Chapter 92: Talent · Crimson Ancestor
Chapter 92: Talent · Crimson Ancestor
"Almost didn't make it, but fortunately, my Crimson Meditation Method is flawless. Otherwise, I would have really been done for."
Qin Muye's tone carried a hint of lingering fear. He had spent a great deal of time transforming and merging the Crimson Origin, even using the flesh and blood technology from the Book of Gospels to cultivate a special fusion medium with his own blood and flesh, allowing him to manipulate energy through flesh and blood, thus integrating it completely into his body.
As a result, he gained a Lord Talent.
【Crimson Ancestor: Crimson Elemental Tier +1, Territory Crimson Elemental Adaptability +1】
This meant he had become a humanoid Crimson Elemental, affecting not only himself but also his territory. And this was just the initial version; it could be further enhanced in the future.
The fusion was successful, but development would still depend on his own efforts. Of course, gaining a Lord Talent had its benefits, such as the ability to elevate it further.
"But it's a bit of a loss, I've lost a lot of skills and spells."
The Crimson Ancestor essentially converted his elemental magic power into Crimson Magic Power. Due to the inherent repulsion of Crimson towards elements, divine power, and magic power, all his skills and spells related to elements disappeared.
For example, Basic Fire Understanding and Basic Nature Understanding.
However, skills like Mystic Arts and Wisdom Arts remained, which puzzled Qin Muye a bit.
The skills were gone, but he was not without compensation. He gained Expert-Level Crimson Understanding and Expert-Level Crimson Proficiency.
【Expert-Level Crimson Understanding: +4 Crimson Magic Power, -4 Consumption】
【Expert-Level Crimson Proficiency: +20% Effect of Crimson Magic】
At the same time, his magic panel now had only two spells left: Smart Magic · Magic Web and Crimson Magic · Magic Arrow.
Hmm, the spell that every school has.
【Level 1 Crimson Magic】
【Magic Arrow: Deals (Strength × Crimson Tier × 14) + 14 damage, Consumption: 1 Magic Point】
With the addition of the Crimson Tier attribute, a new formula was added to Magic Arrow. Although his tier was still 1, it could grow.
"Even though it's not in Lord's Era anymore, I still remember how to cast spells."
Qin Muye thought for a moment and tried to cast a healing spell using magic.
Crimson magic power flowed, forming a red sea that instantly coalesced into a massive red crystal.
Even his body was covered in red crystals, but soon, crimson streaks appeared on his skin, absorbing all the red crystals.
"The difference in elemental properties means the same spell has different effects. This is a headache."
Qin Muye was a bit frustrated. Healing spells are typically generated using magic power and water elements, but now, as a Crimson Ancestor, the unique nature of Crimson elements turned healing into a funeral spell.
However, there were benefits. He could easily control the entire Crimson element, ensuring an abundant supply of materials for Crimson Intrusion, allowing him to achieve any desired concentration.
Moreover, if he could strengthen the Crimson resistance of the creatures under his command, they could use Crimson Crystal products, which are potent magical weapons.
One should not look at things from just one perspective; it's important to consider multiple aspects.
【You have learned Level 5 Crimson Magic: Crimson Tide】
【Crimson Tide: Deals (Tier × Strength × 500) damage and leaves a permanent regional energy decay, Consumption: 100 Magic Points】
"Ah, this. You've turned my self-destruct spell into an area-of-effect attack."
This was Qin Muye's self-destruct skill, which could be stopped and emitted the same aura as his Crimson Intrusion.
However, self-destruction involved many steps. Unless he died, it wouldn't immediately detonate; it required multiple permissions and valves. This was a matter of life and death, and he wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, his self-destruction was far more powerful than a typical one, especially with the cooperation of the Magic Source.
The explosive power might not match his Crimson Intrusion, but the aftermath would be severe enough to affect the entire continent.
The true core was not the initial explosive power but the subsequent radiation and decay, which would assimilate everything.
Otherwise, in terms of power, could he really be stronger than those top-ranked lords?
Only by making them understand that once they provoke him, they might be fine, but the entire world would weaken as a result, making life unbearable for everyone, including lords, deities, and natives. Radiation and decay would not just affect one generation but would continue for millennia, even actively spreading and expanding. This is truly terrifying. Without corresponding management methods, after Qin Muye's death, the entire Crimson would corrupt and erode the entire Magic Continent.
In the end, the Magic Continent would naturally become the Crimson Continent.
More importantly, if Qin Muye's death leads to the disappearance of the Crimson Origin, it would be very difficult for a new civilization to develop from the Crimson.
Unless someone else with his learning ability and academic research capabilities, which are bestowed by Lord's Era as rule-like learning and research abilities, appears.
Moreover, they would need The Book of Gospels, the Crimson Origin, and the Crimson Meditation Formula. Otherwise, it would not be a short-term solution.
If the Crimson is not resolved in its early stages, once it spreads, it will be very difficult to handle.
Thus, theoretically, Qin Muye has become a time bomb that can affect the entire world at any moment.
The reason it is theoretical is because of the existence of Lord's Era. Who knows if other lords have the ability to respond.
Fortunately, Qin Muye is not really planning to die; he just wants to establish his authority and serve as a deterrent. If he acts recklessly, what if he provokes a desperate response?
His original intention was to protect himself, not to do something he shouldn't.
"Protection is secured, but how do I choose the chicken to kill to warn the monkeys?"
Qin Muye was pondering this. The next day was the tenth day of the True Dragon Emperor's ultimatum.
He had created his 'sword' to protect himself, even transforming himself into a larger 'sword,' but this 'sword' needs to be unsheathed to show everyone its might.
Otherwise, how can a 'sword' in its sheath demonstrate its power?
He needs to find a scapegoat to blow up, so everyone knows he has this powerful weapon in his hands.
Otherwise, when the real fight starts, how can his small territory withstand it? It would definitely be affected.
With this powerful weapon, anyone who provokes him will have to think twice.
"Damn, thinking about this, I've really lost out. If I had spent the ten days researching other things, maybe I could have advanced my territory to a higher level." Qin Muye grumbled. If not for the circumstances, he wouldn't have rushed to research these things.
After all, the knowledge he brought back from Wen State included nuclear bombs. If he had developed his territory's industry, the radiation from nuclear bombs would be no less destructive than the Crimson Intrusion, and he wouldn't have had to transform himself into a Crimson Ancestor.
But there are benefits. At least he has the means to protect himself, without the need for self-destruction.
After all, the Crimson is extremely powerful, especially as a Crimson Ancestor, his advantages in Crimson magic are unparalleled.
"The only downside is that the upper limit of this world is a bit low, with the highest being only Level 5 magic. Will there be a server merge in the future?" Qin Muye couldn't help but let his imagination run wild while making the Crimson Intrusion.
"If there's a server merge, will there be cross-server battles?"
"Since Level 6 is the limit, to become Level 7, one would need the entire Magic Continent. It can't really stop at Level 7, can it?"
Qin Muye believed that this wasn't a matter of timing.
The initial month of black hands shows that Lord's Era is not a benevolent entity. Otherwise, it wouldn't deliberately provoke conflicts between lords and natives.
Now, with only a few lords left, it clearly demonstrates its cruelty.
【Magic Scroll · Crimson Intrusion】
【Magic Level: Forbidden Spell】
【Effect: Causes 10,000 points of Crimson damage within a 100-kilometer radius and forms a permanent elemental, magical, and divine decay in the damage area, which is capable of expansion】
The latest version of Crimson Intrusion is at the Forbidden Spell level, which means it is above Level 5 magic.
After all, the highest level of magic on the Magic Continent is Level 5, and anything higher is classified as a Forbidden Spell.
The damage hasn't changed, but the range has increased and it has the capability to expand. It says 100 kilometers, but over time, it could potentially reach a radius of 10,000 kilometers.
