Chapter 577: Fear Aura (1/3)

Director Hornagal basically gave Ian everything he knew.

Whether it's their plans, or the reasons for the possible change, or even who 'that guy' really is...... He also said it all.

Ian was originally strange, he didn't torture the other party yet, how could a second-level person, a good director of the Gnosis Academy, be as well-behaved as a dog?

No, dogs are inferior to ...... At the very least, the dog has to toss around.

But soon, he sensed the reason.

- Because he killed the Nightmare Breeder, part of the other party's power was wrapped around him.

As the one who defeated the Nightmare Entity, Ian will also have the ability to breed some nightmares in this subspace labyrinth.

And this ability now seems to be a fear aura that makes people dare not refuse his request, even if it is a very outrageous request, and will only obey in a daze.

Of course, there are also reasons why this director is essentially a coward, and the two complement each other.

This is actually a very common thing.

The subspace labyrinth is not a mysterious place in Terra.

Although only the powerhouses of the third level can infiltrate the Void Realm on their own with the aetheric Mind Light Body that is about to be etherized, the Ascendants of the lower energy level can also rely on various rituals and secret methods, and even enter specific special areas to indirectly enter the Void Realm.

However, the Void Realm was not stable, and after the Heavenly Fall Disaster, many parts of it, especially the area related to the Void Realm facilities of the pre-era civilization, collapsed into a labyrinth, that is, a subspace labyrinth.

In these labyrinths, there are a large number of strange creatures, such as the common ghosts, the crows of the Void, the messengers of the Netherworld, and all kinds of Shroud Gods.

Most of the gains in the subspace can't bring out the maze itself, it can only be regarded as a regional buff, and the same is true for Ian's fear aura.

Knowledge, information, and even all kinds of technology are the main things in the subspace labyrinth.

But this is not absolute.

In the City of Knowledge, there was a scholar who fought to destroy a Void Realm Machine God after killing a Void Realm Machine God, and forcibly stayed in the Void Realm for eleven years, feeling the power of the Void God left on his body day and night, and finally succeeded in creating the inheritance of the Void Realm Machine God and sending it out of the subspace.

He is the fifteenth generation of the Great Mentor of the Shadow Spire lineage, Rig Shadow, one of the few creators of Terra's psionic inheritance 'Void Divine Guard'.

In addition, there are also many psionic creations that can only be crafted in specific areas of the Shroud or in subspaces with special attributes...... At least according to Isengard, some families' aether armaments must be forged in this way.

If Ian had the heart, he could have spent a few more years in the subspace labyrinth, analyzing some of the power left over from the nightmare and making it into a psionic skill...... But apparently, he didn't have that time.

Reg had an entire organization of scholars to help him with other matters to forcibly stay in the Void for such a long time, and after creating the lineage, he also died of soul exhaustion—a true way of death, so it was awe-inspiring.

It's not the same as the group of people who use others to do experiments.

But now, he just needs to think about how he should use this power.

Of course, before that, Ian still had to analyze the information that Director Honagar had told him.

- The Gnostic Academy and Grand Duke Thorin are indeed cooperating with the Flying Flame Lands.

But they all have their own research plans, but they usually share some innocuous information, and all of them are interested in using other people's technology to achieve the goals of their own plans, and even have evil intentions in their hearts, wanting to achieve their own goals while disrupting other people's good deeds.

The Flamelands have the ultimate plan for the fusion of psionic energy and biotechnology, 'The River of Death'.

The Grand Duke's final plan for the Spectral Realm technology 'The Former Dead Monarch'.

and Gnostic's psionic awakening program, the Unknown Savior.

These are the three most core and confidential projects in the AVAK Central Laboratory.

For example, the Azure City Laboratory was just giving a hand to the central laboratory, dealing with some irrelevant side technologies that the central laboratory did not have time to deal with.

In addition, there are additional plans like 'Nightmare Demon King'. The Gnostic Academy's research on the Void Breed is actually quite a coincidence, they simply want to find the 'fear archetype of intelligent life', but they accidentally extract the existence of that super-body giant beast from the instinctive memory of something extraterrestrial.

Therefore, you can't do this kind of research casually in Terra, and it's a shame that they didn't succeed, otherwise, the real void will come out, and everyone will be wiped out.

Overall, the level of research in the Avak laboratory is not inferior to that of the psionic towers in the City of Knowledge, especially in the field of psionic experiments, and any one of them has the potential to change the pattern of the current era.

Mikael is right, Grand Duke Thorin definitely has the relevant heritage of Inaga II.

However, due to the destruction of a new researcher, all the souls of the subjects imprisoned in the Avak lab were released.

Originally, there weren't many souls...... The soul is a luxury in the Terra continent, generally speaking, only the middle and high levels of the second energy level can condense it, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to become ghosts when they die, unless he has psionic potential, and the place where he died is also slightly related to the Void.

But who called the Grand Duke one of his many experimental plans, one of which was an 'artificial soul'?

With the help of the Possessed Brain, most of the test subjects condensed the simplest and inferior souls, and the Possessed Brain also recorded all the information feedback that these subjects encountered before they died...... The data recorded in the appendage brain was also an extremely important source of information in the Avak lab, and it was impossible for them to use it.

So, basically, all the test subjects who died in Avak's lab left their own souls.

Originally, they were regarded as raw materials for the Phantom Army, so they were properly preserved in a few prison spirit enchantments to sleep, so naturally they would not cause much damage.

However, the new researcher unleashed all the resentful spirits, and the incredible number of souls combined with resentment caused the realm to change dramatically in an instant, creating an abyss of silence.

And the researcher who unleashed the resentful spirit, for some unknown reasons, actually obtained the power of the Grand Duke's final plan, 'Dead King'.

After that, he breached the shelter of the Flamelands, and perhaps gained the power of the 'River of Death'.

This is also the reason why the King of Tianhong will arrive in the first place - the researcher of the Flying Flame Land was eliminated by the Dead King too early, and if he doesn't come in person, the Flying Flame Land will not be able to get a piece of the pie.

"The Dead King will absorb all the souls he kills and draw power from them...... Then again, the song I heard at the beginning in front of the entrance to the subspace seemed to be descriptive? ”

Ian stood on the corpse of Director Honagar, looked up thoughtfully, looked at the various images on the screen, and thought, "Dead River, Dead King—yes, before I entered the subspace, those apparitions were also alerting me that there is a Savior...... Wait, are all of these guys' experiments successful?! ”

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the corpses of the Gnostic Institute behind him, he was a little surprised: "Although you are all inferior to beasts, you have really produced some results. ”

All in all, that's pretty much it.

The deliberate actions of a rookie researcher - it is currently unknown which side he is an undercover agent - freed all the souls of the seals of Avak Central Laboratory, causing the place to be subspatialized.

At the same time, the Dead King, let's just call him that.

The Dead One jumped directly from the first level to the third level, and destroyed the Flamelands' shelter in the subspace...... He suffered a heavy blow there, and there was no way to eradicate the refuge on the side of the Grand Duke and the Gnosis in a short period of time, which also gave these two sides the opportunity to control the phantoms and monsters to fight back and solidify the defenses.

At the same time, all forces from the outside world have also come to the Avak Territory, which makes the Dead Lord have to send many powerful phantoms and monsters under his command to fight those squads, delaying their entry into the subspace labyrinth.

This is true of Theo's apparition and the giant tortoise that carries the mountain.

And now, according to Director Hornagal's calculations before his death, the Dead Lord has obtained a part of the power of the Dead River Project, and is now digesting it......

And when he finishes digesting it, he will regain his peak power.

Even...... Probably go one step further!

But whether it is the peak of the third energy level or the fourth energy level, he can't figure it out.
