Chapter 2469: Shaping the Phoenix
“This…this is impossible!”
"Why would this happen! Why did you have to surprise us!"
"We...can't accept it!"
When the God of Xuji launched his final attack on the nearly paralyzed Death Battleship...
The phoenixes at the edge of the overlapping area suddenly became extremely shocked.
This was not because of the battle inside, after all, they could not see the battle situation inside. This was mainly because this group of phoenixes suddenly received a large amount of information.
This was a long, long time ago...
It's actually not a long time ago.
After Yiyin and Feizhu obtained the Phoenix through trade, it has been trying to study these creatures. It has no special purpose, but is simply curious about the creatures in the normal void.
However, these studies did not produce any results, perhaps because the Phoenix's condensation of nothingness is too mysterious.
After all, this is something that Phoenix itself has always found difficult to decipher.
Therefore, there is only one kind of creature...that truly understands the Phoenix's condensation of nothingness.
That is Midgard.
Because of an encounter, Yisheng traded the Phoenix to Midgard again... After that, the Phoenix stayed in this huge pipe.
Just like the strange sound, the Phoenix is also being studied continuously in the pipeline.
It’s just that the way of studying pipelines is much more "sophisticated" than that of abnormal noises, but it is not clear how much more sophisticated it is.
Because this history was recorded by a certain phoenix.
On the 'surface', this research is not complicated. It mainly involves feeding the phoenix various... foods.
Generally speaking, when a phoenix is born, it appears from a small mass of nothingness condensed from some piled-up dust.
The dust will then condense and form a phoenix cub.
This dust is also usually the 'breeding dust' that is sprinkled from adult phoenixes.
The condensation of nothingness in the body of the Phoenix cub will slowly grow. During the growth period, the cub needs to eat continuously. The substances they eat will move to the appropriate position in their body, mix with the substances in the body, and become part of the Phoenix's body.
There is usually only a very simple 'digestion' process, where the ingested material is ground into particles of roughly the same size.
Generally speaking, they are much larger than cells and are similar to gravel.
Then the size of the Phoenix will increase accordingly, and the condensation of nothingness will allow the matter in its body to maintain a certain shape, such as the shape of a phoenix or a chicken.
After growing to a certain extent, the condensation of nothingness will no longer grow, and the phoenix can be considered an adult.
After that it eats only to replenish the dust lost by its body, without the need for growth.
When a phoenix is injured, that is, when it loses a part of its body, it needs to eat quickly to replenish it.
But if the lost part cannot be replenished for a long time, death will occur.
This 'long term' is usually several days and nights of the ball.
Although it seems that the Phoenix is not picky about matter and can condense anything, it actually has limitations.
Just like the Phoenix on the stellar platform, most of them are made of the same material as dust-like organisms, so they only eat this type of material.
The things inside the phoenix's body can be roughly divided into two types, one of which is their own body.
Another type is the things they carry, such as weapons and props. They can use cohesion to stick to their bodies, but it will not interfere with their cohesion field, nor will it be "digested" as food.
Only substances that are determined by the Phoenix as 'food' and enter their bodies will be ground into small particles that make up the body.
If Phoenix digested various substances randomly, it might interfere with the cohesion field in their bodies and cause death.
To be precise, phoenixes can only digest matter that condensed when their initial young were formed.
They cannot be mixed with other substances.
Midgard... breaks away from this limitation.
After a period of research, it fed the phoenix different substances and slowly transformed the phoenix into a composition of different materials.
The Phoenix only lived in the pipe for a relatively short period of time, before the pipe went into the normal void... and approached a star.
Then, it placed these phoenixes on the stars to raise them.
The Phoenix made of new matter in Midgard can move directly on the surface of a star.
The main reason Midgard brought them here was to allow them to reproduce.
It seems that the reproduction of the Phoenix has a specific connection with certain stars.
Later, through further research, Midgard also came into contact with the memories of these phoenixes.
Finally, Midgard established a 'quarantine zone' within the star.
This is a similar independent space, but one can see the normal void around it... It puts the phoenixes inside and lets them live inside.
At the same time, it also made some adjustments to the memories of the Phoenix, causing some Phoenixes to believe that they were creatures born from this star.
And then...and then what did it do?
It seems like Pipeline has been taking advantage of Phoenix.
It creates many different species of phoenixes and uses more than one star as a breeding ground for phoenixes.
Many phoenixes are also working for Midgard.
Although Midgard has created a large number of phoenix species through adjustments, it has not discovered their gravitational capabilities.
In other words, the phoenixes it creates can hardly use the powerful gravitational force like the phoenix on the star platform here.
It is not entirely clear what is going on.
Because it... is the phoenix that records all of this, and it has been staying inside the pipe the entire time.
It has lived here for a long time and knows a lot about other of its kind.
It has no opinion on any of this.
At that time, it was similar to most Phoenixes, working wholeheartedly for the pipeline.
Until recently…
Because the entire pipeline was destroyed... During that time, the task of most Phoenixes was to manage individual creatures in small spaces.
For example, Ershimin or something like that.
But this phoenix, it has different creatures.
That is to conduct an experiment on it... to transform it into a completely new creature in an unprecedented way.
That was the 'Captain Phoenix' that Lin had met before.
This is indeed an unprecedented approach.
Because it is actually a mixture of the Phoenix's "Condensation of Nothingness" and a living captain-like creature.
In the past, Phoenixes were usually fed different substances to slowly change into another body structure.
This mix has never been tested.
However, the phoenix didn't think much about it and directly accepted... this experiment.
Of course, the experiment was successful in the end...or so it could be considered a success.
