Chapter 20 Nebula's Gift: Pets Decide Who Gets the Energy
…………
Stardust has turned into clouds; the intermediate stage has been achieved!
At the moment the nebula took shape, a terrifying surge of magical energy, more than ten times stronger than that of a beginner, erupted from Lin Ze's body like a volcanic eruption.
"Dimo!!!"
"grumble--!!!"
Lin Ze closed his eyes, his mind completely immersed in the intermediate-level spiritual world he had just created.
The pale white stardust that once contained only seven stars has undergone a dramatic transformation. It has expanded into a vast and profound nebula, radiating powerful magical energy fluctuations.
However, what surprised Lin Ze the most was not the surge in the total amount of magic energy, but the fact that something extremely special was being nurtured deep within this newly formed summoning nebula.
It was a pure, milky-white, almost tangible liquid energy. It had no particular attribute bias; it was neither ice nor fire, but rather the most primordial and purest summoning-type life magic energy!
"This is... a gift from Nebula?!"
Lin Ze suddenly opened his eyes, his breathing becoming rapid.
In the world of Full-Time Mages, when a summoning mage breaks through a major realm, the newly formed nebula or star river gives birth to an extremely pure source of magical energy.
This magical energy has no effect on the mage's own body, but for the contracted summoned beast, it is the most top-notch all-around tonic in the world!
Lin Ze carefully sensed the size of the milky white energy and immediately made a decision.
"The energy bestowed by this nebula is extremely vast. If used to feed a servant-level summoned beast in its advancement stage, there is absolutely a 100% chance it will instantly break through its bloodline barrier and directly advance to the warrior-level!"
General-level!
These three words exploded in Lin Ze's mind like a thunderclap.
In a remote small city like Bocheng, a demon at the level of a general is someone who can absolutely roam freely.
Even most of the mid-level mages in the Bo City military must be on high alert when facing general-level demons.
But after the initial euphoria, a very real and thorny problem confronted Lin Ze.
Although the energy bestowed by this nebula is immense, it is an indivisible whole. In other words, this energy can only create one warrior-level summoned beast.
to whom?
Lin Ze's gaze swept back and forth between Dimo and Dong Yuque beside him, his brows gradually furrowing into a deep frown.
He was torn between his two beloved children, each one a source of deep conflict.
From both a seniority and emotional standpoint, this energy should rightfully go to Dimo.
Dimo was the first Rock Elf that Lin Ze bound to after his transmigration, and also his closest comrade-in-arms. From fighting side by side against the One-Eyed Demon Wolf at the beginning, to countless days and nights of battles in the wild, Dimo always rushed to the front, using its not-so-tall body to block countless fatal attacks for Lin Ze.
Moreover, as an extremely rare light-type divine pet, Dimo's potential and combat power are beyond doubt. If Dimo can break through to the Warrior level, its combat power will definitely undergo a qualitative leap, and it may even awaken even more terrifying light-type skills, becoming the most dazzling meat grinder on the battlefield.
but……
Lin Ze turned his gaze to the other side, looking at his Winter Feather Sparrow with longing eyes.
From the perspective of tactical value and future development potential, giving this energy to the Winter Finch seems to be a more cost-effective choice.
Although Winterfeather Sparrow joined later, it has proven its worth with countless precise aerial assassinations over the past six months. More importantly, Winterfeather Sparrow is different from Dimo.
Dimo's breakthrough to the Warrior level is simply a matter of level increase and attribute enhancement; its form will not change significantly.
But the winter-feathered finches are different!
According to the encyclopedia of the Kingdom of Loque system, once the Winter Feather Sparrow breaks through the shackles of the Servant level and enters the Warrior level, it will usher in the ultimate leap in its life level: evolution!
It will evolve directly from a slightly larger winter finches into the true sky war god, the Storm Bird!
The evolved Stormbird will not only grow significantly larger, easily carrying Lin Ze on long-distance high-altitude flights and completely solving Lin Ze's mobility problem, but its flight speed and control over its wing attributes will also see a leap forward.
In a complex battlefield environment, the strategic significance of a general-class fighter that can only run on the ground is obviously much greater than that of a general-class fighter that can fly with its master and gain absolute air superiority.
"Sigh, if only I could have a couple of Nebula's bounty..."
Lin Ze rubbed his temples with a wry smile. He knew that such a greedy idea was unrealistic.
Seeing both summoned beasts staring at him expectantly, Lin Ze took a deep breath and made a decision.
"Since I cannot make a choice, I will leave the decision to you."
Lin Ze sat down cross-legged and, through the soul connection of the spiritual contract, conveyed his current predicament, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the Nebula gift, to Dimo and Dongyuque without reservation.
"Dimo, Xiaodong. This energy can only allow one of you to break through to the Warrior level. Dimo, you're the eldest brother, you've been with me the longest, so it should be yours. Xiaodong, if you break through, you can directly evolve into a Storm Bird, which will greatly enhance our upcoming tactical system."
Lin Ze looked at them and said earnestly, "You two should discuss it. Whoever gets this energy in the end, I won't complain. The one who doesn't get any shouldn't be discouraged. I, Lin Ze, swear that even if I have to sell everything I own, I will definitely gather the resources to break through to the Warrior level in the shortest possible time!"
Upon hearing Lin Ze's words, the basement fell into a brief silence.
The Winter Feather Sparrow's black, gem-like eyes gleamed with an extremely complex light. It certainly craved that energy; as a demon, the pursuit of a higher level of life was an instinct etched into its very bones. It dreamed of shedding its somewhat immature feathers and evolving into a Storm Bird soaring through the heavens.
However, it turned its head to look at Dimo beside it.
In Dongyuque's heart, Dimo was not only its master's first contracted beast, but also its elder brother. For the past six months, whenever they encountered dangerous demons, Dimo was always at the forefront, absorbing the damage and creating opportunities for Dongyuque to deliver a fatal blow. Without Dimo's protection, Dongyuque would have been torn to shreds by high-level demons several times.
Although the world of demons is cruel, it also has the most primal sense of hierarchy and gratitude.
"grumble……"
The Winterfeather Sparrow lowered its head and let out a very faint chirp. It took two steps back, lay down on the ground, and made its stance clear through its actions: it gave up. It believed that this precious energy should rightfully belong to its hardworking and meritorious elder brother, Dimo.
Seeing Dongyuque's actions, Lin Ze felt a surge of warmth in his heart. This little guy, although a bit greedy, was still very loyal when it came to matters of principle.
