Wind began to blow in the windless wastelands.
The air was filled with a mix of violence, anxiety, and unease. The entire earth trembled along with the wind.
The gigantic snake was hiding in the shadows. Its dark green snake eyes were the light of a predator. It didn't move again. Its black shadows seemed to transform into living creatures as if they were demons, tearing at the enemy's flesh.
Compared to the gigantic snake, the humanoid creature was basically an ant. However, it fearlessly faced the incoming shadow army head-on.
That's right, an army. After the gigantic snake's shadow was torn apart, the remaining shadows gathered together, twisted, and tangled with the enemy.
One shadow became two, two became four. Even if the shadows were torn apart into small pieces the size of small animals, they could still transform into winged venomous snake shadows.
The endless shadow army was like an invisible fortress made of shadows. It lacked attack power, but was impossible to penetrate.
The winged Elemental Lords also attempted to attack the gigantic snake's main body. However, they simply passed right through it as if the snake itself was a shadow.
The Elemental Lord was furious. Its fury transformed into endless lightning that electrocuted the shadows before they could even get close … However, this only gave birth to even more shadows.
Where there was light, there would be shadows. From a certain standpoint, this special shadow combat technique was a natural enemy for the Lightning Elemental Lords, who had a certain amount of the Light element.
A true Elemental Lord or a New God of equal power would definitely have matured combat experience and techniques to deal with such an enemy. Unfortunately, this was a half-finished Elemental Lord that had been created so quickly. The only thing he could do was vent his elemental power through anger.
The Elemental Lord, who had the advantage in terms of individual strength, was actually stopped by such a seemingly shameless combat technique. And judging from the result, this combat technique was based on the Elemental Lord's characteristics.
This wasn't the only battlefield.
On another side, a three-meter-tall snake-headed giant was fighting against a group of Lightning Beasts.
Its entire body was red, and its skin had been completely peeled off. Its bloody exoskeleton and flesh were covered in burn marks. However, no matter how heavily injured it was, it would instantly recover to its original state.
Although its body was gigantic, its combat techniques were excellent. Its snake tail and venomous fangs were perfectly coordinated with each other, and any attacks it received would be perfectly deflected by its soft body. In the eyes of those in the know, this was a unique style of snake warrior monk.
This was a type of combat specialization that focused on the consumption of close-range combat. It was a type of combat specialization that focused on close-range combat. It was a type of combat specialization that focused on close-range combat.
"Kuka is that strong? This Martial Monk's rank is even higher than that of a Great Master. "
The ferocious beast in front of him was none other than the useless Naga Priest.
Rorschach turned his gaze to the other side of the mountain. Although he couldn't see clearly with his naked eyes, he could see the A1 and A2 marks on his device.
The unlucky barbarian Haru was still scooped up, but the person who scooped him up didn't have good intentions.
The first thing the Naga Priest did after scooping up Haru was to toss him into the midst of the Thunder Beasts, clearly hoping that he would become cannon fodder.
However, while everyone was shocked by Kuka's decisiveness and "betrayal," Haru instantly teleported far away the moment he landed on the ground.
Rorschach recognized that Kuka was a one-time life-saving item similar to his own talisman. Previously, Haru didn't even use it when he was about to drown. Obviously, Haru thought that he could be saved. Now that Kuka was using it, Rorschach could tell just how vicious the Nagas were.
"The Nagas want A2 to die? Why is that? That's basically betraying their entire alliance. "
When the Thunder Snake God's ridiculously powerful incarnation arrived, and Kuka suddenly transformed and revealed his trump card, the situation had completely changed.
Incarnations of Gods usually weren't all that powerful.
That was because there was a limit to how much power a mortal could use as a vessel. Even the slightest bit of power would cause the vessel to explode. On the other hand, New Gods and Lesser Gods didn't have much divine power. Sending down an incarnation that was equivalent to a level 5 or 6 professional would cost him several years of accumulation. It wasn't worth it at all.
The Thunder Snake God was a Level 2 God. Although he had devout believers, there was still a limit to how powerful he could be. Creating an incarnation that was capable of directly facing off against an Elemental Lord would probably cost him decades or even his entire life's worth of divine power.
Rorschach had always viewed the relationship between the Church and the Gods as a business. Since it was a business, there would be investments and sacrifices, and naturally, there would be returns.
Now that everyone was in an alliance, it was like everyone was doing business together. The benefits and risks would be shared equally, so it was impossible to expect anyone to contribute too much.
Originally, the Snake Gods' reinforcements were supposed to be nothing more than cannon fodder. Now that such a powerful reinforcements had suddenly arrived, and the price for such a powerful reinforcements was likely to cause the Snake Gods to go bankrupt, Rorschach really had to consider what the reinforcements were after.
Kuka's actions after that could be considered betrayal. This was tantamount to tearing up the partnership agreement. Kuka would definitely be held responsible. In that case, why were the reinforcements willing to pay so much? Was there some treasure here that was worth paying such a huge price for?
Rorschach changed his location and continued to ponder … but he couldn't come to a conclusion.
The monster battle before him was still ongoing, but everyone could tell that Kuka wouldn't be able to last much longer if this continued.
It was already difficult enough for Kuka to face off against those Thunder Beasts by himself. The fact that he hadn't died on the spot was already due to his incredible regeneration ability. Although Kuka was still able to fight without the protection of his thunder armor, these crazy lightning strikes would likely cause far more damage to him than the Thunder Beasts.
No matter if Kuka used a secret technique, burned his life force, or descended with divine power, there would be a limit to what he could do. It was obvious that Kuka hadn't considered his death.
"Just what do they want? Do I have to stop them? "
[The reinforcements didn't come up with an answer. Stay away and continue observing.]
The God of War that Haru worshipped wasn't someone that the third-rate Snake God could compare to. The abnormal behavior of the Snake God faction made Rorschach even more unwilling to leave. However, he still couldn't make up his mind to interfere. After all, he was still confused and didn't know what to do.
"Beep. Your message."
At this moment, a message came from the communication device inside the armor.
The sender was A1 Slater. Rorschach thought that it was an invitation to communicate with the alliance. He didn't expect it to be a long letter. When he opened the letter, he saw that it was a complete thesis. There was even a signature that he didn't recognize.
"Dr. Winston Suoan Flett?"
[A native of Ike, a former expert in physics and astronomy. Thirty-seven years ago, he became an archmage of the Cloud Tower's Arcane Blade.]
Lori's timely annotation seemed to indicate that this person was an important person.
The person who signed the letter was a former physicist who had settled down in the Cloud Tower. He was now an elemental archmage. His main research area was the structure of the world, including the elemental planes.
Why would he send him a thesis at this time? Although Rorschach didn't understand, he knew that Slater wouldn't do anything useless. He quickly skimmed through this thesis.
"Elemental Throne? Elemental God? "
This was a part of a thesis that discussed the basic structure of the elemental planes. It discussed the possible structure and changes that could occur in unstable half-elemental planes.
"Theoretically speaking, a half-elemental plane is also a new world. The abundant elemental tides and energy waves can also create spirit veins and elemental pulses. In that case, it's also possible for a dimensional will to be born …"
"… Everyone knows that the elemental planes have Elemental Thrones. This is the key to controlling the entire plane's throne and authority. It's also the foundational reason why Elemental Gods are far stronger than ordinary Elemental Lords. In a way, this is also a shattered Divine Concept and Divine Concept, the purest and strongest type …"
"… Is it possible for an unstable half-elemental plane to have an Elemental Throne? Is it possible for an Elemental God to be born? I believe that it is possible. And since a half-elemental plane is far too short, it's highly likely that the dimensional will will give the Elemental Throne to the strongest elemental creatures. In fact, it's even possible for elemental creatures to evolve into high-level elemental creatures, Elemental Lords, or even Elemental Gods … "
"… The chances of an Elemental God appearing are extremely low. After all, half-elemental planes are usually extremely unstable. But if you think about it from another angle, if an Elemental God appears, then this half-elemental plane might completely stabilize and become a small sealed Elemental Plane …"
I closed the thesis and looked at the nearby Divine Battle … This really was a battle between Gods, a battle for control over the Elemental Divine Concept and the half-elemental plane.
Due to the unique nature of the wastelands, even if an Elemental Lord had an Elemental Throne, it would be highly unlikely for him to become an Elemental God. And if the Thunder Snake God really obtained an Elemental Throne and Divine Concept, then he would definitely become an Elemental God. It wouldn't be impossible for him to turn this Thunder Elemental Demiplane into his own Divine Kingdom.
At that time, the Thunder Snake God would probably be at least a Level 4 God. Compared to such great benefits, betraying an alliance was nothing.
"… What a bunch of bastards! Every single one of them has their own selfish motives. "
Rorschach also knew that he couldn't just sit by and watch while he was trying to understand this thesis.
"A3, can you do it again with the one just now?"
At this moment, A1 Slater also asked about the purpose of his thesis. Both sides didn't even need to communicate with each other as this was already a natural alliance.
