A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1751: 477 Nature Domain and Ether Wave Valley_2

Under a sky filled with red light,

a tiny shadow suddenly burst forth from where molten iron had been poured, spreading its wings and taking flight!

Whooosh, whooosh, whooosh!

The flying shadow sped straight up along the torch, circling the sky three times before it slowly descended and returned to the base of the torch.

Matthew fixed his gaze for a closer look.

It was a bird, almost the size of a black peacock, with a bald head, an ugly chicken-like appearance, and only its tail feathers shining silver like snow!

Could this be the Divine Phoenix?

Matthew curiously stretched out his hand and made brief contact with the little red bird’s rough beak.

In that instant,

a sensation similar to an electric shock spread throughout Matthew’s body.

At the same time,

a straightforward thought reverberated in his mind:

“Synapses.”

“Why make it so estranged when you are me, and I am you?”

Matthew smiled in realization.

Conversing with his own identity,

this feeling was indeed a first for him.

He could sense that the little red bird’s every move fell under his mental command.

And if he did not deliberately exercise control,

then the little red bird would act on the innate experience found within its bloodline, supported by the Spirit Seed.

After studying for a while,

Matthew heaved a long sigh of relief.

The concept of an independent doppelgänger only existed in novels.

This little red bird was akin to an extra hand for him; there was no need to worry that the hand would have its own thoughts.

Therefore,

Matthew stroked the red bird’s feathers while checking its data panel.

…

“Notice: Your Spirit Seed has successfully transformed into a new doppelganger ‘Mutant Phoenix’!

Mutant Phoenix (Juvenile/Mythical Template): A powerful creature born from the union of a dead Divine Phoenix Egg with mechanical oddities in fierce fire.

The Mutant Phoenix is expected to live up to 3000 years.

The juvenile Mutant Phoenix has the following traits or abilities—

1. Fire Resistance (The Mutant Phoenix fears no flames and can replenish its stamina and life within them)

2. Nature Soul (During its growth, the Mutant Phoenix will automatically receive the identity of the highest Power of Domain’s Nature Soul in its local environment)

3. Evil-breaking (The Mutant Phoenix and its master can cause 300% damage to creatures within the negative energy domain, Undying Domain, and frozen domains)

4. Ether Buster (Born within the chaotic Ether’s storm of fire, thus immune to all negative effects from chaotic Ether and can feed off it to grow stronger)

5. Thunderfall (The Mutant Phoenix can be considered a projectile, which you can bundle and throw at enemies. On impact, the Mutant Phoenix will automatically explode, triggering a Thunderfall and fiery ring, while taking the opportunity to leave the target’s proximity.)

6. Master of Constructs (The Mutant Phoenix’s tail has been tainted by the breath of a powerful Mechanical life, making it the master of most golems and granting it control rights)”

…

“Pret-ty impressive…”

Matthew knew his little red bird was not a genuine Divine Phoenix,

but he didn’t expect even its juvenile attributes to be so formidable.

Just looking at the panel’s attributes,

most True Dragons at birth couldn’t measure up to the Mutant Phoenix.

Not to mention there was a series of traits and abilities listed below.

“But the first four seem legitimate; what’s with ‘Thunderfall’?”

Matthew wondered, glancing at the brusque little red bird.

“Would anyone really throw their own doppelgänger like a grenade?”

It felt inappropriate to him.

As for the last one, ‘Master of Constructs,’ that was even more powerful.

Although mechanical life was not a particularly mainstream Race in Aindor, their traces could be found in many places.

If the Mutant Phoenix could directly command these golems,

then it would become the nightmare of many Mechanical Mages!

“The powerful Mechanical life, tainted by the Ether, must be referring to the Butterfly piloted by the God of Truth, right?”

Matthew thought to himself.

Just then,

a strong fluctuation emanated from the metal cocoon—

During the Mutant Phoenix’s birth, the cocoon’s shell had already begun to loosen and melt.

The Mutant Phoenix’s takeoff scattered a good amount of molten iron,

some of the shell mixed with the iron, creating softened, sunken areas.

In the next moment,

sharp contours started bulging from the softened parts of the cocoon, protruding from the inside out.

Soon after,

intense tearing sounds followed.

The flames burned even more fiercely.

A huge amount of molten iron poured down, almost completely melting the cocoon’s shell, and before long, a pair of giant wings sparkling with brilliant starlight appeared before Matthew!

The entity that climbed out from the cocoon moved its body and joints in a rigid manner at first.

However, just with a few movements,

a vast amount of Ether gushed from within the entity, and numerous unnerving blue-black spots appeared on its metallic surface—

They were the harbingers of Ether abnormalities!

Matthew felt a sense of alarm,

but in the next second,

all the spots quickly settled down.

The being slowly unfolded its body amidst the dying Fire Pillar—

It was a huge, exquisitely patterned Mechanical Butterfly!

Under Matthew’s silent watch,

the Mechanical Butterfly clumsily extended its limbs, climbing bit by bit up the Bell Tower.

Before long,

the giant Butterfly reached the top of the Bell Tower.

Matthew looked up,

to find the Nun standing at the edge of the tower’s top level.

She stood very close to the Butterfly.

In the next second,

she reached out to touch the Butterfly’s limbs, but at that very moment, a gust of wind came through—

The Butterfly then spread its wings.

Whooosh, whooosh, whooosh!

A sudden gust of wind erupted.

The Butterfly took to the winds,

fluttering several times high in the sky, as the patterns on its giant wings once again lit up with starlight.

Soon after,

the Butterfly silently vanished into the skies above Order City!
