The moment the black dragon approached the weapon of the Demon Colossus, Elena jumped off the black dragon's back with great force.
She held a magic spear in her hand, but she couldn't fight against the entire colossus with just one spear, even if it was a demon colossus that was constantly gushing blood and looked on the verge of collapse.
After all, it was the product of the twisted fusion of dozens of high-level demons. Since demons could fuse, they could naturally split when faced with danger.
But due to the impact of the previous obelisk shooting, the demon colossus suffered serious damage...
These damages, along with the penetration of magic crystals, brought countless pains to high-level demons.
Although it doesn't seem to be as fast as the recovery speed of high-level demons themselves, it exudes the aura of artificial magic, and that is enough.
So what Elena has to do is very simple: she has to use the artificial magic energy in the body of the demon colossus to forcibly create a "bomb" inside the colossus.
(The size of the bomb is enough. But if it does, those high-level demons...)
She thrust her spear into the colossus's interior. As purple blood flowed out, she felt her spear hit something hard—the crystal of magic that had penetrated into the demon colossus's body.
It was at this moment that she felt a gust of wind coming from behind her. Without caring about what was happening behind her, Elena chose to use the magic spear as a catalyst, using it to directly interact with the magic crystals formed by artificial magic instead of her own hands.
She was trying to create artificial magic into a powerful bomb, and the demons noticed this. Whether they were larvae or high-level demons burned by flames, they were all trying frantically to get close to Elena.
Even the demon mother was emitting bursts of shrill howls in an attempt to interfere with Elena's work - but all these things were blocked by the huge black dragon.
"I never thought that there would be a day like this - I would have to endure the indiscriminate bombardment of friendly forces, protect a little girl, and accept a group beating from the enemy?! Even if I work for free, there must be a limit, right?!"
The black dragon roared and sprayed the third breath of dragon in front of her, forming a large inverted cone-shaped burning area in front of her. She then rushed sideways and knocked a high-level demon that was dangerously close to the ground.
The demon's special ability hit the black dragon, which was almost immune to magic, and other than making Nia feel a little nauseous, it did not cause any actual harm at all.
After she wantonly trampled on the flesh of this high-level demon and used her claws to dig the opponent's heart out of the burnt armor, Nia suddenly realized something.
(The rapid evolution of these demons is in some sense the fault of the United Nations, right?!)
She flapped her wings and used wind pressure to blow some of the demon larvae into the fire. (If the Kingdom of Eden remained in its original state, then the evolution speed of the demons should be the same as that of Eden... Rather than saying that the demons had such potential from the beginning, it is better to say that the intervention of the United Kingdom gave the demons the ability to learn?)
Demons don't seem to have the ability to create - at least now, Nia doesn't feel that demons have any creative ability.
They began to imitate the dragon scale structure on Nia's body, seemingly intending to evolve stronger physical resistance under the bombardment of the United Nations.
They began to evolve by imitating the appearance of black dragons. Although most high-level demons would become charred pieces of meat in the flames, there were indeed some high-level demons that managed to evolve into the form of dragons and planned to fly into the sky with their newly born wings.
Their imitation is very lifelike.
But Nia couldn't see any ability to "create" in them - they could think about the use of the structures on the enemy, but if they were to do it themselves, they simply didn't have the ability to create new things...
So here comes the question.
In this case, how did the so-called "magic-feeding" organs evolve
(No way... Don't think the same as I do...)
Nia was sweating profusely as she used her claws to tear open the flesh of the high-level demon who was fighting with her and was extremely weakened by the fire.
She tore open the demon's chest, dug out its heart, and finally found something like a "stomach" down to its base. A limp stomach and intestines.
After pulling out the stomach and intestines, Nia saw a magical organ... an organ that was obviously not something that could have evolved from any living thing.
"Elena?! You Eden people - how do you Eden people use magic - I mean, can you Eden people survive just by absorbing magic?!"
The black dragon asked loudly, trying to make Elena hear his question clearly amid the constant gunfire and howling. "In short, do you need to eat?!"
"Question: Why are you asking this in this situation? But we don't need it." Elena frowned. After creating the fourth bomb through magic crystallization, she set the bomb's timed detonation timer to 30 seconds later.
"In our Edenian bodies, we have an artificial organ that absorbs man-made magic to restore energy. It is more efficient than traditional eating."
"Is it one of those octahedrons? The kind with all those tubes wrapped around it?"
"Sure. How did you—"
"Because demons also have this in their bodies?!"
The black dragon showed Elena what he had just dug out. Elena made a surprised "ha" sound and then jumped onto the black dragon's back in one step.
The black dragon rose into the sky under the fire of friendly forces. They no longer had time to deal with the demon's reactor, and they had to leave here before the demon colossus exploded.
Elena sat on the black dragon's back, looking at the thing she had just taken from it before jumping up.
It was an unnatural octahedral structure "generated" by the demon itself.
The Eden people's magic puppets have similar structures in their bodies. Their scientific name is "magic absorber", which allows the Eden people to obtain the necessary energy for body activities by absorbing artificial magic without eating, and the efficiency of absorbing energy is much higher than regular eating.
When fighting against demons a long, long time ago, many magic dolls' bodies were destroyed.
Not all bodies will be completely destroyed. During the thousands of years of fighting, except for a period of dormancy when the demons hibernate in the later period, there must be many magic puppets whose internal organs are still intact after being damaged.
If one body is not enough, then the second or third one can be used.
The demons can always gather together a whole corpse of a magic puppet, and can always piece together complete organs. Naturally, they may be able to analyze the purpose of certain organs...
"bump-"
Thirty seconds later, the demon colossus behind them made a violent explosion. The azure light illuminated the backs of Elena and the black dragon.
They flew silently in the air, while the belated Hippogriff Knights dragged heavy bombs towards the demon's nest.
On the ground, Golem and the coalition forces also approached the entrance of the valley. The remaining demon larvae and demon larvae were no match for the coalition forces at all, and were soon suppressed by the coalition forces' firepower and unable to move, and were finally executed one by one.
Elena was still looking at the demon organ in her hand. She poked open the organ's skin with her hands expressionlessly, and sure enough, she found a familiar structure inside.
The magic flows inside and is finally "digested" into pure energy - the demons did not create organs that can feed on the magic-endowed environment. They... are poor imitators, plagiarists, and shameless pirated manufacturers.
"Relax: The demon's magic absorption organs are less efficient than ours... I may have figured out why the battle against the demons becomes more difficult as the war progresses.
They don't create, but instead, they are very good at imitating evolution...
The most threatening evolutionary ability of demons comes from their ability to learn. In a sense, if we can maintain our original posture to fight demons, then demons will always maintain their original posture... They will never be able to complete their evolution on their own. The reason why they invade other worlds is to learn the knowledge of different worlds and then imitate them... "
Just like on Earth, a group of college students who only know how to copy homework chose to copy the correct answers in order to graduate. In order to evolve, the demons naturally chose to "copy the correct answers".
The magic absorption organs of the Kingdom of Eden are like this, and the dragon scales and appearances of some high-level demons that have evolved now are similar to those of black dragons. The wheel demons refer to the structure of the extremely fast carriages in the human world, the jet demons imitate the gun structure of the United Kingdom, and the shield-breaking demons...
Elena suspected that it was a creation imitating golems.
It's just that the demons added too many demonic details during the copying process, so the people of Eden didn't realize that they had no creativity at all.
In a sense, as long as one's civilization is primitive enough, the most threatening evolution of demons will not be a problem.
But on the other hand—
"If you had maintained the original structure, the demons would have destroyed you long ago, right?"
The black dragon sighed and carried Elena towards the rear of the coalition forces where Yang Hao and others were.
"The paradox is here... If our civilization is primitive, the demons can easily kill us without evolving - but if our civilization is advanced, the demons can also learn from us...
After all, copying homework is always easier than writing it yourself. In order to prevent the demons from learning, we must kill them before they learn our technology..."
"Sure. But we can't kill the demon mother right away. The sheer numbers alone make it impossible."
"Maybe it's just that the yield is not big enough? If we had a whole floating continent-sized... a specialty of the United Nations called "explosive ore", I think the demons would be blown to death as soon as they landed, right?"
“Confused: What should we do then?”
"That's another story."
Although I have figured out the nature of the demons.
But the situation is still not optimistic.
They each had their own thoughts and moved towards the direction where Yang Hao and others were.
While in the sky above the demon nest that was under indiscriminate bombing, the Hippogriff Knights dragged heavy bombs above the nest. They looked at the nest below that was covered with dense demon larvae and fell into deep thought.
"I say, our bombs should cause physical damage during the "falling" process, right?" A Hippogriff Knight said, "In this case, the magic-resistant skin on its body should not be a problem... But with so many demon larvae wrapped around it, can our bombs successfully damage the core of the mother body?"
"Of course we can. If we throw one bomb after another, and each time we throw it into the hole created by the previous bomb, wouldn't that kill the mothership?"
"And there's golem artillery support on the surface... OK! Let's get started!"
The Hippogriff Knights lined up, and after the captain, the rider, shouted wildly and launched the first round of dive bombing, the attack on the Demon Matrix itself officially began.
In order to avoid being killed directly by the Colossus' weapons, the Demon Matrix not only evolved a large amount of anti-magic skin on its body, but also allowed countless demon larvae that also evolved anti-magic skin to cover its body, forming a thick "external armor" to ensure that it is completely immune to magic attacks.
But the problem is that this time it needs to face an alien object weighing 500 kilograms.
This heavy thing, which could create a hole even if it fell from a height of two stories, lost its restraint at a height of several hundred meters and finally, under the drag of gravity, hit the armor belt composed of larvae above the demon mother at an increasingly faster speed.
The delayed fuse did not explode directly after the first collision. Under the influence of weight and speed, the bomb first smashed the body of the demon larva, drilled a hole that was not noticeable compared to the huge body of the demon mother, and finally hit the surface of the demon mother before exploding.
The moment the tip touched the demon mother's skin, it exploded.
The violent magical reaction did not cause much damage to the demon mother's skin, which was completely immune to magic.
But it blew away the surrounding demon larvae and determined a bombing route for the Hippogriff Knights above that would directly reach deep into the demon mother's body.
They whistled, and before the demon mother evolved into a hard armor, the second bomb flew out of their hands, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth...
Not all bombs could accurately hit the finger circle created by the first bomb, but those bombs that successfully hit the surface of the demon mother body invariably penetrated the mother's anti-magic skin under their weight, and after penetrating deeply into the mother's body, they caused rounds of deafening muffled sounds.
The demon mother's skin is immune to damage from magical weapons.
But that doesn't mean the flesh, blood and internal organs inside the demon mother can withstand the explosion of a magic bomb.
As the mother howled in despair before dying, its body gradually began to take on an unnatural blue glow.
After the last magic bomb entered the interior of the mother body through the huge pit of flesh and blood that was smashed out, the demon mother body, which had lost the protection of high-level demons, finally died completely in the last round of explosions directly near the brain.
“We did it!”
"I fucking love the feeling of dropping objects from high altitudes! Next time we must ask the logistics department to come up with something similar!"
The Hippogriff Knights cheered for their achievements and celebrated the arrival of the destined victory.
On the ground, the coalition's surface forces successfully entered the valley that had been turned into a purgatory by the bombardment at the moment the demon matrix was destroyed.
They killed every demon, and the demons seemed to have completely lost their wisdom after losing the command of the mother body.
They struggled madly, and even after being shot to death, they still tried to attack the coalition soldiers who were close at hand.
But the demons have completely failed. They may have tried very hard to evolve, but they don't have much time to evolve, nor do they have much of an upper limit to their evolution.
The restrictions that the demon species imposes on individuals make them show their limitations when facing mixed forces.
Perhaps the original demons were only this powerful at best—but there was no guarantee that the new demons that emerged the next time would be as weak as their predecessors.
The intelligent life in this world still needs to stand firm when facing the invasion of demons.
…
An hour later.
The original demon population on the floating continent has been completely wiped out - everyone who participated in the war finally came to this conclusion.
After the battle they dealt with the corpses of the demons, trying to make them more useful before they decayed.
The scene was handed over to the commander of the coalition forces, while Yang Hao and others returned to the library. Looking at the burning obelisk in front of the library, he shook his head and asked Elena beside him:
"Can this thing be repaired?"
Elena shook her head and pointed at the magic puppets that were putting out the fire.
"Denied. Once the Colossus weapon is destroyed, it will enter a permanent burning state. After we used magic to forcibly extinguish the flames, the entire internal structure became a mess... Instead of repairing it, it is better to spend time to build a new one. At least this will be better."
"I see. Then let's move on to the summary of this war."
"affim… "
They returned to the meeting room where they had held the negotiation. The difference was that this time, Elena was covered in dust and looked not as elegant as she had been in the previous meeting.
Heilong lay on the table and said tiredly that she had done a great job this time - if Yang Hao was unwilling to add some money, she would not help Yang Hao in the future.
For a moment, Yang Hao wanted to say, "Don't you care about Isgard's feelings?"
He kept talking back and forth, but seeing that Nia was really exhausted, he finally just smiled and said that he would give Ishugard more rewards to show the black dragon's efforts.
After the greetings, everyone naturally started working on the post-war summary.
After a day of fighting, the United Nations had used up all the ammunition that would have taken the country three months to produce.
For a long time to come, the United Nations will have to recuperate and ensure sufficient supply of ammunition before planning to invade Roman from the south.
In addition to the consumption of ammunition, in terms of casualties, the United Nations had about 4,000 people injured -
Most of them were slightly injured, and those seriously injured who might have died were able to hold on to their lives with the help of the high-proportion elves. They only needed to rest in Caparia for a few days before they could return to their posts under the healing of the elves' magic.
In terms of logistics, in addition to the consumption of ammunition, some guns were also damaged due to the fierce fighting - the best among them was naturally the GAP 1405 heavy machine gun.
Heavy machine guns almost always have problems with bursting or melting of the barrel after long periods of continuous firing.
