Todd, who was stagnant in the sea, looked at the giant mountain-like creature at his feet and replied: "Yes, I do have some questions about the soul link..."
Leviathan's body swam slowly, and his dull voice filled every corner of the sea: "Follow me."
Todd flapped his dragon wings and followed Leviathan effortlessly as he slowly swam deeper into the ocean.
After swimming for a long time, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared on the originally deep and dark seabed.
Todd used the dragon's vision to look at the seafloor below. Unexpectedly, he saw a city glowing with light.
Todd got closer to the city and saw that the city was full of humanoid creatures with humanoid upper bodies and fish-like lower bodies. These creatures looked very much like the mermaids in previous works. The women had beautiful faces and graceful figures; the men were tall, tall and strong. These creatures
Some people are planting crops similar to kelp on the coral reefs, and some are stocking and feeding a group of transparent and colorful jellyfish. Everyone is busy in this underwater city.
Todd turned his attention to Leviathan and asked in surprise: "Are these people...?"
Leviathan did not respond to Todd's question, but swam its body and slowly approached the city.
The mermaids looked above their heads and finally discovered the existence of Leviathan. They cheered and returned home, took out various instruments, and swam in the direction of the latter.
Thousands of mermaids surrounded Leviathan, swimming and sending their warmest greetings to this behemoth.
Some fishmen put containers filled with fresh food into Leviathan's tentacles; some fishmen used the tools in their hands to carefully clean Leviathan's body.
Todd, who followed Leviathan, also attracted a large number of curious fishmen because of the dragon's appearance.
Some brave fishmen children even swam under Todd's dragon wings, touched the shining dragon scales, and expressed heartfelt admiration.
Leviathan did not stop and kept swimming forward quietly.
However, Todd, who was following him, could feel a hint of deep...sadness from this silent beast.
The enthusiastic fishmen followed Leviathan and swam for a long time until they stopped finning far away from the city.
Todd looked back at the large group of fishmen behind him. Everyone was watching Leviathan leave, and many people were still shouting something excitedly.
Leviathan and Todd swam for a while longer, and finally could no longer see the group of fish-men.
The latter asked the former with full of doubts: "Can you tell me now what's going on?"
Leviathan's voice was low and sad: "These fish-men you see are all wandering souls."
Hearing this, Todd was shocked and asked quickly: "Wait a minute! You mean, there are a lot of souls living in your soul space?"
"Scathach should have told you that the so-called soul is a form of dark matter. Once the soul leaves the physical body due to death or other reasons, it will exist in the world as free dark energy. But this
Energy is very unstable. Under the influence of particles, force fields or waves, it will lose its original structure and change into a more discrete form." Leviathan paused for a moment and then said: "This situation is
Your so-called soul in your previous life is gone."
Todd sighed: "So, you use the soul space as a container to protect these souls that may dissipate at any time. But, I don't understand, how do you do it?"
Leviathan replied: "Dark matter is the starting point for creating a universe. In chaos, the agglomeration of dark matter will form a singularity. Under the influence of dark energy, this singularity will form a creative explosion and form a new
The plane universe. And a soul composed of dark matter can completely simulate the result of the explosion of dark energy singularity, and eventually form a new plane space."
"If the soul is not strong enough, the newly formed space will completely collapse in a very short period of time; but if the soul is strong enough, a stable space will be formed that can be developed and occupied."
Todd asked: "How did these souls move into this space?"
Leviathan said: "It's very simple. The answer is the ability of soul link. Originally, the soul of each creature is like a band of different frequencies, and there will be no intersection with each other. But soul link can adjust the dark energy of the linked person.
structure and incorporate it into the user’s soul space.”
Speaking of this, Todd suddenly remembered that this seemed to really happen.
Boyle's soul once lived in his soul space for a period of time, and then finally dissipated due to exhaustion of energy.
"Compared with the souls of the dead, you can also use soul links to forcibly deprive the souls of the living and imprison them in your own soul space. But this behavior requires more powerful soul power and will also bring about a problem.
A series of unstable factors." Leviathan added: "The stupidest and most direct way to establish a soul link with an organism is through direct physical connection... such as inserting part of one's body directly into the nervous system of the object.
.”
"But in fact, there is a far simpler and more effective method than this, and that is soul seed."
"Soul seed?"
"Separate a small part of the dark matter in your body and bury it in living things or objects like sowing seeds. After that, all living things that come into contact with the sown things will automatically complete the soul link with you and transfer their consciousness into
into your soul space."
Todd suddenly realized: "This is like a viral infection. When an individual is infected with the virus, he can spread the virus to other members through contact."
Leviathan reminded: "Although this method can quickly complete the soul link, it will also greatly increase the burden on the user. Although you have now escaped the human race, in my opinion, your body is still fragile.
Your soul power is as weak as a candle. If you carry out a large number of soul links, it will even trigger the complete collapse of the soul space."
Todd nodded and responded: "I understand, I will proceed with caution... and one last question, can I now introduce the souls of the dead in the past into my soul space for protection like you?"
Leviathan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I don't recommend you to do this. Because, compared to completing the link with a soul and allowing a soul to reside in its own soul space, the latter behavior,
There are higher requirements for the strength of soul power. Think about it, when a soul with independent consciousness enters your space, every action and word it makes will consume your dark energy and affect you.
The balance of dark matter in the body.”
Todd looked back behind him and asked strangely: "Then why do you want to introduce so many souls into your own space?"
"Because they are all..." Leviathan only said half a sentence, then stopped and said nothing.
After a long time, this giant said something like this: "I have my reasons, but even if I tell you now, you won't understand... One day, when you are in the same situation as me, you don't need me to explain,
You will naturally understand why I do this."
After saying this, Leviathan sent Todd out of his soul space and sealed the door to his soul.
