Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 703: Chapter 697: The Birth of the Strongest Defense

”It’s that Nine-headed Flood Dragon, it seems to be fighting with someone!”

Even from a distance, Lin You and the others could feel two powerful auras clashing in the sky. They all looked shocked.

Because faintly, they even saw a part of the sky collapsing, turning into a terrifying void black hole.

This is within the Divine Realm.

The spatial stability is almost ten thousand times that of the Lower Realm!

Even so, the aftershocks of the battle can destroy it. How powerful must these beings be?

”Old fellow, aren’t you supposed to stay in your Divine Kingdom? How dare you rampage on my territory?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice exploded in the sky.

Lin You’s expression changed immediately, recognizing the voice as Jiu Ying’s.

Is he battling someone from the Divine Kingdom?

”Could the one fighting with that Nine-headed Flood Dragon be that person who came with the Divine Child?” the Dragon Emperor said seriously.

To battle Jiu Ying head-on, one’s strength must be at least Tier Fourteen or above.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Kingdom’s team still has such a terrifying existence.

Fortunately, Jiu Ying has targeted them; otherwise, just this one person could wipe out their entire army without a chance to counterattack.

”It should be the one who came together,” the Saint Emperor immediately added, ”But seeing it like this, that Nine-headed Flood Dragon shouldn’t allow him to act freely within the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm, so we’re temporarily safe.”

”That’s good, as long as they don’t target us.”

The other Great Emperors all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Dealing with the Pantheon and the Divine Child’s followers alone already exhausted them. If another Celestial God-level powerhouse appeared, the hopes of the Ten Thousand Realms might be completely extinguished here.

This made them feel grateful.

Fortunately, Lin You’s relationship with the Demon Race prevented the threat of high-tier lords.

Jiu Ying obviously wouldn’t allow those Celestial God-level powerhouses to rampage on his territory; otherwise, where would the face of the Demon Race go?

”The Divine Kingdom came prepared this time. It seems we need to hurry up and improve our strength. By the way, Lin You, you must have successfully leveled up, right?”

After confirming that the battle wouldn’t spread to their side, the Dragon Emperor retracted his gaze and looked toward Lin You.

The other Great Emperors, seeing this, also turned their gaze to Lin You.

The vision caused by his recent True God ascension startled them.

Looking around at the wilderness, even the life aura that had just scattered caused a surge of plant growth, covering the entrance to the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm with a layer of green.

”Yes, I’ve successfully leveled up, but there are still a few things I haven’t figured out,” Lin You nodded and said.

”What things?”

”It’s about the power level increase at Tier Thirteen and the number of Royal Species.”

At Tier Thirteen, which places them as True Gods, although this level is not scarce in the Divine Realm, it is still significantly less than Tier Twelve.

The difficulty of obtaining Law Crystal Stones of the same level naturally increases, and the speed of power leveling will slow down considerably.

This is a natural outcome.

As for the number of Royal Species, he now essentially has two territories, so shouldn’t he have double the Royals?

”Power increase and number of Royals?”

The Dragon Emperor rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

”We’ve only recently leveled up to Tier Thirteen, so we don’t know much, but it’s certain that the power increase at this level mainly relates to the Original World.”

”Original World?”

”Yes, after ascending to Tier Thirteen, the Original World begins to nurture life. The higher the life level within, the stronger the lord, and the higher the level will rise.”

”So does this mean Lin You has an advantage in this aspect? His space has so many lords from the Ten Thousand Realms,” a Great Emperor chimed in from the side.

With these words, everyone was first taken aback, then their eyes lit up.

”You’re right, that’s possible.”

”The Ten Thousand Realms is originally the Origin World of the Main Gods, so theoretically, Lin You should gain this power and directly rise to a Level 10 True God.”

The Dragon Emperor fixed his gaze on Lin You, simultaneously puzzled.

Because now Lin You, like him, is only a Level 1 True God.

Could this assumption be incorrect?

Even Lin You himself was very perplexed.

Since a lord’s power is linked to the life level within the Original World, he indeed shouldn’t be only a Level 1 True God.

Could it be...

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression turned uncertain.

At this moment, the Dragon Emperor’s voice continued: ”As for the number of Royal Species, I heard from other passing True Gods that it seems to be affected by the lord’s level, that you can only have as many Royals as your level.”

”However, having more than one Royal at Tier Thirteen is already exceptionally rare, mostly dominated by Extraordinary Species.”

Saying this, the Dragon Emperor couldn’t help but glance at Lin You.

Perhaps throughout the Divine Realm, only someone like Lin You, at this level, managed to acquire twelve Royal Species.

If this were to spread, it might cause quite a stir.

After all, having even one Royal makes you one of the top True Gods; not to mention having so many?

Unfortunately.

Lin You didn’t notice his gaze, as he was engrossed in the Dragon Emperor’s words.

The number affected by the lord’s level applies to those with only one territory.

But now he has two territories, and the result is uncertain.

Such cases are rare; a Main God-level Original World condensing a World Core is almost unheard of in the Divine Realm.

So the normal situation doesn’t necessarily apply to him.

The issue is, most of the Plant Type combat species have already mutated into Royals.

The remaining ones can’t be used due to level caps, such as the Planting Species at Tier Six, Equipment Species at Tier Nine.

There are also those with less favorable skill effects and weaker combat ability, like the sound-transmitting trumpet flowers and the intimidating Tree Demons.

Even if they become Royals, they wouldn’t provide much enhancement.

Thus, he anticipated fifteen Royals at Tier Fifteen would already be the most suitable number; anything more would be merely icing on the cake.

Unless he could gather species with skill strength equivalent to the current twelve Royals.

Then the question arises.

What should his thirteenth royal family mutate into?

Or rather, what is he lacking to maximize his role in the upcoming Divine Country Lords’ attack?

This is what he should be thinking about now.

After all, at the speed of Tier Thirteen, it takes just over half a day to travel from the Pantheon to here.

After the three Divine Country Lords fled back, the Divine Child will surely not let it go, sending more people to hunt them down.

At the shortest, two days; at the longest, three to five days.

They will definitely have to face the Divine Country Lords once again.

”Forget it, let’s not discuss this now; let’s hurry back to improve our strength.”

The Dragon Emperor, aware of the impending crisis, said no more, mounted the Golden Giant Dragon, and flew back to his territory on a mountain peak.

The other Great Emperors, upon seeing this, also dispersed with heavy hearts, disappearing in no time.

”Let’s go, it’s time to add new members.”

Lin You leapt onto the back of the Hidden Dragon, soared over the forest, and returned to his territory.

Then he went to the World Tree, starting to prepare matters concerning the thirteenth royal family, and at the same time trying to see if he could acquire more royal families.

[Recruiting Tier Ten ”Lucky Four-leaf Clover” requires consuming 1 piece of Tier Ten Law Crystal Stone. Would you like to continue?]

This time, he chose the Lucky Four-leaf Clover as the mutation embryo.

He found that aside from the Cyan Gang’s Ancient Tree Legion, all other species were offensive and auxiliary types, with weak front-line defense.

When facing massive enemy attacks, relying solely on a single defensive species would be challenging, with significant drawbacks.

So he decided to strengthen the front-line defense.

He had already accumulated many Tier Ten Law Crystal Stones in his personal space, perfectly suited for mutating Tier Ten species.

Once mutated into a royal family, then he’ll upgrade it further.

”Recruit.”

Upon hearing this, a swaying four-leaf clover appeared in front of him, enveloped in a glow.

Lin You calmed his mind and began using the mutation ability on it.

[Mutating Tier Ten species requires consuming 1 Law Crystal Stone. Would you like to continue?]

”Continue.”

[Please choose which skills and attributes to retain.]

”Keep Physique Protection, attributes random.”

Species like the Four-leaf Clover and Multiplication Grass are special, with attributes only half that of the same level. Even at Tier Thirteen, it’s only 25 million, not worth retaining.

But Physique Protection is different.

Thirteen-tier Physique Protection can directly enhance 50% of constitution, and its skill effect is terrifying, making it the first choice for defensive species.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four-leaf clover in front of him was wrapped in light and began to change rapidly.

[Congratulations, mutation successful, species potential elevated to Rare Level.]

[Current Species: Spirit-devouring Flower (Rare)]

...

Mutation failed.

Lin You’s expression remained unchanged.

After deporting it, he recruited a new four-leaf clover and continued the mutation.

For this mutation ability, he had gained enough insight, moving fluidly without a hitch.

With each prompt, the species kept replacing in front of him.

Finally, after nearly 4000 mutations, a distinct prompt sounded.

[Congratulations, mutation successful, hidden skill effect triggered, species potential elevated to Royal Family.]

[Current Species: Iron Wall Nut (Royal Family)]

Iron Wall Nut?

High-tier form of Nut Species?

Lin You was slightly stunned, a trace of joy flashing in his eyes.

Though he didn’t mutate into harder plants like ”Iron Tree” or ”Sword Wood”, the Nut Species was still a good choice.

Especially its Attack Absorption, a very good rescue skill.

He promptly took the new royal family to the previously established Hero Pool, using Law Crystal Stones to convert it into a heroic species.

Then he used various levels of Law Crystal Stones to upgrade it to Tier Thirteen, and a brand new attribute interface appeared in front of Lin You.

[Name: Iron Wall Nut (Royal Family)]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Thirteen]

[Strength: 45 million]

[Constitution: 75 million]

[Agility: 25 million]

[Spirit: 45 million]

[Skills: Physique Protection (Passive, Basic Physical Attribute increased by 50%)

Rolling Crush (Expands body size by 10 times, Agility increased by 100%, rolls back and forth within 1-kilometer range, crushes enemies, dealing 120% of Strength Attribute damage, consumes 5% Power of Nature per second.)

Earth Escape (In life-threatening situations, immediately burrows underground to escape, immune to all damage for 10 seconds, effectiveness reduced against those with higher Spirit.)

Attack Absorption (Forcibly absorbs all attacks within a 1-kilometer range, reduces received damage by 50%, lasts 10 seconds.)

Iron Wall Reflection (Passive, reflects 50% of attack back to attacker when attacked, reflects 100% when activating ”Gigantification” and ”Attack Absorption”.)]

[Iron Wall Legion (Talent): All Nut Species receive the effect, reflecting 25% of received attacks]

[Introduction: The hardest nut inside, body can freely enlarge, astonishing defense, dubbed the battlefield Death War Chariot.]

This.

Is the basic attributes of the new royal family without the territory enhancement...
