Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 381 - 378: An Unbridgeable Chasm
“Retreat!!”
The terrifying shout erupted from Lin You’s mouth.
He couldn’t comprehend why a Tier Ten Demon would appear on this edge platform instead of the Central Island.
As soon as the words fell, his entire body shot back like an arrow, simultaneously recalling his species to the territory.
However.
He was still a step too late.
As the teleportation light sparkled, an overwhelmingly powerful black flame exploded with a boom in the crack, transforming into a fiery sea that swept toward all directions.
All species and demons around the crack instantly turned to ashes.
Among them, Shadowless, who was wandering by the crack, was directly annihilated on the spot!
“Damn it!”
Lin You’s face was as calm as water, but his heart trembled violently.
The boundless terrorizing pressure and the black fiery sea pushed him back, making the use of large resurrection artifacts impossible.
The other lords on the platform also reacted instantly, exclaiming in panic as they fled outward.
“Not good, it’s a Tier Ten Demon!”
At this moment, several Tier Ten Lords guarding the Central Island finally noticed the anomaly on this side, their expressions all changed.
Without a moment’s hesitation, they tore through space and appeared above Lin You’s platform, with expressions akin to facing a formidable enemy.
“Roar!!”
The earth-shattering roar echoed through the Holy Sanctuary, causing the entire sky to shake intensely.
Then.
The space rift shattered, and a gigantic Demon passed through the crack, appearing before everyone.
Lin You, having retreated to the platform’s edge and ready to teleport away, was stunned in place by the interface that popped up in front of him.
[Name: Abyss Demon·Ugier (Leader)]
[Race: Humanoid]
[Level: Tier Ten (SSS-level)]
[Power: 50000 (+50000)]
[Constitution: 47000 (+47000)]
[Agility: 45000 (+45000)]
[Spirit: 50000 (+50000)]
[Skills: Hellfire, Death Stare, Abyss Sacrifice, Abyss Monarch]
[Chaos: All attributes increased by 100%]
[Introduction: The master of death power, the Abyss Monarch possesses a destructive physical power and Abyss Magic.]
!!!
Staring at the attributes on the interface, Lin You’s heart surged with tumultuous waves.
After ascending to Tier Eight, he could actually see the attributes and detailed skills of Tier Ten Demons.
Just being leader level, it already boasts a whopping 50,000 points in basic attributes, ten times that of Tier Nine!
So this is what true Tier Ten strength is?
He always thought Tier Ten was merely a double of Tier Nine, but he never anticipated such an immense disparity.
It’s simply a giant chasm, impossible to cross.
No wonder.
No wonder those Tier Nine Lords desperately strive to ascend to Tier Ten.
He finally understands now.
Facing such terrifying existence and the sweeping black fire, there’s no room for hesitation; he teleports directly away from the Floating Islands.
Swish!
The scene shifts; he finally returns safely to his territory.
Upon returning to the territory, the first thing he does is open his personal space and rummage through it, finding a Holy Light Cross he had left behind.
“Fortunately, it’s still here.”
Lin You breathes a sigh of relief, glances at the attributes of the cross.
[Resurrection Cross: Using this artifact at the Territory Core can directly resurrect specified species, consuming a large amount of Magic Energy; a one-time-use artifact.]
Indeed.
This was a treasure he obtained when he first arrived at the Demon Plane, by surrounding and killing the Celestial Demon Incarnation.
Now, the Floating Islands have been enveloped by the black fire of the Tier Ten Demon; rushing there would be suicidal, let alone use the Angels of the Gods’ prayer for group resurrection.
Luckily, he still has this species resurrection artifact.
Otherwise, Shadowless would truly be irrecoverable.
Thinking this, Lin You takes the Resurrection Cross to the World Tree.
[Do you wish to use the “Resurrection Cross” to resurrect species?]
“Yes!”
[Please specify the species to be resurrected.]
“Shadowless.”
[Specification successful. This species is Tier Eight, requiring 25 million Magic Energy for resurrection. Confirm resurrection?]
Damn, it’s expensive!
Recruiting a Tier Eight species only costs 25,000, but resurrection requires 25 million.
This is too black-hearted.
But there’s no choice.
Shadowless is one of his strongest combat forces under his command; even if expensive, it must be resurrected.
Without further thought, he promptly replies: “Resurrect!”
As the words fell, a rich life aura emerged from the World Tree, swiftly converging in the air.
Finally, Shadowless, who had been struck down, appeared once again before Lin You, slowly descending from the sky.
Other members of the Royal Family saw this and gathered around, looking with joy and enthusiasm.
Lin You hastily opens Shadowless’s interface to check.
Fortunately, no attributes are missing, and experience has been retained.
The only loss is the Symbiotic Moss on Shadowless; it can’t be resurrected together.
But a mere three to four million Magic Energy is nothing; just recreate it.
With this in mind, Lin You recruits a Deceitful Willow while mutating and opens the Duchy channel to monitor the updates on the Holy Sanctuary.
“Man, that Tier Ten Demon was terrifying; good thing I ran fast.”
“It’s deadly; never thought it would emerge from the outer islands.”
“Exactly, I was just near that island, and escaped back in terror.”
“The Kings have already rushed over; I guess the battle is underway.”
“Sigh, let’s wait for updates before heading over.”
Battles between Tier Tens aren’t something their level can engage with.
Rushing over would only place oneself in danger.
Better to stay put in the territory and await news; after all, the demon turmoil will continue for several days; there’s no worry about missing out on resources.
Just like that.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that the news of the Tier Ten Demon being repelled finally came back.
Lin You, who was busy in the territory, immediately stood up and quickly teleported into the Holy Sanctuary.
As expected, just as the news reported, the shadow of the Tier Ten Demon was nowhere to be seen.
However, across the Floating Islands, a vast amount of damage appeared, some even shattered into pieces, turning into fragments drifting in the air.
It was evident how intense the battle had been just now.
“Quick, new rifts are opening again, hurry over and support!”
“Go, go, go, let’s get a good position first.”
“There are demons coming out over there again!”
After a brief survey of the surroundings.
The just-teleported lords quickly dispersed, summoning species to block the newly appeared spatial rifts, preventing a new wave of beasts.
On the previously devastated and desolate Floating Islands, things started to get lively again, with lords’ shouts and battle sounds everywhere.
This time Lin You was more experienced.
He didn’t go too close to the rifts but rather found a suitable corner to continue hunting the demons emerging from the rifts.
The appearance of the Tier Ten Demon had cost him nearly thirty million Magic Energy.
He needed to replenish it as soon as possible.
So he held nothing back, all species went full throttle, and any demon daring to rush towards him was killed.
The battle situation on the Floating Islands gradually stabilized as the lords kept arriving.
In a blink.
It was already noon the next day.
After more than a day’s accumulation, Lin You’s Magic Energy finally successfully broke through 400 million, reaching 420 million.
And as noon approached, the beastly roars sounded again from all the rifts.
“They’re coming, the Lord Demons are coming!”
Listening to the nearby shouts, Lin You’s face hardened, and his expression immediately became serious.
Yesterday, the Tier Ten Demon arrived shortly after the Lord Demons appeared.
Although he didn’t know if it would be the same today, he still used mental contact to call back the scattered plants, gradually moving away from the rift positions.
Other lords seemed to have the same thought.
None dared to linger by the rifts, gradually stretching the battle line to the platform edges, ready to teleport away at any time.
“Roar!!”
An earth-shattering roar arrived as expected.
All over the platform, space rifts began to produce a large number of Leader Level demons, and a small portion of Lord Level demons.
Especially on the Central Island.
Two Tier Nine Lord Demons suddenly rushed out from the rifts, colliding fiercely with the Tier Nine lords’ species.
As for Lin You’s position, seven or eight Tier Eight Lord Demons appeared, spreading out in all directions.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Lin You’s gaze was caught by a plant-type demon in the distance, with an expression of pleasant surprise.
It was a Fear Tree Demon, towering tens of meters high.
Amongst the entire demon crowd, it stood out like a crane among chickens, easily identifiably as a Lord Level demon.
And plant-type Lord Demons have a high probability of dropping plant-type treasures!
Delighted, Lin You immediately led the plant army towards the Fear Tree Demon, as an attribute interface popped up before him.
[Name: Fear Tree Demon (Lord)]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Eight (SSS-level)]
[Power: 4750 (+4750)]
[Constitution: 4900 (+4900)]
[Agility: 4420 (+4420)]
[Spirit: 4950 (+4950)]
[Skills: Thorn Shield, Group Entanglement, Fear Suppression]
[Chaos: All Attributes Increase by 100%]
[Introduction: A Tree Demon adept at Spiritual Attacks, with defensive capabilities that are unparalleled, a truly troublesome demon.]
As expected, it was a Lord Level demon.
Moreover, it possessed shield skills and Spiritual Attacks, the average lord would likely struggle against it.
However, Lin You was not afraid.
Because his Ivory Protective Pendant provided an 18% reduction in Spiritual Attacks, and with the enhancement from three Divine Fragments, there was nothing to worry about.
“Strange, why is that guy coming this way?”
Several Tier Eight lords in the Fear Tree Demon’s attack direction quickly noticed Lin You’s movements and exclaimed in surprise.
They had witnessed Lin You’s power firsthand.
He was absolutely terrifying.
Not someone they could afford to provoke.
So seeing Lin You approaching, they couldn’t help but feel tense, secretly on guard.
“Could he be targeting this Lord Demon?”
At this point, someone couldn’t help but whisper.
With these words, the others immediately understood.
“That must be it, his species are plant-type, he would definitely prioritize targeting plant-type Lord Demons.”
“So what do we do? Should we let him have this Lord Demon?”
“Why should we? It’s hard to come across a Lord Demon, we should at least fight for it, and he is just one person after all.”
“Right, let’s act before he gets here.”
“Agreed, let’s attack together!”
Amidst the shouts, the lords near the Fear Tree Demon suddenly rushed up, leading their species to surround and launch a fierce attack on the Fear Tree Demon.
All aiming to kill the Fear Tree Demon before Lin You arrived.
However.
They failed to notice.
That beside the Fear Tree Demon, a phantom holding a dagger had somehow appeared.
And within Lin You’s plant ranks, the deep barrel of a cannon was directly locked onto the Fear Tree Demon, with Dragon Flame energy rapidly accumulating.
“Boom!”
Sparks burst forth.
A fiery red streak shot through the air, rushing out fiercely.
The phantom behind the Fear Tree Demon also split into three, transforming into three cold glints rushing towards the Tree Demon!
