, it would be quite interesting to see if Elemental Lords could do the same.
However, the man who led all of this did not know about these things. In other words, his understanding of the Elemental Plane of Earth was still at a smattering. Instead of saying that it was a natural change, it would be better to say that a man who was not confident subconsciously wanted to test where his limits were and then mess around.
Now, Lin held the Flame Seed in his hands again. He repeated the same conditions: support him in borrowing the power of the Elemental Spirits, and help him conquer the Outer Realm five times. No matter how many people he helped, he did not care how many times he had to repeat it in a day. Lin tirelessly repeated this request before each modification. And after obtaining consent, he began the modification.
This was almost like a Miranda declaration before the Mei Empire's police arrested a criminal. A certain person really wanted to get a tape recorder, so he might as well use it to save some saliva. However, Lin was familiar with the nature of this idealistic world. He knew that every word he said would have some unexpected effect, and it was difficult to ignore it.
What was different was that the declaration this time was not in the language of the Elemental Elves, but in a way that the Snake King Odessa could understand, which was a mathematical communication method. There was nothing to say about the rigor of mathematical formulas. One was one, two was two. There would never be an unequal situation between the two sides of the equal sign. However, if it was used as a language to communicate, it would be a little abstract.
Should the formula of a regression curve be explained in terms of a formula or a diagram?
Should it be solved?
In the case of using a specific mathematical symbol, should it simply use this mathematical symbol, or should it extend the meaning of its representation?
These vague areas made it difficult to use mathematical methods to communicate. Most of the time was to confirm whether the two parties had accurately conveyed their meaning, and whether they had indeed received the meaning.
Therefore, it took him quite a long time to communicate with the Snake King with just a simple sentence. Even so, being able to communicate normally with most people still earned the Snake King's gratitude. He had even cut out a part of his Elven Core and gave it to others.
However, Odessa's reply was only one. It was a simple number, 1. It had an aura of no return, and it was a promise that no matter what the conditions were, it would be fulfilled.
Since it agreed, then let's begin.
Lin made up his mind. This was not to say that he had not thought about whether or not to do this before, but he felt that there would be a lot of uncertainty about using the Fire Seed on the Snake King. The biggest obstacle was its body that was several kilometers long.
It could no longer be described as simply 'huge'. Anything that could be used on it could be considered a device at the level of environmental modification. However, Lin Huang was not sure if the Fire Seed had reached such a height.
Now that things had come to this, the arrow had to be shot. Even if he wanted to go back on his word and did not intend to use the Fire Seed on the Snake King, Odessa itself and the robots that had already been modified would not allow it.
He held the Exquisite Ball high and sent in a stream of authority to unlock a secret lock inside the Exquisite Ball. In the original design, the Fire Seed was like a virus. As long as it caught the nearby elemental creatures, it would enter the modification program. However, there were all kinds of inconveniences in doing so, so Lin Huang designed a secret lock that was activated and closed by magic as a switch.
This lock was part of the Fire Seed's inheritance. All the robots knew about it, so they knew how to use and close the Fire Seed. The other unknown lock was the Fire Seed's self-destruction device, which was also a safety measure that someone had buried. This lock was much more complicated because after the self-destruction device was activated, the entire Exquisite Ball would be structurally destroyed. It was the kind that could not be restored to its original state even if the gods came to save it.
As one of the people who planned it, Fen and Cassette Cutting also knew that the Fire Seed had a self-destruction mechanism. However, Lin Huang did not reveal to anyone what kind of device it was and how it worked. After all, he sincerely hoped that he would never have to use the self-destruction mechanism.
Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that the Fire Seed would grow to the point where the self-destruction mechanism would be ineffective in the future. However, when that day came, someone would be so dead that his bones would be drumming.
