After the protective magic circle that saved Xia Hui City performed exceptionally and the Giant of Light appeared, Adelbert fell into a coma.
It's not a big deal, it's just that my mental energy is exhausted and my soul is a little shaken.
After knowing that Adalbert had woken up, Ian went over as soon as possible and did a full set of checks on his left and right arms to confirm that the dazed researcher did not appear to have "another life in his body."
The outer universe may be a super-civilized consciousness in the virtual realm, or it may be carrying a divine light rod with it, or something like that.
Everything was fine with him, which made Ian quite sorry.
"If the Giant of Light really exists, how can there be so much shit in the universe of Terra?"
Ian sighed, but Adalbert was in high spirits: "Ian, I feel very good! I seem to have awakened my spiritual power!"
This is the most important point - what spiritual power has he awakened?
"Gather your insignificant hearts and turn them into majestic divine power."
Ian mobilized the computing power of the Heart of Terra, allowing himself to observe Adlbert's psychic model and extract his key words bit by bit. The prophet looked a little solemn: "Your psychic power... is very strong."
"However, it is too difficult to use!"
Adebert's psychic power would have been impossible for Terra to use in the past.
Because the necessary condition for this psionic power is that all participants have souls. Yes, this is a multi-person psionic power.
When Adalbert was alone, his spiritual power manifested itself in the form of "the firmer he was, the stronger his defense." It was a very strong life-saving psychic power, and his defense was close to Miles's protection.
It has strength, but it has no other strength except defense, and can only protect itself.
However, if there are other people with souls who recognize Adebert's beliefs and resonate with him, then Adelbert's defense will be further improved. As the number of participants increases, he will even begin to improve his ability to control the source of matter.
The power of energy.
When the number of people with energy and resonance exceeds a certain number, all spiritual energy can even be briefly erupted, transforming into a huge virtual entity (giant of light), and inflicting horrific blows on the enemy.
"Isn't this just charging and transforming?"
Ian commented: "It's thanks to me that I gave you Xia Hui Ling's energy system authority. Otherwise, with Xia Hui Ling's resonance, I might not be able to meet your psychic activation standards."
Adlbert's spiritual power requires huge energy, huge computing power, and a huge soul support burden to be fully utilized. To put it simply, it cannot be used by one person at all.
From the beginning, Adelbert's belief was not just about himself - he himself had no wishes or obsessions. Many times he just couldn't see how many people were suffering in this world, so he wanted to change.
It's just that Adalbert himself doesn't even know how to change. He has a strong mind, but he can't imagine the future.
He has powerful "techniques" but no "methods" and "paths".
Ian told him about the future and gave him a land to protect - Ian shared his own path with him.
In the Silver Peak Territory, he finally understood many things, such as how the future world should be considered beautiful, what kind of order he should protect, and which direction his intelligence should be directed in.
Therefore, from the beginning, he was not for himself, but for everyone. In this case, everyone's strength will also become his strength.
This is a spiritual power that Ian cannot awaken.
He can make others yearn for him, follow him, and trust him, but Ian cannot "believe" in others.
For him, other human beings are too fragile, and can even be said to be weak. Echoers who transcend death and time and space can only believe in themselves and all "selves" from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yes, this psychic power has great potential."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ian patted the shoulder of Adlbert on the hospital bed, but he felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, the requirements for this psychic ability are too high and it is difficult to copy - where can I find a second one?"
How can someone like you awaken this kind of spiritual power?"
"There will always be...right? I think there should be some people similar to me in this world."
Adlbert himself was actually a little afraid to confirm. He hesitated and said: "At present, there are not that many places that need to be protected?"
"There will be more in the future. Not to mention that I will conquer all of Terra in the future. Even now, if I integrate the entire South Ridge, there will be at least seven or eight places that need to be protected."
Ian shook his head slightly: "Even if you can defend four or five places by yourself, at least another one of you is needed to protect the entire Nanling."
In any case, whether there is any problem with Adlbert, he is very happy: "Take good care of your body. This is your own awakening and the power you control. It is not the dead king, it purely belongs to you."
"I think you can now try to integrate your own meditation methods and spiritual powers, and try to master your unique arcane path."
Ian's arcane path is based on fairies and the Immovable Realm. This "Legacy of Steel" is something that only he can handle.
As for Adebert's spiritual power, his understanding of the souls and dead kings, his grasp of his own spiritual power, as well as the computing power and source core that are common to arcane paths... they may all allow him to find a different path.
Yu Ian's "Legacy of Steel" system.
A heritage called "Light".
Speaking of light...Ian suddenly thought of a person.
"Loren."
Ian said thoughtfully: "Although Loren's holy light is different from yours, if you think about it carefully, it has altruistic properties."
"Moreover, the power of the Holy Light can naturally attract people to yearn for and revere..."
"Well, Adlbert, you have time to talk to that kid Dolores in the future... I have a hunch that your "Giant of Light" psychic power and his "Holy Light" may have a lot of potential.
Interesting linkage."
"My psychic power is called 'Hearts of All'." Adalbert reminded: "It's not the giant of light."
"I understand, Giant of Light."
Things related to the development of psionics and other heritages are always very complicated, but overall, everything is thriving and moving in a good direction.
Both Adlbert and Loren can find a way forward, and Ian does not need to worry about them, which makes Ian quite relieved.
After making sure that Adlbert was fine, Ian immediately captured him and worked overtime with him.
This was not because Ian was squeezing Adalbert. The main reason was that the researcher asked very thoughtfully, "Do you need any help from me?", and Ian's answer was of course "Yes!"
Therefore, Adalbert, who had just woken up half an hour ago, accompanied Ian to the virtual realm to see the devil.
To be precise, it was the fusion demon "Confused Heart" that Ian captured during the Xiahui airship attack.
Doubtful Heart has been imprisoned by Ian and is now sleeping in a square psychic container.
This is a soul body composed of a large number of purple-red ribbons. It is very chaotic as a whole. It does not have the slightest form of a regular assembly of the Void Realm Machine God, Ian and others. It looks a bit like tangled seaweed, but if you look closely,
, but you can see a large number of tiny barbs in those purple-red psychic light strips.
These barbs have no lethality, but they allow this soul to easily hang on other soul bodies and exert its own influence.
"This is the soul of the devil. This fusion of devil's spiritual power is an extremely rare "charm ability", but the original essential desire is actually "the desire for attention." He hopes that his parents can pay attention to him and not ignore him, so he got
This kind of spiritual power can gain people's favor and attention."
Ian pointed at the bewitched soul and explained: "But after becoming a demon, the spiritual power was distorted and strengthened - the original favor and attention turned into a compulsory obedience. The person who was charmed, no matter what he got,
Whatever the order is, even if it means making people die for deception, they will be willing to do so."
"A very terrifying brainwashing ability. If it is paired with the soul seal, God knows how terrifying it will be."
Ian was very emotional and serious when he said this
, but the listener always feels that something is not quite right.
Are you sure you're not talking about yourself?
Adlbert couldn't help but look sideways at Ian, who had a serious face, but when he thought about it carefully, it was different.
Ian can achieve similar effects without using psychic powers at all, which is obviously more terrifying than confusing the mind!
Now, the Silver Peak leader has two fused demon captives, "Rong Ying" and "Gan Xin".
Ian has never seen what a real demon looks like, so he needs Adalbert to come and tell the difference.
"Look, how are they different from real demons?"
Ian asked seriously: "Also, is this fusion technology... somewhat similar to the Dead River Arms?"
"Somewhat similar."
When it came to technical issues, Adalbert became serious. He got close to the past, carefully observed the soul form of Dou Xin, and then came to the conclusion: "It is almost the same as when Viscount Avak was almost assimilated by the Dead River Armed Forces in the end."
"The human soul's initial form in the virtual realm is a "ball". This is the original and perfect form. No matter who it is, even the chosen psyker, before he realizes his own soul, he is a
Round ball."
"On this basis, the more orderly the soul is, the more regular the geometry will be formed by those who abide by the rules and live in society."
"There are also different geometric shapes, such as hexagonal souls, which represent that the holders of souls like to integrate into the collective, because they can build a stable structure with countless similar souls."
"The eight-sided prism like me is more lonely because it is difficult to fit in with other prisms."
"As for Ian, you Metatron Cube... It proves that although you follow your own inner order extremely, you hardly recognize anyone."
"As for the devil..."
Adalbert lifted the confused soul, observed it carefully, and then shook his head: "Demons are absolutely chaotic, and it is impossible to understand other people, and it is impossible to join forces. The order of demons is only the simplest "big and small" "
"Strong or weak". Therefore, their souls have such irregular, pictographic patterns."
"But according to what you said, Ian, the fusion of demons has overcome this essence - the army of demons? This technology developed by Feiyandi is a bit strange."
"That's what I mean."
Ian thought: "It is impossible for demons to obey other people's orders. But Feiyandi has used a certain technology that allows demons to become an army... If we can find the key, can we directly disintegrate Feiyan?
The demonic army of the Fire Land?"
"It's difficult, but it's not hopeless." Adalbert has looked through the confusing soul from the inside out. This is the power of meditation, which allows people to carve the shape of their soul with their own power.
Carry out the most essential self-transformation.
At the same time, those who practice meditation have extremely strong control over their own soul power, and can even indirectly interfere with other souls who have no power to resist.
"I see."
After all, Adlbert had also studied some of the techniques of the Dead River Arms. After careful observation, he came to some understanding: "Ian, look at the soul core of this mind-bending demon."
Ian leaned over to take a look and found that the core of the mind-bending demon was a blackened gem-like object.
[The Confused Demon Ace Nirmathas]
[Second Energy Level·Chimera·Excellence·Innately Intelligent Creatures·Void Realm Fusion Creatures·Devil's Fallen Transformation]
[This individual has been transformed by abyss technology and has become a special virtual monster, and its life essence has been converted into a demon]
Ian looked at Adlbert, waiting for an explanation, while the white-haired researcher scratched his head: "The crystal of the gem is synonymous with natural order, and its crystallization sequence itself represents a kind of order... If we say that the fusion of the demon core is
If it is these spiritual gems, then it means that their order thinking
Vitus resides in these gems."
"Let's put it this way, Ian. These fusion demons are basically pure demons, but these demons don't have a "brain"."
"And the human souls residing in these gems are their brains. With the power of these specially processed ectoplasm gems, we can resist the erosion of resentment, and use human will to control the power of demons."
When talking about this, Adlbert was quite emotional: "In fact, the same principle applies to the Death River Arms. The Death River Arms itself is the body of the Void Sea Blood Demon, and the wearer is the driver who turns himself into the Blood Demon's power -
—It’s just that the purpose of the Death River Arms is to convert people into blood demons, but the fusion demon technology does not want to fuse, but to ensure the purity of people’s thinking.”
"I think this is probably the reason why the man-made demons in the Flying Flame Land will not be wiped out by the "Void Realm Machine God", because they are still human in nature, they just use the power of demons."
——What kind of devil girl? If the magic gem is contaminated, she will become a real devil, right?
And it seems that Feiyandi is not lying. They have really created an artificial demon system where the enemy and we are of the same origin? Then when will the Demon Mask X warrior also appear?
Ian had a lot of problems in his heart, but he couldn't express them for a while. He vaguely felt that things were not that simple. "But I tortured Zhuoxin before, and he told me that the reward promised to him by Nirmathas was to be promoted to
"Big Devil".
"Such a simple consciousness lodging technology will definitely not be able to meet the conditions for promotion to a great devil. If they have such strong resentment, they will directly turn into real devils."
The real devil cannot be controlled, and Feiyandi cannot do this.
"That means they must have a sublimation technology based on this core gem.
Adlbert said firmly: "The Great Demon City has the power of "immortal memory and immortal demons". If the memories related to them are not forgotten, they will not completely disappear, so they can only seal or weaken the guards.
But the price is that the new demon that is resurrected every time is not the original one."
"Man-made demons will definitely not be so wasteful. They must ensure that they are controlled by the same person. I am wondering, is this possible? It is remote control...just like the dragon soul, which separates the soul core from the body.
But to ensure the transmission of information in a virtual realm, and to control an immortal body to fight while isolating the pollution from the power of demons..."
"Phylactery?"
Ian somewhat understood the concept: "Devil Lich?"
"What is a lich?" Adalbert asked curiously, and Ian explained to him: an immortal monster that preserves the essence of life in an extremely strong and almost immortal "box."
The outer body is irrelevant, even if it is destroyed, it can be revived again."
Speaking of this, Ian suddenly thought of the names of the super troops on the way to the Star-ending Road in the Flying Flame Land.
immortal person……
"Interesting, this is probably true, the immortal demon army? The immortal lich army?"
Adlbert does understand demons, and the possibility he mentioned may really be the final result of Feiyandi's technology - from this point of view, it is no wonder that some people are tempted by demon technology, which is a mixture of immortality and self-sublimation.
The triple possible path to the ascension of civilization is indeed an irresistible temptation for the Terran people.
"Devils and lichs, an interesting mix." Ian murmured a few words with a strange look on his face, and then smiled: "Yes, there are similar legends about demons. Their origins are in the abyss, and those who appear in the material world are just
The projection, if the projection is destroyed, although it will be injured, it will not really die."
"Then, is there any way to cut off this communication? Let all the fused demons and artificial demons turn into uncontrollable real demons, and then summon the virtual realm machine gods to destroy them?" Ian asked.
"have!"
Adalbert nodded without hesitation, but then quickly shook his head regretfully: "But I won't!"
"I have never been exposed to this technology. It was probably studied locally in Feiyan Land and has not been handled in the Awak laboratory, so I don't know the specific details. And if you want the virtual realm machine god to identify these artificial demons, you need to
Break the core, but break the core
The heart and the devil are dead, and there is absolutely no point in summoning the Void Realm Machine God."
"that's enough."
Ian nodded slightly. Adlbert was worthy of being the chief researcher of the Awak Laboratory. He indeed knew far better about demons than he did, and he found the essence of Feiyan Land's artificial demon technology so quickly.
"Then what's the weakness?"
He asked, and Adlbert thought for a moment, and then said: "Except for the core gem, their actions require a lot of resentment to block the perception of other creatures in the virtual realm."
"I guess the reason why they carried out scorched earth tactics was to create a black realm in the virtual realm. After all, artificial demons are not real demons. As long as they suppress the spread of resentment and prevent them from arbitrarily blocking the perception of the virtual realm machine gods, their actions
The ability is not that elusive."
"However, the virtual realm machine god can only move in the virtual realm. Now the demon legions in the Flying Flame Land basically operate in the material world. This is not a shortcoming at all."
"They can even avoid the artillery fire of the material world by hiding in the virtual realm. It is indeed quite inexplicable. It is indeed the core technology of Feiyandi."
"Yeah?"
But after Ian heard this sentence, he had an idea in his mind: "You mean...as long as we can find a group of virtual realm machine gods squatting next to the cursed black soil, then these artificial demons can only
When you stay in the material world, you can't just shuttle back and forth like before?"
"Yes."
Adalbert nodded, but he was a little confused: "But Ian, the information you gave me shows that these man-made demons are also very powerful in the material world - almost all of them have between the first and second energy levels.
With the power of time, ordinary artillery fire cannot reduce their numbers at all."
"This is not a weakness," the researcher emphasized.
"Then it only needs to be unusual artillery fire."
Ian already had an idea in his mind. He smiled and raised his head to look at the sky: "I can only say that preparation in advance will definitely be effective."
"As for now, let's wake up this little demon."
Looking at Confused Ian, he said calmly: "I may need him in some places in my plan later."
