Chapter 674 - 457: Now, Who Is the Real Calamity? (Leaning Back)
[Ding! You have obtained an Event Card: Demon Beast Forest Extinction Event]
[Ding! You have obtained an Environment Card: Explosive Torrent·Demon Beast Forest]
The detonation of the Demon Beast Forest directly led to the magical beasts living within starting to be massively affected.
Except for a few magical beasts unaffected by the explosion, and those with certain immortality characteristics, an extinction-style explosion targeting the entire Demon Beast Forest is unfolding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Faced with a greater calamity, the original disaster seems so insignificant.
Magical Beast Disaster?
I blew up the entire Demon Beast Forest, and there will be no more magical beast disasters.
The people worried about the impending magical beast disaster probably never imagined that someone would use such extreme measures to kill this regional destructive calamity in the cradle.
[Ding! Your Soul Card has gained new forms: Calamity Creator·Alice]
[Ding! Your Soul Card has gained new forms: Calamity Destroyer·Alice]
Goodness, Alice just toppled over lightly, directly earning Shen Sui two new forms.
But on closer thought, these two new forms are indeed very reasonable. Alice caused the explosive torrent of the Demon Beast Forest, directly creating this artificial calamity with a tendency to destroy the Demon Beast Forest. Yet, precisely because of this unforeseen artificial calamity, the magical beast disaster that could have destroyed the entire South Roland was eliminated without a trace.
This explosion feast of the Demon Beast Forest impacts more on the magical beasts living in the forest, with little effect on most humans outside the forest today.
However, if the Demon Beast Forest really were directly destroyed by Alice, the entire South Roland ecosystem would be directly demolished. Even though the people on Dawn Continent have not yet developed to the extent of advocating environmental concepts, the disappearance of the Demon Beast Forest will inevitably lead to the collapse of industries reliant on magical beast materials, which would also be a destruction for South Roland.
Shen Sui hesitated not for a moment and directly typed messages, urging Alice to quickly restrain herself and contain the disaster within a controllable scope.
"Huh? Really?" Alice initially couldn’t believe it, after all, it was just pouring a bottle of potion into the lake, and unexpectedly directly destroying the entire Demon Beast Forest. Such a thing, even in the Fantasy World, seemed too fantastical.
But the continuous explosions sounding from afar confirmed the reality of it all to Alice.
"What should I do?" Calm instead of panicking, Alice quickly regained composure and asked Shen Sui about the potion’s attributes.
"Bring the entire Demon Beast Forest within your perception range." You said.
Although for Shen Sui and Alice, destroying the Demon Beast Forest has little impact on them, Alice in name is the ruler of South Roland, and it is one of her duties to protect the economic pillars of South Roland.
Alice, after listening, promptly sprang into action.
Her magic power was not sufficient to release and sustain perception magic that enveloped the entire Demon Beast Forest, thus Alice chose the simplest and most straightforward method: deploy drones.
Alice released all the miniature puppets she made from her ring, expanding her vision as far as possible.
The countless perceptions and information brought by the puppets instantly overwhelmed Alice’s brain, and it was only the Golden Ship timely arriving to press its head against Alice, preventing her from fainting on the spot.
[Ding! You have obtained a Permanent Spell Card: Puppet’s Gaze]
The number of miniature puppets Alice prepared was already quite substantial, yet still insufficient to encompass the entire Demon Beast Forest, as the distant explosions continued to resound.
Those plants absorbing assimilated underground water turned into hidden bombs.
Some magical beasts eating plant branches and fruits as food also got infected by the sap during consumption.
They originally were not within Alice’s perception range, and at the moment of assimilation completion, their body fluids exploded.
The high temperature from the explosion evaporated the water content in their bodies, and this steam, once entering the air, was inhaled by the magical beasts, making those who hadn’t drunk lake water explosive bombs.
Those unobserved by Alice faced their destined death upon instant assimilation.
And new explosions produced new corpses, the moisture in the corpses evaporated under high temperature from explosions and entered the air.
Similar to the lake surface, because Alice’s ability wasn’t sufficient to gaze upon such a large range of water elements in the air, the steam instantly exploded, forming a white mist gradually enveloping the Demon Beast Forest.
Alice initially set the miniature puppets in the air, yet the spreading mist soon physically obscured the puppets’ view, and a new round of explosions commenced.
At this moment, Alice realized the severity of the problem, she quickly lowered the puppets’ altitude, successfully halting the continued spread of the explosions.
However, by this time half of the Demon Beast Forest had already been destroyed in this explosion.
And because of the surge in magical beast disasters, a vast number of high-level magical beasts were actually active on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest, their deaths directly destroyed the foundation of forming a magical beast disaster.
