Chapter 668: Wild Beasts Evolution, Brothers Agree to Battle
"Hades has also cultivated a Monster."
Looking at Tyr, who could clash head-on with Typhon without falling behind, Shiki couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
As Linlin and Titan's Child, Shiki himself already had very high expectations for Tyr.
But, Tyr's combatant strength had already far exceeded Shiki's expectations.
To be able to grow to this extent, what's needed isn't just potential, but the ability to quickly convert that potential into strength.
Typhon's growth until now, besides terrifying potential and powerful Devil Fruit ability.
To help Typhon develop his Devil Fruit, the Big Mom Pirates invested a large amount of resources, helping Typhon collect the blood of various creatures and Strongmen.
At the same time, along the way, he didn't know how many great battles he had experienced.
In his teens, Typhon began campaigning everywhere.
Before he was even twenty, he was already a Monster shaking the Great Sea with his might, leading the Monster Legion to clash head-on with the Marines.
He killed a Marine Admiral and escaped under the siege of multiple Top Tier Combatants from the World Government.
In comparison, Tyr, who didn't have much of a battle record, gave them a huge surprise.
"The Pluto Pirates truly cannot be underestimated."
Reinhardt, beside Shiki, nodded in recognition.
Over the past decade or so, the Pluto Pirates haven't intervened in the conflicts on the Great Sea, nor have they even expanded their Territory.
But the Pluto Pirates' overall strength has been continuously increasing.
Especially since the older generation of Strongmen are at their peak, and the younger generation has grown up.
During this period, the Pluto Pirates' overall strength is undoubtedly the strongest, and they are still in their rising period.
Perhaps in ten or more years' time, when the older generation of Strongmen from the Pluto Pirates retreat behind the scenes, only then will the Pluto Pirates' strength decline.
Even if it declines, it won't decline by much.
After the new generation, there will be another new generation.
The Pluto Pirates' development is healthy; behind the scenes, they also have the support of the Kronos Kingdom, a Superpower with extensive influence within the World.
There are also "Pluto" Hades and "Glutton" Titan, two Monsters who cannot be ignored, hidden behind the scenes.
"Hahahaha! Why so nervous? It was just a friendly greeting, Tyr."
As the core of the conflict, facing Tyr's questioning, Typhon, although possessing an imposing aura, didn't have the slightest bit of killing intent on his body.
They are biological brothers; although naturally opposed, they are not enemies.
Neither Typhon nor Tyr are fools.
On the contrary, Typhon is very intelligent, and his brain has even undergone mutation evolution.
And Tyr, how could he be any less? He's a graduate of the Royal Military Academy.
In terms of their stance, they have even less reason to attack and destroy the other party.
Even if the two of them are naturally mutually exclusive, having grown up in different environments until now, they aren't unable to counter even this kind of instinct.
On the contrary, this kind of natural repulsive psychology instead made the two of them begin to connect.
At least, regarding this biological brother of his, Typhon is very curious: under "Pluto" Hades's command, exactly what extent can he grow up to?
In the clash many years ago, although Tyr fell into a disadvantage facing him, Typhon did not underestimate Tyr.
Because at that time, Tyr hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit.
The stronger Tyr's strength, the more excited Typhon became.
Because Tyr is his biological brother.
If he were too weak, it would instead be his shame.
If that were the case, Typhon might find an opportunity to kill Tyr.
This is exactly Typhon's mindset.
Now, after a brief clash, he has witnessed Tyr's strength.
Typhon became excited, and intense fighting spirit erupted from his body.
Typhon didn't have hostility; Tyr could feel it.
"A friendly greeting?"
Hearing these words, Tyr couldn't help but feel somewhat speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
If only Typhon had made a move, that would have been fine.
But all the Strongmen from the Monster Legion that Typhon brought made a move, instantly stimulating the emotions of both sides to such an intense degree.
It made Tyr not know what to say.
Anyone seeing it would think both sides were about to erupt into a great battle!
However, facing this brother of his, who already shook the Great Sea with his might, a surge of fighting spirit also erupted within Tyr's heart.
He never thought he was inferior to Typhon.
"Let's stop here.
Paros Island can't tolerate you guys causing trouble here.
After the Sword Tournament ends, if you want, find a place, and I'll properly fight you."
Tyr's gaze swept around, then said in a deep voice.
"Then it's a deal."
Typhon grinned; his objective had already been achieved.
He thought Tyr's strength wouldn't disappoint him, and maybe he could even gain a long-term opponent.
After all, in Monster Paradise, there is only the development of Factions and the cultivation of more Monsters.
Not many are valued and actively cultivated by Typhon; it mostly depends on their own fierce fighting.
And Typhon himself merely paid with his own blood.
However, the quantity of blood is very large.
Typhon not only needs to satisfy the newly arrived members and bestow blood upon them, but even more so needs to satisfy the countless wild beasts in the Beast Zone.
Compared to the Core Zone, the Beast Zone is the real main part.
Typhon doesn't know how much blood he needs to pay; at least he needs to drain himself dry many times over.
Wanting to satisfy all the wild beasts is impossible.
Or rather, Typhon doesn't have that much free time to make all the wild beasts drink the Monster Blood.
At the beginning, Typhon would prepare a large amount of Monster Blood at once and spread it into the Rivers of the Beast Zone, but that was too wasteful, and the effect was too slow.
Later, he would disperse containers storing blood throughout the various places in the Beast Zone, letting all the wild beasts go and compete.
Every time is a gluttonous feast, with wild beasts engaging in mutual fierce fighting; the Strongmen remain strong, and latecomers surpass the old-timers.
Bringing the Gu Cultivation Strategy to the extreme.
Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength; those who can seize the opportunity naturally have an advantage in the subsequent mutation evolution process.
The current "Pig Head Emperor" rose precisely by relying on this opportunity, quickly becoming the absolute overlord of a section of the Beast Zone.
And possesses terrifying recovery power that can be called an undying body.
Even if an arm is cut off, it can completely grow back within just a few seconds.
Any injury is unable to threaten the "Pig Head Emperor"'s life.
Even if his head is cut off, he still possesses mobility; as long as the head is put back, he can completely recover.
As the second Monster to rise.
Just like the "Super Mammoth" Ligaru.
The "Pig Head Emperor" was also bestowed the name Krut by Typhon.
In Monster Paradise, every few days, Typhon needs to preserve a certain amount of blood as a reserve without damaging his own body.
Typhon's connections with other Monsters on the Great Sea cannot be said to be close, nor does he have the interest to run all the way over to battle them.
Charlotte Linlin is even more so his Mother.
Actively provoking the Marines, although the Monster Legion possesses this kind of strength, there's no need for it.
The Monster Legion still needs time for development, and the numerous Monsters in Monster Paradise all still need time for evolution.
The birth of the Regal Mammoth can be said to have occupied most of the Beast Zone's resources, as well as Typhon's deliberate cultivation.
Now, the "Pig Head Emperor" Krut has only just risen not long ago and still needs enough time to devour and evolution.
As the "Beast King," Krut's own aura can still influence kin creatures to carry out evolution using himself as a template.
He can even, like Typhon bestowing blood upon others, give his own flesh and blood to his kin to eat, promoting their transformation towards becoming Pig Head Humanoids.
Now, beside the "Pig Head Emperor" Krut, he already possesses a Legion of a few hundred Pig Head Humanoids.
Similarly possessing this kind of ability is also the "Ant King" Meruem.
As the King of wild beasts, Meruem is undoubtedly a Monster possessing a King's bearing.
However, under Typhon, it's impossible for their Conqueror's Haki to awaken; even if they inherently possess it, it will fall dormant.
This doesn't mean their potential disappears; instead, by combining their own Beast King aura, they form a certain kind of special force field.
They are able to use themselves as a medium to influence their kin to continuously evolution using themselves as a template.
Just like the "Pig Head Emperor" Krut possesses a Legion of Pig Head Humanoids.
The "Ant King" Meruem saw a certain kind of possibility from Krut and similarly began to cultivate his own Chimera Ant Army.
Whether it is the "Ant King" Meruem or the "Pig Head Emperor" Krut, regarding their own races, they are all like smaller versions of Typhon.
As for Ulquiorra and Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, they similarly possess this kind of potential, and achieving it wouldn't be a problem, but they aren't interested.
With Tyr present, Typhon is equivalent to having one more long-term battle opponent.
