Banner of the Evil God

The deep sea water is transparent, like a huge crystal.

Well, this statement is not quite correct. First of all, the water here is not sea water but fresh water. Secondly, because there are too many bubbles and turbulence in the water, and most importantly, because of the lack of light, it is full of gloomy feeling, which is really not like crystal.

Sui Xiong sighed and silently announced that his efforts to adjust the atmosphere had failed.

After wandering in this dark deep water for almost half a month, even he felt bored. However, no matter how bored he was, he had to do his work, so he had to try to amuse himself.

Facts have proved that Brother Xiong is not good at stand-up comedy, no matter whether it is serious, lyrical or funny, he is not good at it.

He can't even make himself laugh.

"The Heart of Elements... Where can I find that thing?"

Sui Xiong muttered to himself, swimming slowly according to the map drawn in his mind.

While swimming, he maximized his detection ability and tried to search for any possible clues around him.

If you draw the map in his mind, you will find that his entire trajectory is a set of spiral lines, turning in circles, slowly expanding the detection range from the inside to the outside, leaving nothing behind, just like "drawing a map".

This is a stupid way, but a helpless choice.

The water element plane is full of chaotic waters, with no mountains or walls. The landmarks here are warm currents, cold currents, rapids, turbulent currents, huge whirlpools, bubbles, hot water, cold water, salt water, fresh water, poisonous water... If there is no definite target, even the most powerful gods can only turn around like him like a headless fly.

In fact, there are currently nine people who are spinning like a headless fly in the water element plane, in addition to him.

Ariel, the goddess of the sea, and the eight sea kings under her.

After years of preparation, Ariel has almost built her kingdom of God. But He wants to build the Kingdom of God into an integrated fortress for attack and defense, so He needs to add some powerful and unique facilities in the Kingdom of God. The most important of these is the "Water Element Cohesion Pool".

It is a special magic facility that can transform the power of magic into mysterious elemental activity, giving ordinary water vitality and transforming it into water elements; it can also promote the growth of ordinary water elements by consuming divine power and quickly grow into elite creatures; even if you are willing to consume more divine power, you can help those elderly water element elders break through the bottleneck, step into the legendary realm, and become elemental lords.

As for further entry into the demigod realm, it can only be left to fate. If there is really any definite way to cultivate demigods, the four elemental kings would have long been the strongest among the powerful divine powers, and how could they wait for Him, Ariel, to come up with a water element cohesion pool?

There was no water element condensation pool in the kingdom of the previous ocean goddess Furbokus. She built the entire kingdom into a fortress, and then used the daily accumulated divine power to either strengthen defense or to stir up storms - the female tyrant of the ocean, the storm lord, the master of the storm... several such titles are enough to explain the problem.

Ariel is not as absurd as Furbokus. She has obtained many legacies from Furbokus, including the lessons that Furbokus summarized when she reviewed her life before her death. For the next ocean god, Furbokus repeatedly warned him not to expand the priesthood and faith at will. If he must expand the scope of priesthood and faith, he suggested to win over the gods. On the one hand, he can have the most reliable allies, and on the other hand, he can greatly reduce the risk of being controlled by the backlash of the power of faith and avoid his previous experience.

In view of Furbokus's advice, Ariel put herself in the right position from the beginning. He positioned himself as "the god of mermaids, the mediator of all sea tribes, and the leader of the sea gods", and gave storms, waves, sea fog, and even various sea areas to the demigods and even legendary strongmen in the sea, promising that as long as they are willing to get along with other sea tribes according to the rules of overall peace, he will give them shelter and guidance, and help them mediate conflicts when necessary.

At first glance, this set of priesthood does not seem powerful, but the gods will never underestimate him. On the contrary, more than one powerful god has extended an olive branch to him, expressing his willingness to conclude a friendly and mutual assistance covenant with him, or at least to live in peace.

Although Ariel's godhood may be slower than that of Furbocus, his divinity will be extremely solid and condensed, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the situation of his divinity being polluted by faith. Not only that, as he becomes stronger, he will sooner or later gather a group of sea gods under his command to form a large-scale pantheon.

The shortcomings of such a pantheon are also obvious. The lack of high-end military power is its fatal flaw. After all, the strongest person in the entire pantheon is Ariel herself. Although Ariel's own combat power is limited, she has an absurdly strong "mentor". This mentor and his good buddies together may directly occupy two of the top three powerful gods - maybe even the champion and runner-up.

With the two strong backings of Faceless Void and the God of Justice, is high-end military power still a problem?

Even Ariel herself thought so. He positioned his kingdom of God as a mobile fortress that could retreat into a "sanctuary" at a critical moment. The core part of this fortress needs to be highly mobile, so that all believers can be moved in when necessary, and then those unimportant corners can be abandoned and run away at a speed that will make the enemy dumbfounded.

As for those unimportant corners, they will be transformed into countless water elements in one breath. As for how the enemy should deal with these thick-skinned and stubborn elemental creatures, that is the enemy's problem.

In order to achieve this goal, He not only needs to build a water element condensation pool, but also needs to build what may be the largest water element condensation pool in the world so far - after all, He wants to turn most of the kingdom of God into countless water elements at a critical moment...

There is another benefit to making the water element condensation pool larger. If the battle is not particularly fierce, the needs of the "cannon fodder" level can be met by creating water elements alone, and there is no need to send too many divine messengers.

It is true that divine messengers can be resurrected, but resurrecting divine messengers requires divine power. If you calculate carefully, it is definitely more cost-effective to use water elements as cannon fodder than to use God's messenger as cannon fodder.

This is Sui Xiong's suggestion. He tends to use elemental troops. For example, he used elemental mass-produced God's messenger cannon fodder legions in several major battles. What is the purpose? It's just to save money.

Thousands of God's messengers rushed forward, one after another, and died without hesitation. This looks very powerful, but the precious divine power is flowing away like water behind them!

In contrast, elemental troops can absorb elemental power to grow and revive. Although the single force is weaker than the God's messenger constructed by pure divine power, the quality is not enough, but the quantity is enough.

Facts have proved that his idea is still very useful.

That's why Ariel wants to build a huge water element condensation pool and build such a large number of cannon fodder legions for herself that makes the enemy's scalp numb.

Of course, this thing is not only used in wartime. It can be used to cultivate God's messenger in normal times, and it can also be used to create the weaker water elements to serve as handymen in the Kingdom of God.

As for the defect of low intelligence of elemental creatures, that is not a problem - believers can act as commanders, those with good brains are responsible for giving orders, and those with bad brains are responsible for execution, with division of labor and cooperation.

In general, Ariel's design is very good and can be used in both war and peace. The only problem is that it takes an astonishing amount of materials to build such a huge water element condensation pool.

Ordinary materials are fine, but the most troublesome thing is the heart of the element.

To be precise, it is the heart of the water element.

The origin of this thing is very simple - if a water element dies, then the heart of the water element may be produced in its corpse.

The problem is that, generally speaking, elemental creatures have no concept of "lifespan".

They will also grow, their size will continue to grow, and their strength will continue to grow. But in any case, they will not die of aging.

It is said that there was once an extremely powerful wizard who imprisoned the weak earth element and used a powerful magic circle to make it continue to age. After nearly a thousand years, the wizard himself was old and dying, and the earth element was still about the same as when he was captured.

If you want an elemental creature to die of old age, you must first give it a "lifespan". This means that it must break through its own limits - in other words, it must enter the legendary realm.

Unlike ordinary creatures, elemental creatures will have a "lifespan" after entering the legendary realm.

This has both advantages and disadvantages, but as long as there is a chance, almost no elemental creature will refuse to enter the legendary realm.

Admittedly, it will make them lose their almost eternal life, but even elemental creatures with relatively low intelligence know that in this world, it is not lifespan that determines how long a person can live, but strength.

Elemental creatures without strength die every day. And elemental lords who have entered the legendary realm may not die one in a year.

Not to mention, "becoming stronger" is the innate nature of all creatures, and no one is an exception!

Once an elemental creature enters the legendary realm, it can grow into an elemental lord. An elemental lord of the lowest level can live for about ten thousand years. If he is lucky enough to die of old age, he will leave behind an elemental heart.

... It takes about one hundred such elemental hearts to build the giant water element condensation pool designed by ** Li'er.

So, take your time looking.
