Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2403 - 2404: Association

Skipping past the carousel and other attractions near the entrance, Feng Yuan and the others headed directly towards the depths of the theme park, where the flames around them were continuously increasing. Of course, these decorative flames in the amusement park did not make them uncomfortable; the temperature hadn’t even risen much.

However, the false flames still made Feng Yuan and the others feel slightly warm, although they understood it was merely a psychological effect.

Precisely because of this slight feeling of heat, Feng Yuan and the others couldn’t help but anticipate the upcoming experience.

"Hmm, this looks like a Sonein Rune? I recall that what corresponds to this are the mysterious Stele Spirit Beasts, right?"

Noticing the mysterious rune at the entrance of a mine, Feng Yuan glanced at it with surprise and said, Dou Yanlan observed it for a while and said

"Indeed, these are the decorative runes they prefer to use."

Sonein Runes are derived from Stele Spirit Beasts. Even Divine Beasts cannot figure out whether Stele Spirit Beasts came first or the various peculiar runes. What is certain is that these special runes have an inseparable connection with Stele Spirit Beasts.

"Many ancient sites like to use runes for decoration, even if they don’t understand them."

Qi Chen did not quite understand what Feng Yuan was trying to say, Feng Yuan smiled and said

"Seeing this thing reminds me of the special abilities of Stele Spirit Beasts, or rather, most Stele Spirit Beasts possess this ability."

"Special abilities?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with confusion; he wasn’t joking, was he? Although Stele Spirit Beasts are not very common, they aren’t particularly powerful spirit beasts either, mainly because their attack methods are quite singular, primarily based on the contents of their steles.

It’s not that no one has attempted to form a team of Stele Spirit Beasts, but because their roles are too clearly defined, the team takes too long to form, and only someone with family backing can barely manage without being dragged down.

Of course, if it weren’t for having support, that person wouldn’t try to assemble a team of Stele Spirit Beasts.

As an unusually slow-forming special type, once a team of Stele Spirit Beasts is formed, its power is rather formidable. The person backed by a family who attempted to form a team of Stele Spirit Beasts could unleash quite terrifying power once the team was established.

Although that person did not join the Elder Council due to family matters, he is, in some sense, also an important combat force for Great Xia.

Currently, he is capable of unleashing an attack close to that of a Divine Beast when needed, though it is just a single attack. However, to some extent, it is still terrifying.

As for his usual combat strength, it generally remains at the Sacred Beast Level, though none of his spirit beasts have reached the Sacred Beast Level.

Unfortunately, according to experiments and research, humans have discovered that to achieve such terrifying effects with Stele Spirit Beasts, at least six are needed, and for an ordinary person to control six spirit beasts demands quite a lot of time and effort.

Before that, there is virtually no significant combat power, which is unacceptable for most Beastmasters, so even though they know of the strengths of Stele Spirit Beasts, few have any thoughts about them.

"Stele Spirit Beasts possess a special combination ability to combine different ultimate moves into new powerful ones. However, I feel this is somewhat like a magic chant."

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan and expressed her opinion, nodding, Feng Yuan said

"That’s about right, Stele Spirit Beasts are in a state between conventional spirit beast ultimate skills and magic. In essence, their steles are essentially special runes similar to magic symbols."

"I don’t have any particular thoughts about Stele Spirit Beasts; it’s just that seeing this thing suddenly reminded me that among Stele Spirit Beasts, there is a commonly mastered rune, and I wonder if anyone has tried to see if it would change current Beastmasters’ battles."

"Common rune?"

Not only Qi Chen but even Dou Yanlan was momentarily puzzled, not quite understanding what Feng Yuan was talking about. Suddenly realizing something, Dou Yanlan was taken aback and said

"You don’t mean the Fire Weakness Rune?!"

"That’s the one. It’s rare for other spirit beasts to master similar techniques, but Stele Spirit Beasts commonly wield this special rune ultimate move. I’m wondering whether it would similarly affect current battles."

"That’s uncertain."

Dou Yanlan answered quite uncertainly. The Fire Weakness Rune is a special rune ultimate move; its effect is rather simple and straightforward, temporarily increasing a specific attribute suppression on the target.

Currently, aside from the Ghost Series being suppressed by the Death Series, resulting in double damage from Death Series ultimate moves, there is no suppression relationship between other attributes.

However, the Fire Weakness Rune can apply such simple suppression relationships to other attributes. For example, a Fire Weakness Rune can make the target suppressed by the Fire Attribute, doubling the damage from Fire Attribute ultimate moves.

Feng Yuan was not concerned with this increase in suppression damage. After all, the mere increase in damage is, in his view, negligible for the effect on a battle.

A mere doubling, not considering how much additional increase the Crystal Domain can provide.

What Feng Yuan cares about is whether this suppression relationship will lead to new changes, such as dealing suppression damage might carry additional effects in the Crystal Domain or Domain Awakening.

Feng Yuan wasn’t fantasizing; currently, the Crystal Domain interacts with many chaotic elements, and he couldn’t be sure whether this suppression relationship would also change within the Crystal Domain.

Moreover, perhaps the suppression relationships might appear comprehensively?

Mysteriously, Feng Yuan thought of this possibility, and he looked at Agunas and said

"Agunas, do you think it’s possible for comprehensive attribute suppression relationships to suddenly emerge?"

"No."

With a flick of his tail, Agunas answered firmly. Seeing Qi Chen and the others looking over, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said

"You’re aware of how complex the rules involved in this are. Even for us Divine Beasts, there’s no way to handle such a vast change in rules."

Even if only the suppression relationship between the Death Series and Ghost Series were to unfold completely, the change in the world’s rules would be enormous, not to mention that even they, the Divine Beasts, possess attributes.

Once suppression relationships are spread, even Divine Beasts will be affected and disturbed, involving world rules that made Agunas break into a cold sweat.

However, upon careful consideration, Agunas felt it might not be impossible. After all, there are examples like the Death Series and Ghost Series that show such things are bound to appear eventually; only in what form, Agunas couldn’t guess.

After all, like the Meteorite Spirit Beast, it was quietly hidden for such a long time before suddenly coming to light.

Suppression relationships like these, who knows what they’ll be?

"In the short term, it shouldn’t be possible; such a large change would definitely have alerts and slow transformations, overnight changes, although not impossible, are unlikely."

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said, if Feng Yuan intervenes, suddenly comprehensive suppression relationships appearing in the world rules wouldn’t be surprising. But if it were up to the world itself, she didn’t think it would be so fast or urgent.

There’s so much involved; even for them, the Divine Beasts, they need to prepare in advance and give their all, and almost all Divine Beasts need to be involved.

In addition, humanity and Wild Spirit Beasts need to be informed too, otherwise, this strange change would cause chaos worldwide.

However, aside from The Old World Continent, the matter of the temporal streams remains unresolved, and Veronia doesn’t think the world will undergo such significant change at this moment, otherwise... it would be a big mess.

Whether it’s The Old World Continent or the temporal streams, it involves a lot of Divine Beast effort. Even though there hasn’t been an all-out conflict yet, Veronia can foresee that not long after, the Empire’s timeline will launch a war against the main timeline, and quite possibly, the war timeline will seize the opportunity to invade.

The matter of The Old World Continent joining the Alliance is also unresolved, resulting in the Alliance and Divine Beasts being unable to give their all against the temporal stream invasion.

These matters are troublesome enough; Veronia can’t imagine what would happen if there were a comprehensive world rule update at this time.

The update of world rules would inevitably trigger large-scale anomalies globally, not to mention involving Divine Beasts, possibly weakening their combat power during this period.

Veronia can’t predict what might happen, but it certainly wouldn’t be good.
