Invincible Chapter 485

Domes, to put it bluntly, are huge rock caves.

The dome that Kane is in now has an area of ​​more than 0.5 square kilometers, which is 750 acres. Each person is allocated an area of ​​10 square meters, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people.

In such a large area, there are plants, rivers, hills, and the highest point is over 100 meters high. It can be said that this is an underground jungle. of depression.

What does this mean?

It means that even if you live for a long time, your body and mind will not be affected by the level of disease.

Of course, there is still a lot to be desired here in order to be livable.

For example, the needs of light, ventilation, and safety. There are huge stalactites on the top of the dome. If it breaks, hundreds of tons of weight will fall down, and the fun below will be great.

Although this dome has many unique advantages, it is nothing to Kane. After all, even the Dark Pyramid can be said to have been created by him.

If it is to obtain a safe stronghold, the dark pyramid itself is a giant magic weapon, which is much better than a half-artificial, half-natural magic-modified dome.

What Kane likes here is that it is a natural place. For druids, it is easier to communicate with the world by building a sanctuary in such an area.

Under his command, the wizard and the Blood Banner Guards arranged the extraordinary materials one by one, and then he activated them himself.

As the temporary magic power sources shine one after another, colorful mist gradually rises in the already beautiful dome, creating a dreamy scene with a montage effect.

For ordinary people, such a view can lead to loss of soul and even loss of self.

And excessively strong magic power is like excessive electromagnetic radiation, or even deadly nuclear radiation. So it is now as dangerous as a mage's arcane garden.

But for Kane, this concentration of magic power is barely enough. The internal environment (magic rain and fog) similar to the diamond cocoon that hatched Cthulhu in the SC universe is suitable.

Next, what Kane is going to do is an ascension ceremony.

Due to the lack of magic power, this ceremony will take about 12 hours to achieve the effect he wants.

So Simon and others became law enforcement, mainly for anti-disturbance.

After confirming that there were no problems and hidden dangers in each link, Kane began to hold the ceremony.

In the specific operation process, the more special, amazing, or horrifying thing is that he directly tore off his left arm.

From the elbow position, the forearm was connected to the hand, and it was pulled off like that, like pulling a chicken wing, dripping with blood and flesh, with white tendons attached, and bones could be seen.

It was such a severed arm that he poked into the most dense soil of extraordinary materials in a rough way.

This is also the center of the dome, and the terrain is a small mound more than ten meters high.

The seed of flesh and blood was planted, and the ceremony officially started.

There is no need to dance the sacrificial dance, and there is no need to recite mantras or prayers repeatedly. For him who has the characteristics of a demigod, it is enough to concentrate and use the power of the soul to continuously guide the power of nature.

As a result, the colorful light of the dome was gradually replaced by the rising dark green color. It's like a huge magic steamer, boiling a pot of plague poison.

This is a ritual belonging to the dark druids. It is not original, but has a strong personal style.

It's not a ceremony in the sun, and the color isn't a new green.

Generally speaking, dark druids hold rituals at night, and it is the day of the full moon, or that kind of special night, such as the night of the blood moon that occurs every few decades.

Kane, on the other hand, is relatively darker.

Similarly, those witches (witches) who are hated by gods and ghosts like to play this way, but they can't separate the power of darkness from the power of evil, and the final result is to go on an evil path, so Their spells are secretive, vicious, and even called witchcraft.

Kane is different,

The same is the Dark Druid. The characteristics of his system are profound, majestic, chilling, majestic, lacking knowledge, and even unable to recognize its roots.

What's more interesting is that Kane also integrated his own farming system into it, so he has a unique dark refining technique, which can not only process gold and stone in an extraordinary way (the dark pyramid is the specific application), but also grow. (similar to bioengineering, genetic modification on the science side) for manufacturing.

But before that, the sacred tree must be planted.

The holy tree is related to multiple branches, one of which is the dark refinement, which is equivalent to a MCV base vehicle and is the basis for the expansion system.

Most druids' sacred trees, or totems of faith, choose oak trees.

Kane is not, what Kane chose is the seed of dark flesh, and the specific plant that is planted is determined by the final result of the ceremony.

The main reason for doing this is not to play with personality, but to interact with each other so that a higher degree of natural fit can be obtained.

As the ritual of ascension proceeded, the native plants in the dome changed dramatically.

Most of the plants died, and the cause of death was similar to 'tonic is poison', and the scientific side said it was gene collapse. The growth process was greatly accelerated, so that it could not withstand the drastic changes and was destroyed.

Only a few plants survived and embarked on the fast track of evolution.

And the fastest one is naturally the sacred tree that Kane is concerned about.

The arm melted away, and what was finally produced was a deformed plant.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the Socotra dragon's blood tree in the original world. The mushroom canopy canopy is impressive, and the umbrella-like branches are also more prominent.

If you look closely, you will find that it has some characteristics of fungal organisms. The leaves that make up the canopy are extremely compact and orderly, layered like scales.

Under the canopy and above the trunk, the luminous sporangia are arranged in an orderly manner, like a shade lamp, emitting a soft and bright light.

And the outer skin of its branches seems to be more delicate and smooth, like processed leather...

This plant can be understood as a hybrid deformed thing, but it can also be called a magical species. Its appearance is upright and straight, and it has a hint of divinity, so that people will not associate it with those twisted things that symbolize chaos and evil. Together.

After the ascension ceremony was completed, the spore tree had grown into a towering tree, and the trunk could barely be hugged by three people.

And the entire dome has also changed greatly. All plants have a tendency to become giant. Ordinary people are in it, as if they wake up from a sleep and have been shrunk several times, so that everything looks bigger.

Compared with these superficial features, the real change here is the change of energy operation.

The ascension ceremony not only added a sacred tree to the dome, but also turned the dome into a sanctuary.

And the sanctuary, from this angle, is like the heart of a region, it regulates and pumps the power of nature, gradually bringing the environment in the region under its control.

If necessary, the Earth Titan can even be awakened through the awakening ceremony.

Such a titan, in principle, is similar to the lava titan awakened by Kane?

And Kane, through the completion of the ceremony, harvested the 'Youmu worm shell' he wanted.

This is a set of armor made of holy trees, and its performance is better than the magic alloy made of pure gold and mithril, especially for druids.

Kane is not interested in wearing armor with fur and branches, making it look like "a misty rain Ren Pingsheng". He prefers the characteristics of metal plate armor. Just by looking at it, he knows that the defensive performance is not bad.

And the growth-shaped 'youmu worm shell' has both the protective power of plate armor and the energy conductivity of magic artifacts, as well as the natural characteristics of worm shells. It is unique and tailor-made.

They are sealed in sporangia with nine parts (head, chest, hips, shoulders, arms, and legs) and are lined with a flexible substance, just like a checked box.

This set of armor also doesn't have the usual clasps, they are connected with the body and each other by special energy, some are like the holy clothes of the saint warrior, but they are not so close-fitting, but have the effect of wearing like ordinary armor, and also Underwear such as armor is allowed.

This is specially designed by Kane. The gap between the armor and the flesh will be filled with energy as a buffer layer, adding an extra layer of protection, and there is no need to worry about the armor being loose and not enough to follow the body.

As for the lost left arm, it was really lost and turned into a sacred tree, which was also part of the ceremony, symbolizing his close connection with the world.

Of course, the loss of the left arm will not cause any inconvenience. The vine-like plants grow out of their own irregularities. The thick and hard ones form bones, and the thin and flexible ones turn into muscle fibers. Finally, the novice takes shape, just like The texture of the arm without the skin is basically the same as in the past.

Kane wrapped this arm with a mooncloth full of runes. This arm has been weaponized so far. The feeling is no worse than that of flesh and blood, but there is no pain.

Kane himself has never done this kind of limb mutilation and alienation. Although there are many advantages, there are also many disadvantages.

Kane Sun is different. In his character, he has the characteristics of being brave to try, and he is unwilling to be active only within the framework of the system given by the ontology. Heights never reached.

Seeing that Kane passed by overnight and lost an arm, Amanda was very obedient and didn't say anything or ask anything. She regards it as a "man's work field", work is work, life is life, and it is best to separate if they can be separated.

Kane also liked Amanda's understanding of things, and the team headed north again in the morning light.

As always, as soon as Kane's convoy left, various forces explored the temporary camp left by the convoy.

The main purpose of the investigation is to refine the spellcasting system of Kane and others through detailed understanding and research.

These people also discovered the passage that Kane ordered to dig, and they even went all the way underground through the traces of artificial transformation.

But no one succeeded in finding the sanctuary.

To discover the sanctuary, in addition to having a level of strength not inferior to Kane, one must also have a high enough natural affinity to detect the strangeness, and then to find it after a little bit of investigation.

What the scouts of various forces saw in the depths of the ground was a pitch-black abyss void of unknown depth. Whether it was a burning torch or a magical flame, they disappeared soon after falling into it.

There are more than ten black pits like this in the Ekara continent, and this is just another newly discovered one.

After receiving the report from the front line, the high-level leaders of various forces all marked the front-line scouts, but temporarily gave up the new order for in-depth exploration.

The relationship between Kane and Heiyuan may linger in their hearts for a long time, but they prefer to know Kane directly rather than solving more mysteries of the world. There are too many mysteries in the world, and if they choose this direction for their manpower application, it will really be a deep hole that cannot be filled.

Relatively speaking, since the interaction between the Holy Cult and Kane has been strengthened a lot, although the number of scouts stalking has decreased a lot, the intensity of observation has been strengthened.

Like this time, the new intelligence sent back by the scouts confirmed that the extraordinary resources Kane obtained through trading were almost squandered overnight.

Based on this information, the Holy Church realized that Kane must have completed some important operation.

But they failed to guess such things as the establishment of the Sanctuary, but believed that Kane was to deal with the vampires living in the Kiel Mountains.

An important reason for such speculation is that the Holy Church knows some secrets about vampires.

As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy.

Vampires are the great enemy of the Holy Cult. One of the reasons why the Holy Cult established its religion is to protect human beings from the wanton hunting of vampires.

In order to better fight against vampires, the investigation of its origin has always been a key direction of exploration.

During a certain in-depth exploration operation, the operation team of the Holy Church accidentally discovered some clues. Although the final result of the tracking was that the operation team was completely wiped out, some important information was passed back.

The core of this message is: vampires once gave birth to a god, and had some interaction with Sariel, whom the holy religion believed in.

Also since then, the Holy Cult's strategy against vampires has lost its determination to eradicate all evil.

Now, from the perspective of the higher levels of the Holy Cult, perhaps a strong man like Kane would strengthen his armaments on the edge of the opponent's sphere of influence only when faced with the malice that may come from the gods, right?
