On the beach, in the sky.
Whether it was the ferocious Barsalom, or Elvi, who flew high in the sky, playing with toys, spinning non-stop, and taking away a large number of aquatic lives in an instant...
They all seem to be taking things too far.
But if we only focus on these beings, we will never be able to see clearly what this war means to ordinary monsters.
On the sea surface cluttered with blood and body parts, waves rose high one after another, and the monster closest to humans let out a deafening roar.
The dragon warrior, blocking out the sunlight, dived downward with the thrust of his body. Behind the lenses on the human eye sockets in the corners, the elements were flashing with dazzling light.
The herd of aquatic monsters had no time to react and could only choose to take the attack with their lives: "Stop it!"
"When the dragon approaches, you must try your best to attach yourself to it!"
An octopus-like aquatic monster, under the force of the snouts of several other dolphins, leaped high and grabbed the sharp claws of the giant dragon that dived to the sea surface.
The price he paid was the death of the other aquatic monsters that provided him with power.
The dragon flew back into the sky and noticed the dirty fish on its claws, but before he could attack it with his other claw, the octopus's tentacles had already gone against the dragon's scales, moving up and gradually approaching the dragon's neck.
When the dragon finally thought of using elemental shock to get rid of the octopus, one of its suction-covered tentacles had already stabbed into his eye socket, and then went down his neck and shot straight into his heart...
Unable to raise its wings and with its heart no longer beating, the dragon of incredible weight slammed straight into the water, knocking out a few aquatic monsters as it died.
…
With a loud "bang", another wind element hit the hundred-meter-high waves formed by the sea water.
The mermaid standing at the highest point was not panicked at all. The advantages brought by the venue maximized Leia's combat power.
The mermaid calmly used water elements to fill the empty space created by the wind elements. Then, relying on the rising waves, she looked at Elvi, who was flying in the air, at eye level.
"This is the last thing Nan left behind, and it makes me sure that Suli is here. Tell me, where is he now?"
Even on the battlefield, Elvi never forgets to find out the information he wants to know.
Leia didn't intend to tell her the answer. The mermaid only said: "If the King of the Beasts is what you said, do you think that getting Suli will allow your dragon tribe to compete with such a monster?"
As he spoke, the front half of the huge wave was pushed by the water element and poured directly towards the giant dragon high in the sky!
Elvi used the wind element to erect a barrier in front of the other dragons to block this incredible attack, but unfortunately a large amount of sea water rushed straight towards the beasts on the ground.
Barsalom frowned as he looked at the team that was thrown into disarray in an instant.
"That's simply impossible." Leia didn't care how Elvi could stay calm in some mind-stirring conversations. The mermaid felt that if he could influence someone once, he could influence them countless times.
"The dragons have always been powerful, the high and mighty Miss Dragon, unable to make her own tribe stronger, can only try to rely on external things..."
"Don't you think this is ridiculous? You are afraid of the king of the beasts, but you use the image of the other party engraved in your memory to alert yourself to reason. I don't know where the lucky feeling comes from, thinking that if you get Suli, you can make the dragons have the ability to fight like the water tribes."
Leia didn't care at all that the aquatic creatures below were trying their best to fight but were still dying in large numbers.
After discovering that Suli had a special influence on the existing structure of the entire aquatic tribe, Leia decided to take on this war head-on.
Only when a large number of members of the aquarium die now can he have the opportunity to promote new members to the top, and this is also the best solution to continue to maintain the absolute rule of the mermaids.
"You seem to think that as long as you get Suli, no matter whether it is the water tribe that once attacked the dragon tribe or the feather tribe that showed the intention of expelling the dragon tribe, they will eventually be trampled under your feet. Even the figure that makes you afraid will be changed under the influence of absolute power... Am I right?"
Leia didn't need an answer. The mermaid on the top of the huge wave, relying on the field, was able to create an attack that forced both Elvi and Bartholomew to try to temporarily avoid the sharp edge: "Your idea is ridiculous!"
Elvi did not defend this statement, not because Leia had indeed guessed her inner thoughts, but because explanations were the most useless thing on the battlefield.
The mermaid would do this. How could a dragon, who has witnessed the cunning and treacherous nature of humans many times, ignore the harm of words?
"Do you think that splashing dirty water on me will make you look fresh and refined?" Elvie's sharp teeth flashed a cold light, and she was looking forward to the scene of her teeth chewing the mermaid into pieces.
"Knowing that the dragons and beasts had joined forces to declare war on the water tribe, you not only did not choose to temporarily avoid the attack, but instead let a large number of water tribes join the war... Could it be that you, a mermaid, are afraid of Suli?"
"You think that the idea that I can change everything by getting Suli is delusional, but don't you think that once someone around you gets him, everything you have now will become history?"
Elvi used words to directly expose Leia's hidden skin, and the fight continued, and this expert exchanged hundreds of moves.
"Affirming the value of Suli, despising Suli's weakness, wanting to obtain him, but also fearing other aquatic creatures who are also trying to obtain him."
"You are afraid of change and hope that everything can remain the same. You think that my idea of wanting to get him and change everything is ridiculous, so isn't everything you are doing now ridiculous?"
The fighting continued, and despite all the chaos, the two opponents' inhuman hearing was able to hear each other's words clearly.
"I don't have your fear or terror. Even the entire dragon clan supports my actions."
"No monster can be trusted, no monster can share your responsibilities. Your tyranny will only bring you despicable things!"
Leia didn't expect that when she tried to influence Elvi's thoughts, she was influenced by Elvi instead.
But the mermaid still fell into uncontrollable anger.
"What do you think being a ruler and a king is? You're so incompetent, so what even if you're supported! There are only a few hundred dragons in total." Leia's eyes were filled with obvious contempt.
All the monsters acknowledged the power of the dragon, even the beast king who was obviously abnormal and weird as described by Elvi.
But so what if that's the case?
Elvi has no ability to be king.
"Ms. Dragon, rather than being a so-called 'race', you clearly look more like a cheap 'family'. The dragons are linked by blood, and their total number is less than the population of a small village in human society. Managing these beings is as simple as playing house."
"I am the executive officer of the water tribe, the one who controls the king of the water tribe. No matter how scared and frightened those stupid aquatic monsters are, I am still the executive officer that they will do everything to protect!"
Elvi's next attack was aimed directly at Leia's face, but the other aquatic monsters standing on the waves rushed to Leia like moths to a flame, blocking the attack that he could have blocked with his hands and the water element...
Elvi's expression gradually became filled with disbelief.
Victoria was chosen out of emotion, because she was the first person the black dragon saw after it was hatched.
But what are these aquatic monsters doing?
The dragon couldn't understand. No matter how much those monsters hated Leia, or even resented the mermaids for making them choose to face this racial war head-on, they all knew that once Leia, who was powerful and vicious, died, the entire aquatic race would be truly doomed.
This is a war, and the place we are in is a battlefield.
There is no choice but one.
While Elvi was stunned, Leia stepped on the corpses of the fallen water monsters and rushed towards Elvi.
The dragon's wings are his real goal!
The blood rushed into the body uncontrollably again. When Elvie tried to stabilize her flying body in the air, Leia had already rushed to her under the push of the waves.
The sharp claws of the mermaid pierced into Elvi's wings tightly, and a large amount of red blood spurted out in an instant...
Leia actually used the water element directly to condense the waves that were originally used to propel him into a huge sea giant.
This move had never been discovered by any monster before. Even Elvy, who thought she would not be seriously injured by Leia's claws, did not expect that Leia would tear off half of her wings with the help of the sea giant's wrist...
“Aaaaaaaa——!”
When a sound so fierce that shocked the entire battlefield rang out, Suli shifted his attention from the ordinary monster.
When the boy looked up, he saw Elvi losing his balance and falling into the water...
The chaotic battlefield is right before our eyes, and it seems like everything has nothing to do with humans.
In fact, as long as Suli stays in this alien world where there is no concept of peace, he will never be able to enjoy a truly peaceful retirement life.
What can we do to change?
How can we achieve our goals?
It is not the extreme idea in Asgard that all transformed monsters are killed directly, but another method that is more in line with what Suli has learned about the other world over the years.
It's just that those still exist above the power.
Sully smiled, and the smell of blood was so strong that it almost made him vomit. The accelerated breathing caused by his smile irritated his nasal cavity and lungs, and the boy began to cough uncontrollably.
Egbert patted him on the back and asked in a worried tone, "Is Lord Sully okay?"
"Of course I'm fine. Or rather, I've never had it so easy." Suli took out the alchemy storage ring that had been used by who knows how many people.
This looked like an ordinary thing used for storage. Before it was mass-produced by Custer, Sully had a conversation with the man with endless research ideas in his mind.
At that time, Custer told Suli: "The difficulty of making alchemy storage items is not high. The only thing that is scarce is the materials. But after being supplemented by Lan Zhe's resources, there is actually no problem in mass production of this kind of thing."
The eyes of the researchers, in the laboratory where the light element was used as lighting, flickered with a flickering light.
"I'm more curious about why you want to mass-produce this kind of thing. There are other people who help you get the things you need in your daily life, and you can't use the elements..."
Custer's subtext was that Sully didn't need to ask for trouble.
But the boy told him: "Do you think the elements are real forces, or are they more like something illusory?"
The researchers were surprised, and Custer even felt that he didn't need to answer this question. But because it was Sully, the first thought in the man's mind became that there might be some other opinions.
So he answered: "Of course it is a real power. If it is not a real power, how could elementalists have different classifications and use elements to create various things." Caster looked up at the bright element lamp embedded in the corridor of the laboratory.
"Then do you think that since Alchemy Storage Items can store real objects, is it possible for them to store large amounts of elements?"
Custer was stunned.
No one would have such an idea.
Because the power of elements is everywhere in the world, in addition to the amount stored in the human body.
But apart from the human body, no one has ever thought that there is anything else that can store and release elements like a container.
"Let's not talk about whether it's possible to use alchemy tools to store elements. Even if it's really possible to store this kind of power, when releasing it, it will require a medium, or something like a channel." Custer tried his best to describe the opinion he came to after following Sully's logic at that moment.
He frowned. "Otherwise, when the elements stored in the alchemy tool are released, they will only become elemental factors in the air instead of effective means of attack."
"Or do you think that by storing elements in alchemy tools, alchemy tools can be a way for elementalists to recover faster after consuming their energy?"
"This research direction is indeed possible, but in fact, we already have many things that can accelerate the recovery of elements, whether it is medicine or other treasures... researching new ones will not be able to achieve a higher cost-effectiveness."
Custer was very grateful for the large amount of purple gold coins that Suli had provided, but the researchers did not intend to be like those researchers above, constantly spending money but not producing any results.
He has too many research directions, and his main research has always been on things that are possible to achieve and can bring obvious benefits after realization.
Custer hopes that Sully's investment will pay off, rather than just being thrown into the water with no response.
Suli shook his head: "You overlooked one point."
"That is, my body——"
Caster was stunned for a moment. He took it for granted that everyone in this world had the same habitual logic as him and denied the fact that Suli's mere existence represented something special.
People with empathy can easily empathize with another person, but no matter how empathetic they are, people in modern society cannot feel any sense of empathy for the aliens when watching movies about aliens invading the earth for no reason.
Sully is not exactly like this example, but he is still from another world.
For this world, it has always been special, and the people here can understand part of it, but not all of it.
Custer's eyes lit up instantly.
"You're right, your body!"
"Your body is naturally a medium," Caster thought too much in a very short moment, "The reason why you can't use elemental power is because elemental power simply cannot be stored in your body for a long time. In other words, as long as you can find something that has the ability to store and transport elements to your body, you can also use elemental power!"
Just like a mobile phone without power, after connecting it to a power bank, you can use all the functions in the phone.
"Nothing is more suitable for this kind of equipment than the storage function of alchemy tools!"
"As long as I can store elemental power in alchemy tools, no matter what special characteristics your body possesses, this power can become a weapon that you can control with your own hands."
No one was more excited than Custer, and researchers have repeatedly lamented that there is another world in Sully's mind.
But that world can never be revealed to everyone by using the elemental power that everyone in this world possesses.
Suli can only reveal information bit by bit through communication, exchange and understanding between people.
Let’s not talk about the issue of efficiency for now. In Custer’s opinion, this way of transmitting information is totally inefficient.
Because for the people of this world, no matter how powerful the power of language is, no matter what kind of precedents wisdom can create, no matter what kind of miracle Suli, who is regarded as "waste" by everyone, represents, they are actually no match for the absolute shock brought by the huge elemental power.
Because the former needs to be understood slowly, while the latter itself represents an absolute that cannot be resisted.
Strength is not the only way to the end result, but it is a shortcut that makes Sully's journey easier.
Custer had a new research direction, and the entire laboratory temporarily stopped all work and focused on developing the feasibility conclusion of the research on the scale of element factors stored in alchemy storage items.
Because Sully's body was unable to store elements, Custer, who had been delusional about Sully being able to use elemental power, had already experienced disappointment once before, so this time, all research and development were carried out in an underground laboratory that was shielded from sunlight.
All progress is accompanied only by the light element lamps hanging in the passage.
Until the final results come out, Custer will not tell anyone the success rate of this possibility.
This incident became a secret of Suli and the entire laboratory.
Even after the final research results were released, Custer chose not to tell anyone else. Instead, he excitedly invited Sully to come to the laboratory again and informed him of the research conclusions.
He also said: "I can't judge how many elemental factors are stored in the storage item. The element storage inside the storage ring is not that humans transfer the elemental power in their bodies into the alchemy storage item, but it is directly linked to the element collection device."
"I have engraved the rune drawing of the element collection device on the alchemy storage item. As long as this ring is not damaged, then no matter which series of elemental factors, they will be gradually absorbed and stored in the alchemy storage item."
"Similarly, if you want to transfer the elemental power inside the medium back into your body, you only need to rotate the button on the ring counterclockwise half a circle, and then all the elements in the ring will be transferred into your body." Caster pointed to a bulge on the quaint alchemy ring that looked only a quarter of the size of a mung bean.
Custer was extremely excited and hoped that Sully would try out the effect of this power right away.
Then he said, "Since the ring was made only a day ago, I suggest you try it to see how much effect the elemental power stored in it can have."
"According to my personal estimate, the power stored in this ring in one day is about half of the elements stored in Egbert's body."
Then Custer added a little more about the physical examination report of Sully: "Your body is fundamentally incompatible with elements. Therefore, no matter how large the element is, if it stays in your body for a short period of time, this force will not have any effect on your body because of the conceptual incompatibility."
"This is a miracle!" Custer sighed in his heart, his eyes fixed on the young man who did not show any obvious emotional change even after knowing the conclusion.
As sad as researchers were at first about Sully's inability to store elements, they are now as excited as they are now.
This is a miracle, an anomaly that is completely different from the logic of this world, and it is incredible and unique.
It is something extraordinary that can only be seen in Sully!
only……
Sully's overly calm expression gradually calmed Custer's excited mood.
The researcher looked puzzled and asked, "... Don't you think this is a miracle?"
Sully's expression looked like he knew the result would be like this, but he didn't think the result would bring about any surprising changes to him.
"Maybe I'm not as happy as you are, but I do think it's a miracle." Sully expressed his inner thoughts.
"I was just wondering, do I really need to have elemental powers?"
There is no doubt that people want to become stronger.
When he knew that he was in a world where he could die at any time, only Suli himself knew how much he resisted and how shocked he was.
But now that he knows that he has a way to use the strange energy of this world, Suli's thoughts are no longer simple, because his emotions fluctuate.
He thought more at that time.
"Like you said at the beginning, it doesn't matter whether the storage ring is mass-produced or not. Everyone around me will spontaneously prepare what I need."
"Similarly, because of this feeling of 'I need', everyone will spontaneously feel needed. In fact, if I have the elements, will other people still feel needed?"
This question was like a bucket of cold water poured over Custer, and he was unable to recover for a long time.
The fact is just as the boy said.
If he possesses elemental power, can others still feel needed by him?
Very difficult...
Even Custer himself was frightened by the thoughts that came into his mind and broke out in a cold sweat.
Suli possesses elemental power and means of attack, so if he refines this power and allows the ring that stores the elements to transmit the power into his body in small quantities, he will be able to tame this power sooner or later and use it to conduct various elemental research before the power dissipates in his body.
In other words...
The boy can completely replace Custer.
There's no need to even use the word replace.
Suli was only fourteen years old.
His future, even when he did not possess elemental powers, was already something everyone was looking forward to.
And if he possesses elemental powers, would others still feel that they are qualified to look forward to his future?
They have no connection at all, no blood relationship, no childhood sweethearts or anything like that.
All anyone knows about Sully's past is their own inferences.
Egbert, Cyril, Euphia, Dean Asa, Mark... and many more, how can we define the relationship between them and Sully?
Custer couldn't imagine it.
Even he himself could only regard himself as Suli's subordinate.
If the role of his subordinates can be replaced by himself, does he still need subordinates?
Panic, bewilderment, daze, fear.
If he is not needed, then what is the reason for Custer's existence?
Too many people came to Suli, and they could no longer survive alone.
Egbert didn't want to live from the beginning, Cyril didn't think he had any other way to live except being a beggar, Mark was almost plotted to death, and Roy was pulled back from the brink of death by the teenager after experiencing the incident of the crystal pterosaur in Jisuo Town...
Can these people really accept the power that Suli possesses without reservation?
Acceptance is inevitable, Custer acknowledged.
But, will those people suddenly realize, like him, that they are no longer needed?
Custer thinks it will.
Compared to him who focused most of his attention on research, others were more meticulous.
Even after confirming that Sully's body was incapable of storing elemental power, Custer, who did not have a particularly good understanding of human hearts, could actually vaguely detect that the people around Sully showed signs of relief.
Not needed...
How heavy it is for these humans who continue to live in the world by clinging to Sully.
No matter how complicated his thoughts were, Custer still forced them down.
It's like Coke with Mentos in it, with the cap forcibly tightened during the gushing phase.
Custer gritted his teeth and said, "No, no, you have to believe that everyone's trust in you can suppress all their own discomfort."
"But you also said that you were able to suppress the discomfort because of your trust in me." Suli looked at the ring on his index finger calmly.
"I don't think it's right to suppress one emotion because of another. Emotions defined as negative by humans should not be suppressed but transformed." Sully looked at Caster, whose eyes kept moving.
The researcher himself did not realize that his panic was not as completely hidden as he had imagined.
Sully was not really good at reading expressions from faces that did not change obviously, but when there were changes and body language, he could not ignore it.
"But even I can't guarantee that this transformation can happen peacefully without external pressure."
“So I’m not going to tell anyone else about this.”
"It's not because of distrust, but because of over-trust."
Sully didn't say anything else, but Custer had already completed it secretly.
Because there is enough trust, trust that others can resolve the crisis before Suli uses this power.
Trust that since others have lived for him once, they will continue to live for him a second time, a third time, and countless times...
Of course, Suli had no need to use this kind of force.
This is just a safety device.
One is like a car that has insurance in modern society. After an accident, the insurance company will make corresponding compensation.
This is not a strong external force that completely prevents accidents before they occur.
Rather, it is the gentle force that can turn the tide after an accident occurs.
Custer couldn't control his tears.
If he had such power, would he choose not to expose it?
will not.
Because having power means fame, wealth, power, strength, and influence...
But Suli chose to remain silent.
The reason is simply the emotions of the people around you.
Custer wanted to ask Sully: Do you know that you have never received the honor and glory that you deserve?
All of Sadina should be grateful to this young man, because he stopped the war against mercenaries that was hidden in an endless conspiracy.
All the human beings hidden in Amik at the bottom of the valley should be grateful to this young man for discovering the dangers and disasters that another world brings to mankind.
But before the vested interests had a chance to make contributions, tell everything, and prove everything, they had already begun to choose to hide their power because of their mood.
Looking at Suli's calm face, Custer couldn't say a word...
In the end, he could only say: "Even so, you should at least try to store the elemental power for one day under my care. At least this will allow you to have a clear estimate of the power in your mind when you use it in the future."
Suli nodded in agreement, and then the two of them went to a very remote place together to carry out this power experiment.
The boy's body was too special. After a day's worth of all the elemental reserve power was sent into Suli's body, he controlled the power naturally, just like a player controlling a game character.
All you have to do is raise your hands according to the picture in your mind. Everything is as simple as a player pressing the computer keyboard, and the smooth attack is launched in the blink of an eye.
The subsequent earthquake caused Custer to retreat uncontrollably and finally sit on the ground.
In front of us is a huge ditch that is bottomless, about 100 meters long and more than 5 meters wide.
Dust rose up everywhere, and countless large trees that required many people to hug them sank into it. From somewhere at an unknown depth, dull crashing sounds were heard.
Only after the dust completely settled did Custer regain his sanity and ability to think.
When Suli used all the elemental power, not a single bit of it was wasted.
Those powers, when they were in Suli's body, were like a relay, they instantly covered every cell. Then, all the cells worked hard towards the picture drawn by Suli's brain.
The final result is this incredible, miraculous ditch.
Humans simply cannot achieve this level of delicate control.
Even the ninth-level monsters, those who are regarded as divine beasts and can cause devastating damage to the buildings of human society, cannot completely change the natural environment with just one blow.
and--
This is just the amount of elemental power that the Alchemy Storage Item can store in one day.
Will it break?
What is its storage limit?
If the 100 cubic meters of element storage equipment were filled with element factors compressed by the element collection device, then even without Suli's body as a medium, the moment this ring was destroyed, it would probably produce unparalleled destructive power...
Ten kilometers in radius?
Or 100 kilometers?
Or a larger area?
Custer was shaking uncontrollably.
Sully was right, he thought.
These researchers are destined to be the meteors of the era.
Meteors are destined to be silent, but time has many, many years...
…
Back to the present, the moment Elvi fell, Sully knew he had to make a decision.
He pressed the button that occupied only a small spot on the ring and that everyone else had thought was designed to be this way.
The boy turned his head to look at Egbert, who had a worried expression on his face, and gradually recovered from his coughing.
Suli opened his green eyes, and the complete figures of several people were reflected in his pupils.
Whether it was Egbert bending over, or the crow squatting on Lan Zhe's shoulder, or Roy standing with Gabriel's arm around his shoulder.
"I've thought about it before, but I've never said it. I've always thought that, compared to me, an outsider, interfering in this world, it's you who have been working hard that should really make a difference in this world."
Sully's voice was inexplicably hoarse.
Egbert's original worry grew uncontrollably: "Lord Sully..."
"I'm fine, I just wanted to tell you," Sully stood up straight.
The body is upright and shaped like a pine tree.
"I'm sorry, no matter how much I knew I had traveled through time, I still had the thought of going back, which I never expressed in words but had always existed."
"I'm also sorry that I trusted you so much that I watched you get hurt when I had the power to change the situation..."
"Maybe that's just how people are." Suli smiled faintly, "They want to quietly digest everything good or bad on their own, and then try their best to put all the positive things in front of everyone."
"But as expected, compared to you who are already adults, I still regard you as 'children', real children, always and always..."
Sully's right thumb pressed the button of the storage ring on his index finger.
After the boy turned it half a circle counterclockwise, the battlefield stopped in an instant, and the roars and shouts disappeared.
The humans who have always stood in a corner and never participated can only see him smiling and saying:
“——It’s all me.”
Then, it seemed to occupy all the different elements of the world, and with absolute power, it seized the sight of all life...
The author has something to say:
I wanted to enter the mortal chapter after chapter 180, and the progress is faster than I thought.
