Chapter 679: Chapter 286 The Special Features of the Instance (6k)_2
After Bai Yi explained the concept of Abnormal Object again, Grazi confirmed this understanding.
"It’s mostly a similar idea. Our Forest Elves haven’t been able to produce our own Ninth Rank because we don’t have a suitable Demon Core.
But fortunately, for the 8th Rank, we can stabilize ourselves by relying on the Elf Forest, and have always maintained the last extent of our territory."
"If we calculate it this way, the Ninth Rank of this world is still within a manageable range, but if you have mastered the Abnormal Object, you really need to be cautious.
However, according to this calculation, wouldn’t those great demons also be a group of Ninth Rank?"
Having recently used the balance, she naturally knew the high priority of Abnormal Objects. Although her Soul Weapon could also create some "Artificial Abnormal Objects," she was aware of the gap between these "artificial" objects and the real ones.
Yet, as Grazi said, although the power of these Ninth Rank beings has been elevated, they are also severely restricted as a result.
While Abnormal Objects are powerful, their premise of affecting enemies is that they first affect the user itself.
All powers that do not conform to the Abnormal Object will be suppressed by it. Bai Yi speculated this might also be why abilities are actually limited after promotion.
Just like the experiment Landon once did, any Ice Series spell is futile in front of a Fire Series Abnormal Object.
And according to what Grazi just mentioned, the promotion of this world’s Ninth Rank requires turning an Abnormal Object into one’s core, possibly using it as one’s source of strength.
If you summarize her current theory, it is akin to pulling one’s soul essence up by hitching onto the priority of the Abnormal Object, meaning the power is essentially given by the Abnormal Object.
Under such circumstances, how could one possibly use spells of other series?
"If that’s the case, the abilities of these Ninth Rank beings become very distinctive.
Calculating this way, I have at least two advantages. One is that because these Ninth Rank abilities cannot be hidden, I can fully prepare in advance to counter them.
And the other advantage is...
As long as they haven’t truly broken through to the Seventh Rank level, my superpower in priority has never feared anyone!"
Bai Yi thought to herself.
However, despite saying this, she did not develop any sense of superiority, for the group of 8th and Ninth Rank beings are genuinely of a high level, requiring the exploration of new combat strategies to bring out her traditional skills.
In short, since it is confirmed that this instance is still within a manageable scope, the next step is to begin the development process.
Turning to Grazi, Bai Yi immediately asked:
"What about the other Forest Elves? Since I have been acknowledged as the Forest Elf Master, I need to meet them!"
And then thoroughly make them her own people!
"Of course, but our Forest Elves are now divided into three different tribes, each occupying a place in the Elf Forest, not to mention the independent Forest Elves.
Yet, as long as you step forward, the other two Elf Forests will not be a problem, but those Forest Elves scattered throughout various forests we truly have no means to handle..."
"No problem, then let’s start with this tribe!"
Bai Yi shook her head, indicating she did not mind, for as long as the Fungus Blanket expanded outwards, finding those scattered Forest Elves wouldn’t be an issue!
Withdrawing her gaze from the Demon Channel, Bai Yi instructed Ju to leave the forest and explore the surroundings, while she herself, under Grazi’s guidance, delved deeper into the forest.
It must be said, the forest managed by Forest Elves for thousands of years is indeed different; the scale is incomparable to her rapidly grown, nouveau riche self.
Merely in terms of this forest, Bai Yi felt it was as large as a region in a territorial world.
Moreover, the further she went, the more ancient and powerful the trees became, even with some having already developed Spiritual Wisdom, belonging to the Tree-man level. Although the strongest were stuck at Tier Six, the accumulation of time allowed them to continually advance on the Tier Six track.
She even saw a few trees stronger than the Tree-man she created.
And it should be noted, her Tree-man had more genes than a normal natural Tree-man, leading to various attributes being far ahead of the same rank.
If only counting a few physical attributes, it even surpasses some weak Seventh Rank!
And these are all transcendent plants, excellent gene extraction sources...
Wandering through the woods for an unknown length of time, her attention captivated by plants, Bai Yi failed to notice she had already reached her destination.
It was a giant tree about the same size as You before her promotion, with several simple, living tree houses around, clearly the result of Forest Elves nurturing plants with their own strength.
On the way here, Grazi had already summoned all the Forest Elves through her status, not keeping her waiting long before a substantial number of Forest Elves gathered in the clearing around the giant tree.
This mode of summoning seemed to be a method of communication based on the forest. Although she did not use it, she silently noted this approach.
After quite a few Forest Elves gathered, Bai Yi decided not to wait any longer, broadly unleashing the long-prepared Genetic Fusion to encompass the entire clearing.
Due to having already reached Seventh Rank in superpower, she could even directly cover the entire forest with Genetic Fusion, though such consumption would be rather high.
