"Nether Child" - a name that sounds very bluffing, but it is far less troublesome to explain. For some specific groups of people in the universe, although the special group of Nether Children is as rare as diamonds, they are not very strange, more or less, they have all encountered these weapons, either as comrades-in-arms or as mortal enemies. Unless the circumstances are too special, those who are comrades basically survive in the end, and those who are mortal enemies are almost all dead.

Ed had a similar experience, and it was the "too special" situation. Once, when his mercenary team was on a mission in a star space station, he once encountered a Nether Child, their team had a total of fifteen people, and there was only one person in the place, because the goal was the same, the two sides clashed, fought each other, and finally ended with the other party winning and his side being slaughtered until only two people remained. If it weren't for the fact that he and the other one left escaped quickly, it would not be surprising that they would have all been wiped out there. The scariest thing is that it didn't stress at all for the child of the nether. At that time, after the end of the battle, she was not even injured.

Originally, because of the old age, and the attitude of similar tragic things, and the rabbit has never opened his "Nether" form, Ed has never thought about the children of the Nether. But now, after Karl's reminder, he suddenly reacted, suddenly thought of - in fact, he thought of much more than that.

The "Children of the Nether" is a weapon, one of the countless bizarre weapons that have been developed and derived from the war, one of the countless anti-humane weapon experiments that have been strictly prohibited by the major interstellar powers, one of the most inhumane "biological experimental weapons" among all anti-humane weapon experiments, and one of the most famous and successful types of biological weapons products. However, the end result of this experiment was very funny, and it failed again not long after the big success, and the only reason was that it was so expensive - not only high, but also time-consuming!

The production method of Nether Children is difficult and difficult, simple and simple, that is, a large number of children under the age of ten are collected in the interstellar world. Tong, concentrated with the use of physical brainwashing, mechanical assistance, and some special drugs to cultivate, as the body grows beyond the limits of human body functions again and again, gradually has stronger strength, faster speed, sharper senses, more tenacious body, monster-like recovery ability, and most importantly - less humanity than ordinary people. In accordance with the strict adherence to this system, the successful finished product is cultivated at the end, and the performance displayed can only be described as terrible. And most importantly, once they have the code of each of their own unique pairs, their owners will never worry that they will betray.

But it would take at least five years to raise such a fully constituted Netherworld, and there were at least nine hundred and ninety-seven out of a thousand children who could not survive the middle and who died of physical or mental breakdowns during the course of their cultivation. And I don't know why, all the complete products that have been cultivated are all girls themselves, and the mortality rate of boys is 100 percent.

Only girls can be used as the main material, and there is only a 3 per 1,000 survival rate - this is the result of the most perfect situation after the technology is relatively mature, and only one or two out of a thousand children will survive to the end.

It's not going to work, it's not going to work at all, it's just a joke. Although the personal ability shown by the finished Nether Children is very impressive, it can be said that it is one of the extreme combat power of humanoid creatures, but such a terrifying production cost makes them have no way to invest in a large number of wars, in other words, their role in war is far less than imagined, and if they are only used as elites, it is too much to compare before and after, and it is not enough to return to the cost.

A thousand girls under the age of ten were only able to produce three fully formed Nether Sons in the end. That is to say, behind the three children of the nether are 997 girls' lives, behind the 30 are 9,970, and behind the 300 are 99,700 - the three hundred children of the netherworld, how much can they contribute and play? Of course it's very, very big, no doubt. But what is the contribution and role of the 99,700 girls, the 99,700 who could have grown up, entered the stars, lit their own fires, and exerted their own warmth and heat? How many miracles can they perform? Who can guarantee that there will not be a talent among them who will let those three hundred cold humanoid weapons that are useless and can do nothing but war, and multiply them by two, which cannot affect the entire country or even the universe with a single finger?

No need to ban it. From a purely utilitarian point of view, the big players who really have real power and are completely profit-oriented lose interest in the technology and give up funding after thoroughly understanding the disadvantages of Nether Children. Although it is said that it has not completely disappeared - it is unlikely to disappear completely - but in the star fields ruled by the nine interstellar powers, the facilities used to cultivate the Nether Children have basically been closed, and only in some places in the outer region of the Aort Starry Sky Ten Thousand Cities can you still find merchants selling the Nether Children.

Because in that place...... Neither supply nor demand will ever end.

The rabbit is a child of the underworld, which is both unexpected and not surprising. As Carl said, Ed didn't expect to see such a rare creature, or weapon, in Titan, in the floating city of Stuttgar, in such a small place as Barblair Beach. But this also explains the source of the unreasonable, monster-like power in this girl's body.

For the children of the Nether, there is nothing reasonable or unreasonable, because they themselves are beyond common sense. Also, think about it...... Ed thought he might have seen another rabbit of his kind earlier.

Although the memories of getting along with the Nether Child who met on the space station were not very good, the situation now seems to be slightly different, or rather very different. This time, although the reason is still unknown, the child of the Netherworld in front of him is obviously on his side. And if a child of the Nether was determined to protect him, no one would be able to take him away, not even a natural human monster like Carl. What's more, now the rabbit has even used its Nether Form.

If human life is like a fire, which can burn for tens or hundreds of years at a normal speed, then the Netherworld form of the Children of the Netherworld is to forcibly increase this flame of their own, burning wildly in a short period of time, so as to obtain power far beyond the limit of their own life. Ordinary people can't do this kind of thing, it's not something they can do if they want to, but Nether Children have their own unique methods that have been trained to do it, and there are supporting insurance measures that can take a period of time to recover the life lost by the body and avoid the danger of shortening the lifespan, as long as you don't draw too much power and burn yourself out on the spot.

In history, there have indeed been children of the Nether who burned themselves out on the spot because they tried to fight against the "Liuhe"-level weapons, and after absorbing too much of their own life force, they dried up and were crushed into powder and ashes by Liuhe's power. At that time, this child of the Netherworld simply became a national laughing stock, but her brilliant blood-colored brilliance that condensed all her life into a moment and even failed to completely suppress it also brought a deep shock to the hearts of countless people.

Even for a short moment, she did the impossible.

Now the rabbit has also used his nether form, and his life is burning. The Nether Children actually don't like to use their most powerful and iconic move, because the cost performance is too low, and after just a few minutes of use, it will take a few days to recover the lost life, and the longer the continuous use, the greater the power used, the longer the recovery time will be required, and if it cannot be recovered in time, it is likely to cause permanent damage, resulting in a shortened lifespan. This is something that cannot be tolerated by the perfect weapons with a very strong sense of functional maintenance—based on the settings that their cultivators have rooted in their minds.

A qualified weapon, unless it is ordered by the owner, to damage itself before it can be used to its maximum value is an extremely serious dereliction of duty and requires strict control.

But now the rabbit doesn't care so much. She is now carrying out her master's orders and carrying out her master's task, and if Ed dies, then the mission will also fail, which is an even more serious dereliction of duty, so the choice now is very necessary.

At this time, Karl's expression was solemn and a little excitement that could not be concealed, and his two eyes looked at the rabbit in front of him with interest. Although he had heard of the existence of such a thing as the Nether Child for a long time, it was the first time he had seen the legendary Nether Form face to face.

If there is one word to describe it, it is not horror, but weirdness. At this time, the rabbit can only be described as weird.

She was dressed too conservatively, with long pants and a hooded jacket, and a mask and hood, with only a pair of hands exposed. At this time, on the back of her originally delicate and white little hands, she had climbed up a few slender roads like magic patterns at some point, and the roots were blood-red.
