Chapter 902: Chapter 66: Question First, Question Again, Finally Question Once More! (5400)
âSuper Massif Holy Mountain Magnetic Storm Coilâ. It sounds terrifying, but essentially, it utilizes the energy gathering system left by the Qing Steel Dragon and the petrified Holy Mountain as a base to gather energy, resonating with the surrounding Spirit Energy Field to create a super massif thunder strike.
To put it simply, where there is great power, even bricks can fly. With so much energy, even simple luminescence could radiate lasers. However, given the rainy weather in South Ridge, the Magnetostorm System proves more effective.
The biggest challenge of âhow to gather so much energyâ has already been solved by the Qing Steel Dragon. Now, what needs to be done is to persuade the Mountain People to accept some strange Thunder Tower being built on their Holy Mountain.
"This is a minor issue."
Elder Mantle said, "Whoever voices an opinion on this, just make sure they can no longer do so. Since you, Ian, want to carry out a thorough suppression, then start now."
Although it was Elder Mantle who initially hesitated, when it came time to act, he was decisiveâordinary Mountain People do not understand how strong Constructed Knights are, but he does. What time is it to still worry about whether new structures can be built on the Holy Mountain? This is prioritizing stubborn doctrines over life and death.
Such extreme conservatism deserves to be purged!
"Thereâs no need for that."
Ian, on the other hand, felt that Elder Mantle was slightly too impassioned by Terraâs traditional radicalism. He shook his head, "Silencing people is meaningless. Rather, first let them doubt, then demolish those doubts with ironclad facts. Only then will the memories become deeply ingrained."
"In summary, let them begin with doubt, continue doubting, and keep doubtingâuntil the thunder strikes and all doubts fade away, turning into reality."
"...If thatâs your thinking," Elder Mantle then fell silent for a while, nodding and said, "then letâs do it your way."
Preparations for Ianâs plan involving the âSuper Massif Holy Mountain Magnetic Storm Coilâ will take some time, and Elder Mantle has already gone to prepare the resources.
Meanwhile, Ian told the Chieftain and Priest to stay put while he went back to the camp and found Sio, who was observing his own body.
At this moment, Sio was seriously examining his body, which had now lost most of its deformitiesâthose abnormal bone spikes, hyperplasia tissues, and various twisted bone fragments had all faded away. Now Sioâs whole body had slimmed down, giving him somewhat the appearance of a bobblehead doll, only maintaining the âdragonâ body structure when augmented with a metal prosthetic.
Nevertheless, even though he hadnât completely recovered, Sio was very pleased with himself.
Moving without pain, experiencing the freedom and ease of moving in a dragon body was extremely satisfying to him.
[Mother might not be able to help]
He heard Ian and Elder Mantleâs conversation and somewhat embarrassingly stated: [The Ironwing Dragon King never planned to win, he just wanted to hold mother back...]
"I understand, not wanting to win means not losing; the Ironwing Dragon King is actually very clever. It has taken benefits from Fiery Flame Land, but also does not wish to truly become enemies with the Empire," Ian said.
How could Ian complain about the King of the Mountain? If it wasnât for him stopping the Dragon Group, South Ridge would have perished long ago. He waved his hand and said, "Ultimately, on one side of the Abassalom range is Fiery Flame Land, and on the other side, the Empire. He is only Fourth Power Level, not the greatest threat in this war."
[I can contribute in resisting Constructed Knights as well!]
Sio straightened slightly, the Spirit Energy Radiance faintly glowing in the eyes of the Red-haired Dragon Girl perched atop his true head: [However, Constructed Knights have âMechanized Mentalityâ and support intelligence, my Illusory Realm Fire is hard to effect... but even so, holding off a Constructed Knight shouldnât be a problem]
"Donât worry too much."
Understanding Sioâs eagernessâlike a lame person suddenly able to walk, or a blind person suddenly able to see, naturally very active and eager to prove himselfâIan didnât reject it outright but suggested another plan: "Since this time we are on defensive, we donât really need to engage in battle... When the time comes, Sio, you help with scouting the enemyâs direction of attack and see if you can hold the line."
[No problem!]
Sio nodded vigorously.
In fact, just like Adalbert, Ian was more interested in Sio himself than in his fighting capability.
However, unlike Adalbert who was interested in Sioâs spirit, Ian was more interested in his Bloodline.
Based on the memories left by the Qing Steel Dragon, it is a âThird Generation True Dragonâ, and the King of the Mountain, if not unexpectedly, should be a âFourth Generation True Dragonâ. The two are separated by a whole generation, and the King of the Mountain is the first generation with âreproductive capabilityâ.
Then Sio would be a âFifth Generation True Dragonâ.
As a True Dragon bred purely from True Dragons, Sio and the earlier generations of True Dragons are evidently quite different. In the memory of the Qing Steel Dragon, there were neither concepts of parents nor elders, even the second-generation True Dragon, who acted as a teacher, rather than being an elder, felt more like an agreeable friend who was just older and stronger. The interaction between them was very equal.
The question then arises â What was the form of the First Generation True Dragon?
Not naturally born, lacking parents or elders, the initial First Generation True Dragon... perhaps were directly created by their Creators?
"If we could find the remains or birthplace of the First Generation True Dragon, perhaps we could uncover the secrets behind the civilization of the True Dragons."
