Cataclysm King Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Level 4 [Natural Disaster·Red Dragon Golem]

 “The body communicates with the gods?”

  Ji Xun also heard this statement for the first time.

 It's not just him.

It should be said that few people in the entire federation know the extraordinary knowledge at the top of the pyramid.

"right."

Merlin's words were very rigorous: "However, this is just a guess. Although all fifty-two card masters can reach the gods. But how can it be so easy to become a god? Even in those ancient civilizations where the card master civilization is extremely glorious, There are very few records of the last few steps above the seventh level.”

Ji Xun looked like he was waiting for the next step.

The man in front of me is truly the top polymath in the world.

Merlin continued: "No matter which civilization the card masters inherit, there are many legends about ascending to the divine level. But no matter which legend, there are two similar theories."

After a pause, he continued: "Then there are two paths: 'materialistically becoming a god' and 'spiritually becoming a god'. In some legends, it is also called 'the body condenses the godhead' and 'the soul burns the divine fire'."

Ji Xun listened to his thoughts and suddenly said: "So the demon is taking the path of 'condensing the body into the divine head'?"

"right!"

Merlin nodded: "Before, I was not sure which of the two paths was correct. But after the old man Gong Wu successfully entered the demigod realm, he gave me an accurate direction. That is, these two paths are indispensable. !”

Ji Xun blinked: "Oh?"

If you can know the secrets of these super-levels, you can plan many career choices in advance.

 You will be more confident when you advance to advanced levels in the future.

Merlin continued: "The body is the anchor of the soul, and the soul is the rudder of the body. This sentence is the secret. In the past two thousand years, folk card masters have never understood why breaking through the seventh level, no matter how strong, will be distorted. Until Gong Wu Stepping into Demigod gave an accurate answer. That is, above the seventh level, one must have a strong enough soul consciousness, which is the 'divine power', in order to anchor the physical body without distortion."

As he spoke, he thought of something, and then said: "Of course, after this visit to the Shenxu Treasure House, I also confirmed that the Oran royal family has a 'shortcut' to advance to the seventh level. However, Old Man Gong feels that the upper limit of that shortcut is very low. . And your friend is Miss Qin. Before she went to the Old Continent, she also communicated with me to confirm my suspicion. "

Ji Xun also felt enlightened as he listened.

 But it seems that this topic is a bit too far for him.

 He asked doubtfully: "But Master Merlin, where is this [blood plague] on me?"

His situation is very special. The uncertainty brought about by the blood plague makes him dare not advance rashly.

Merlin smiled mysteriously: "That's why I said that your situation is more suitable for the Golem Card."

Ji Xun thought for a moment, guessed a little, and said: "You mean the blood plague can be an alienated form of the 'golem'?"

 In the laboratory, the light screens of various instruments glow with blue light.

Ji Xun is also connected to various circuit tubes.

"right."

Merlin took out a sample of Ji Xun's blood and shook it while saying, "Actually, I had this conjecture long ago when I studied the genetic sequences of living things. Living things can obtain new ones by transplanting limbs or genes from other living things. Ability. The essence of [Blood Plague] is actually a kind of genetic sequence tampering and contamination by higher organisms on lower organisms. Because it is too powerful, it takes over the main function, changes the backbone of human genes, and also carries the belief in the old gods. Pollution becomes a vampire.”

As he said that, the old man looked at Ji Xun and said: "And the essence of the [4 of Spades-Beast Walker] sequence you fused is also a bloodline transformation. The human gene is fused with a piece of Warcraft gene, so that the card master can obtain the ability to transform into a Warcraft. Ability. This is the most basic alienated form of the golem. But its essence is still a human being, not a werewolf."

Merlin then asked: "And, do you know why you were fused with werewolves and you were not contaminated?"

Ji Xun thought for a while and said, "Because I was physically strong enough at that time? The fit was high enough?"

“This is just an appearance. The real reason is the function of the professional card itself!”

Master Merlin would certainly not say such simple things.

He said a theory that made Ji Xun find everything new: "Speaking of this, I have to admire the greatness of the ancient demon **** who created the card master system. The body of ordinary humans is too weak, not even as good as any large animal in the wilderness. Beasts. They are weak, so they cannot withstand too much extraordinary power. As for the role of professional cards, in addition to integrating the extraordinary characteristics of various materials, there is also one of the most important purposes, which is 'protection'. You can understand professional cards as Virus vaccine. By emasculating some of the abilities of the virus that humans are currently unable to withstand, the human body can withstand those extraordinary properties. It becomes stronger bit by bit and increases tolerance, thereby gradually gaining stronger extraordinary abilities."

Hearing this explanation, Ji Xun immediately felt enlightened: "That's it!"

Master Merlin said: "Leave aside the pollution of faith, [Blood Plague] itself is a kind of extraordinary material. Like your werewolf material. It can be used for fusion. And if you are polluted, it can be understood as fusion without castration. The body can't bear the plague we've been through. But it's not a bad thing.”

Ji Xun: "Isn't it a bad thing?"

Merlin: "Have you not noticed that vampires are stronger than ordinary humans?"

Ji Xun: "It's true!"

 He thought of the vampire he met before.

Even if an ordinary Card Master apprentice is infected with the blood plague, his physical attributes will skyrocket.

He added: "So, you are not saying it is a bad thing, but you are saying that I will also become stronger due to pollution?"

 “From a scientific point of view, yes!”

Merlin agreed with this statement and explained: "The essence of distortion is that the human body cannot withstand the extraordinary characteristics of violent expansion, and the uncontrollable alienation of the body occurs. If it can withstand it, in other words, it is called 'advancement'. Although you are now infected by the blood plague, you have not mutated. The human body is very precise, and as long as it does not die, it will gradually adapt. In other words, from now on, as long as you can remain undistorted, sooner or later your The body will adapt to those blood plagues. It will just take a long time."

After a pause, he said: "And after you adapt, you will most likely master some of the vampire's abilities. It can even be understood that you are half a level higher than others."

Ji Xun then understood.

It turns out that I ignored the blood plague, will I adapt to it in the future?

Merlin continued to fiddle with the experimental equipment, and the topic returned to the Golem card, saying: "And the reason why I say that your situation is suitable for this [Scavenger Golem] is because this blood plague is very special. Even for you, It's a big opportunity.”

Ji Xun felt that his brain was not working well after hearing too much about professional knowledge.

Merlin seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the scarlet test tube and said meaningfully: "Because this [Blood Plague] is very special."

"special?"

Ji Xun heard that the tone of this word was a bit strong.

"Yes! I have studied tens of thousands of biological genes, and only this one can be described as 'special'."

Merlin's research in the past few days has produced certain results.

He did not shy away from Ji Xun and said directly: "The essence of [Blood Plague] is the gene of a certain high-level creature, that is, the old **** - Scarlet Corruption. In a sense, it is even better than what you gave me before." Blood of the Red Dragon] That kind of pure-blood dragon gene is even more perfect!”

"ah?"

Ji Xun was a little confused after hearing this.

 He was a little unbelievable, could this vampire be stronger than the dragon?

Master Merlin also saw his doubts and explained: "Genetically speaking, the dragon gene is the most perfect high-level biological gene I have ever seen. But the 'golem' needs not only strength, but also tolerance. .”

After pondering for a moment, he gave an example: "You can understand the principle of the 'Golem Card' as grafting. It's like grafting other branches to a tree to grow a variety of fruits. The Golem is grafting other creatures onto human genes. Genes allow humans to obtain the alienation of organs, abilities, and limbs.”

 Ji Xun immediately understood this easy-to-understand example.

Merlin added: "However, this kind of grafting at the genetic level does not just mean random grafting. It usually encounters a fatal problem, which is 'rejection'. This is also the so-called compatibility."

Ji Xun understands this.

 Even organ transplants are available between humans, let alone xenogeneic organisms.

Merlin seemed to be very excited about this discovery, and his eyes were bright: "And [Blood Plague] is the most inclusive higher biological gene I have ever seen, no one! It can integrate all the biological genes I have tested so far. Including Dragon!"

Ji Xun's pupils shrank suddenly.

 After hearing this, I already understood why Merlin said that being infected was his "big opportunity"!

Master Merlin said: "Normally speaking, for genetic grafting, most people can only graft some species of creatures that are highly compatible with their own demon marks. Just like [Werewolves], after that, it is basically the direction of canine alienation. Only with such a degree of compatibility can High, the probability of distortion is low. At least currently, federal card masters follow this rule. But your situation is quite special. The specialness of [JOKER] allows you to integrate the extraordinary characteristics of any sequence. You have grafted several types, and the differences Huge genetic types. Werewolves, dragonborn, high-level demons, vampires. If a normal card master advanced like this, he should have died suddenly in the blood conflict. But you are still alive and kicking."

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched inexplicably when he heard this, and he said faintly: "You don't seem to have told me about this hidden danger before?"

 He remembered that he had come to ask this master for advice three times before.

 But I have never heard of this theory once.

Merlin said calmly: "Didn't you die suddenly? Besides, the compatibility was tested before the fusion. It was only when it was very high that it was fused."

As they got acquainted, the old man also said in a joking tone: "And I'm also curious as to why you didn't die suddenly."

Ji Xun rolled his eyes as he listened.

Merlin smiled, changed the topic, and said: "I don't know what is going on with this [Blood Plague] or where it comes from. But currently, it seems that even if they are the same old gods, there are differences. I speculate that then Scarlet Corruption may also be a high-ranking god. His status is much higher than that of the Silver Moon Sect."

He looked at Ji Xun: "In other words, once your body has completely adapted to the blood plague, your genes will have this near-perfect tolerance. You will be able to withstand more and more powerful biological genes. So. , you may have to find a unique path as a card master."

 After talking to this point, Ji Xun was completely enlightened.

 But he saw a hint of enthusiasm that he had never seen before in the master's eyes.

 Enthusiasm for science.

This made Ji Xun feel unsure for the first time.

 He asked: "Master Merlin, I would like to take the liberty to ask. How sure are you of this theory?"

Merlin also said it bluntly: "Science requires rigor. You are the first experimental subject and there is no reference case. How can you be sure of it?"

Ji Xun heard a thump in his heart and his expression was very strange: Not sure?

Merlin looked at his resentful eyes and laughed: "Science requires dedication. But don't worry, kid, I have been researching in this direction for many years. Theoretically, your probability of successful fusion is at least 80%. "

Although Ji Xun's heart was already stable when he heard 80% of it.

 But he still asked one more question: "What about the remaining 20%?"

Merlin said unconcernedly: "It turned into a monster."

At this time, the instrument beeped, and he took out the refined [Natural Disaster Golem] and handed it to Ji Xun, saying: "Actually, I am really curious about what will happen if you become deformed. Continue to cultivate Your contaminated body may produce 'blood plague antibodies'. By then, the blood plague, a major hidden danger that can destroy civilization, can be completely solved."

Hearing this, Ji Xun had the illusion that he should have a righteous spirit of dedication to civilization.

 But it was clear that he felt that he did not have it now.

 It's good to be alive.

 I heard what Master Merlin said. Ji Xun also solved too many mysteries in his heart.

And he also has a more accurate plan for his future career advancement direction.

 At present, it seems that the road of "physically communicating with gods" can go on forever.

 But at the same time, he thought of another problem.

 The blood plague's taint comes from a broken spelled clay pot.

By coincidence, he also had two identical jars on him.

Furthermore, Master Merlin has proven through experiments that werewolf blood and vampires are highly compatible, and the two may even have some direct genetic relationship.

Ji Xun thought that his werewolf material came from "Greedy Mine".

 One of the two pottery pots with incantations on his body also came from that mine.

 Could it be that the clay pot in this mine sealed an old **** related to werewolves?

 So what's in the third jar?

 What is the relationship between these jars?

This jar involves an ancient **** that even the powerful Tarun Dynasty has no control over, and it is not something Ji Xun can consider now.

 He lowered his gaze back to the career card.

This is a professional card customized by Master Merlin, based on the golden-level material [Heart of Yuri the Red Dragon] previously obtained in "The Battle of Ironforge".

Red Dragon Yuri is a high-level dragon-born demon.

Ji Xun was worried before that the main material was too advanced to be integrated, but now with the blood plague, this problem was solved immediately.

 【Natural Disaster·Red Dragon Golem】

 Quality: golden

Detailed explanation: Path of Destruction spades 9 natural disaster sequence fourth-level career card; original template; fusion requires all attributes not less than 100; alienation tolerance not less than 40; after fusion, you will get the 'Red Dragon Golem', and get all the super-powerful flesh-types Attributes increase, and the natural disaster fire element and flesh and blood continue to grow; the dragonborn's abilities in all series are +3, and the pseudo-dragon power is +1; he obtains natural disaster-level fire element affinity and dark element affinity; he obtains the 'body of the natural disaster golem' and understands the law of natural disaster. +3;

Produced by Meilin, it must be a high-quality product.

 “Strong.”

Ji Xun looked at the finished card with a bright expression.

 This is another professional card that can be said to be the top level 4 card.

  The main dragon material determines that after this professional card is advanced, his physical body will skyrocket.

Moreover, the upper limit of level growth is far higher than that of ordinary materials.

 There are also many "Laws of Natural Disasters" and "Golem Body", which are very real new abilities.

 The former allows Ji Xun to understand the efficiency of various natural disaster laws by a large margin.

 The latter will transform later and may not be a werewolf.

 Thinking about it.

 A dragon-scaled vampire werewolf braving hellfire?

Master Merlin didn't know what it would become, and Ji Xun didn't know either.

 His career sequence has no target to refer to, so it is unique.

 After the professional card was refined, Ji Xun stayed in the laboratory and started preparing to advance to the fourth level.

Master Merlin was observing the whole process.

 Ji Xun already has enough advanced experience, and he started merging the cards after getting them.

There is no surprise.

Master Merlin's "80% probability" is still very conservative.

 In practice and theory, it is basically impossible to fail.

Ji Xun's physical strength allows him to support the huge transformation of extraordinary characteristics of the professional card, and JOKER's magic solution allows him to break through the bottleneck of the fourth level.

 A few days passed by in a blink of an eye.

Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.

Merlin looked at the data on the instrument and asked, "How do you feel?"

Ji Xun just opened his eyes, his eyes were shining: "Excellent."

 Have never felt so good.

 The process of advancement is very arduous.

 But after success, it is like looking at the scenery after climbing to the top. All the difficulties encountered before are already in front of you.

Ji Xun looked at the whole panel and let out a slight breath.

 Attributes such as strength and agility have skyrocketed from around 120+ to 160+;

 Because of the blood plague, his physical constitution has increased to 180+.

He has just advanced, and this single basic attribute is already comparable to many veteran fourth-level card masters.

 After advancing, your horizons have also been raised.

 Those rules, mysteries, and techniques that were incomprehensible before are now solved one by one.

 There are also “cursed spirits”!

 The curse seal of the third-level understanding is the pattern of the card master's understanding of the law;

 And the curse spirit is the pattern that embodies the law, and has its own spirituality.

This will increase the lethality of martial arts and spells.

 The forms of the spell spirits of the fourth-level card masters are all kinds of strange.

 Warcraft, disasters, and monsters are usually the forms brought about by merging certain main materials in professional cards.

As for card masters who have integrated high-quality imprints and can solve magic, their best understanding of the law is the fifty-two demon gods themselves.

 This is not just a change in appearance.

 After comprehending the curse spirit, the affinity of all elements has almost doubled.

 The most important thing is that he has entered the category of high-level card master.

 Elemental control, curse spirit suppression, and law understanding.

 The suppression capabilities of these three levels have been greatly improved!

“Is this the fourth level? It's so strong.”

Ji Xun finally got what he wanted and reached the threshold of a high-level card master.

He clenched his fists, and his muscles were swollen and knotted, like dragons swimming under his skin.

This feeling of controlling great power is great.

Just as he was thinking about it, Merlin came over again and skillfully inserted a needle into Ji Xun's arm. While drawing blood, he said: "From the data point of view, it is indeed good. Wait until you have completely digested the professional card." , [Blood Plague] should also be balanced. If it can transform into a demon, it will be even stronger."

As he spoke, even his vision did not forget to praise: "In your state, even if you have just advanced, it is hard for me to imagine that anyone within the fourth level can definitely beat you."

 “Master, you have given me the award. I am still far behind.”

Ji Xun smiled and said: "As I advance, I feel that my knowledge of too many things was too weak before, and there are more and more things I don't understand."

It's not just humility;

 It is also true.

 After advancing, my understanding of the laws has reached another level, and I have gained some new understanding of the fifty-two mysterious magic methods.

There is also a new understanding of Baquan, Qigong and various martial arts.

 He felt that various inspirations were popping up in his mind at this moment, and there were too many things to learn and comprehend.

"Um."

Hearing this, Merlin also smiled slightly.

As someone who has experienced it, of course he knows what this means, and said: "This is the cognitive gap. The stronger this feeling is, the more improvement you get through advancement. Your cognition suddenly rises, and you can see your previous realm. shortcomings."

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "As the old saying goes, when you realize that you are ignorant, that's when true wisdom awakens."

 “Thank you, senior, for your advice.”

Ji Xun nodded seriously after listening to these philosophical words.

Working with this knowledgeable and powerful legendary card master really gave him a lot of guidance and didn't make him take too many detours.

Merlin finished drawing blood, put it on the instrument, looked at various data, and said: "Your body is already very strong now. But just because the stronger you are, the more difficult it will be to advance in the future. After all, it is clear now , to enter the seventh level, you need to understand the 'divine power'. And the stronger the physical body, the more you need a strong enough will to anchor your physical body without distortion,"

"Um."

Ji Xun did not expect that as soon as he advanced to the fourth level, Merlin would mention the fifth level.

 But the earlier this kind of planning is done, the better.

 He knows the opponent's size and must be trying to guide him.

 He asked: "So. What is your suggestion?"

 The benefits of being protected by a big boss are now reflected.

Merlin said calmly: "That old man Gong Wu asked me for something before he went to the Old Continent. He wanted you to see my domain."

Ji Xun didn't quite understand: “Huh?”

Having seen it in Honglou before, the [Super Limit Cognition] field made him feel very uncomfortable.

 Just being affected by it will make your head explode.

He still dares to see it?

But then I thought about it, the old man Gong Wu shouldn't be so boring and let another legend teach him a lesson, right?

　　Obviously there is a deeper meaning.

Merlin didn't say it directly, instead he smiled mysteriously: "Are you also curious as to why the Totoro who brought you in has such high intelligence?"

Ji Xun's expression lit up and he took the initiative to guess: “Is this related to your field?”

Merlin nodded: "Yeah."

Hearing this, Ji Xun suddenly became excited.

 Since chinchillas can increase wisdom.

 So, Master Merlin's ability can also increase people's wisdom?
