148: Chapter 148 Production Limitations and New Ideas for the Golden Behemoth
In the battle of the Wall of Sighs, Su Chen's gains far exceeded expectations.
When his cold will returned to the Divine Realm, the metallic continent floating in the Void Realm remained a scene of efficient and deathly silent operation.
He walked through the cold alloy corridors, heading straight for the core incubation chamber of the Broodmother.
Along the way, the Zerg Swarm units silently paid their highest respects to their Dominator, then continued their tasks; the entire Divine Realm was like an extremely precise war machine.
This time, he was going to upgrade the core engine of this machine once again.
"Nora is too strong."
In Su Chen's mind, the violent posture of that Golden Behemoth Nora tearing through the Divine Kingdom echoed.
"If I had a hundred Noras, I could sweep through the World of Gods."
This thought created waves in his mental sea, carrying a heat that was almost tangible.
With such ambition, Su Chen stood before the control center of the Broodmother's incubation chamber.
On the massive biological cavity walls, countless nerve bundles and energy pipes pulsed like blood vessels, emitting a faint Psionic Energy halo.
"Invest resources!"
His will turned into a command, instantly activating the entire System.
In the Divine Realm's warehouse, mountains of Demon Flesh, Soul Crystals, and the massive amount of Divine Power scavenged from the Wall of Sighs battlefield turned into surging torrents of energy, greedily devoured by the Broodmother.
"Target: Golden Behemoth."
"Incubation quantity: Two."
Hum—
The entire incubation chamber shook violently as two massive biological eggs rapidly took shape and expanded in the nutrient solution pool.
On the surface of the eggshells, golden Titan gene sequences slithered and intertwined like living things, outlining overbearing and peerless silhouettes.
Su Chen's eyes were calm, but his Mental Energy was highly concentrated, monitoring every data change.
Everything was going smoothly.
Gene sequences stable.
Energy supply sufficient.
Life signs were climbing geometrically.
Crack...
A crisp cracking sound rang out as fissures appeared simultaneously on the shells of the two giant eggs.
A violent, savage aura leaked out from within.
However, just as the two hatchlings were about to break out of their shells, a sharp alarm suddenly echoed throughout the entire Broodmother!
[Warning! Divine Realm energy density insufficient!]
[Warning! Plane rule rejection!]
The piercing red light reflected off Su Chen's face, making it look icy cold.
On the Broodmother's control panel, a giant red X covered the entire incubation progress bar.
[Prompt]: Titan-class creatures are "Planet Overlord" level units; the current Divine Realm Ecological Niche is saturated. If a fourth one is forcibly hatched, it will lead to the collapse of the Divine Realm's rules or the genetic collapse of the hatchling.
The alarm stopped abruptly.
The golden patterns on the surface of the two giant eggs, which had just been filled with the power of life, quickly dimmed and disintegrated.
The life aura within the shells dissipated completely within a few seconds, like a punctured balloon.
The two Titan Behemoths about to be born turned into a puddle of worthless primordial genetic slurry.
Su Chen looked at the stationary red X on the panel and fell silent.
The air in the incubation chamber seemed to become thick due to this sudden failure.
"Ecological Niche limit?"
He whispered to himself, his voice devoid of any emotion.
But his gaze instantly became extremely profound.
He quickly found the core of the problem.
His Divine Realm was, in essence, still a Demiplane—a powerful "fish tank."
And Titan-class creatures like the Golden Behemoth were whales.
A fish tank cannot hold too many whales.
Nora, plus the two hatched previously—three in total—was the current limit of this fish tank.
Unless he could ascend to a True God and completely upgrade the Divine Realm into a Divine Kingdom with complete rules, he could not accommodate more Titans.
"The path of simply stacking the number of Behemoths is no longer viable."
Su Chen's decisiveness was unquestionable.
He didn't waste any time on the failure; his train of thought shifted instantly.
"Since I can't take the 'Behemoth Sea' route..."
His gaze pierced through the Broodmother's walls and looked deeper into the Divine Realm.
"Then I'll take the 'Elite Legion' route."
A brand-new requirement clearly emerged in his mind.
"I need a demigod unit that is moderate in size, powerful in combat, and relatively low in energy consumption."
A type of ace troop that can be mass-produced on a large scale to form legion formations.
His consciousness sank into the Divine Realm's resource warehouse.
Massive amounts of materials streaked past his eyes like data streams.
His gaze finally locked onto an inconspicuous corner.
It was a sealed gene sample.
Previously, to analyze Abominations and Hybrids, he had decomposed the captured [Genesis Gene Sequence]; this was a leftover scrap.
It lay there quietly, emitting faint light and heat.
Immediately after, his gaze turned to a building in the Divine Realm that had been neglected for years.
The [Radiant Hatchery].
This was the building obtained along with the [abyssal infection pool], but it had remained vacant due to the lack of a suitable light-attribute gene blueprint.
It was composed entirely of some kind of pure white crystal, emitting a soft and holy light against the dark background of the Divine Realm, looking out of place with its surroundings.
"Since the abyssal infection pool can produce Abominations and Hybrids..."
A thought, like an electric current, pierced through his mental barriers.
"Then shouldn't the Radiant Hatchery also spit something out for me?"
In Su Chen's mind, a brand-new door was swung open.
Countless fragments of inspiration began to collide and aggregate.
An extremely bold concept was rapidly taking shape.
"Light-attribute..."
"Magic..."
"High mobility..."
These few words flashed repeatedly in his mental world, eventually intertwining into a clear coordinate.
Got it!
