Chapter 374: The Prophet's Moment (1/3)

Prophets cannot prophesy prophets...... This is a common sense on the continent of Terra about the 'Prophetic Psychics' that only exist in legends.

Indeed, even the prophecy books of the Huaiguang Church cannot predict the future of Ian, and can only predict the possibility of the hive alone.

But this unpredictability is not absolute, just as Ian can correct his actions by predicting his brother's future.

The prophecies of the Huaiguang Church can also be keenly aware of the abnormality of the hive, even if they don't know how harmful the 'swarm path' will be after Ian and the hive are combined, they can indeed know that 'there is a calamity to guard against here'.

Ian once communicated with Bishop White Mist, and after knocking on the side, he learned that when Bishop White Mist missed and died in the South China Sea Labyrinth, there would be a third-level Archbishop of Tianyan who drove the Aether armed out.

The second-level Viscount Grant, with a half-good and not bad ether armament, can dominate the sea of trees in the Great Sequoia Forest, and confront the redwood natives with many second-level totem spirits, even if the multinational fleet arrives behind, they dare not cross the line and break into the South China Sea maze.

If the first level is to make people step into the transcendent boundary, then the second level is to give the sublimator the ability to fight the army on his own.

So, what kind of power does the third energy level have?

Bishop White Mist's narrative is actually very simple.

"In order to completely eradicate the hive, the Archbishop of Tianyan considered destroying all the energy-power modules of the South China Sea Labyrinth, and using the remaining heat of the energy group to completely cleanse the surrounding sea."

To put it simply, it is to blow up the twelve giant fusion furnace cores of the ruins, and then use their energy to create a super-giant storm that washes the surrounding sea into white ground.

Let's not talk about whether the other party can do it or not, at least Ian is sure that even he will not survive in the face of that level of destruction.

The hive self may have foreseen this, so he did not kill the White Mist Bishop in that path of fate, but disguised the fact of his death.

Retracting his thoughts, Ian had already arrived at the instruments in Baron Ryan's laboratory and began to prepare for the identification of the 'Crystal Skull'.

Without the need to foresee the horizon, Ian could detect that this crystal skull contained a very strong 'spiritual frequency' that seemed to be engraved in it. That's a particular algorithm, a structure of thought.

In other words, it can even be said to be a kind of embodied soul.

"I can't guarantee that the results are accurate, and there may even be only a vague foreshadowing."

Ian turned on the psionic energy and the silver chip, and the silver-cyan light flowed in his eyes, and while he manipulated the manifestation instrument in his hand, he said to Baron Ryan, who was sitting on the side waiting for the result: "It is too precise, although the absolute energy level is not high, but it is really a god-sent treasure, I can identify at most part of its external functions, and the essence, even a master will feel tricky." ”

"Yes, yes."

The young nobleman stared at the crystal skull with blue-gray eyes, and he replied in a calm voice: "Of course I know, I just want to know what it looks like in the eyes of the psyker......"

It is an illusory thing that borders on a dream.

Ian didn't use the silver chip to get the results directly in the first place, he tried his best to identify this ancient mountain treasure according to his true alchemy and knowledge.

- It's amazing.

The Crystal Skull is undoubtedly a physical being, but it is actually much lighter than expected.

It's not really a crystal, but an 'aetheric substance' that resembles elemental crystallization, in other words, its physical texture is likely to be just an energy field.

A powerful prophet.

This is Ian's assessment, although the foresight cannot peek into the reality of the skull, but the psionic energy itself will not ignore it, and the boy senses that there is a plausible power stored in this skull.

If Ian's psionic powers are more about spying on the future, he can predict the direction in which a river will flow, and know how fast and how strong it will flow.

Then, the predecessor of this crystal skull, the powerful prophet, can specify a certain 'moment'.

Whether it was past or future, the prophet knew all the details of the 'moment' that he/she had prophesied.

To use the analogy, let's continue with the example of a hive - Ian knows that the future of the hive is golden; The Book of Huaiguang Prophecy can know that there will be a great calamity here, and the vector of the calamity is the hive; The Prophet represented by the Crystal Skull knew neither the future nor the scourge of the Hive, but he knew itself better than the Hive itself.

Everything that appeared before his eyes was placed in front of him like a frozen chessboard, and he could know the details of everything on this chessboard.

But he would know nothing but this moment.

It was a sympathy between a prophet and a prophet, something that could not be said to Baron Ryan, so Ian took a deep breath and placed his skull in a hanging dish to observe its pure material world influence in a pure essentia environment, and to peek again, to spy on the details behind the etheric skull.

…… This skull is a transmission vessel, or rather, the skull is just a carrier, and the real key is the etheric essentia structure and spiritual structure in the skull.

It allows a psyker, or a psychic person, to briefly borrow part of the power of the deceased prophet to peer into a 'scene' at a particular moment...... Which one is specific varies from person to person, which prophet of the year cannot control, and which future generations cannot control, this is a chaotic algorithm, and Ian cannot come up with the result.

This skull is like a child, not that the prophet was a child, but that it has been passed down for many generations, and the last inheritor was a child.

"Psionic Inheritance ......"

Ian whispered to himself, in a voice just enough for Baron Ryan to hear, which immediately caught the other man's eye, and he continued to evaluate.

Perhaps, the Huaiguang Church's 'Huaiguang Prophecy Book' is such a lineage? Ensure that the power of the prophet will be preserved to guide the way of those who come after him.

It's just more mature and reliable than the treasures of the mountain people.

- Speaking of which, this skull related to the prophet is a treasure inherited by the mountain people...... Isn't that what Anfa is most interested in?

It's a pity he left early...... No, thankfully he was fast.

Ian shook his head slightly, retracting his thoughts that had spread due to his psychic powers.

His mind was already starting to get a little confused, and this was almost the end of it, and the power contained in the crystal skull was more complex and powerful than he had thought.

At his current level, if he were not a fellow prophet, this would already be the limit.

But Ian thought of the blue mist he had seen in Ryan Castle, the child-like 'sublimators'.

If those children are not sublimators, but psionic beings......

Retracting his thoughts again, Ian gathered his attention and began to scan the silver chip.

And so dense words poured out.

【Skull of the Moment】

[Second Energy Level, Aetherization, Cornerstone, Inedible]

[When a great prophet led the people out of the devastation of the wilderness, her own life gradually came to an end, and she was worried that her children and grandchildren would be destroyed by the thousands of terrible natural disasters she saw after losing the guidance of the prophet, so she burned her soul and heart light before she died, condensing into an aether crystal skull, an 'echo' of the entity]

[As long as a life with psionic potential uses psionic energy to communicate with this skull for more than an hour, and tries to resonate its mind with the prophet's 'echo', it can temporarily recreate the prophet's soul with its own soul, and then use the prophet's psionic energy 'moment']

[Warning: The more times you use it, the higher the tendency of echo assimilation, and there is a certain possibility of being assimilated by the prophetic echo, and there is a certain possibility of being assimilated by the prophetic target echo]

[Due to the inheritance of many generations, there is too much attrition, and the ability of the skull has declined]

[Essentia: 2155.9632 Phase Units]

【……】

Wait a minute......

Echo?
