Section 5: Assimilation of Life
- I still need to exercise...... Gan, this has nothing to do with physical strength, my state, and Xia share!
Jiang Yu held his cheeks and tried to recover his state - he knew that it didn't take long, he just wanted to take this opportunity to relax and think calmly.
Whether you can't win a battle is not a matter of physical strength or endurance, because the battle time is nothing more than twenty hours. It was a piece of cake for the reincarnation, and he had long since adapted to this length of time - and the reason why he was not able to withstand it was mainly due to the change in the material level, and the change in the level of engagement.
Flesh and blood are only flesh and blood after all, even if the basic attributes are all more than a thousand points, it is stronger than steel, more resilient than titanium alloy, and more malleable than gold. But compared to the serious artifact material, it is still more than a step behind - even if the Holy War Angel is not artifactized, its own strength is enough to withstand the high-energy impact of great power. And he, Mr. Jiang, obviously can't fold armor in this kind of battle!
- Is this considered a weakness?
- Perhaps? But...... Never mind.
Jiang Yu sighed silently. It's not a long time since the agreed meeting time.
He actually didn't have any dissatisfaction, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it's a big deal to find a chance to get back on the field in the future. He sat here alone and thought, mainly recalling what Chu Xuan said before the end of the return journey.
ββ¦β¦ As it is, the dual resonance of life and soul expands the phenomenon through the assimilation of life generated by the effect of 'resonance'. Although it was somewhat unexpected, Jiang Yu, the self-created skill you have comprehended is undoubtedly the most top-level life ability. And there are a few things to be aware of when you use this ability. β
"You can't use this ability on your teammates - because your ability to assimilate life is too domineering. Once the resonance is complete, the other person becomes a part of you on an objective level. Even if you subsequently disassimilate, the effects that have already been had will not go away - the individuals you have assimilated will be infected with some of your traits and will have a heterogeneous desire to pursue you, because when they are infected with some of your traits, they will also have a part of their own existence taken away from you. And life, always longing to return to wholeness. β
"The Lord God Repair may be able to solve this problemβor it may not. In conclusion, I don't recommend you try this. However, you can apply this power to your creation. β
"I'm not talking about creating a man, Miss Xia. Or rather, it's not just Miss Xia. The weaker the self-will, the more intimate it is to you, the easier it is to be effective. And the creation of the main god is undoubtedly the most suitable for you, or the whole team. When you mold them, you can easily resonate with them. And this means that you can use 500 points to create a human to mass-produce the combat power of unlocking the third-order gene lock, and these combat power can also be customized through the main god to customize the growth direction. β
"There's a lack of regular high-level spellcasters on your team, and you can make up for it right away this way. There's a lack of special operators in the team, a lack of mid- and close-range support hands β you can all replenish quickly this way. Of course, if you resonate too much at a time, it is indeed possible that you will have some spiritual problems in yourself. But if it's just a small one or two, I think you might as well give it a try. β
"I've always been short of qualified research assistants."
Chu Xuan's tirade was finally met at the last moment. However, even so, his advice is not without truth.
Life assimilation does have side effects - she shared the third-order genetic lock for Xia, and Xia, who has actual experience in unlocking, does have no obstacles on the way to unlocking the genetic lock - the level that prevents her from opening the second-order genetic lock no longer exists, and if time goes by, maybe she can really follow her own lock-picking experience and unlock the third-order lock independently.
If she can improve, she can improve.
Although the light of the mind is still incomprehensible, if one can reach the fourth order, then from the principle level, the genetic lock of the first stage of the fourth order is still in the realm of this life-sharing ability.
And the price has indeed been revealed - Xia's personality has indeed changed slightly, she has become active, competitive, and has become 'desired'. Become...... It's like having an 'ego'.
Self...... Is this really the price?
Ah, for a fully self-aware human being. This is indeed the price, because the other party's life form is polluted by itself, and on an objective level, it is gradually equated with Jiang Yu himself.
However, for the creators who are extremely self-conscious, and are even classified as 'things' in the classification of the Lord God. After being polluted by Mr. Jiang's ability to assimilate life, wouldn't it have the effect of shaping his own will?
Solid pigments can ruin a finished painting. But if the paint touches a blank sheet of paper, wouldn't it be possible to paint a new painting if you carve it carefully?
Jiang Yu thought about itβthe more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chu Xuan's theory was quite reliable after combining it with his actual experience. So, on this basis, does Chu Xuan's proposal need to be adopted?
- Do you want to shape more human beings?
- By using the existing team benefits, even a 500-point creator can get quite superior upfront conditions. T fusion plus Blackwater, a shared third-order gene lock, plus some previously eliminated weapon items...... This configuration can basically form a considerable combat power immediately, even if the range of gene lock synchronization is limited, if you want to maintain your full combat power, you can't leave me too far, which is definitely better than the vast majority of newcomers who have just entered the world of reincarnation.
- But......
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes - he knew that if he created a man again, he would definitely only create beautiful and loyal women to ensure that the resonance could work properly. And as a ...... who is both physically and mentally in his teenage years The second thorn newt, if you want to say that you don't have expectations for the opening of the harem, you can only say that you are deceiving yourself. However...... When he calmed down and thought about it seriously, he always felt that there was something wrong.
I'm a little sorry for the feeling of Kasumi.
It's a little bit of a little despised for the relationship between himself and Kasumi, and destroys the feeling of good things in his cognition.
Even...... I don't see the yet-born girl as a companion, but just as a tool, or as a consumable inferiority.
- I can do this...... But.
- Forget it.
- After all, I'm already having a hard time dealing with Kasumi...... Moreover, Chu Xuan also said that there is too much resonance, and there is a possibility of spiritual problems. I'm still ...... It's better to improve yourself first.
The decision has been made.
At the moment of making a decision, Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Instead, there is a feeling of regret that comes back after making up your mind.
- Whew! I want to open a harem too! I don't know if I can handle two or even three girls, but it's good to give it a try!
- Let you hold it! You're so thin-skinned! It's all in the world of reincarnation, who do you want to show your innocence to you, bastard!
The slender hand gently climbed up to Jiang Yu's shoulder from behind, and the girl's voice with a slightly hot breath reverberated softly in Jiang Yu's ear.
"Ayu, have you already decided?"
"Well, it's decided." Jiang Yu nodded, and the distracting thoughts lingering in his heart were swept away.
He didn't hide his thoughts from Xia, whether it was the essence of his own strength or Chu Xuan's advice, Xia knew everything.
"I'm sorry, Kasumi. You probably won't have any new sisters. Jiang Yu's palm pressed on the back of Xia's hand. I think having one of you by my side is enough, and if there is one more, I may not be able to stand it. β
"Why are you sorry?" There was no confusion in Kasumi's voice.
"Uh...... Because of the word scheduling? Jiang Yu scratched his head. That's what I said...... But the meaning won't change. β
"Is that so?" The girl behind him, leaning over his back. "So, please change 'probably' to 'temporary'."
"Huh?"
"Situations and scenarios are not static. Since Ayu, you have this ability, then don't completely restrict it. Maybe at some point in the future, it will become the optimal solution at that time. And I don't want to let your future be constrained because of me. β
"Anyway." Her tone was a little heavier, like an oath, like a proclamation. "No matter what the future holds, I will always be there for you."
It wasn't something she had been able to say in the past.
In the past, she would have said, 'As long as you can keep going, then I'm fine.'" β
She's been different.
And she is different, and she also brings a cruel piece of information.
and...... Ayu, have you noticed? Now, it's past the agreed meeting time? β
Jiang Yu's eyes widened.
He jumped to his feet and quickly dressed. He ran towards the door of his personal space.
He did it on purpose - this is a play on the topic.
Because he didn't replace 'probably' with 'temporary'.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Sorry for the delay......" Jiang Yu hurriedly came to the main god square, and the round table of the conference that greeted him was already full - everyone who should have come came, and the whole meeting was just him.
At first, he thought that he might be exposed, that he might be ridiculed by his peers - because his spirit was not perfect, and it was easy for his companions to think that he couldn't get out of bed.
However, he was wrong.
Because when he came out, almost everyone's eyes were on Zheng Zhe.
Including him.
"Zheng Zha? You're ......."
