If even the Lich felt that something was not right, how bad could it be? Someone continued to doubt himself.
However, the transmigrator who had always fought alone and had not fought many battles might not have thought that in Fen's eyes, the threat of the mecha race was much more serious than he had imagined. And the benchmark for this former Demon King was, of course, the Dark Army that she had once commanded, which was strong enough to kill gods.
Although the Dark Army was known to be able to kill gods, only one in ten thousand was qualified to be cannon fodder in a war between gods. And among the cannon fodder who were qualified to fight, there were only a few who could threaten gods. Although there were few of them, this force was enough to fight against gods who were even fewer in number. As for the sacrifice … this was a problem that the Lich did not care about at that time.
But if the complete Dark Army was to fight against the mecha in front of them. Before the Snake King Odessa was modified, Fen's estimated chance of winning was 50% to 50%, if it was a million against 10,000. But after the appearance of this giant floating ship, there was basically no chance of winning …
Fen didn't think that his Dark Army would be able to survive that barrage of attacks. And even if the power of the main cannon hit the gods, those arrogant existences would not be able to escape unscathed. It could be said that the ten thousand mecha combined with the giant ship already had the power to surpass the Dark Army. Even if Fen was included, there would not be much change.
And there was another important point. Perhaps someone did not realize it, but Fen remembered clearly what grade of materials the mecha used. Those were all magic materials produced in the Earth Elemental Plane! It could be said that the mecha were born with magic resistance. With simple processing, their magic resistance could be increased exponentially.
Such an opponent could be said to be the natural enemy of magic creatures and a disaster for mages. The most terrifying thing was that the mecha in front of them were far from the full potential of this race.
Just imagine what this group of people, including that man, had been working hard all this time. They were working hard to turn all the creatures in this Elemental Plane into mecha.
However, compared to the entire world, the number of mecha in front of them was not much, but Fen believed that it should be less than one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand. If the remaining elemental creatures were all transformed into pocket-level robots, they would be a force to be reckoned with. Needless to say, there might be a few Elemental Lords that could transform into battleship level existences like Odessa.
As long as he could master this power, not to mention conquering the bewildering lands, it would not be impossible for him to clear all four planes and the abyss in one go. The moral integrity of a Demon King was even lower than that of a God. His title of Demon King was the proof that the group of true Demons were suppressed to the point of not daring to make a sound.
Although today's incident was caused by her, she had no idea how far she could go. To her, the most troublesome plan was to personally take action and beat up all those who refused to submit to her. When she first arrived at the Jewel Pit, she wanted to deal with the Lord of the Jewel Pit like this, but she was dragged away by a coward first.
Now that he thought about it, he should have made a move back then. Otherwise, none of this would have happened …
Fen looked at the man beside her. Seeing that his frown and troubled expression didn't last long, the knotted eyebrows loosened. He seemed to have figured it out or been freed, looking relaxed and at ease. Based on her understanding of this man, Fen didn't think that he would be as troubled as she was, so she asked curiously, "What were you thinking about just now?"
"I was worried that I might have released something incredible."
"Oh, it's rare for you to have such self-awareness."
"But then I felt that I didn't need to think so much, because there was nothing to worry about in the first place," Lin said casually.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because there is a limit to the need for plundering. When it reaches a certain level, pure plundering of material won't be able to bring benefits to the entire race. And for individual robots, this point is even more obvious. They no longer need to plunder rare materials like in the past to constantly purify the composition of their bodies. "
"The changes brought about by the alloy materials?" Fen was keenly aware of the key point of all this.
"Yes, alloy. To be precise, it's material science. With the existing materials, using different formulas and different manufacturing processes, unique effects can be achieved. It can even surpass those pure materials. So, the robots are no longer like the elemental creatures in the past, plundering a hundred random coins just to pick out one gold coin from among them. "
"Indeed, their need for plundering only exists in the beginning," Fen accurately pointed out the truth.
"That's right. Although the materials that make up their bodies can be changed, to increase their strength, they no longer need to find better materials to replace the original. Instead, they need to pursue more profound knowledge and constantly revise it in practice. The accumulation of knowledge doesn't need to be plundering from the outside. Maybe they will choose to fight for the sake of practice, but plundering and fighting will no longer be their focus and purpose. It will just be a means. "
"The situation you mentioned is only the situation of an individual. Have you considered the situation of the entire robot race? A new robot needs more materials than they originally did, "Fen said.
"Regarding this, there's even less to worry about. What determines the upper limit of their strength is the output power of the reactor achieved by the Origin Power. This part of the accumulation is similar to how a mage accumulates power through meditation. There's no way to increase it in a short period of time. So, every robot's needs are limited in a short period of time. Looking at the entire race, elemental creatures don't have the ability to expand their race through reproduction like humans do. They just keep repeating the cycle of death, returning to the Spirit of the Earth Mother, and becoming the most basic elemental spirits. Through the continuous accumulation, they gain enough consciousness to be called wisdom, and then find a shell to protect themselves. This is what elemental creatures are. Then, they grow, and at some point, die again. "
"What you're trying to say is that the total amount of the Soul Pool hasn't changed."
"Although I'm not very clear about the strict definition of the 'Soul Pool,' if it's the literal meaning, then I think you're right. And this is also the reason why I'm not so worried anymore. The total amount of the Soul Pool can't be increased easily, which means that elemental creatures can't reproduce like humans. Since the total amount of the Soul Pool hasn't changed, it means that their overall needs are also limited, and there will be a day when they're satisfied. "
"Then what were you worried about?" Fen recalled Roland's previous expression and asked.
"Didn't I think about it later? At first, I was afraid that they would be like the insectoids, relying on plundering to grow and evolve. Later on, when I thought about it, they actually went on a different path. It's impossible to use the insectoid's way of playing and crush them. Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. "
As soon as Roland finished speaking, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he said thoughtfully, "Maybe this is why they're willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve Odessa. Because they've recognized the limits that each individual will encounter, so they're looking for a more comprehensive way to improve. "
What Roland didn't say was that if this idea was true, then the relationship between the elemental creatures, that is, the importance of the Spirit of the Earth Mother, was greater than what he knew. Countless consciousnesses gathered into a collective consciousness, and the collective consciousness would come back to affect individual consciousnesses.
Just thinking about it, Fen suddenly asked, "What are the insectoids?"
