Chapter 1644: Chapter 1233: 5 Times?_2
"Beep beep beep!" The alarm sounded as several tentacles stretched out from the rift, continuing to reach for Long Yi. Long Yi instantly leapt out of the cockpit, refusing to back down, and threw a punch. It was a clash of Divine Power, and Long Yi was not about to lose!
At that moment, the Genesis Artifact in the distance was activated, emitting powerful energy fluctuations. The vast cosmic rift that stretched across the universe was forcibly sealed. The tentacles that were combating with Long Yi lost their source of Divine Power and vanished without a trace.
"Battlefield statistics!" Long Yi roared.
"Dragon Clan numbers have dropped below twenty million! And they are still decreasing, no fatal losses on our side!" This was a direct report from Simu.
"How long is the sealing time?"
"Ten days!"
"Only ten days?"
"At most ten days, maybe only eight," Simu said.
"Alright, brothers, they’ve got no reinforcements now. Form a surround immediately and concentrate our firepower to wipe them out!" Long Yi shouted.
With close to seventy million on our side against their twenty million, such vast numbers deploying attacks in the universe made it difficult to maintain balance. However, balance was not needed. Under the Observation Dragon’s arrangement, a portion of Dragon Knights concentrated their firepower to combat a small number of Dragon Beasts. After they eliminated the Dragon Beasts, they’d lead the liberated armies to consume more Dragon Beasts from one section.
That’s the role of battlefield command.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to win this battle relatively smoothly, but the next one may not be so certain," Long Yi said.
"Why?" asked the Future.
"Twenty minutes, twenty million Dragon Beasts. Do you think that the worm god, notorious for its intelligence and cunning, will send another twenty million Dragon Beasts to their deaths?" Long Yi said.
"No, I don’t think so. From the beginning, it only sent these twenty million Dragon Beasts. I think this is just a vanguard force it sent to test our strength," said the Future.
"The worm, from the Heavenly Kingdom, has mastered the technology of the Giants. We can see from the Dragon Beasts it has created just how intelligent it is. And after this battle, it will definitely learn from it and use these ten days to do something," Long Yi said.
"So, what can we do?"
"Analyze, strengthen, and then wait for the next battle to come."
Just a moment ago, when Long Yi burst out of the rift, the entire universe cheered with him. And when the rift between planes was finally closed, the entire universe boiled over. Eight days or ten days, this meant the universe was safe for at least another eight days. The battle wasn’t over yet, but taverns in every plane, every planet, every nation, and corner of the universe had already reopened their doors and started celebrating this victory.
Yes, that’s what intelligent life is, a heartless, brainless bunch of idiots.
Long Yi delved into the Great Explorer to begin his research on the Dragon Beasts. In fact, using the Genesis Artifact would have been more effective, but it was currently needed to maintain the plane’s stability, and Long Yi dared not mess with it recklessly. Therefore, Long Yi decisively utilized the Great Explorer instead. The Giant’s computation systems were not particularly advanced. Thankfully, the future’s supercomputers, when performing simple calculations, could almost be described as having a bug with their speed.
It swiftly organized the genetic traits of the Dragon Beasts and underwent a re-modelling process.
In simple terms, just as Long Yi had guessed, the Dragon Beasts were an amalgamation, blending the characteristics of all kinds of dragon species. And the Worm God had especially strengthened the defense mechanisms of the Dragon Beasts. According to the growth pattern of Dragon Beasts, Long Yi estimated that at least five dragons would be needed to birth one Dragon Beast. Could it be that the Worm God had indeed fused the Five-Color Pureblood Dragon Clan together?
What surprised Long Yi the most was that these Dragon Beasts had an astonishing resistance to various external infections. Long Yi tried concentrated biochemical weapons, only to discover that the creature was actually able to actively expel the diseased parts!
This damn bug, they really came prepared.
It seems that general biochemical weapons were definitely out of the question. In that case, one would have to start from this angle.
Enhancement and specialization.
That was Long Yi’s goal; the so-called enhancement and specialization meant making each dragon play to its strengths to the utmost.
In the past, Long Yi had done such things in the Human Realm as well, but that was a compromise made under the constraints of the rules of the Human Realm. Now, however, Long Yi could truly unleash his full potential.
Long Yi intended to thoroughly transform the Dragon Clan’s multi-purpose output platform into a single-task platform at the biological level.
Originally, when Simu created the Giant Dragons, she had to take balance into consideration. Her main goal was to create a powerful lifeform, not merely a simple biological weapon. But this time, balance did not need to be considered, the only thing to think about was how to make the Giant Dragons stronger and even more powerful. Long Yi planned to turn the Giant Dragons into superweapons clad in biological flesh.
Therefore, Long Yi decided on an extreme path.
The White Dragon has a long range, right? Then make its range even longer! Long Yi planned to reduce all other characteristics of the White Dragon, increase its mobility speed, enhance its lung capacity for holding more Dragon Breath, set permanent stabilization spells and Dragon Breath focusing spells on the White Dragon, and significantly boost its Dragon Breath recovery ability, but at the cost of decreasing its physical resilience to injuries. This significantly weakened the close-combat capabilities of the White Dragon, making it give up most other forms of attack and focus solely on long-range firepower. Long Yi’s only goal was to allow the White Dragon to unleash the maximum burst of damage in a short time before retreating to the back.
In contrast to the White Dragon, the Black Dragon naturally had high defense due to its bone armor coverage, and its most significant feature was the corrosion of the opposing Dragon Clan’s defense. Long Yi carefully analyzed the Black Dragon’s corrosion factor and, together with Simu, fundamentally enhanced the efficiency of the corrosion factor. Then, adjustments were made to the whole combat strategy of the Black Dragon, reducing its other magic abilities while enhancing its defense, ensuring that the Black Dragon would not fall even after several rounds of the enemy’s magic bombardment.
The Red Dragon was the main offensive force at the frontline of cosmic combat, and Long Yi thought about it a lot, eventually deciding to start with explosions. In the silent cosmos, pure Dragon Breath flames are hard to utilize effectively, hence Long Yi decided to directly use explosive methods—a blast of Dragon Breath wrapped in an energy wave, as long as it could hit the opponent’s relatively vulnerable spots, would surely be effective. Of course, there were many more details to handle, but there is no time now. A minimum of eight days meant Long Yi could not implement all of his plans one by one, so he had to start with the less numerous White Dragons.
In fact, Simu was very apprehensive about Long Yi’s plan. She was a Creator God, but not a God of War. In her view, was it really appropriate to transform the Giant Dragons into such a state with very pronounced weaknesses and strengths?
But Long Yi said, "As long as orders are strictly followed, there will be no issues."
So-called strict enforcement of orders means that no mistakes can be made. If possible, Long Yi would also have loved to simply overwhelm the enemy with numbers, but that was impossible. Although the enemy numbered only twenty million, each Dragon Beast had the strength of five dragons, and the forces on our side were only three times larger than the enemy’s. Perhaps with superior tactics and coordination, it might be possible to defeat them, but who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be problems when another twenty million Dragon Beasts come next time? Perhaps the enemy would be ten times stronger.
Therefore, Long Yi had to take a unique approach; he had to maximize output by systematic specialization. During the previous battles, the White Dragons had achieved excellent results, so it was necessary to leverage the White Dragon’s advantage, continuously enhancing its ability to stack damage. Of course, after this battle, the Worm God might also bolster its defenses against White Dragons, which is why Long Yi was also enhancing the Black Dragons at the same time. Nevertheless, eight days was truly not enough; Long Yi could only barely complete the upgrade of the White Dragons, with the Black Dragons only partially so.
