Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 235 - 190: 200-Li Giant Dragon, Insect Deities Back Down
The Insectoid Demigods descended quickly, and they fled just as fast.
During Lince’s promotion, if the Power of a hundred Middle-Rank Saint Tier experts had interfered with the pillar of light, and if Deities had even made their Descent to the Lower Realm, it was uncertain whether Lince’s promotion would have succeeded.
But unfortunately for them,
the four Insect Deities were afraid.
They even got cold feet ahead of time.
So, for some unknown reason, the hundred-odd Demigods were all recalled by the Insect Deities in the next moment.
And so,
without the interference of the Insect People, and with the dark curtain quickly disappearing again,
Lince, having absorbed enough Energy, finally broke through the barrier to the Saint Tier.
Thus,
in the next instant, the Giant Dragon’s terrifying form began to expand once more.
Forty-five thousand meters.
Fifty thousand meters.
Sixty thousand meters.
...
Soon,
under the watchful eyes of numerous Star Realm Demigods and Deities,
Lince, the Ancient Giant Dragon, finally succeeded in his promotion to the Saint Tier, even quickly breaking through to the critical point of the Saint Tier Peak.
If Lince wished,
he could choose to condense his Divinity at any moment and ascend to the Demigod Tier.
But at this final step, the True Game strictly enforced Lince’s promotion request, holding him at the very brink of the Saint Tier.
However, even though Lince had not ascended to Demigod,
the Divinity he had previously obtained was already integrated into his body.
Space Divinity and Fiery Sun Divinity.
With these two types of Divinity inside him, it meant that from that moment on, Lince could ascend to Demigod on his own with a single thought, even without the True Game’s help.
The foundation the True Game had laid for Lince was complete.
From now on, he would often have to rely on himself for the path ahead.
One hundred thousand meters!
That’s right. In his Saint Tier Peak state,
Lince’s current Body Type had reached a terrifying length of one hundred thousand meters.
What did that even mean?
At the speed of a car traveling one hundred kilometers per hour, it would still take an hour to cover the full distance.
If Lince’s current body were to lie across the land, it would be no smaller than a large mountain range.
With such a massive Body Type, if he were to move on the ground,
it would be nothing short of a true, mobile cataclysm!
His every move could cause the earth to collapse. With a little effort, a large island wouldn’t even last a few seconds against his rampage.
But, in gaining this Power,
Lince’s movements now faced many more restrictions.
The force exerted on him by the planet’s gravitational environment was utterly terrifying.
Even though he himself commanded the power of gravity fields, the constant Energy consumption required to remain harmlessly within the planet’s Mortal World was also terrifying.
The Power of Space, plus the power of gravity fields.
As passive powers, they should have been enough to allow Lince to move harmlessly in the Mortal World.
But, unfortunately, the tyrannical fluctuation of Lince’s Ancient Species’ Life Essence could no longer deceive the Mana Will!
Therefore, the so-called gravitational suppression could also be seen as the Power of the Mana Will’s rules being directly applied to him.
So, if Lince maintained his Giant Dragon Body Type now, every single move he made in the Mortal World would consume double, or even several times, the Magic Power.
Thus, the moment his promotion was complete,
countless ripples of Space could be seen undulating around the Giant Dragon.
The temperature of the flames on his body had already surpassed ten thousand degrees.
Looking back at the land he illuminated, it was already riddled with holes and completely unrecognizable.
No trace of civilization could be found on the land; all that remained was a flowing sea of lava and fire.
No Mana Will could tolerate this level of environmental destruction.
Therefore, the moment his thoughts cleared, Lince felt an extremely terrifying suppressive force from the world’s rules.
The high temperature of his body was being compressed by invisible rules, slowly retracting back inside him.
And his massive Body Type was enduring extremely terrifying gravitational pressure.
His Magic Power was rapidly draining.
And at a terrifyingly fast rate.
Faced with this situation, Lince was first stunned, then sighed helplessly.
’Well, this is just great!’
’I had intended to suppress my strength at the Saint Tier, hoping to be able to roam the Mortal World with Saint Tier Power without being suppressed by the rules.’
’But in the end... ’
’I guess I was thinking too much!’
The Power of an Ancient Dragon Species was just too far past the Breaking Limit.
As the fundamental operational rule of the world, the Mana Will, although lacking a specific conscious inclination, could still sense threats within the planet.
As a collective of ecological will,
Lince’s ecosystem-destroying Power was undoubtedly something that no Mana Will could ignore.
Therefore, on one hand, Green Saturn’s Mana Will was suppressing Lince in every possible way.
But on the other hand, Green Saturn’s Mana Will had also reluctantly opened a back door for Lince.
Specifically, Lince could clearly feel numerous weak points in the Space around him.
With just a slight movement, if he wished, Lince could appear outside of Green Saturn’s Star Realm in an instant.
But getting out was easy; getting back in would be difficult.
At this moment, Green Saturn’s Mana Will had likely already marked Lince.
And a system notification from the True Game confirmed Lince’s Spiritual intuition.
[Friendly Reminder: As the Chief Operating Administrator has been promoted to Saint Tier, your Power has greatly exceeded the Breaking Limit and you have been marked by Green Saturn’s Mana Will.]
(In light of the immense ecological destruction you have caused (over 300,000 square kilometers), under this mark, your every move will be under the high scrutiny of the Mana Will.)
(In view of the partial Authority obtained by the True Game, as well as your special status as a game Player, you may currently choose to transform into your Human Race body to be exempt from the Mana Will’s rule restrictions. However, if you ever use Power exceeding the Saint Tier, you will, without exception, suffer an even more severe backlash from the rules. Please be aware of this, Chief.)
Seeing the reminder, Lince was truly helpless.
’So what if my Power is Breaking the Limit?’
’Am I not a Saint Tier?’
’Sure, my destructive power is a bit greater, maybe even reaching world-ending levels.’
’But when large armies of High Tier Saint Tier experts fight, doesn’t the ecosystem suffer too?’
Lince grumbled to himself.
But that was just how the world’s rules worked.
It was truly awkward.
The feeling was as uncomfortable as a celestial being descending to the Mortal World only to have their power sealed.
But, it had to be said, Lince could now truly feel how terrifying he had become.
’A terrifying Body Type one hundred thousand meters long.’
’If I were to use the various powers of the Dragon Race, not to mention in a non-magical situation like the one from before...’
’If I truly wanted to end the world, it would probably only take a few days, right?’
’It seems the current situation is no longer a matter of whether Green Saturn can accommodate me.’
’It would probably be the same on Blue Star.’
’But as long as I don’t do anything that Breaks the Limit on Blue Star, it should be fine, right?’
’After all, I’m still a Saint Tier.’
Lince was speechless.
But on the other hand, Lince looked up at the Star Realm.
The next moment, an inexplicable urge to go out and take a look washed over him.
With his current Power, which incorporated two types of Divinity, and the strength of an Ancient Dragon Species,
he was very tempted to test the strength of this planet’s Deities.
Just because he couldn’t do it before didn’t mean he couldn’t now.
’But, if I go out right now and even slaughter a few Insect Deities...’
’...will I still be able to enter the Mortal World?’
Lince had his doubts about this.
And sure enough, after Lince used his Authority to ask the True Game,
the True Game gave a clear answer.
He could not!
Once Lince entered the Green Saturn Star Realm, and especially after killing Deities, he would absolutely be unable to enter Green Saturn again.
If that happened, he could only return to Blue Star with his tail between his legs and watch the Players wreak havoc behind enemy lines on their own.
Of course, the True Game also gave another clear answer.
That is, once nearly half of this world’s rules fell into its hands, Lince would naturally be able to come and go as he pleased.
But, just like with the Mana Wills of the various Demon Worlds,
if Lince wanted to enter any of the Mortal Worlds in the Game World in the future, he would have to "disarm."
This so-called "disarming" meant Lince could absolutely not act with Power exceeding roughly three times that of a Saint Tier.
Otherwise, Lince’s administrative Authority might even be demoted.
The three-fold Power limit was only because Lince possessed Level Three Authority in the True Game.
Otherwise, just you wait and see if the True Game wouldn’t "take care of" any Player who stepped into the Demigod Tier in the future.
Lince couldn’t even be bothered to comment on the matter.
’It’s already become a map for the True Game, practically half my backyard. Do I really need to use Power beyond the Saint Tier?’
’Besides, as my Authority gets upgraded, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.’
Moreover, the fundamental nature of the True Game was quite interesting.
’A product of Mana Will that possesses a certain conscious inclination...’
’I’m afraid this thing is the Blue Star’s Will come to life.’
Possessing a will meant that in future local wars (including on game maps), this thing might even infinitely unlock the rule suppression of the Mana Will.
This was quite a bit better than planets without a specific conscious inclination.
However, it was undeniable that the Cosmos was vast.
Lince would very likely encounter other variant Mana Will entities like the True Game.
Therefore, this was no reason for the Blue Star Human Race to become arrogant.
History was full of examples of the mighty falling to trivial mistakes.
If all the Players recognized the special nature of the True Game and acted high and mighty, the probability of problems arising in the future would be quite high.
However, none of this had much to do with Lince anymore.
After all, Lince had already made up his mind.
He would leave the Insectoid World for the Blue Star Alliance to develop.
But the Oakland Continent and the Karte Continent must become Lince’s own territory.
And right now, the establishment of York’s nation on the Karte Continent was imminent!
’So, should I establish a Kingdom first? Or an Empire?’
’A Central Empire? A model where multiple Kingdoms guard the borders and offer tribute?’
Lince’s thoughts wandered far.
However, even as his mind wandered, he didn’t forget the system’s reminder.
Therefore, in the next instant, to prevent a massive drain on his Power, Lince immediately retracted his Giant Dragon form and changed back into his human body.
It had to be said, the basic benefits the True Game gave to Blue Star Players were quite good.
At least, as a so-called fusion of a Blue Star Human and a Giant Dragon, Lince didn’t need to consume a large amount of Power to maintain a human form like a conventional dragon would.
Lince’s human body already existed.
And his Giant Dragon body also truly existed.
Therefore, switching between the two required almost no Power to maintain.
Thus, when Lince transformed into his human body, the immense sense of rule-based restriction he had felt from Space vanished in an instant.
However, just as Lince deactivated his Giant Dragon form, a strange Spiritual voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"O powerful Otherworldly Deity."
"I believe there may be some misunderstanding between our two sides."
"In light of Green Saturn’s offense this time, we are willing to pay a certain price to appease your anger."
"I wonder, would you be willing to grant us an opportunity to coexist peacefully?"
"We sincerely hope you will consider this matter. Everything is negotiable. In short, we will certainly do our utmost to achieve a result that satisfies you..."
