Chapter 13 Subspace Creatures
Damn, I feel so bad, I couldn’t sleep last night
Li Qing's frigate was immediately affected by the interception force field and interference force field, but it did not affect his retreat.
The function of the shaking force is only to intercept the target and prevent it from using the hyperspace engine to jump away. The function of the interference field is to lay down a force field to prevent others from jumping to this area. Neither of them has a deceleration function.
Only the winding stasis beam has the deceleration function, but it was not used on him.
At this time, Xia Qi and others also woke up and quickly turned around and retreated like him.
Li Yuan, the commander of the Burning Ghost Squadron in the distance, just sneered when he saw this, ignored it, and concentrated on commanding his men to capture the chaotic light ball.
Under the control of three tractor beams, the chaotic light ball was firmly fixed in the void and shook violently. It seemed that it felt threatened. The ferocious evil spirits inside bit more fiercely. It was visible to the naked eye that each of the ferocious evil spirits was torn to pieces and devoured. .
The number of evil spirits decreased rapidly, but the ones that survived became stronger and stronger. Even if he was prepared, Li Yuan could feel the stronger and stronger mental impact.
But he was not worried. Instead, he looked at the ball of light that gradually turned from chaos to clarity with a face full of enthusiasm, and murmured to himself:
"Tear them apart, devour them. Hundreds of thousands of souls affected by subspace will merge into one, and a psychic life form will be born."
"Buzz!"
Another strong psychic impact exploded, and all the battleships shook violently and stopped.
Li Yuan's face changed slightly, and at this moment, the eyes of a robot suspended in mid-air behind him flashed red, and a mechanical voice sounded:
"Warning, it has been detected that the warship is affected by psychic impact, and there is an electronic transmission failure at the stern of the ship. Please ask the logistics manager to prepare for repairs."
"Warning, it has been detected that the intensity of the fourth psychic impact has reached the critical point of psychic storm. It is expected that the next impact will increase to a quasi-psionic storm level. Commander, please pay attention to avoid it!"
"Warning, it is predicted that the intensity of the fifth psychic impact will reach the quasi-psionic storm level. At that time, all automatic facilities in the fleet will be temporarily interrupted. The estimated duration is 60 seconds. Commander, please pay attention to avoid it!"
Three consecutive warnings made Li Yuan's face change slightly, his eyes flickered, his mind moved quickly, and he made a decision quickly:
"I order all battleships to switch to manual combat systems and activate overload mode before the next round of psychic storm arrives."
"Your Excellency, Commander, the overload mode can only last for one round at most. Calculated according to the strength of the psychic impact, the intensity of the psychic impact will officially enter the level of psychic storm in the sixth round."
"That's enough, do as I command."
"As you command, Your Majesty Commander!"
The robot's electronic eyes flashed red.
Li Yuan clenched his hands into fists. On the surface, he looked expressionless and unworried, but in fact, he was a little uneasy in his heart.
"Buzz!"
The fifth round of psychic impact swept across, and the huge battleship shook violently. The surface shield rippled like water waves. A real space fluctuation swept under his nose. Countless lights inside the battleship turned red, and each The warning sounds are endless.
However, after activating the overload mode, the impact resistance of most of the battleship's equipment was greatly enhanced, and it was able to withstand this blow.
At this time, the captain robot of the cruiser came to warn again. He stretched out his hand to stop, staring closely at the ball of light that had already determined the winner, with a smile on his face:
"It's over, there will be no sixth round of psychic storm."
The light ball has changed from the chaos before to the clear and transparent one now. It can be clearly seen that the countless ferocious faces mixed in it have disappeared, and only one soul is left hanging in the clear light ball as if it is sleeping.
"Psychic life forms, after fusion, can forcibly awaken their psychic powers and become psykers!"
Li Yuan recalled that in order to do this, he deliberately built a large base, spent tens of billions to move hundreds of thousands of people here, and then attracted evil things from subspace to come, and quickly closed the subspace cracks after the evil things arrived with a hint of power.
Hundreds of thousands of human souls were contaminated and alienated by the power of evil things, killing and devouring each other. In the end, the strongest soul swallowed all the souls, and the quantitative change caused the qualitative transformation into a spiritual life form.
It cost more than 40 billion star dollars to build a base that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and relocate hundreds of thousands of people. Almost all of the net worth was invested in it.
Finally almost successful.
Li Yuan was so excited that he quickly ordered the tractor beam to pull the light ball over. He could hardly wait.
The three industrial ships joined forces and the light ball quickly approached the cruiser. The cruiser opened a hole and the light ball was thrown into it. Li Yuan, who had been waiting in front of the deck early, took out a prism-shaped crystal the size of an egg. When the crystal touched the light ball, it immediately emitted a powerful energy. The attraction swallows up the clear light like a dragon sucking water.
The humanoid soul in the light ball also quickly twisted and deformed and threw it at the prismatic crystal, and was about to be swallowed.
At this moment, the soul suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils spitting blood and roaring:
"Don't even think about it!"
The soul body exploded with a bang, and a violent spiritual energy rushed towards Li Yuan, but it was blocked by a layer of light armor emerging from his body. He said coldly and expressionlessly:
"I knew you wouldn't give in, I was prepared!"
Another prismatic crystal appeared in his right hand at some point. He crushed it, and a light man whose face he couldn't see suddenly appeared. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and the collapsed spiritual energy was tightly bound by a powerful force.
"You can't run away, be a good boy. This."
The face of the reassembled soul body was no longer the same as before, but another face full of evil feelings and a weird smile. Li Yuan suddenly felt something bad and subconsciously wanted to do something. At this moment, he couldn't feel his own existence, and at the same time, the evil face said:
"I have seen countless butchers, but there are very few who can kill hundreds of thousands of the same kind without changing their expressions. I admire you very much, come with me!"
Then, Li Yuan could feel his own existence again, and immediately communicated with his robot captain through his mind.
However, this evil face seemed to be aware of his thoughts, shook his head and said:
"You can't do this. Since you are not interested, I never force anyone."
He raised his head and looked in a certain direction, with the corner of his mouth raised:
"Well, let me see, there are two more interesting people of the same kind than you."
Li Yuan seemed to notice something, with a trace of fear in his eyes, and shouted:
"I agree, I agree."
"It's too late!"
The next second, the protective armor collapsed, and countless red and black streams of light penetrated into his body. The light in Li Yuan's eyes quickly dimmed and turned gray. Soon, the whole person turned into ashes and collapsed. A red and black stream of light emerged from the scattered dust. It rises and disappears in a flash.
"Your soul was swallowed by an unknown evil thing in the subspace. It will take 50 years of life to reshape your body and soul, leaving you with a remaining life of 6 years."
As soon as Li Yuan died, the unknown subspace evil object disappeared. Li Qing immediately felt the chaos caused by the Burning Ghost Fleet. At this time, Xia Qi's voice also came from the channel:
"There seems to be some confusion over there, us"
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Everyone was stunned for a moment and sent messages to Xia Qi to inquire, except Li Qing.
Because, originally, he was about to send a communication inquiry, but before he took action, he saw countless black and red lights converging in front of the bridge, forming an invisible humanoid figure, staring at him with interest, saying A sentence that shocked both him and Xia Qi:
"Human, I can feel the huge spiritual potential in you. Now it only takes a little bit of my strength to successfully awaken the spiritual energy. But there is a saying in your human civilization that there is no free lunch in the world. You only need to pay now. For a small price, you can become a powerful psyker."
Xia Qi did not speak, but looked at the unknown life form that appeared in his battleship with vigilance.
And this unknown life form seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said in a seductive voice:
"Perhaps I should introduce myself first. I come from the virtual realm, which in your human terms is the spiritual realm. We may be evil in the eyes of humans, but we don't think it ourselves. What we like most is trading, each taking what he wants. Need it, not take it by force”
"If you know anything about us, you should know that we have never forced you, and the same is true now. If you don't want to, I can leave now."
"But before I leave, I have a small suggestion. You may not know it yourself, but you have psychic talent, and you are only one step away from awakening your psychic powers. Under normal circumstances, it may take you decades to awaken, or maybe even a lifetime. You cannot awaken, but as long as you make a small deal with me and pay a trivial price that will never threaten your life, you can awaken your psychic powers immediately and become a powerful psychic."
He looked like he was not in a hurry at all. He raised his left wrist as if to check the time. He raised his right hand and stretched out his orchid fingers and said:
"You have fifteen seconds to think about it. If you haven't made a decision after fifteen seconds, I will default that you gave up this opportunity to change your destiny."
"Fifteen."
"Fourteen."
Compared to Xia Qi, whose brows furrowed and spread, his eyes wandering and hesitant, Li Qing's expression was much more normal. He even looked curiously at this unknown life form that claimed to be from the spiritual world.
He knew that the psychic world was simply famous. It was a powerful foreign world located in the subspace on the opposite side of the main material universe, and it was also the place that all psychics most longed to enter.
Countless powerful psychic creatures live there, the most famous of which are the four evil gods of chaos, also known as the Four Peddlers, who are:
Whispers of the Void.
The evil spirit of the world.
The instrument of craving.
The fabric of life.
But this is just what they used to be called. They have different names in different times and different civilizations.
God of courage and strength.
God of knowledge and wisdom.
God of life and prosperity.
God of art and beauty.
Of course, this unknown life form is definitely not any of the four super powerful Chaos Evil Gods, because those four existences never conceal their existence, and other existences in the spiritual world do not dare to impersonate them, so it must not be the case.
But no matter who it is, as long as it comes from the spiritual world, it must be a very powerful existence, and what he says is extremely feasible.
If it says it can help you unlock your psychic powers, it will definitely help you unlock your psychic powers.
But how to turn it on and what price to pay is hard to say.
To be honest, Li Qing had no interest.
It's not that he isn't interested in spiritual energy, on the contrary, he is very interested in awakening spiritual energy.
The three common ascensions in Xinghai are spiritual ascension, genetic ascension, and mechanical ascension. The strongest of them is spiritual ascension, which is a level higher than genetic ascension and mechanical ascension.
However, the difficulty of corresponding spiritual ascension is also higher. You have to awaken the spiritual energy on your own, which stumps most people.
Once you can successfully awaken your spiritual energy, you will be able to gain the power of spiritual interference with matter, as well as a powerful skill that only psykers can obtain.
The reason why he was not interested in such a huge benefit was mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to afford the necessary price.
The favorite thing of the living beings in the spiritual world is the soul. The most common price is to take away your soul after your death. If you are greedy, you will be asked to provide more souls.
To put it bluntly, I just want you to cause trouble everywhere.
Imagine that as long as you sign a contract, you will be asked to kill a group of people every once in a while. Each time you need to kill more people than the last time, even if you only kill one at the beginning, it will gradually accumulate to a certain point. The souls provided will become more and more until you are overwhelmed and can no longer provide them. At that time, you will need your own soul to fill them.
They received elite education from the military lords. Their teachers had reminded them more than once before not to do business with any existence in the subspace. It was impossible for ordinary players to outplay them.
They are all monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years. In terms of their minds, they can never be their opponents.
But
Li Qing was very interested.
Of course, he is not seeking death, but, the secret induction from the universe in his palm, awakening spiritual energy is very critical to repairing the universe in his palm.
So although he knew that it was very dangerous to make deals with creatures in the subspace, considering that this was the induction given by the universe in his palm, he decided to take a risk.
So he opened his mouth and said:
"Can you tell me first, what price do I need to pay?"
You can clearly feel the joy of this subspace creature, he said:
"It's very simple. Within one year after I awaken your spiritual power for you, provide me with 100 souls full of wisdom. No clones or cyborgs are needed. Humans and other intelligent races will do."
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
The subspace creature crossed his arms and looked at the boy in front of him with confidence.
After a short silence, the hesitation on Xia Qi's face finally ended. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:
"I am willing to sign a contract with you!"
"Very good, you will soon know that this is a very wise decision, which will quickly make you surpass your fellow tribesmen and become the leader of the tribe!"
"So, how to wake up?"
"Accept my power!"
Two identical subspace creatures stretched out their fingers at the same time and touched the foreheads of Li Qing and Xia Qi. Suddenly, the light burst out and the subspace creatures exploded into a spiritual tide that drowned them, quickly turning into a ball like a tidal wave. The ball of light kept surging, and the spiritual energy flowed into countless tiny light strands and penetrated into their bodies. (End of chapter)
