Chapter 374: Strange Evolution
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Next, I just have to let it die…” The Ether Dragon maintained her low-temperature dragon breath, unhurriedly roasting one of the Void Evil that she had pressed on the planet while thinking about how to deal with the next one.
Due to her opponent’s unexpected weakness, she tested the power of the Dragon Breath Beam with a lot of Void Evils before she could test the temperature tolerance of these Void Evils, which was about 10,000 degrees.
When their carapace exceeded 10,000 degrees, it would begin to melt, and the magical anti-thermodynamic nature would not play much of a role in this process.
The absorption of heat seemed to be a slow and long-lasting process. Once the temperature exceeded what the Void Evil could withstand, it would quickly leak its heat energy like a punctured balloon.
However, the temperature of 10,000 degrees was too low. As a result, the Ether Dragon had no choice but to switch from her previous extreme mode to low-power mode. Her body no longer shone like stars, and her impact on the s.p.a.ce environment was no longer so great. The Dragon Breath Beam could also maintain the level of slowly roasting the Void Evil.
Since it was revenge, she naturally wouldn’t show mercy to these Void Beasts who had eaten her kind. It was a pity that she didn’t have flexible limbs or convenient psionic power now, so she couldn’t torture the Void Evil in more ways.
Even though she had already killed more than 20 Void Evils, she was still not satisfied.
Therefore, she slightly increased the temperature of the Dragon Breath Beam, preparing to completely end the life of this Void Evil.
The high temperature completely roasted this Void Evil into pieces of charred carbon. One could almost smell the burning smell even through the vacuum.
However, the Ether Dragon sensed that something was wrong. Although she did not have any detection equipment like the life signal detector, the s.p.a.ce lifeforms’ unique perception of life force made her realize that there was still an active lifeform under the carbonized sh.e.l.l.
“…What’s going on?” She let go of the huge body that was pressing down on the Void Evil and looked at the completely unrecognizable charcoal body in confusion.
At this temperature, the dragon’s breath could only burn like this. However, in the past, this meant that the Void Evil had completely lost its vitality, unlike now, where it seemed to show signs of rebirth.
In the next moment, a crack appeared on the carbonized black sh.e.l.l and quickly spread. No sound could be heard, but the cracking sounds could be heard through the rapidly spreading crack.
Under the crack was a dark green sh.e.l.l. It did not look much different from before, but the Ether Dragon had a vague feeling that the Dragon Breath Beam could no longer hurt it.
The carbonized old body quickly disintegrated as the pieces fell off. A Void Evil that was almost identical to before appeared on the spot again.
It still maintained its arrogant posture, as if it was not the one who had been injured. As it shook off the remaining carbonized fragments, it roared at the Ether Dragon.
This Nirvana Rebirth ability, which had never been shown before, covered the Void Evil with a mysterious veil again. It also made the Ether Dragon re-evaluate these s.p.a.ce lifeforms, which she thought were extremely fragile.
Although their current performance was indeed not very strong, they had once eaten Ether Dragons and chased Presolin everywhere. Perhaps it was not entirely because there was a terrifying hunter civilization behind them. They definitely had their own unique strengths.
A Dragon Breath Beam that was even more condensed than before hit this Void Evil again. This time, the temperature was dozens of times higher than before, and the energy was more concentrated. It looked like a main cannon had been fired.
According to the temperature and tolerance of the Void Evil, this attack was enough to kill it. However, miraculously, the Void Evil did not die instantly this time. Instead, it kept twisting its body in the Dragon Breath Beam and did not stop roaring.
Although its carapace still had to turn red and melt under high temperatures, the burning pain also stimulated its ferocity.
The Void Evil resisted the pressure of the Dragon Breath Beam and struggled to get up, as if it wanted to pose facing the Ether Dragon.
At this moment, the black carapace had already evaporated, and the protected body inside had been instantly pierced through by the high temperature. At least a quarter of its body had been lost, but it did not die immediately.
Nirvana’s Void Evil seemed to have extraordinary vitality. It maintained its position facing the Ether Dragon and actually opened its front jaw, as if it was preparing to spray something.
However, the Ether Dragon did not give it the chance. Instead, the dragon’s breath moved up and cut it in half from the middle.
In the end, the Void Evil failed to attack. This time, the Dragon Breath Beam completely killed it and burned it into particles.
Their bodies no longer existed, so it was naturally impossible for them to be reborn again. However, the Ether Dragon still carefully roasted the entire planet until the planet had lost half of its ma.s.s.
As for the Ether Dragon who had eradicated the enemy by the roots, she recalled the state of the Void Evil just now, and her previous disdainful att.i.tude gradually converged.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen Void Evil attacks before, but that acid attack that looked very corrosive and poisonous couldn’t even break her skin.
Not to mention the slow trajectory flight method, as long as she wanted to dodge, this liquid could not hit her at all.
However, the first thing the Ether Dragon attacked was the poisonous gland of the Void Evil. Even if she wanted to kill the other party, she was used to disarming the other party first. In theory, it was impossible for the Void Evil to have any other attack methods.
However, at the last moment, the Void Evil was still prepared to spray something. Vaguely, the Ether Dragon felt that it was an energy attack.
It was hard to imagine how they could form organs that could carry out energy attacks in such a short period of time, and this did make the Ether Dragon panic for a moment. She directly used the Dragon Breath Beam to kill the Void Evil.
Now that she no longer had the means to verify it, she could only pin her hopes on the next Void Evil.
However, before setting sail again, she used her unique lifeform signal to convey her discovery to the friendlies in this galaxy.
At the same time, Presolin, who was using psionic energy to kill the Void Evil, gradually realized that something was wrong.
Presolin, including the Queen, could sense that the influence of psionic energy on the Void Evil had decreased.
This reduction was extremely weak, but the powerful perception brought by psionic energy could accurately detect this little abnormality.
If it was an ordinary enemy, they might not care too much about such an abnormality. However, the other party was the hound that had chased after them for a long time. This made them have to be cautious at all times.
The moment she sensed the weakening of the psionic influence, Queen Presolin changed from her previous state of splitting up to take revenge. She gathered all the warriors around her and attacked the weak with the strong. She began to devour the Void Evils one by one.
While striving for stability, he was also observing the changes in the Void Evil. At the same time, he tried his best to reduce the use of psionic energy and began to fight with his body.
When they hunted for the 45th Void Evil, they received a special signal from the Ether Dragon.
To be precise, the Voyager received the message from the Ether Dragon immediately and sent it back to the Administrator. At the same time, he also sent the message to his other teammates in the galaxy.
The strange Nirvana of the Void Evil made them understand at least one thing, which was that they could no longer deal with these strange Void Beasts with the mentality of “playing” or “experimenting.”
Queen Presolin made a prompt decision. Using herself as the node of the psionic network, she gathered powerful psionic power and released it in the form of a light cannon.
Psionic energy itself was also a form of energy. Previously, they had mostly used psionic energy to restrain and pull the Void Evil and then engage in primitive hand-to-hand combat with the other party. But now, in pursuit of destructive power, this psionic energy had changed from a thread that only had support abilities to a spear.
A psionic ray that was not inferior to the t.i.tan Battleship’s main cannon swept past a fleeing Void Evil and easily split it in half.
The psionic rays did not stop there. Instead, while maintaining the firing state, they swept toward the other Void Evils and quickly killed a few more.
Logically speaking, Presolin should be happy to have killed so many former enemies so easily, but the queen had an increasingly ominous feeling.
The vague memories of the Void Evils in his memory were constantly flashing. They were much larger than they were now. Although they were all planet-sized bodies, there was a difference between ordinary planets and giant gas planets.
These Void Evil had just hatched not long ago, which meant that they were still a group of babies and not true adult Void Evil.
However, the adult Void Evils in his memories could easily pa.s.s through distant s.p.a.ce to catch up to them. None of their weapons were effective against these lifeforms. They could only watch helplessly as a large number of their compatriots used their bodies to stop these gluttonous lives.
Their Presolin’s powerful reproduction ability was related to this past experience. Not only was it to allow their descendants to continue, but it was also to use their bodies to stop the Void Evil.
All kinds of terrifying memories surged into her mind, making Queen Presolin’s efficiency in gathering psionic energy a little unstable.
However, when she tried her best to calm down and devote all her energy to eliminating the Void Evil, something unbelievable happened.
However, when the psionic spear of light shot at a Void Evil, it deviated slightly. Although the spear of light still hit the Void Evil, it did not cause any fatal damage because of the abnormal deviation.
What was unbelievable to the Queen was that during this process, she discovered psionic fluctuations from the Void Evil..
