After understanding the relationship between the psyker and the mindhunter, Midi's perception of psychic abilities reached a new level.

It's not just Dacheng, it's the pinnacle realm.

Under this pinnacle level of psychic ability, even the Mind Catcher could not resist Midi's pervasive attack, and the invisible psionic energy, manipulated by Midi's will, was like a sharp sword, unleashing all kinds of unguardable skills, and finally went straight to the depths of the soul.

In a confrontation between psionic and anti-psionic powers, Midi emerged victorious

Finally, at the end of the fifth month, he succeeded in annihilating all the guerrillas and restored security and peace to the settlement once again.

At this point, as a psychics who annihilated the Mind Catchers, Midi's prestige in this Mind Flayer settlement reached its peak.

The Mind Flayer Council unanimously agreed to elevate Midi from Overseer to Archon, and the Council willingly took a back seat, leaving Midi alone in the supreme power of the entire settlement, above the Grand Elder.

Of course, in reality, it is almost impossible for this kind of situation to take the initiative to make Xian, after all, even if it is a mind snatcher, as long as it is an intelligent race, then there will definitely be greed and lust for power. However, in this illusion, Midi has clearly met the conditions to become a "consul", so naturally, no one will object.

So far, in just five months, Midi has gone from a trialist who knows nothing about psionic energy to a supreme ruler of the Mind Flayer Settlement.

Of course, part of this is due to the Mind Flayer Overseer possessed by Midi, who is a powerhouse with a level of 70, and in reality, within a single photo, I am afraid that he can directly bombard Midi with his spiritual ability.

But in addition to the registration advantage brought by this level 70 body, more is Midi's own understanding and hard work.

Strong and firm will, brilliant intellect, made him finally stand at the apex of psionics.

The trial has reached this point, and Midi can feel that he is afraid that he has reached the end of the stage, and there is no stronger enemy in front of him, and he will not have a higher status.

Is that the end of it?

Looking at his octopus head in the mirror, his pupilless white eyes, and the four tentacles that could already be manipulated at will, Midi couldn't help but feel a little unsatisfied.

Although the body of the Mind Flayer is completely different from that of humans, it has psychic abilities, and many things are done in the literal sense of "wishes come true", which is also quite interesting. Midi didn't mind experiencing it for a few more months, taking her psychic ability realm even further from the peak.

After all, if you change to real time, it's only a few days, and it's also a good thing to be able to cultivate in this illusion.

Just as Midi was thinking, the ancient voice suddenly rang out: "Attaining the position of Archon, the first stage of the Central Temple Trial is over, please wait until all the trialists have completed the first stage or are eliminated, and then enter the second stage of the trial." ”

And the second stage of the trial?

A kind of surprise suddenly swelled up in Midi's heart.

And, judging from the hints of this ancient voice, there was someone else in this trial besides himself.

Most likely, the Trialists in those temples on the other eight corners of Octagon Island!

I wonder what happened to Avril Avril and them, did they preempt a temple to enter this trial? Midi couldn't help but think like this, but at this point, even if he wanted to, he couldn't help these three companions, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to wait.

"Who else has completed the first stage besides me?" asked Midi tentatively.

"You're the first to complete the trial, but it's speculated that the Seventh Temple should be able to complete the position of Archon in half a month. The old voice replied, in a level of detail that Midi had not expected.

"Who is the trialist in the Seventh Temple?" Midi continued, but this time, his question hit a nail.

As for the other temples, the ancient voice said there was no comment.

Undeterred, Midi asked, "So, what should I do while I wait?"

"Keep going, there will be no enemies in the waiting phase, and the territory in the Trials Fantasy will continue to expand, so explore and develop as much as possible. After reaching a certain stage, special rewards exclusive to the Central Temple will be awarded. The old voice said in the darkest voice, and then quietly walked away.

Special Rewards for Exploration and Development?

Midi chewed on these two sentences thoughtfully, falling into deep thought.

He vaguely felt that when the trial entered the second stage, it would probably be the beginning of a new war, and the enemy was likely to be other trialists.

Without any hesitation, Midi immediately began to develop.

After five months of stressful and dangerous battles, Midi has a good idea of the resources needed for the Mind Flayer Settlement to grow.

In addition, as the supreme ruler of the Belmar Kingdom and the leader of the Falcon Regiment, Midi naturally knows very well how to develop a settlement.

There are two main types of force in the Mind Flayer Settlement, one is the core, the Heart Flayer Mage, who is good at all kinds of combat magic and has powerful offensive psychic abilities, and is the backbone of the Heart Flayer army.

The other is the army of minions, the poor minions who did not do it of their own free will, but became part of the army because they were brainwashed after being captured by the Mind Flayer. In addition to loyalty, the wisdom, skills, and experience of these minions have been preserved, making them far superior warriors to alchemical golems and undead.

In battle, they mainly play the role of meat shield and cannon fodder.

Although these meat shields have performed well many times under Midi's command, this time, Midi decided to prioritize the development of Mind Flayer Mages.

After all, only an increase in the number of Mind Flayer mages can increase the number of brainwashes and the number of servant armies.

The number of Mind Flayers depends on the size of the Mind Crystal Pool in a settlement, as well as the potential of the parasitic itself.

To this end, Midi has assembled a powerful exploration team to explore frantically in order to find more high-quality materials for building the Mind Crystal Pool. At the same time, he also personally led the attack, using psychic abilities to capture more stragglers on the border.

Eventually, under this two-pronged approach, a new psychic crystal was built and connected to the original one, and in this crystal pool, more and more tadpoles began to swim in it.

Mind tadpoles, this is the mind snatcher in the juvenile form.

After throwing a captive into this psychic crystal, in a matter of seconds, a tadpole burrows into the host's skull and feasts on his brain, entrenched there, fusing with the remaining lower brain stem.

Soon, self-consciousness awakened, and the host's body transformed into the body of the Mind Flayer. When the ritual called Metamorphosis ended, the host was gone, replaced by a new Mind Flayer.

The level of the Mind Flayer's magical powers depends on the strength of the host's body, and the level of psychic abilities is determined by the level of development of the tadpole in the first place.

The stronger the two, the stronger the Mind Flayer will be.

Even, there is a very small probability that when the host body is extremely powerful, there will even be a mutated mind snatcher, with a particularly powerful psychic ability.

As Midi continued to expand, the number of Mind Flayers in this settlement quickly increased from the initial two hundred to three hundred, and the number continued to grow.

At the same time, the increase in the number of Mind Flayer Demons naturally caused the servant army to further expand, from the initial eight hundred, to about fifteen hundred.

These minions are not low-level soldiers, but high-level awakened ones, and the army of fifteen hundred awakened ones, according to Midi's estimates, is afraid that it is enough to sweep away the Delos Empire before the opening of Sky City.

When the number of Mind Flayers increased to a considerable four hundred, the ancient voice suddenly sounded in Midi's mind again: "The settlement has been upgraded to a city, do you want to open the special reward of the Central Temple? This reward can greatly increase the level of force of the city, but at the same time, the consumption will also greatly increase." ”

"On. Midi replied without hesitation.

Resources are meant to be consumed, and I have never heard that saving can win a war. The cost increases, as long as you expand the territory further. As the ruler of a kingdom and a conqueror, Midi is deeply aware of this.

Soon, from the Alchemy Factory of the City of Mind Flayers, a whole new class of troops was born.

Astral Spirit Vault Dweller.

This kind of magical lifeform is the same one that appeared on the Octagon Island before.

These Vault Dwellers are very similar to the men of the Light City Lord in Sky City, except that their shells are not made of magical materials, but are made of the unique "astral rays" in the starry ocean, and then reshaped with psionic energy, which is extremely strong, extremely resistant to magic, and completely immune to psychic abilities.

There is no doubt that if the second phase of the trial is a contest between the Central Temple and the other eight temples, the Star Spirit Vault Dweller, who is immune to psychic abilities, will be Midi's biggest trump card.

Midi immediately stopped building the Psychic Crystal Pool and recruiting the army of minions, and focused on creating the Star Spirit Vault Dweller.

However, even with the amount of power in a city, the production of the Astral Spirit Vault Dweller is still extremely low, and only one can be produced a day.

In the space of a month, Midi had a team of thirty Star Spirit Vault Dwellers.

He named it "The Banishing Squad".

At this time, Midi's Mind Flayer had reached four hundred and fifty, and the servant army under it numbered two thousand.

Next, isn't it time for some military exercises?

Midi secretly calculated in his heart that for a mature commander, when the army reaches a certain number, the next step is to pay more attention to quality rather than quantity, the trinity system of servants, heart snatchers, and star spirit banishes, he is already very satisfied, and the next thing to do is to run in the actual battle.

But before Midi's idea could be realized, the old voice sounded again, this time, not as an explanation, but as a declarative tone.

"Dear trialists, the first stage of the Nine Great Temples of the Eight Corners Island has been completed, and now it is entering the second stage. The goal of this stage is very simple, to eliminate the other trialists! If the Soul Crystal Pool is occupied, it means that you are out! In this trial, you will be ranked according to the length of survival time and rewarded. Now, the second phase of the trial begins. ”

With this voice, Midi's mind was accompanied by a report from the scouts.

"Lord Consul, discover the tunnels to other areas!"
