Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1220 Mithril Mech
Not only Tiangong's small circle, but also several other small circles formed by the other Gaia princes were closely following this expedition to the Pure White Mountains.

Many people harbored dark thoughts, hoping that the Steel Heart team would suffer a major setback in the Pure White Mountains.

This is human nature.

Since arriving on the Prince's Star, Bai Pu has been incredibly intimidating and has aroused a great deal of envy.

Bai Pu was well aware of this.

But he doesn't care what others think; he will only follow his own predetermined plan and proceed step by step.

……

Pure white mountain range, core area, Thousand Peaks Mountain.

Steep, sword-shaped peaks rise straight into the clouds.

These sword-shaped peaks are almost all formed by natural mixtures of metals, with silver as the main component, mixed with other metals such as stainless steel, iron, and gold.

Occasionally, one can discover rare psionic metal deposits, such as mithril, adamantite, and copper...

After passing through the Baigang Forest, Bai Pu and his group entered Qianfeng Mountain.

Soon, everyone had the illusion of being disoriented.
"We've returned to the starting point for the third time..."

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Anmie shook his head helplessly.

"The magnetic field here is too chaotic, the scenery is too similar, and the light energy is too strong, forming a natural maze!"

Feng Shenxiu looked at Bai Pu, "Boss Gangxin, we can only rely on luck. The power core of the 'Mithril Mechs' in the core area is a mid-level rare treasure with both gold and light attributes. Let's see if we can encounter one or two."

Bai Pu shook his head and said, "No need to rely on luck, just follow me."

There were three forks in the road ahead. Bai Pu led the team directly and chose the rightmost one.

"The one on the far right looks like one I've walked through before..." Many people had doubts in their minds.

However, based on their trust in Bai Pu, everyone still followed.

After turning around a few times, a deep valley I had never seen before appeared before me.

"Huh, I've never been here before."

"Boss Steelheart, how did you find this path? It's completely counterintuitive!"

Bai Pu smiled slightly.

The natural maze of Qianfeng Mountain is indeed formidable. Even if you leave behind signs or magic sand, they will be quickly assimilated and erased by the abundant light energy here.

However, Bai Pu's powerful memory came in handy.

A map automatically appeared in his mind; he knew exactly where to go at each fork in the road and how many steps to take.

Those paths that seem to have been taken, those directions that seem like they should never have been chosen, are actually the paths that have never been taken before, leading to the deeper parts of the core area.

"Alright, that's enough... There are four mithril mechs in the deep valley ahead. Prepare for battle."

As they spoke, Bai Pu shared the information he had seen with the others through his Eye of Insight.

【Mithril Mech (Level 17)】

[Race: Elemental/Construct]

[Attributes: Strength 1000, Agility 600, Stamina 1000, Spirit 450]

【Skill 1: Resonance Field: Passive, Mithril Mechs gain 15% damage reduction from all types. Actively activate the Resonance Field, which reduces the movement speed, hit rate, and evasion of enemies within its range by (250) points.】

[Warning: When other Mithril Mechs are present on the battlefield, the passive and active effects of the Resonance Field will stack, up to a maximum of 5 stacks (requires 5 Mithril Mechs on the field simultaneously).]

【Skill 2: Mithril Armor: Passive. Due to the special properties of mithril, Mithril mechs gain 600 attack speed and (3000) extra armor.】

[Skills 3-6: ? ? ?]

The four mithril mechs in the deep valley had bodies covered in mithril armor plates that looked like flowing mercury, with blazing white light shining through the gaps.

They looked like figures of light clad in mithril armor.

"Four Mithril Mechs, with the Resonance Field stacked four times, granting 60% damage reduction against all types of enemies!"

Many of the Gaia princes breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were only four mithril mechs here. If there had been five, with a 75% damage reduction, they would have been much harder to deal with.

At this moment, the Mithril mech also discovered the intruder, and the "eyes" in the gaps of its head armor quickly emitted a red light after a moment of identification.

"Intruder detected. Attack!"

With a hum, the three mithril mechs simultaneously activated the active effect of "Resonance Field".

An invisible ripple of resonance swept over everyone's bodies.

Bai Pu felt as if his body was out of his control, like an ordinary person being electrocuted, his movements becoming stiffer. This manifested statistically as a 1000-point decrease in his speed, accuracy, and evasion!
Clearly, this is the control effect of a domain-specific skill like "Resonance Field".

Without equal combat ability, a speed reduction of 1000 points would be enough to make it difficult for an evolutionary like Bai Pu, who is not agile, to move an inch.

Feng Shenxiu and others launched a major confrontation, but their overall priority was only around 29 points.

而秘银机兵的共振场域，优先级高达31（26+5）点！仍能保留70%的控制效能，降低众人700点速度！

Apart from agility-based princes like those with the ability to move, the others were practically frozen in place, unable to move.

This illustrates the difficulty of the core area of ​​an A-level dangerous zone. Leaving aside the final boss, even the lord-level monsters derived from the Mithril Mech are extremely troublesome.

These derived lord-level monsters usually appear in clusters, and their abilities often complement each other, resulting in a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Coupled with the suppression of the town's domain or similar abilities, the Gaia princes, who were merely at the level of the Great Ruler, naturally found it extremely difficult.

The Mithril Mech is fully clad in Mithril armor. Mithril is characterized by being as light as a feather and as hard as dragon scales, which gives the Mithril Mech an extremely high speed bonus.

Despite not being agile monsters, they moved like the wind, their attacks flashing with silver light, leaving the Gaia princes no chance to dodge and causing them to be struck repeatedly!

"Boss Steelheart, it's all up to you!" Feng Shenxiu cried out for help. "Quickly form the formation!"

Bai Pu hummed in agreement and unleashed the power of all things.

Four totems lit up.

The Gaia princes had already rehearsed beforehand, and one after another, they integrated their immense energy into the corresponding Four Symbols totems.

The Grand Formation of Myriad Manifestations is deployed!

This time, it is even more powerful than the Myriad Manifestations Grand Formation of Red Luo Star.

Because there were more than ten princes and domain lord-level followers involved, not to mention the domain lord-level followers, the Gaia princes alone were all at the first-grade Grand Power level (single attribute), which already surpassed their time on Red Luo Star. Fortunately, Bai Pu had cultivated to a strong first-grade Grand Power level, which improved his own energy strength and computing power; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to maintain the formation.

Now, the rewards for maintaining the formation are also astonishing.

Originally, before the multipolar integration, the overall trend of the world was based on 30 points of real priority.

With the addition of numerous princes and domain lords, the priority of the Myriad Manifestations Grand Formation immediately increased by 3 points, reaching a high level of 33 true priority points!
Bai Pu even felt that he still had energy left. If he activated the multi-polar burst, or even the most basic bipolar burst, the priority of the Myriad Manifestations Grand Formation would definitely be raised again.

Now, 33 points of real priority is enough.

A vast, dark aura enveloped the battlefield.

The resonance field formed by the four Mithril mechs has been greatly reduced in power. The active effect that originally reduced speed by 1000 points has now reduced speed attribute by only 300 points.

Bai Pu's "All Things Might" also has a control effect attribute, and it can still retain 70% of its effectiveness in priority confrontation, causing the speed of the Mithril Mechs to drop by about 600 points, completely negating their speed bonus from "Mithril Armor".

Moreover, the Mithril Mech's 60% Resonance Field damage reduction, being a type of Town Domain affix, was also significantly weakened by Bai Pu's Myriad Manifestations Priority, leaving only 18% damage reduction.

This increase and decrease instantly revitalized the Gaia princes, who unleashed their energy and unleashed a variety of dazzling and powerful skills, bombarding the mithril mechs!

Even though the Mithril Mech has 3000 extra armor, which of the Gaia princes present hasn't trained in armor penetration passive energy skills?
A single attack can typically deal tens of thousands of damage, with critical hits dealing as much as one hundred thousand.

However, none of the Gaia princes were proud of it.

Because the harm done to Bai Pu was too terrifying.

Bai Pu's Myriad Manifestations Aura provides 55% dual penetration and also has the characteristic of "adaptive damage", which can switch to the target's weakest point in defense.

With 33 points of true priority, compared to the Mithril Mech's 26 points of true priority, it provides a 70% independent damage increase! Despite the Mithril Mech having a level 1 level advantage, the damage increase is still as much as 60%.

With each thrust of Bai Pu's spear, a dense, inky black light emerged. The energy of his Myriad Manifestations Qi automatically switched to the dark attribute, dealing hundreds of thousands of damage to the Mithril Mechs. A critical hit would result in damage exceeding three hundred thousand.

Even a Mithril mech with over two million health points cannot withstand such a violent attack.

Mithril mechs also have powerful counter-attack skills, such as high-speed thrusting with light spears, bombardment with chest-mounted light energy cannons, and defensive skills like [Prism Refraction], which can refract long-range energy projectiles.

One of the mithril mechs even unleashed its ultimate attack, [Annihilation Vortex], detonating its own psionic core and creating a vortex with a radius of tens of meters filled with destructive rays!
However, most of the counter-attack skills are only so-so.

No matter how fancy the skill is, the difference in "true priority" must be taken into account when calculating damage.

The Mithril Mechs have a true priority level 7 lower than White Pu. Excluding level suppression, they can only deal 40% of the damage.

Most of their basic attacks and skills have had their damage significantly reduced.

In other words, the ultimate move, [Nirvana Light Vortex], is a first-grade skill with a guaranteed priority of 32 points, which is why Bai Pu found it a little difficult to deal with, and his clothes became slightly dirty.

However, the other Gaia princes did not find it easy.

Before Bai Pu arrived on the Prince Star, they had also explored Class A dangerous areas and knew how terrifying the lords in the core area were.

This time, with Bai Pu leading the team, everything went smoothly.

Without Bai Pu's support, they would have been unable to defeat any of the four mithril mechs, even if they tried their best, and they themselves would have been in great danger.

One mithril mech after another fell.

The group looted energy cores from the corpses of the mithril mechs. These cores, called "Golden Crystals," were mid-level rare treasures from a celestial cave, possessing both gold and light attributes.

I got three in total, quite a haul.

Unfortunately, the mithril mech that self-destructed to unleash the [Annihilation Vortex] had its core shattered and dimmed, completely destroyed.

Many of the Gaia princes felt a pang of regret, along with a sense of melancholy. The difficulty of obtaining intermediate-level rare treasures was simply outrageous. If a lord-level monster were to self-destruct, not only would you have to endure its near-death explosion, but you still wouldn't be able to obtain the rare treasure.

Bai Pu didn't seem to care much about this, after all, he had obtained a mid-level rare item by killing a few Lord-level Phase Hunters in the S-level dangerous Void Fold.

Of course, none of these Gaia princes dared to venture into S-level dangerous areas.

If the crisis in a Class A dangerous area is a formidable enemy that can be seen with the naked eye, then the danger in a Class S dangerous area is an intangible and mysterious threat that cannot be seen or touched at all.

Ancient trees of true origin, permafrost fissures, void folds, the eerie stone forest... every S-class dangerous place holds immense terror, and without extraordinary abilities, one dares not even approach.

That is why the Moonlit Dwelling, which dwells in the permafrost fissures, and the White Pagoda, which dwells in the folds of the void, are so respected by all.

"It's a pity that the monsters in the dangerous area of ​​Prince Star are specially designed by Gaia's will. You can only plunder the treasures of the caves and some rare materials, but there are no loot chests."

As Feng Shenxiu spoke, he picked up the three golden crystals, along with the lower-level grotto-heaven treasures he had gathered on the outskirts, and handed them all to Bai Pu: "Boss Gangxin, you should keep them, they're too hot for me to handle..."

The crowd chuckled softly.

After Bai Pu displayed such strength, he had completely won over many of the Gaia princes.

It would be difficult to convince everyone if anyone held the spoils, even if it was Feng Shenxiu who organized the gathering. Only Bai Pu, the rightful leader, was qualified to keep them safe for everyone.

Everyone has seen a glimmer of hope. As long as Bai Pu is the leader, it's almost a certainty that they will be able to explore various dangerous places and obtain intermediate-level rare treasures.

Everyone's grotto-heaven is about to be upgraded to an intermediate-level grotto-heaven, and everyone has a smile on their face.

Therefore, this small group revered Bai Pu as their leader, which was a consensus among everyone.

“Alright.” Bai Pu didn’t refuse anymore and took it. “Everyone, take a short rest and once you’ve recovered enough, we can explore other areas of Thousand Peaks Mountain and try to find more Lord-level monsters.”

Everyone sat down to rest, and some even brought out various rare ingredients and delicacies to share.

Bai Pu also took out the "Centipede Meat Tendon" that he had obtained from the Void Fold last time.

No one had ever seen such a precious meat before. Upon hearing that it came from the Void Folds, they all became interested and reached out their hands.

……

The group explored the depths of Thousand Peaks Mountain and encountered several groups of mithril mechs, which they killed.

This time, everyone learned from their previous experience and did not give the Mithril Mechs a chance to self-destruct. Whenever there were related signs, they immediately used various first- and second-grade interrupt skills to apply temporary control.

Besides golden crystals, you can also loot materials like mithril armor plates and adamantite gears from the wreckage of mithril mechs. Of course, these are all Tier 2 materials.

These materials were rare, but they meant nothing to the Gaia princes; they were simply divided up as scraps.

Just as they were happily looting, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from deep within Thousand Peaks Mountain.

"That's... the direction of the Thousand Peaks Temple, the prison that confines the 'Lord of Pure White'!"

Feng Shenxiu suddenly stood up, his expression changing. "Boss Gangxin, the mithril mechs we killed should be the guards of the Lord of Imprisonment. The golden crystals inside them, which serve as the energy core, are the energy nodes of the Lord of Imprisonment..."

Annihilation said, "Because too many Mithril Mechs have been eliminated, the blockade has loosened... The Lord of Pure White may be about to tour his territory!"
