Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 147 King of Storms
"The attack of the King of Behemoths?"

After receiving the reminder from the Sky City, Eric frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, the kings of giant beasts no longer have ordinary hunting needs, and even the flesh and blood of wild beasts cannot provide them with any nutrition.

If the King of Behemoths wants to continue growing, he needs the special energy that floats between heaven and earth. There is no reason for him to target their fleet.

Is he trying to hunt down Alan?

Eric quickly denied this conjecture. There was basically no hunting relationship between the kings of the beasts.

Only those giant beast kings who are about to reach the end of their lives will be targeted by other giant beasts or even the giant beast kings.

Wanting to devour their flesh and blood to grow.

But Alan is still obviously in his prime, with extremely strong vitality, and it is impossible for him to become the hunting target of other giant beast kings.

"How far is that giant beast king from us?"

In response to Eric's question, Sky City quickly responded, "It's still over 2,000 kilometers away in a straight line.

But the opponent should be the king of giant beasts with flying ability, moving towards your fleet at an average speed of 3.2 kilometers per second.

It is estimated that it will only take about thirteen minutes to reach your fleet's observation range."

Eric nodded: "That is to say, the King of Beasts and we did not meet by chance.

Does he have his own motives for targeting our fleet?"

"That's probably the case, so please be prepared for battle. We can provide you with fire support at any time."

After hearing the other party's answer, Eric continued to ask, "Do you have any other information about the king of the giant beasts?"

"The information we have at the moment is very limited, other than being able to confirm that the opponent's life energy level has reached the level of the King of Behemoths.

Judging only from the elemental structure around it, the king of the giant beasts is likely to have mastered the two elements of wind and thunder.

This also means that the fighting power of the giant beast king is definitely not low, so please be careful."

"Okay, thank you for your reminder, we will contact you later."

After putting away the magic crystal, Eric looked into the distance, which was the direction of the king of behemoths mentioned by the Sky City.

"Is the King of Behemoths about to attack?"

Nils, who had been beside Eric, witnessed the entire process of his communication with the Sky City and asked with a nervous look.

Although he once used his power to kill a transcendent who had embarked on the road to legend.

However, he still had enough awe in his heart for the strongest combat power under this kind of legend.

Or perhaps it was because of that experience that he truly realized how exaggerated the destructive power of a being of that level was.

Now the Kingdom of Behemoths is attacking them. If they don't make some preparations in advance, their fleet won't be able to withstand the aftermath of a fight with a being of this level.

“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.

Don't forget, we have two fighters who can fight head-on with the King of Beasts.

What's more, even if we are defeated, Sky City can always provide us with fire support."

Eric spoke to comfort the other party and said that there was really nothing to worry about.

Today, the fire support array of the Sky City has also undergone relevant upgrades.

If it is unleashed at full strength, there are probably not many extraordinary people below the legendary level who can withstand it.

Even individuals with extremely strong vitality like the King of Beasts have no ability to protect themselves in front of the Sky City.

In other words, this type of huge individuals will be restrained by the output mode of Sky City.

"What I'm curious about now is why the other side would target us.

How did it accurately lock onto our location from thousands of kilometers away?

Let alone a giant beast king, even a legendary transcendent wouldn't have such power under normal circumstances, right?"

"I have a guess about this."

Hawke, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

Originally, after completing the first cooperation between the two parties, Eric asked Hawk and other hunters to return to their headquarters.

Only Hawke, an old hunter who was over a hundred years old, stayed.

According to him, with Eric's help, the mission of their regional headquarters has been accomplished.

Before the new mission comes, he doesn't have to think about anything complicated and can do whatever he wants.

What he wanted to do most now was to follow the Glory Expeditionary Corps to conquer the giant beast tribes outside the three major safe zones.

Although he was not creating more living space for intelligent life, Hawke was already satisfied to be able to see the scenery that had never been seen inside the three major safe zones.

Eric did not refuse his request.

Anyway, bringing the other party along is not a burden at all, not to mention that Hawke is a true ninth-level fighter.

When Eric and Alan don't take action, he is one of the strongest fighters in the entire fleet and can also play a lot of value.

Besides, sooner or later everyone will be a family, so Eric has no intention of being on guard against the other party, so it is just a matter of convenience to take him along.

Hearing Hawke say this, Eric's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

"If the King of Behemoths wants to continue growing, he can only rely on the special energy that floats between heaven and earth.

And those special terrains are precisely because they can speed up the condensation of special energy, which is why they are fought over by the king of giant beasts.

Under normal circumstances, if those special terrains are not occupied by any giant beast kings, they will gradually emit a special force field to attract those giant beast kings.

Until a giant beast king occupies it, that special force field will gradually converge and will not be easily detected by other giant beast kings.

Before, Alan had always occupied a special terrain.

Since it had never left there, the special force field had never been leaked, and coupled with good luck, no king of the beasts had come to fight for it.

But after Lord Yi Yi condensed that special terrain into a round bead and it was swallowed by Alan.

Perhaps there has been some change in the relationship between the two parties.

Now the relationship between Alan and Yuanzhu is extremely close, and they have become one.

In this case, the special terrain represented by the beads may have returned to a state of being ownerless.

In other words, at this moment, Alan might be like a special piece of terrain, emitting that special force field at all times, attracting the king of beasts."

"What you said seems to make sense."

Eric nodded in approval.

Those special terrains will actively attract the king of beasts, which is obviously a certain rule of this world.

After Yi Yi condensed it into a round bead, he retained the original effect of the special terrain and even made the effect even better.

But after Alan swallowed the bead, its relationship with that special terrain changed from occupation to true integration.

The closer the relationship between the two sides became, the more likely it was that the rules had changed. It wasn't impossible that the special terrain had attracted the King of Beasts, but now it was Alan who attracted the King of Beasts.

"So, it's possible that the king of the giant beasts is coming for Alan."

Eric looked at Alan who was flying with the fleet.

The opponent was not some magical beast, did not possess any magic, and could not change its size.

Although a hundred-meter-long body is not considered large, it certainly cannot fit into a magic battleship.

Fortunately, Alan also has the ability to fly, otherwise it would be a big problem for them to act together.

"Then what should we do now?"

Nils on the side asked again.

"What are the results of your divination?"

Hearing Eric's question, Nils frowned, "When it comes to beings of your level, it's not going to be easy to get results.

I'm just an eighth-level fortune teller, not a master of fortune telling.

However, from the vague divination results, we can actually get some useful information.

The incoming giant beast king will definitely not be easily defeated."

"Is that so? It seems we really need to be more careful then.

Pass on my orders; the fleet will turn around and head westwards into the wilderness to minimize the impact of the battle."

At his full strength, together with Alan, he faced another king of giant beasts.

If neither side stops fighting, the aftermath of the battle will be able to raze the surrounding area of ​​dozens of kilometers to the ground.

Choosing the wilderness as the battle site can also minimize damage to the surrounding behemoth tribes.

Eric didn't know if this matter would be so serious, but he had already prepared for the worst.

After that, even if you want to request fire support from the Sky City, you can lock onto the enemy more easily in the wilderness.

Soon, the fleet arrived at the wilderness on the west side.

Eric and Alan left the fleet directly and waited for the arrival of the king of the beasts.

The fleet was somewhere dozens of kilometers away from Eric, constantly observing the direction of the king of the beasts, trying to confirm its arrival.

Soon, as the time predicted by the Sky City arrived, the fleet finally observed the other party's existence.

"That's the Storm King!"

In just a moment, Hawke confirmed the other party's identity.

"Storm King? This title sounds much more domineering than Alan's title of King of the Sea.

But it didn't seem to reveal its true appearance. How did you determine its identity?"

Nils, who was standing by, looked at the large, blurry storm on the observation screen and asked with some confusion.

"Because according to the records of our Hunter Association, the Storm King has always appeared before the world in this form.

No one knows its true race.

All we know is that every time the Storm King appears, it will cause extremely heavy losses to our civilization.

Countless intelligent lives will die in that unimaginable storm.

The idea of ​​three major security zones has no binding force on beings at this level.

Compared to those still understandable beast kings, the Storm King is like the embodiment of some kind of natural disaster.

The earliest record of the Storm King appeared thousands of years ago.

The Storm King, who appeared in the safe zone for the first time, had already demonstrated a powerful strength far beyond that of the ordinary behemoth kings.

Even the top hunters who are much stronger than me have no way to deal with the Storm King.

Fortunately, the Storm King does not appear very often. Since its first appearance, there have been a total of four related records.

That is to say, it will only appear in the three major safe zones every few hundred years.

Moreover, the Storm King did not seem to come specifically to destroy the safe zone, but rather seemed to be passing through it.

Those storms that devoured countless intelligent lives were just some of the passive effects caused by it passing by.

Compared to the great power it possesses, it is completely insignificant.

The entire Hunter Association unanimously agrees that the Storm King is the most powerful king of the beasts we know of.

It is even possible that he is the most powerful king of beasts in the entire world and the closest being to forbidden life.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Eric and Alan to deal with it."

Having said that, Hawke shook his head solemnly.

"Two beast kings at this level are no match for the Storm King?"

Nils was a little bit incredulous.

“There are also differences among the kings of the beasts.

According to the records of the Hunter Association, four top hunters who were able to confront the King of Beasts head-on once joined forces to prevent the Storm King from entering the safe zone.

The result was one death and one serious injury, but the Storm King only attacked once from beginning to end.

One top hunter was killed directly, and another top hunter was seriously injured and could never recover to his peak condition.

The other two top hunters were luckier and did not enter the Storm King's core attack range.

He was lucky enough to escape with only minor injuries.

After that, the Hunter's Guild never again attempted to confront the Storm King head-on.

It's just that every time the Storm King passes through the three major safe zones, we try to evacuate all intelligent life in its path to reduce casualties."

Hearing Hawke's words, Niels' eyes widened. "Is this the combat power of the King of the Beasts? The so-called forbidden life is only this much, right?"

"No, the Storm King is not the forbidden life form in the legend, at least not completely."

Hawke looked at the observation screen and said worriedly, "If the Storm King really regards Alan as his hunting target, then it will be really troublesome.

If Mr. Eric could continue in that explosive state, he might be able to compete with the Storm King, or at least he wouldn't be defeated so easily.

If Alan were alone, he wouldn't be a match for the Storm King."

Nils's expression also became very solemn.

If the Storm King is really as exaggerated as Hawke said, I'm afraid even the fire support from the Sky City will have no effect on it.

If the legendary fighter is forced to take action, it will violate the corresponding rules.

All the advantages they have accumulated before will be wiped out.
