Chapter 607 - 351: Bountiful Harvest, Time of Abundance (Part 2)
This made the process of Noah’s military expansion exceptionally smooth. Of course, given that Noah had never lowered his ever-stricter selection standards over the years, and with the elite armament of the legion, the speed of the battle group’s expansion was not fast. To this day, each battle group’s quota of three thousand has been only half completed.In contrast, the growth rate of the Forbidden Army’s members was quite impressive. The first batch of the Forbidden Army personnel came from those whose ancestors had lived for generations in Elisium City, and who themselves had issues requiring transformation, making them of pure lineage.
However, as the transformation technology for the Forbidden Army became mature and the armament began to be standardized, the standards for selecting personnel became even more stringent. What was once a casual selection now turned into an application system.
Only dragon-men with war accomplishments from their ancestors or themselves were qualified to apply. After rigorous selection, they could join the reserves of the Forbidden Army and undergo multiple layers of biological transformation.
Noah gave the Forbidden Army a quota of a thousand. Currently, they are nearing three hundred members. While this sounds incomplete compared to ordinary battle groups, it’s mainly due to the uniqueness of the Forbidden Army.
Each member of the Forbidden Army is an absolute elite selected through countless battles, with a dragon blood concentration comparable to that of half-dragons. work of roots reflecting one grand and magnificent landscape after another.
This Golden Tree seemed like the embodiment of fate; any creature connected to Noah would be reflected within it.
All beings whose destiny lines were disturbed by Noah’s presence appear within, and their every action provides different nutrients to the Golden Tree, producing distinct fruits.
During his long youth, Noah rarely consumed the fruits because single fruits were no longer useful for significantly boosting his power. Therefore, Noah had to accumulate them endlessly, until today, until now.
Among the nebulae, within the crown of the Golden Divine Wood, red clouds spread, purple mist floated, blue light shimmered, and gold rustled. Yet among them, a vortex of dark gas like a black hole, sufficient to overshadow all the fruits, left Noah unconsoled by the bountiful harvest and made him first collapse.
"Why are there still so many?"
Usually, what Noah consumed the most were the Dark Fruits. But as his dominion expanded, not only did other fruits’ production rates increase, but the growth of the Dark Fruits also accelerated, remaining the most produced.
Despite using many methods to suppress it, the effect was quite limited. Nevertheless, Noah never gave up trying, as he did not want to risk the explosive growth in Dark Fruit production following indulgence and his consequent fate.
Though the taste of the Dark Fruits was indescribable, Noah had to admit that it was one of the main reasons he remained willing to focus on the mundane and care for the common people.
Even after awakening, standing at the pinnacle of the secular world, because of the existence of the Dark Fruits, he would certainly pay attention to the impact on his order and his subjects.
Receiving the disgrace of the state considers one the master of the society; receiving the omen of the state considers one the king of the world.
This sentence is a perfect interpretation of the Dark Fruit. Thus, no matter how much Noah disliked these fruits, every transformation, the first he consumed would inevitably be the Dark Fruit.
"Is this trying to force me to become a Holy God?"
Noah extended his Dragon Claw, lightly touching the edge of the black vortex, which immediately collapsed, transforming into endless dark gas that enveloped Noah’s consciousness in the nebula. The originally dignified and majestic Golden Dragon instantly morphed into a Black Dragon, roaring in pain.
