Chapter 2104 - 2097: Humans Bid 5 Trillion
"It’s a Chimera!"
At this moment, cries of astonishment erupted from the other races’ areas as well.
This was an ancient relic that had never appeared before, yet it was immensely famous because the catastrophic battle between two Warcafts had been recorded by many races, some of which still exist today and have not perished.
It’s said that this was the final battle in the Myriad Tribes’ conquest, where the fight between the two Warcafts nearly shattered half the battlefield. Countless races perished in the aftermath of the battle, and in the end, the two Warcafts died of exhaustion.
Later, an obscure race picked up the pieces. They did not focus on developing human potential or creating powerful technological weapons; instead, they devoted all their attention to conducting all sorts of peculiar experiments.
No one expected that such a whimsical race would actually create such a formidable Chimera.
In their lifetime, the two Warcafts were close to the level of Warcraft like Mogban. After death, most of their power faded away, but the remaining power was by no means comparable to ordinary ninth-level Guardian Beasts. After creating the Chimera, the race became invincibly powerful!
What concept was that? Equivalent to a permanently usable Beast God Scroll!
Even the Warcafts summoned by the Beast God Scroll might not be a match for the Chimera.
Even if the Chimera were slightly inferior, it could still flee!
To accommodate the Chimera’s body, the race conquered a subordinate race, whose technological ability allowed them to construct a small world for the Chimera to live in.
They could summon the Chimera anytime using the bracelet’s power, or let it retreat to the small world at will. If a mighty Warcraft summoned via the Beast God Scroll appeared, the Chimera could completely hide in the small world, waiting for that Warcraft to return to its world before coming out again.
In fact, the number of Warcafts summoned by the Beast God Scroll that could exceed the Chimera in strength is very few.
As the Chimera’s body fully appeared, the one wearing the bracelet began aging quickly, as if all their Life Force was being drained.
The Chimera stood over 1800 meters tall, with an appearance that was eerie and terrifying, like a patchwork of a broken toy.
The Chimera let out a deafening roar, shaking the entire venue.
"Boom!"
From somewhere in the venue came the sound of an explosion, and an adventurer holding an energy detecting device had an expression full of disbelief.
"The Energy Intensity of a ninth-level Guardian Beast is within 200 units; the measurement limit of this device is 500 units. The Chimera has indeed surpassed the limits that this world can bear."
[Dean, the strength of this Chimera is very formidable, almost approaching Mogban. Even after losing so much energy after their death, being pieced together still yields such power, indicating they were terrifyingly strong when alive.]
The Chimera lingered for less than a minute before the bracelet-wearing existence turned to ash, and with a "snap," the bracelet dropped to the ground.
"What’s going on? Could it be that summoning the Chimera requires a life sacrifice?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"I’m afraid so," Dominic replied, "The Chimera originally was a special creation pieced together from two dead Warcafts, but it is still a dead thing. To summon it, the cost of life is naturally life."
"Ordinary people really can’t afford to use this thing!" Zhang Menglong lamented. "Such a colossal Chimera, how much life force is needed to sustain its battle?"
"When the race created the Chimera, they invented a device to absorb the Life Energy of all living creatures in the race; otherwise, it couldn’t maintain its battle," Dominic explained.
"Let me guess what destroyed this race," Zhang Menglong said. "Did they get dragged to death by this Chimera?"
"Correct," Dominic said. "Later, this race clashed with another very powerful race, resulting in a stalemate where neither side could gain the upper hand. Eventually, the entire race’s Life Force was exhausted, even before they could finish calling the summon."
"This kind of operation even today would be considered groundbreaking," Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes. "That race really showed flair."
"It’s a good thing," Dominic said. "That life form should be an existence at the limit of the Dao Realm. Their life could only support the Chimera’s appearance for 1 minute, and that was just standing still. If engaged in battle, the consumption might be even more terrifying."
"Probably only a few seconds to drain a person," Zhang Menglong speculated.
"But even so, those few seconds are enough to secure a victory in a great battle. War inherently involves death, and if one person’s death can bring about a few seconds of power at this level, it’s definitely worth it."
The adventurers discussed for a long time and finally settled into silence. The cost of summoning the Chimera was indeed substantial, but any race acquiring such an item possessed a solid trump card.
"I think all of you have discussed enough. If anyone has the capability, no one would willingly give up this Chimera," Zero said, picking up the bracelet. The Chimera had disappeared when the unfortunate soul was drained dry.
"Chimera control bracelet, starting price, 100 billion Supreme Crystal!"
"Humans bid 1 trillion!" Zhang Menglong lazily raised his hand.
"Divine Primordial Civilization, 1.2 trillion!"
The atmosphere almost reached a boiling point with the Divine Primordial Civilization’s bid; they could actually offer 1.2 trillion!
"Humans bid 1.5 trillion Supreme Crystal!"
"Divine Primordial Civilization, 2 trillion!"
"Why are they so rich, they’ve dug up all their resources?" Zhang Menglong was a little surprised. "5 trillion Supreme Crystal, let’s see if you can match!"
"5 trillion! My goodness, how much Supreme Crystal do humans actually have?"
"Our race doesn’t even have a fraction of theirs. Are humans really a race that developed slowly in this world like us?"
"5 trillion..." The adventurers from the Divine Primordial Civilization were also quite astonished. They had tried to imagine the wealthy level of humans, but thus far, it seemed they had underestimated this wretched race!
"8 trillion Supreme Crystal!" The Divine Primordial Civilization was almost gnashing their teeth.
"1 trillion!" Zhang Menglong remained exceedingly relaxed.
With the price reaching this level, even the bid increment fees already exceeded the original starting price of 100 billion Supreme Crystal.
Races around them looked at Zhang Menglong with admiration, feeling honored to be near the human race.
"1.2 trillion Supreme Crystal!" The adventurers of the Divine Primordial Civilization’s hearts were racing; they had no idea how far Zhang Menglong’s reserves went.
"2 trillion Supreme Crystal!"
"Crack!" A crisp sound came from a Divine Primordial Civilization adventurer’s hand, having crushed his own bones due to excessive tension!
He could practically foresee that the Supreme Crystal Zhang Menglong possessed might even surpass the funds they scraped together.
"2.5 trillion Supreme Crystal!"
"My humans bid 5 trillion!"
