Chapter 1818 Sylvia's Dilemma
Leo, with his psychic wings spread out, emerged from a crack in a dead volcano crater, drew an arc in the air, and landed next to the aircraft parked at the edge of the crater.
After cleaning the dust off his body, Leo opened the door of the aircraft and walked in, and walked into a cargo storage cabin near the door.
In the middle of the cabin, a huge cocoon was lying. The silk threads that made up the cocoon all emitted bursts of purple light. If you look closely, you can see that the surface of these silk threads all have a layer of mysterious patterns.
In addition, six identical totem poles were erected around the cocoon. These totem poles were all shaman totem poles, but the runes on the totem poles were not only shaman runes, but also Turing roots and some symbols that exuded divine power. The power of the six totem poles was intertwined, forming an energy field that wrapped the cocoon in it. The surrounding natural forces were also quickly concentrated under the traction of the totem poles, making the natural forces in the energy field dozens of times thicker than those in the outside world.
Leo walked to the cocoon and carefully checked the cocoon. After confirming that everything was normal, he left the cabin, came to the cockpit, started the aircraft, and flew to the next location of the stone throne fragment he sensed.
More than a month has passed since he absorbed the stone throne fragment in the desert. During this time, Leo found six more stone throne fragments. Including the stone throne fragment he just absorbed at the bottom of the crater, he has found a total of ten stone throne fragments in Vanaheim. The stone throne fragment he is going to now is the strongest of all the stone throne fragments he has sensed. He feels that he should be able to absorb this fragment now.
Although according to Leo's original plan, he should put this fragment aside for absorption, absorb other stone throne fragments with weak resonance reactions first, and then let himself control the power of the stone throne to the best state, and then absorb the power of the stone throne in this fragment, which will be safer.
But plans can't keep up with changes, because he feels that only by absorbing this stone throne fragment with the strongest resonance reaction can his life level evolve again and reach the level of a ninth-level psychic, so that he can help Sylvia get out of the current predicament.
In fact, when there were so many cases of power out of control before, Leo and Sylvia had already considered the situation of power backlash in the future, and they had made some preparations for this. Leo even specially formulated several sets of antipathy to solve the problem of power out of control for himself and Sylvia. What they didn't expect was that the power out of control came so suddenly, and the reason for the out of control was completely beyond their expectations.
According to their guess, Sylvia's power out of control is definitely related to the original power, because the original power out of control has happened several times before, so Sylvia will consciously strengthen the control of the original power, and Leo has also made some wizard artifacts for the power of hunters to help Sylvia control her original power.
However, what they could never have imagined was that after Sylvia absorbed the incomplete divinity of the God of Nature of Hua Naheim from the remains of the god through the power of the origin, something unexpected happened.
Originally, they thought that the extremely weak incomplete divinity should be easily subdued by the power of the God Hunter, just like the power of the Abyss Dragon and the witch in Sylvia's body, but the first half was normal. The incomplete divinity was indeed captured and fused by the power of the God Hunter, but in the process of fusion, the incomplete divinity produced a very strong corrosive force and began to erode the God Hunter in the opposite direction. What made Leo and Sylvia feel incredible was that although the power of the God Hunter suppressed and controlled the incomplete divinity and resisted erosion, a strong natural force erupted from the depths of the source of the power of the God Hunter, which echoed with the incomplete divinity of the God of Nature, and there was a momentum to erode the God Hunter from the inside and outside.
Sylvia, who sensed something was wrong, immediately executed Leo's plan for the worst-case scenario, using the power of the Hunter God to wrap herself up, putting herself in a state of suspended animation, stopping all changes in her body, and greatly slowing down the erosion.
And Leo immediately thought of a way to temporarily prevent the bad situation from getting worse. This method was very simple, which was to make the incomplete divinity and the natural force in the origin of the Hunter God, which were originally in a cooperative state, no longer echo each other, but become mutually exclusive, so that Sylvia could be a bystander, and the erosion would not continue before the two sides decided the winner.
For this reason, he specially used shaman spells and rune magic circles to arrange a natural force energy field, extracting a large amount of natural force from the outside world to strengthen the incomplete divinity of the God of Nature, which was in a weak position. As he expected, when the incomplete divinity was strengthened by the external natural force, it naturally had a repulsive reaction to the natural force in the origin of the Hunter God, and the situation in Sylvia's body reached a balanced state.
However, this state of balance is not stable. Leo can feel that the natural power in the origin of the God Hunter is strengthening, and it seems that it is still drawing other powers from the God Hunter, especially the power of the Abyss Dragon and the Witch. This is definitely bad news for Sylvia, because according to the current situation, Sylvia is the weakest party in this state of balance. No matter which side is strengthened, it is not good for her. Now it is impossible to solve this problem from her own perspective, and she can only start from the outside.
Sylvia's current life form level is almost equivalent to a ninth-level psychic. Although Leo's overall strength is slightly stronger than Sylvia, he is slightly inferior in terms of life form level. The power of the God Hunter is not much worse than that of the Stone Throne. With his current strength, he may be self-defeating if he wants to help Sylvia, so his only way is to complete a life evolution in a short period of time and reach the level of a ninth-level psychic. The Stone Throne Fragment is the only choice now.
After that, Leo went to the nearest locations of the Stone Throne fragments at his fastest speed and absorbed the power of those fragments. The whole process was not smooth, at least it was much more troublesome than the Stone Throne fragment he absorbed in the forest.
For example, after the power generated by several fragments mixed with the power of nature, a very unique domain world was formed, and these domain worlds were extremely aggressive. If Leo was given enough time, he might be able to use the Time Domain Artifact to collect these domain worlds and increase the number of domains in the artifact. The more domains there are, the stronger the artifact will be. But now he doesn't have so much time to waste, so he used the most primitive method to directly break the domain world and contact the original Stone Throne fragments.
In addition to generating domain worlds, the power emitted by the Stone Throne fragments will also cause some special Vanaheim creatures to mutate. For example, at the bottom of the crater crack that Leo entered just now, he encountered a non-human race mutated by the Stone Throne fragments. This race should be a mutation of some underground worms. Although the appearance has become extremely hideous, the overall form remains roughly the same.
However, the mutation of appearance is not the biggest mutation of this underground worm group. The real substantial mutation is their brain. They have become extremely smart. Not only has an underground civilization developed, but the technology of this civilization has also evolved to the level of using energy weapons and devices. In the weapons and devices made by these underground worms, we can see a lot of shadows of Earth Federation technology. It seems that these extremely smart underground worms analyzed the weapons and devices of the Earth Federation dug from the ground, and then reversed the principles and manufacturing processes, and then absorbed the analyzed scientific and technological knowledge into their own civilization knowledge system.
From what Leo discovered, this underground worm civilization is a civilization with great potential. As long as its civilization development is not interrupted, then in the near future, this civilization should be able to pose a great threat to the rulers of this world.
However, this civilization is not without weaknesses. Although the mutation has made the bodies of these underground worms extremely strong and their brains extremely developed, their spirits are still extremely weak. They are so weak that Leo only used a large-scale mental shock, and all the underground worms in the range fainted. Leo approached the fragments of the stone throne, which was regarded as a sacred stone by the creatures of this civilization, without any resistance, and absorbed the power from it, leaving only an empty shell.
Because there is still an empty shell, and there is still a trace of the power of the stone throne on the empty shell, this underground worm civilization should not find anything abnormal in a short time.
But over time, they will definitely find something wrong, because without the power of the stone throne, they also lost the ability to mutate their larvae. In the end, their civilization will inevitably disappear due to the demise of those intelligent worms, and return to the reptile state.
This is also the sadness of this mutant civilization. Their civilization is built on mutation, and the ability to promote mutation does not come from themselves, but from external forces. They cannot fix the ability to mutate in their genes, so when the external force is lost, the end of their civilization is fixed, unless they can find a substitute source of power that allows them to continue to mutate before their final demise.
If they are in other worlds and that world also has fragments of the Stone Throne, it may be possible to find a source of power to save them, but in the Vanaheim world, all the fragments of the Stone Throne here have been targeted by Leo, and Leo is unlikely to leave them with any fragments and debris.
When the aircraft flew towards the fragment with the largest resonance reaction, Leo was not idle in the cockpit. He still followed the training method during this period, carefully controlling the power of the Stone Throne, and performing various psychic skills, spells and sorcery, etc. In the process of performing, he always made his operation extremely subtle, that is, to maximize the power of various psychic skills and spells and sorcery, but always controlled it in his hands and did not let it radiate.
The effect of such training is quite good. At least after absorbing the power contained in the stone throne fragments during this period, he has not lost control again. Whether it is the absorption process or the changes after seeing the power merge into the stone throne, they have never been out of his control. He even constantly stops the process of integrating the power into the stone throne in order to test his control ability.
However, even so, Leo still has no absolute certainty that he can absorb the next stone throne fragment without losing control, because the resonance reaction generated by that stone throne fragment is too strong, almost the sum of the resonance reactions generated by the stone throne fragments he absorbed before.
Moreover, there must be some mutations around that fragment, and no matter what the mutation is, it should be very dangerous.
About half a day later, the aircraft came to the location of the stone throne fragments that Leo sensed. Under Leo's control, the aircraft slowly floated on the top of a tree hundreds of meters high. After starting the automatic driving, Leo opened the entrance and exit next to the cab, walked out, stood on the small platform on the side of the aircraft outside, and looked at the scene in front.
The stone throne fragment was just a few dozen kilometers ahead, and it was the largest stone throne fragment he had ever seen. It was about 500 meters high, and had already surpassed the tallest tree in the forest by a large margin. Standing on the top of the tree with a wide view, the entire fragment looked like a hill and was extremely eye-catching.
Just as Leo thought, such a huge stone throne fragment naturally generated a lot of power, and the mutation caused by this power was much greater than that of the previous stone throne fragments.
Looking around, the forest with a diameter of about 100 kilometers was all distorted and mutated by the power generated by the stone throne fragment. Not only did the shapes of the trees change, but even their functions changed. From the branches that looked like vines but were actually tentacles hanging from the trees, it can be judged that the trees in this forest are all carnivorous.
These are just trees. The plants under those trees were also affected by the power and mutated, and became more dangerous as they mutated.
In addition to the mutation of plants, the animals and insects in this forest also inevitably mutated. The abilities they acquired after the mutation allowed them to survive in this cannibalistic forest, and also made them extremely ferocious.
For example, just now, when the spaceship was docked, a hideous-looking insect rushed out from the affected area. It seemed to have mistaken the aircraft for a large mutant insect. When it faced such a large mutant insect, it did not turn around and flee, but attacked the aircraft like crazy. This undoubtedly revealed its ferocity and let Leo know what he would encounter on the next journey.
