Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

The second response was an agreement to continue participating in the Kona civilization's counterattack and, according to the mission, assist them in reclaiming their colony.

After reading the reply, Zheng Jinren immediately instructed the communications team to contact the Watchers.

[The Great Xia will complete the clearing of the remaining dangerous areas of the Kona satellite within eighteen hours and transfer control of the satellite, excluding the Great Xia base's independent defense zone, to the Kona civilization.]

[After your mission is accepted, please pay the third phase reward according to the agreement.]

[Daxia has agreed in principle to continue with the subsequent tasks.]

[Given the changed state of war on the homeworld of Kona, please clarify whether the fourth phase of the mission is still necessary.]

If the fourth phase has lost its mission foundation, Great Xia agrees to forgo the rewards for that phase and transfer the combined forces of both sides to the fifth phase.

[This assumes that the existing compensation standards for Phase 5 remain in effect.]

[Then please submit information on the first batch of candidate attack targets, including the planetary environment, existing facilities, and the military forces deployed by the Kona civilization.]

The Watcher responded less than a minute after the message was sent.

[The Kona civilization's homeworld defenses have stabilized, and the orbital defense system is 73.7% complete.]

[Based on assessment, the fourth phase of the mission is no longer necessary.]

The Kona civilization accepts the cancellation of the fourth phase mission and the corresponding rewards.

The conditions and rewards for the fifth phase of the mission remain unchanged.

The first batch of candidate target data is being processed and is expected to be transmitted in 47 minutes.

[Thank you to DaXia for continuing to fulfill the cooperation agreement.]

Upon seeing the last sentence, Zheng Jinren's eyes sharpened.

The Kona civilization was unwilling to wait any longer, and the Great Xia was equally unwilling to let this strategic opportunity slip away on its own.

"Order the entire army to assemble immediately and prepare for battle!"

"Inspect the energy, weapons, mechs, and equipment."

"Prepare to travel through the portal and deploy aliens."

"Contact Commander Lin Merlin and ask him to coordinate with the high-ranking Holy Human mages to rush to the Kona base and open the portal."

"Once the Watchers' target planet data arrives, immediately conduct an operational assessment!"

"yes!"

......

Blue Star, Tian Shu City.

At this moment, Lin Mo was on a commercial street on the surface of Tian Shu City.

The lanterns left over from the Lantern Festival have not all been removed, and red lanterns are still hanging in front of several shops.

The cleaning robot moves slowly along the edge of the road, sucking up the falling ice crystals into the recycling bin from time to time.

The surface temperature remains below zero. The World Tree can purify radiation and harmful substances, but it won't immediately warm up the entire Arctic.

Pedestrians on the street were all dressed in thick winter clothes, and their breaths created puffs of white mist.

Lin Mo wore a dark gray cashmere hat, sunglasses, and a high-necked down jacket that almost covered half of his face.

He held the roasted sweet potato he had just bought in his left hand, while looking at the phone screen he was scrolling through in his right hand, blending into the crowd unnoticed.

Two plainclothes guards followed a few meters behind, not getting too close.

With Lin Mo's current strength, they are mainly responsible for handling potential blockades and other emergencies that may occur after his identity is exposed, or coordinating some matters.

In terms of individual close combat ability alone, it is indeed difficult for anyone on Blue Star to threaten Lin Mo at present.

After so much training, his physical attributes have reached the peak of the fourth rank, and his magical cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth rank Grand Magister.

However, these two "peaks" have been holding him back for a long time.

No matter how much elemental energy he absorbs or how much magic he learns, his growth rate becomes extremely slow.

Advancing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank seems to be something that cannot be achieved simply by accumulating magic power.

In Terra, the seventh rank is called "Elemental Walker".

At that level, a mage's control over the elements will undergo a qualitative leap, and becoming elementalized from head to toe is an even greater qualitative change!

The fact that it can ignore physical attacks is exciting in itself.

Moreover, it can fly, and it's not like it can't go into space.

But Lin Mo still hasn't figured out how to take that step.

Even Kyle is now stuck at this step.

They could only offer some vague directions based on the other seven ranks of the Divine Human Race, but they couldn't directly tell the two how to break through; it was all up to their comprehension and fate.

Lin Mo took a bite of the roasted sweet potato, his gaze falling on a news notification on his phone.

[Major Discovery! Abnormal Affinity Reactions Detected in Multiple Fetuses and Newborns – Is the First Generation of "Magical New Humans" About to Emerge?]

The news headline seemed deliberately exaggerated to attract clicks, but the elements of friendliness and newborns still caught Lin Mo's attention.

He clicked on the article, which contained little substantive content, only a few interviews with researchers and a blurred image of a test.

In the video, the newborn's cells and body activity far exceed those of ordinary people.

An ordinary person might not notice anything unusual, but Lin Mo recognized it at a glance; it was indeed the reaction of elements being drawn together.

"Are people actually starting to adapt to the magical elements or spiritual power on Earth?"

Lin Mo seemed to be deep in thought, and then connected to the Great Xia Advanced Database through his wrist terminal, using his access privileges to retrieve relevant research data.

There is indeed a special project in the database called "Research on Environmental Adaptability of the New Generation".

The study subjects included pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns who had lived in the World Tree Ecosystem for a long time.

A total of 43 abnormal samples have been found so far.

These samples showed slight changes in cell activity and neural electrical signals.

The changes are very small, far from being noticeable, and have not yet developed into a clearly detectable phenomenon.

However, after multiple rounds of verification, the project team has ruled out equipment failure, radiation mutation, and ordinary physiological fluctuations.

It is worth noting that the mothers of all 43 samples had lived within the World Tree purification area for a long time, and 31 of them had also participated in surface agriculture, ecological maintenance, or engineering construction.

They spent significantly more time in contact with magical elements than the control group who lived in the dungeon for an extended period.

At the bottom of the project report, the current conclusions are marked in red.

[At this stage, it can only be confirmed that some new generation individuals have an unusual affinity for magical elements; it is not yet possible to confirm whether this change can be inherited, developed, or transformed into a controllable ability.]

[It is strictly forbidden to characterize them using unverified concepts such as "new humans" or "naturally awakened beings."]

All research is conducted under the premise of long-term observation and protection of minors, and any stimulating experiments that go beyond the scope of routine medical procedures are prohibited.
