Chapter 266: Chapter 262: Violent Behemoth

Looking at the Wind God Winged Dragon with wings spread comparable to that of Nicholas, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, while Old Lady Fan immediately detected a different aura emitting from Delta.

“Did you feed Delta the Source of Life right now?”

Bai Qi nodded, saying, “Yes.”

Bai Qi informed Old Lady Fan about Xiang Li’s suggestion, which Old Lady Fan approved and said, “This is indeed a path towards enhancement. If they cannot stably evolve, they should instead strengthen their life force. Xiang Li indeed has not wasted his years.”

“But, can Delta choose its evolution direction on its own now?”

Bai Qi replied, “Currently, it can only choose among the ancient species, and

the number is limited.”

Bai Qi told Old Lady Fan about his previous attempts with ancient species, and in the middle of his explanation he couldn’t help but give Old Lady Fan and Nicholas a few more glances, with a particular thought suddenly coming into mind.

Earlier, he guessed that the reason Delta couldn’t retain the Raptor form could be because it did not extract the actual Gens. The alternative suggestion was that the time scale might not be long enough. But now, right in front of him were two legendary creatures that were robust and had a long history. If he didn’t try it out, it would always feel a bit regretful.

Perhaps she sensed Bai Qi’s thoughts as Old Lady Fan poked straight through his thoughts without any hesitation.

“While I am not sure the reason behind Delta’s ability to do such a thing, it s better not to try fusing legendary creature genes arbitrarily.”

Old Lady Fan said, “The legendary creatures are not simply at a higher double level, their essence of life fundamentally differs from yours. Even a single cell can be lethal to lower life forms like you.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized. Indeed, apart from the legendary creatures, the lifespan of other creatures is not long – those of legendary creatures often span thousands of years.

From his knowledge, the Federation’s guardian beasts were mostly left to protect humanity after their respective Beast Masters died.

But, it was a pity that they couldn’t turn into legendary creatures. Perhaps when Delta upgrades to King-level he could try it out?

While Bai Qi was pondering on the feasibility of this operation, the first skirmish between Delta and Husky already began.

Getting the boost from the Source of Life, not only did Delta’s body enlarge, but even its ability to control hurricanes also intensified. As its huge wings flapped, a massive hurricane that seemed as though it could destroy everything in its path charged directly towards Husky.

However, Schuck clearly had a plan. Etherium Liquid Gold swiftly rotated and instantly formed a Caisson-like structure which started to extract air from around the hurricane with great force.

In the blink of an eye, the formidable hurricane began to weaken, despite Delta’s attempts to maintain its strength.

“There’s a tactic like that?”

Although he had limited combat experience, Nicholas had some understanding of different abilities from his inherited memory as the Green Dragon. But seeing Schuck combating a hurricane in this way was truly beyond his comprehension.

“Hurricanes are just a natural phenomenon caused by air pressure differentials. So Schuck can eliminate the hurricane by reducing the air pressure difference around the hurricane. After all, compared to hurricanes in nature, there’s quite a gap,” Bai Qi explained just in time and Nicholas finally understood.

“Saying it that way, isn’t the power of your pet’s mechanical creature a bit too excessive, Bai Qi? I remember beasts of this level being quite weak, at least, they wouldn’t be able to interfere with elemental attacks, right?” Old Lady Fan asked as she looked at Husky, which obviously had too much kinetic energy.

“It’s most likely due to the integration of the Mechanical Spark. Both Husky s energy characteristics and computational power have been enhanced.” Upon hearing Bai Qi’s explanation, Old Lady Fan immediately understood. “Gaining the Mechanical Spark this early on, your beasts really aren’t simple ones.”

Old Lady Fan nodded slightly before refocusing on the fight. Realizing that Schuck was exploiting the hurricane, Delta instantly abandoned its plan to harass Husky with the hurricane and fluttered its wings lightly. Its massive body immediately rushed towards the Caisson- like structure with a devastating speed. As it advanced, the space around it even started to show signs of distortion.

With Delta’s elevation to the Four Stage, all its parameters significantly increased. Even though it hasn’t awakened yet, the space attribute contained in Delta’s Savage Charge was further reinforced.

Faced with Delta’s space attribute attack, Schuck very brazenly abandoned the Caisson-like structure. The Caisson, already rotating at a high speed, began operating at supersonic speed. Instead of extracting the air around it again, but it suddenly transformed, launching a series of invisible airstrikes at Delta.

Air Cannon!

Husky hadn’t released any of the air it sucked in earlier, but instead compressed it all to form this invisible air cannon. Its power was no less than that of any other energy cannon.

“Schuck, this guy, has really put a lot of thought into changing his combat style.”

Watching the versatile Schuck, Bai Qi couldn’t help but think of Schuck’s previous barrage of mindless Thunderflame Cannons.

Although the firepower wasn’t as exaggeratedly widespread as the Thunderflame Cannons, the diversity of mechanical constructs truly gave Schuck a straight boost in overall combat power.

Facing these super compressed high-density air masses, the Wind God Winged Dragon’s ability to control hurricanes had little effect. But Delta did not panic at all. His massive body suddenly shrank and turned directly into a Diamond Ape. He skillfully dodged the numerous air shells flying around, and in an instant, came to the air pump and clashed it from the side.

Boom!

The attack, carrying the force of Giant Strength and Space Fluctuations, directly crushed the air pump into pieces, causing a massive explosion. The shockwave fell on the golden shell of the Diamond Ape’s body, but failed to cause even the slightest of damage.

Moreover, after successfully neutralizing the threat of the air pump, Delta leapt forward, launching another attack towards the Husky.

However, Delta’s move was clearly within Husky’s expectations. While Delta was mid-air, Beta roared towards the sky. Amplified by the Mind Helmet, his Demonic Roar fiercely attacked Delta.

Because there was no Intimidation skill to counter it, Delta’s mid-air maneuver was noticeably affected. Although he landed safely, he failed to accurately hit the Husky.

During this brief amount of time, Schuck had already set up his turret again. One by one, black physical cannonballs landed around Delta without causing any explosion. However, the Diamond Ape that Delta had turned into seemed to be suppressed by some form of invisible force, causing him to suddenly fall to the ground.

Then, Schuck shook his entire body, and a swarm of self-exploding wolves rushed up, pounced on Delta, and triggered their explosion. Delta’s massive body was instantly engulfed in the fiery light.

“Gravity bomb?”

Bai Qi recognized the runes engraved on the shell of the cannons at a glance and was increasingly satisfied with Schuck’s performance.

A diversified fighting style was indeed the strength of the Mechanical Engineering Department. However, most mechs needed to be set up in advance, whereas Schuck had the ability to spontaneously alter his form based on the situation.

Choosing to exchange Etherium Liquid Gold for Schuck was indeed the right decision!

“Delta is about towin.”

At that instant, Old Lady Fan suddenly spoke, startling Bai Qi with her claim. Since the beginning of the battle, Schuck and Beta had been suppressing Delta, so Old Lady Fan’s statement that Delta was about to win was indeed a bit hard for Bai Qi to comprehend.

Creak creak.

(Delta’s aura is starting to change. If Schuck and Beta don’t have a way to counteract it, they might actually lose.)

Hearing Alpha also speak like this, Bai Qi finally believed that Old Lady Fan wasn’t joking around. Beta, who was Delta’s opponent, also seemed to sense something and promptly warned Schuck.

“Prepare the Thunder and Flame Electromagnetic Cannon, 50% power.” Schuck immediately changed his attack method upon seeing this. A disproportionately long Electromagnetic Cannon unfolded instantly, while at the end of the cannon, a bit of Thunder Flame Power was slowly being filled in. At the same time, Delta, who had been suppressed by the Gravity Bombs, seemed to have his ferocity, which wasn’t usually part of his character, ignited. He let out a fierce roar and the already massive body of the Diamond Ape expanded again. The body which had been slightly bent from the gravity suppression straightened up again.

Looking at the Gravity Bombs that were still pulling on him, Delta stomped on the ground multiple times. He flattened all the bombs and then used the strength of his legs to leap. The ground underneath him instantly cracked, and his colossal figure turned into a shadow that charged straight towards Husky. The self-exploding wolves that were biting at him were crushed into fragments by the sudden acceleration and air pressure.

However, at that very moment, Schuck Beta’s Electromagnetic Cannon had finished charging. A dense thunder flame energy, which had become almost physical, flew out of the cannon and headed straight towards Delta, while Husky was forced back several dozens of meters due to the enormous recoil.

Boom!

The Thunderflame Energy accurately hit Delta. The defense of the Diamond Ape’s body lasted only a moment before shattering. However, when it was about to touch Delta’s body, it was blocked by some invisible fluctuation.

“Is this… defense formed from Space Power?”

Delta’s ability to control space to create a defense showed that his control over space had significantly improved. No wonder Xiang Li recommended Source of Life so highly. Not just the basic data, but also the nature of life seems to have enhanced.

Though Delta managed to block the impact of the Thunderflame Energy, facing such highly compressed immense energy, he had to continually retreat. Seeing this, Beta took advantage of the situation and tried to disrupt Delta’s movements using Spirit Storm.

However, the present Delta’s mind was full of the frenzied consciousness of the Diamond Ape causing Beta’s Spirit Storm to not only fail in disturbing Delta but made him even more frenzied.

Roar!

Accompanying the roar, Delta used both his arms simultaneously to force the Thunderflame Energy into the air.

“Can he manipulate Space Power without using Dash, has Delta already used his awakening skill?”

Watching Delta, who seemed to have revived from the Ancient Violent Ape, an idea emerged in Bai Qi’s mind.
