“...”
Elise used the hive mind to cram countless bits of acquired information into her massive brain. She shifted her crossed legs and fell into deep thought.
This was one of the habits she had developed after losing her antennae.
The acquired technology cannot be replicated at present.
The reason for Elise's worry was the unique nature of the Spirit-Tech from the elven civilization.
The factions in the Lucadia Empire who dreamed of victory through their magical civilization had tailored their magic technology to the human body. As a result, Lictors could only be created and use magic normally after devouring human genes. The situation was the same for Spirit-Tech.
Spirit-Tech was a composite civilization that the elves created by fusing Elven God magic, magic power, and mechanical devices.
Fusion was a realm that could never be reached without fully understanding its constituent materials.
Therefore, with Elise's current capabilities, completely stealing the Prism Cannon and its abilities was still far from possible.
But what can I do? I have no way of providing elven genes...
Lin Miao also understood her worries and sighed softly.
Since she could only prey upon and analyze food containing interference force, Lin Miao's presence was indispensable.
The problem was that no matter how hard Lin Miao tried, he could not provide the genes of foreign races that did not exist on Earth.
【Elise is looking for other methods.】
Thus, Elise decided to focus on what she could do right now.
Because among the subjects modified by the elves using Spirit-Tech, humans—who were a foreign race to the elves—were also included.
“This is the spell formula for implanting magic stones into human bodies.”
“...Understood.”
Lisette looked at the spell formula shown by the technicians and nodded.
Obviously, she did not understand a single word.
However, the moment Elise saw the spell formula through her eyes, she memorized it completely. She possessed the ability and knowledge to understand and apply this spell formula.
“Extra armaments are feasible.”
“Our forces already possess the excellent technology of magic hearts processed through heart-fusing worms. Although the reinforcement formula utilizing magic stones is not enough to replace the magic heart... if we combine the two, the effect will be even better.”
Elise saw the possibility in this.
Celia was also convinced that if the reinforcement formula—one of the greatest temptations the elves offered to the foreign race units—was applied to the Great Devourer colony, it would produce a massive synergistic effect with their existing magic hearts.
“Is that the second batch of heart-fusing worms bred for this purpose? Since they can create much smaller things, let's call them Beta.”
Lin Miao looked at the massive larvae newly grown under Elise's instructions and smiled slightly.
They were individuals born to manufacture reinforcement stones that were much smaller than magic hearts.
They would consume the massive magic stones Lin Miao placed in the terrarium, breaking them down and processing them inside their bodies into tiny reinforcement stones. These reinforcement stones would serve as external power sources additionally equipped for individuals of Tyrant grade and above.
“S-So, is it over now?”
“No, unfortunately, what Her Majesty the Queen wants us to do is far more than just this.”
The elves, who had been teaching Spirit-Tech to the Great Devourer, were bewildered when they heard Lisette say this was not all.
“Oh my god...”
Following Lisette outside, they were stunned when they saw the scene in the distance, instantly freezing in place.
Behind the massive Great Devourer nest, an exceptionally gigantic, turtle-shaped Tyrant was moving with something on its back. On its broad, hard carapace was none other than...
...the very Prism Cannon they had seized from the elves.
This object carried Elise's will.
Since they could not yet completely deconstruct and analyze this technology to make it their own, they would simply use the weapon they had captured from the enemy directly.
Sarel, is the future you desired truly like this?
Lisette folded her wings, landing softly in front of the Prism Cannon, and gazed at the gradually approaching Great Forest with a complicated expression.
Memories of years gone by flashed rapidly through her mind.
Those were memories of a past she could never return to, but which she had to save, even if only a part of it.
“The Great Forest is in danger!”
“We must summon all the legions immediately.”
The news of Virgil's death, the collapse of his legion, and the Great Devourer using the captured Prism Cannon as their vanguard to push through the former Kingdom of Bartonia and head straight for the Great Forest shocked the entire Elven Empire.
The Central Council was also deeply shaken. To protect their homeland and the Great Forest where the World Tree resided, they hurriedly took action.
Even if it meant abandoning the northern front battle, which they had pushed forward with great difficulty.
Unsurprisingly, the Great Devourer did not miss this opportunity and launched a massive counteroffensive.
Perhaps this will be the last time.
Lin Miao instinctively realized that it was time to bring their long contest with the Elven Empire to a close.
The elves had already squeezed out power far beyond their limits.
Even Lisette had been forced to become a holy warrior and driven as a consumable; such an act would never have been committed unless they had absolutely no strength left.
After the elves, the only ones left will be the beastkin and dwarven forces in the northwest.
Thanks to the scouts Elise sent to explore deep, Lin Miao knew exactly what the planet of Terra looked like.
If the Elven Empire, which occupied the southern part of the continent, collapsed, there would be no other forces left.
At most, only a small number of indigenous people scattered in remote areas would remain.
He had absolutely no reason to care about those who did not even know how this world operated.
So, what comes next?
This was also the reason why he could not truly smile with satisfaction.
The Great Devourer needed opponents to fight and devour.
Learning through battle, absorbing by devouring enemies—this was their very essence.
Before clearing all enemies from this land, Lin Miao had to find a solution.
