Chapter 477: Natural Domain and Ether Valley

…

Inside the huge pit.

The pillar of flames that reached the sky went straight into the sky.

The bell tower that was originally towering into the sky seemed quite short and small in front of this pillar of fire.

The wind was raging in the sky.

But the strange thing was.

The fire was extremely solid and impartial. Whether it was the sky or the ground, the hot burning of the fire was only limited to the inside of the pillar of fire.

The surroundings of the pillar of fire were indeed extremely hot, enough to melt everything.

But the impact was much lighter in places farther away.

"It was the butterfly that was trying its best to control the fire..."

"He can even guide this level of ether explosion..."

Matthew walked in the flames calmly.

With the protection of Gordon's fire.

This terrifying flame could not hurt Matthew at all.

He was constantly sensing the fluctuations inside the metal cocoon, so he knew every move of the butterfly.

Although the two were separated inside and outside by the cocoon.

But through the resonance of the Phoenix Egg and the metal cocoon, a unique tacit understanding and rhythm were established.

They worked together to compress and raise the fire.

This formed the vision of the super torch rising into the sky in the City of Order!

Da Da Da!

The fire burned mercilessly.

The surrounding air was almost drained, but soon a large amount of airflow would fill it.

The resulting fierce wind blew the buildings in the city and made a loud noise. People who had just experienced a terrible natural disaster hid in the shelter and did not dare to come out. They could only listen to the whimpering of the wind silently.

Chaotic ether was carried in the wind.

They rushed to the torch one after another. Some of them were absorbed by the metal cocoon and the egg of the divine phoenix, and more of them became the nutrients for the burning of this super torch.

Gradually.

Thick layers of ashes accumulated at the bottom of the torch.

The ashes flickered with stars of fire, had the power of ultra-high temperature burning, and contained a mysterious and infinite breath.

Matthew sensed this.

He quickly sank to the bottom of the torch and picked up a piece of ashes at random.

Who knew that the ashes would melt into Matthew's fingers at the fastest speed as soon as they touched Matthew.

Then.

Matthew clearly felt that the Void Mark in his body became more stable!

The Void Power that couldn't help but spread everywhere before also became much more peaceful!

"This is..."

"Ashes Power?"

Matthew understood instantly.

The violent burning of a large amount of chaotic ether produced a large amount of spiritual ashes.

These ashes are enough to push a person into the corresponding field.

"Ashes Power is the power that the Void Lord Yukrus found in the material world that is closest to the Void Power in nature..."

Matthew suddenly thought:

"But this does not mean that the Ashes Power is exclusive to the Void."

"In fact."

"The Ashes Realm is the realm of the material world, and the Ashes Power is also the power of the material world. Similarity is not the same!"

"The Ashes Element I just absorbed seems to be able to curb the Void Bloodline!"

With this thought.

Matthew couldn't help but continue to try.

Since Yukrus had already taken the lead, Matthew did not dare to rashly enter the domain of the void master. If he had a deeper relationship with him, it would be troublesome.

He simply absorbed the ash elements in the flame.

Whoosh!

His fingertips gently swept the ashes at the bottom of the torch, and took a lot of ashes into his body like a vacuum cleaner.

Gradually.

A huge sense of satisfaction came to his heart.

A group of thick and full ash elements continued to fill the void.

The previous sense of emptiness caused by over-stimulating the void bloodline had long disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and steadiness!

"It seems that in addition to using the parasitic skull to devour living things, absorbing the power of ash is also a way to feed or even restrain the void bloodline!"

Matthew secretly marveled.

Although he did not deliberately explore the ash field.

But in the process of absorbing the ash elements, this field also unknowingly opened its door to Matthew.

Due to the tyranny of Yukrus.

Matthew just entered the door and rubbed it, then pulled out again.

Even so.

He also gained two abilities from the ash realm!

…

"Firemaking: No matter where you are, in what environment, as long as it is not in absolute void, you can create real, real flames with just a snap of your fingers!

Summon Ash Soldiers: You can summon up to 12 ash lives to work for you.

Note: Ash Soldiers have low combat effectiveness, so they can be directly disintegrated to replenish their own ash elements."

…

The ability to make fire is not as useless as it seems.

This means that Matthew can create flames with his bare hands in an environment without ether.

This may come in handy at some point.

As for summoning Ash Soldiers.

Well.

At least Matthew doesn't have to hunt living things anymore.

"The relationship between ash and void seems to be different from what I imagined."

"When I become a legend, I still have to explore this field carefully, maybe there will be new discoveries..."

Thinking so.

Matthew suddenly felt a strong call from the bottom of his heart.

A sincere smile appeared on his face -

It was the strong joy from the sublimation of the spiritual seed!

The next second.

He looked up.

But he saw that the shell of the divine phoenix egg had already melted!

Not far away.

The shell of the giant metal cocoon also melted part of the way, and the melted part turned into thick molten iron, which was poured directly on the phantom feathers inside the Divine Phoenix Egg.

In a blink of an eye.

A clear chirp came.

A huge fire lit up the entire sky.

Under the red light of the sky.

A tiny shadow suddenly spread its wings and took off from the place where the molten iron poured down!

Hoo ho ho!

The flying shadow flew straight up along the torch, and after circling the sky three times, it slowly descended and came to the bottom of the torch again.

Matthew took a closer look.

It was a bird about the same size as a black peacock, with a bare head, an ugly chicken-like appearance, and only the feathers on its tail were as bright as snow!

Is this a divine phoenix?

Matthew stretched out his hand curiously and touched the rough beak of the little red bird.

That moment.

An electric feeling spread throughout Matthew's body.

at the same time.

A straightforward thought echoed repeatedly in his mind:

"nerve."

"You are me, I am you, why are you so confused?"

Matthew smiled in relief.

Talk to yourself and your clone.

This feeling is the first time.

He could feel that every move of the little red bird was under the control of his mind.

And if you don't deliberately control it.

Then the little red bird will act according to the experience inherent in the blood with the support of the spiritual seed.

Matthew studied it for a while.

Then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

After all, the independence of the clone is a drama that only exists in novels.

This little red bird is like an extra hand for him. There is no need to worry about the hand having its own thoughts.

Ever since.

While Matthew was smoothing the little red bird's feathers, he checked the data column.

…

"Tip: Your spiritual seed has been successfully sublimated into a new clone "Yifeng"!

Alien Phoenix (infancy stage/myth template): A powerful life born after the eggs of the dead divine phoenix merged with mechanical alien species in the fire.

The life expectancy of the exotic phoenix can reach 3,000 years.

The juvenile Yiphoen possesses the following qualities or abilities——

1. Fire protection (different phoenixes are not afraid of flames and can replenish their physical strength and life in the flames)

2. Soul of Nature (as Yiphoen grows, it will automatically acquire the identity of the highest-ranking Soul of Nature in the local environment)

3. Destroy evil (the alien phoenix and its master can cause 300% damage to the life energy of the negative energy field, the undead field, and the frost field)

4. Ether Nemesis (Xifeng was born in the fire storm of chaotic ether, so it is immune to all negative effects brought by chaotic ether, and can use chaotic ether as food to strengthen itself)

5. Thunder (the different phoenix can be regarded as a throwing object. You can roll the different phoenix into a ball and throw it at the enemy. When it hits the enemy, the different phoenix will automatically explode, triggering thunder and a ring of fire, and it will take the opportunity to leave the target. )

6. Master of Constructs (The tail of the different phoenix is ​​contaminated with the breath of powerful constructed life, so for most constructs, the different phoenix can easily become their master and gain control over them)"

…

"It's a bit awesome..."

Matthew knew that his little red bird was definitely not a real divine phoenix.

But I didn't expect that the attributes in childhood were so domineering.

Just look at the panel properties.

Most true dragons cannot reach the level of Yifeng when they are born.

What's more, there are a series of traits and abilities below.

"But the first four are pretty serious. What happened to "Thunderfall"? "

Matthew glanced at the little red bird with a somewhat puzzled look.

"Would anyone really throw his clone out like a grenade?"

He found this inappropriate.

As for the last "Construction Master", it is even more powerful.

Although constructs are not a particularly mainstream race in Irondor, they are active in many places.

If Yi Feng could directly command these constructs.

Then he will become a nightmare for many constructors!

"The powerful constructed life contaminated by Yifeng's breath refers to the God of Truth controlled by the butterfly, right?"

Matthew thought so.

Just at this time.

There were also strong fluctuations in the giant metal cocoon——

The shell of the giant cocoon was originally loosened and melted during the birth of Yi Feng.

When the strange phoenix took off, it blew up a large amount of molten iron.

Part of the shell was assimilated by the molten iron and showed signs of denting and softening.

The next moment.

Each sharp outline bulges and protrudes from the inside out where the giant cocoon softens.

Immediately afterwards.

There was a dense sound of tearing.

The flames burned even more fiercely.

A large amount of molten iron rolled down, and almost all of the shell of the giant cocoon was melted. Not long after, a pair of giant wings shining with bright starlight appeared in front of Matthew!

The object that crawled out of the giant cocoon first moved its body and joints stiffly.

But only a few times.

A large amount of ether poured out from the inside of the object, and countless heart-stopping blue-black floating dots suddenly appeared on its metal surface——

That is a precursor to ether distortion!

A warning sign suddenly occurred in Matthew's heart.

But the next second.

All floating points quickly sank.

The creation slowly unfolded its body in the gradually extinguishing pillar of fire——

It was a huge mechanical butterfly with beautiful patterns!

Under Matthew's silent gaze.

The mechanical butterfly awkwardly stretched out its limbs and climbed up the bell tower bit by bit.

It didn't take long.

The giant butterfly climbed to the top of the bell tower.

Matthew looked up.

The nun was found standing on the edge of the top floor of the bell tower.

She was very close to the butterfly.

The next second.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the body of the butterfly, but at that moment, a gust of wind blew -

The butterfly then spreads its wings.

Hoo ho ho!

A strong wind rose.

Butterflies fly on the wind.

He fluttered several times high in the sky, and the textures on his giant wings lit up with starlight again.

Immediately afterwards.

The butterfly disappeared silently over the City of Order!

Wow!

The pillar of fire rising into the sky plummeted.

Matthew silently controlled the final flame.

Then he looked at the data column.

…

"Hint: You have witnessed the birth process of the super mechanical life "God of Truth" (LV24/Myth Template)!

The God of Truth has currently left Canning and flew into the depths of the star realm..."

…

"Butterfly……"

"Is this to prevent yourself from losing control?"

Matthew speculated in his mind.

Along with the departure of the God of Truth who absorbed the excess ether.

The material layer consolidated by the three great magicians has gradually stabilized.

Matthew could feel it.

The ether levels around us are dropping at a dramatic rate!

"really."

"When the material layer is stabilized, the phenomenon of ether influx will be greatly alleviated..."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second.

A large amount of information flashed in front of him.

Waves of heat also poured into his body from unknown places!

…

"Reminder: You successfully ended the chaotic storm in Canning City, and your practice of the legendary way has made "rapid progress"!

You've gained a lot of practice points!

Because of your actions such as banishing evildoers, hatching divine birds, and helping the God of Truth in the City of Order, you have earned the new title "Savior"!

Savior: All areas within your celebrity realm will be further strengthened.

Your ability "Snap Back" applies a random three of the following effects to enemies:

Confinement, shock, fear, dizziness, admiration, fascination, deception, incontinence...

Those who fail the save will suffer negative effects for at least 3 days! "

…

The ultimate rise in reputation was expected for Matthew.

After all, this time he really saved Canning City and saved the innocent lives of Irondor.

But what made him happier.

Still making progress on the path of legend!

After ending the chaotic storm in the City of Order, Matthew not only received a large number of practice points and the recognition of super high natural will, but also entered the "natural" realm as he wished!

nature.

It is one of the two highest ranking figures in Matthew's domain.

Now, by virtue of his role as the savior, he not only broke through the threshold of the field in one fell swoop, but also became the controller of the natural field!

Yes.

He directly skipped the two stages of exploration, entry and senior, and became the master of the main field.

This way.

Matthew successfully obtained five abilities from the natural realm and a gestating natural authority!

These five abilities are as follows.

…

"Oasis: In just a moment, you can create an oasis out of thin air in the desert, a forest on a barren plain, or an island in the vast ocean...

all in all.

You gain the powerful ability to create alternative environments or terrains within extreme climates, environments, or terrains.

This ability is a consumable ability and can be used a total of 10 times. "

"True Transfiguration: Through specific rituals, you can maintain three specific transformation objects.

After that.

You can directly use polymorph to transform into these objects and have all their panel data and specific abilities. "

"God-given halo: You can select up to 1,000 followers around you so that they can enjoy your God-given halo.

If the follower's level is below Legend, then the Heaven-given Aura will increase their level by +4 (attributes such as combat power and life will receive a substantial level correction);

If the follower’s level is above legendary, then the Heavenly Aura’s increase to them is level +1 (and an additional legendary resistance is gained).”

"Destined encounter: You have been summoned by the Rootless River. One day in the future, you will inevitably enter the Rootless River and get some opportunities.

This is a fateful encounter that cannot be erased or changed by anyone.

You don't need to chase.

The rootless river will find you at a certain time. "

"Rebirth of severed limbs: No matter how seriously injured you are or how severely damaged your body is, your body will recover as before after a day or night at most.

Note: "Natural accidents" may occur if a severed limb is regenerated many times. It is possible that two or even three corresponding organs will grow at the fractured site. Just cut off the excess."

…

After reading this.

Matthew can only say that it is worthy of the natural realm.

Every ability is amazingly powerful!

Let’s put aside the chance-type “destined encounter”.

"Rebirth of severed limbs" means that as long as Matthew has a breath, he will be immortal and can grow extra spare organs. This is much easier to use than the necromancer who is busy practicing cloning!

"God-given Halo" is a super enhancement in large-scale combat.

A total of 1,000 non-legendary units directly upgraded to one level?

This can no longer be described as a supermodel.

It’s simply cheating!

"True Transformation" is also one of the abilities that Matthew has always wanted. With it, Matthew can change in countless ways, break through the paradox of transformation, and complete many incredible operations.

As for the "oasis".

This is more like a capable ritual venue.

Matthew was able to possess a stronger ability to change the natural environment than the Archdruid.

The only regret is that it is the same as the great prophecy.

They are all consumables that are used once and less often.

"Natural authority is still being conceived, and I don't know when it will take shape..."

Matthew thought with excitement.

After the fall of the ancient god of nature, this field has been vacant for a long time. Druids are limited by their abilities and platforms, and few occupy high positions in the natural field.

Now that Matthew has broken in, he seems to have the tendency to become the master of the natural domain.

All of a sudden.

His heart was ready to move, and he had the urge to join the natural realm and become a legend!

But soon.

This impulse was restrained by him.

Matthew’s thinking is always clear——

The field is just its own tool.

As powerful as nature is, it is not exempt from vulgarity.

Even artifacts like Lost Paradise are just more powerful tools in Matthew's eyes.

“Never get too caught up in it.”

"Be above everything and master all fields..."

"This is my legendary way!"

Matthew composed himself.

The flames were completely extinguished.

After he swept away the ashes elements underneath, he originally wanted to find the divine mages outside the city, but those three had already quietly gone away.

"The disaster is over, but the chaos in the city may not calm down quickly."

Looking at the chaos in the city.

Matthew couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The whereabouts of the God of Truth is also a very important matter right now.

Consider the close relationship between the butterfly and the nun.

Matthew reached the top of the bell tower again.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for Matthew to speak.

The nun had already expressed similar thoughts to him:

"Now that the disaster is over, the elemental enforcers can barely maintain order in the city."

"But if Butterfly is absent for a long time, both the Ingram family and the Truth Sect will covet the position of the city lord. Then some harassment may break out, which will undoubtedly be an unreasonable disaster for ordinary people in the city."

"I can disguise myself as a butterfly and temporarily stabilize the situation, but I can't hold it for long."

"Mr. Matthew, can you find him for me?"

"I'm worried about him..."

Matthew was also concerned about the butterfly's whereabouts, so he nodded:

"I can go find him, but I can't tell where he is."

"I can only roughly judge that he went to the star realm."

"Does the City of Order or Butterfly himself have power in the star realm?"

The nun shook her head:

"The City of Order's influence on the outer planes is limited to the few secondary planes it controls."

"I've never heard Butterfly talk about having any territory in the star realm..."

Matthew understood.

It seems so.

The butterfly flew to the star realm simply to divert the trouble away.

After all, he has too much chaotic ether integrated into him.

It may transform into a monster similar to a giant god at any time, thus causing a terrible impact on the material world.

"I can't help you find the butterfly."

"But there is another gentleman here who may have a way to find the God of Truth."

"And he has wanted to see you for a long time..."

The nun bowed slightly.

With permission from Matthew.

She brought another guest from downstairs.

The man was short in stature, with skinny skin, and the clothes all over his body were hung with many metal accessories, which made a jingling sound when he walked, giving people a very funny feeling.

His hair was orange-red, and when he walked straight towards Matthew, his whole person was like a torch inserted into the ground and moving slowly.

There is no doubt about it.

This is a dwarf artificer.

"Cyber ​​dragon people?"

Matthew wasn't too surprised.

Butterfly's true identity is the legendary weapon master of Cyber ​​Dragon. During the rescue process, Matthew also saw the spacecraft from Cyber ​​Dragon.

It is reasonable for the other party to appear here.

at the same time.

Matthew noticed that the dwarf was accompanied by a small construct similar to a sweeping robot.

Different from other constructs.

The front of this small construct is actually equipped with a huge crystal plate.

Various emojis fly across the crystal board from time to time.

It gave Matthew a feeling of being in another world.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Matthew."

As soon as the dwarf met, he excitedly held Matthew's right hand and refused to let go:

"I'm Martin, the general manager of Cybertron's foreign affairs department!"

"Look, we have the same last name, we will definitely become very good friends!"

Matthew looked at each other in surprise:

"Are you a Sioux?"

Martin explained:

"Of course not."

"I just pretended to be Sioux and made a good joke using the similar pronunciation of our names."

"Don't you think it's funny?"

The words were not finished.

The dwarf himself burst into laughter.

Matthew forced a smile.

The dwarf was even more proud when he saw this.

He turned to the sweeping robot and said:

"Look, little mine!"

"I just said this joke will make people laugh!"

A mechanical female voice came from Xiao Di Lei’s body:

"To be fair."

"Martin, the humor level of your joke is roughly equivalent to reducing my current humor index by 50%."

Martin suddenly looked dissatisfied.

Matthew couldn't help but ask:

"What's your current humor level?"

Xiao Di Lei replied:

"0."

There were also a few helpless emojis floating on the crystal board above.

Matthew couldn't help but laugh.

Martin was obviously unhappy.

However, his personality seemed quite cheerful. He patted the crystal plate of the small mine and the matter was over.

"Today is a really good day for me."

"Why?"

"Because I got my wish to see you, Mr. Matthew, the savior of this generation!"

"I have heard your name and deeds from many people——"

"Ms. Margaret, Ms. Wilkins, and Mr. Butterfly..."

"I paid special attention to your performance in the battle to ascend to the gods. In the end, you actually gave up the opportunity to ascend to the gods and gave up on Lost Paradise before the Singularity Cannon arrived. This is simply a miracle among mortals..."

The dwarf held Matthew's hand and talked endlessly.

Matthew was able to maintain a polite smile at first.

Later I started to feel a little embarrassed.

Why does he feel that the head of Cyber ​​Dragon's foreign affairs department looks more like his fanatical...fan?

Considering that these artificers do nothing but tinker with things in the laboratory.

He also often observes the big and small news happening on the continent of Irondor.

It seems that it is not unacceptable to have fans in Cyber ​​Dragon.

present.

Matthew tried to change the subject:

"The word savior is too much. I just happened to do a little thing..."

Unexpectedly, the dwarf Martin clenched Matthew's hand very seriously:

"No!"

"This is not a trivial matter, this is a big event that is worth singing and crying!"

"Our world is dangerous, facing the danger of destruction at any moment. As part of the self-regulation of the will of the universe, each era will usher in a specific savior."

"Without a doubt."

"The savior of this generation is you!"

"But it's a pity..."

"Your status as a savior may not last long. After three months, or at most six months, you may be forced to lose that halo."

Speaking of which.

The dwarf sighed sadly and said:

"At that time, you must be careful and don't do anything showy, otherwise you may encounter an accident!"

This is actually quite ugly.

It was like cursing Matthew in person to cause trouble.

If it were anyone else, Matthew would definitely not look good on him, but when it came from the mouth of the dwarf Martin, he looked at him with a serious and sincere expression.

Matthew is really not easy to get angry.

So he could only ask matter-of-factly:

"Why?"

"Three months or half a year, is there any mystery in this?"

The dwarf said seriously:

"Of course."

"Originally, this world will usher in an era of mages, and the identity of the savior must be bound to the mages."

"But after the Canning City incident ended, the nature of the matter changed."

"According to Cyber ​​Dragon's deductions and observations, after you banish the giant god, the ether level of the entire Irondor will quickly decline..."

Matthew wondered:

"Isn't that a good thing?"

The dwarf blinked:

"The problem is the fall can be deeper than you think."

“According to the principle of the rise and fall of the ether tide, the trough is often after the crest.”

"As high as the ether wave peak created by the chaotic ether in Canning is, then in the next few years, the ether wave trough environment faced by Irondor will have the same level of depression..."

"I mean."

"In half a year at most, the entire Irondor will enter a period of ether depression."

"The group of mages will likely lose the favor of the plane's will to a great extent."

"You are no exception."

"The worse news is that your road to legend has not yet been completed. If you can enter the legend during this period, your road to legend will become even more difficult once you face a sluggish ether environment..."

…
