As night gradually deepened, aside from the occasional sound of flying creatures flapping their wings in the air, everything seemed to quiet down.
Most people had gone to rest; this was a habit that had not changed for many years in the apocalypse. Even when they reached a certain level, sleep was no longer a necessity.
The bonfire was still burning, but it was not as vigorous as before. Ye Da Yuan, Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and Guangyao sat together.
“Ye, the Loki Cross, is its effect against the demon whale... limited?” Guangyao hesitated for a moment but still voiced his doubts.
If the Loki Cross could inflict fatal damage on the demon whale, there would be no need to send a squad to face the naga tactical legion head-on.
With three Loki Crosses, even if each only hit once in the entire battle, it should be enough to injure the demon whale, right? With Yangos, the Red Hair undead fish dragon, and Wang Hanran's Yang Feng left behind at Cloud Summit after his death, these four top-tier beings capable of contending with the demon whale in the sky could easily attempt to ambush it without much interference from the sea beasts.
As long as the demon whale was dead, the threat from the sea beast legion would be reduced by half, which would guarantee victory for Cloud Summit.
However, at that moment, Guangyao truly felt the concern emanating from Ye Da Yuan and Xia Lei.
Ye Da Yuan squinted his eyes, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation in the night. Upon hearing Guangyao's question, he simply waved his hand.
“The demon whale is a creature that surpasses all types of mutated life we have seen; in some ways... it's like the Holy Father.”
Everyone was taken aback for a moment and then fell silent.
Guangyao had not experienced that battle, but he had heard many accounts of it in detail. That was when he learned about the early battles at Cloud Summit. The battle in the Blue Secret Realm can be said to have truly laid a solid foundation for Cloud Summit, providing strategic depth even after the Secret Realm was destroyed, offering massive resources and many excellent warriors.
Now, the Blue Squad and the Sanctuary Squad were also the backbone of the entire Cloud Summit team system.
All of this was based on the premise of having killed the Holy Father.
“Absorbing the power of space, or rather, the primordial power of the universe to enhance oneself not only changes the body but also alters other abilities.” Ye Da Yuan pointed at the undead fish dragon lying nearby like a small hill and said, “Having inherited the Nine-Winged Crow's legacy and having a partner like Red Hair who shares the same intentions, yet when facing the demon whale, it was struck down by a massive water vortex.”
“This ability can also be used by other top-tier beings, but in terms of power, it seems to be on a different level compared to the demon whale.”
“This is the application of the primordial power of the universe.”
As Ye Da Yuan spoke, he looked at Xia Lei.
“Last time, Zhong Ming mentioned that in the sky, all races of the universe were represented by fuleira in terms of strength. He said that a newly ascended nine-star evolver could only have a few hundred fuleira at most. So tell me, how many fuleira does this demon whale possess?”
Of course, no one could answer this question, but that did not stop them from understanding what Ye Da Yuan was implying.
The demon whale was progressing down a path they had yet to perceive; perhaps its speed was not fast, but it had already surpassed them.
In this regard, without any guidance, mutated life forms indeed had an easier time finding their way than evolvers.
After all, the evolvers on Earth were still in a restricted phase, evolving with the help of external forces.
“So, even though theoretically, I believe the Loki Cross can inflict damage on the demon whale, the short time from development to manufacture can already be described as a miracle. However, I fear we might not be able to keep up with the growth rate of the demon whale.”
