Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2825: Chapter 2826: Elemental Aggregation
"Although we can join forces, the degree of cooperation and ultimate move synergy is still very poor."
Quickly preparing some food for Xiao Ji and the others, Feng Yuan spoke while eating. Compared to the Qi Realm Stance, in the normal state, the ultimate move compatibility between Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog is very poor. The Flame Chasing Furry Dog does have a recovery ultimate move, but it only has limited effect on Xiao Ji.
Both are attacker-type spirit beasts, with very few supportive ultimate moves, let alone ones that synergize with teammates. However, a double-attacker team is not entirely useless; at least opponents that are accustomed to traditional teams might find themselves a bit flustered when facing Xiao Ji and the others.
"Hmm, there’s little we can do about it. After all, they’re attack spirit beasts, making it difficult to form combinations with ultimate moves unless you can create chains, like two attack ultimate moves interacting to even enhance the effects of other ultimate moves."
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said casually. He had already left earlier to sort out lunch and dinner, so now he was using his phone to check various messages.
The matter of the big martial arts competition is currently only rumors and hasn’t been fully disclosed. But looking at the situation, it might only take a day or two. Feng Yuan wouldn’t have much time to do anything even if he wanted.
"Hmm, what you’re saying makes some sense. How about abandoning conventional comprehensive support and maximizing attack? But they don’t seem to have many ultimate moves that can interact with each other, do they?"
Touching his chin, Feng Yuan spoke while casting a doubtful glance at Xiao Ji and the others. There’s no way; in terms of attributes, Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog don’t really match. On the supportive ultimate move side, Xiao Ji, relying on the convenience of the Divine Beasts, has learned quite a bit. But having Xiao Ji focus on support? That’s clearly unlikely, and many of those supportive ultimate moves lack the core parts, rendering them largely insignificant.
"Fighting individually or trying something else seems to work, but... forget it."
After some thought, Feng Yuan shook his head. If there were a third beast tamer that could combine with Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, then this problem would naturally be resolved. However, after considering, Feng Yuan decided against it.
There’s no need for it now. Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s combat power is sufficient for the moment. Regarding cooperating, in reality, when the number of beasts is below three, doing so hardly makes a difference from fighting individually.
On the contrary, as the number of beasts increases, their synergy becomes relatively important. Particularly with the appearance of the Crystal Domain, many special supportive ultimate moves demonstrate very powerful supportive effects within the Crystal Domain.
"Speaking of which, this Elemental Aggregation ultimate move seems pretty good."
Suddenly remembering something, Veronia spoke up. Feng Yuan curiously glanced at Veronia and said,
"That ultimate move isn’t particularly impressive, not unless there’s a specialized beast to be responsible for it. The issue with Xiao Ji and the others..."
Elemental Aggregation, a non-specific attribute ordinary ultimate move. Of course, most attacker-type spirit beasts cannot learn it, but Feng Yuan is sure Xiao Ji can definitely learn it.
However! One very important point is that the Elemental Aggregation ultimate move is primarily used by those specialized energy-storing spirit beasts. Although it isn’t limited to only them, generally other spirit beasts learning it are pointless.
This ultimate move’s effect is very straightforward—during the ally’s use of attribute ultimate moves, Elemental Aggregation will collect a portion of equivalent attribute power into the summoned Elemental Aggregation entity.
Once the Elemental Aggregation entity is summoned, this ultimate move must be continuously maintained, meaning once Elemental Aggregation is activated, the spirit beast basically can’t do much.
While it can move, speed and such will significantly decrease.
Of course, given such a large restriction, the effect certainly isn’t merely energy storage. The energy collected by the Elemental Aggregation entity is perceived as energy storage by the maintainer, which is very important for those energy-storing spirit beasts.
Under normal circumstances, they must use various flashy ultimate moves to perform energy storage and then unleash powerful ultimate moves that require stored energy.
The Elemental Aggregation entity helps them bypass this process, especially as the party’s beasts increase in number even more so, regardless of their ultimate move energy storage efficiency. It’s generally hard to compare to multiple beasts simultaneously engaging in energy storage.
Compared to other ultimate moves that require energy storage to activate effects, the Elemental Aggregation entity is much simpler. As long as there’s accumulated attribute energy, corresponding attribute energy storm can be unleashed at any time.
Because there aren’t additional abilities, the power of the energy storm is still relatively inferior to attack ultimate moves. However, this ultimate move is peculiar in having no theoretical power limit, provided the Elemental Aggregation entity can be controlled to prevent explosion, no matter how much elemental energy is accumulated, there’s no issue.
Energy-storing spirit beasts can efficiently complete the energy storage process for various main ultimate moves through the Elemental Aggregation entity, and can even enhance corresponding environmental energy by releasing an energy storm at the end.
Treating it as an attack ultimate move, due to lack of additional effects, at most it can increase environmental energy intensity, making it largely insignificant.
Especially for Xiao Ji to use it, he can’t employ other ultimate moves during this period.
Thinking it over, Feng Yuan doesn’t feel the Elemental Aggregation ultimate move is suitable for non-energy-storing spirit beasts.
"Excessive Devouring Jade, this thing does seem interesting."
Knowing what Feng Yuan meant to say, Veronia directly showed the webpage on the phone to Feng Yuan. After puzzling over the information on the webpage for a while, Feng Yuan was surprised and said
"Where did this thing come from?"
Spirit beast equipment hadn’t been unresearched before, but hadn’t seen much advancement. Feng Yuan had seen the closest thing to game-like equipment which was the Qi Realm’s spirit beast decorations. Aside from those, other so-called spirit beast equipment were a joke.
At least, those spirit beast equipment merely relying on materials to resist attacks were of no great use.
However, the Excessive Devouring Jade is very much a special piece of spirit beast equipment. At least Feng Yuan is willing to admit this thing counts as spirit beast equipment.
Because this thing doesn’t consist of blocks of steel or something to shield from damage, but rather similar to those items that can be embedded into the body, equipped in a manner that integrates into the body.
The effect of this item is straightforward, but compared to previous supposed spirit beast equipment, it is tantamount to a milestone evolution.
The Excessive Devouring Jade has a single effect. When equipped, the Elemental Aggregation ultimate move undergoes changes.
From originally collecting one equivalent attribute environmental energy from the environment after an ally uses ultimate moves, it changes to collecting three times the same attribute environmental energy.
Had it been just that, Feng Yuan wouldn’t look favorably upon this item. Yet following that, the Elemental Aggregation entity underwent a transformation.
The Entity previously requiring continuous maintenance by the caster transformed into a summon-like existence.
It became difficult for non-energy targeting attack methods to hit it, and it no longer performs attacks. Correspondingly, the previously exerted energy storm became energy injection empowerment.
It can directly impart collected energy to the same attribute ultimate move of oneself or allies, considerably enhancing its power, effect, and scope.
That is to transform the Elemental Aggregation ultimate move into a purely supportive ultimate move, devoid of additional attack effects.
"Wait a minute, this item’s effect is not that simple, huh? Too bad it hasn’t been publicly available. Otherwise, equipping Xiao Ji with it would be great."
After staring at the effect description for a while, Feng Yuan considered something and said.
"Hmm? What odd application have you thought of?"
Veronia found the fact it hadn’t been released unsurprising. This item was just researched yesterday in the lab, and producing it on a large scale won’t be quickly achievable.
Moreover, whether any harm exists requires time for verification, not least whether long-term use will affect the spirit beast. Currently, there isn’t enough experimental data for verification.
Nonetheless, even with that, Veronia found this item quite peculiar, even worth learning Elemental Aggregation for.
Note that previously, only Qi Realm Stance and Crystal Domain could alter ultimate move forms and effects.
Qi Realm Stance is less about altering forms and more about directly changing ultimate moves. Only Crystal Domain truly alters the effect and form of ultimate moves.
All those modifications require specific Crystal Domain and ultimate move support. Comparatively, this item’s effect which changes ultimate move effects post-equipment, is somewhat more practical.
"Three times the energy collection speed; if strong enough, I feel soon you can drain natural environmental energy from a region."
Smiling, Feng Yuan said. When fighting within the same attribute, this becomes absurd. Environmental energy being drained doesn’t mean ultimate moves can’t be used; however, without environmental energy support, producing ultimate moves with one-third their usual effectiveness is impressive.
