Chapter 293 The Power of Dimension
Chen Ming returned to his steel jungle on an isolated island suspended in space.
Compared to the last time I came in, the area of the island has more than doubled.
Moreover, the density and height of the steel trees on the isolated island have increased significantly.
The island in the consciousness space and the steel trees on the island represent Chen Ming's spiritual strength.
That means he's improved a lot since the last time he came in.
And in the center of the isolated island.
The mountain formed by the wreckage of the spacecraft is also higher than before.
Even at the foot of the mountain, in the previously empty area around it, there were many more man-made buildings.
If Chen Ming remembers correctly, these buildings are all from the mechanical race.
This should be the form of the hive consciousness of the mechanical race with him as the core in his consciousness space.
Chen Ming could also see the shadow of the ship spirit walking between these buildings.
After discovering that Chen Ming had entered the consciousness space station, it immediately flew to Chen Ming's side, circled around Chen Ming a few times, then returned to the buildings and continued to be busy.
Now Chen Ming knew where the boat spirit usually went when he was not on the boat. He just stayed in his consciousness space.
It manages these mechanical structures of consciousness space.
These mechanical clan buildings have created some mechanical clans that are collecting raw materials in the steel forest.
The ship spirit seems to want to build something.
Although Chen Ming didn't know what the use was, it would not be harmful to him.
After reading these changes on the island.
Chen Ming's eyes moved into the distance.
Some distance away from the island, something was approaching him.
It was a biological spacecraft belonging to the Zerg race that was slightly smaller than the isolated island in the Iron Jungle.
That biological spaceship is the external manifestation of the Insect Queen in the consciousness space.
When Chen Ming used the source of condensed spiritual energy to connect the Insect Queen and himself through consciousness, the Insect Queen also appeared here as a matter of course.
Chen Ming roughly estimated that the insect queen's biological spaceship was about half the size of the isolated island.
Chen Ming's isolated island is at least a hundred kilometers in diameter, and its height is about half of the diameter.
Such a biological battleship that is half the size of his cone-shaped island is indeed a bit exaggerated.
This giant Zerg biological battleship is more terrifying than the battleship.
Of course, this biological battleship only appears in the consciousness space, not in reality.
Chen Ming confirmed that there were no other new changes in his consciousness space compared to the last time he came here.
He looked at the recipient who was the reason why he came to this place and also existed in this consciousness space.
He is just opposite Chen Ming's island.
But the external manifestation of his conscious space is not an island.
Rather, it is a giant brain suspended in the universe, close at hand on a cosmic scale.
Just looking at the size, this brain is even bigger than Chen Ming's island.
And around the brain, there are several rings of stars composed of biological flesh and blood, enveloping the brain.
As long as you look carefully, you can find that almost all the flesh and blood tissue of these star rings are composed of intestines.
If Chen Ming guessed correctly.
These intestines should be the source organs of the recipient's dimensional infection.
This is the performance of the recipient in the consciousness space.
Chen Ming can feel that the recipient is not just the part that represents the ability in the consciousness space, but has become the brain.
The body in the consciousness space has lost its human shape and become a monster, fused with the huge brain.
I saw a gap near the top of the brain that was slowly approaching Chen Ming's island, and a huge bloodshot eye suddenly opened in the gap.
Those flesh and blood star rings are trembling with excitement, and the power of dimensional infection is also stirring with the trembling of those intestines.
It seems that it is constantly leaking to the outside world through this space of consciousness.
This doesn't seem to be a good sign, Chen Ming needs to go faster.
While Chen Ming was staring at his brain.
The brain's eyes also saw Chen Ming's isolated island and the steel jungle.
Contempt appeared in his eyes.
But soon, his eyes changed because he noticed something was wrong.
Before the recipient became a Roshan, he had been paying attention to all aspects of intelligence.
As for An Wuping, who followed Zuo Jing all the way, slaughtered Zuo Jing all the way, was abducted by Qianmian, and finally rebelled, he was naturally the one who paid the most attention.
The consciousness space of such a physically mutated psyker should not be this steel jungle.
And when he saw the mountain formed by the wreckage of the spaceship in the center of the steel jungle, he completely confirmed this idea.
I only heard a slow, doubtful, heavy, and tired voice coming from my brain: "You are not... An Wuping? But... the insect nest... No, it is not... you are a machine? Who are you...? ”
At this time, Chen Ming, who was in the steel jungle, relied on his control of the consciousness space to reach the top of the wreckage mountain in an instant.
He didn't say anything, just stood here.
"Chen...Ming..."
"I should have thought of..."
"No one... would follow us like a mad dog..."
"You... deserve to die..."
After the brain finished speaking, he stopped talking and quickly approached the island.
Even because of the distance advantage, the giant floating brain arrived in front of the island in the blink of an eye.
In front of the brain, an abyss-like gap filled with sharp teeth opened vertically, as if it wanted to swallow the island in one gulp.
At this time, Chen Ming could feel that his mental power was about to collide with the recipient's mental power.
The island and the brain are, after all, only the outer manifestations of the psychic power of the psyker in the space of consciousness.
All means that appear to be physical confrontations are all manifestations of mental power.
What is really fighting is the most essential spiritual power of Chen Ming and the recipient.
At this time, before the two sides completely fight, one of them still has a chance to give up a lot of mental energy and escape.
And when the existence of two consciousness spaces comes into contact and the mental power of the two psychics is completely locked, only one person can get out alive.
Chen Ming concentrated his mental power without hesitation. The steel jungle was like a living thing under his control.
A large steel thorn grew crazily at the spot where the brain crack was about to bite.
Who lives and who dies? There is only one answer for him.
The moment two behemoths collided.
The brain was bitten off in one bite, and at the same time, a sharp whistle sounded as the steel was torn and twisted.
The bloody mouth of the brain also looked like blood was flowing horizontally.
And the large number of intestinal star rings surrounding the brain were torn apart by these steel thorns, spraying blood.
A missile rose into the sky, drew an arc in the air, and hit the brain accurately.
This is not a true missile.
Instead, it was the ship spirit in the consciousness space, which used its mental power combined with part of Chen Ming's mental power to create an attack on the recipient at the mental level.
It is just the external manifestation of the consciousness space that transforms this attack into the form that is subjectively easiest to see the effect and most acceptable to Chen Ming.
As the first missile took off, more and more missiles appeared in Chen Ming's consciousness space, whizzing towards his brain.
In addition, Ship Spirit also began to manufacture more complex and diverse weapons and equipment, that is, using more complex and more efficient means of mental attacks.
The isolated island even became a fire fortress under the transformation of the ship spirit, fighting against the abnormal alien creatures.
Even though he was attacked by Chen Ming and the Ship Spirit at the same time, the recipient still controlled his brain and constantly tried to encroach on Chen Ming's island.
But he soon discovered that the damage caused to the island every time he tore off the steel was completely incomparable to the damage the island in turn caused to him.
Even though his size indicates that the amount of his mental power even exceeds that of Chen Ming.
But the quality of Chen Ming's mental power was several times higher than his.
Under such a ratio of mental power exchange, the ending if he continues like this will not be any different from his ending outside.
and.
At this moment, the giant biological spacecraft of the Insect Queen finally arrived near Chen Ming's isolated island.
Mighty plasma acid cannons, countless biological missiles, biological fighters, and countless insect eggs were all sprayed into the recipient's brain by the insect queen in an instant.
The power from the Queen of Insects was directed at the brain clinging to the edge of the island and bombarded it repeatedly, shattering pieces of flesh and blood.
There are also a large number of parasites that enter the brain along the cracks torn by other flying insects on the surface of the brain, constantly destroying the structure of the brain.
The parasite seems to be parasitizing, but in fact the queen is piercing the mental power of the recipient, disrupting his control of the mental power.
The recipient has been unable to gain an advantage in Chen Ming's hands from the beginning.
This was even more true after the Insect Queen joined the battlefield. The arrival of the Insect Queen became the last straw that broke the mule's back.
The recipient's brain has begun to decay.
This means that his mental power has begun to dry up, and he is about to enter death halfway like him in reality.
The madness that can be seen by the one eye in the center of the recipient's brain becomes more and more serious.
Even if he is going to die, he must not be the only one who dies.
That crazy and resentful gaze fell on Chen Ming, who was sitting on the top of the mountain of the wreckage of the spacecraft.
All the exposed flesh and blood tissue on the giant brain suddenly began to shrink, and all the intestinal star rings retracted into the brain.
The victim's mental power was fully turned into defense, but a dimensional infection power that Chen Ming was very familiar with filled all parts of the brain.
The recipient's mental power is still declining.
But just before this mental power completely decayed, a crack suddenly opened in the center of the giant brain from beginning to end.
But this time, what was behind the crack was not an eyeball, a huge mouth, or flesh and blood.
But Chen Ming once saw the pitch-black abyss exuding dots of scarlet starlight.
That's another dimension. Chen Ming was completely unable to resist the power of the dimension, and the endless suction from the crack dragged his consciousness into the abyss.
"Die...with me..."
These were the last words Chen Ming heard before being dragged into the abyss.
His consciousness was being torn and dragged wildly as he was dragged into the abyss.
There were horrific scars on his consciousness,
He struggled desperately, using his mental power as an anchor to constantly root himself on the way to being swallowed into the abyss.
However, these anchor points failed to delay him in the slightest. After suffering heavy damage, his consciousness was finally dragged into the scarlet abyss and came into contact with the little bit of red starlight.
Just half a second after Chen Ming's consciousness came into contact with the unknown dimension.
The recipient's mental power was completely exhausted, and the aura of death appeared on his body.
This is the price he pays for opening the rift in the abyss.
At this time, the suction force on consciousness finally stopped.
Chen Ming, who had just come into contact with another dimension, immediately escaped from the abyss with the help of the anchor point he had just established.
After being rescued by the boat spirit, he returned to his isolated island.
And it was in this short period of less than one second.
All the steel forests on the entire island in Chen Ming's consciousness space turned into scarlet rust.
This is a sign of complete mental exhaustion.
Chen Ming is now persisting purely by willpower.
But there is an upper limit to willpower.
Chen Ming's mental energy has been exhausted to this point, and his willpower cannot persist forever. He will not be able to hold on.
Even destroying the recipient at the spiritual level did not use such a huge amount of mental power, but the half second of contact with the scarlet abyss almost caused him to die there.
The ship spirit eagerly surrounded Chen Ming's conscious body, and a gentle spiritual power continued to heal Chen Ming's mental damage.
But Chen Ming couldn't resist in the end, and his consciousness suddenly left the conscious space.
At this moment when he was out of consciousness.
Whether it was An Wuping, the prosthesis of the Fourteenth Legion, or Chen Ming himself, they all collapsed on the ground at the same time, gasping for air.
Chen Ming's eyes trembled unconsciously, and his hands continued to tremble as he forced himself to get up from the ground.
The terminal next to him that had just fallen to the ground was making the sound of an incoming call.
Chen Ming didn't care.
He suddenly seemed to realize something. He no longer needed to rely on the starry sky rift on the origin of the condensed spiritual energy transformed by the ship spirit.
He could directly rely on his will to force his way back into the consciousness space.
The Ship Spirit was still healing the scars on his consciousness.
Chen Ming's conscious body stood up.
He looked at the location of the recipient just now.
After the death of the recipient, the corpse of the giant brain has left the island, suspended in the universe, and is slowly decomposing pure mental power.
Everything looks fine.
A closed rift already existed in his conscious space.
During the decomposition of the brain's body, the crack did not disappear, but was closed and continued to be suspended there.
From that crack, there was a tiny amount of power belonging to that dimension that his consciousness space could withstand enough to absorb was leaking.
He seemed to...become the heir to the power of dimensional infection.
But it seems inappropriate to say it is inheritance.
Because the recipient did not transfer the power to him, but the recipient used the power of his own dimensional infection to open the gap to another dimension.
Chen Ming's consciousness was dragged to another dimension, another crazy and chaotic dimension.
The madness in this dimension is not pure madness, but a kind of madness that "has it all."
It's like a library full of books.
Ordinary libraries let people go in to search and read at will.
The moment you enter this library, all knowledge will flow into the brain of the person who enters it for no reason.
This is madness.
Of course, it is not appropriate to call it knowledge.
Because these things are not organized knowledge in Chen Ming's personal experience.
Rather, it is closer to allowing the human body to experience an additional feeling, and to experience the existence of psychic effects and psychic knowledge from the feelings.
It's because some people can't bear this feeling.
As a result, all the cells of that person that contain everything in the human body are completely filled up under the influence of this "knowledge", and lose their original function.
It has become flesh and blood that cannot be completely finalized.
This is what Chen Ming has never understood, why once something related to psychic energy goes wrong, all kinds of flesh and blood tissue will appear.
These flesh and blood filled with "knowledge" cannot be understood by ordinary people.
But this is the truth.
Chen Ming really felt this this time.
And in that terrifying world, he acquired the upper limit of "knowledge" that he could bear. It was this knowledge that gave him the power from the dimensional infection.
He obtained this power by himself, and the recipient only gave him the key to the library door.
The power of dimensional infection that truly belongs to the recipient has completely dissipated... no, it has been dissipated to the outside world.
Although Chen Ming's mental power is still in a state of exhaustion, after overcoming the limit and being fed back by the mental power after the death of the body, his consciousness is now extremely active.
He was thinking.
Thinking about the fraction of a second he entered that dimension.
In less than a second, Chen Ming saw a lot of unknown things, which were clogging his brain and making his brain think.
Only thinking can activate his brain, allowing him to relieve the pain of his brain being full.
In his view, having mastered new knowledge, the statement about the power of dimensional infection is wrong.
This power actually comes from the power of that dimension, the power of the dimension.
Chen Ming's mental power suddenly weakened again.
But as his mental power weakened, the effects of the psychic powers he mastered were significantly enhanced.
Chen Ming relied on the power of dimensions to further his understanding of his own psychic abilities,
He finally understood why the Afterglow Core controlled by him could not use psychic transmission.
The reason is also very simple, that is, from the moment he first awakened, his spiritual energy was linked to this dimension that gave him new power.
It is through this dimension that he transports materials across thousands of light-years in the normal universe.
Although Chen Ming's current knowledge cannot explain why his spiritual energy is involved in this dimension.
But he was sure that was what happened in real time.
And in such a dimension filled with crazy "knowledge", if an individual with independent consciousness enters and is dragged into the abyss, death will only be its final destination.
Individuals with hive consciousness such as the Zerg also use the hive mind network built with Chen Ming as the core to preserve the consciousness of sub-individuals, transport the body without consciousness and stuff the consciousness back to ensure safety.
Then things are actually simple.
Chen Ming patted the boat spirit who had been helping him recover, and his consciousness returned to reality.
His psychic energy fluctuations mobilized some of the dimensional power he currently controls, protecting a gamma-level individual on the far side of the brilliance, and protecting the consciousness in the core of Afterglow.
The next moment, a gamma-level afterglow core appeared in Chen Ming's palm.
The individual consciousness inside is still alive.
This is what Chen Ming learned from dimensional infection.
And that's not all.
Chen Ming put away the afterglow core and gathered the power of the dimension in his palm.
He waved his arm in front of him, and a deep abyss appeared in front of him.
His psychic powers are no longer limited to using the ability to transform to transport materials, but can also use the power of dimensions to transport directly.
Chen Minggang wanted to step in.
But just before he stepped inside, he paused.
Not enough.
His abilities weren't enough to protect him in that dimension, and the perception of danger was stimulating his brain.
It's not that Chen Ming doesn't have enough mental strength to teleport.
But there
Something will come to trouble him
Those who actually create dimensional infections may be the existence of native organisms in this dimension.
Chen Ming's current ability is not enough to escape from their hands,
It still can't directly use psychic energy to teleport himself.
Although the mark of the dimensional infection coordinates shows his own body.
But the mark of this dimension for him is his consciousness.
As long as his consciousness enters, something will definitely happen.
I don’t know what those who can survive in this dimension are.
All I can say is.
After coming into contact with the power of the dimension, Chen Ming's own power has begun to change in even more outrageous directions.
In fact, the changes in the repairing psionic power can already be seen before. How can the repairing psionic power directly repair the essence of something?
So the modification ability became something close to space ability. Chen Ming immediately accepted it.
Presumably it won't be long before Chen Ming's other spiritual powers will also undergo new changes with the blessing of dimensional power.
It just takes time for him to get familiar with it, that's all.
However, Chen Ming suddenly discovered that he seemed to have something on hand that could be explained directly through the knowledge he acquired in that dimension without him being familiar with psychic powers.
For example, when Qian Mian recreated An Wuping's spiritual energy, what was reproduced was not the Insect Queen's spiritual energy, but a single spiritual energy that combined all of An Wuping's abilities.
This special situation seems to be related to Chen Ming himself.
