Chapter 58 Soul Sharing
"The process of rejection will be painful, master. The message after the instruction was directed at me, and it caused me great pain. The brood's voice trembled as she replied, as if she was already enduring an irresistible pain.
It added, "If the Reapers' orders are found to be ineffective, they should continue to increase in intensity, and there will always be times when I can't resist." ”
"What then?" asked Richard with a frown.
If there is no solution for the brood, then he will have to take the risk of assaulting the reaper's mothership. This is not all for the sake of the brood, but also for the hundreds of millions of people that Faro cannot withdraw, as well as the people and gods who follow him, such as the three goddesses.
The brood is difficult to answer, and of course there is no way to deal with the command of the control in its soul memory. You have to figure it out on your own.
Richard frowned and said, "Send me all the information you know about the control instructions, and I'll analyze it!"
Moments later, a huge amount of information was sent to Richard from the brood.
Just then, the Reaper sent another message, and the Guò Flying Beast reached both Richard and the brood. In the turbulent land, the brood suddenly let out a strange howl like the roar of the wind, and its huge belly rose high and fell again, directly shooting a deep pit in the ground. Insect nests within hundreds of meters of the vicinity were shaken and tilted.
It can be seen that the brood is in extreme pain, and she keeps digging the ground with her sharp arthropods. And from the vent hole in the abdomen, a large amount of acid mist also emerged.
The brood let out a short, high-pitched howl, and the surrounding hive forest began to wiggle, constantly releasing a thick mist that formed a barrier that covered the entire hive. But this is useless at all, because the mother nest is through guò reconnaissance flying beasts to receive that information, this is the soul link, unless the flying beast self-destructs, otherwise the mother nest will continue to receive control instructions.
The soul completion plan only gives the brood the ability to think independently, but there is also a coercive message attached to the command that can cause great pain.
This kind of information brood has no ability to resist, and can only find a way to block it. However, in order to completely shield it, the Brood has to give up command of its combat units, otherwise it can also be sent to the Brood through the guò soul link.
Richard is also aware of the danger, and now is not the time to delve into the brood and the reaper, and the relationship between Eternity and the Dragon of Time. The top priority is to find a way to hold the brood stable, otherwise, once it is controlled by the harvesters, it will be completely finished.
"Blow the beast up immediately!" Richard ordered flatly.
However, the flying beast did not explode as Richard had expected, but continued to observe the movements of the Reaper base and kept sending back images.
The voice of the brood was coming intermittently: "Master, I want a free soul. So I'll stick to it. Do not worry. ”
This is one of the few times that the brood explicitly refuses Richard's order. But Richard also knew how much it would cost. The most unbearable is the torture of the soul, and the pain caused by the reaper's command can be said to be more than one can imagine in the world.
Richard was already a little overwhelmed at the moment, he didn't know how long the brood would last, and he didn't know what action to take. This crisis is perhaps the biggest crisis he has ever faced!
At this moment, Faceless appeared behind Richard at some point. She slapped Richard the shoulder and said, "What do you want?"
Richard was taken aback, saw that it was faceless, and immediately told the crisis of the brood without thinking.
Faceless thought for a moment and said to Richard, "If you still have a soul connection with the brood, then you can choose to share the damage, and you can also share the pain. ”
"Didn't you say it earlier!" Richard was surprised and delighted, and immediately chose to share the soul pain with the brood.
Faceless yells "Wait!", but Richard has already made his choice, so fast that the brood has no time to refuse.
As soon as the soul link to share the pain was established, Richard's face suddenly completely lost blood, and with a few clicks, a molars were crushed on the spot. He snorted and threw his head to the ground, his hands shaking unconsciously.
Even though Richard had endured a lot of pain, he never thought it would be so painful! It was only half of the pain shared from the brood, and he woke up several times in an instant.
It took a while for Richard to get used to the pain, but he was completely incapacitated, and his entire will had to be used against the pain to ensure that he would not pass out again.
He vaguely saw Faceless lying beside him, as if he was talking something, but Richard could only hear her voice, but he couldn't understand the meaning at all.
Richard struggled with the pain, and finally slowly adapted. But the deep feeling of forging the soul in a furnace and then dipping it in ice water gave Richard a long feeling that hundreds of years had passed.
At this moment, the pain that Richard had borne suddenly lightened, and it was actually reduced by half in an instant.
After a while, Richard, who was gradually regaining consciousness, realized that there was another channel in his soul, and that pain was shunted out and passed on to another person. At the other end of the channel, there is a splash.
At this moment, the girl was hiding in the corner of the room, her whole body was trembling, and the corners of her mouth began to ooze blood.
Li noticed that the amount of pain shared by the splash was too large, and immediately intercepted most of it, keeping it at a level where he could barely have a clear will.
But another soul link was built, and once again the pain was taken in half. This time, the soul link was exceptionally thick, and if you looked closely, it was actually composed of two parallel soul channels.
This is the soul link of the Ogre High Lord, and although he has taken away half of all the pain, the Ogre seems to be quite relaxed, except that his body temperature begins to rise sharply, and his energy is rapidly consumed.
The reaction was ostensibly that tiramisu was hungry again, so he frantically searched the camp for food. There is no shortage of food now, and the military rations originally prepared for the 100,000 army are now only consumed by a few thousand people. The extra part was enough to kill tiramisu for a few rounds.
Ogres have a simple temperament, and the more they do this, the stronger their willpower becomes. And it has two souls, which can be shared by each, and finally there is a strong life force, which makes the ogre's ability to withstand pain exponentially increased. Even better than Richard in this regard.
With the ogre joining, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.
But then a few soul links were built, except for the elven poet Oral, the rest were Iron Shield and Keane, two new legendary powerhouses, and the legendary killer who had been at odds with Iron Shield after a while also joined. To Richard's surprise, there was an extraordinarily small soul passage from Romney.
Orar is the oldest follower, and although his talent is limited, his ability to break through the Sanctuary has reached its limit. But soul power has been growing steadily. He was already familiar with the soul link with Richard. Except for him, the rest of the Sanctuary wanted to share the soul attack that Richard couldn't afford, and that was completely looking for death.
Therefore, Romney's moth-like behavior made Richard moved, but also a little crying and laughing. But in order to make the weak killer clear about the consequences of his actions, Richard still gave him a little pain. This pain was sent over, and Romner suddenly screamed and fainted on the spot.
With many followers to share, Richard suddenly felt a lot easier. Now the pain he bears will not affect his actions at all, but can be used as a whetstone to sharpen the strength of his soul.
The brood has also been steadily down, and it has gotten the upper limit of what it can afford to suffer. The excess will be fed to Richard. It was then up to Richard to decide whether to take some more.
A network of souls is created, and the people in the network share each other's pain. Soon, Iron Shield and the legendary killer shouted at the same time, "This kind of pain can actually increase the strength of the soul!"
They then discovered each other's existences, and they snorted at the same time, and fell silent at the same time.
For example, splashes, tiramisu, etc., have long discovered this characteristic, so one is suffering in silence, and the other is desperately eating.
The three legendary powerhouses who joined later also began to use the opportunity to fight against pain to refine their souls. Even Orar was able to reap the benefits of it constantly, and only a poor Sanctuary killer could only miss this opportunity in a coma.
Richard let out a sigh of relief, finally alleviating the crisis in front of him.
But this was not a long-term solution, and Richard had already anticipated that the reapers' lack of response would inevitably increase the process of suffering, and it was even possible that they had planted some kind of self-destruct program in the brood. As soon as it is discovered that the nest cannot be controlled, this self-destruct program will be activated. This kind of procedure is deeply rooted in the soul, and even if the brood is unscathed, the soul will be erased.
"What should I do now?" Richard asked Faceless. It was truly a situation he had never encountered before.
"While there's still some time, hurry up and make sacrifices. See what the old dragon will say, the brood was given to you by him. Maybe he'll have a solution there. Bring all the Ember Essence with you! The solution to this problem involves the Reaper's core secret. According to the character of the old dragon, since he can give you twice as much divine grace when he sacrifices, he will definitely ask for three times or five times the divine favor when answering related questions. Go ahead, I'm here, don't worry about it for now. ”
Richard nodded, carrying a box full of ember essence on his back, and prepared to return to Norland to sacrifice.
Before leaving, Richard asked Faceless again, "Do I need to leave you some sacrifices?"
Faceless refused again, but this time she gave the reason: "I went from level 21 to level 25, and each level required a second-order sacrifice, and above level 25, each level required a first-order sacrifice. There's no need for this at all, and you can't afford my promotion right now. ”
