Chapter 116: A Forked Path
It was Isabella who had woken up, and Riley was holding her beside her, and said angrily to her crazy brother: "Lala, lala, what!
"Ahh
After a commotion, the four sat down again.
Riley explains the ins and outs of what happened.
George and Riley worked together to improve the Cruel Angels, but not in terms of brain modification, but in terms of the use of mental power.
Manipulating cruel angels requires a lot of mental power, which is difficult to guarantee even for a mentally strong priest.
The main reason why the consumption of spiritual power is so high is that the conversion rate is too low, more than eighty percent of the spiritual power is lost in vain, and only one or twenty percent can be used to manipulate the cruel angels. So, George and Riley took a different path.
"Brother, you must remember George's Slime Golem Healing, he used it on Royce, and later on Barrell and Carol. β
Dark's mind suddenly remembered the graveyard in Port Snell, where there was an underground research institute where Barrell and Carroll, who had been seriously injured, were healed with the Slime Golem Healing Technique.
"What does this have to do with mental power. β
George said: "The slime is very sensitive to magic energy fluctuations and lifeforms, and under the right conditions, it can coexist with most lifeforms. Barrel's damaged heart, Carol's shattered spine, were all restored in this way. β
Riley continued: "Isabella is not 'becoming' into a cruel angel, but 'manipulating', but no matter how hard she tries, she can't reduce the loss of mental power - for example, driving a car, no matter how clever a driver is, it is impossible to drive the car as nimble as commanding her own arm." β
"Of course, the arms are on the body. β
"So, we filled the inner layer of the Cruel Angel with a slime filler. β
"What do you mean?"
Isabella laughed, "Meaning, I only need to move my hands and feet, and the slime filler will perfectly reproduce my movements on the cruel angel." There is no mental energy loss at all. β
Duck doesn't care about that, all he knows is that Isabella is fine!
He couldn't hide his joy, rubbed his hands and said, "No matter what, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." β
George said coldly: "You don't think about it, does the crazy behavior of the cruel angel have anything to do with Isabella?"
"Uh......"
Riley said: "The design idea of the Cruel Angel is to sacrifice the brains of a few elite warriors in exchange for the explosion of super battle puppets in a short period of time. So it can be manipulated in two ways. The first is the rush mentioned just now, the mental power loss is extremely high, but the combat effectiveness is average, which is used to deal with less intense battles. β
"What about the other one?"
"I'm sure you've seen Sister Lala's crazy but very effective fighting methods, right?"
Duck nodded.
"This is the second mode, these attack methods are integrated in the cruel angel manipulation core, as long as the manipulator has the determination to die, and injects enough spiritual power into the manipulation core to activate it, it will enter the mode of crazy attack output, the three sages call this mode of horrific slaughter 'rampage'. ββ
"And then the manipulator will die, or will he become an idiot because of permanent damage to his brain?"
"That's right, so after the Three Sages developed the Cruel Angel, they thought that the gains outweighed the losses, so they didn't make further improvements. It was not until later that Master Nicholas and Lady Alexia were married, and it was improved by Lady Alexia. β
Dakchi said, "Lady Alexia is also a master of alchemy?"
Riley pouted, "You just know, she's not only a master of alchemy, but also a master of psychic spells." β
"No wonder you wanted to give me and Royce the props to be immune to mind control spells at Iron Tooth Village. I seeβhow did she improve it?"
"Remember the construct golem in the Farug Underground Library, which uses a magic circuit breaker. β
"When you are hit by a fatal attack, the magic circuit will automatically be cut off and transferred to other lines?"
"Yes. In fact, that technique is the masterpiece of Master Nicholas and George's ancestor, Master Flammel. But alas, there was only one chance to practice. Later, this technology was kept in the Iron Tooth Village. Lady Alexia combined it with a cruel angel. β
"How did it improve?"
"When the 'rampage' mode is activated, the adjustable mental circuit breaker mechanism is also activated at the same time, which will force the manipulator to retain a minimum of one percent and a maximum of fifteen percent of mental power, forcing him to enter a state of suspended animation, reserving the possibility of repairing the brain. β
George chimed in: "Theoretically, the circuit breaker is inversely proportional to the power of the rampage, and directly proportional to the safety of the manipulator. β
"So, the 'angel' that Lara encountered when she landed on Alcatraz Island when she was a child was improved by Lady Alexia and Master Nicholas?"
George said, "That's true. At that time, the Three Sages had already parted ways, and Alcatraz was actually controlled by my parents, so she was lucky not to be reduced to experimental material. If it falls into the hands of Rodriguez......"
"So, what's the situation now, is Lara okay?"
"Strictly speaking, there will still be sequelae. Mainly psychologically. The cruel angel's killing frenzy will produce strong psychological implications, and the more she fights, the more likely she is to become a bloodthirsty madman or an idiot with a nervous breakdown. β
Duck didn't hesitate: "I won't let her fight in this dehumanizing way again, never." β
"I'm glad you think so, but someone doesn't. β
"Who?"
"Who else, the Cult of the Illuminati. If our research path is a path of respect and reverence for life, they are the oppositeβthe path of the main brain and the secondary brain that I just mentioned. β
"Is it utter contempt for human nature? It seems that you went back this time to gather a lot of information. β
"Yes. For my sake, my father was forced to choose to cooperate with the Cult of Light. Now, the Cult of Light has stolen all of his research and is trying to create cruel angels. β
Dark's heart tightened: "Their strength is much stronger than ours, once we complete the mass production of the Cruel Angel, we have no chance of winning." Luckily, both Master Nicholas and Lady Alexia are on our side. β
"My father can't stand on our side, he's been killed. β
Duck was shocked: "What?"
"Didn't I understand enough? My father was killed, my mother was placed under house arrest, and Iron Tooth Village became the property of the Church. I was stripped of all titles and titles. Now, a bunch of robed villains are flexing their muscles in my houseβdo you understand what I say?"
