Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 610: The Function of the Illithid Tadpole

The slimy rain of tadpoles was noticed by Owen as soon as it passed through the membrane of the Northern Stars. If it were anything else, he might not be awakened so easily because he was addicted to the subspace, mainly because illithids are extremely rare people who are born with mastery of the mind. A special life with power, if in the Warhammer universe, it would be a natural psyker comparable to the Eldar, so even if it was just a tadpole, its life essence still alarmed him.

"It's really interesting." When Owen, who was immersed in the subspace, was awakened, he naturally saw the dark elf spaceship hiding in the shadows. At this time, he only needed a thought, and the subspace that had covered a large area of ​​​​void could destroy it. Swallowed, and then dissipated in the warp like a bubble, the soul will also become a plaything in his hands, allowing these dark elves to experience how Slaanesh plays with the Eldar.

But Owen didn't take action, not because he was soft-hearted, but because he was bribed by the takeaways delivered by the dark elves.

After realizing that the dark elf had prepared a whole meal, Owen, who had just tasted the delicious illithid tadpoles as an appetizer, was reluctant to interrupt the other party's feeding, so he ate the illithid tadpoles in silence and waited quietly. A takeaway from the dark elves.

Give the collected illithids to the professional counterpart Demon Owen for cultivation. Don't die. Owen's body continues to be immersed in the subspace. After a while, the subspace expands again. He must keep up as soon as possible, using Cover it with your own consciousness, otherwise you will not be able to fully control this blank area.

Although in theory, as long as his consciousness can keep up, Owen's control of subspace will not have any problems, but he is unwilling to give up the concept of human beings, and artificially sets limits for himself, resulting in the inability of consciousness to expand with the subspace. .

The reason is simple, because Owen subconsciously believes that people have limits, so he has limits. Unless he chooses not to be a human being at all, this trouble of happiness will always bother him.

In the Garden Kingdom, Demon Owen, who received a bunch of tadpoles from his true form, casually released these tadpoles in a nearby swamp.

The swamp rich in nutrients and vitality did not make the illithid tadpoles feel uncomfortable, but instead became more active.

In addition to the demon Owen, Owen's other incarnation, the ancient elf sage, is also very interested in the illithids. It is rare to stop to understand the laws and leave the World Tree to participate in them.

Soon the two Owens discovered that due to the lack of parasitism, the illithid tadpoles in the swamp, although strong and full of vitality, were never able to enter the next stage of growth. Therefore, not only intelligence could not be reflected, but also psychic abilities. It can't be played out either.

Parasitism definitely cannot be parasitized. The parasitism of the illithid is to replace the parasitized person and completely twist it into a different race. This is something Owen cannot accept, at least not now. He does not want anyone in the empire to be able to take it away at will. All races of other Imperial citizens.

I originally wanted to solve the problem by cheating, but the Imperial Research Center made a proposal that surprised both Owens. It was to transform the illithids into a psychic organ and then implant it into humans to gain the ability to use psychic powers. ability.

Humans are not elves. Although they can master psychic powers, their efficiency and abilities are far behind, even if they are enhanced and transformed.

This has nothing to do with physical strength. Compared to the vast majority of elves who can become psykers, the rate of humans becoming qualified psykers is too low.

However, the reproduction efficiency of elves is lower than that of giant pandas. They cannot withstand the damage caused by continuous wars and are far less expensive and high-quality than humans.

Therefore, the number of psykers in the Imperial Army is not very large, and Owen is unwilling to directly place a psionic mark to allow mortals to qualify for the use of psionic powers.

This crude method is fast, but it is easy to lose control. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be assimilated by spiritual energy sooner or later, from body to soul.

Owen was not an evil god, so he naturally did not want to use this method, so he agreed to the Imperial Research Center's experimental application. The illithid tadpoles sent from the Garden Kingdom were full of vitality. The staff at the research center were very satisfied when they saw it, because vitality means greater endurance.

Next, many steps are skipped, and the next step is human experimentation. As for where the experimental subjects come from, they are criminals.

There are tens of millions of people in the empire, no matter how strict the management is and no matter how religious they are, they still cannot eliminate the problem of crime.

It's just that there was no death penalty in the empire a long time ago, because the consumables needed for various research were not enough. Instead of hanging or beheading, it was better to let these criminals play some role.

Now there is a criminal who cannot control his lower body and is fixed on a metal chair. As for why he was chosen, it can only be said that there is a chain of contempt among criminals, and researchers also agree with this.

When his eyes were blindfolded and his mouth was opened, this criminal, who had committed more than a dozen cases in a row and did not know how to repent when he was arrested, was as helpless as a young girl. He could only express his protest against his fate through silent tears. .

But who cares about that? If I had realized this earlier, I would still be here.

A man in a white coat brought a cup of illithid tadpoles soaked in viscous nutrient solution. He was not very satisfied with the opening of his mouth, so he twisted it twice more, and then, amidst the pained whimpering of the other party, he held it firmly with his hand. Pour in every drop of the nutrient solution and the illithid tadpoles.

The slimy Illithid tadpole kept twisting and turning in the narrow throat. Its genes gave it rich skills, knowing how to pass through the narrow throat more efficiently, and then penetrate deep into the belly.

Although he didn't know what he was swallowing, the criminal's instinct told him that it was by no means a good thing, so he struggled desperately, but it was useless. Soon the illithid tadpole secreted a special mucus that paralyzed the nerves and thinking. , so that he could only open his mouth numbly and feel the growth of despair.

The parasitism efficiency of the illithid is very high. It only takes a few days to twist a human into an octopus-headed monster and automatically master the power of the mind.

The most frightening thing is that the illithid that reaches maturity through parasitism has a very high IQ, and it can automatically adapt to the environment and master psychic powers without being taught by anyone.

If various restrictions had not been set long ago, this illithid that almost caused a psychic riot would have escaped from the prison just like the protagonist, and then massacred in the research center, and finally left in a violent explosion.

It's a pity that the appearance is too bad to be the protagonist, and he is easily controlled, and then there are all kinds of dissections, and he looks like a squid.

However, the performance of this illithid also greatly excited the research center, which believed that it was a natural psychic creature. Once it is mastered, the empire will achieve a huge breakthrough in the field of psychic energy.

But the reality is not so smooth. The illithid is a very special creature. It is not easy to complete the transformation in a short time.
