“Confirmed.” Nodding his confirmation, a rush of excitement surged within Yu Zi Yu.
10,000 Evolution Points for upgrading just a branch was indeed a lot. Even with 2 million Evolution Points in his bag, he might find it challenging to upgrade all the branches.
Be that as it may, it still made him extremely thrilled.
After all, it was Tier-4, the Tier-4!
This was a level that even Humans referred to as ‘Natural Disaster.’ At this level, one possessed extraordinary strength so baffling that Humans could not even comprehend it, let alone explain the reasons for such immense power.
All they knew was that Tier-4, the Natural Disaster Class Transcendents, were simply akin to natural phenomena. They could neither be killed, nor be repelled, and nor could they be defeated. More importantly, every move they made could shake the world, leading to cataclysmic consequences.
In other words, even their unintentional release of Spiritual Energy could trigger a calamity.
This was the terror of Tier-4 Transcendents, known as ‘Natural Disaster.’
To put it into perspective: How frightening was a Tier-4 Transcendent? It could be easily discerned by comparing it to a character in Yu Zi Yu’s memories.
A titanic extraterrestrial Dragon that brought storms, devoured Humans and even devoured Gods (Kaiju).
People called it ‘King Ghidorah’ and were deeply afraid of it, to the extent that they did not even want to preserve its legends, as if it were destined to be forgotten. Indeed, the Kaiju, King Ghidorah.
A real Tier-4 Transcendent was no less formidable than King Ghidorah.
And just how strong King Ghidorah was?
It could absorb energy from anything by biting any life form or energy source. At the same time, it could also fire a Gravity Beam from its mouth that could destroy everything in its path.
More terrifyingly, King Ghidorah possessed its unique storm system.
It could summon a thunderstorm, seemingly from another world, with a flap of its wings, or, even more impressively, it could alter the environment of an entire planet by manipulating storms to better suit its survival.
Of course, this kind of transformation was a lengthy process.
Nevertheless, it was enough to demonstrate King Ghidorah’s might.
The ability to alter an entire plante single-handedly was genuinely spine-chilling.
Furthermore, King Ghidorah could regenerate its dismembered limbs; it was nearly indestructible.
This was King Ghidorah, the Tier-4 Natural Disaster as known to Yu Zi Yu.
Only such potent creatures could live up to the title of ‘Natural Disaster.’
According to Yu Zi Yu’s speculation, any Mutant Bird would evolve toward the likes of King Ghidorah, whereas terrestrial Mutant Beasts and those Aquatic Mutant Creatures dwelling in the depths of the sea would evolve in the direction of his archnemesis, Godzilla.
Moreover, it was not ordinary Godzilla, but a fully evolved Godzilla, the Burning Godzilla.
Only the Burning Godzilla could be deemed a Natural Disaster at the Tier-4. Additionally, Tier-4 Mutant Birds could be likened to another Kaiju, Rodan.
Modeled after prehistoric pterosaurs, Rodan possessed a wingspan of approximately 150 meters, which allowed it to achieve supersonic flight capable of generating devastating shockwaves. The colossal wings could generate hurricane-like destructive forces with every beat.
Even a single low-altitude glide could unleash shockwaves capable of leveling an entire city.
Such combat prowess was quite formidable, even among Tier-4 Transcendents.
Now, Yu Zi Yu contemplated carefully. If he were to encounter a terrifying Avian creature like Rodan, and if he used everything in his arsenal, the odds would be approximately 70:30 in his favor..
However, by the time his Spiritual Energy had reached around five million, formidable avian creatures like Rodan would have no chance against him.
After all, his tree body was no pushover. Yu Zi Yu’s numerous Python-like sub-roots would strangle it in unison, and unless a fearsome Avian Creature like Rodan avoided a direct confrontation with him, Yu Zi Yu should be able to kill it.
At that moment, Yu Zi Yu suddenly felt one of his branches tremble.
*Boom!* A torrent of energy suddenly surged into him like a flood.
Subsequently, like a tree blossoming, one of Yu Zi Yu’s branches continued to bloom, giving rise to one fire-like flower after another.
Simultaneously, a series of information appeared in Yu Zi Yu’s mind.
|
Mutant Branch (Level 4): It’s more robust and able to imbue different types of Spiritual Energy. Fire-Attribute Spiritual Energy – It covers the branches in flames, which when whipped with tremendous force, lashes out a wave of flame, which turns into a raging fire that engulfs all enemies. Earth Elemental Spiritual Energy – It Makes the branch more durable by covering it in a layer of yellowish-brown scale. It not only increases its weight, but also significantly boosts its defense. |
“Is this the power of Tier-4 abilities?” Filled with amazement, Yu Zi Yu’s pupils could not help but slightly shrank.
Infusion of different types of Spiritual Energy only bolstered the branch infused with the Spiritual Energy.
Furthermore, the infusion of Spiritual Energy was not just a simple infusion; it involved a profound application of Spiritual Energy.
For example, infusing Fire-Attribute Spiritual Energy boosted Yu Zi Yu’s branch’s destructive power by at least several times…
One could easily imagine what that meant when Yu Zi Yu had only absorbed Fire-Attribute and Earth-Attribute Spiritual Energies.
[In the future, if I cultivated Ice-Attribute Spiritual Energy, would it add a freezing effect? If I cultivated Lightning-Attribute Spiritual Energy, would it add a paralyzing effect?] Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Once he had completed upgrading his hundreds of branches, he might be able to cause a natural disaster. In an instant, he could unleash raging flames across the sky or rain down hundreds of branches armored in scales, annihilating everything in their path.
“Well, I must admit, I seemed to have underestimated the power of Tier-4 abilities at first.” Muttering this, a hint of fervor in Yu Zi Yu’s gaze when he looked toward the branches.
At this moment, he truly felt an impulse to spend all his Evolution Points on upgrading the branches. Furthermore, upgrading the branches would also increase his Spiritual Energy.
Just like now, when he upgraded the branch, it had increased his Spiritual Energy by 10,000.
If he upgraded all his branches completely, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy would break through the 4 million mark at the very least. And coupled with this Fire-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy could surge to 5 million in a short time.
The next course of action would be to reap another batch of Evolution Points for upgrading his roots.
According to Yu Zi Yu’s estimation, perhaps in half a year or so, thanks to the increase in Spiritual Energy brought by the upgrade of his roots, his Spiritual Energy could reach 8-9 millions, eventually approaching the 10 million mark.
“Damn, this is getting a bit too exciting.” Thinking about this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but get thrilled.
Tier-4, the legendary Tier-4 known as the Natural Disaster Class, had not gotten a glimpse of its threshold.
