Chapter 559: 442
How do these powers work exactly? Can this kind of power be used to make more portable bombs? There’s nothing like that in the Giant Tablet. It seems that the Giants were not particularly interested in this kind of thing.
In fact, if conditions allowed, what Long Yi really wanted to study was a hydrogen bomb, to blow these bastards to smithereens. Unfortunately, his current knowledge reservoir and magic skills did not meet those requirements.
Long Yi had the Giant power. Dandi had Hell power, and Long Yi also had the Power of Light, Demon Power, Long Yi had even more. But the only thing missing was the Black Dragon power, which Long Yi couldn’t find.
The reason was simple, in the past, there used to be some Black Dragons in the White Dragon Empire. But not long ago, they were all turned into White Dragons by Long Yi. Currently, in the entire White Dragon Empire, the only ones that could be considered Black Dragons were Bajie and Xiaoyou. Bajie was a hybrid of the Demon Abyss Dragon and the Black Dragon, while Xiaoyou was a Shadow Dragon, a member of the Black Dragon clan.
It seemed that they were the only ones available for testing, as it would be too difficult to grab a Black Dragon from the border.
Long Yi remembered in history, a guy invented dynamite, and the moment the dynamite was successful, the inventor almost got blown up. Long Yi had no intention of emulating this mathematician-averse guy, so he needed to make sure all necessary safety precautions were in place.
Long Yi got a pile of Crystal Cores from Ma Deburg. Now that there were so many Crystal Cores, Ma Deburg didn’t feel any pain when he saw Long Yi carrying a bag of them away.
Carrying the Crystal Cores, Long Yi went straight back to the barracks. In 1945, Dandi injected some of the Crystal Cores with Hell power for Long Yi, Bajie injected some cores with Dragon power, Xiaoyou also injected some with Dragon power, and then Long Yi went to the wilderness outside the Imperial City.
Lingling appeared and injected some of the Crystal Cores with Demon power. Long Yi also injected some cores with the Giant power, and some with the Power of Light.
Long Yi thought it was simple.
Just blow it up.
The Crystal Cores of different detonation strengths were divided into groups, and recorded on the Giant Tablet.
BANG!
A group of Crystal Cores were thrown out and detonated, the various powers entangled with each other in the air, but nothing happened.
"Hmm, the first group failed." Long Yi recorded it on the tablet.
The second group, detonation.
Still, nothing happened.
The third group, the fourth group, the fifth group... the sixteenth group!
Frustrating Failed! Failed! Still failed!
What the hell! Could my luck with transmigration have run out? Absolutely not, right?
Long Yi looked at the pile of Crystal Cores left, casually picked up two and threw them out from a distance.
BANG!
The brightness of the explosion gave Long Yi a fright!
Even though the power was not as anticipated, it was a genuine explosion!
Recalling carefully, it turned out that the explosion was triggered by the Crystal Cores of Hell power and the Power of Light alone!
This was not right, these two forces alone would not have worked in that situation at that time! Long Yi knew that the Demon power had a critical catalytic function.
Long Yi quickly chose two different Crystal Cores, one of Hell power and one of the Power of Light, then added a Demon power Crystal Core.
He threw it out!
Nothing happened again.
Damn?!
Are you messing with me?!
Long Yi scratched his head, then replaced the Demon power Core with a Giant power Core.
He threw it out!
BOOM—
An even fiercer explosion occurred! But, it still had not reached the initial effect. If it were merely for this level of explosion, Dragon Breath could easily achieve it. There was no need to waste time.
Could it be, the Giant power? That wasn’t right either. It was definitely not just the Giant power, Demon power must have played a vital role.
Long Yi squatted on the ground scratching his head, unable to figure out where the problem lies.
Could it be that the timing of the spell was wrong?
As evening set in, Long Yi was at a loss for ideas. He eventually decided to put all the Crystal Cores into a pouch and throw it away.
Bang!
The explosion created a massive flame which left a spot of light in Long Yi’s eyes.
Indeed, this was the effect that Long Yi had anticipated.
But it had absolutely no value for research!
The failures in the experiments throughout the afternoon severely affected his enthusiasm. After returning to the military camp, he decided to relieve his worries by practicing with Isrile.
Just as he approached Isrile’s residence, he saw three cohorts around her, cheering her on. Isrile was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Ruosha!
Isrile’s unarmed combat skills were all learned from Long Yi, while Ruosha’s combat skills came from the True Sea Dragon. If compared head-to-head, Isrile was evidently better. However, Ruosha had a brawny advantage over her.
Short.
Being two and half meters tall, Isrile was more than twice the size of Ruosha who was not even one and a half meters tall. This meant Isrile’s fists had a hard time reaching Ruosha, yet Ruosha could launch an attack on Isrile’s lower body.
What was even more important was that Ruosha’s brute strength greatly surpassed that of Isrile. Consequently, Isrile, despite her superior skills, was being suppressed by Ruosha.
Suddenly, Isrile waved her arm, firing spider silk that tightly bound Ruosha. Poor Ruosha was taken by surprise and was tied up like a dumpling. The spider silk was very resilient and could not be broken by mere brute force. Furious, Ruosha yelled at Isrile, "You scoundrel, Isrile, you’re playing dirty because you can’t beat me!"
Isrile laughed heartily and said, "Jokes aside, we agreed to only use instinctive combat, not Dragon Power. My spider silk is my instinctive weapon. You can only blame yourself for being careless! Now, be good and call me big sister!"
"Dream on, you petty creature! Let me go, I’ll break your face!" Ruosha kept yelling. However, Isrile just laughed. Upon seeing this, Ruosha let out a fierce scream, and the space suddenly vibrated. Ruosha, like a small cannonball, suddenly pounded into Isrile. Laughing merrily, Isrile was completely unprepared, and with one headbutt to the stomach by Ruosha, both of them tumbled into a mess. When Isrile’s three cohorts tried to step in, Ruosha caused another wave of spatial disturbance, knocking all five of them together.
Long Yi watched from afar and helplessly covered his face.
I shouldn’t have come to look for them. They are so unreliable.
At this time, in the Heaven Realm.
Every member of the Celestial Clan knew that the strength of the Celestial Clan not only came from their own power but also from unity and stability. However, in recent times, an undercurrent had been stirring within the Celestial Clan.
Under the leadership of Princess Elsa, the Celestial Clan had driven the Ghost Spirits into an extremely narrow space. The Boundary Monument set by the Giants had restricted the movement of each Ghost Spirit, making the land in Heaven Realm unprecedentedly vast.
A long time ago, the Celestial Emperor had issued an order: whoever could reclaim land from the Ghost Spirits would have that reclaimed land as their territory.
At the time, countless people fought for the heaven-sent land, but, in the end, the advancement of the Boundary Monument was pitifully small. Nobody dared to claim the minuscule land with embarrassment. But it’s different now! With Elsa’s power, the Heaven Realm has reclaimed a vast amount of land, and according to the rules, all the land that the Boundary Monument has traversed should belong to Elsa!
Although Elsa had never brought up this matter, the calls for her to accept the reclaimed land were high within the imperial court and the people. After all, such an indifferent princess accepting a large piece of essentially useless land wasn’t all that remarkable.
But, not everyone agrees with this.
The First Prince.
Sajia.
As the First Prince and the Emperor’s most trusted person, Sajia had been ruling a planet for five years. This was the Emperor’s test for Sajia, indicating that the Emperor was assessing whether he was qualified to succeed the throne.
The facts proved that Sajia had excellent political and diplomatic abilities. The planet was a vassal of the Celestial Clan, and it had neither special products nor any interesting culture, let alone powerful warriors. Such a mundane planet was naturally ignored in this universe. The Emperor sent Sajia there to see what extent the Celestial Clan’s First Prince could reach.
Sajia’s performance could be described as splendid. Instead of rushing to develop any resources, he raised the living standards of the planet as much as possible through the Celestial Clan’s influence. As the First Prince, Sajia understood one thing: Only when people are well-fed and clothed would they have the mood to explore their world.
In the fourth year, a remarkable singer suddenly emerged on the planet. He was an old man, and his singing could heal injuries, enhance morale, and confuse enemies. The old man used to be a poor farmer, worrying daily over his barren farm, little knowing that he was so talented. It was Sajia’s policy that allowed the old farmer to live a stable life, and he discovered that the tune he hummed unconsciously contained a kind of magical rule. And this tune could only remain effective if sung by people from his planet.
Sajia named the sound of the old man’s singing "War Song" and encouraged everyone on the planet to learn it. Within a year, the War Song Master became the newest and hottest profession in the multi-universe. In a multi-universe that is never short of wars, a War Song can stack advantages for allies without any side effects, and makes the enemy fall into chaos, so there’s no fool who wouldn’t want a War Song Master.
Hearing this, one might think that Sajia was just lucky. However, if it weren’t for Sajia’s previous policies, all of this would not have happened so quickly, at least. This should definitely be credited to Sajia.
Both Sajia and his aides thought so. Sajia originally thought he would be welcomed with a grand ceremony. However, when he returned, all the discussion among the people was not about his return as the First Prince, but about the great accomplishment of Princess Elsa in recovering lost territory!
As for Elsa, even though Sajia was on a remote planet, he had a confrontation with Elsa once.
The aide whom Sajia sent to probe Elsa’s intentions was beheaded by Elsa on the spot. According to witnesses, Elsa and her aide didn’t exchange more than five sentences before Elsa struck him down. What enraged Sajia most was that after the killing, the incident didn’t spark any controversy. Even the family of the aide gave up pursuing the matter under Selena’s threats and temptations.
Could it be that Elsa and Selena have formed an alliance? (To be continued. If you like this book, please go to qidian.com to vote and support. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com for reading.)
