"This method sounds very tempting, but how do we know it is not a trap? When we agree to share a body, your consciousness will launch an attack on us and completely annihilate our consciousness? After all, you are more powerful.
When the time comes, we weak ones will not be able to resist!" Another shadow mistress clone who was not much older than the number six shadow mistress clone asked in return.
They all come from the same origin. Although they have developed self-awareness, part of it is in common. They know how cunning and ruthless the other party is. Their promises cannot be believed at all, because if they were in the other person's shoes, they would probably do the same.
.
"I knew you would say that." Shadow Mistress No. 1's avatar looked prepared, "It's a big joke to believe that we talk about integrity. No one will believe anyone, so we won't deceive ourselves or others.
Yes, but you should believe the contract, right?"
"Contract? What contract can be so binding?" Other Shadow Matrons asked in unison.
"In this world, the only one you can trust is yourself, so our contract is completed by ourselves. We formulate a mutually balanced contract. If any consciousness dares to launch an attack on other consciousnesses, the community will automatically
Activate the obliteration contract and obliterate those who violate the contract. At that time, the control of the corresponding energy will be evenly handed over to other consciousnesses. This will be fair and reasonable!"
Shadow Mistress No. 1's avatar slowly explained her idea, "Once we gain enough power and don't need to maintain the combined state, we can dissolve the contract, go our separate ways with our own power, and create our own."
It is better to have a glorious future of our own than to fight among ourselves for this petty gain."
"What do you think of this proposal?"
"I think this proposal is feasible. It can not only maintain oneself, but also gain greater power to the greatest extent."
"How to ensure the validity of this contract?"
"Didn't No. 1 just say that this contract will be concluded by us together, and everyone is a participant? If you don't trust others, don't you still trust yourself?"
"I believe in myself, but I don't believe in you. Who knows if you will tamper with the contract?"
"You can continue to be suspicious here. Count me in this matter. I will participate."
"I'm participating too."
"I'm also participating, now let's start making a contract!"
Following a burst of whispers among the shadow mistress clones, when the three most powerful shadow mistress clones nodded and agreed to join No. 1's plan, the other shadow mistress clones nodded and joined.
Because they know the consequences of turning away.
Once these most powerful ones merge into one, they will gain strength that far exceeds that of ordinary Shadow Matrons. When the time comes, you know, they will be the first to attack them and annex them first.
On the contrary, it is better to join this integration plan and become one of them. Then you can at least participate in the customization and conclusion of the contract, and the possibility of being cheated is small.
In a whisper like a nightmare, these shadow mistress clones quickly reached an agreement.
Even if it's not fast, more and more areas inside Abigail's plane are lit up, and the plane barriers are becoming more and more stable.
Once they light up the entire plane again and awaken the ancient guardian gods of this plane, they will really have nothing to do. They can escape as far as they can. If they are not careful, they may even become
The fuel for life on this plane.
As the agreement was reached, each of the Shadow Matron clones shared a portion of their shadow energy, which converged at one point and turned into shadow runes unique to the shadow plane, writing the contract they had just discussed.
The contract proposed by the clone of Shadow Mistress No. 1 is only the most basic condition.
When they were actually signed, they were constantly revised and improved on this basis. Each shadow mistress clone would add dozens of them and put many restrictions on them, lest they be cheated.
Cunning is their instinct, distrust is their nature.
A group of cunning and insidious creatures, cooperating with each other, are naturally cautious and cautious.
By the time the contract was basically completed, it had turned into a black ball with a diameter of several meters. Even in the shadow plane, it exuded a strange and powerful evil aura, swallowing up the energy of those shadow mistress clones like a whirlpool.
"What's going on? What's going on? How did the contract come to life? Why did it swallow our energy?"
"Don't panic, this should mean that the contract has been activated. We have just written everything into the contract. After the contract is activated, it will automatically absorb our power and build our new body. We will be integrated into one after a while.
Become a stronger being."
"No, the situation is not right. This contract seems to have come to life. It is not only swallowing my power, but also swallowing my consciousness. This is a trap. This is a trap created by you bastards. Damn it, I give up, I won't join.
You guys have this damn contract."
"You signed the contract yourself. It's no longer up to you. Get ready for a new life!"
The weakest clone of Shadow Mother No. 6 found that this contract seemed unfriendly to him, and struggled to withdraw.
But in the situation he was in, it was obvious that he had no chance of turning back.
The other shadow mistress clones didn't need to stop them at all. The contracted black ball tied it tightly, giving him no chance to break free.
As the contracted black ball absorbs more shadow energy, the faster it absorbs energy from other shadow mistress clones, the greater the suction force.
Soon, the clone of Shadow Mistress No. 6 felt that her consciousness was blurred, and she soon fell into complete darkness.
This situation not only happened to the shadow mistress clone No. 6, but also to other shadow mistress clones.
Just because they have different amounts of energy, the support time is also different.
At this time, the insidious plan of the clone of Shadow Mistress No. 1 was undoubtedly exposed. This black ball of contract can be continuously improved.
When all the clones of the Shadow Mistress are awake and have power, it is of course inconvenient for him to tamper with the contract, but as they fall into darkness one after another, wouldn't it be possible for him to create many conditions that are beneficial to him?
Or negate some of the terms of the previous contract and enter the black ball of the contract.
Not only is Shadow Mistress No. 1's clone doing this, but other Shadow Mistress clones who are still awake are also doing this, and they must prevent terms that are not favorable to them from arising, and try their best to persist until the last moment.
There is no doubt that this is a competition of shadow energy. Whoever can persist until the last second will get the fattest piece of cake.
Chirp! Chirp! Roar!
These clones of the Shadow Mistress each let out their own unique low roars.
Soon, there were groups of dark clouds floating over in the distance. Only when they came closer did they realize that they were armies of nightmares.
None of these shadow mistress clones went to the meeting alone, they all came with their own nightmare army.
At this moment, these clones of the Shadow Mistress gathered their own armies, certainly not for a fight.
Instead, use them as your backup nutrients.
As soon as the nightmare army approached, the clones of the Shadow Mistress waved their shadow tentacles, eating them alive, absorbing their shadow energy, replenishing their own consumption, and allowing themselves to persist longer.
Doing this is a waste of resources even for the Shadow Mistress, and the efficiency of energy utilization is very low.
But in order to win this war and gain the greatest say, they no longer care.
This can be regarded as an unusual kind of war.
And it’s also very concise and clear.
What the two sides are competing for is energy intensity and the number of nightmare armies they possess.
Except for the weakest No. 6, who didn't even have time to summon the nightmare army and fell into darkness, each of the remaining five shadow mistress clones was not a good person.
Several of them found that their chances of winning were not good, and they immediately started to engage in vertical and horizontal tactics.
Shadow Mistress No. 3's clone said loudly to Shadow Mistress No. 2's clone: "Let's join forces. This proposal was made by No. 1. He must have calculated the current situation and must have made a lot of preparations in advance. If we
If we fight independently, the one who laughs last must be No. 1. As long as you and I join forces, we will definitely be able to defeat it."
"How to join forces?" Shadow Mistress No. 2's clone couldn't help but move, obviously he also realized this.
"The rest of my army will be handed over to you. I will give up first, but you have to ensure that my consciousness will not be eliminated." Shadow Mistress No. 3's avatar actively proposed.
As the clone of Shadow Mistress No. 1 who has the greatest chance of winning, of course he will not sit back and watch this alliance come into being. He sneered at the side and said: "No. 2, do you believe the nonsense of No. 3? When did this happen among us?
He is a selfless guy, maybe there is some conspiracy behind this! If this idiot No. 3 really does this, I suggest that the first one kill him, and the latter will let him fall into a deep sleep forever. In this case, even if he
Even if there is any follow-up conspiracy, it will not be implemented. It is not certain that you can still become the most powerful one, or even take the new body as your own."
The clone of Shadow Mistress No. 1 seems to be targeting No. 2, but in fact, it is really targeting No. 3, still taking advantage of the mutual distrust between them.
Beautiful words like beauty and trust are basically insulated from them.
The actions of the clone of Shadow Mistress No. 3 are obviously against their nature.
If they really do such a noble thing, other shadow mistress clones will instinctively doubt whether there is a trap in it.
Shadow Mistress No. 3's clone ignored No. 1's interference and continued: "The current situation is obvious. No. 2, you need a loyal ally. No matter now or in the future, if there is no ally, we will be suppressed by No. 1.
, are you willing to do it? If you break your trust with me, no one else will cooperate with you in the future, so let us try it from this time!"
"Okay! I will believe you just once, but for the sake of insurance, we should first conclude an alliance contract between us." Shadow Mistress Clone No. 2 chose to give it a try.
After all, the situation where No. 1 is strong is here.
And No. 3 is weaker than me, so even if there are some small thoughts involved in active cooperation, I can still control it.
Seeing that No. 2 and No. 3 sincerely wanted to join forces, the clone of Shadow Mistress No. 1 suddenly became anxious.
Either one of the first two is weaker than him, but if the two join forces, they will overwhelm him, which is not in line with his original expectations.
Since you are playing vertical and horizontal, I can only play vertical and horizontal.
The shadow mistress clone No. 2 began to lobby the other two shadow mistress clones: "No. 4, No. 5, you have seen the current situation. Even if the two of you join forces, there is no hope. Why not cooperate with me? I will
I will provide you with shelter, and as long as you support me, I will definitely ensure your consciousness."
"Don't believe him. He proposed the contract model, and he was so well prepared. He must have planned everything in advance. If you cooperate with him, there is a high chance that he will eat you to pieces."
Shadow Mistress No. 3's avatar obviously didn't want their cooperation to fall short, and spared no effort to persuade the other two, "Instead of trusting him, it's better to trust us and follow us to survive."
"Don't listen to No. 3's nonsense. Now No. 2 already has No. 3. If you go there, you will be redundant. You will probably be used as cannon fodder by them. You don't even know how to get tricked. Don't be deceived by his bright face.
Now, what is its essence? I don’t think I need to say more. Its essence will not change. I urgently need you here. You should follow me. That’s absolutely right. I don’t want to become a loner."
He spared no effort to advocate.
"I don't believe any of you." No. 4 said with a smile, "No. 5, no matter which one of them you are with, you are trying to gain skin from a tiger, and there is no good fruit to be gained. Even if the two of us join forces, our chances of winning are slim.
It’s not particularly big, so it’s better if we completely muddy the water so that we can have a chance of preserving it.”
"Muddy water? How to do it?" No. 5 asked quickly while hesitating.
"Speed up the activation of the contract, let it speed up the absorption speed, so that they can't survive until the end, and use the fastest speed to promote its formation. Naturally, they don't have so much time to do anything in it, just like this." Shadow No. 4
The mistress clone directly started a practical demonstration.
No. 4 immediately gave up resistance, and his huge body flew towards the contracted black ball, which was already extremely huge and had just begun to show its outline.
With No. 4's constant instigation, the suction power of the contracted black ball increased several times.
"No. 5, don't listen to No. 4 and do stupid things. It's still too late to join forces with me... Damn it..." No. 1 cursed involuntarily.
Just as he continued to lobby without giving up, No. 5 actually followed the footsteps of No. 4 and plunged his head into the black ball of the contract, making the already terrifying speed of sucking even more terrifying.
What really irritates No. 1 is that he is now alone and cannot compare to the joint efforts of No. 2 and No. 3.
