Chapter 726: Chapter 298: The Spread of Faith in Progress (6k)
When Bai Yi saw the liquid tentacles rising from the lake surface, he knew that Sea Son’s fusion of the Abnormal Object had succeeded.
He quickly opened the panel, and Sea Son’s talents had already manifested.
[Heart of Fluid: Control liquid substances and attempt to transform any liquid. Elemental damage +100%, physical damage +100%, fluid attacks add 10% true damage]
"So this is the essential ability of this Abnormal Object...
Transformation and control of liquid, wait a minute, this ability is so strong, even stronger than Magga’s gaseous mastery.
Magga’s gaseous mastery cannot even transform substances! Not only can this one master, but it can also choose to transform!
The ability bonuses are impressive too. Elemental damage should refer to spell attacks from control, while physical damage probably refers to the intensity of controlling liquids.
But with such strong abilities, that demon today was way too weak...
The ability even has a 10% true damage, yet I didn’t feel anything during today’s self-destruction...
Well, that makes sense. I don’t primarily rely on defensive power and resilience, but on pure health and recovery, so even 100% true damage doesn’t make much difference to me."
Even though her normal resilience is not low, with various genetic stacking, even considering some enemy abilities like penetration at corresponding ranks, overall attribute damage can be reduced by more than fifty percent.
However, relative to her health and recovery abilities, such resilience is insignificant.
After all, the damage that resilience can resist is limited, but now her health combined with temporary health has exceeded five hundred thousand.
She’s even wondering if her main body advances further and with the rotten remnants of this harvest’s Abnormal Object, this value could even surpass the million mark!
"But now that this Abnormal Object is in my hands, I must make good use of it.
Liquid control is rather common, although skilled manipulation of liquids can create various effects, the maximum potential of liquid control is limited.
After all, it belongs to material control types, and the type of damage is fixed. Fluid manipulation won’t deal more damage than Rand’s earth control.
On the contrary, fluid transformation seems to have greater potential.
The slime that the great demon exploded into at the end today should belong to the transformed special liquid, just that its effects seem mediocre, the corrosion ability is not even as good as the poison blood I configured with genes...
Indeed, it was just that great demon today that was too weak..."
As for how to transform, Bai Yi already had some ideas.
Fluid is fluid, as long as it’s liquid, why must it always flow as water?
However, since the fusion involves Abnormal Objects, the panel’s description of such high-level matters is limited, it’s still necessary to test the abilities first to determine the details of the Abnormal Object’s granted abilities.
This is already the fourth Abnormal Object she has fused for her subordinate clans, so she is familiar with the process.
Soon, Bai Yi obtained a new ability test report from the network.
"Hmm, the main abilities are still these two, control and transformation. Control consumes less magic power and is the true core of this ability.
Transformation consumes more magic power, but the more similar the material, the less magic power is consumed...
This is expected, after all, even the material simulation array needs to consume a large amount of magic power, an Abnormal Object couldn’t possibly bypass this principle outright.
What a pity, I originally planned to do some liquid metal control since it wasn’t stipulated that molten metal isn’t liquid.
Unfortunately, molten metals and lava, though both can be controlled, aren’t materials that can be stably maintained in a normal environment.
To maintain a liquid state, it’s necessary to simultaneously use material transformation, consuming certain magic power to continually refresh their temperature to keep their molten state.
This results in a significantly increased consumption of magic power, making the cost-performance ratio too low.
Well, short-term use is still feasible, but it’s still better to study a more cost-effective stable corrosive liquid that exists permanently.
Conversely, this ability to expand the range of effects through liquid is quite handy, and it also comes with a magic power recovery effect, speeding up recovery as long as in a liquid environment."
Bai Yi’s eyes lit up upon seeing this point.
This ability was not unfamiliar to Bai Yi, as it had been demonstrated early on in the Metallic Embodiment of the Mechanical Brain Worm.
The ability expanded the range through metal, but this Abnormal Object does so through controlled liquid, additionally enhancing magic power recovery through liquid.
Needless to say, this ability is practically tailored for sea combat.
Placed on Sea Son, it’s simply perfect. Already an ocean combat unit, with this ability all bonuses are nearly perpetual.
It’s safe to say this is almost the strongest among the four Hero Units cultivated this time.
Yes, Sea Son is already the fourth Hero Unit she has cultivated today.
The four Abnormal Objects harvested today for training Hero Units have all been fused separately into the subordinate clans within this day, cultivating four Hero Units.
This Sea Son is already the last one.
The other three Abnormal Objects were a force field type and two energy control types.
The former can create a special latent rigid force field, similar to creating latent blocks, possessing attack, defense, sealing, and other abilities with comprehensive functions, which Bai Yi assigned to an Insect Clan.
