Chapter 64: The Law of Natural Disasters
Just when the people of the Blue Sword realized that the situation was not right, more news about the mutation also flew like pieces of paper to the Lateran Palace of the Holy See.
"The latest experimental evidence shows that there is some kind of 'quantum entanglement' that transcends space between all spiritual polluters." At the meeting of the cardinals, a bishop reported to the group.
"For example, if there are 10,000 Spiritual Polluters in the city and one Polluter in the suburbs, this polluter happens to pollute and transform a flame sequence transcendent."
"After the transformation is completed, the flame sequence enters the collective quantum entanglement space, so the 10,000 spirit polluters in the urban area will have the ability of the flame sequence at the same time, as well as the corresponding spiritual superposition."
"That is to say, the birth of each spiritual polluter will contribute the spirituality of his ontological nature to the whole, and the spirituality of the whole will be represented in each individual."
"It can be inferred from this that if a demigod-level transcendent is transformed. Then all the spiritual polluters will immediately have the power of the demigod level. β
The synod of cardinals immediately erupted in a gasp of horror.
"Can I understand ......," Innocent said in a deep voice, "Actually, what we are really dealing with is only a monster called the 'Spirit Tree'. This monster will devour a spiritual human being, turning it into a projection of itself, and we're just clearing its doppelganger right now? β
"That's pretty much it." "It hides the ontology in the entangled space that all polluters have built together, and we have observed the entangled fluctuations from the experiments of individual polluters. β
"There are two solutions at present: one is to eliminate all the polluters, that is, to completely isolate the entangled space where the Spiritual Tree is located from our main plane, which is equivalent to banishing this body from this world;"
"Another method, as the information says: when the polluter has been eliminated to a certain extent and the ontology feels the crisis, the ontology will try to gather all the doppelgangers and use them to carry out its own presence."
"In other words, in either case, it is necessary to control and suppress the scale of the pollution as soon as possible." Bishop Valyan concluded, "The more transcendents the Spiritual Tree infects, the stronger its own rank and strength will be, and the more difficult it will be to deal with the spiritual polluters it releases. β
The cardinals bowed their heads.
Those extreme human purebloods are so cunning that they don't even write about this trait in the data. It seems that His Majesty's decision to "suppress at all costs" issued by His Majesty before that was indeed extremely correct and wise.
After the dissolution of the Synod of Cardinals, Bishop Valyan approached Innocent again and handed over the latest report on spiritual contamination.
"At the moment, it seems that the spread of pollution is inevitable. The six districts around Solomon City have been locked off from all residents, but the problem is that the polluters in the city are not under our control. β
"Once these polluters are out of the city, it's very difficult to contain them. However, not only were the existing polluters drastically holding back the Templars, but there was also a steady stream of potential polluters being converted into the city. β
"The situation in the inner city is manageable for the time being. In the outer city, our detachment was besieged by a large number of gang membersβwho seemed to misunderstand that we were spreading pollution in the past, not curbing itβand the fact that these spiritual polluters were only targeting the transcendent should have spread to the outer city. β
"Considering the issue of information channels, Bishop Langdon has not yet spoken under the interrogation, but there must be a team of accomplices behind him. Your Majesty, do you think you want to conduct a heresy purge review? β
"Not first." Innocent waved his hand, "Not only the Templars, but also the cardinals are currently under a lot of pressure, so don't conduct an internal investigation for the time being, so as not to disrupt normal affairs." β
"Mobilize the Templars from the outside world back to the city and suppress the Psionic Polluters at all costs; If necessary, allow for a complete traffic blockade of potentially polluted neighborhoods. Gangsters in the outer city, let the Papal Guard suppress it. β
"By the way, how is your sister's mercenary team?"
Hearing the Holy See's words, Bishop Valyan had a strange look on his face, and then took out another prepared report:
"Well, combat training?" Innocent flipped through the report and smiled, "They're not worried about this mutation at all?" β
"Do you want me to inform them and focus on getting rid of the polluters?" Bishop Valyan said awkwardly.
"No, you don't." Innocent said lightly, "Didn't they ask the nearby Templars to help lure the Psitrons over to practice?" β
"Let all the Templars in the four nearby districts lead the polluters in their respective jurisdictions."
"It's ......," Bishop Valyan hesitated.
Lure all the polluters there? Considering the nature of the polluters giving priority to the transcendent, the battlefield pressure on the Azure Sword Mercenary Group will increase rapidly!
However, the Holy See is also thinking about what kind of combat training you are doing there while we are working hard to maintain order in the city? It's excessive, it's really excessive, and it must be urged and spurred.
Bishop Valyan then ordered the nearby Templars to get into action.
ββββββββ
"So these polluters are essentially doppelgangers of the Spirit Tree?" Aske said strangely, "Like a bee in a hive?" β
"That's right." Vesta said with a smile, "So, if we don't get rid of them soon, as the number of infected people increases, these polluters will become more and more difficult to deal with - not only their abilities, but also their combat quality and intelligence level." β
"I see." Asker said.
Leaving the Licinius Mansion, Aske saw Mia and Miel still tossing the Polluter, one harassing with their shadow abilities and diligent attacks, and the other practicing ricochet, beating the poor Psionic Polluter into a daze.
Sidlifa's side is much more efficient at killing. Because the Frost Attack was damaging to spirits, she was able to kill a Polluter for every 3-4 axes she thrown, and the Templars were constantly moving back and forth to attract more distant Polluters for her to practice.
"Killed so much, is there any summary?" Aske came to her side and asked, "What's the difference between Frost and Thunder?" β
"Frost lasts for a long time and can slow down enemies, but it is easy to be restrained by fire." Sidlifa caught the returning Axe of the North Wind and replied, "Thunder is instantaneous and will interrupt the enemy's movements. β
"So, you can use Frost to delay enemy movements, and when it tries to break the frost effect with fire, use Thunder to interrupt it."
"That's pretty much it." Aske nodded and said, "Frost slowness, thunder interruption, is the classic combat strategy of the Titan bloodline. If you later master the Law of Extermination, you can try to destroy the limbs of your enemies at the same time. β
"Hit the leg, which can reduce the enemy's ability to act; Hit the arm to cut the enemy's offensive and defensive capabilities. Considering that the enemies of the future will only become more and more difficult to kill, how to output the enemy with control is the direction you will need to delve into next. β
After asking Sidlifa to continue training, Aske called Sheila.
"Have you thought about the rules you said last time?" Asker asked.
As a storm mage, Sheila has mastered the three sequences of "storm", "meteorite" and "light", and the powerful laws derived from it include "natural disaster", "famine", "bondage" and so on.
Of course, this is the law of "famine", which is the most powerful of the four super-supreme positions of the apocalypse, and the concept of "flood" derived from "storm".
However, Sheila is an assertive girl after all. The Law of Don't Starve itself is biased towards weakening enemies, which she doesn't really like - as an arcane mage, she prefers to choose the Law of God, which is an output of a wide area of AOE.
"I want to choose the law of 'natural disaster'." Sheila replied.
"Okay." Asker nodded.
"Didn't you persuade me to choose 'Famine'?" Sheila asked tentatively.
"I'm not an obsessive-compulsive collector, so I don't have to put together the four super-superior laws." Asker replied, "What's more, the law is not only about strength, but also about whether it suits you and whether it meets the needs of the team." β
"In terms of output alone, the power of the law of natural disasters is not inferior to that of famine. What's more, the title of future will also be better: when you become a demigod of the law of natural disasters, you can be called the 'Storm Empress', otherwise if you choose famine, will you be called the 'Hungry Empress'? β
Sheila:..................
Although this joke is a bit nonsensical, it speaks to her heart. She did personally prefer the concept of the law of natural disasters to famine.
