Chapter 373: Pollution
Dolmu's body bulged out one after another with pus, the pustules burst open, and the fine tentacles mixed with the internal organs sprayed out, turning into fly ash as soon as they came into contact with the air.
Dom's body appeared one after another bloody holes, and the wounds continued to expand outward, and Doom's whole person looked like it was being dissolved.
"Impossible!" Doom felt the shattering changes in his body, and his tone was full of incredulity. He could feel his body disappearing, and he could feel it all coming from the cube that Reed had stuffed into him.
It was a weapon designed specifically against psionic life.
Or rather, weapons that can be used to destroy psionic structures. It is a confrontation between pollution and pollution.
Those psionic mechanical beings and psionic elemental summons all collapsed to the ground at this moment, and the scattered power, with the new life force and energy that had been devoured, flowed back into Doom's body, mending his battered body under Doom's control.
His mind was more concentrated than ever before, and it was full of extreme will. This will, in turn, influenced the direction in which he evolved violently again. And the spiritual will and life of those soldiers who were absorbed also brought to Doom their strongest desire before death, that is, the desire for life and the resistance to death.
The self-healing power began to manifest in Doom's body, and the spiritual energy in his body and the energy transmitted from the door were all transformed into the power of self-healing properties, irrigating and repairing his body, expelling the power within his body that came from the same source as his power, but was incompatible.
Dum had changed again at this moment, his body had become even larger, several arms of different lengths hung down on his sides, and several tentacles more than ten meters long, with bewildering mucus and mucus-secreting tentacles all over his body.
The night breeze blew through Doom's distorted body, a strange pheromone that quickly spread to the surrounding area with the volatilization of slime.
Ten meters, 100 meters, kilometers.
The soldiers in the area froze suddenly, then picked up their weapons and ran towards them, attacking them directly.
"Are they crazy!" Susan, who had just recovered and had some respite, had to open her mental shield again to protect herself. The bullets rained down on her shield, sending tiny ripples.
"They're being controlled." Reed looked at the fanatical soldiers, and was troubled by the psionic energy that Doom controlled. He had almost exhausted all the means he had prepared, and as a result, Doom, who had been hit hard, looked like he had evolved again!
Reed doesn't know how to end up now. Even if everything is over now, in the face of a large number of casualties among the soldiers, they who appear here are estimated to have to bear a lot of joint and several responsibility. There is even a high probability of becoming the target of being dumped.
Not to mention that now Dom has not had a restrained attitude at all, but has become even more crazy.
Syllable.
Just when Reed had some headaches about how to end the battle, and when facing those out-of-control soldiers, two black shadows fell from the sky, and a jar of blue liquid was smashed down when it was high in the air, and after the fragmentation and sputtering out, the liquid was quickly dried and spread far away with the wind.
Reed's anxious heart suddenly became agitated, and he instantly sobered up and calmed down a lot. Even Ben, who was still in a rage, his eyes filled with anger appeared a little clear, and his movements slowed down, standing in place in confusion.
The soldiers who rushed over fell in pieces, and then they thought about what they were doing just now with a confused face.
Under the constant mutation, the distortion of Doom's body suddenly slowed down, and his mask showed unpredictable emotions such as struggle, anger, gloom, and mania.
Two humanoids, which also looked like deformities, appeared beside Reed, and under Reed's and Susan's wary gaze, the black monster faces were torn apart by their hands, revealing two faces that made Reed and the others stunned under the broken black silk line.
They were two faces that were very similar, like twins. One looks younger, the other looks more mature.
"Harry?" Reed called out the name of the person who had come. At the same time, his calm mind instantly remembered what Doom had said at the beginning. He's here to find someone in this timeline.
After Reed took charge of Osborne to Harry before, he suddenly came up with a lot of technology, which not only brought Osborne back under his control, but also led Osborne all the way.
Harry Osborne, who had never proven how much he was capable of inventing before, suddenly came up with one technology after another with high frequency that was enough to affect the world and even change the world.
Originally, Reed thought that Harry would be an inventive genius like him, and he was convinced of this after many discussions with Harry about technology. But for now, there is a more plausible answer to all of this.
That is the technology of Osborne Industries, and it is very likely that it came from the hands of another Harry Osborne. This mature Harry may be the real technology provider behind the scenes.
"It's me." Little Harry waved his hand, and he and Big Harry looked at the aberrations who were looking at them at the same time. A flash of surprise flashed in little Harry's eyes: "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Psionic pollution." Big Harry gave a straightforward answer, looking at Doom with a little pleasure and a little pity.
"What is psionic pollution, he calls this change evolution!" Reed and Susan, who were behind the two, heard their words and asked out loud as they recovered the amount of physical strength they had expended in their previous explosion.
"Is he talking about evolution? That's true. That's what the Time Authority's message should say. Psionic energy can allow life to evolve and even change, but this evolution and change must be done carefully.
There is sometimes a thin line between a genius and a madman.
Evolution and aberration, in fact, there is not much difference.
The other party chose the right path, but he failed to resist the erosion and influence of spiritual energy. His consciousness was already dominated and controlled by a certain emotion. But he didn't feel it himself. ”
It was Big Harry who spoke, and he was familiar with the changes that had taken place in Doom. I've seen this scene too much in the Time Authority's video archives. Those civilizations that remain unrestrained after being eroded by psionic energy will eventually come to an end in the process of erosion and pollution.
Eventually, they became one strange life after another, comparable to dimensional life. For example, he integrated into the home planet, connecting his spiritual consciousness with the home planet, so that his own life was equal to that of the planet. It can easily cause natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes in the interior of the planet.
Others have completely abandoned all physical and material bodies and become phantom-like illusory creatures that roam the universe.
As the spiritual aggregate of all life in civilization, they are crazy and chaotic, one moment it may be good, then the next it can be evil.
Another of the biggest things the former and the latter have in common is that they have a strong sense of hunger and thirst, and an unusually greedy for intelligent species and energy. They will wander around the universe, hunting life planets and civilizations.
Erosion, pollution, assimilation, and then growth.
The Time Authority even collects and imprisons several ghosts of this civilization that are heavily polluted by psionic energy, and if they are lucky enough, they may be excluded from the universe over time and become a small dimensional world.
This is indeed an evolutionary path.
But in the eyes of Harry and others in the Temporal Authority, this was the wrong evolutionary path. Their time management technique was originally a castrated version of Hyperion, a weapon used to trade or raid with other universes.
"It's a trap! Is it? Doom's voice rang out. He is no longer crazy and arrogant at the moment, and although his body is still in a deviant state, he is trying to restore his human form.
"What trap?" Big Harry frowned.
"All of them, including my knowledge of the Time Authority, how to get in, what is there, how to escape your lockdown, etc. Was it all arranged? Doom's voice was calm with a kind of weariness.
"Are you back to normal?" Reed subconsciously looked at Doom and asked.
"I just suppressed some emotion and resumed my calm thinking. The technology of psionic energy is indeed incomplete, or rather imperfect. Doom's gaze shifted from Reed to Big Harry, who wanted to get some definite answer.
"The technology of psionic energy is of course perfect, but it belongs to the energy bank, as well as Hebleen! The technology of the Time Authority is missing a lot of important processes. These may not matter to some dimensional demon gods, but for ordinary people like us, it is [life-saving poison]. Big Harry replied.
"I don't know where you came from to know about the Time Authority, and there is information and maps for the Time Authority. But by the time you attacked the Time Authority, you had no way back. The director of the Time Authority, my immediate boss, doesn't have a big heart. ”
"Is the force that brought me to the bottom of my arrogance and conceit and calmed me down the missing part of the process?" Doom was in a state of wantlessness at the moment. He knew it wasn't right, but he didn't hate it right now. At least give his mind a moment of peace.
"It's just a restraint between psionic powers." Under the unbelievable gaze of Harry Jr., Harry was patiently answering for Doom. "I don't have much to extract, and I don't have enough purity, let alone condensation into crystals. It is also filled with other psionic impurities. It doesn't last long and volatilizes quickly in open areas. ”
"So I'm going to be back to my previous state of arrogance soon?" Doom wanted to have other emotions, but now all emotions were suppressed by an inert sobriety.
"In fact, it's amazing that you can maintain your own consciousness in this form. In the record, this form of psionic polluter has become a mere dominant, like a foraging beast. Big Harry said. He didn't expect Doom to come this far, and he really dared to take this step.
Absorb and use unfiltered psionic energy, even the mages of Kama Taj are mostly unable to do it, and they cannot completely eliminate its effects and dangers. This is evident from the fact that Kama Taj is now showing signs of splitting into multiple schools of psionic magic. The current Supreme Mage, Stephen Strange, has completely accepted this change, just like all mages.
In the distant future, perhaps the mages of Kama Taj will also part ways because of their factions. But as long as the Ancient One, who has already stepped into the ranks of the Ancient Gods with only one foot in the door, is still there, then the mages of the Kama Taj are divided or not, it is nothing, anyway, they are all from the same source, and they all rely on Luke and the Ancient One to eat.
As for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the energy they use is filtered psionic energy. The damage is minimized. As long as it is not used at a high frequency for a short period of time and with high intensity, it can generally be restored to normal with some psychological counseling and combing, and get rid of those minor influences.
Judging from the fact that the other party can maintain his spiritual consciousness and thinking ability even to this point after being polluted, the will and soul of the other party are tough and excellent. This will keep them in the air longer. And judging from the fact that the other party is still trying to shrink the distorted limbs and gradually return to their human form, the other party's talent in occult and magic is also excellent.
At least the other side is very strong in its ability to resist pollution. This is not directly affected when faced with dimensional forces with polluting powers, and then controlled as a puppet if prepared.
Unfortunately, the other party's level of pollution is already very deep, and without the help of Heblen or Kama Taj Mage, the possibility of the other party wanting to fight this level of madness and pollution on their own is infinitely low. This is still based on the fact that the other party's psionic energy will not increase.
And as time goes by, the other party will accumulate more and more spiritual energy, and the only way that the polluted person can use is to constantly use a certain emotion as the pillar of maintaining his own thinking will, the dominator, but this is only a symptom but not a cure, and it will only make people more and more extreme and extreme under the domination of this emotion. Finally enter the next stage of self-destruction fire and self-rescue.
If he could, Big Harry didn't want to go up against Doom, and he didn't even want Doom to have a problem here. In the current form of the other party, once it gets out of control, it will be a disaster for civilization. He didn't want to be buried with the world.
So if possible, he might have to find a way to help Doom maintain the deteriorating pollution before he could go back.
