Chapter 622: A Future Shrouded in Black Mist

Rachel lowered her head and thought about it, and said to Todd: "This speculation may indeed come true, but there is one thing I don't understand. ”

"What?"

"If Eleanor or Sutherland, either of them has the power to imprison souls. According to common sense, that person can break the balance of power in the Presbyterian Church and then control the surrounding forces......"

"However, according to the intelligence of the Xenomorph Society, the South has remained calm to this day, and there are no unusual anomalies. ”

"Maybe it's because it's not stable, or maybe it's because it's something that needs to be trained. In short, no matter what the reason, once this person has mastered this ability, there will be no more peace in the whole world. ”

Rachel looked at Todd and asked, "You want to use troops against the South now?"

"No, the Battle of Taylor has just ended, whether it is logistics or the source of troops, it will take a while to slowly recover, and it is the most stupid idea to rashly use troops in the south at this time. ”

Rachel smiled and said, "Then there is only one way left." ”

Todd nodded lightly: "I plan to negotiate with the Southern Empire, negotiate peace for the time being, and join forces to nip the power of the Council of Elders in the bud first." ”

"Today, although the ruler of the Southern Empire is nominally Caliph Saladin, due to his ill health, many sects and sects are accumulating military power, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the entire empire as a mess......

Seeing a large number of black parasites flowing from little Jerry's body, Rachel stopped talking about the Southern Empire and asked, "Is that the culprit who caused the black plague?"

Todd nodded, "A brand new parasite, the scholars at the University of Twilight have detected the Tyrant virus in their bodies. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Tyrant viruses have given this black parasite a peculiar property that allows them to record the host's DNA sequence and extract high-quality fragments from it for recombination and construction. ”

Rachel frowned and said, "Can you explain it briefly?"

"Regarding the Tyrant Virus, you can look at the Holy Cult Army, who were originally human. Use inflammation and other methods to temporarily reduce the effect of immune function, and then let xenobacteria, Sutherland archaea and tyrant viruses work together to extract the hidden genes in their bodies, which may be orcs or elves, and continue to replicate this gene, eventually replacing the original sequence, and finally causing species changes. ”

"That's right," said Rachel, "that's exactly what the Holy Army's transformation ritual is. ”

"Well, if the host inoculated with the tyrant virus is itself a corpse, the situation is completely different. ”

"The host is a corpse?"

A black parasite swam around the cage and was forced back by the hot coals at the edge.

Todd pointed to the black parasite and said: "In the nature of another world, there is a parasite called echinocephalus, which parasitizes animals (such as zombie deer), destroys the nerve centers of the other party, and replaces these nerves with information stress cavities, and finally makes the host a zombie-like existence. ”

Richel's eyes widened, "Is there such a thing in the world?"

"Not only echinocephalus, but also the hemi-snake, the fungus, the mud wasp toxin bacteria, and the β triester rabies virus, can turn organisms into zombie-like beings. ”

Todd paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze back to the black parasite, "However, once this parasite encounters the Tyrant virus, it will form an extremely powerful and terrifying creature. ”

"First, the parasite destroys the nerve centers of living beings and replaces the nerves with information-stress cavities. ”

The parasite then releases the Tyrant virus, which begins to extract the genetic sequence from the host, extracting the good parts from it to replicate and replace. ”

Eventually, a new, enhanced zombie-like appeared. ”

Todd looked at Rachel and said, "However, the most terrifying thing is not these, but the other two serious consequences. ”

"The scariest place?"

"First, these black parasites will drain from the inside of the host to the outside, and when they come into contact with the outside world, they will actively seek out other parasites of the same kind for information exchange and gene sharing. ”

Rachel shuddered.

To put it bluntly, a black parasite will pass on the good genetic fragments of its host to other parasites, and will also accept genetic fragments from other parasites. ”

"The consequence is that, after countless transmissions and sharing, the black parasite forms a genetic fragment that has been modified tens or even billions of times. When this fragment is injected into a host, you can imagine what kind of monster the host will be transformed into. ”

Rachel closed her eyes and said, "This modified host will eventually become an invincible ...... Stuff. ”

Todd said in a deep voice: "So, when I retreated from Taylor City, I specially asked the army to cooperate with the scholars to recover the bodies of all the Holy Cult soldiers who died on the battlefield. ”

"Even if the bodies were buried deep in the ground, or even burned to ashes, I ordered that they be recovered as much as possible, leaving no trace. ”

Todd said helplessly: "Even so, I can't imagine how many genetic fragments these black parasites have recovered. ”

Rachel shook her head vigorously, as if trying to put the horrific image behind her.

"You just said that this black parasite has two serious consequences, what is the second?"

Todd said, "It's the soul. ”

Todd explains, "From what I've learned, the soul is actually a dark matter that contains dark energy, is capable of reshaping matter, and is capable of altering the energy balance of nature. ”

"The most intuitive example is me, through the continuous strengthening of the soul space, I have now gradually been able to grasp the operation and convergence of dark energy. Todd looked at Rachel and said, "In time, I could even use this power to create objects, tear through space, and even ...... Coding Life. ”

"Now, however, this black parasite, if it is able to transmit a large number of souls to their masters in a short period of time. And this person has mastered the method of using the power of the soul, so what will happen next, I believe you can guess without me saying more. ”

After listening to Todd's words, Rachel lowered her head and began to think for a long time.

At this moment, a knight walked up behind Todd and whispered, "Your Majesty, something has happened to the Grand Theater. ”

Todd was stunned.

Then he closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, Todd opened his eyes and said slowly, "Got it." ”
