With Cerberus scouting ahead, Shadow Ten followed Mike's instructions, maintaining a certain distance—not too close, not too far.
"We're here!"
Shadow Ten looked ahead at what was supposed to be a demon god seed, frowning,
"This is a demon god seed?"
It looked like a ball of yarn, fixed in place, continuously emitting demonic energy.
It was conspicuous, with no attempt at concealment.
It looked... weak.
Shadow Ten asked in a low voice, "Should I take it out?"
"No, let's keep our distance from that filthy thing."
Taking a closer look, Mike realized he couldn't gather more information and had to remotely command Cerberus to attack.
"Use only fire element attacks, step by step."
Shadow Ten and Mike moved back, watching the situation unfold.
"Boom—"
Under Cerberus's continuous attacks, the demon god seed was roasted to a crisp and eventually exploded.
[Current number of demon god seeds: 16]
From three miles away, Mike stared intently at the remains of the demon god seed, trying to glean more information.
A strange force of law descended, and the remains of the demon god seed seemed to be drained, instantly withering.
[Current demon god seed damage immunity: Space Element, Fire Element]
Mike: ?!
"Just as I thought, it's not that simple!"
Space Element, Fire Element immunity...
Seeing the change, Mike calmly analyzed,
"The first demon god seed was killed by spatial turbulence, the second by fire element damage. Now, all remaining demon god seeds have gained Space Element and Fire Element immunity!"
Mike asserted, "These seeds are bait; the birth of a demon god is like breeding deadly creatures in a survival contest!"
Initially, these demon god seeds were very weak, easily killed by a dog.
After they died, the remaining demon god seeds gained new buffs, becoming stronger!
The final demon god born would be incredibly troublesome!
Just as Mike thought this, the prompt changed again:
[Current number of demon god seeds: 15]
[Current demon god seed damage immunity: Space Element, Fire Element, Wind Element]
"Amari, immediately notify Maxen and the others!"
Mike relayed his findings to Shadow Ten, who was responsible for passing them on.
"Got it!"
Shadow Ten closed his eyes, muttering under his breath.
Soon, he opened his eyes, his ears twitching, clearly receiving a response.
Mike sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Space Element, Fire Element..."
Joseph pondered these words. Demon god seeds were immune to these?
As potential demon gods, having some immunity was reasonable.
"Message from Shadow Ten!"
Maxen's face darkened as he received the message, "The translation is gibberish, clearly tampered with!"
This situation had been anticipated.
Joseph said, "Send a simple reply, telling them we didn't receive it."
As for the strange encounter with the demon god seed, Joseph and Maxen discussed it briefly.
Maxen casually mentioned, "Shadow Ten mentioned before that there are eighteen of these demon god seeds. It seems they've encountered them too. Damage immunity, determining the source of lethal damage, I've seen similar things on the battlefield before.
In other words, the more we kill, the tougher they get.
So far: Space Element, Wind Element, Fire Element, the demon god seeds have already gained immunity to three elements."
Even without the Eye of Truth's prompt, the two quickly deduced most of the truth.
"Attention, everyone!"
Maxen shared the deduced information with the group, emphasizing,
"Do not use Lightning Element, Blood Element, or Shadow Element skills to attack the demon god seeds!"
Given the nature of the demon god seeds, the most powerful methods should be saved for last!
Joseph specialized in [Space Element] and [Wind Element], making him practically useless now.
But Maxen always considered him useless anyway,
So, no big difference.
After hearing Maxen's command, the group was initially stunned, then someone exclaimed,
"Thor is here?!"
"Holy fuck, really, Thor is here too!"
"Thor is actually with us? No, Thor should be acting separately!"
"..."
These carefully selected team members were all sharp.
Kaelum here was just the floor of their intelligence.
From Maxen's single sentence, they deduced that Thor was also in the Suture Abyss!
Lightning!
Which human genius was most proficient in Lightning nowadays?
No need to ask!
Potential Supreme Being, Thor!
Immediately, the rescue team's morale soared, everyone shouting, "Kill demon creatures, clear the mist! Rescue Professor Gregory, find Thor!"
Maxen sighed, puzzled.
Why would anyone rush to meet Thor, as if they had too much money?
Too young, these youngsters!
Silly kids, run away while you can!
