Chapter 12: Subspace Creatures
Ma, it's uncomfortable, I couldn't sleep last night......
Li Qing's frigate was immediately affected by the interception force field and the interference force field, but it did not affect his retreat.
The purpose of the Intercept Force is only to intercept the target and prevent it from jumping away using the Hyperspace Engine, and the effect of the Interference Field is to lay down the force field to prevent others from jumping into the area, neither of which has a slowing effect.
Only the wound stagnant beam slows down, but it doesn't work on him.
At this time, Xia Qi and the others also came to their senses, and quickly turned around and retreated like him.
Seeing this, Li Yuan, the leader of the Burning Ghost Squadron in the distance, just sneered, ignored it, and concentrated on directing his subordinates to capture this ball of chaos light.
Under the control of the three traction beams, the Chaos Light Ball was firmly fixed in the void and shook violently, as if it felt threatened, and the hideous ghasts inside were biting more intensely, and the naked eye could see that one by one the hideous ghasts were torn apart and devoured.
The number of ghasts is rapidly decreasing, but those who survive are getting stronger and stronger, and even if they are prepared, Li Yuan can feel the stronger and stronger spiritual impact.
But instead of worrying, he looked at the ball of light that gradually turned clear from chaos to clarity with a fanatical face, and muttered to himself:
"Tear it up, devour it, hundreds of thousands of souls affected by the subspace will be fused into one, and psionic lifeforms will be born."
"Buzz!"
Another strong psionic blast exploded, and all the battleships shook violently, and just stopped.
Li Yuan's face changed slightly, and at this time, the eyes of a robot suspended in mid-air behind him flashed red, and a mechanical voice sounded:
"Warning, the battleship has been detected to be affected by psionic impact, and the electronic transmission failure in the stern part of the ship, please prepare for repairs in the logistics director."
"Warning, the intensity of the fourth psionic impact has reached the critical point of psionic storm, and it is expected that the intensity of the next impact will be increased to quasi-psionic storm level, please pay attention to avoid it!"
"Warning, it is predicted that the intensity of the fifth psionic impact will reach the quasi-psionic storm level, and all automatic facilities in the fleet will be temporarily interrupted at that time, with an estimated duration of 60 seconds, please pay attention to avoid it!"
Three warnings in a row made Li Yuan's face change slightly, his eyes flickered, his mind turned quickly, and he quickly made a decision:
"I order, all ships switch to manual combat systems, and activate Overload Mode before the next Psionic Storm arrives."
"Your Excellency, the overload mode can only last for one round at most, and according to the calculation of the psionic impact intensity, the psionic impact strength will officially enter the psionic storm level in the sixth round."
"Enough, do as I command."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"
The robot's electronic eye flashes red.
Li Yuan clenched his hands into fists, looking expressionless and unworried on the surface, but in fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Buzz!"
The fifth round of psionic energy impact swept by, and the huge battleship shook violently, and the surface shield rippled like water waves, and a substantial spatial fluctuation swept under his nose, countless lights in the battleship turned red, and all kinds of warnings were endless.
But after activating the overload mode, the shock resistance of most of the battleship's equipment was greatly strengthened, and the blow was forcibly delivered.
At this time, the captain robot of the cruiser came over again to warn, and he directly stretched out his hand to stop, his eyes were firmly fixed on the ball of light that had already divided the winner and loser, and a smile appeared on his face:
"It's over, there won't be a sixth round of psionic storms."
The ball of light has changed from the previous chaos to the current clear and transparent, and you can clearly see that the countless hideous faces mixed in it have disappeared, leaving only a soul body hanging in the clear ball of light, as if in a deep sleep.
"Psionic lifeforms, after fusion, they can forcibly awaken psionic energy and become psionics!"
Li Yuan recalled that in order to get this, he deliberately built a large base, spent tens of billions of people to move hundreds of thousands of people, and then led the evil things in the subspace to come, and quickly closed the cracks in the subspace after the evil things came with a trace of power.
Hundreds of thousands of human souls were polluted and alienated by the power of evil things, tearing each other apart and devouring each other, and finally the strongest soul devoured all the souls, and the quantitative change caused the qualitative transformation into psionic lifeforms.
It took more than 40 billion star dollars to build a base that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and to move hundreds of thousands of people, and almost all of his net worth was invested in it.
It's finally about to succeed.
Li Yuan was excited, and quickly ordered the towing beam to pull the ball of light over, and he was almost impatient.
The three industrial ships joined forces, and the ball of light quickly approached the cruiser, the cruiser opened an opening, and the ball of light was thrown into it, and Li Yuan, who had been waiting in front of the deck early, took out a prismatic crystal the size of an egg, and as soon as the crystal touched the ball of light, it immediately exuded a powerful attraction, swallowing the light like a dragon absorbing water.
The humanoid soul body in the ball of light also quickly distorted and deformed and threw itself into the prismatic crystal, and it was about to be swallowed.
At this moment, the soul body suddenly opened its eyes violently, and its pupils spewed out bloody flames and roared:
"Don't think!"
The soul exploded, and a violent spiritual energy poured out and rushed towards Li Yuan, but it was blocked by a layer of light armor that appeared on his body, and he said in a cold voice with an expressionless face:
"I knew you wouldn't be willing, I was prepared!"
Another prismatic crystal appeared in his right hand at some point, and he crushed it, and suddenly a light man who couldn't see his face clearly, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the collapsed spiritual energy was firmly bound by a powerful force.
"You can't run, obediently.... This...."
The reunited soul face was no longer the same as it was just now, but another face full of evil feelings and a strange smile, Li Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to do something, but at this moment he didn't feel his existence, and at the same time, the evil face said:
"I've seen countless butchers, but there are very few people who can kill hundreds of thousands of the same kind without changing their faces, I'm very appreciative of you, do it with me!"
Then, Li Yuan could feel his presence again, and his first reaction was to communicate with his robot captain.
However, the evil face shook its head as if it could sense his thoughts:
"You can't do this, even if you are not interested, this seat never reluctantly others."
He looked up in a certain direction, and the corners of his mouth curled:
"Well, let me see, there are two kinders who are more interesting than you."
Li Yuan seemed to sense something, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he shouted:
"I agree, I agree."
"It's late!"
In the next second, the talisman light armor collapsed, and countless red and black streamers drilled into his body, and the light in Li Yuan's eyes quickly dimmed and turned gray, and soon the whole person turned into ashes and collapsed, and a stream of red and black streamers rose from the collapsed dust, and disappeared in a flash.
"You have been devoured by an unknown evil in the subspace, and it takes 50 years of life to reforge your body and soul, and 6 years of your remaining life."
As soon as Li Yuan died, the unknown subspace evil thing disappeared, and Li Qing immediately felt the chaos generated by the burning ghost fleet, and at this time, Xia Qi's voice also came from the channel:
"There seems to be some chaos going on on their side, we ......"
Halfway through the words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and they sent messages to Xia Qi to ask, except for Li Qing.
Because, he was about to send a message to inquire, but before he could act, he saw countless black and red lights converging in front of the bridge, condensing into a humanoid figure who couldn't see clearly, staring at him with interest, and saying something that shocked both him and Xia Qi:
"Human, I can feel the huge psionic potential in you, and now I only need a trace of strength to successfully awaken the psionic energy, but there is a saying in your human civilization, there is no free lunch in the world, you only need to pay some insignificant price now to become a powerful psionic."
Xia Qi didn't speak, but looked at the unknown lifeform that didn't know how to appear in his battleship.
The unknown creature seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said in a seductive voice:
"Maybe I should introduce myself first, I come from the Shroud, in your human terms, it is the psionic realm, we may be evil in the eyes of humans, but we don't think it ourselves, what we like most is to trade, to each according to what he needs, not to take it by force."
"If you know anything about us, you should know that we have never forced you, and it is the same now, if you don't want to, I can leave now."
"But before leaving, I have a small proposal, you yourself may not know, you yourself have a spiritual talent, only one step away from awakening spiritual energy, under normal circumstances, you may have to awaken for decades, or you may not be able to awaken for a lifetime, but as long as you make a small deal with me, pay a trivial price that will definitely not pose a threat to your life, you can immediately awaken spiritual energy and become a powerful spiritual power."
He didn't look in a hurry at all, raised his left wrist as if looking at the time, raised his right hand and stretched out his orchid finger and said:
"You have fifteen seconds to think about it, and if you don't make a decision after fifteen seconds, I will assume that you have given up this opportunity to change your fate."
"Fifteen...."
"Fourteen...."
Compared to Xia Qi's brows, which furrowed for a while, his eyes drifted and his face was hesitant, Li Qing's expression was much more normal, and he even looked curiously at this unknown life form that claimed to be from the psionic realm.
He knew that the psionic realm was simply famous, it was a powerful exotic world located in the subspace opposite of the main material universe, and it was also the place that all psionics were most eager to enter.
There are countless powerful psionic beings living there, the most famous of which are the four Chaos Evil Gods, also known as the Four Peddlers, namely:
Whispers of the Void.
The world is in turmoil.
The instrument of desire.
The weave of life.
But that's just what they used to call them, and they have different names in different times and civilizations.
The god of courage and strength.
The God of knowledge and wisdom.
The god of life and prosperity.
The god of art and beauty.
Of course, this unknown lifeform was definitely not any of the four super-powerful Chaos Evil Gods, because those four beings would never hide their existence, and other psionic realm existences would not dare to impersonate them, so they must not be.
But no matter who it is, as long as it comes out of the spiritual energy realm, it must be a very powerful existence, and what he says is extremely feasible.
If it can help you turn on psionic energy, it will definitely help you turn on psionic energy.
But how to turn it on, and at what cost, it's hard to say.
To be honest, Li Qing was not interested.
It's not that he's not interested in psionic energy, on the contrary, he's very interested in awakened psionic energy.
The three common ascensions in the sea of stars are psionic ascension, gene ascension, and mechanical ascension, the strongest of which is psionic ascension, which is a grade stronger than genetic ascension and mechanical ascension.
But the difficulty of the corresponding spiritual energy ascension is also higher, and it is necessary to awaken the spiritual energy by yourself, which stumps most people.
Once you can successfully awaken your psionic energy, you will be able to gain the power of psionic energy that can interfere with matter, as well as a powerful skill that only psionics can obtain.
With such a big benefit, the reason why he is not interested is mainly because he is afraid that he will not be able to pay the price he needs.
The most common thing that lifeforms in the psionic world love is souls, and the most common price is to take your soul after you die, and if you are greedy, it will allow you to provide more souls.
To put it bluntly, it is to make you go around to make trouble.
Imagine that as long as you sign a contract, you will be asked to kill a group of people every once in a while, and each time you need to kill more than the last time, even if you only kill one at the beginning, slowly accumulate to a certain point, and more and more souls will need to be provided, until you are overwhelmed and cannot afford to provide, and then you will need your own soul to fill.
The elite education from the military lord gate, the teacher has reminded them more than once in the past not to trade with any existence in the subspace, and it is impossible for ordinary players to play them at all.
They are all monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years, and they can never be their opponents.
But....
Li Qing was very interested.
Of course, it's not looking for death, but the induction from the universe in the palm of your hand, and the awakening of spiritual energy is very key to repairing the universe in your palm.
So although he knew that it was very dangerous to make a deal with the creatures of the subspace, considering that it was a dark sense from the universe in his palm, he decided to take a risk.
So he spoke:
"Can you tell me first, what price do I have to pay?"
The joy of the subspace creature could be palpable, and he said:
"It's very simple, within a year after I awaken the psionic energy for you, provide me with 100 souls full of intelligence, no need for clones and cyborgs, humans and other intelligent races can do."
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
The subspace creature clasped his hands and looked at the young man in front of him with confidence.
After a little silence, the hesitation on Xia Qi's face finally ended, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm willing to sign a contract with you!"
"Very well, you will soon learn that this is a very wise decision, and it will allow you to quickly surpass your kind and become the best of the race!"
"So, how do you wake up?"
"Accept my power!"
Two identical subspace creatures stretched out their fingers at the same time, pointing between Li Qing and Xia Qi's foreheads, and suddenly the light was great, and the subspace creatures exploded and turned into a tide of spiritual energy that submerged them, and quickly turned into a ball of light like a tide and kept surging, and the spiritual energy streamer turned into countless incomparably small filaments of light and drilled into their bodies.
