Chapter 442: Madman
"But he has no future." Strange sighed softly. The essence of the power of this universe is this, what is gained, there is bound to be loss.
In Strange's view, the way Longlom wielded this power was just another modified version of the borrowing magic. At best, it has been replaced by Kama Taj's lending system with some kind of grafting system with unknown technology. But in any case, there is a need to repay the loan after all.
This repayment date may be delayed as technology advances, but it will always exist. Like a sword of Damocles hanging in the sky. Even their situation is even more dangerous than that of the mages of Kama Taj.
At least as long as the mages of Kama Taj don't mess around, don't learn some forbidden spells indiscriminately, and come into contact with some terrifying magical entities and dimensional powers, then before their lives are gone, they will easily not be in danger of falling and eroding.
But Longlom relies on technology grafting, safety and stability are all in the hands of the technology provider. If there is the slightest mistake or loophole in it, then the soul will be neatly harvested by the source of power.
"That's not true." Ronlom heard Strange and retorted with some disapproval. "What does Master Strange think has a future?"
Strange was stunned for a moment, not immediately replying, for he could see that Lonlom did not mean to give him an answer at the moment.
"I am an agent, a spy, a warrior. My life is in danger most of the time, and for me, lack of strength is the real lack of future.
The world is changing so fast, so fast that even I feel dazzled by the fact that I am in it. I used to be able to accomplish mission after mission with guns and ammunition and S.H.I.E.L.D. technology. But now, if I still use those old-fashioned combat methods and technological strength, then the next task is my death, and I will become a guy who is not even cannon fodder. I may even have to retire to become a police officer, but that doesn't guarantee my safety. ”
"For a man like me, who is precarious, I am born a power seeker!" I can't stand those ordinary and ordinary lives, and I don't want to leave the battlefield that makes me longing and exciting. So I need to strengthen myself.
Heberen's technology can augment us so that we don't become cannon fodder when we face enemies who are oversized by the other side. No one understands the dangers of technological experimentation better than I do, but I'm willing to take that risk. As for the future? I guess it's not as bleak and miserable as you think. As long as I don't die in a certain mission, the change of technology at Hyperion is my future guarantee. ”
"Even if it's your soul and everything?" Strange asked.
"Of course. This kind of grafting surgery, which even Heblen does not guarantee a 100% success rate, is a big gamble in itself. But its technology is always advancing, isn't it? If you know a man named Bronsky, codenamed Abomination, you may understand that I am already restrained. He's the real madness! A true power chaser too! I'm not sure how much humanity his soul still has now. He even needed psionic liquid now to stabilize his mood and personality, as well as to nourish his tattered soul that had been sewn up, so that he could hold on without breaking down and getting depressed.
A veteran who is at least 100 years old, haunts various battlefields, in addition to satisfying his own war fetish, what comes with it is to earn meritorious deeds, and then throw everything he has obtained to Hebleen without reservation, in exchange for the next round of transformation. That's a madman! A character that even our Hydra, which is rich in madmen, marvels. Rumlom said the back, and his tone couldn't help but be filled with exclamation.
That Bronski has become a conspicuous figure in organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D., Hyperion, the Temporal Authority, and Kama Taj, and has received great attention and focused monitoring.
For example, he? After careful consideration of the situation, he only dared to accept one life force, and he still did the test, and chose the one that matched him better. Of course, this is probably only about 20 percent. The weakness of the human soul has such a high rate, which can only be achieved by him after many targeted adjustments and subtle transformations in advance.
After the successful operation, he gained immense strength, but at the same time, his soul was like a mountain on his back, and every time he used this powerful power, he would experience extreme exhaustion. Only a specially concocted psionic liquid could alleviate this exhaustion and make him relatively relaxed.
However, this power did make his strength grow by leaps and bounds, after all, the power of the Eye Demon was high enough for him to deal with most crises and troubles. But its strength has also made Longlom walk on thin ice to this day, and he does not dare to carry out deeper transformations. He had done his best to keep his soul stable.
But Bronsky is different, his body and soul are already like rag dolls, sewn with multiple forces in his body. Although most of these forces have been weakened and adjusted for the sake of balance and stability, this still cannot be concealed, and he is becoming more and more like an inhuman evolution.
Mechanical viruses, super potions, Hulk serum, angry hearts, dimensional organs and limbs.
Every time he returns from a mission, Abomination needs to do a full body check-up to prevent him from losing his mind and running out of control. Just maintaining the stability of his state and the balance of his strength is a delicate and difficult task. Compared to this one, Longlom felt that the transformation he had received was already a small thing, and it was not worth mentioning.
"Mage Strange just doesn't know you a little. I believe that when he comes and goes back and forth more and is exposed to more information, he will understand your psychology. The Mage King turned back to the portal and interjected to the two people who were communicating.
"It's a bit of a novelty for me." Strange blinked, paused and replied. He could see that Rumlom did not reject this kind of transformation, and seemed to accept it voluntarily, but he still had some doubts about this technology of artificial dimensional life. Because only when you understand those dimensional beings can you know how difficult they are and how troublesome they are! Even a mage with profound mana, at a certain moment, will be caught by the loophole in his soul and degenerate. (End of chapter)
