Chapter 160: Conception
This scene is destined to go down in history.
For the first time ever, Queen Mia was hovering above the heads of the crowd. Bolts of lightning shot out of the thunderclouds, rolling around her body and disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, a thick bolt of lightning extended from her right palm like a chain, enveloping Clara's head.
The lightning-like light looked very bright, but like the shining white jade, it only maintained its brightness, and did not illuminate the surrounding space more and more brightly. No one but Mia knew exactly what this magical lightning-fast chain was, at least at the hilltop square. Because Mia is the only awakened person who can control this power.
Mia remembered the outsider named Kurban. Like himself, he will condense this white light to attack his enemies, causing them to become insane or unconscious, thus losing their ability to resist. Or even kill the other party directly. Then Kurban should also know that this white light is essentially nothing more than a highly condensed soul power. This requires extremely skillful skill and very strong strength.
To Mia, the white light that Alma condensed was extremely faint and swaying, showing his immature control. But his own strength must be very strong, otherwise it would be impossible for him to easily release this white light several times under his gaze.
But Alma was like a toddler compared to herself, and the white light the thickness of his fingers could only deal with some savage beasts or humans with weak willpower.
And herself, Mia thought, as she raised her palm and looked. As her mind turned, more soul power was mobilized by her, surging out of her body, and the blood flowed along her arteries all the way to the palm of her hand, Zheng Miya couldn't help but want to release those powers.
At this moment, Clara, who had already been attacked once, was falling to the ground and convulsing in pain, while the black-armored knights behind her were still standing motionless behind her, as if they didn't care about the safety of their superiors. But Mia knew that they must be desperate to find a way to save Clara. And Li Ling guarded Clara's side, looking like she wanted to take over her master, Clara, against herself.
Mia snorted coldly in disdain, and no longer restrained the soul power in her body that was flowing but could not be released, and let them be completely vented. Mia didn't even deliberately channel this power towards Clara, but only locked on to a general range. Subconsciously, Mia wanted to kill Clara and her men. Although their power is in the same vein as Clara's, it all comes from their own charity.
Quietly, more soul lightning poured out from Mia's palm, and branches continued to draw in mid-air, forming a brilliant net, shrouding in the direction of Clara.
Maybe it was too much lightning-like white light, but this time it looked extraordinarily bright, far beyond the sunlight obscured by the dark clouds.
Many people had no choice but to close their eyes. Only those who are in the middle of the battle and those who care about the battle as much as Bren and Ina will force their eyes to keep their eyes open.
At the same time as the large net of lightning was formed, Li Ling stood firmly in front of Clara. His tall figure completely obscured Clara from him.
But he clearly saw the power of Mia's move. As soon as the chain formed by the soul lightning touched Li Ling's body, it immediately jumped behind him, and shrouded Clara's body, followed by those black-armored knights behind Clara. It was complicated, but it was actually only a split second, and almost everyone was entangled in Mia's soul chain.
Just for this moment, Mia felt that half of her soul power had been consumed, which showed the power of this move. But fortunately, the thunderclouds above her head immediately rolled up, and between the lightning and thunder, some pure soul power poured into Mia's body, making her mind fill again.
Mia herself didn't know why she was in danger when these thunderclouds appeared to her as if sensing her call, and rescued her.
She guessed that the thunderclouds might have been sent by the Father to save her. She could even feel the breath of the Father God that she felt during her daily meditation from these tumbling thunderclouds. But the Father's appearance is definitely not so bravado. He'll be sure to help Mia take out her enemies with every move. Or maybe these thunderclouds are just a little bit of the Father's thoughts, or maybe some of his subordinates are secretly helping him. Regardless, Mia felt that she should be tough enough, at least not to disgrace the other Soul Breakers because of her, so that she could please the Father......
At the same time, Li Ling and Clara are suffering from this powerful force.
No sooner had Clara woken up from her first pain than she was once again tormented by the force, and she almost fell into a coma. Fortunately, Li Ling and the black-armored knight behind her resisted most of the attacks for her, and her own soul power was already strong, so she stubbornly survived and gritted her teeth and persevered.
Li Ling, who was standing in front of Clara, only felt as if his limbs had been invaded by some kind of force, advancing towards his mind wave after wave, as if to imprison his will. Li Ling tried his best to urge the soul power that had just been formed in his mind—the flickering flame in his mind—to resist. But when those cold consciousnesses with hostility came to his mind, the flame in Li Ling's mind did not have any effect at all, and it was immediately extinguished. Immediately after, Li Ling's will was blank, followed by his body. However, Li Ling couldn't feel his body anymore.
He doesn't know where he's gone? Obviously, there is a blank in the brain, but I can really see this blank, just like a blank paper, white and transparent.
"Li Ling! Li Ling! ”
A woman's voice came flutteringly, unable to distinguish the direction and up and down. I only know that it is a woman's eager voice.
"Who are you?" Li Ling asked subconsciously. He didn't hear his own voice, and he didn't know if he was making a sound. Li Ling suspected that he was dead. The voice he heard came from his own soul that was about to dissipate with the wind.
"I'm Clara, Li Ling!" The voice said again.
"Clara?" Li Ling said suspiciously. "But I can't see you!"
"Yes, I can't see you either, but I can feel you, Li Ling!" Clara said.
"Where are we?" Li Ling wanted to look up, but unfortunately he suddenly realized that he didn't have a head at all, and the white space around him couldn't tell what was up and what was down.
"In your consciousness, Li Ling!" Clara said again.
"How so? How is this possible? Li Ling subconsciously asked. At this time, he remembered that he had tried desperately to protect Clara just now, so he said eagerly: "How do you feel, Your Highness Clara, did His Majesty Mia's lightning attack hurt you?" ”
"You have a bit of a problem, Li Ling." Clara got a sentence. "First, I'm completely normal in your consciousness. Because I led your awakening ritual, I also planted a part of my consciousness on your consciousness. Second, Mia's attack is not lightning, but soul power, soul power condensed to the extreme. In fact, I was able to condense some dim but visible light like Her Majesty Mia had done in the past, but I didn't expect it to be her opponent. ”
"What is soul power, what is cultivation? Clara, you're confusing me. Li Ling said a little anxiously. If you have a way to fend off Mia's attacks, or find a way to escape, act fast. Don't waste your time here. ”
After Li Ling finished these words, he suddenly felt a little strange about his words, thinking why he was so anxious about Clara's safety. He even did not hesitate to oppose His Majesty Mia, the most powerful person in the world of Sirte. Have you forgotten that your companions have not yet settled in this royal city, and that they still need to rely on Her Majesty Mia's care?
"Soul power is naturally the power of your soul—or your autonomous consciousness." Clara didn't seem to know what Li Ling was thinking, and just patiently answered his question.
"And the planting ......," Clara said here, pausing slightly, as if organizing the appropriate language. To plant is to conceive, to plant a trace of your own consciousness as a seed, to nurture in your consciousness, and then gradually develop and grow......"
"What are you in?" Li Ling felt that Clara was talking nonsense. "You see, finding a way to defeat Mia is our top priority."
"But you're unconscious, Li Ling. Otherwise you wouldn't be speaking so clearly in your own consciousness. ”
"What about you? Your Highness Clara, what do you represent in my consciousness? ”
"It means I'm going to die." Clara said without pain.
"What? Don't be kidding me! Li Ling said in surprise.
"Listen to me finish half of what I just said, Li Ling."
"But......" Li Ling thought that Mia would not wait for herself and Clara to tell a story here, maybe she had fallen from the sky and was directing her guards to dismantle herself and Clara.
"Don't talk nonsense, please ask or something, I've tried to describe it as I understand it, and if you keep interrupting me, I'll forget the words I've worked so hard to put together." Clara said eagerly.
Li Ling had no choice but to close his non-existent mouth tightly.
"As I said, conception is an instinct that transmits your own consciousness on and on, on to the next awakened one, to the next awakened one. It's as if we humans pass on our image from generation to generation through conception. ”
"Well, I can understand that."
"But they are different, the conception of the awakened seems to be aimed at transmitting the consciousness of the mother, while the original conception of the human being is aimed at transmitting the life of the mother."
"It sounds a little different." Li Ling seemed to hear the smell of Zero's conspiracy theory, but it was vaguely unpredictable.
"It's like I just arrived, and what you see now. I, as a mother, now appear in your consciousness. If I hadn't died, my consciousness would have been latent in your consciousness by now growing and growing until it had been completely absorbed and digested. And your consciousness will be transformed into another me. No, to be precise, is a shadow that transforms into me. ”
"So, sooner or later, I will become a shadow of you, and my words and actions will be according to your ideas?" Li Ling's thoughts began to have a clue, but there were more problems.
"Yes, but listen, I was the one who led the awakening for me decades ago, by Her Majesty Mia. As a result, my actions and consciousness are gradually moving closer to her, and if it weren't for something wrong in the middle, maybe I'd become another Ina or Emon! Did you find a problem? ”
"Could it be...... Your consciousness is ...... If such a thing is allowed to develop, sooner or later, the human beings of the entire world will become Mia, become her shadow, and act according to her will? Li Ling asked in disbelief, thinking that Clara must be crazy. Even if this crazy idea could come true, why would Mia do it? What's the use of facing the same shadow-like soul?
"Imagine trying your best to win the support of others in order to strengthen your power, and to grow your power by cultivating countless shadows who are obedient to you. Which is more effortless, and which can go on forever? What's more, I used to be the instinct of the awakened, just like a young and vigorous man sees a young girl, and naturally wants to do something. ”
"This metaphor ......," Li Ling laughed shamefully. He understood Clara's words. But he thought the analogy was a bit bad, because she didn't think that a person with such self-control as he would not be able to make mistakes easily. In fact, in the end, it was his unwillingness to accept Clara's words.
"I know you can't accept it for a while, Li Ling. You and your companions have just come into this world, and everything here is completely unfamiliar. You can see that you come from a world of simplicity and kindness. But it's different here, you have to completely turn your past thoughts and experiences around and adapt to the world as soon as possible. Otherwise, you outsiders will fall into the abyss from which we will never recover......"
Speaking of his companions, Li Ling nodded cautiously and said, "Okay, Your Highness Clara, I intend to accept your Fa, but can you tell me where these fantasy ideas of yours came from?" Since you have guided me, why have I not felt your so-called seed of consciousness and have not been affected by it in the slightest. Otherwise, you won't need to bother with words. ”
