The Witch Kings are my enemies because they stand in my way.

After Muhadi left, Thousand Souls thought.

Relying solely on the power of the Guardian Alliance, the Rebels will never be able to overthrow any of the Witch Kings. Karak, as the Witch King who is best at prophecy spells, would not have been able to hide any of their actions without his hindrance. And many slaves will not have the courage to rebel against their masters.

Self-esteem is a cheap thing, and most kneeling people may shout that they would rather die than be slaves, and when the knife is sharpened, such people are immediately less precious than water. Slaves are property, yes, they will be bought and sold, whipped and branded, to satisfy the carnal desires of their masters, and to give birth to more slaves. In any way they are not much better than brutes. But most people are very careful with their animals, not necessarily outsiders. In some places in the desert, a skewer of roasted lizard meat is enough to hire a hitman to assassinate someone.

There is no slave in the world whose identity is not chosen by themselves, and it occurred to Thousand Souls that even if they only had the two options of enslavement and death, they would always have a choice.

Yes, the success of the Tyre Revolution was ostensibly achieved by the Guardian Mages and the gladiators, and no one knows how much effort Thousand Souls made to achieve it. No one knows how easily the psychic sorcerers it sent have reversed the fear and fear that Karak had planted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and stow dissatisfaction with the Witch King among the nobles. No one knows how it affected the politics of the desert, and did not allow more city-states to unite against Tyre.

When the Guardian Mages stood in front of the stage and confronted the Witch Kings head-on. The Thousand Souls' plan is being carried out secretly but methodically.

For thousands of years, Tong Guò has concocted prophecies and legends, and Thousand Souls and its psychic magicians have succeeded in establishing mortal legends throughout the desert. Everyone believes that there is an apocalyptic savior who will descend on the desert to defeat the brutal Witch King and bring salvation to the world. But no one knew that this plan was just a conspiracy of a thousand souls.

Thousand Souls let Muhadi pretend to be a prophet who descended into the desert, because most of the psychic sorcerers were too weird and crazy to blend in with the mortals due to their long period of isolation. Some normal psychic warlocks, such as Tyre's Ekis, are serious on the surface, but they are actually crazy on the inside. And these people are too cunning to take on this task. It took a hint of skill to get the young psychic to take over the hot responsibility himself.

They knew that a thousand souls would eventually devour the man who was pretending to be a prophet.

Unlike mortals, Thousand Souls cannot grow properly, but he has a unique ability to devour other souls and gain all of their power and knowledge.

Therefore, Thousand Souls chose to let the agent spread the religion, so that it could avoid being attacked by the witch kings because of its appearance, and it did not have to worry about the tail not being lost. He can devour the person on the stage when he needs to.

And the purpose of a thousand souls is not ridiculous in order to review the glory of the ancient psychic warlocks, it has only one purpose, and that is to become a god.

When all the people in the desert are united by faith, a thousand souls will devour the false prophet and easily gain the worship of all. There are so many souls for it to draw on, and if it absorbs them, it can become a more powerful being, a true god.

It knew it would work, because it had worked before.

When explaining the worlds to the young psychic sorcerer, Thousand Souls did not explain the origin of psionic energy in detail, as it related to how it became a god.

In ancient times, the halfling civilization on Atas had just risen and had not yet reached its peak. They have biotechnology, but psionic skills are still closed to them.

The halfling's psionic skills were learned from a race of xenoplanes known as Psionics.

The psionic creatures with octopus heads, evil and imperial, are burly humanoids that stand nearly eight feet tall upright. Its body resembles purple-red rubber, shimmering with mucus. Psisuckers generally wear ornate robes that drag to the ground, and their octopus-like heads have two short tentacles and two extremely long tentacles. And their eyes are a pair of silvery-white and expressionless spheres.

Psionic monsters are naturally psionic creatures, they are good at mind-reading skills, they can cast all kinds of terrifying psionic powers, and they naturally have the ability to perform psychic explosions. This powerful race feeds on the brains of intelligent beings, and can suck the brains of their victims with their octopus-like tentacles. But the creepiest thing about them is the way they reproduce, and they have to kill to thrive.

Each group of spirit-absorbing monsters will have a mastermind. The main brain is usually located in the center of the Psionic community, and it is a sentient but disembodied giant brain that resides at the bottom of a pool filled with seawater. The nerve trunk of the main brain is made up of the brain tissue of the dead Mind Flayer detached from the body. In this way, the main brain can be said to be the aggregate of consciousness produced by the fusion and assimilation of the wills of the spirit-absorbing monsters. Each Psionite has the right and duty to one day become part of the Mastermind's great will, guiding and ruling over the community that once lived. While most psionics believe that their personalities will survive this transformation, they are really just part of the mastermind's overall will to induce the ** ego to merge into their own large, messy, fibrous tissue.

Adult Suckers are genderless, and each Suck has a slimy egg sac in their cranial cavity that contains their eggs. The psivalists place each of these oocysts on the surface of the liquid near the moist inner edge of the cerebral pool, and the eggs in the oocysts hatch into tadpole-like psivacuums. These larvae fight each other in the brainpool, the loser becomes the nourishment of the mastermind, and the winner grows bigger. After a larva has survived for ten years, an adult suck will place it on a humanoid's ear. The larvae will burrow into the victim's brain from the ear, eat the brain, and then manipulate the body to mutate into a new psychic monster.

This terrifying psionic creature caused great panic in Artas, but it also allowed the earliest halflings to learn the art of psionic energy and build the great empire of the Teal Age. Today, there are no more Psics in Attas, because the last surviving group of Psivacs was exterminated by the Witch King of Ankara more than 2,000 years ago.

The psionic energy of the Atas world is learned from the spirit to absorb monsters, and the ability to absorb monsters can be traced back to the devil.

Due to the huge attrition of soldiers in the bloody battle, the Battiz Devils who live in Bato's Nine Prisons want to get more soldiers. They tried to hybridize with creatures from the main matter plane to obtain hybrids suitable for battle. The Devil's Expeditionary Force has been sent to countless worlds in search of suitable races. After destroying countless elven and dwarven kingdoms that lack the ability to succeed militarily and reproduce quickly. They have found the human race, the race with the greatest potential for predation, greed, and evil.

Watching this qiē devil lord from the hellish plane salivate, they sent out the seductress of the demon form and the kidnapper of the Osai demon form. Years later, a large number of these humans - and their descendants - were taken to Bato Nine Prisons.

Humans are indeed good breeders of blood warriors, and when the Batiz devil mates with humans, the Tieflin (half-human, half-devil) race appears for the first time - tens of billions of them. Under a huge eugenics program, the weakest of them were killed, and the strongest were forced to breed again. The devil has spent countless centuries trying to create a superior race of warriors. For a while, "the number of half-breeds even outnumbered the devil himself."

But the "peaceful" days of these half-breed Tiflings in Barto did not last. When many powerful and evil unorthodox offspring were born, the Tiffling as a whole showed the most demonic traits all too often: individualism, disrespect for order, compassion, and even kindness!

For the evil Batiz, this is completely intolerable. This time, the devil is more rigorous in undoing their mistakes. They dug deep pits of death and created extinctions so great that they are said to be able to hear the screams of their victims even on the Infinity Pinnacle, the center of the multiverse. In fact, the devil's actions were so evil that even Bato's Nine Prisons themselves were not used to it, and the killing fields of Aphnanas and Minauros sank into the depths of Bato like leaden hearts. In ancient times, Bato was originally only seven floors, but this extermination created two new dimensions - the pyre of the cremation of the corpse and the sinking of the furnace formed Phlegosus, and the countless graves of trillions of corpses became Nessers.

And the evil of the devils is not only content with genocide, the evil ones scream, gnash their teeth, and vow that they will never spare the soft-skinned traitor for thousands of years, who tear their life, spirit, soul and consciousness out of their children and their children's children, and burn, slash and impale them until they die. In order to fully benefit from their "investment", the Batiz plundered everything of value they could find from the corpses of tens of billions of tiflins. Their skulls were knocked out and their brains removed. Their eyes and entrails were dug out of the corpses and made into materials for all sorts of evil magic weapons and spells. The Battiz also poured together the brains of their children who had left their bodies, creating a huge lake of intelligence in Nesses.

The pure gods and the nations of heaven heard the plea of the half-devil and turned away, for no good can arise from the life born of the waist of evil. The beings of goodness and light chose to stand idly by while an entire race of creatures was in danger of extinction.

The demons created the Lake of Wisdom, and then it seemed like millions of tiny voices screaming loudly, and then merging into a louder sound than anything ever heard before, and the Sea of Consciousness was born.

It was a gray pulp-like ocean of boundlessness, as large as the nine primordial oceans of the outer plane, boiling with intelligence and resentment, far more powerful than anything past or future. Unconsciously, the devils created the first psychic brain pool in the multiverse.

The Batiz Devils are a bold race, and they dare not take advantage of the lack of power. After the birth of the Sea of Consciousness, the Devil Lords cast a terrible spell of charm on the ocean, forcing the combined consciousness to obey the orders of its creator.

For countless centuries, the Devil has harnessed this sea of consciousness to achieve a series of victories against the rampaging Tanari demons. However, this group consciousness is much smarter and wittier than the devils. Despite its magical shackles, it plots to rebel against them. It was undoubtedly going to destroy the arrogant race, but an accident revealed that a demon was plotting a rebellion. The devil reported to his superiors, who in turn informed their superiors, and soon the entire race learned of the plot to tear Baatto's hell to pieces. In the midst of great rage, the Lord of the Devil, the master of the Nine Prisons of Bato, finally the Lord of the Prison uses a huge plastic energy magic that has never been seen before or since, to shatter that consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness fought back with incredible force, carving deep chasms through Nesssus until the entire lower plane was shaken by the ground. These earthquakes were felt in the bloody battlefields of the Scorching Hell and the Shura Field, so much so that the warring sides laid down their weapons and shrank on the ground trembling, waiting for the end to come.

The brutal revenge of the Batiz lasted for many days and nights, and the remnants of the Sea of Consciousness were discharged into the distance, forming Lethe and Styx in the outer planes. The fact that this polluted water still drains the memories of its drinkers to this day may be because the sea of consciousness still craves for thought.

The devils poured acid and oil on the residue and lit a fire that burned for a thousand and one nights. However, a small part of the Sea of Consciousness escaped the damage, sucking energy from Kania to block the flames, and the eighth layer of Hell was in eternal cold. It concentrated the last of its energy and escaped from the borders of the plane. Though it was weak and emaciated when it arrived in the Outlands, it was still as strong as a god. After hiding in a cave near the Infinite Peak, it became the god of Il, the creator of the spirit absorbing monsters.

The devil created the sea of consciousness, and he created the oldest spiritual power. The residue of the sea of consciousness turned into the Ilgod Siyin, and the creation of the spirit sucking monster race. The Attath halfling, on the other hand, learned how to use psionic energy from the Psionic Monsters.

Even if its strength is not as good as a fraction of its heyday, Il Shen Si Yin is still a powerful being. One can imagine how amazing the power of the sea of consciousness was in its heyday.

Since the Thousand Souls unearthed this hidden history buried among the planes, they have understood their future path. If the Sea of Consciousness can be so powerful that it is even among the gods, why can't it have a thousand souls? As long as it gathers enough souls, it has enough power to sweep through it.

The encounter with the Sea of Consciousness also reminds Thousand Souls that caution is the most important thing. The Devil Lords realized the conspiracy of the Sea and blew it to pieces. If the witch kings of Atas manifest a thousand souls and try to become gods, they will also try to erase their existence completely. One or two, Thousand Souls may be able to handle it, but it can't deal with them joining forces, and it can't deal with the most powerful witch king like Abupolis.

These two chapters have to take some time to explain the background problem. From the beginning of Azure Storm, the protagonist's experience cannot be limited to the city of Tyre and the surrounding area. In order to tell a new story, it is necessary to explain the background of D&D to unfamiliar readers. In addition, some of the content of this chapter is the content of the shame of Wild Sbattiz. Conflicts with many of the settings in FC. In the official setting of the Book of Strange Monsters, the Spirit-Suction Monsters are the race that will rule the entire universe in the future. After ruling all space, they still want to rule all time, so they continue to invade the "now" universe by time jumping. Therefore, this chapter belongs to the house rules, and should not be discussed with the setting party.
