Chapter 216: On the Void Ship 1
Thin green threads crawled all over the bones of the body, forming a complex swirl pattern, just like the plasma patterns on the ground, also emitting a glowing green light. Siegel sat quietly on his throne and waited for the "ceremony" to finish. He can now feel the electric field energy around him, which is continuously transmitted to his body through these green tattoos.
These energies continued to strengthen his bones, at least to the level of granite, and would not shatter at the slightest touch. I don't know if I will faint in pain when I change into my real body, this is all a direct portrayal on the bones! Siegel decided not to think about it, knowing that there was no better choice at the moment, so he could only take one step at a time.
The ceremony lasted a full half an hour, perhaps longer or shorterβthere was no timer in the throne room, and Siegel could not grasp the speed of time. The ritual was finally over, the heads on the walls no longer emitting light, and Monroe's phantom spoke again: "Done, you are free to move." β
Siegel stood up, twisted each joint, and found that the bones no longer made the previous "gaba gaba" sound, but became mellow and free. He turned on his vision and found that there was an almost transparent force field on the surface of his bones that supported and protected his body. He quietly felt the electrical energy running through his body through the lines, and tried to gain control.
Just as elemental energy passes through the body when performing magic, electrical energy is constantly reorganizing from chaos to order. Although he still can't understand the "truth" of the lines on his body, Siegel gradually learned to "apply". After meditating for a while, he was able to turn on and off the absorption of electrical energy through his mind, just like lighting and extinguishing an oil lamp.
"If I were you. He hid everything he had. Monroe reminded him, "Except for the sword." I advise you not to bring anything. β
"Won't the sword expose me?"
"Carrying loot is allowed. Monroe explained, "But it's a shame to wear armor. β
"I've seen a Nakuth warrior in metal armor, what's going on?"
"It's just a device that provides him with energy, and it doesn't have more protection than the lines on your body. Unless you're near a Void Ship, or in an environment full of plasma like this one, the lines on your body won't be of much use. β
Thinking of the fact that the skeleton he destroyed and the pattern on his body gradually disappeared, Siegel nodded and sat down again. He tried to control the energy flowing in the god's body by controlling the elements. Let's start by performing the "Electric Claw Technique". The green plasma is different from the lightning power drawn from the air element, appearing more docile but surging. He went through a lot of failures and gradually found the trick to control the strength and the way he cast his spells. Siegel's skeletal palm was shrouded in a green ball of light, and the condensed lightning power was hidden in this light.
"Good, Monroe. Siegel said, "Take advantage of this time and tell me as much as you can what you should be aware of." β
It's not too hard to blend in with Nagus, especially after getting the same skeletal body as them. Because they have all their active consciousness - that is, "juggernaut" - hidden in a safe place, the skeleton warriors who operate outside do not have much intelligence. They don't have the intention to act on their own initiative, just like ordinary undead, but they can change depending on the surrounding situation. Make the best choice. They act like armies, serving a common goal: constant plunder. Pull countless worlds into the void.
As long as attention is paid to the control of the body form, the other Nakuth warriors will never be suspicious. But if you encounter the dominating consciousness coming, it is only a matter of moments to be seen. Although Siegel can hide his body, he can't hide the soul fire that beats in his skull. Unlike other skeleton fragmented soul fires, Siegel's soul fire contains a complete personal mind and is his own "master". As long as you pay attention to the state of the soul fire, it is easy to find him out.
"There will be hundreds of warriors ready to undergo the transformation of the body, and I am responsible for selecting the stronger ones to go to the Temple of Ending to receive the arrival of the Dominant Consciousness. They will be the leader, general, and vanguard officer of the team. Monroe said, "I can't take you back without the Master's orders, and you can't go to the Master, so we have to separate before we go to the Temple of the End, and you can only look for the portal here." β
"I see," Siegel nodded, "and we'll split up when you land." I want you to hide it as much as you can so that you can buy me time. β
"There is actually another way to find the portal from the Void Ship. Monroe said, "You follow the example of the master, hide your soul in the Flame Soul Crystal, and leave your body for further transformation. As soon as I receive the message to return to your world, I will take you back. β
"What if I get wiped out in the Flame Crystal?" Siegel shook his head, "I'm not really a Nays, and I don't want to be an intruder's general or anything like that. β
"But the truth is, your makeover was a success. Monroe said, "I don't know why, but your body has been perfectly modified by the plasma, and there is not the slightest mistake in the process." How does your body work, and why doesn't it get damaged by the plasma and stay stable forever?"
Siegel knew it was the dice's work, and since Monroe didn't know, it shouldn't have seen the dice, just like everyone else. Siegel naturally did not expose the existence of the dice, and he could only vaguely erase the problem. Over the next period of time, Monroe taught Siegel some methods of using force and electric fields, at least to the level of a normal warrior.
Thanks to his mage training, Siegel is quick to learn with manipulating energy. Since there is only one source of energy, Nagus continues to specialize, and this aspect is very profound, and many ideas have greatly broadened Siegel's horizons and ideas. According to Naekos, the world is not made up of four elements, but four fundamental forces, and electricity is one of them. They worked hard to establish a unified theory of the four fundamental forces and to express the other three types of electricity. By the time they were done, Naegus would have enough theoretical support to conquer the entire world.
"It's an interesting approach, and it's a genius to sum it up. Siegel exclaimed: "But for me, it doesn't matter how I see the world. How you treat the world is the key. β
"That's why I chose to help you. Monroe said.
"Because I want to protect my world?" Siegel was a little puzzled, "I think everybody is in the face of Neckus." That's the choice, right?"
Monroe shook his head. "It's not because of that. He didn't explain in detail, but said, "You're almost there, so get ready." β
Siegel stuffed all the clothes on his body into the dimensional bag, and hurriedly hid it inside the skull before it expired, sticking to the inside of the skull. He carried only his sword, like a normal Nakhuth warrior, and carried it behind his back.
"Remember, avoid the Juggernaut. Beware of patrolling beetles, don't look too weird, and be patient in everything. Entering the portal is a very dangerous adventure, and if you don't have a chance, you can wait for me to come back again. As long as you live, as long as you still have trust, there is always hope. β
"If the Lord asked you, would you tell me?" Siegel finally asked.
"Yes, I can't stand up to the Juggernaut. Monroe nodded.
"Thank you for your honesty. Siegel shook his fingers and hesitated, but finally did not touch the hilt of his sword.
Monroe looked at him quietly. Silent. The whole hall began to tremble, and the heads on the walls were constantly swinging. Siegel and Monroe didn't shake in the slightest, their bodies still standing straight. The Hall of the Throne entered the world of beings from the void, and they were about to reach their destination.
Siegel stood at the back of the throne like a sentinel. This is the place that belongs to the Juggernaut Guard, the only unobtrusive place in the entire hall. He thought quietly, sorting out all the information from beginning to end. Then he took out the space bag again and put Stardust inside.
Monroe stood across from him without saying a word, watching his movements, and then his figure began to fade.
"The landing has begun, and the bronze gate will open in a minute. Monroe said calmly, "You will face this barren world alone. β
"An adventure I never planned, full of surprises. Siegel said, "How many of the worlds conquered by Naqus have the opportunity to go behind enemy lines?"
"Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, there have been seven accidents. Someone strayed into the teleportation system and was taken to the Void Ship. The closest one came to success had half of his body stepped into the portal to the physical plane, leaving half of it with the Void Ship - the Juggernaut had discovered him, closed the portal, and severed him in the middle. β
"Hopefully he's a trolls and can slowly regenerate. β
"It's just a normal human being. Without the protection of the gods of the race, humans are the most fragile intelligent creatures, but they are the best material for resentful spirits. Monro said, "The door is about to open, I'm going to hide, you just need to use your soul fire to understand the language." Remember, avoid the Juggernaut!"
A crack opened in the bronze door, revealing a green glow from outside. Monroe's shadow shook and disappeared completely from Siegel, leaving only Siegel standing alone in the entire hall. He stared at the slowly opening door, imagining what the outside world would look like.
The so-called void is indeed nothing, and the dark canopy stretches into infinity, where there will be no stars radiating light, and there will be no magnificent colored gas nebulae, only infinite darkness. To be precise, anything in this world will freeze, rout, and then be destroyed.
The throne hall has the appearance of a skull, and the bronze door is the original tooth on the skull. It came from the remains of the corpse of a giant deity, and was now landing on top of another giant corpse.
From Siegel's point of view, it is impossible to see the full picture of the "Void Ship", and it is impossible to know that it is a huge corpse like a whale, but with thirty-two arms. All he could see was countless green lines spread across the ground, carving intricate patterns into the hard cuticle. A colloidal fluid containing a huge amount of energy moves slowly through the lines, like volcanic lava. But in reality, the speed of the current is so fast that it is impossible to capture it, and all Siegel sees is an afterimage left by the energy fluctuations.
The whole world was shrouded in a shimmer of green, and the light from below made the scenery strange and distorted. There was no shadow of anything on the ground, except for the shadow of the skeleton's skull, and the endless deep void became a projection of everything.
The gate was fully open, and Siegel could see a neat procession of skeletons standing outside. The lines on their bodies are very simple, and the color is close to grayish-white, and they rarely have the same dark green pattern as themselves. They formed a sixteen by sixteen phalanx and quietly stared at Siegel.
No, they're not looking at me, they're looking at the throne in the hall. Siegel calmed himself down. He didn't dare to move a step now, like a skeleton without any thoughts, waiting for things to develop further. (To be continued......)
