Chapter 538 The Origin of the Alien Body
"... Come to think of it, you didn't notice one thing, did you?"
After finishing the topic of Riko's mother, Odin looked at Riko's light green eyes and the crystal glasses, "Your eyesight is actually normal. The reason you wear glasses is because it causes headaches if you don't see through the lenses."
Rico took off her glasses, and the things in front of her eyes were not blurry, but the light seemed to be getting brighter and brighter. It seemed that there was a strange liquid, gas and other energy flowing in everything, so much so that her brain could not bear it for a while, and even her steps were a little unsteady.
It wasn't until I put my glasses back on that things returned to normal.
Zhou Qing stepped forward and took a closer look, and discovered that the lenses of Liko's glasses were neither convex lenses nor concave lenses, but flat crystal glasses that had no effect on correcting vision at all.
"What's going on?" Riko had been wearing glasses since she was a child, and her friends of the same age had never laughed at her for it, so she had never taken it seriously.
But now, Odin actually told her the truth.
For a moment, Riko was a little frightened.
"Perhaps this is a sign that you will become a mutant." Odin said calmly.
"Ms. Odin, can you tell me what an alien is?" Zhou Qing knew that Odin might know a lot about aliens, so he wanted to take the opportunity to understand her understanding of aliens.
After all, the state of Wang Sheng Wuhun's possession was very similar to that of an alien body in Odin's words...
The mutant that was born at the Tiandou Auction House, except for being a little shorter, looked similar to the beast spirit possessed...
Zhou Qing guessed that this life form might be related to the martial soul.
"You guys know about the Ascending Curse, right?"
Odin was not stingy. "So-called alienated bodies are creatures that have mutated during the process of human ascension. They may also be alienated by contacting some special things in the lower layer, or by experiencing strange areas and being affected by the special power there."
"Generally speaking, mutants can be divided into two categories."
"The first type is when they lose their human form and become completely like animals or objects, and they look disharmonious, or asymmetrical. Although this type of alien body also possesses special powers, their intelligence is low, and the more asymmetrical their form is, the less human they are, and the less intelligent they are."
"The second type is the one that can maintain a human appearance, similar to the situation where a spirit master from the outside world possesses a spirit. The physical quality is greatly improved, and the person can also retain all the memories and wisdom of being a human, but his habits will be slightly affected."
"However, as long as they are mutants, they are not affected by the ascending curse, just like the species evolved on each layer. It seems that only humans are cursed... Or in other words, humans need to adapt to the environment here."
At this point, Odin said, "Let's talk about the alienated bodies caused by the Ascension Curse. The sixth level of the Ascension Curse will cause a person to lose their humanity, or in other words, they will lose all perception of their body, even their soul, causing the body to mutate during the ascension process."
What this means is that once you reach the sixth level, if you choose to ascend again, you will be 100% alienated.
but--
"How do you maintain your normal form?" Romantina discovered the blind spot. "Or have you never been to the sixth floor?"
"Is this normal for me?"
Odin asked back, "The average height of the Abyssians is about meters. I am over 2 meters tall, so I am taller than most people in the outside world, right?"
After saying that, Odin was not shy at all. He took off his clothes, revealing the oval black scales on his body. Then he pulled down the curly hair on both sides of his head, revealing a pair of crystal-like horns in front of everyone.
Alien body!
"I am very lucky. During the ascension process, I did not lose my wisdom, and my body has maintained a relatively perfect human form. My strength has also been greatly improved." Odin put his clothes back on and said lightly, "According to the strength classification of the outside world, I should be at the Soul Saint stage."
“Let’s put it this way. Anyone who can come up from the sixth floor alive and retain their intelligence will have their body transformed to a certain extent, and their strength will be at least that of a Soul Sage.”
"But once they are affected, most people don't want to leave here... We have been blessed by the abyss, but everything belongs to the abyss, so we naturally cannot leave the abyss. Those mutants that leave the abyss, if they don't come back for a long time, will become violent and bloodthirsty, and even become real beasts that have lost their minds."
The last sentence has a stronger faith tone, but——
Tyrannical and bloodthirsty.
This made Zhou Qing think of creatures like wolf thieves.
Perhaps, the Wolf Thief is really an alien creature in the abyss ruins. He could have retained his intelligence, but because he had been away from here for too long, he gradually lost his sanity and was taken over by the wolf's bloodthirsty instinct.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but think of the alien body that was opened in the gambling area of Tiandou Auction House. He didn't know whether it would return to this abyss, or stay in the outside world and gradually turn into a real beast without any reason...
However, Tang San somewhat understood why Odin continued to say that the key was not strength.
After all, as long as one can come up from the sixth floor alive, his body will be alienated, and as long as he can retain his wisdom, his hard power can at least reach the Soul Saint stage.
Does this still require hard practice?
All you need to do is master the knowledge and skills of exploration.
The only problem is that after gaining power, it seems that you can no longer leave the abyss, otherwise there is a possibility of losing yourself and turning into a beast.
Moreover, most people in the outside world of soul masters may not know this...
As Odin pulled the lever, the platform where Zhou Qing and others were standing slowly descended.
"Teacher, can they come up after they go down?" the blue-haired maid asked in a low voice.
“Whoever goes to the abyss can truly escape the influence of the abyss? Even if they run away, they cannot completely escape it.” Having said that, an unconscious smile appeared on Odin’s pale face.
"The teacher seems very happy?"
The maid was surprised.
"I'm just sighing that there are a group of children in the outside world whose thinking is similar to ours."
Odin's smile gradually calmed down. "I have never been out of the outside world, but over the years, I have learned a thing or two from the words and deeds of the soul masters who came here to adventure. None of them really enjoy the fun of adventure. Most of them are for profit. Therefore, the outside world is more complicated."
The maid blinked her big, watery eyes and asked in confusion, "Aren't they doing this for profit?"
"Yes."
"Why then?"
"For the sake of profit, there is no conflict with the enjoyment of exploration. Most Abyss people are the same..."
