Chapter 200: Five Years; The Lost Battleship Down
In other words, although the Mass Effect world is a world of high magic and high technology, there is always an irreparable difference between the external energy of this world and the magical energy of the normal world. The difficulty of controlling magical energy increased by a hundredfold, and even a magic master like Lu Yuan had to use the "eternal" staff to ensure the success rate of casting spells.
In other words, in such a world, it is much more difficult to give birth to a magical civilization than a technological civilization.
But then again, since the soil is fertile, then plants must grow. Although a mature magic system cannot be established, the development of spiritual power is not lagging behind other worlds - the giant Leviathan is one of the best.
Every individual of this race is a spiritual master! Behemoths are adept at using their psychic powers to control and enslave creatures of other races. It is by virtue of their invincible ability that they have dominated the entire galaxy for tens of millions of years! This ability is called "edification".
Lu Yuan's doubts lie here-
If the original reapers, who were made from the corpse of the giant beast Leviathan, and thus the "pioneer" level reapers, inherited the spiritual ability of the giant beast Leviathan, this is quite reasonable, then where did the subsequent "overlord" level reapers, who were made with different races, come from their indoctrination ability?! ――You can't learn it, do you?
Thinking of the scene where the "pioneer" level harvester held a teaching class and the "overlord" level harvester was a primary school student, Lu Yuan wanted to laugh very much......
It wasn't until he saw the millions of twisted and screaming souls on the wreckage of this battleship that Lu Yuan suddenly realized at this moment! A question is suddenly clear!
It seems that the giant Leviathan was really relieved when it made the AI "catalyst". Not only did they teach their knowledge, spiritual abilities, etc., but they did not even hide the secrets of the soul - when the spiritual power of the creature was strong enough, it would definitely come into contact with the existence of the soul.
The reason why the "Pioneer" class reaper is so powerful. Not only because its body was made from the corpse of the behemoth Leviathan, but also its soul! That is, "Pioneer" class reapers. It's almost a reappearance of the original Behemoth Leviathan! Their psychic abilities are incomparably powerful, and they can brainwash and remotely control creatures remotely. It is even possible for the soul to leave one's own body and occupy the body of another!
In contrast, the "edification" ability possessed by the "overlord" level reaper is nothing more than a simple and crude imitation of the spiritual ability of the giant beast Leviathan by gathering the power of millions of souls.
After figuring out the whole thing, Lu Yuan completely relieved himself and began to sit cross-legged, quietly understanding the impact of this "education" ability on his spiritual world. If there is a law, there must be a break. Now that he understands the cause and effect, then Lu Yuan is confident that he will completely solve the problem of "education"!
As a master of magic, he is probably the authority on the pinnacle of the entire world when it comes to the study of souls.
"You listen carefully, and they can help you find the flaws in your heart." Lu Yuan said casually to Feng Mixiang. Yuka will be suspicious of this-so many people are "buzzing" in her ears like flies, and the more she listens, the more irritated she feels! I just want to beat up whoever you want!
"Our strength is invincible! ”】
["Face your own ruin! ”】
Lu Yuan is right, even if she is as strong as the wind and sees the fragrance, her soul is also being affected by the "overlord".
The principle of "education" is actually to magnify a certain "weakness" in the heart, or even a beautiful emotion!
It can make cowards choose to give up - like Salen. As the genius of the Turks, the youngest ghost agent of the Citadel. He hides his weakness under a hard exoskeleton. Cover up with your own great strength and ruthless killing, so that others can't detect it! But when the Reapers' capture of his soul, heroes like Saren face the impending Reaper invasion. Instead, they chose capitulationism and escapitarianism......
It can also make the stubborn ambitious - the Phantom Man, for example. In the trilogy, his attitude towards humanity gradually changes from salvation to domination, from survival to hegemony, and finally even wants to control the reaper! The Reaper quietly twisted his obsession with "protecting mankind" into the ambition of "ruling mankind", and finally he became a tool of the Reaper.
There are many more such examples, such as a person who loves his wife very much. Then the Reaper made a "deal" with him, in exchange for giving up the attack on his wife's colony, in exchange for his willingness to lead the team into the Reaper's trap......
That's what makes the Reaper so hateful! Whether it's the shortcomings in human nature. like weakness, cruelty, selfishness, ......; Or the shining points in human nature, such as love, sacrifice, protection...... Eventually, they can be used for it!
Imagine...... I'm afraid that's how the giant Leviathan ruled the galaxy in the first place......
What a hate!
"We are the beginning of a new century. You are at the end of your rope! ”】
"You're a vermin! ”】
Reaper warships are made from the corpses of tens of millions, billions of creatures, shackled souls. frantically rushed towards the two of them, screaming and pleading...... Countless voices echoed in the ears of the two people.
Kazami Yuka has always been pure-hearted and has few desires, but likes to plant flowers and fight. At this moment, her soul was surging and rolling like a boiling lake under the influence of this chaotic noise! Gradually render a layer of dark purple magic color!
On the contrary, Master Lu, who is greedy for money and sex, is lazy to eat, likes to be greedy for small and cheap, and his heart and eyes are smaller than the nose of a needle, but his soul is like a piece of pure cyan glass. Let those tens of millions of unjust souls brush back and forth, I open the sky from the sea and the sky, and I don't linger.
Seeing Feng Youxiang glaring at him angrily, Lu Yuan reached out and touched Youxiang's hair, muttering in his mouth, "Don't hurry~Don't hurry~, come, read with me...... The world is so beautiful, but I'm so grumpy, so bad, so bad. ”
Seeing the fragrance to the extreme, Feng suddenly smiled, "You go to die!" ”
A small fist like jade slammed into Master Lu's cheeks!
*****
"Okay, don'......t do it," Lu Yuan complained stupidly. He held a black pot in his left hand and waved a scroll of his staff in his right hand, "Dementor!" ”
"We are immortal, you are just bacteria! ”】
The Reaper's spirit roared......
The tens of millions of souls that were almost the size of the entire Reaper battleship were under the control of magic. It was like a jackdaw rushing into the water, rushing into the little pot one after another. When the last soul also got in, Lu Yuan took out a lid and stuffed it gently. "It's done! It's that simple...... Still noisy? ”
Kazami Yuka gave him a roll of his eyes, don't speak. I'm annoying you......
When it comes to manipulating souls, the giant Leviathan has accumulated some methods. But no matter how much it can't compare to a prosperous magical civilization, the spells for the soul on the side of the Gate of Bode are all systematic-Lu Yuan's pocket has more than a hundred spells involving the soul!
After receiving the soul of the battleship, the ship was completely "dead". No, it should have been downgraded from a synthetic battleship to an ordinary mechanical battleship. With a computer's control, the ship's mass effect core or something is still running. There was no immediate disintegration.
"Then let's go......" Lu Yuan waved his staff three times, and a huge gate of light shrouded the entire two-kilometer-long battleship!
……
Ships approaching the Falcon ETA Repeater saw a spectacle today.
A strange ship with a big hole in it, tattered, and on the verge of disintegration, suddenly appeared near the repeater! On its body, except for the thin layer of shrouds, there is no running engine in sight, and there is no operator in sight...... It's puzzling how the ship came to be. (Ships moving away from the speed of light while sailing can cause a sudden appearance.) )
But about "ghost ships" and the like. There is no shortage of strange anecdotes in interstellar voyages, but they still prevent them from coming forward to find out.
"Moximosi, it's the Dawn. I'm your captain! There's a ship here, let's make a passage...... Logotype? Wood has a mark...... What does the ship look like? Probably, like a reaper...... Don't shell it! ”
Then, in a burst of blue light, the strange battleship disappeared from everyone's sight.
……
On the Mothership of Dawn, in a room that had been completely isolated, Lu Yuan re-released the Reaper's spirit.
"You are ignorant, but we are omniscient! ”】
["You only hurt my container, you can't hurt me!"] ”】
Spirits roar and roll through the room. From time to time, it turned into a hideous monster and opened its big mouth to Lu Yuan in protest. But Lu Yuan seemed to turn a blind eye to this...... He unfolded six huge television screens. Occupies six of the interior of the house. After confirming that the TV could not be destroyed by the spirit, Lu Yuan turned on the TV. Then he retreated.
On that TV screen, what was scrolling was the program highlights of the original "Voice of Country X" over the years. Concentrated ...... But it's all the essence! The brainwashing of the gods is still the simplest and crudest methods of the KGB, but it is also the most effective......
Time goes by day by day, year by year.
Lu Yuan seemed to have completely forgotten about that room and the Reaper soul that had been imprisoned in it.
Finally, when the fifth year arrived, the pure white room ...... Finally a gap opened, and Lu Yuan came in.
At this time, there were no monsters in the room, and there were no reapers. There was only one soul crouching in front of the television and watching it carefully - its form had changed to a human form - but that's not the point! The point is that it is only one, and it is no longer made up of thousands of lonely souls.
All the souls have been condensed into one. His eyes remained fixed on the television screen, his lips quivering slightly with the speech inside, as if repeating. Even when Lu Yuan walked in, he couldn't let his eyes take his eyes off the TV.
"What do you want right now?" Lu Yuan asked softly.
"Cook, swim!" It replied hoarsely, and there seemed to be a million layers of harmony in it!
――――――
ps: Lao Lei has always felt that only the Reaper can brainwash humans, which is simply weak! The brainwashing technology of our earthlings is to break through the zenith! Backwashing back is the real cow c...... (To be continued)
