Chapter 3876 Power-Hungry Fish
Both sides still needed time to prepare for the upcoming assault on the Lake Continent held by the Phase Kingdom.
Out of all of the landmasses in Purgatory, the Lake Continent probably held at least 60 percent of all of the phasewater produced in this pocket space!
In fact, this was only the most conservative estimate made by the analysts. There was a high probability that it actually contained 80 percent or more of the total amount of phasewater reserves available to the fish-whale race!
There was so much phasewater on this continent that the very space around it wobbled all the time.
If not for the fact that the continent itself seemed to stabilize the surrounding space, the landmass would have long fractured apart!
Naturally, Ves wouldn't make the mistake of breaking open the Lake Continent only to find himself unable to take away his loot. The Golden Skull Alliance already prepared special containers and vessels that should be able to carry a certain amount of phasewater without inducing any damage.
If they happened to obtain more phasewater than what they could carry, then they could ask their temporary fish-whale allies to act as porters.
Time passed by as both sides got ready to launch an ambitious raid.
One of the biggest reasons why they needed to wait was because the Cerebral King was busy with implanting the newly-received power reactors into the bodies of its strongest and most elite fish-whales.
Each creature that emerged out of the underground lab compound looked as if they had all been reborn.
None of their bodies showed any signs of rejection. In fact, they looked as if they were plants that were previously deprived of light but suddenly gained access to open skies!
Now, they just needed to gain a lot of water to further their growth even further. Each of the Evolver fish-whales looked hungrily in the direction of the Lake Continent.
The atmosphere around the humans and the Evolvers became more charged as they mentally got ready to fight a major battle.
Neither of the groups were stupid. They both knew that this would be a hard battle. The Phase Kingdom had managed to survive the survival game for so long because of the destructive abilities of its members.
They were so good at cracking and warping the physical dimensions that it was not advisable to attack them with melee mechs!
Letting them get close just made it easier for the Phaser fish-whales to mop them up en masse.
The safest way to attack the powerful creatures was to attack them from afar with spread ranged mechs. As long as the machines did not crowd around each other too much, the efficiency of enemy area attacks was much reduced.
However, this was not a proper way to attack the Phase Kingdom at all. The Cerebral King already told Ves that the Evolvers attempted to attack the Lake Continent by relying on massed ranged attacks.
None of these attempts succeeded!
The Phaser fish-whales were not only proficient at attacking, but were also good at erecting shields!
As long as enough of them generated overlapping shields, virtually no ranged attack could get through!
The only way to break apart the strong defenses was to flood the shields with a huge amount of charging fish-whales. The price to do so was too great so the Cerebral King never thought about attacking the Phase Kingdom anymore.
It wasn't until the humans presented it with another chance that the king fish reconsidered its decision, but that didn't mean it was ready to launch an immediate assault!
It was time for the humans to prove that they were able to enact a realistic plan to assault the Lake Continent without suffering an excessive amount of casualties.
As the Everchanger and the Cerebral King gathered together again, the latter already looked as if it had been reborn!
While the other Evolvers such as the bladed fish-whale and the silver fish-whale all looked pumped up due to the addition of their new power reactors, the difference was much greater with the king fish!
Out of all of the recently-augmented fish-whales, the Cerebral King obtained the most powerful human gift!
"This big fish…" Venerable Joshua frowned as he studied the sensor readings. "It's as if we are approached by a volcano that is ready to set off at any time. There is so much dormant power hidden in its body!"
It was not a surprise for him to develop this impression. The Cerebral King of now was not the same as the Cerebral King of before.
Ves roughly compared the king fish's situation to an extremely powerful hybrid mech like the Bolvos Rage.
The biggest difference was that the Cerebral King's previous situation was too unbalanced. The Organ Forge allowed it to develop a lot of powerful organs, each of which was capable of converting energy into useful output.
Whether it was launching devastating attacks or generating formidable shields, the Cerebral King possessed a lot of different options, each of which was enough to tilt the outcome of a battle in its favor.
The biggest issue was that all of those king-grade organs were power hogs!
It couldn't be helped. Everything had a price, and the Lab Continent's lack of resources made it difficult for the Cerebral King to feed all of its hungry organs.
Now, this shortcoming was no longer as big of an issue as before. Out of all of the assets that humanity relied upon, starships were definitely among the most potent and powerful of them all. Many of them required enormous power reactors just to keep them running!
Although the Golden Skull Alliance only handed over the smallest starship-grade power reactor that it had on hand, the energy output of this large component far exceeded that of a mech!
One of the reasons why the Cerebral King appeared to be brimming with suppressed energy was because it was steadily nurturing all of its powerful but starved organs.
The king fish no longer had to operate as if it was put into a low power mode anymore! With the abundant amount of energy produced by a ship reactor, it had turned from a homeless beggar into a wealthy business overnight!
SATISFACTION. POWER REACTOR GOOD. EVOLUTION PLAN HALF-COMPLETE. GRATITUDE TO HUMANS. MUST ATTACK GODBLOOD KING. MUST OBTAIN GODBLOOD. MUST COMPLETE EVOLUTION PLAN.
