"Meteorite, flesh and blood, dragon..."
If you want to create a brand-new creature, it not only needs to be reasonable, but also the raw materials must be qualified.
For example, if I want to create elemental creatures, the raw materials must have a relationship with the elements. With the void power that I currently possess, there is no way to directly transform complete flesh-and-blood creatures into pure elemental bodies. There has to be a connection.
Assuming that I want to create a void creature that looks like a fire element, the raw material must at least be a flesh-and-blood creature that has the power of the fire element. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transform it with a demon that has the power of the abyss.
This can be seen from the fact that the raw material of the 'Death Patroller' is the Abyss Bone Demon.
I call this 'Phase Nature.'
In addition to the need for 'compatibility,' if I want to create a void creature with combat power that matches the body, I also need to consider the rationality of the body during the manufacturing process.
For example, if a Goblin is used as raw material to create a creature without eyes, the Goblin will not be able to adapt to it. If it fights with this body, its combat effectiveness will not be as good as when using the original Goblin body.
When I create new creatures, in addition to satisfying my own mind, the combat effectiveness of the creation also needs to be considered.
Or to put it more clearly, I will feel happier if I can transform them into a more powerful race.
Time is the least valuable thing for today's me. In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
On this day, the second type—no, counting the original Descendants of the Void and the Angel of the Void, as well as the Death Patroller not long ago—it should be the fourth type of creation.
The fourth successful creation was born.
In the garden, a pile of corpses of void creatures was gradually turning into ashes and nothingness, and power poured into my huge black dragon's body, adding an insignificant amount of strength to it.
These corpses are all the result of collapse and death in the process of me creating a new race.
But at this time, I didn't care about the corpses that turned into ashes, but looked at the steel beast in front of me with burning eyes.
To be precise, it's the Steel Tyrannosaurus.
At this time, a Steel Tyrannosaurus that was over 20 meters in size was fighting with a master-level giant angel that was also over 20 meters in size.
The raw material of the master-level giant angel is a master-level white ghost. The advantage of the white ghost is its huge size and strength. After it was transformed into a giant angel, it was still perfectly preserved. Even because of the power of the void, this advantage was further magnified.
In today's Dragon Lair, giant angels serve as human shields in wars. Although their speed and agility are not as good as other types of angels, due to their huge size, they can be said to be extremely thick-skinned and durable.
And since I'm creating a brand-new race, it definitely needs to be tested in combat.
At this time, the Steel Tyrannosaurus was undergoing this process.
The two sides were fighting without caring about anything else. They were both roaring and fighting with all their strength. Suddenly, two black muzzles appeared on the shoulders of the Steel Tyrannosaurus. Countless bullets erupted from the muzzles, forming a metal storm that swept toward the giant angel, covering its skin. The giant angel with thick flesh was beaten bloody all over his body, with countless blood holes.
The battle lasted for a full day and night. In the end, the Steel Tyrannosaurus bit the giant angel's head into pieces with a slight advantage and won the battle.
The victorious Iron Tyrannosaurus looked up to the sky and roared, extremely excited.
What are you excited about?
Naturally, he was excited that he was 'born'!
The great master gave him a promise when he was created — after winning against the giant angel, he could exist in this form in the real world, and even if he died, he would be resurrected. And if he failed, then the soul would stay in the gray space forever.
Becoming a creature of the void, being loyal and fanatical to me does not mean that he has no desires or dreams.
Without desire, it is a puppet, not a living thing.
Void creatures are just servants loyal to me, not puppets.
They long to become stronger, long for power, long for beauties and handsome men, long for wealth, they long for whatever they always long for, etc.
Even though I refer to it as Iron Tyrannosaurus, it was more inspired by Mechagodzilla than the dino Transformer known as Grimlock.
"Congratulations, you have won."
On the side, I, who witnessed all this happen, smiled happily and contentedly.
I thought for a while and finally wrote these few lines in the book of Creatures:
Number 2: [Battle Greymon] · Demon Beast Mechanical Type
Raw materials: Abyss Mineral Beast, Great Demon Rank
Special abilities: Metal mineral extraction, super alloy defense, super bite, metal storm, purple thunder.
The raw material of Battle Greymon is the Abyss Oremon. The Oremon can extract extremely pure metals from metal minerals and fuse them with itself. Even the powerful Oremon can combine multiple metals into a super alloy, making itself a hybrid creature of flesh and metal.
This kind of creature is a rare group discovered by the Void Angel Army in Abyss Black Wing City during its expansion over the years.
Of course, when it is said to be rare, it is based on the number of other abyss creatures. Currently, the number of mineral beasts under the command of Black Wing City is in the millions.
Demons of various types, sizes, and powers inhabit the Abyss, embodying chaos as their forms are not confined to any order; their very bodies are impediments of chaos.
The number of this group cannot be called rare in the Tal plane, and the number of elves is much smaller than theirs.
An elven tribe with a population of tens of thousands can be called a large tribe in Tal.
If the elves have a population of one million, then it is an elven kingdom.
"From now on, your race will be called 'Battle Greymon,' and as the firstborn, you are strong enough, so you will naturally lead all future Battle Greymons," I said slowly.
"Thank you, great master." The leader of the Battle Greymon beast humbly lowered his huge, ferocious Tyrannosaurus head covered with dark metal, his tone unable to conceal his excitement.
Compared to the body of the Oremon, the powerful body of this Battle Greymon now makes it more nostalgic.
It's very satisfying.
No, it should be quite satisfying!
After Battle Greymon retreated, I fell into deep thought.
The victory of Battle Greymon does not mean that the Giant Angel is weaker than him. After all, the Giant Angel did not use its flying ability in this battle, but purely fought hand to hand.
If the flying ability had been used, then Battle Greymon could have transformed into metal wings and even used metal storms to bombard the Giant Angel from a distance, but the result is still unknown, and it may have lost to the Giant Angel.
However, when I created a race like Battle Greymon, it was naturally focused on land warfare.
No race is without its limits and faults.
Even true dragons are only trying to be perfect and are not as good as real giants in physical strength.
"The Death Patroller and the Battle Greymon are both land-based soldiers. The former is good at mental manipulation and mental attacks, while the latter is good at melee combat and can also serve as a long-range soldier," I pondered.
Descendants of the Void are in pseudo-dragon form and are good at all aspects, but at the same time, they are not the most outstanding in any one aspect. Their flying agility is very strong, but it cannot reach the same level of top speed. Their strength is very strong, but it cannot reach the terrifying power of the Giant Angel. Their defense is also very strong, but it cannot reach the defensive capabilities of the Power Angel and Battle Greymon.
Today's seven major categories of void angels also have their own advantages and disadvantages.
"What kind of troops are we missing?" I pondered.
Soon, I thought of the shortcomings of today's Dragon Nest troops.
Or it can't be said to be a shortcoming; it can only be said to be some shortcomings compared with other aspects.
A complete ranged unit.
The characteristics of the power of the void give void creatures a very powerful ability to dominate the body. So, how about creating a 'shooter' race?
Do whatever comes to my mind.
I began to search for a suitable modified race in my 'material library.'
The 'material library' is the gray space.
The Void army fights in the Abyss (large-scale main force) and in Tal (small-scale). The different races they encounter will have void seeds planted in them, and when the void seeds deeply infiltrate the creature, after the creature dies, the soul naturally returns to gray white space.
Gradually, the gray space gathered thousands of races.
However, because the main void army is fighting in the Abyss Lava Wasteland, 90% of the races are abyss demons, abyss creatures, and dark creatures.
"Archer." I used this characteristic and talent to look for a suitable race and soon found a bunch of them.
Elf, Night Elf, Gray Winged Monster, Abyss Thorn, Needletooth…
The reason why there are night elves is naturally because, after the battle with Duolun City five or six years ago, void seeds were quietly planted in those high-level night elves. Then these high-level and master-level night elves were destroyed by the power of the void. After being deeply infiltrated, I silently transformed them into void creatures that were completely loyal to me.
I deliberately kept their appearance unchanged. They still looked like night elves, but inside, they had long since changed into void forms.
These high-level night elves quietly spread void seeds within the now closed city of Duolun, and under the eyes of Night Lord Fatos, they developed and expanded void creatures for me.
Today, there are tens of millions of night elves in the city of Duolun. More than four million night elves have been planted with void seeds, and hundreds of thousands of night elves have been twisted by me into void night elves.
It won't be long before my personal intervention is needed. Night Lord Fatos' tribe will have to change its name.
I'm looking forward to that day.
After pondering for a moment, I began to transform these selected creatures.
Anyway, I have a lot of free time and plenty of time to modify them one by one to see if I can create a powerful long-range talent race.
Time passed, and in Castle Black, I was still thinking about my work.
In the outside world, the main continent of Tal has been devastated after nearly ten years of demonic invasion.
---
Eight years have passed since the Crimson Mother and the Dark Frost Giant Lord came to Tal for a battle.
In eight years, with the medium-sized Abyss Gate operating at full capacity, the total number of demons coming to Tal has approached 10 billion.
To be precise, the area where the demons invaded should be the main continent of Tal and some shallow sea areas.
The deep sea and the numerous islands dotting the deep sea are still as peaceful as ever.
The only change is that Deep Sea's movements have become a little more frequent than before the demon invasion, and the target has also changed.
Originally, the three overlord empires of the deep sea often fought wars, with the intention of consuming more and more creatures in the deep sea. However, with the invasion of demons and the aura of the abyss beginning to pollute Tal, the three overlord empires of the deep sea were unable to sit still.
How can they bear it when their beautiful home is about to be polluted and turned into a garbage dump bit by bit?
They simply can't bear it!
Therefore, the three deep-sea emperors—the Mermaid Queen, the Sea Emperor, and the Naga Queen—met, finally united their front, and made a decision:
The three sea empires will no longer engage in internal strife or conflict before the demons are expelled. At the same time, each empire will be responsible for a specific area and will clear out the demons within it.
In fact, the best way to eradicate the demonic invasion is to destroy the Gate of the Abyss.
However, in this regard, the three deep-sea emperors automatically ignored this point.
This is because the Dark Frost Giant Lord has been stationed at the Gate of the Abyss.
With their fierce fighting power being used to chase the Crimson Mother, the three sea clans have only one way to destroy the Gate of the Abyss:
Contact the gods they believe in—either to send down an incarnation of divine power or to dispatch a divine envoy.
However, gods are not beings that believers can summon at will, let alone beings who will appear just because someone encounters difficulties.
Or to put it more precisely: gods require their believers to suffer.
Only through suffering is the power of pious faith born.
Messy pan-beliefs are essentially garbage and poison to a god and are difficult to use. Only the power of pious faith can create some wonderful effects for a deity.
This is why the Tal Plane is a territory ruled by the gods of the deep sea, yet there are still other races living there. The deep sea has not been allowed to submerge the continent entirely and turn Tal into a deep-sea world.
This is part of the tacit understanding among the gods of the star worlds.
When there is no external pressure, when believers are singing, dancing, and carefree, how can the gods harvest faith?
Billions of pan-believers are not as effective to the gods as one hundred thousand fanatical believers!
Take, for example, the kobold racial god, 'Kurtulmak,' a great being who has attained moderate divine power.
The god Kurtulmak is well-known in the astral world.
He frequently descends and incarnates into the material plane, granting knowledge to wild kobold tribes so they can rise from their suffering and oppression.
To those who do not understand the nature of gods, Kurtulmak's behavior may appear as deep affection for his race.
But other powerful beings—true gods—naturally understand that behind Kurtulmak's actions lies self-interest.
When the suffering and oppressed kobolds receive guidance from their racial god's incarnation during their darkest moments, what will the result be?
Fanaticism. Incomparable fanaticism.
Kurtulmak's ability to reach intermediate divine power relies not only on the kobolds scattered across the material planes of the star worlds but, more importantly, on the vast number of his fanatical believers—among whom there are many with such devout belief that their souls are sublimated into saints who never fade!
If these kobold believers were not generally weak in potential and strength, Kurtulmak would have already reached the level of powerful divine power.
Of course, that being said, if kobolds were as strong as giants and dragons, they wouldn't have suffered as much, and naturally, not as many fanatical believers and saints would have been born.
Weakness leads to greater suffering, and suffering more easily gives rise to pious faith.
Strength provides more faith energy to the gods, but it does not easily produce pious belief.
This truth is evident in the divine power levels of the gods of various races.
The two most famous gods of the Dragon Clan—Tiamat and Bahamut—both have only weak divine powers.
Among the gods of the elves, many possess only weak or medium divine power.
There are numerous human gods with divine powers ranging from weak to medium, and even high strong.
The dwarf gods also have many middle-level deities, and their main god is even more powerful.
---
Main Continent of Tal, Southern Region.
Compared to the completely occupied northern and eastern regions—as well as the western and central regions that have been severely invaded—the south is now the area least affected by demons on the main continent.
And the reason?
Because the Black Nest is here.
In the early years—namely the first year or two of the demonic invasion—the Black Nest was not prominent in the south, let alone on the entire continent.
But as time passed, and the Black Nest continued dispatching troops to eliminate demons with the Dark Forest as its center, the territory it occupied grew larger and larger.
It was not until three years ago, when the Black Nest's territory exceeded 50 million square kilometers, that the demons of the Eternal Night Winter Plane and the major forces still lingering on the continent began to pay attention to it.
