  Chapter 900 Inheritance of Light

   After the protective magic circle that saved Xiahui City performed exceptionally and the giant of light appeared, Adbert fell into a coma.

   It's not a big deal, it's just that the mental strength is overdrawn, and some souls are shaken.

After knowing that Adalbert had woken up, Ian went over immediately and did a full set of checks on his left and right arms to make sure that the dazed researcher did not have "another life in his body". The outer universe or the super-civilized consciousness of the virtual world' or the situation of 'carrying a magic light stick'.

  He's all right, much to Ian's regret.

   "If the giants of light really exist, how can there be so many things in the universe of Terra."

  Ian sighed here and there, but Adbert was full of energy: "Ian, I feel very good! I seem to have awakened my spiritual power!"

   This is the most important point - what psionic power has he awakened?

   "Gathering tiny hearts and turning them into majestic divine power."

  Ian mobilized the computing power of Terra's heart, let himself observe Adalbert's psionic model, and extracted his key words bit by bit. The prophet looked a little dignified: "Your psionic power...is very strong."

   "However, it is too difficult to use!"

  Adbert's psionic ability was impossible to use on Terra in the past.

  Because, the necessary condition for this psionic ability is that all participants have souls.

   Yes, this is a multiplayer psionic power.

When there was only Yadbert alone, his spiritual power manifested in the form of 'the stronger he is, the stronger his defense power'. Power, but there is no other power except defense power, and it can only protect itself.

However, if there are other souls who recognize Adalbert's beliefs and resonate with him, then Adalbert's defense will be further improved, and with the increase in the number of participants, it will even begin to increase the control of source quality Psionic power.

  When the number of energy and resonance exceeds a certain number, all psionic energy can even burst out briefly, transforming into a huge virtual entity (giant of light), and deal a terrible blow to the enemy.

   "Isn't this just charging and transforming?"

  Ian commented: "It's also thanks to me giving you the energy system authority of Xiahui Ling, otherwise, with such a little resonance from Xiahui Ling, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to gather your psionic activation standards at all."

  Adbert's psionic energy requires huge energy, huge computing power, and huge soul support burden to fully exert it. Simply put, it cannot be used by one person at all.

  From the very beginning, Adalbert’s beliefs were not limited to himself—he had no desires or obsessions. Many times, he just couldn’t see how many people would suffer 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 'technology', but no 'method' and 'way'.

  Ian told him about the future and gave him a land to protect—Ian shared his path with him.

  In the Yinfeng leadership, he finally understood many things, such as how the future world should be considered beautiful, what order he should protect, and what direction his ingenuity should work towards.

  So, from the beginning, he was not for himself, but for everyone.

  Since this is the case, everyone's power will also become his power.

   This is the spiritual power that Ian cannot awaken.

  He can make other people yearn for him, follow him, and trust himself, but Ian can't 'trust' others.

  For him, other human beings are too fragile, even weak.

   Echoes, who have transcended death and time and space, can only believe in themselves from the bottom of their hearts, and believe in all 'selfs'.

   "Yes, this psychic potential is great."

Sitting sideways on the edge of the bed, Ian patted Adbert's shoulder on the hospital bed, but he felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, this psionic ability is too demanding and difficult to replicate—where can I find a second one like you?" Awaken this psychic power."

   "Always... there will always be, right? I think there should be some people like me in this world."

  Adbert himself was a bit afraid to confirm, he hesitated and said: "At present, there are not so many places to protect?"

   "There will be more in the future. Not to mention that I will conquer all of Terra in the future, even now that I have integrated the entire South Ridge, there must 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 you are needed to protect the entire South Ridge."

  No matter how you say it, Adalbert has no problem. He is very happy: "Take good care of your body. This is your own awakening and the power you have mastered. It is not the dead king, it belongs purely to you."

   "I think, now you can also try to integrate your own meditation ideas and spiritual powers, and try to master your unique arcane path."

  Ian's arcane path is based on goblins and immovable fortified cities. This "inheritance of steel" is something that only he can handle.

And Yadbert's psionic power, his understanding of the souls and the dead king, his grasp of his own psionic power, and the calculation power and source quality core common to the arcane path...maybe all of them can make him walk out of a different path. Ian's 'Steel Legacy' system.

  A inheritance called 'Light'.

   Speaking of light... Ian suddenly thought of someone.

   "Loren."

  Ian said thoughtfully: "Although Loren's holy light is different from yours, when you think about it carefully, they all have altruistic attributes."

   "Moreover, the power of the Holy Light can naturally attract people's yearning and reverence..."

"Well, Yadbert, you have time to chat with that kid Loren in the future... I have a hunch that your 'Giant of Light' psychic power and his 'Holy Light' might be very interesting." linkage."

   "My psychic ability is called 'People's Heart'." Adbert reminded: "It's not the giant of light."

   "Understood, Giant of Light."

   There is always something very complicated about psionics and other legacy developments, but in general, everything is thriving and moving in the right direction.

  Both Adbert and Loren can find a way forward, and Ian doesn't need to worry about them, which makes Ian quite gratified.

   After confirming that there was no problem with Adalbert, Ian immediately took him to work overtime with him.

   It’s not that Ian is squeezing Adbert, it’s mainly because the researcher asked very intimately, ‘Is there anything I can do for you? ’, then Ian’s answer is of course ‘Yes! 'ah.

  So, Yadbert, who had just woken up for less than half an hour, accompanied Ian to the virtual world to see the devil.

  To be precise, it was Ian who captured the fusion demon 'Huo Xin' during the Xiahui airship attack.

  Huo Xin has been imprisoned by Ian, and now she is sleeping in a square spiritual energy 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 shape of a regular aggregation of the virtual machine **** and Ian and others. It looks a bit like entangled seaweed, but if you look closely , but can see a large number of tiny barbs in those purple-red spiritual energy light bands.

  These barbs are not lethal, but they allow this soul to easily hang on other soul bodies and exert their own influence.

"This is the soul of the devil. This psychic energy fused with the devil is an extremely rare 'charm ability', but the original essential desire is actually a 'craving for attention'. He hopes that his parents can pay attention to himself and not ignore himself, so he got it This kind of psionic ability that can gain people's favor and attention."

Ian pointed to the seductive soul and explained: "But after becoming a demon, this kind of psionic power has been distorted and strengthened-the original favor and attention have become mandatory obedience. No matter what the order is, even if it makes people die for confusion, they will be willing."

   "A very terrifying brainwashing ability. If it is paired with a soul stamp, God knows how terrifying it will be."

  Ian was very emotional and serious when he said this, but the listener always felt that something was wrong.

  —Are you sure it wasn't you?

  Adelbert couldn't help but look sideways at the serious Ian, but when he thought about it carefully, it was different.

  Ian can achieve similar effects without using psionic power at all, which is obviously more terrifying than confusing the mind!

  Now, in the hands of Leader Yinfeng, there are two fusion demon captives, 'Fusion Shadow' and 'Huo Xin'.

  Ian has never seen what a real demon looks like, so it is necessary for Adalbert to come and distinguish it.

   "Look, how are they different from real demons?"

  Ian asked seriously: "Also, is this fusion technology... similar to Dead River Armed Forces?"

   "Somewhat like."

   When it came to technical issues, Adalbert became serious. He moved closer to the past, carefully observed Huo Xin's soul form, and then came to a conclusion: "It's almost the same as when Viscount Avak was almost assimilated by the Dead River Armed Forces."

"The initial form of the human soul in the virtual world is the 'ball'. This is the original and intact form. No matter who it is, even the chosen psyker, before self-awareness of his own soul, he is a Ball."

   "On this basis, the more orderly the soul is, the more people who abide by the rules and live in society will form a more regular geometry."

   "The geometry is also different, like the hexagonal soul, which represents that the holder of the soul likes to integrate into the collective, because they can build a stable structure with countless similar souls."

   "And my eight-sided prism is relatively lonely, because it is difficult to fit with other prisms."

   "As for Ian, your Metatron cube... proves that although you follow your own inner order extremely, you hardly recognize anyone."

   "As for the demons..."

Adalbert raised the confused soul, observed it carefully, and then shook his head: "The demons are absolutely chaotic, it is impossible to understand other people, and it is impossible to join forces. The order of demons is only the simplest 'size'" Strength'. So their souls are such irregular, pictographic patterns."

   "But according to what you said, Ian, the fusion of demons has overcome this essence—the army of demons? The technology developed by Fei Yandi is a bit amazing."

   "It means to say."

Ian thought about it: "Devils are impossible to obey other people's orders. But Feiyan used a certain technology to allow the demons to become an army... If we can find the key, can we directly disintegrate Feiyan? Earth's army of demons?"

"It's difficult, but it's not hopeless." Adalbert has already looked at the confusing soul from the inside out. This is the power of meditation, which allows people to carve the shape of their own soul with their own strength. Carry out the most essential self-transformation.

  At the same time, those who practice meditation also have a strong control over their own soul power, and can even indirectly interfere with other souls who have no resistance.

"I see."

  Adelbert had also studied some of the technologies of the Dead River Armed Forces. After careful observation, he came to understand: "Look, Ian, the soul core of this demon."

  Ian leaned over to look, and found that the core of the Heart Demon was a blackened gem-like object.

  【Demon Ace Nemathus】

  【Second Energy Level · Chimera · Excellence · Naturally Intelligent Creatures · False Realm Fusion Creatures · Demon Fallen Body】

  【The individual has been transformed by the abyss technology, and has become a special virtual monster, and its life essence has been converted into a demon】

  【Body material... virtual world conversion completed】

  【Strength Level: Normal】

  【Contains source quality: 8800.0835 psychic units】

  【…】

   There is nothing special about it.

Ian looked at Adalbert, waiting for an explanation, while the white-haired researcher scratched his head: "The crystal of the gemstone is synonymous with natural order, and its crystallization sequence itself represents a kind of order... If we say that the fusion of demon cores is If these spiritual gemstones, then it means that their orderly thinking is lodged in these gemstones."

   "Let's put it this way, Ian. These fusion demons are basically pure demons, but these demons don't have a 'brain'."

   "The human souls lodged in these gems are their brains. With the power of these specially processed psychic gems, resist the erosion of resentment, and use human will to control the power of demons."

Speaking of this, Adalbert was quite emotional: "In fact, the Dead River Armament is the same. The Dead River Armor itself is the body of the Void Sea Gorefiend, and the wearer is the driver who turns himself into the power of the Gorefiend— It’s just that the purpose of the Dead River Armament is to convert people into blood demons, but the fusion of demon technology does not want to merge, but to ensure the purity of people’s thinking.”

   "I think this is probably the reason why the man-made demons in Flameland will not be wiped out by the 'Void Mechanics', because their essence is still human, and they just use the power of demons."

  —What kind of magic X girl. If the magic gem is dirty, it will degenerate into a real devil, right?

  Furthermore, it seems that Fei Yandi did not lie, they really created a man-made demon system with the same origin as the enemy and us? When will Demon Mask X make an appearance?

Ian has a lot of troubles in his heart, but he won't be able to say it for a while. He vaguely feels that things are not that simple: "But I tortured Huo Xin before, and he told me that the reward promised to him by Nemathus is promotion. For the 'big devil'."

   "This simple consciousness boarding technique certainly cannot meet the conditions for being promoted to a great demon. With such strong resentment, they will directly become real demons."

   And the real demon can't be controlled, it's impossible for Flameland to do that.

   "That means they must have a sublimation technology based on this core gem."

Adalbert said firmly: "The great demons all have the power of 'memory is immortal, demons are immortal'. If the memories related to them are not forgotten, they will not disappear completely, so they can only be sealed or weakened. 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 the same person to control. I was thinking, is there such a possibility? It is remote control... just like the dragon soul, which separates the soul core from the body, but guarantees A kind of information transmission in a virtual environment, under the condition of isolating the pollution of the power of demons, manipulating an immortal body to fight..."

   "Fatebox?"

  Ian has a little understanding of this concept: "Demon Lich?"

"What is a lich?" Adalbert asked curiously, and Ian explained to him: "A kind of immortal monster that preserves the essence of life in an extremely strong and almost indestructible 'box' , the external body is irrelevant, even if it is wiped out, it can be revived again."

   Speaking of this, Ian suddenly thought of the name of the super unit on the way to the Star Extinguishing Road in Flame Land.

immortal person…

   "Interesting, it's probably true. Immortal demon army? Immortal lich army?"

Adalbert really understands demons, and the possibility he mentioned may really be the final result of Feiyan's technology—from this point of view, it's no wonder that some people are tempted by demon technology, which mixes immortality, self-sublimation and The triple possible path of civilization ascension is indeed an irresistible temptation for the people of Terra.

"Demon Lich, interesting mix and match." Ian murmured a few words with a strange face, and then smiled: "Yes, there are similar legends about demons. Their bodies are located in the abyss, and what appear in the material world are just projections, projections Being destroyed, although it will also be injured, it will not really die."

   "Then, is there any way to cut off this kind of communication? Let all fusion demons and artificial demons become uncontrollable real demons, and then call the Void Mechanism to exterminate them?" Ian asked.

"have!"

  Adbert nodded without hesitation, but quickly shook his head regretfully: "But I won't!"

"I have never been exposed to this technology. It was probably researched by Feiyan Land and not handled in the Avak Laboratory, so I don't know the details. Moreover, if you want the Void Mech God to identify these artificial demons, you need Crush the core, but if you shatter the core, the demon will die, and it doesn't make any sense to summon the Mech-God."

"that's enough."

  Ian nodded slightly. As expected, Adbert was the chief researcher of the Avak Laboratory at the time. His understanding of demons was indeed far better than his own, and he found the essence of Feiyan's artificial demon technology so quickly.

   "Then what's the weakness?"

  He asked, and Adbert thought for a while, and then said: "In addition to removing the core gems, their actions require a lot of resentment to block the perception of other creatures in the void."

   "" I guess, the reason why they carry out scorched earth tactics is to create a virtual black area. Man-made demons are not real demons after all, as long as the spread of resentment is suppressed so that they cannot wantonly block the perception of the virtual machine god, their ability to act will not be so elusive. "

   "However, the Mech God of the Void Realm only acts in the Void Realm. Now the demon legions in Flameland are basically operating in the material world. This is not a shortcoming at all."

   "Even, they can avoid the artillery fire of the material world by hiding in the virtual world. It is indeed quite incomprehensible. 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 machine gods and squat next to the cursed black soil, then this group of man-made demons can only stay In the material world, can't we just shuttle around 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 levels between the first energy level and the second energy level. With the power of space, artillery fire in the general sense can't reduce their personnel at all."

   "This is not a weakness," the researcher emphasized.

   "Then as long as it is unusual artillery fire."

  Ian already had an idea in his mind. He smiled and looked up to the sky: "I can only say that preparation in advance must be effective."

   "As for now, let's wake up this little demon."

  Looking at Huo Xin, Ian calmly said: "My plan may use him in some places in the future."
