Full-time Creation Master

"Everyone, begin absorbing the excess water and release the Slime King!"

Nan Yu's voice was clear and powerful, carrying the penetrating power of sound magic, instantly spreading throughout the entire coastal defense line without the slightest delay.

She was originally a mage specializing in sound, and with her talent and the help of an absolute quantity and quality of rare and precious materials, she has now reached the cultivation level of Super Rank 3.

He also became the disciple of a newly emerged, extremely powerful sonic forbidden spell user, whose strength was unfathomable.

They act with swiftness and decisiveness.

His silver-gray legion uniform billowed in the sea breeze, his posture was upright, and his eyes and brows were full of heroic spirit, showing the demeanor of a legion commander.

At this moment, the Star-Slaying Legion, as the top combat force of the Southern Army of Great Xia, shoulders an extremely crucial responsibility—to deal with the "last" link of the waves, and also to act as an emergency defense line against unforeseen circumstances.

In response to the massive accumulation of water and chaotic water magic brought by the aftershocks of those towering, endless waves,

They are responsible for mitigating its impact, completely neutralizing the power of the waves, and resisting the residual impact.

We must actively absorb excess water; otherwise, the large accumulation of seawater will be detrimental to the defense line and the mainland, and will not pose any threat to the coastline.

The core force that accomplished this task was the 100,000 Water Slime Kings that were urgently transferred from the major waterworks and Water Slime breeding farms of the Great Xia Dynasty.

That's right, it's the Water Slime King!

However, the Water Slime King here is not the supreme ruler of the entire Water Slime race.

Instead, it is the "King of the Kids" born from the same batch of water slimes cultivated in the water slime breeding factory.

More precisely, they are the "little kings" and "pseudo-kings" who stand out from the juvenile water slimes specially selected by the breeding farm, possessing innate leadership qualities and a kingly aura.

Once the quantity increases, it no longer counts as cherishing!

Although not top-tier combat power, it possesses an extremely strong ability to absorb and store water elements.

Using them to absorb the massive amounts of seawater near the coastline that cannot be completely dissipated in a short time is a win-win situation.

Firstly, it can quickly relieve the pressure on the defense line and prevent the aftershocks from continuing to wash over the coast and causing potential hazards;

Secondly, they can seize this "golden opportunity" to devour the ocean empire's seawater and water-based magic, and fleece the ocean monsters.

You know, it's like air; it's usually worthless and everywhere you look.

But if it were the third child next door who wanted to steal some of this "worthless" air from your house and keep it for himself, would you be willing to give it to him?

This is true of seawater and water-based magic.

Even in the ocean, where the seawater is endless,

Water-based magical energy is also inexhaustible.

However, the various sea monster empires absolutely forbid humans from directly building water treatment plants at sea.

Furthermore, humans are not allowed to indiscriminately draw upon the water-based magical energy of the ocean.

Taking advantage of the calming of the waves to absorb water-based magical energy is undoubtedly a blatant act of "profiting" in front of the Ocean Empire.

Splash~~~~

As soon as Nan Yu gave the order, 100,000 Water Slime Kings exerted their power simultaneously without the slightest hesitation.

Behind the hundred-foot ice wall, in an area 20 to 30 kilometers from the coastline—the pre-demarcated seawater absorption zone—a hundred thousand densely packed whirlpools suddenly appeared.

These vortexes vary in size.

Their diameters range from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, resembling giant funnels, spinning wildly.

The roaring sound of the surging water echoed throughout the entire sea.

Almost visible to the naked eye, countless turbid seawater droplets, carrying water-based magical energy with a pale blue halo and whose veins were almost discernible, were being frantically sucked into these whirlpools.

All of it poured into the Water Slime King's bouncy, crystal-clear body.

Those Water Slime Kings, except for their infancy in the Water Factory,

I have never "eaten" so much, and I have never absorbed such rich water magic energy.

They were all trembling with excitement, their bodies swelling continuously.

Its originally small size grew larger at a visible rate.

It frantically devoured the "free" seawater and water-based magical energy, as if it wanted to absorb all the water and magical energy of this sea area into its body.

The speed was astonishing, occurring in less than ten minutes after the vortex appeared.

All the Water Slime Kings, who were originally in their "infancy" stage, broke through their limitations and rose from the initial Warrior level.

They soared all the way up, advancing to the level of commander-level demons!

A series of oppressive auras emanating from commander-level demons spread out, intertwining above the absorption zone.

Although not particularly fierce, it still exudes an undeniable aura, densely packed and awe-inspiring.

The soldiers of the Star Slayer Legion were already on high alert, their eyes fixed on the changes in each Water Slime King.

Their task: If the Water Slime King was originally at the Warrior level, they should choose to advance normally to the Commander level Water Slime King.

Then the Star-Slaying Legion soldiers responsible for guarding them will not make any moves, allowing them to complete their advancement.

However, if a Warrior-level Water Slime King chooses to take an unconventional path during its advancement and undergoes mutation and evolution, it may become another type of elemental demon—such as Crystal Slime, Torrent Slime, Ink Corrosion Slime, Mist-Hidden Illusion Slime, Ice Crystal Water Slime, or even Poisonous Water Evil Slime.

However, if a Warrior-level Water Slime King chooses to take an unconventional path during its advancement and undergoes mutation and evolution, it may become another type of elemental demon—such as Crystal Slime, Torrent Slime, Ink Corrosion Slime, Mist-Hidden Illusion Slime, Ice Crystal Water Slime, or even Poisonous Water Evil Slime.

Therefore, there are clear rules for subsequent handling:

If the evolved Water Slime King can obediently enter the Beast Taming Ring or Beast Control Ring carried by the Star Slayer and accept its control,

That's easy to say.

Their lives can be spared, and they can continue to be used by the Great Xia.

But if there is even the slightest thought of "rebellion," or the slightest sign of breaking free from control and causing chaos,

They will surely be brutally killed by the elite of the Star-Slaying Legion, without any leniency!

Of course, if the advancement fails, collecting the corpse and reusing it is also one of the tasks.

The soldiers of the Star Slayer Legion are all battle-hardened elites, and are by no means merciful.

We have both the confidence and the iron-fisted methods to control these demons.

The hundreds of Water Slime Kings, which were already at the monarch level, were closely guarded by centurion-level officers of the Star Slayer Legion, who never left their side.

Although these monarch-level Water Slime Kings have all passed the rigorous training and testing at the Water Slime Factory,

It has also undergone regular review and assessment by water plants in top-tier cities.

They are relatively docile and have a high degree of control.

But when 100,000 Water Slime Kings gather together,

With such a large quantity, accidents are bound to happen.

We must be extremely vigilant to prevent the emergence of "idea gurus" and ambitious individuals within the group.

Instigating other Water Slime Kings to rebel, triggering an uncontrollable crisis.

Eight thousand Star-Slaying Legion soldiers guard one hundred thousand Water Slime Kings.

On average, one Star Slayer soldier is responsible for guarding 12.5 Water Slime Kings.

The task was not easy, but it was within a controllable range.

Fortunately, there was one thing that could reassure the Star Slayer soldiers—although these Water Slime Kings were called the "Kings" of the Water Slime race, even if they were just "Kings of Children," they were still kings.

But they are not, after all, the Water Slime Kings in those third-rate novels, blessed with protagonist halo and possessing invincible combat power.

In terms of actual combat strength, among demons of the same level, it's at the floor level, almost the weakest among its peers.

Their advantage has never been their fighting strength.

Rather, their core value lies in their extremely strong functionality—absorbing, purifying, and storing water elements.

Take water purification as an example: the water purification ability of one Water Slime King is equivalent to that of ten thousand ordinary Water Slimes, making it extremely efficient.

This is also the core reason why all the major waterworks in Daxia chose to cultivate and use the Water Slime King.

As for the ordinary water slimes, their fate is quite different.

If they are detected in the Water Slime Factory, they will not be qualified to become the Water Slime King.

Eighty percent will be directly smashed and regenerated.

Re-cultivate them, without wasting a single resource.

The remaining 20% ​​will mostly be nurtured and raised to adulthood.

Once they have grown to a certain size, their bodies are dried and broken up to give them their final value.

They will become a powerful assistant to the Great Xia's reputation as an "infrastructure maniac," serving as one of the main raw materials for the best adhesives, and helping the Great Xia's various infrastructure projects to be indestructible.

It will also become a behind-the-scenes contributor to the Great Xia's title of "a major grain-producing country," as one of the raw materials for fertilizers, nourishing the land and increasing grain production;

At the same time, it is also one of the best feeds for the aquaculture industry, helping the industry to flourish.

Only a negligible fraction of ordinary water slimes will be strictly limited in their breeding to maintain a basic population size for unforeseen circumstances.

As for why water slimes are generally not seen in cities or the wild?

Actually, this statement isn't quite "accurate".

Water slimes are indeed rare within the Great Xia territory.

On the one hand, it's because water slimes have too many natural enemies, making them easy prey for other monsters;

On the other hand, it's because regular water slime is simply "useless".

It lacks both formidable combat power and functionality far inferior to the Water Slime King.

They might even be taken by the diligent people of Bactria.

While doing housework and cleaning the environment

Treating it as "junk," it was easily "uprooted."

If completely eradicated, it will naturally be difficult to see.

However, in the western continent, one can occasionally see ordinary water slimes.

However, they are not as numerous as described in some Western fantasy novels; they remain extremely rare.

In short, they basically chose elite soldiers from the Star Slayer Legion who were skilled in both magic and martial arts, with a clear division of labor—high-level mages or third-tier warriors were responsible for guarding the commander-level Water Slime King.

Super-rank mages are specifically tasked with guarding the monarch-level water slime kings transported from first-tier and super-first-tier cities.

With this setup, plus the Ironblood control of the Star Slayer soldiers, the safety of these 12.5 Water Slime Kings is assured.

It is highly guaranteed, and there will basically be no problems!
