"Priest?"
Benjamin heard the report from the Black Giant leader, and his first reaction was surprise.
The Black Giant was a bioweapon he had personally designed and modified, with the core requirent being stability and control.
Although endowed with extrely high intelligence, combat capability, and growth potential, everything should be within his preset frawork.
This spontaneous ergence of a role like "Priest," which clearly leans towards societal and cultural functions, theoretically should never occur.
But this surprise lasted only a mont, as Benjamin instinctively cast his gaze outside the laboratory window—though he couldn’t see it, his perception was accurately capturing the slowly and firmly operating Incense Fire Divine Dao network covering the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
"Ah... Incense Fire Divine Dao." He murmured to himself, a flash of understanding in his eyes.
The core of Incense Fire Divine Dao is to guide faith, gather the power of civilization, and transform the mundane into the divine.
It influences not only energy but also subtly affects the intelligent creatures residing within.
The Black Giant clan, as the sole and core residents recognized by the Incense Fire Divine Dao on the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, provide faith and Red Dust Qi and are inevitably shaped by the feedback of this power.
The ergence of the Priest is precisely a leap in the qualitative evolution of the clan after the accumulation of such feedback—it marks their shift from pure combat weapons towards becoming a complete civilization capable of constructing social structures, creating culture and faith.
"Let’s go and take a look." Benjamin suppressed the surge in his heart and spoke to the Black Giant leader.
Benjamin had taken an interest in this matter; he needed to witness this historical mont firsthand.
Following the leader, Benjamin arrived at a huge incubation pool deep within the plane.
Many Black Giants had already gathered here, silently surrounding the pool, their formidable appearance under which a solemn expectancy could be sensed.
Another Fifth Level Black Giant leader stood guard like a black mountain.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Benjamin asked casually.
Upon Benjamin’s arrival, the guarding leader bowed and reported, "Master, we have waited for one day."
"One day?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew the efficiency of the incubation pool; it only took a minute to mass-produce a standard Black Giant warrior.
And this special individual consud a whole day of the incubation pool’s energy and ti?
This was enough to indicate its terrifying potential.
Benjamin said no more and simply waited quietly.
As ti passed, the energy fluctuations within the incubation pool grew increasingly intense, as though a vortex was frantically siphoning power from the pool’s bottom.
With a thought, Benjamin connected through the Magic Network Terminal to the plane’s control array, cautiously channeling one-millionth of the Seventh Level Large Elental Pool’s energy.
In an instant, a vast and pure elental flood was guided in, injecting into the incubation pool, causing the pool’s energy aura to almost solidify.
At this mont, as the energy converged to its peak, Benjamin keenly sensed a faint yet pure special power beginning to emanate from the gathered Black Giant population.
Having deeply researched the Divine Power Faith Network, Benjamin imdiately recognized it as the Power of Faith!
These originally scattered faith thoughts were captured, purified, and twisted by the ubiquitous Incense Fire Divine Dao network, ultimately transford into a new energy carrying a faint golden shimr, more orderly and powerful—that was the nascent Incense Fire Divine Power!
This new-born Incense Fire Divine Power seed to find its destination and unhesitatingly infused into the core of the forming embryo in the incubation pool.
Boom!
Accompanied by a roar not from the physical world, but from the soul level, above the incubation pool, light and shadow twisted as a figure slowly coalesced and appeared.
It was indeed a Black Giant.
Its entire body was as black as ink, its surface covered with a flowing tallic liquid layer.
But compared to their towering brethren, his physique could be described as "petite."
Only about a little over two ters tall, with a more slender, gaunt torso, its outline faintly revealing a harmony reminiscent of a human.
Less of the nace of giant beings, with a touch more of unusual robustness.
Floating in the air, he slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes were not the ordinary Black Giant kind that burned with energy flas or were pitch black, but akin to the purest obsidian, deep, calm, and exuding a rational brilliance far surpassing his kin.
His gaze imdiately locked onto Benjamin, without the slightest hesitation, he descended to the ground and moved toward Benjamin’s direction, adopting a solemn posture, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head.
The movents were smooth and natural, filled with reverence and submission, showcasing exceedingly high intelligence and a clear awareness of his status.
"Master." His voice, unlike other Black Giants’ thunderous rumble, was clear and steady.
Benjamin stepped forward, activated the All-Purpose Eye, and began to inspect with the array beside him with great interest.
Basic physical strength, energy absorption, and conversion efficiency, ti manipulation talent... The results indicated that this priest was not inferior to ordinary Black Giant warriors in these aspects despite his form change.
His special traits primarily lay in two areas:
Firstly, this priest seed inherently versed in the complete "Energy" Law.
According to Wizard World’s classification, he was undeniably a Sixth Level creature from the mont of his birth!
This was not acquired through devouring evolution, but an innate talent.
The second was extraordinary intelligence.
Benjamin conducted a few simple logical reasoning and complex information processing tests, and the results surprised him.
Even the highest intelligence Black Giant leader under his command seed like a naive child compared to this priest.
His thought speed, understanding depth, and the completeness of logical chains reached a new height.
However, perhaps due to the Black Giants’ fundantal code ultimately being "bioweapons."
Apart from this astonishing intelligence and innate mastery of energy laws, this new priest did not seem to have awakened traditional supernatural abilities typical of priests, such as healing, prophecy, large-scale blessings, or curses.
Benjamin stroked his chin, scrutinizing the "petite" Black Giant respectfully kneeling before him, calculating rapidly in his mind.
Such high intelligence, such strong law affinity, yet lacking matching "Divine Magic" or special abilities... isn’t this?
Suddenly, Benjamin’s eyes lit up.
"Isn’t this a natural experintal assistant?!"
He no longer hesitated and directly said to the priest, "Follow ."
Returning with this new priest to his main laboratory, Benjamin casually drew a stack of Knowledge Crystals involving high-energy physics and fundantal law theory from the mountainous materials, handing them over.
"Study them, understand them, then tell your insights," Benjamin issued the command, wanting to witness the priest’s learning efficiency firsthand.
The Black Giant priest respectfully received the Knowledge Crystals, and as his obsidian-like eyes glanced over the crystals, innurable streams of data seed to flicker within.
Without any delay, he found a corner, just like the most devoted scholar, imrsing himself in the ocean of knowledge, beginning to read and comprehend rapidly, his posture so focused as if he were born for this purpose.
Watching the diligent back of the new priest, Benjamin nodded in satisfaction.
"If it succeeds... finally, a helper who can keep up with my thoughts..." he turned back with delight, refocusing on the experint table with those shimring obsidian armor fragnts.
