Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 298: The fate of the star seeker (5/4, 1w5 update, the ruins are basically over)
Although he said that he and the hive will have different wills, Yin En has indeed been eroded by the other party's spiritual energy a lot.
The only thing that was beyond the expectations of the worm nest was actually only one thing - it integrated the memories of the great elder and all the people who were devoured by him in the past, and combined together, Yin En was not alone.
Although the other party was holding a sword, he looked rational, objective, calm and indifferent, but this monster felt a kind of fear towards Yin En.
Because of the other party's madness, it was almost to accomplish an 'impossible thing'.
Through the spiritual contact just now, it can understand that Yin En didn't lie, and it can also understand Yin En's speculation about the Prisoner Star Prison... so that it feels desperate.
However, Yin En has come out of despair and is still firm in his dream.
It's not that Yin En is different from the will of the hive and cannot resonate, but the will of the hive finds that it cannot keep up with Yin En and cannot resonate with the other party.
At this moment, all the mist, fluorescence, spiritual energy and guards that lingered in front of the white cocoon of flesh and blood were dispelled, and the entity of the will of the hive finally appeared in front of the young man in its entirety.
It was a huge cocoon, more than five meters high, its surface was covered with a layer of slippery and greasy mucus, and its interior was filled with a viscous slurry, in which a brain-shaped shadow was suspended.
This shadow is constantly releasing psychic energy fluctuations, trying to connect Yin En's thinking and spirit again.
But just as the body's immune tissue will produce antibodies against foreign viruses, the spirit will also be insensitive to foreign heterogeneous spirits, just like a joke that will not be funny after reading too much. If there is too much happiness, you will feel pain instead. The current psychic power of the hive will not have any effect on Yin En.
In fact, the will of the hive has not been fully formed. Now it is just a collection of wills that reside in the brain-eating worm psionic network. Its physical world entity is the brain in the cocoon in front of it. It sounds like it was created for itself. A weakness, not really.
Psionic energy in the world of Terra cannot be independent of the physical body. Supernatural power needs a medium to manifest in the material world. Just as pure psionic creatures like goblins need a core to carry their power, so does the will of the hive. In this way, it is this brain that gives it the confidence to display powerful psychic abilities, but this is not enough.
It wants to build a body strong enough for itself.
At first it was an ether crystal dragon, but now it is Yin En, so it stole the crystal dragon eggs and intended to assimilate Yin En.
Of course, it is also possible that Yin En was assimilated by Yin En, making Yin En the will of the hive.
No, it will definitely be assimilated by Yin En - it thinks that its obsession is far less crazy and bewildered than Yin En, so naturally it cannot beat this young man in mental confrontation.
The opponent may be the real master of the fate of the swarm.
They don't care, the swarm just want to see the stars.
They don't care who is in charge, as long as someone can see it.
It's just that there are not many stars in this world.
Yin En took a step forward, he felt a familiarity, the thinking of Hive Will reminded him of Isengard, and Axel, the guardian of the earth looming behind him... His Majesty the Emperor Do you really want to use your grandson as the carrier of your will? Is he also looking for his new body like the will of the hive?
Is it really that simple, is it really that despicable?
Perhaps—maybe the Emperor's family is so devoid of family affection...but can he really underestimate the opponent he is destined to face in the future...one of the kings who rule this land?
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. The young man could see that behind the giant white cocoon was actually an armor...a pre-epoch armor that had been mostly destroyed.
The armored cockpit has been destroyed, and there is a damaged corpse inside, and the root system of the white giant cocoon is wrapped around the corpse, from which it was bred, grown, and finally transformed into this appearance.
The crystal clusters and metal matrix are also derived from this armor - they are all derivatives of the etheric core in this armored engine!
The fluorescent crystals that spread around the entire insect nest are all 'element derivatives' produced by the malfunctioning of the ether armament, a low-purity element crystal doped with a lot of dust and calcium!
And the metal layer is easier to understand... They are all subsidiary creations of the core material of the ether-armed hearth's "living metal Morion steel"!
It is this kind of living metal capable of self-repair, which grows and spreads under the guidance of the psychic hive will, so that it can absorb the metal from the ruins of the surrounding water purification plant, mix with the local rock formations and crystals, and shape it into what it is today. The nest!
Of course, it is also possible that the Sequoia base system self-inspected and noticed that the cooling port here was damaged, so it drove the self-repair metal, that is, 'Morien Steel' to carry out automatic repairs, but was intercepted by the swarm.
Yin En seems to have seen a soul-stirring battle. In the past, when the Great Elder was against the entire Sequoia Base, someone stepped forward and drove the armor to a duel with him.
They fought and attacked each other, no one spared their lives, and even wanted to throw them away impatiently.
In the end, the Great Elder lost, and their bodies died together. The Great Elder who lost his body could only stay in the brain devouring psychic network and continue to be an enemy of the base.
This also gave the other five elders in the base a chance to upload their souls into the psionic network and smash him into pieces.
Thousands of years have passed, whether it is the Great Elder, the five self-sacrificing elders, or other Sequoia people, the memories and desires of all people are mixed together and reproduced in the long time, creeping ignorant slugs Once again turned into a terrifying parasite, and began to build a nest deep in the ground.
Reinventing 'Heart of the Swarm'.
There is a halo of water color in Yin En's eyes, he can see too many shadows from this swarm of insects... the elder, the five elders, each of them is eager to go above the ground, above the sea, and breathe fresh air , enjoying the sunshine, looking up at the blue sky and the soul of the stars.
The insect swarm is certainly terrifying and abominable, but it assimilates the core of the essence of life, but it is such a beautiful 'desire'.
Haha, he made a mistake. If a wish, a grand plan, or a vision of the future is not beautiful, how can it be desirable and make people want to integrate with it?
It has always been like this.
Staring at the enemy in front of him and the insect nest in front of him, there are countless fragments of the past in Yin En's eyes.
In 3319, the alien spacecraft "Obera Spark" landed on the back of the moon Terra.
In 3432, the Federation Lunar Exploration Team found this Tinder spacecraft carrying an entire alien ecology.
In 3472, Sequoia Base was established.
In 3518, Sequoia Base launched a closed operation test, and all thirteen heterogeneous ecosystems were operating well.
Shortly after, a catastrophe from the sky came, and Sequoia Base was isolated from the surface ecology.
Inheritance from generation to generation, sacrifice from generation to generation.
Ecological balance and the power structure in the base, as well as the efforts to maintain Sequoia Base and the scientific and technological achievements of the entire pre-epoch civilization, have finally come to an end.
End in life's oldest and wildest longing.
The mortal dares to desire eternal life.
——Eternal life, eternal life——Eternal life carries all meanings, so that too many regrets can no longer be regrets, and too much haste becomes unnecessary.
That's why it's crazy.
"No...what is more insane than the desire for eternal life, it should be the life on earth, dare to look up to the sky."
"Just because such a desire is too inconceivable, human beings can only retreat and use eternal life as a foreshadowing, so that they can see a glimmer of hope..."
Sighing, Yin En mobilized the energy in the ancient dragon's core, and at the same time provided strength for the sand armor apprentice and the fairy wings, and he had to prepare for the final blow.
At this moment, the outside world is shaking violently, and you can hear the roar of the weak Dragon Yin and Bishop Baiwu fighting with all their strength. combination.
He must use the fastest speed to defeat the will of the hive in front of him, otherwise he will face failure.
But in fact, the young man's heart is definitely not as determined and crazy as the insect nest thinks.
Under the temptation of the insect nest, he even wavered for a moment.
Yes. If he can seize the will of the insect nest and become the real master of the brain-eating insect psionic network, then how easy it will be for him to develop power in the future.
Use brain-eating worms to devour the brains of several key people and become your own subordinates. Attaching the brain can also guarantee the loyalty of everyone, and even turn all subordinates into saints who are free from corruption, crime and selfishness. Enough to establish a great power, and even win every war.
Then continue to cultivate insect nests in the ruins, erode the surrounding monsters, defeat the ether crystal dragon, and make them into their own monster incarnations, biological battleship weapons; then slowly reproduce the technology in the ruins, and cultivate the old Era civilization has been quite mature 'core organisms in the ecosystem'.
Combined with the 'fire engine' he had already obtained, it was a ready-made biological superluminal spaceship.
Under his leadership, the Terra swarm will quickly leave this boring land and go to the sea of stars to explore why the stars are extinguished.
He could do it—the vision told him that a future of golden glory awaited him.
Yes.
In Yin En's eyes, since he saw the will of the hive, he didn't see any danger.
What he saw was a golden ocean!
It is like a shining golden waterfall that gathers countless stars and finally goes upstream to reach the sky!
[Star Seeker Hive Will (Master Species)]
[The first energy level, first birth, core, assimilable]
【The main consciousness of the psionic network built through the accumulation of various mutations and soul fragments has now initially formed the mastermind of the gestalt nest. Through the same emotions, desires and dreams, it attracts others into itself. The central soul makes the hive carry out will integration, resulting in sublimation and transformation. It is the initial form of bee colony civilization]
[Incorporating the heritage of many other star field civilizations, the embryonic form of a brand-new hive civilization born in the Terra star field, but because its development process is too **** and primitive, it does not comply with the "Tinder Civilization Protection Agreement", and will be handed over to the "Primitive Life Preservation" District' for correction and improvement]
[...]
[They are inviting you to be their master]
On the silver chip, there are characters like this beating.
As long as he is willing to resonate with the will of the hive and become the true master of the hive, he can embark on this path of destiny...and embark on this [road of the swarm] that is civilization all by itself!
Bishop Bishop, or in other words, the 'catastrophe' seen by the 'Huaiguang Church' was not a worm's nest at all, but him who chose the worm's nest path! It was Yin En who chose to become the master of the hive!
It's just the mutual influence between the prophets, so that the prophets of the Huaiguang Church can't see the truth and mistakenly believe that
Yin En is the brave man who can stop the will of the hive.
That is the truth of the crisis that will truly threaten the entire world, and it is indeed a disaster that 'only these people present are enough to prevent'!
But...
The sword left by the teacher in his hand, and the heat from his core made the white-haired boy wake up a little bit.
Yoon recalls the brilliance of the chip.
It is composed of countless colors, bright and shining, dreamy and magnificent... [Rainbow] brilliance.
Rainbow.
—Yes.
Gold is not the highest level of haze.
On top of it, there is a rainbow-colored 'future'!
"Let me be greedy once——"
The corners of his mouth curled up, causing the source matter to burn on the surface of his body, and then pour it into the long sword in his hand. Yin En said calmly: "This is the greed of the prophet. Because I can see the future, I can't help it, forever I can't help it..."
"I can't help it, I want to reach the best future!"
He raised his head, stared at the will of the hive in front of him, peeped out the opponent's weakness, and the brain inside the cocoon was beating uncomfortably, it sensed pure hostility, countless crystals and metals were drawn by it, covering the Cocoon, as a last defense.
As long as it takes a while, the frantic female insect will break free from everything and come to protect it. It only needs to hold on for a while.
But it is still sending out invitations to the young man, hoping that the other party can become its master, become the real heart of the swarm, so that they can also reach the high heavens.
But Yin En ignored those psychic tentacles who were looking for cracks and gaps in his spirit. He had once again strengthened his heart and his desire.
——The worm nest in front of you has a thousand-year history, and the ruins with it are creations from 1,600 years ago.
The base of the glorious civilization of the past, now only the bones of the dead are left.
The towers of the former civilization reached the void, but now there are only ruins and decay.
In the past, the civilization could go to the other side of the ecological circle, but now only the screams of beasts are left.
All the longings, wishes and dreams of the past are now scattered, leaving only empty ruins for future generations to gaze at.
But now, some of the people gathered here are for the pursuit of eternal life, some are for leaving the cage, some are for killing their relatives, some are involved in accidents, and some are following the prophecy to wipe out future disasters.
There are nobles fighting each other, and soldiers continuing the dispute.
The prisoners of this world, their souls are bound by gravity.
Raise your head, even in the deep underground, you still look up to the sky.
Yin En tightly held the long sword in his hand, and the iron sword of Chongyuan seemed to be covered with a layer of light golden illusory crystals, and then there was a blue source quality wrapped around it, like water veins.
The six sublimation structures in the body were working together, and the young man's eyes were shining with blue halos. His swordsmanship and inscription skills allowed him to see a huge gap in the many crystal iron armor suspended on the giant cocoon in front of him.
"I am no different from them, just to fulfill my wish... I am against you, but I am also afraid that I will agree to you."
"I can swing a sword..."
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up, flew up, and condescendingly slashed a sword at the will of the hive that was wriggling frantically and constantly retreating!
The sword's light is green and golden, tearing the dim fluorescence. It's just an ordinary slanted sword, but it cuts through all the armor protecting the will of the insect nest.
It's hard to describe Yin En's swordsmanship at this moment in words, maybe it's not a swordsmanship, because the trajectory of the young man's sword at this moment is not just a swordsmanship, but it is enough to cut off the spiritual tentacles, cut open the flesh and blood of the insect nest, The sword of the prophet that reaches the vital points of all enemies——
This sword light is like lightning, quickly shattering all other objects blocking its edge, but in the perception of the will of the hive, this sword is extremely slow, as if a thousand years of time have been spent on this sword. Slipping down bit by bit, it is like the condensation of the thousand-year history of Sequoia Base, and finally turned into that dim arc of light, cutting through the giant cocoon of flesh and blood, and hitting the fragile brain of the pale insect swarm!
Even the trembling brain-eating mother worm, giant eel, ether crystal dragon and bishop of white mist, even Master Goser and Isengard seemed to sense something, and they couldn't help turning their heads to look at the insect nest the central.
Even, even Patrick, who had just woken up and had half of his body broken, looked at the sublimation sword light that the young man swung under the gaps with complicated expressions.
[We are the same kind...why...why don't you let us out...]
[We just want to break free from the cage, we just want to see the stars...]
Boom!
The thunder exploded underground, and Yin En could clearly feel that the giant cocoon was torn apart by him, and the psionic slurry containing extremely high radiation splashed on him.
But without hesitation, he continued to move forward with his sword light, until the heavy sword like a meteorite completely smashed the pale brain that seemed to want to say something and resonate with him.
The psychic shield and the resistance of flesh and blood are meaningless. Under Yin En's observation with all his psychic power, they were found to be flawed, smashed to pieces, and turned into nothing.
Yes, the will of the hive is right, it may indeed be of the same kind as itself, and they may be able to go to the sky as quickly as possible by joining forces.
The way of the swarm may be the most suitable and most efficient way for him, a foreigner who has awakened the memory of his previous life.
But he swung his sword—
Standing on the cocoon of flesh and blood that was on the verge of being shattered, falling apart, and slowly collapsing, Yin En retracted his sword and stared at the brain plasma under his feet, as well as the brain fluid surrounding him, which had completely drifted away. The psionic shards of the hive mind restored in .
The prophet stared at a path of fate that had been cut off by himself, and sighed softly.
"Just for a better future."
