It was something like a cabbage, and it had been hiding in the darkness until the light came out and its huge outline could be vaguely seen.
Is that Mithros?
Is the sun wrapped in... that?
Xia Yibing didn't understand what this meant and could only listen to the Blood Crystal Crow's constant sighs and analysis.
"This is their only means of survival, oh... maybe it's also their protection..."
"This will generate a lot of radiation..."
"I know where that deformity came from."
Chapter 21: The Great Gaze (Two in One)
"That's our homeland, Mithros!"
Everyone was cheering for that thing, and Lanny was no exception. However, she actually remembered that "Xia Lan"'s memory had not been integrated well, so she took the initiative to suppress her emotions and came to her to introduce it to her.
"'Blooming' means that Mithros will launch regular attacks on our enemies. See that golden stamen? The Divine Light Council will soon be able to manipulate it to emit divine light!"
Xia Yibing was already used to hearing new terms from other people from time to time, so she asked bluntly, "What is the Divine Light Council?"
"They are the only ones who have the power to manipulate Lana to do certain things." Lanny replied, "No one knows how many of them there are... There has always been a legend in the army that if any soldier can change his final outcome, he will have the opportunity to enter that place!"
lie.
Xia Yibing was not moved at all. In her opinion, the so-called "Yalai people" were just a group of biological weapons without human rights. As a biological weapon, the best way for you to interpret your own value is to die when you are supposed to die.
If it is true as Lanny said, that you resisted the influence of "expansion" and did not die at the time of death, then it means that your weapon is out of control, and an out-of-control weapon... at least Xia Yibing would not keep a pistol that tends to go off from time to time.
While thinking about all this in her mind, she stared closely at the magnificent sight in the deep sky, especially at the thickness of the "cabbage". She wondered if this was Mithros, wouldn't the people living there be baked to death by the sun?
Yusilian said it was an old sun, and she could tell with her naked eyes because after the initial golden light, it was obvious that the remaining light was only "red", and she could directly see the red-orange core hidden inside the pistil.
A normal, young sun should be golden. This sun didn't even give her a dazzling or blinding feeling after it actually appeared. She guessed that the temperature of this thing should be quite different from that of a golden sun.
"I heard from Harwin that although the temperature of the red sun is lower than that of the normal sun, the radiation it emits can reach more than a million times that of the normal sun." The Blood Crystal Crow was still sighing, "They are equivalent to living on a pollution source! It would be strange if their bodies are not deformed!"
"What does this radiation mean?" Xia Yibing was not a professional. She was a little curious after hearing Blood Crystal Crow mention this word several times.
"You can think of it as a kind of pollution." Crow explained, "Generally, some radioactive substances are emitted through radiation sources, and then these substances are irradiated and contacted with your body, and your body is distorted under this influence."
"Isn't that pollution?" Xia Yibing's eyes widened when she heard it. How could this statement be so similar to how a normal person would be distorted by being contaminated by dirty things?
It turns out that pollution can be explained this way. It is much easier to understand than mysticism or animism.
"It's not pollution...!" Blood Crystal Crow exploded immediately. One of them is physics and the other is mysticism. How can they be the same? The types of energy they act on are different!
She was just planning to give Xia Yibing a good science lesson, when she suddenly realized that she was just a drop of blood of the original body, and the knowledge she possessed in this area was limited to this extent, which was far from enough to support her in completing the explanation and description of the difference between the two.
"Okay." She regained her composure. "...it's just pollution."
"Where do you think Aisuen is?" Xia Yibing equated the "aging sun" and the "evil god" in her mind. While wondering whether the "evil god" could cause people to become deformed through some kind of "radiation", she focused more on finding the "angel".
"He should be at a certain outpost." The Blood Crystal Crow said, "He is a Yalai like you."
"Why? You sound very sure." Xia Yibing actually already had a judgment in her mind. She was just teasing the Blood Crystal Crow out of habit and would mock her if she was wrong.
"It's very simple. This damn place is a world of memory. You are essentially going back in time. From your example - and my example, it has been shown that this world is quite special. It does not accept spirits from the outside world to come in directly as observers. Instead, it insists on molding our spirits into a certain specific shape."
The Blood Crystal Crow analyzed, "There shouldn't be such a thing as a crow here. Plus, you and I came in together, so it brought us together. I became your second heart. Generally speaking, you have to understand that it is very difficult for a spirit from the outside world to truly merge into a body in an illusory dream. There aren't many such opportunities, and there are also hidden dangers in the compatibility between that body and your spirit. For example, you might open your eyes and find yourself attached to an old man. I don't think you would be happy."
Xia Yibing didn't say anything and didn't comment.
"So the convenience of Yalai is revealed." Crow continued, "Yalai was created. There was a period of time before the fusion of consciousness... Of course, this is just my guess. There was a period of time when it was 'unconscious flesh and blood'. This flesh and blood was composed of 'Misros Homo sapiens citizens', 'the body tissue of the Mother of the Void' and a plant called 'Lana'. The so-called memory fusion is that the Homo sapiens citizens who have been transformed have to control their own spirits and reshape their own bodies."
"Of course this is a bad thing for them, but don't you think it's a good thing for spirits like us who intervene from the outside world? As long as you randomly choose an unconscious flesh and blood individual, you can merge seamlessly immediately. Your spirit will instantly reject the 'past tense spirit' that originally existed in the flesh and blood. When your new body is completely formed, even its appearance will be similar to yours in many ways - don't you think this kind of fusion is very convenient?"
"I thought so too." Xia Yibing narrowed her eyes. "If it was just for convenience, she would definitely choose this way."
"if not?"
"Yusilian." After thinking for a while, the woman decided to speak her mind, "You haven't sensed her spirit during this period of time, have you?"
"Why would I do such a thing?"
"So you didn't know that after she came back from there, her spirit had also undergone some subtle changes... Why do you think she suddenly went to find Pusangsi to discuss modifying the path of the 'Spirit Possessed'?"
"Isn't it because she has nothing to do?" The crow was speechless. "A temporary gain or loss... I don't understand why she should worry about it. Her 'vision' is obviously a million years long-term. What's the point of wasting time like this?"①
--------
①: It refers to the series of sequelae that Hitzfeld developed due to contact with the crown, the most obvious of which is the way and angle of looking at things. She began to look at problems from the perspective of the immortal species, which sometimes caused jokes - such as forgetting the bread baking in the oven.
--------
"It is very useful."
"why?"
"Because she has achieved it herself and she has ready-made cases in her hands." Xia Yibing nodded.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Slower than me."
"But better than me."
At the same time, on the planet of Mithros - if it could still be called a planet, three tiny spots of light were hovering in the void above it.
They were all from Mithros, and had not received any transplants of the Void Mother's flesh and blood, nor did they have Lana cells in their bodies. Everyone looked like an ordinary person - a real ordinary person, with no deformities in their facial features or body.
Hitzfeld silently looked at his two "colleagues" and tried not to speak, but was actually familiarizing himself with the control of this body.
Unlike Xia Yibing, she turned into a Yalai without opening her eyes.
There is a difference in the total amount of spirit between the two. Xia Yibing's spirit is much more vast than Hitzfeld's, just like the contrast between the sea and the stream.
This is because Hitzfeld's spirit was restrained by other pressures during the growth stage of ordinary human spirits, just like a student who has been carrying a 100-kilogram weight on his back, resulting in a less than ideal height.
However, this does not mean that there is such a big difference in their performance in the dream. You must know that although the woman has experienced Laurel's test, her spiritual thoughts have been roughly forged to be more solid and tight, and her heart has abandoned the last hesitation. It can be said that she has completed a sublimation baptism from the inside out.
But don't forget that Hitzfeld once suffered from insomnia.
During her illness, she could not sleep. Her spirit was being tormented every moment.
It didn’t matter if she couldn’t handle it, she couldn’t sleep anyway.
She couldn't hide, nor could she escape. Not to mention that along with the sleepiness, she couldn't resist the whispers in the void that grew more and more vast as she became more sleepy.
A normal person - a truly normal person - would go crazy if they experienced this kind of environment for just one week, if not more.
They even specially edited several entries in reality to describe this terrible symptom: auditory hallucination, delusional disorder... This is regarded as a kind of mental problem, and some people commit suicide because of it.
Xia Yibing knew this. She knew that Hitzfeld had been suffering from insomnia. Her soul could hardly rest. She could only rely on the Ring of Desire to sleep occasionally.
She also knew that this torture had not improved even today - yes, Hitzfeld could sleep now, but even if she could sleep, she only had about a third more time to escape the whispers in the void, and she would have to face them every time she woke up.
Because of what happened at the place of origin, the souls of the two were now extremely closely connected. Sometimes, Xia Yibing could even vaguely hear the noise when he hugged her tightly.
But the person in her arms had long been accustomed to it and had subconsciously filtered them out, treating them as white noise like the sound of rain.
So damn it...so what if her spirit is a stream compared to mine?
On the other side, Xia Yibing couldn't help but feel excited when she thought of this.
She has gone through so many more trials and tortures than I have... The "quality" of this "stream" is probably far greater than those "rivers and seas"! It is possible for her to enter the "Misros Dream" while retaining consciousness and independently select a carrier for "spirit possession"!
Being able to dominate the will of the spirit, being able to always stay awake in the dream world, and being able to attach oneself to anything in it at will, this kind of control is called "spiritual possession"!
As her emotions fluctuated, Hitzfeld's spirit-possessed body in the deep space of the universe glanced slightly in that direction.
It was in the direction of Outpost 104, but she was hovering at this position and could only see countless... thousands, tens of millions of things like cell balls floating in the distance.
They were all connected by the stems of the Lana, receiving energy from the main star, Mithros, that is, from the red giant. Each outpost was a part of the Lana, and all the outposts, plus all the Yalai people, the combat uniforms they wore, plus the huge leaves covering Mithros, and the thick layer of plants under the leaves, all of these were counted as the Lana.
It shouldn't be an illusion.
Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes slightly.
The direction gave her the feeling... Xia should have come in as well.
Just as the woman expected, she was sucked in by a force on her own initiative, and she did not immediately merge into the flesh and blood of any Yalai experimental subject.
She could indeed feel that those lumps of flesh and blood were emitting an indescribable attraction to her. Whenever her soul approached them, countless distorted voices in the void would tell her to "eat them, eat them", but of course she couldn't really do that.
God knows if there is anything dirty in there. She plans to take a look around here as a spirit first.
Mithros is very big. It is a place with deep space as its backdrop, and outposts are scattered around the main star. It took Hitzfeld a lot of time just to run from one outpost to another along the stem of "Lara", which is why she never woke up.
She had a hunch that no matter what the reason for creating this world was, if she wanted to return to reality, although there would be some trouble, the other party should not be able to stop her.
It was a very strange feeling, she didn't even know the reason, but she just had this hunch.
But she still trusts her own people more, that is to say, if - if there is danger in the outside world, Xia will definitely come to find her.
So she didn't plan to go out for the time being. Later, she ran to the main star of Misros and explored half of the city in her spirit form.
The structure of this planet is unusual. It was almost dismembered by "Lana" and divided into countless parts, each of which is wrapped in a thick layer of plants.
That's why it can show its heart like cabbage.
That's why it was able to eat what should be a red giant in this way and fight evil by absorbing its last energy.
Hitzfeld didn't spend too much time on Mithros Prime, as she knew it was a waste of time. After learning the secrets here, she followed the cracks in Lana and went underground, and found three people hovering in the central area.
They were far apart from each other, and judging by their appearance, they were two men and one woman. Each of them had long, red-orange hair like flames, a handsome face and a good figure, and they formed a triangle with the flaming sun in the middle.
Hitzfeld looked at them for a while and thought that they should be the gods of Mithros.
It is impossible for mortals to get so close to a red giant star, nor is it possible for them to absorb the energy of solar radiation in such an intuitive way.
From a certain perspective, this would indeed make her stronger, but she was not optimistic. The physics knowledge she had learned in junior high school told her that this would not end well.
Sure enough - as she observed more carefully, she found that the appearance of the three people was just a disguise.
What handsomeness, what beauty... These are all distortions caused by the light and shadow shining on them, and are all deceptive illusions.
She easily saw their true form: each of the three was a twisted monster with blood bubbles constantly coming out of it. They were like smaller cell balls or even tumors, and the side facing the red giant was constantly deformed. Every second, a large number of tentacles and blood bubbles would burst out of them, and then be vaporized by the high temperature - then grow - then vaporize again - and repeat this process over and over again.
The impact of radiation?
She immediately understood the cause of the distortion.
This logic makes sense. Indeed, radiation can also be considered a form of pollution.
If I want to use this kind of power to fight against evil, I will become very scary...
The only good news was that she did not feel the filthy power of the Grey Mist Evil God from these three gods. This meant that they were at least "clean" in the supernatural realm and had absolutely pure bodies.
Hitzfeld hesitated a little, and she suddenly thought of what she had seen along the way.
Even the self-proclaimed pure citizens of Homo sapiens have some pollution. She doesn't know where this pollution comes from yet, but if she wants to possess a spirit, there is no better choice than these three.
Will they let me possess them?
Although it is highly likely that they are just the ghosts of history, lives that have disappeared in the real universe, this is the dream world and anything can happen.
While hesitating, Hitzfeld suddenly noticed that one of the gods - the one who appeared in female form, was gradually losing control of her deformation.
Her body, the deformed tumor was spurting blood plasma crazily, and a lot of flesh and blood on her body surface was bursting apart, including her revealed appearance, that soft female face was also showing an expression of pain.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and met the eyes of the girl who came close to her.
Hitzfeld read her serious plea and desperation, and without hesitation, he controlled his spirit to drill into the bursting flesh and blood, instantly stabilizing it.
It’s really dangerous…
Only after she came in did she realize what had just happened.
The tumorous bodies of these gods rely on red giant stars for energy. Once such things become unstable, the explosion will be very terrifying.
At least it should be equivalent to a nuclear bomb...
Hitzfeld didn't know the extent of a nuclear bomb explosion, so she could only make a conservative estimate in her mind.
In short, the existing balance will definitely be broken, and the red giant star may be affected. The entire Misros and all life in the entire "Lana" ecological chain will die.
But now I'm here.
The phantom of the foreign minister twisted for a while, then gradually recovered, and turned into a normal female appearance under the gaze of the other two male foreign ministers.
Nodding, the two thought the crisis was over.
But in reality it was far from as simple as they thought. They did not realize that the projection of the female deity's appearance had completely disappeared. The newly emerged existence was no longer an ugly tumor, but was forcibly pinched and reshaped, revealing its true appearance.
In other words, the red-haired girl who appeared now was not a projection.
