Name: Iron slag

Evolution type: Traditional Evolutionary, Atavistic Evolutionary (Worm Mutant)

Evolution: 29%

Gene strand stability: unknown

Insect ability: Blade Carapace (rare), Blade Foot (rare), Latent Parasite (rare)

Overall Combat Power Assessment: Silver High (refer to Templar Power Level)

Notes: The Templars' combat power data is divided into 16 levels, Bronze (Junior High Rank), Black Iron (Junior High Rank), Silver (Junior High Rank), Gold (Junior High Rank), Diamond (12 3 Ranks), and Holy Rank (no rank above Holy Rank).

"Silver High Rank? Is this data accurate? Iron Slag asked, looking at the screen.

[The Templar combat power level is currently the most commonly used combat power evaluation system, except for the Force user, it is suitable for any type of evolutionary, the silver intermediate level is equivalent to the third-order psionic evolutionary or the traditional evolutionary with a 30% evolution degree, the captain is a composite evolutionary, the comprehensive evolution degree and insect transformation ability, the overall evaluation is silver high-level]

"How can I get stronger?" He asked again.

Over the years, he had almost no opponents in Iron Mountain Town, so he hadn't thought about how to become stronger at all. However, after experiencing the assassination of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, he realized that he was so weak. Coupled with the amazing strength shown by Lina, he understood that his invincibility in Iron Mountain Town was built under the wings of his eldest sister, and people stronger than him would not dare to attack him at all.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of Lena's performance in bed, and he was suddenly depressed. The so-called conquest turned out to be just the result of coaxing him and letting him......

Thinking of this, Iron Slag subconsciously touched his forehead, feeling deceived.

[You must find the right training method to increase your combat power.] Psionics can learn various "secret texts" and then obtain an increase in psionic strength through "meditation" and "prayer", while traditional evolutionaries mainly rely on talent, and the degree of evolution will increase or weaken with age, and will be less affected by acquired training, as for atavistic evolutionists, they can only obtain new abilities through genetic plunder]

"Tell me more about it."

[With the exception of mysterious Force users, evolutionaries are generally divided into three main categories, psionics, tradition, and atavism]

[There are some similarities between psionic energy and tradition, and the evolutionary reason is because of a high-level energy substance called "psionic energy"]

[There is no essential difference between traditional evolutionaries and ordinary humans, only the concentration of psionic energy in the body is different]

"I have psionic powers, too?" Iron Slag interjected and asked.

[All human beings contain psionic energy in their bodies, but the nervous system of traditional evolutionaries and ordinary humans is not enough to perceive the existence of psionic energy, and the biggest characteristic of psionic people is the perfection of the nervous system, they can perceive the existence of psionic energy, and control and use it, and at the same time, they can also learn from the experience summarized by their predecessors (secret texts) to speed up the absorption and strengthening of psionic energy]

[The psionic energy in the body of the traditional evolutionary is evenly distributed in each cell, which can only strengthen the physical fitness, but cannot be used and controlled]

[From the perspective of life evolution, psionics are the most advanced life forms of human beings at present, while traditional evolutionaries can be regarded as ordinary humans with high physical fitness, however, atavistic evolutionaries are more like a regression]

[The human gene chain contains all the information from single-celled organisms to intelligent organisms, so when human beings encounter an existential crisis, one of the directions is to find solutions in the gene information database.] Bamboo usually reproduces by rhizomes, and when necessary, it can flower and bear fruit, allowing the seeds to migrate. Snakes can reproduce parthenogenesis if necessary, earthworms can regenerate organs, and insects can hibernate for hundreds of years, all of which are abilities that humans have once abandoned. Therefore, human beings can regain these abilities and adapt to the new environment through atavism. Among the known gene chains, insects are the most adaptable life forms, so humans will give preference to insect forms when they return to their ancestors.]

[Since the insectized ability is an atavistic phenomenon, there are many types of mutations, which causes a large number of insectized mutants to lose their intelligence, or lose some of their original human abilities, or become evil due to instinct. For example, some insect mutants gain the ability to reproduce in the hive, and become difficult to control their desires, and thus lose their humanity]

[However, there are also a few scientists who point out that only the insect form can truly adapt to the harsh environment, and the more refined the evolution, the higher the requirements for the environment, the lower its adaptability]

"What does it take to get stronger? You seem to be off topic! Iron Slag reminded with a frown.

[This is the basis for Alice's plan, and it is necessary to explain it to the captain]

[According to Alice's calculations, the only way for the captain to become stronger is through genetic plunder]

[The Temple of Lost Splendor a hundred years ago once summarized the advantages and disadvantages of various insect abilities, and divided the abilities into four levels, Basic, Rare, Epic, and Legendary]

[However, this information has become taboo, and there is very little mention of specific insect abilities on the international network, so there are only a few records in Alice's database]

[By some uncertain criteria, the captain's three insect abilities should only be of rarity level]

[In some uncertain information, the epic ability Cocoon Rebirth and Cocoon Evolution are very powerful abilities, Cocoon Rebirth can repair most of the fatal wounds, and Cocoon Evolution can freely adjust life forms]

[As for the legendary insect ability, Alice's database has no information]

"It sounds good, but the narcissus doctor once said that you must first test the stability of your gene chain before you can use gene plunder, otherwise it will lead to chaos in the gene chain, and eventually the body will collapse, or some unforeseen mutations will appear, and even lose intelligence and humanity."

[Genetic predation does have some risks, and data collected by Alice on the international network shows that about 15% of mutants have problems after using genetic predation, and about 20% of them will develop dementia or loss of control.] According to these data, only 3% of the total number of cases of genetic collapse occurred.]

[More than three hundred years ago, the Temple of Glory divided the stability of the gene chain into seven levels, namely the fragile gene chain, the ordinary gene chain, the stable gene chain, the solid gene chain, the diamond array, the absolute barrier, and the eternal immortality]

[However, with the demise of the Temple of Splendour, the instruments used to test genetic stability were gradually destroyed by the Temple.] Later, the Templars classified the Wormed Mutants as heretics and began a century-long purge.]

[Today, the civilization of the insectized mutants has disappeared, and it is no longer possible to test the stability of the gene chain]

"No one can decide where they come from and what they mutate, can they? But why do these people want to destroy us? What the hell are we doing wrong! Iron Slag involuntarily clenched his fists and asked with red eyes.

[Alice scans the captain's adrenaline levels to rise dramatically.] Please calm down, this is just a piece of history, and history is always cruel, so please analyze it with a rational mind]

[Only time will tell if the past is right or wrong.] Worm mutants do have a lot of flaws. In the process of their atavism, some of them have become mentally distorted, some have become sadistic, some have been unable to control their desires, and some have even fed on their own kind, these are undeniable facts]

Alice's analysis made the iron slag fall into deep thought. Indeed, in his past memories, the wormed mutants he encountered were almost always inclined to be evil, crazy, and selfish. Thinking of this, he felt a little lost, and even began to doubt himself......

Is it destined to be evil?

Shouldn't it exist?

Maybe......

Suddenly, an old and determined voice sounded in the depths of his heart.

"You're my pride."

This sentence is like a vast and boundless hand, which lifts away the clouds in my heart and allows the sunshine to return to the earth.

Right! I'm your pride!

Even if you are the only one in this world who agrees with me, it is enough!

The starry gaze, forever guiding his path in the darkness.

After a long time, he recovered from his confusion and asked lightly, "Alice, is there any information about the temple and the end of the world?" ”

[There is a lot of information about the temple, but very little at the end of the world]

[The Ancient Temple is one of the three major religions in the world, believing in ancestor worship, occupying 7% of the world's dioceses, but mainly concentrated in the fringes of the Far Eastern continent]

[The farthest South is called the "Home of the Forsaken", and the farthest North is called the "End of the World"]

[For thousands of years, these two places have been so mysterious that almost no one has set foot on them]

[The north of the Sea of Darkness is a barren land, inhabitable and uninhabitable by humans, with only a handful of travelers' footprints, so there is very little information]

"The diocese of the temple is in the Far East, but let me go to the end of the world in the north, why is that?" Iron Slag asked.

[There is too little information available for Alice to answer]

"Okay, sleep." With that, Iron Slag put down his hood, shrunk into the corner, and soon fell asleep......

In the middle of the night, most of the people in Luoyan Town fell asleep, but the bar was still brightly lit and lively.

At this moment, in the giant wooden barrel, the carnival has entered its climax. The drunken bar owner strips off his shirt, revealing his white flesh, jumps on the long table and wiggles his ass.

"Good!" "Beauty, twist harder!" "Uncle Radish! Come on! ”“yeah!” "Lalala...... Lalala......" With the sound of cheers, the boss twisted even more happily. Maybe when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will feel so lonely about tonight's gaffe that he has lost his enthusiasm for feeding pigs.

"Hahaha......" The captain laughed maniacally as he hugged the fat girl and raised his glass.

"It's so annoying~It's so bad~" The fat girl smiled and pushed the captain's chest. As a result, she accidentally pushed the captain out of the boat with too much force, and hit a group of sailors......

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! It's a poisonous spider coming! It's a poisonous spider coming......" In the confusion, someone shouted drunkenly, and the scene suddenly became even more unbearable, and the sailors bumped into each other like headless flies, stirring up a mess......

"The poisonous spider is here, help!" "Surrender, we surrender!" "Don't kill us, we're just choosing." "Don't, don't come here."

"Bang!" The captain fired a shot into the sky and shouted, "What a panic! The poisonous spider has been killed by me! Feed the fish! ”

"She's immortal." "I heard her ass breathes fire." "A nuclear bomb will be launched in the chest!" "She'll definitely be back." Even when drunk, the sailors did not forget the terrible man.

“no…… no…… "No......" said the captain, jumping onto the table and shaking his head, "the poisonous spider is dead, dead under my cannon, and if you see it with your own eyes, you will be extremely proud of your invincible captain." "The captain lowered his voice and said mysteriously," said the captain, "that day, like a chicken, shivering before me, and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, but...... But! The captain strengthened his tone, bowed his head to a dumbfounded sailor and asked, "Do you think I will have mercy on her?" ”

"It's impossible to ......" "No." "Is it true?" "Is what he said true?" The sailors replied with a rambling voice.

"Of course not!" The captain raised his pistol, assumed a gesture that he thought was handsome, and said, "I killed her, right in front of me." Then he spread his five fingers, grabbed the air hard, and then chewed it as if he had put something in his mouth, chewing hard, revealing a very delicious appearance. Finally, he exhaled deeply, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, and exclaimed, "I dug out her heart, her blood and flesh are so delicious, this is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life." ”

The scene became silent, and the sailors looked at each other, as if shocked by the bloody picture depicted by the captain.

After a while, the sailors erupted in a round of applause!

"Well done!" "He's our chief." "I shook his hand." "The captain is invincible!" "Long live the chief!" "King of the Black Sea!"

"He's lying......" someone whispered, but the voice of reason was soon drowned out by another......
