Chapter 10183: Royal Secret Technique?
"That doesn't matter anymore, after all, I'm just a prisoner now. You could have told them what you told me again, after all, I'm not sure of myself now. The fake emperor said helplessly.
Grayskin glanced at Ryuichi and Elsa, a strange light shining in his single eye.
"I can feel that you are unusual, you two, like ordinary worms, don't seem like much. The Grey-skinned True Emperor said.
Long Yi smiled, and suddenly raised his hand, and the collar on the head of the fake emperor fell off the top of his head. And the worms parasitic in the consciousness of the false emperor react extremely quickly. He knew that once he brought them here, he would no longer be of any use. So he was always ready to escape, and when Ryuichi let go of the headband, he immediately wanted to break away from here. Even if it's just parasitic in the consciousness of a soothsayer, as long as he leaves here, he has a way to escape.
But the sheer attraction makes it impossible to move at all!
That's an absolute suppressive force from a powerful kind!
"It's a shame that you're no longer useful. Long Yi said.
This was also the last word the false emperor heard.
The powerful suppressive force of the worm pulled it into Ryuichi's consciousness. And here, what awaits him is not the devouring of worms, but a golden world.
"God Eater! You're a giant! You're Ryuichi!" the worm finally came to his senses, he finally knew how all sorts of unreasonable things could happen! A giant! Everything here has an explanation! It desperately tries to contact the outside world, intending to warn its fellow citizens with its death. Though it wishes to devour its kind, it is in the presence of giants and godeaters. He still chose to warn his kind. But the reason why Ryuichi didn't use the God Eater outside was to prevent it from leaking out the slightest bit of its own information. So he first used the energy of the worm to swallow it into his consciousness. Then use the snake to completely crush it.
Although he has done his best, he is under the comprehensive defense of Ryuichi. All his information was intercepted in Ryuichi's consciousness and wiped out by the snake. His last fluctuations before disappearing showed that he had been devoured by a powerful worm of his kind.
At this time, because the false emperor had been parasitic for too long, his own consciousness had been scattered. Elsa immediately appeared in his place with an alternate consciousness, and although the personality was different, there would be no difference in memory. Before the personality was fully established, Elsa had already skimmed through the emperor's memories.
He was right, there was a scramble for the throne ten years ago, but it was kept secret. The limited number of people who knew about it were either dead or controlled by worms. And this is none other than the Forsaken, the true emperor of that planet, who has a very special ability to resist the parasitism and infection of worms. Elsa said.
"Well, Your Majesty the Emperor, we're getting to the point. Since you're not a worm, there's no need for me to keep beating around the bush. I'm very interested in the secrets you know. I wonder if you're interested in sharing it with me?" said Ryuichi.
"No, not at all. The Emperor shook his head and said.
"Actually, I've always been curious, and it seems that you don't have much ability to protect yourself. Why don't these worms use the torture method to get your secret?" asked Ryuichi.
"Because first of all, torture is useless for me. Because I don't feel pain. Nor will you feel hungry. And we forsaken are very vulnerable, and if I die, won't the secret of the hive be gone forever?" said Grayskin with a smile.
"Sounds very reasonable. Thankfully, there's more to it than that. ”
"Yes. I'd love to see what else you can do against me. "Greyskin wasn't nervous at all.
"That being the case. Let me tell you about your gray skin, which is not a symbol of royalty, but a tiny crystal poison cluster that gathers on the surface of your skin. Most people think that the crystals formed by crystal poison must be brilliant, but they don't know that the small enough clusters will turn gray. And it is precisely because these crystals cover your entire body surface that you are immune to worm infections, which is also a source of confidence. And if you want to break your self-confidence, of course, the way is very simple, as long as it is-"
As he spoke, a crystal slowly grew out of the palm of the dragon's palm. With the resonance of the crystal, the gray began to fade from the emperor's body, turning into something like smoke and dust floating towards the crystal in the dragon's hand. Soon, gray turned white again!
"I don't know if this will make you a little more cooperative?" The crystal in the dragon's hand disappeared, and the emperor was already dead.
"No, it's impossible!, mere worms, how can you master the secret art that has been passed down by the royal family!" the emperor suddenly roared in disbelief.
However, Long Yi laughed.
Because when the crystal poison covering his body disappeared, Long Yi actually felt the fluctuation of the worm again.
"Don't keep performing, your fluctuations are exposed. Long Yi said.
"No wonder there is no pain, it turns out that it is still a worm in the final analysis, as a parasite, where does it come from. Elsa smiled.
At this time, the worm of the gods parasitic in the consciousness of this true emperor was simply frightened. Everything about him is foolproof, it is ingeniously parasitic in the fetus. And on the day the emperor was born, he was baptized by the royal secret art and covered his whole body with crystal poison powder. This cut him off from all worms, and made it impossible for any worms to harm it.
Over the years, I have long been accustomed to living in isolation. At this time, the crystal poison that suddenly covered the body was gone, and it didn't even react in the first place!
Escape?
This thought had just appeared, and a terrifying pressure had already descended!
"Come, let's continue the conversation about the hive peacefully. ”
Without even any resistance, the worm was forcibly pulled into Ryuichi's consciousness. Memories and consciousness are separated, and consciousness is crushed by the God Eater. And the memory is completely displayed in front of Ryuichi.
"This guy has parasitized more lives than most worms I've devoured, from birds to insects. From higher to lower life, its parasitic life is almost enough to write an adventure travelogue. Long Yi said.
"Still. Comparatively speaking, the memory of this so-called emperor is completely blank. It has been parasitic since it was a fetus, causing it to have no memory of its own. Elsa said as she examined the Emperor's body.
Ryuichi continued to check the worm's memory: "Let me take a look...... This worm actually came from the lower plane! Because of various coincidences, he crossed the plane, and because of the rules of the plane, he kept changing hosts. In the middle plane, he was briefly parasitic in the consciousness of the Emperor of the Azure Empire, but he soon left and chose the Emperor of the Hongen Empire. But it didn't take long for him to leave again, because the false god had driven him away. Later, he went to the Ancient Mage...... Wait a minute! Isn't the Ancient Mage Tower in the lower planes? No, no, no, it's not the Ancient Mage Tower, it's just a giant ship. Oh my God, it scared me. ”
In that memory, Ryuichi really saw the Ancient Mage Tower spaceship. However, the details are a little different, and it is clear that this thing should not be the Ancient Mage Tower.
"Something is wrong! There's something wrong with this bastard's memory order!" Ryuichi suddenly noticed, though the memories extracted from the worm's mind were arranged in a very orderly manner. But the timeline of memories is extremely messy. The memory of the worm entering the Ancient Mage Tower did not happen after he was driven away, but thousands of years ago!
Thousands of years ago, the Ancient Mage Tower was actually in the middle plane?
The dragon initially used this memory as a benchmark to reconstruct the worm's shattered memory. This is done through divine powers. Ryuichi's divine power hasn't been used for too long, and now it feels quite comfortable to use it occasionally.
It's fast, under the influence of divine power. The memories are reconstructed. Long Yi read this part of the memory again, and he was dumbfounded.
"Elsa. I think I made a big mistake. Long Yi scratched his head and said.
"What's going on?" Elsa asked hurriedly.
"I let the worm nest slip out from under my own nose. ”
As he spoke, Ryuichi showed that part of the memory to Elsa.
"The hive. In the Ancient Mage Tower?" Elsa couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, if the memory is good, it is here. And, I've been to that location before. Long Yi said.
In his memory, an ever-changing strange orb was slowly rooting itself in the soil, which was the agricultural area of the Ancient Mage's Tower. At this time, there was nothing inside the spaceship at all, only some automata flew out of the surroundings to level the land. In the blink of an eye, the land was completely leveled.
This memory did not come from what the worm had seen with his own eyes, but from one of his parasitic pirates. The pirate once stumbled upon the Ancient Mage's Tower and stumbled upon the hive inside. While every worm knew it was a hive, the pirate didn't.
The worm had been searching for a long, long ship after parasitizing the pirate, but the entire ship had completely disappeared. After a thousand years in the Middle Plane, the Worm made its way to the Upper Plane and has been searching for the ship here until now.
Clearly, he was on the wrong track. The place where the ship went was not the upper plane, but the lower plane.
"Damn, I've been here many times. Why didn't I notice there's something to do with worms here?no, no, no, or what the hell is this thing called a hive?" Whenever he couldn't figure something out, he would start scratching his head. And this time, he scratched his head a little longer.
"Isn't there a description of the hive in the memories of these worms?" Elsa asked.
"The hive is described in their memories as the origin of their worms, and in their opinion, being able to master the hive is to be able to control the fate of all the worms in the entire multiverse. But none of these worms know exactly what is going on. Long Yi said.
Long Yi devoured so many worms, and after cross-comparing his memories, he found that they all knew the existence of the hive, and at the same time knew that the hive was very important, but what the hive was, none of the worms knew.
It's just that knowing the hive is important, because the memory is so short, so Ryuichi didn't even notice it from the memories of those worms.
"No, I have to go to the lower planes. Long Yi said.
"Go, go to the Celestial Clan and find my sister Shiresa, and he will help you open the door to the lower planes. And this time you don't have to go so much trouble if you want to come back, using the Celestial Plane Portal will leave a mark, through which we can let you come back here at any time. Now that the empire is under my control, our plans will continue in an orderly manner. Elsa didn't hesitate and said directly to Ryuichi.
"Be careful, my snake for you is very strong, and if it is in danger, the snake can not only eat worms, it can basically eat anything. Long Yi said.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm not by your side, my IQ and vigilance will return to normal. Elsa joked.
Long Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'll just think you're praising me." ”
Removing the helmet and taking off Elsa's helmet at the same time, Long Yi held Elsa's little face and kissed it gently, then immediately put on the helmet and rushed straight to the periphery.
At the door, the old prophet stopped Long Yi: "Mr. Long Yi, I have a word that I must tell you now." ”
This old prophet is the same person who received Ryuichi in the first place, and this time it was also him.
You say. "It's still somewhat difficult for Long Yi to turn a blind eye to these people who are chattering with gods.
"There was a hive in our prophecies, but the consequences of its being received by you are divided among us. For the first time, this is the first time that our prophetic community has been divided, with some seeing a future of destruction and others seeing a future of peace and prosperity. So, we tend to think that this time the future of the hive is a future that has not been determined. So, we decided to make an exception and tell you everything we saw and let you decide for yourself what you were going to do. ”
Shared prophecy, which is the ability of this group of prophets to allow others to see what they have seen. To put it bluntly, it's like a shared memory, and through this special spell, Ryuichi sees diametrically opposed futures from two different prophets. (To be continued.) )
