The strangeness is coming, I build a forbidden kingdom of God in the end times

Chapter 228: Damaged Monster Encyclopedia
As the blood-red refining light dissipated, the huge crystal monster corpse had disappeared, leaving only three objects of different shapes on the ground.

One of them is a pair of huge claws.

It emitted a cold light and just by laying it flat on the ground, it could easily cut through the floor. Its claws penetrated deeply into the ground, showing how sharp it was.

[Crystal Claws]

Extraordinary level: Level 4

Effect: The claws of the crystal monster are extremely sharp and can ignore the defense of some targets and easily cut open the opponent's body.

By absorbing the blood energy in the user's body, the sharpness of the crystal claws can be further enhanced, and the armor-piercing effect of the crystal claws can be enhanced.

The stronger the user's physique, the greater the increased sharpness and armor-piercing effect.

Introduction: Using special methods, the claws extracted from the crystal giant are a powerful offensive weapon and can also be used as an excellent forging material.

……

This is also an extraordinary weapon that can only be driven by physical strength. Its effect is much better than the claws of ordinary crystal monsters.

The claws of ordinary crystal monsters are only slightly sharper, but have no armor-piercing effect, nor can they increase their sharpness and armor-piercing ability by absorbing blood energy.

It’s just a pity that this claw is too big and it’s not a regular weapon shape, so it’s not suitable for direct use.

Su Hao planned to use this pair of claws as synthetic materials.

Now that he has the skill of Pale Bone Claws, the weapons he can use are no longer limited to one or two.

As long as he could control his mind, he could create a king's treasury and use a large number of powerful extraordinary weapons to smash the enemies to death.

However, the weapon Su Hao currently has is not very suitable for synthesis with the crystal claws.

The three most powerful weapons on Su Hao's body are the Explosive Hammer, which is a pure heavy weapon that does not require sharpness at all and is not suitable for synthesis with the Crystal Claws.

The other is the Divine Light Heavy Axe, which is also a heavy weapon. It does not require enhanced wind force. As long as its own weight is sufficient, it can cause considerable damage, so it is also not suitable for synthesizing crystal claws.

The last one is the Death Scythe, which does have certain requirements for sharpness, but the Death Scythe’s greater function is to attack the soul, so there is no need to use it to synthesize the Gold and Stone Claws.

So, Su Hao put the pair of crystal claws into his storage bag, intending to synthesize them when he had a suitable weapon in the future.

The second item was a huge blue stone nearly five meters tall that emitted violent energy fluctuations.

【Giant Crystal Core】

Extraordinary level: Level 4

Effect: Equipment made with giant crystal cores can have higher hardness and stability, and ordinary fourth-level extraordinary attacks are difficult to damage them.

In addition, the giant crystal core can be used as a special energy crystal to provide the target with more refined energy, making the target run faster.

When the energy inside the core of the giant crystal is exhausted, it can automatically restore energy through the free energy in the air or the energy in other extraordinary objects.

Introduction: The giant crystal core extracted from the body of the crystal monster has extremely strong hardness and contains powerful energy.

……

After reading the identification results, Su Hao conducted a simple experiment on the giant crystal core.

The energy inside the core of a giant crystal is equivalent to about ten thousand ordinary energy crystals, and the energy inside the core of a giant crystal is more refined and has a higher energy conversion rate.

At least 50% of ordinary energy crystals will be lost during the energy conversion process.

This is also why each device in the T235 experimental base is equipped with an energy conversion device in order to reduce energy loss.

However, even with an energy conversion device, energy loss is still considerable.

If a giant crystal core is used in conjunction with an energy conversion device, energy loss can definitely be further reduced.

However, the number of giant crystal cores is limited, and there is only one at present. If the energy recovery speed is not fast enough, it will not have much practical value.

Afterwards, Su Hao consumed all the energy inside the core of the giant crystal, first letting it recover naturally for a period of time, and then using energy crystals to recharge it.

After a series of experiments, we had a general understanding of the recovery speed of the giant crystal core.

Compared with ordinary crystal cores, the recovery speed of giant crystal cores is obviously much faster.

It can also complete self-charging by absorbing the energy inside the energy crystal.

The most important thing is that with this kind of energy conversion, the energy consumption is basically negligible, with the loss being less than 10%!
Moreover, the converted energy is more refined. When using the giant crystal core to charge other items, the loss rate will be reduced to a certain extent, and the charging efficiency will be higher.

According to Su Hao's estimation, if energy crystals are used to charge the giant crystal core.

By combining the giant crystal core with the energy conversion device, the loss rate can be reduced from more than 50% to around 40%.

Although it only reduces energy loss by about 10%, in the long run, the amount of energy crystals that can be saved will definitely be a huge number.

The charging speed of the giant crystal core is still too slow in Su Hao's opinion. If he could have more of them, it would be fine to use them alternately.

But the problem is that he only has one giant crystal core on him now, and there is no possibility of alternating between them.

"Emm, if we combine ordinary third-order crystal cores, can we synthesize a giant crystal core?"

Su Hao touched his chin and after some thought, he felt that this possibility was quite strong.

In addition, the number of synthesis times for today has been refreshed, so he took three third-level crystal cores and synthesized them.

While waiting, Su Hao turned his eyes to the last item extracted by the crystal monster.

It was a piece of yellowed kraft paper that did not look magical at all, but it contained a special text.

Although Su Hao had never seen these words before, he automatically translated them into Chinese after seeing them.

[Monster Encyclopedia Fragment]

Crystal Giant: It is transformed from an ordinary crystal monster. It has a solid body and sharp claws. It is difficult to cause any damage to it with the fourth-level extraordinary physical attack.

However, their mental power and soul strength are not high. By using attacks against the soul and mind, you only need to reach the fourth level of extraordinary to have a chance to kill them.

The crystal giant was once a favorite pet of the giants, but for unknown reasons, it was abandoned by the giants.

... "Unknown reasons... It seems that what the Iron Goat said may be true. Perhaps the giants may have really been attacked by a strange force."

Su Hao frowned slightly. If the strange creatures were taken as imaginary enemies, then the fallen giants would definitely be a powerful enemy.

You know, giants and dragons are among the most powerful races in the world today.

When the levels of the extraordinary beings are the same, a giant can easily defeat a hundred at once.

Moreover, giants are different from other races such as humans and dwarves. They are born with extremely high extraordinary levels.

Even a newly born giant can reach the third level of extraordinary level.

Although there are already quite a few pale undead creatures in Su Hao's territory, if he faces the giants, only a hundred or so will be enough to defeat the pale undead army.

But fortunately, the Giant Kingdom and the Dark Forest are not on the same continent, but are separated by a sea in a place called Titan Continent.

Unless the Giant Kingdom crosses the ocean, it is impossible to encounter a large number of giants in a short period of time. At most, it will encounter a few scattered giants, which will not pose any threat.

But the problem is, according to Su Hao's memory from his previous life, the giants had not been attacked by any strange creatures, and there were even many other races that established trade relations with them.

In this new world, giants have extremely high prestige, and some wealthier small and medium-sized races will even hire giants to help them resist strange creatures.

But Iron Goat's message said to be careful of the giants.

The identification illustration of the crystal giant also showed that the giants had some problems, causing them to give up their favorite pets.

This is equivalent to a cat lover suddenly abandoning the cat he has raised for many years and no longer liking cats as a creature.

It is obvious that this change is caused by a huge change in personality.

If only one or two giants experienced this change, it could be understood that these giants had encountered some major changes, resulting in a sudden change in their personalities.

But if the entire giant race is like this, then the biggest possibility is that they have been attacked by something strange, causing the character of the entire giant race to change.

However, according to Su Hao's understanding, all strange creatures are hostile to normal species.

If the giants were really affected by the weirdness, how could they establish trade with normal species and help normal species attack the weird creatures?
Could it be that……

The strange attacks suffered by the giants are quite special, and they allow them to maintain more sanity.

Do they want to enhance their own prestige and make more species become their subordinates, thus causing these species to degenerate into strange creatures?
Or is it that in the previous life, the giants did not fall, but with Su Hao's rebirth, the giants underwent some new changes?

"Forget it. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is no point in thinking too much about this kind of thing."

It was impossible to infer the truth of the matter with just this little information, so Su Hao stopped thinking about it.

He looked at the fragment of the monster encyclopedia in his hand, and a special idea came to his mind.

Regardless of whether the giants were corrupted by the strange power, Su Hao could at least be sure of it through the contents recorded on this fragment of the monster picture.

That is, the giants have indeed undergone some changes, and we should be wary of them in the future.

If only I could have fragments of all the species' illustrations, or a complete monster illustration.

Perhaps you can use the information displayed in the illustration to screen out those who are worth conquering, so as to avoid some strange minions sneaking into your territory.

But for some unknown reason, only a very small portion of the corpses of the same species and the same extraordinary level can be extracted into the monster encyclopedia.

So Su Hao planned to synthesize the fragments of the monster encyclopedia in his hand to see if he could synthesize a relatively complete monster encyclopedia.

Afterwards, Su Hao took out two pieces of the highest-level extraordinary monster encyclopedia fragments and used his second synthesis of the day on them.

At the same time, the synthetic golden light wrapped around the cores of the three third-level crystals gradually began to dissipate, and a huge crystal about five meters in height appeared in Su Hao's eyes.

【Giant Crystal Core】

(slightly)

……

"Nice, it turns out that a giant crystal core can be synthesized!"

Even if they look similar in appearance, they may actually be two different items.

Only after seeing the information displayed on the identification results did Su Hao breathe a sigh of relief and a bright smile appeared on his face.

As long as a large number of giant crystal cores can be synthesized, the consumption of energy crystals will definitely be reduced a lot in the future.

If the giant crystal core could be synthesized again, perhaps the profit margin of energy would be even higher.

However, the number of times the Synthesis Heart can be used each day is limited. Even if you want to synthesize a sufficient number of giant crystal cores in batches, it will take several days, not to mention synthesizing the giant crystal cores again.

Shortly after the giant crystal core was synthesized, the two monster encyclopedia fragments also completed their synthesis.

As the synthetic golden light dissipated, the two original monster encyclopedia fragments disappeared and turned into an ancient book that fell to the ground.

[Incomplete Monster Encyclopedia]

Extraordinary level: Level 3

Effect: Consume the corresponding mental energy and use the incomplete monster illustrations on any target unit whose extraordinary level is lower than the third level to obtain relevant information of the opponent and understand the opponent's weaknesses.

As the species information recorded in the incomplete monster encyclopedia increases, the extraordinary level of the monster encyclopedia will also increase accordingly, and more species will be able to be identified.

……

"Monster... Perhaps humans are also considered monsters in the eyes of other species. This name is reasonable."

Su Hao nodded slightly. It didn’t matter even if the chance of extracting monster encyclopedia fragments became lower in the future.

Anyway, with this incomplete monster encyclopedia in hand, sooner or later I will be able to collect information on all species in the world and become an encyclopedia of all races in the world.

At this moment, Su Hao had an idea. Through this incomplete monster encyclopedia, he could obtain the opponent's information and find out his weaknesses.

So after synthesizing this atlas, will it be possible for any species recorded in it to cause additional damage?
Although this idea is a bit far-fetched, Su Hao still has several monster illustrations on him, plus he has three synthesis times left today.

Su Hao took out the bloody magic book and combined it with the incomplete picture of the monster.
