Chapter 1576 Alienation
Merlin does not like undead creatures, not because he agrees with the mainstream statement promoted by many knowledgeable people, that is, 'this kind of existence itself is a blasphemy to life', but because he consulted After reading a large number of files, I felt that those so-called 'immortals' deviated too much from my profession, and their compatibility was shockingly low.
In other words, the upper limit is extremely low.
It’s not that the upper limit of undead creatures is low, but that Merlin’s compatibility with this science is too low. To give an example, it is equivalent to asking a world-class Magic player to start playing Yu-Gi-Oh from scratch. Players' personal qualities are extremely high, but it is difficult to replicate their past achievements in new areas in a short period of time.
So even though Arthur directly ordered all the first and second sequence warriors of the [Tibetan Front] in front of him to commit suicide, the purpose of this 'alienation' was by no means to turn them into immortals.
The only reason why those people were told to 'die' was to allow their so-called [souls] in the current worldview to appear undefended within the scope of the radiation tower's influence.
This is a kind of mysterious and mysterious logic. If those mainstream scholars saw it, they would most likely think that the person who proposed this idea was crazy. However, Merlin used a large number of experiments that were contrary to humanism to forcefully Completed the proof of its core theory, namely -
'Wisdom with strong beliefs When life dies, a certain quality (experimental appendix F25, Section 2: tentatively named: soul/soul) will not become silent along with the disappearance of vital signs, but will briefly leave the body and present a highly active state. During the process, the repulsion between this trait and its body will increase at an extremely rapid rate until it becomes completely independent and then slowly collapses. ’
Combining the knowledge provided by Osiris and Garros, Merlin concluded that this phenomenon should be the reason for the birth of the natural undead.
However, through various researches, it has been proved that this rule does not apply to the members of the [Zangfeng] war group, because the vast majority of natural undead without external interference are those with extremely strong obsessions and An existence full of regrets and extremely resistant to death, but these warriors who died because of executing Arthur Bohe's orders and were perfectly loyal had no regrets.
Not only that, the probability of natural undead being born is also very low. Even if you meet the conditions, you must have the right time, place and people to ensure a certain success rate, such as two undead archmages squatting next to you or being in a specific environment such as a large cemetery. of.
In short, this path that Merlin did not intend to take was actually unworkable from the beginning.
It is true that Arthur did directly give the order of 'suicide', and the soldiers also faithfully carried out this order, but this is not an irreversible death, just a common sense level of 'no hope of saving'. .
According to Merlin's experimental report, when the human body enters the concept of 'hopeless' at the common sense level, the so-called soul will begin to leave the body. After the time reaches the extreme and the soul is completely independent, the state of 'death' will be completely fixed.
In other words, if the method is appropriate, death at the common sense level can be rewritten.
It's like you were shot through the heart. Even if you are still alive, you are dead from a common sense perspective because you can't be saved.
But what if there is a device that can replace the heart and is carried in your pocket?
Even in the reality of 2049, this kind of thing is somewhat outrageous. The same is true in the realm of innocence. This kind of damage that can directly cause the [death] effect from the player's perspective is basically equivalent to no save.
However——
The [Trial Alienation Radiation Tower MII] that is now in operation can effectively solve this problem.
The first is the most difficult step, which is to forcibly bind those so-called 'souls' through the 'field' formed by the radiation tower before their repulsion from the body reaches a certain threshold, and at the same time perform an extremely slight of 'pollution'.
This step is the most likely to go wrong, because the souls repel each other too fast, and the radiation tower’s start-up delay is too high due to its special structure. If the ‘field’ is completed before the soul leaves the body Expand, then it can almost be declared a failure directly, because the alienation of living people 'The risk is much higher than the alienated 'soul'. In fact, it cannot be called alienated at all, but a step into the secondary original sin transformation with a rarity called SuperiorSuperRare. More than 10,000 warriors can have three It’s good for people with a few digits to survive.
If the 'field' is launched too late, it is very likely that when the alienation is completed, the soul and body will be severely repelled and unable to re-integrate into one body. Although the loss is smaller than the former, it is still the same It will cause a large area of waste.
However, since there was no third option, we finally decided to launch the radiation tower later, which was a relatively cost-effective solution. The remedy was Mo, who had absolute control over the concept of 'sin'. I don't care about normal souls, but if it is a soul contaminated by sin, according to Merlin's theory, Mo is still very likely to push it back into the body under high repulsion.
This is why everyone must wait until Mo comes online before they dare to start executing the plan.
And Mo did not live up to the expectations that Mr. Merlin had for him. In fact, he did far better than Merlin imagined.
For example, before relying on his control over 'sin' to push back those souls that had completed alienation, he used some means at the very beginning to improve the perfect success rate, which is the initial probability of survival for all members. Pushed to 99%.
That was the moment when 16,000 soldiers had completed their suicide, their souls had left their bodies and the radiation tower had not yet started operating, causing those souls that should have started to produce rejection reactions the moment they left their bodies to freeze. for a moment.
That was a moment when many souls had not been infected by sin, but even so...
[That was just now! ? 】
Ji Xiaodao suddenly turned back to look at the man who had just put the mask named [Senior Seal] back on his face and stood quietly in mid-air, with a look of horror in his eyes.
Just now, she felt a pressure that almost made her breathless pass behind her. It was something that Merlin and Gawen were currently far out of reach, or even aware of. 'strength'.
But Ji Xiaodao felt that it was not because she had a connection with the man behind her, but because she had also touched the threshold of that power after the brief fight with Gu Xiaole not long ago...
She would occasionally visit the forum, and often listen to Kang Lan and others' discussions about the power levels of the Innocence in the group. She could even browse a large amount of information collected by Jia Wen through various channels. Information, so Merlin and Gawen were unaware of the power just now, and only he was vaguely aware of the power. He already had a vague guess -
Domain!
Nine times out of ten, that is a domain power that only extremely talented people can master, and even many legendary powerhouses have not been able to obtain it throughout their lives.
We have mentioned many times that Ji Xiaodao is an undoubted combat genius. It is true that she has huge resources that most players cannot match, but this does not represent her personal combat power ranking. What’s wrong with the third place on the list?
To give the simplest example, many clubs and studios, led by Red Constellation, have no less resources than here after officially settling in the world of innocence, at least no less than before with William Bo What a showdown, the young man here has always been hiding it.
What Ji Xiaodao has, Awakening Dragon will definitely have, and it will only be more and better. However, under such circumstances, Xinglong has never succeeded in breaking into the top three of the personal rankings. His current fourth place is already the best result in history.
Even if we can know from God's perspective that the two at the top are indeed a bit abnormal, Ji Xiaodao definitely belongs to the normal category of players. After all, others have advantages such as resources.
So her strength is only indirectly related to the fact that she is in this camp and has a higher status, not directly.
For example, now, although Xinglong has squeezed his role, skills, talents and other elements to almost the limit, he has a dominant strength in the field of high-level peaks, and even encounters some half-step epics or The epic strong man also has the ability to fight with it, but he still failed to touch the concept of 'domain' after all.
As for Ji Xiaodao, he was obviously not as hardworking as Awakening Dragon (Ji Xiaodao worked very hard in the game, and he worked hard both inside and outside Awakening Dragon game), but he touched the threshold of the field first.
Although it is only to the extent that it cannot be used in battle, even so, she still surpasses Marshal Galahad, the only legendary powerhouse in the camp, to a certain extent.
But just now, Ji Xiaodao could swear that he felt the real 'field', not the ambiguous thing he perceived, nor the 'foreign land' that Gu Xiaole developed through some means, but the real field!
[If this continues, you really won’t even be able to see that person’s back...]
The girl sighed silently and tightened her hand, which had become cold at some point. hands.
On the other side, after Mo Na’s power, which Ji Xiaodao determined to be the ‘domain’, disappeared in a flash, the first step of ‘alienation’ also ended perfectly.
I saw the alienated radiation tower in front of Merlin suddenly emitted a series of harsh buzzing sounds. Those souls that were invisible to the naked eye but had indeed been separated from the body and implanted with a ray of 'sin' were suppressed at the same time. Returning to the body, all the 'corpses' shook at the same moment.
At this point, the second step was successful, and all 16,000 contaminated souls returned to their original bodies without exception.
This link may seem simple, but it is actually an extremely important foreshadowing and the essence of the entire 'alienation' process. According to the conclusion drawn by Merlin, it is through the means of '(sin + soul) + body' A translation is performed to further weaken the influence of the original secondary original sin, and then the soul is infiltrated into the body with zero pollution, thereby achieving a delicate balance.
Finally——
“Uh-huh!”
At the front of a certain phalanx, a soldier who had lost his life suddenly started to tremble violently. The hideous wound began to heal strangely, and the closed eyes suddenly opened.
It was a pair of extremely weird pupils. To put it in a nutshell, the pupils, iris, cornea, and sclera were all dyed lifeless black by some unknown force, which looked particularly scary.
"Haha, hahahahahahahaha, it's working! It's working, it's working!"
Merlin, who was standing behind the alienation radiation tower, couldn't help but laugh wildly when he saw this scene. He danced and screamed: "I knew it! I knew it was traceable! I knew that that ridiculously crude model was correct! Get up! Get up, everyone. Ah! In the name of science, get up and witness this absurd truth!"
Although no amplification method was used, the 'corpses' seemed to have heard Merlin's impatient screams. He opened his eyes while moaning unconsciously, and kept moaning from his throat that seemed to have recovered but sounded like necrosis. It was creepy!
To be honest, although these people who have regained their 'life' are not undead creatures, judging from their performance at this moment, they seem to be worse than undead creatures.
This is the last step, that is, after the body and the infected soul are integrated, the process of compromise from the state of 'death/infection' to alienation, and in this process, the ray of power brought back by the soul The body will be repaired at high speed, so that these warriors who are in principle infinitely close to death will be rejuvenated.
In Merlin's calculations, 30% to 50% of that power will be consumed during this period, and the remaining power will not be so easy for a mid-level physics professional with a healthy body. Once a person is polluted by sin, he will immediately enter a long period of dormancy.
As for whether they will die, collapse, or become SSR after the dormant period is over, it can only depend on the fate of these people.
But theory is theory. Merlin never thought that all of these people could survive the 'dormant period' safely. After all-
"Ah! Ahhhh...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Ah! ”
Hysterical howls suddenly sounded, and a soldier who was like a zombie like the others suddenly stood up staggeringly and staggered forward while letting out a shrill scream, while his body continued to tremble in the process. The ground melted, and a large amount of plasma and thick water would even spurt out from the gaps in the armor from time to time. Finally, after about ten seconds, the man 'exploded' on the spot, leaving only a set of blood-stained armor. With lots of distorted bones.
[Tsk, tsk, the first category of unsuitable people, whose soul strength is too poor, cannot bear the lightweight 'sin' that has been consumed by nearly half, and will undoubtedly die...]
"Uh-huh. ——”
After a while, a man’s eyes had regained their clarity. , the black outside the pupils almost dissipated, in other words, it was infinitely close to the success of 'alienation'. The warrior suddenly shook his body, and his whole body suddenly rose nearly eighty centimeters, and the muscles in his body expanded almost three times. The armor exploded with sobs and turned into a deformed and twisted monster!
[Well, the second type of misfits have too weak willpower and are swallowed up by the pain of alienation, which leads to annihilation of consciousness and loss of physical control. Let's throw them into the Original Sin Absolution Legion...]
< br>
The old man smiled happily while appreciating the 'typical cases' that were constantly playing out in front of him, enjoying the sense of accomplishment of controlling all possibilities -
"After one hour, the rest will be the adaptors. ~”
