Richard wouldn’t achieve the desired effects even if he summoned the Fire Elemental Lord Klose and sent the dark soul eater, Kratos, and the god’s ancient tree to surround and kill the enemies.
That transcendent Naga King was not a reckless lifeform. It would run like a snake if it couldn’t defeat an opponent. Richard would have to deploy several troops to defend the spatial rift if Loreinna couldn’t slay it.
At that time, it would be an endless war of attrition.
That was unbearable for the current Twilight City. Richard couldn’t afford to waste time.
Fortunately, Loreinna was able to execute all of this.
“There’s no need to be so polite.
“Loreinna, you did well.
“You’ve made an immense contribution this time!
“The threat would be unbearable if not for the Naga King’s demise, even if we win this war.”
Richard praised her and looked at the spatial rift.
“Did you discover anything in that plane?”
Loreinna got up, and her silver eyes moved slightly.
She extended her left hand and opened her palm. Her hand revealed a faint red crystal.
“Lord, this is the red crystal I have obtained from the Naga’s head… It contains boundless energy.”
“The Nagas kept crystals in their heads?”
Richard was interested.
He reached out to take it. He immediately sensed the rich energy stored inside. At the same time, there was a faint ancient god aura.
He curiously opened the attribute panel.
[Great Stone of the Ancient Ones]
[Level: Special]
[Characteristic: The system has imbued it with boundless energy.]
[Note: One can use it as a substitute for rare resources to recruit soldiers. One can use each stone of the ancient ones to replace 1,000 units of rare resources.]
[Description: A crystal condensed from the power of the ancient laws.]
“A great stone of the ancient ones was equivalent to 1,000 units of rare resources?”
That stirred Richard’s interest.
He saw this as a solution and immediately tempted him if he fell short of resources.
Wouldn’t he be able to take off on the spot if he could get a million or eight hundred thousand pills?
He no longer saw disgust when he looked at the Naga again. Instead, it was as if he looked at a mobile gold mine.
Richard’s eyes moved sparingly. He reached out to take out the Primordial Divine Condor.
He looked down and emitted a remarkable energy fluctuation.
Desire.
It wanted to devour this great stone of the ancient ones.
The red crystal in the Naga’s head could feed the statue of the ancient gods.
Richard gently stroked the statue. Then he placed the great stone of the ancient ones on top of it.
In the next moment, a dark light surged out and devoured the energy of the great stone of the ancient ones.
He could feel that the aura of the ancient god statue had become sparingly thick.
Unfortunately, the energy was still too little. It would take at least ten thousand or more to make any changes.
But this gave Richard a clear signal. These lifeforms that had absorbed the power of the blood rain were beneficial to the ancient god statues.
At that time, he did not let the ancient god statue devour the blood rain because he was worried that something would happen.
It wouldn’t be wise to throw in a treasure that already contained the power of an ancient god before one confirms the effects of blood rain.
It would be fine if it had a positive effect, such as being targeted by a revived ancient god. It would be a waste if there were any side effects.
Now that Twilight City had settled, it was time to try.
Richard glanced at the broken limbs on the ground.
The soldiers could devour the flesh if they could devour the crystals in their heads.
These Nagas came at the right time.
Richard was in a good mood.
But Loreinna spoke again just as he was about to land and test it.
“Lord, that plane…it is about to die.”
Richard paused. That puzzled him.
“The plane is about to die? What do you mean? The Naga Plane is about to collapse?”
A big shot gave him the dimension stone in the first dungeon. He rubbed the dimension stone with his hands. He suddenly recalled these scenes.
The destructive power would be indescribable if the plane collapsed. And it would be difficult for life to survive.
Richard looked into the distance. He saw the Naga troop that still charged at the stone statues of the dead without fear of death.
He was deep in thought.
“Is this the reason why they are so cruel?”
Loreinna nodded.
“The planar power wailed. I can sense the decaying aura the plane had emitted. It was like a sick old man in bed and about to die.”
Richard’s eyes lit up as he spoke.
“Lord, this is an opportunity for the rest of us.”
“Chance?”
That intrigued Richard.
“What do you mean?”
“Holy land!”
“Holy land?”
Loreinna said with certainty, “Your plane is a novice. It still hadn’t matured and needed a vast planar power to nourish it.
“One can only absorb void energy under normal circumstances to obtain planar power. However, the time consumed would be tens of thousands of years.
“The way to make the holy land swiftly grow is to devour another plane.”
She paused shortly and waited for Richard to signal her to continue.
“A weak and immature plane would never devour a healthy plane under normal circumstances.
“But the resistance of the planar power is severely weak now that the Naga Plane is aging and about to die. That is a rare opportunity.
“Lord, we only need to remove the final consciousness resistance of the planar power. And the holy land can devour this plane.”
That piqued Richard’s interest. He stared into her silver eyes.
“Is there any way to wipe out the planar power??”
“The Naga Plane will continue to weaken if we continue to hunt their lives.”
