Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188 - Taming the Old World - Exiguous

Selthia stood before the tower.

And she was, she had to admit, genuinely impressed.

She hadn’t anticipated this much genius from the handsome boy... She knew Ren possessed raw, explosive talent, she had measured his growth up close, conversed with him inside the net, and felt the absolute precision of his ethereal control firsthand.

But bending Metal, an elemental affinity that virtually no one on the planet could perceive or manipulate today, and using it to engineer an architectural monstrosity of this caliber? A dual-layered fortress featuring an almost-adamantium chassis housing a Diamond-rank wooden core, directly plugged into a primordial planetary mana vein to absorb steadily without exploding, that was an entirely different tier of engineering.

The boy’s understanding had evolved significantly faster than the crystal’s predictive models had calculated. And the crystal had been calculating variables for a very long time.

Even so, she wasn’t worried about the tower.

She could tear it down. It would require a methodical, sustained expenditure of resources, but she possessed the capability to reduce it to rubble in the end, provided she utilized her mechanical artifacts intelligently and prevented the diamond-energy-plated roots from encasing her biological chassis completely.

A structure like this, no matter how brilliantly designed, remained a static structure. It possessed absolute limits. And the corruption was exceptional at finding those exact breaking points.

Her true concern lay elsewhere.

She was actively calculating what the human defenders would sacrifice to prevent her from reaching her ultimate objective.

Selthia was intimately familiar with humanity’s high-tier trump cards.

There were desperate gambits that would undoubtedly prove to be a massive headache, tactical plays that would cost her precious momentum if the defenders had the sheer audacity to execute them.

The most obvious counter was siphoning an overwhelming volume of primordial energy directly from their second subterranean chamber. It was no secret to her; they had executed that exact insane maneuver once before in history, when King Dragarion had weaponized that very current to forcefully freeze her crystal network, rendering him temporarily unstoppable.

They could easily repeat the trick. They could deliberately sacrifice a handful of high-tier Tamers to channel that raw, unadulterated ether changing power. In fact, she knew they possessed at least ten or more individuals capable of pulling the conversion process if they pooled most of their collective stamina.

If they played that card, if they descended upon her frontline overflowing with the devastating, volatile energy of ancient dragons, the equation would become exponentially more complicated.

Yet, Selthia had prepared for that exact contingency too.

Despite the staggering variables, she was ready. She believed she understood the battlefield she was dominating.

She had spent centuries plotting this exact hour, quietly breeding her endless army in the dark, mutating her bio-mechanical artifact into a predator that the vast majority of the city’s population lacked the minimum output to damage. She had arrived equipped for every rational counterattack a logical enemy could possibly mount.

The primordial energy of the dragons was accounted for. It was written into her ledger.

And so, she did not hesitate.

She pushed forward.
