Chapter 1425: Chapter 1143: Deep Behind Enemy Lines_3
But what if it was done in a different way?
Long Yi thought of an extreme approach. What if every metal crystal consisted of metal and energy?
In the past, Long Yi would never dare to consider such a thought. But now, he had a special solution.
Eternal.
This tetrahedron was defined by the Giants as Eternal, not because it was everlastingly solid, but because it could preserve its internal energy with almost no loss. So, what if there existed an extremely small Eternal, harboring energy within, and these Eternals were stacked together to become a metal material? Wouldn’t that create a more perfect form of Energy Alloy?
Of course, at this moment, Long Yi only had the beginnings of an idea, as there was simply no time or opportunity for him to conduct experiments.
Originally, Long Yi’s plan was just to find Elsa, without any thoughts of what to do afterward. After all, he was unfamiliar with life in the upper Plane, but fortunately, Elsa had her own plans.
Over several nights in a private room that no one knew about, the two had shared everything that had happened to them after they separated. Therefore, Long Yi had a complete grasp of the series of events that occurred in the upper Plane. In fact, what pleased him most was the reconciliation between Elsa and her father. When Long Yi had "picked up" Elsa in the Human Realm, she showed a highly contradictory state of mind. On one hand, she loathed her father, the Emperor of the Celestial Clan, but on the other, she seemed to have certain expectations of him. On this matter, Long Yi, uncharacteristically, did not influence Elsa but told her that she needed to return to the Heaven Realm and see with her own eyes why her father had acted as he did.
Because Long Yi was at least sure of one thing—at that time, Elsa’s father did not truly wish for her death, otherwise, Elsa would have never made it alive to the Human Realm.
Now, Elsa and her father had reconciled, the internal stability of the Heaven Realm had been secured, and they stood united against the invasion of The Forgotten Ones. The Forgotten, led by the Prophet, were now battling against the forces of Crystal Demon Empress Belle. After an initial phase of unfamiliarity, both sides gradually became accustomed to each other’s tactics, ensuring the battle would drag on for a long time.
Thus, Elsa planned to infiltrate The Forgotten Ones’ Home Star by disguise, attempting to solve the problem at its source.
However, in Long Yi’s opinion, the problem of The Forgotten Ones was essentially the problem of the Divine Worm. Without solving the issue of the Divine Worm, going anywhere would be useless. Elsa, of course, knew this, but her plans after that did not include the Divine Worm, for which she did not have any good solutions. Even though the God Eater Long Yi gave her was fatal to the Divine Worm, what could be done if the two Prophets refused to fight?
But since both of them were here now, it obviously wasn’t appropriate to leave immediately. Therefore, Long Yi decided to go along with Elsa’s plan and first figure out what exactly was going on.
"But, advancing in rank in a short period of time is probably not easy," Long Yi felt this was unreliable.
"It doesn’t matter, because not long ago, I just took control of our squad’s trainer, and he seems to be someone quite important," Elsa said.
The trainers who came to drill the new recruits were basically veterans, among whom were not a few officers. Elsa’s trainer turned out to be a noble! Unfortunately, he wasn’t very successful in his own right. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up training new recruits here. Just as Elsa had controlled Gulu, she used the same method to control her trainer. She had originally thought this would just make things easier, but it turned out to be a surprise windfall.
The trainer’s Family had initially supported the Prophet faction but switched to the Emperor’s side midway due to the obvious strength of the latter. However, because of their initial support for the Prophet faction, they were ostracized and now were desperate for ways to improve their standing and image in the Emperor’s eyes.
"Would a new type of Energy Alloy formula elevate his status?" Long Yi asked.
"Of course, it would!" Elsa said with conviction.
It was Elsa’s training break, and she sat there daydreaming. On the other hand, Long Yi, who should have been training, was also sitting there daydreaming, but no one bothered him.
"The reason why The Forgotten Ones’ race is so powerful is because of the invention of the Energy Alloy. However, since its invention thousands of years ago, there has been almost no change in the formula for this alloy. If someone could come up with a more advanced Energy Alloy at this time, I think they would definitely be noticed," Elsa said.
"Hehe, isn’t this the opportunity we’ve been waiting for?" Long Yi laughed.
Originally, the Worms had stolen the technology of the Giants and accidentally created the Energy Alloy. To this day, The Forgotten Ones’ scientists had only been refining the original formula without being able to make significant advancements. So, if someone could create a new Energy Alloy, they would certainly be highly valued!
Long Yi, of course, didn’t intend to freely hand over the new Energy Alloy structure he had just conceived. He was only thinking of making some minor improvements to the existing formula—of course, it would also involve setting some traps.
"However, first, we need to display our own strength," Elsa said.
"Don’t worry! The thing I lack the least is strength! Hahaha!" Long Yi was already eager to show off his prowess.
"No, no, no, this time, Brother Long, you be the smart one, and I’ll be the fighter," Elsa said with a smile.
"Huh?" Be the smart one? The kind that stands behind, watching others enjoy fighting while feeling anxious oneself?
Long Yi instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he thought it over, and since Elsa had never asked him for anything, couldn’t he fulfill this tiny wish of hers?
"Fine! I’ll do it! I’m smart!" Long Yi squeezed out the words through his teeth.
"Teeheehee!" Elsa smirked slyly, like a cat that’s just pulled off a prank.
Elsa’s plan was to make herself the strongest warrior. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote and support me. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
