In June 779 of Terra, the 'Apocalypse' level biohazard appeared around Harrison Port in the South Ridge Province of the Setal Empire.
The giant parasite swarm named 'Heart-eating Worms' has spread throughout the southern ridge of the empire, and is continuing to spread at a high speed.
The infected person will fall into an abnormal state of frenzy, then turn violent and become a bloodthirsty beast, looking for all edible nutrients to eat, and is good at obtaining enough flesh and blood through killing people.
After obtaining enough nutrients, the infected person will enter a 'transformation' state and be wrapped in a huge flesh cocoon - the transformed infected person will break out of the cocoon and return to the state of youth and prosperity, and possess normal wisdom, but
But he was completely controlled by the swarm of insects and became the fleshy shell of the heart-eating insects.
In other words, a strange semi-independent individual.
At the same time, the derivatives of the insect swarm named 'cact' are assimilating local plants. Although Archbishop Tianyan of the Huaiguang Church has tried his best to prevent the spread of the fungus, the Governor of Nanling, Marquis Barton, and the
The 19th and 23rd Legions all assisted in the attack, and several third-level powerhouses wandering in Nanling also came to assist, but they could only barely ensure that the fungus carpet would not continue to spread in Nanling.
Currently, the empire has mobilized fourth-level experts. The leader of the Cangyun Knights, Thunder Caller, and his knight attendants have left the Byson Fortress, but there is no guarantee that the insect nest can be completely contained.
diffusion.
The Setal Empire, the Absalom bloodline countries in the Flying Flame Land, Whale Song Cliff and the Canaan Moorish Federation all received the highest level of alert from the Huaiguang Church at the first time. In just two hours, related
The person in charge and the top management have already gathered together under the auspices of Huaiguang Church, Spiritual Equipment Church and All Souls Hall.
Whether it is a crisis or a disaster, it is divided into three levels.
The third level of ‘turmoil’, the second level of ‘catastrophe’ and the first level of ‘apocalypse’.
‘Unrest’ is exactly what it means. A powerful monster, an out-of-control weapon from a pre-era civilization, or a large-scale spread of poisonous disease will cause a region to malfunction and become unstable. These factors belong to this class.
The most common one is probably that the second-level totem master monsters controlled by the Sequoia Aboriginals lose control and start to madly attack all the settlements of intelligent life in Nanling... This is a relatively typical 'turmoil'.
But in fact, whether it is a group of first-level monsters, such as a group of thunder-hunting jellyfish migrating, or a third-level giant monster attacking a city, they are all at this level.
The second level of 'catastrophe' also has no fixed level standard. As long as it can cause a large-scale local ecosystem imbalance and cause large-scale casualties, whether it is an earthquake, a volcanic eruption or something like Dawn City, which was destroyed by the fourth level,
Attacks by titan beasts of higher energy levels are all 'catastrophes'.
However, the first level of ‘Apocalypse’ is different.
Regardless of whether the disaster it represents is bacteria, viruses, fifth-level dragons or other titanic beasts, or even a war of destruction between two countries, or an 'apocalypse' level disaster, it actually represents only one
thing.
That is, it is enough to threaten the normal operation of the entire human society.
Therefore, no matter how high the credibility of Huaiguang Church is, some people will still choose to question it.
"Are the heart-eating insects really an apocalypse-level threat? As long as a few fourth-level experts take action, they can be easily eradicated, right?"
Such doubts are not uncommon, and they are not accusations that will cause public outrage - after all, Huaiguang Church often engages in 'alarmism'.
They always like to adjust the danger level upward by half a level, and then use a relatively easy method to suppress the disaster when it makes everyone extremely nervous.
After all, although the heart-eating worm swarm is dangerous, it is still much inferior to the 'Qijela Karin Incident' that happened in Yanjiang that year, and it should not be regarded as an apocalyptic-level crisis.
Even compared to the many insect nests that Huaiguang Church had wiped out in the past, it was slightly inferior.
Three hundred years ago, a third-level Yanjiang sublimator named 'Qijela Karin' unearthed an ultra-ancient plant from the ruins that could enhance human body activity.
The ancient plant 'Karin's Flower' was named after the discoverer. Its pollen can make people active in thinking and full of energy, no matter day or night. Therefore, it was loved by all men, women and children in the Yanjiang countries at that time.
Welcomed and planted on a large scale.
It is said that in the first year after the 'Flower of Karin' was excavated, the fertility rate in the Yanjiang countries immediately increased by ten percent, and there were almost no side effects - except maybe a little tired.
Obviously, the Flower of Karin could not be blocked, and it spread rapidly to all parts of Yanjiang within a few years.
This special pre-era civilization plant can indeed improve people's work efficiency. Some sublimators even claim that using the pollen of Karin's flower as an auxiliary ingredient for potions can make advancement easier, and this method
Known as the 'Pollen Road' and 'The Way of Pollen', ascendants who use this advancement have even formed an order of Holy Flower Knights, aiming to spread this strange plant.
But it was at this time that some residents of Yanjiang said that they began to connect with other people's thoughts in their sleep, and they began to feel endless happiness and peace, and all of this was brought by the Flower of Karin.
A huge religion quickly took shape, and in a short period of time it formed a political entity that could influence the policies of the countries in Yanjiang. Even in some remote small towns, the Knights of the Holy Flower replaced the basically paralyzed officialdom and became a local force of practical significance.
ruler above.
This triggered the alert of the Huaiguang Church and Shuoming Church stationed in Yanjiang, and the top leaders of the Yanjiang countries also realized that something was wrong.
In any case, it all happened too fast, and many people didn't react to it at all.
But they couldn't stop it.
On a seemingly ordinary night, tens of millions of Yanjiang residents fell into a coma in their sleep and never woke up.
And a huge psychic plant appeared in the dreams of everyone in the Yanjiang countries.
That is a giant Karin Flower that has not yet fully bloomed, and in its flower bag, the heart light body of Qijela Karin, the discoverer of the Karin Flower, is undergoing transformation, and a large number of souls have transformed.
The river of creation is flowing into the flower bag, accelerating the sublimation of the light body.
At this moment, some normal Yanjiang people were finally shocked to realize that many of the people around them were no longer the original 'them', but had their souls and minds devoured by the 'Flower of Karin' and replaced them. Manipulated psionic sub-strain.
And all the newborns born after the Flower of Karin spread have no normal minds!
They are born to be the carriers of the flower of Karin.
The sub-strains of this psychic plant can almost perfectly imitate all the daily actions of the person whose mind has been swallowed, and can even conduct normal scientific research, participate in entertainment, and appreciate art, just like normal humans, and even more considerate.
Because the Flowers of Karin understand humans deeply, they will not anger others and ensure the harmony and stability of the entire society as much as possible.
The only flaw is that they will proactively, eagerly, and even almost compulsorily recommend the Flower of Karin to everyone around them.
At this point, conventional means can no longer eliminate the influence of the Flower of Karin, and Qijela Karin, or in other words, the mother body of the Flower of Karin has reached the fifth energy level and is still growing.
This terrifying psychic plant has taken root deep in the earth and human soul space, creating its own nest.
Its heart-light body, "Akron, the River of Death" flows in the collective will of all the tribes in Yanjiang. Wherever it passes, the vegetation is withered and there is no life left. Only the flower of Karin's own spiritual river is left silently. circulation.
The minds of millions of people dissipated into nothingness and merged into one.
In the quiet silence.

Dalia Dursley looked thoughtfully at the recipe for "Avada's Melon."
Gryffindor doesn't like spicy food, Ravenclaw follows the sauce rules, Slytherin respects the original taste of ingredients, and Hufflepuff says it's okay to eat it!
Voldemort was killing people more than ten years ago just to boycott microwave ovens in the non-magical world?
Is there something wrong?
What about Hogwarts and the Wizarding World?!
Dalia casually took out her beloved kitchen knife and waved it, "Ma Po Tofu!"
The next moment, raging flames surged out.
She sighed.
"This should be considered magic, right? It's just that there may be something wrong with my way of traveling..."
