Chapter 346: The Secret Coveted by the Lord of Dawn

(Thanks to Du Niang!The information about the Mind Flayer is very comprehensive!Rearranged it.,It's not plagiarism!)

Some people say that the Mind Flayer is not a primordial demon, but a lifeform from another world, but the first world it arrives in is the Endless Abyss Plane with a weak barrier between the worlds of the multiverse.

After coming to the Abyss, the Mind Flayer was affected by the power of the Abyss, and once again evolved, developing into the existence it is today.

This terrifying and evil creature that is good at manipulating the minds of other creatures and likes to feed on the brains of intelligent creatures can only survive in the dark regions beneath the surface of the Overworld, except for the Abyssal Plane.

The Dark Realm is the closest place to the Endless Abyss in the spatial structure of the Overworld, so it has been affected by the leaked abyssal aura and demonic creatures, and it has gradually become dominated by the evil camp, which has been strengthened a lot after the Spider Queen ruled over the Dark Elves, the largest intelligent race in the underworld.

If it weren't for the complex and changeable terrain of the dark region and the numerous branch caves, even the powerful dark elf race would not be able to fully grasp it, and its strength would only be able to radiate about three-tenths of the entire underground world.

Then the Mind Flayer race, which is good at controlling and enslaving the hearts of other intelligent creatures, I am afraid that there is no place for other camps of intelligent creatures to live underground.

Metamorphosis is a terrifying metamorphosis process that the Mind Flayer Tadpole undergoes when it becomes an adult Mind Flayer.

To describe it in human terms, it's one word, parasitism!

It is a ritual that is kept secret by the Psychic Monsters, and the process of metamorphosis begins when an adult Mind Flayer implants a fully developed Mind Flayer tadpole-like larvae into the ear of a helpless humanoid.

The Mind Flayer tadpole will burrow into the victim's brain, quickly eating the main control part of it and replacing it with its own filthy body tissue.

Eventually, the baby Mind Flayer will merge with the victim's uneaten lower brain stem, obliterating all remnants of personality and soul, and when these things completely disappear from the **, the Mind Flayer's young body can use it as its own body.

Within a day, the victim's ** will also begin to change in form until the process of metamorphosis from a juvenile to an adult Mind Flayer is finally completed.

During the metamorphosis, the host's own body tissue will be replaced by a parasitic Mind Flayer, and when the transformation process is over, the original host will cease to exist, and neither "expelling disease", "lifting the curse", nor "resurrecting the dead", "restoration", "complete resurrection" or similar powerful and divine techniques can reverse this process.

It is not possible to resurrect the victim unless he finds the soul or soul fragment of the victim, kills the parasitic Mind Flayer soul, and then uses wishing magic, miracle magic, or a more powerful reality-altering technique to restore the host's body.

But those who can do such a thing, and do it perfectly, must at least be a powerful spellcaster above the legendary level, or a powerful existence above the demigod, such as a true god, so except for a very few lucky ones, the creatures that are enslaved by the Mind Flayer and finally become the host will eventually cease to exist!

In addition, the Mind Flayer will not inherit any commonalities from its victims, such as habits, personalities, etc., nor will it acquire its gender characteristics. In other words, organs that belong to the reproductive aspects of the original host humanoid have become useless ornaments.

Adult Mind Flayers place great emphasis on the selection of humanoid hosts that can be used for larval parasitism, as not all humanoid races are suitable for creating new Mind Flayers, which is limited by certain height and weight ranges, as well as the host's internal nervous and physiological structures.

For example, among humanoids, humans and elves are the most suitable choices, while most intelligent races such as fishmen, dwarves, and goblins are completely unsuitable for mind flayer parasitism!

Mind Flayers tend to select the healthiest individuals from their slave camps to metamorphose - but they prefer to raid other forces in the Netherlands or the Surface World, where they capture slaves to ensure they have the best and freshest "ingredients" at all times.

A very small number of regular Mind Flayer hatchlings will take twice the standard time, about twenty-five years, to develop enough to metamorphose into an adult.

If they had the chance, they would become Eaters of Souls, a form of power beyond ordinary Mind Flayers.

Almost out of twenty thousand Mind Flayer hatchlings, there will be only one Soul Eater tadpole that will survive to full maturity. While the average Mind Flayer Hatchling will die in large numbers and be reduced to the nourishment of other larvae and the main brain, almost two out of a thousand tadpoles can successfully survive and metamorphose. In other words, the chance of a Soul Eater appearing is 1 in 40 among Mind Flayers who grow and survive in the same batch.

Each Mind Flayer can lay eggs twice in their lifetime, about a thousand at a time, so the number of Mind Flayers in the same batch of eggs must reach twenty, and the number of surviving hatchlings is about forty, among which there may be Soul Eaters.

Fortunately, it is the relatively low reproduction rate of the Mind Flayer race that makes them only live in seclusion and in the depths of the abyssal plane and underground caves, otherwise the intelligent creatures of the main world may suffer.

Soul Eaters are much taller than their weaker counterparts, nearly seven and a half feet tall, more than two heads taller than the average human. Once born, they can quickly rise to the top of the entire psionic community, surpassing ordinary psionic monsters and becoming the glory of the race.

In addition to their size, they also have two additional tentacles. This gives them a total of six tentacles and is revered by the vast majority of their four-tentacle counterparts.

This kind of respect is reflected in the powerful strength of the Soul Eater, the ordinary Mind Eater is nothing more than the strength of bronze when he becomes an adult, because the weirdness of the psychic ability can exert combat power beyond the rank, and the Soul Eater generally has close or formal silver strength as long as the transformation is completed, and has the talent qualification to be promoted to gold in just ten years or so.

Soul Eaters also have a much longer lifespan than regular Mind Flayers, living for at least two hundred and fifty years, and often outlived before merging into the Mastermind.

Normally, they are the leaders of the Mind Flayers, or the leaders of the hunting party, or the liaison with their gods and masterminds, with abilities similar to those of senior priests, and many of them working part-time at the same time.

Regardless, the appearance of the Soul Eater is very rare, and its birth means that the Mind Flayer community can be proud to have a Soul Eater Elder who only spawns one out of every ten Mind Flayer communities.

And Donald knew that the Mind Flayer in front of him was the powerful and unique individual in the species, the Eater of Souls.

There is an extremely small chance after birth, some powerful Mind Flayer (Soul Eater) with unique talents will mutate when transforming, and can occupy the body of a humanoid creature without changing its general appearance, or even most of the internal organizational structure, and become a kind of Mind Flayer that preserves its human form on a 99% basis.

This will make it easier for them to break into human society, and get more enslavement objects and food!

Some high-level mind snatchers who have mastered the ability of strong ** magic will also use transformation spells to change their forms to infiltrate humans and other intelligent races to obtain their own food and slaves!

And these humanoid Soul Eaters, which have rarely appeared throughout history, are generally cultivated by the Mastermind as future heirs, and once the humanoid Soul Eaters meet the conditions, they can transform again, become the new Mastermind, and divide into a new Mind Flayer community. Increase the overall strength of their Mind Flayer.

That's why Donald didn't rush to deal with this humanoid Soul Eater captured by the imprisoned and imprisoned in Radiant Purgatory, it would be strange to say that this guy has no secrets!

Just looking at the fact that the Radiant Tritheistic Church actually dispatched prison guards to capture it, and it was also a legendary powerhouse with a powerful sub-artifact, leading two gold and nine silver masters to carry out the mission, you knew that something important must have happened.

So Donald plans to try this humanoid Eater of Souls, and it's not too late to kill it when the time comes.

Seeing the appearance of the human mage in front of him and the hidden strength, as well as the space around him that imprisoned it, Soul Eater Onel couldn't help but flash a trace of fiery greed in his heart.

Whether it is the other party's powerful body, which is the host suitable for him to breed the next generation, or this powerful half-plane that can be used to develop and expand the Mind Flayer Demon Kingdom, it is a temptation that Onell is extremely eager for.

Although the Mind Flayer has the same memory and extraordinary experience, he did not recognize the legendary kingdom of God, after all, it is too far away, obviously it regards the space in front of him as a strange and vast half-plane, most powerful mages and demigod powerhouses will spend a lot of energy to find the half-plane, occupying a half-plane is of great benefit to them for the growth of their own strength and future development!

Of course, only a few of them succeeded in the end, these half-plane masters are undoubtedly the most powerful and top beings in the main world, and the Mind Flayer community in their main world and even in the abyss has never mastered the existence of the half-plane, and even the most powerful mastermind cannot create a half-plane on its own.

Donald, who is the master of the small half of the realm of truth, sensed it through the rules of the kingdom of God as soon as the Mind Flayer had evil thoughts, and couldn't help but look at the Heart Flayer coldly.

The Mind Flayer is generally an existence with high intelligence in some aspect, and as soon as he saw the cold thoughts in the other party's eyes, he immediately figured out his situation, so his posture instantly became humble.

"Dead or alive, it's your choice, I want to know why the people of the Church of the Lord of the Dawn are arresting you, say it and you have a chance to live!"

Donald's words were cold, without any other feelings, without saying a word, as if the other party was a waste that could be given up at any time, and had no use value.

"Master Mage, I escaped from prison, because I have some information that the God of Dawn wants to obtain, so they want to capture me!"
