Chapter 395 Repairing the Crack
Chen Ming tore Wang Guanghe's body into pieces and extinguished the part of consciousness that controlled the body.
His face was darker than before.
At any other time, Chen Ming wouldn't have cared about threats like brainwashed psykers.
But it happened to be a time when he was sure that he would never have any extra energy to deal with these things in the future.
The trouble of scarlet tearing space invasion is still before him.
He wants to deal with the Crimson Invasion in order to prevent his planet from being affected near the invaded area.
But if Zuo Jing's brainwashing psyker had a way to directly bring Scarlet's influence over, then what he did would be meaningless.
And this is most likely not alarmist or lying to him, because the test results conducted by Chen Ming are already obvious.
He brought Wang Guanghe into the scarlet dimension.
Even if it's just a little distance away, it's still dangling on the edge of the space barrier between phase space and scarlet dimension.
But in any case, Wang Guanghe has definitely entered the scarlet dimension, and there is an eye in the scarlet dimension that can cause a large-scale scarlet infection to appear on the satellite just by looking at it.
He could still act like a normal person and ask why he was brought in.
The reasons for this need not be explained at all.
Chen Ming used An Wuping's identity to go to the Caimo Star Territory in the empire to deal with the dimensional infection incident created by Zuo Jing.
At that time, he saw a psyker whose codename was Zhen on the left path.
Part of Zhen's body had been infected by scarlet and turned into tentacles of flesh and blood, but he still maintained his consciousness and clashed with him.
Under normal circumstances, death always precedes infection for psychics.
Therefore, there is definitely some special connection between Zuo Jing and Scarlet.
The brainwashed psyker may have also been exposed to the scarlet dimension and strengthened his psychic abilities through the power of the scarlet dimension.
This is the conjecture verified by Chen Ming.
Chen Ming's own identity is special. The spiritual energy he awakened was related to dimensions from the beginning, so he can use spiritual energy even though he is countless light years away.
But brainwashed psykers obviously did not have such abilities in the past
He did it only after a certain point.
Now the reason has been completely determined.
And if the brainwashing psyker is really connected to Scarlet, it can indeed cause the disaster of dimensional infection to break out in any place affected by his psychic power.
Just like Chen Ming himself did when facing Leviathan.
The brainwashed psyker was now forcing him to make a choice.
Let him be forced to make a choice that must involve losses once again.
He has been forced to give up the rescue of the satellite that has now been completely integrated with negative matter.
Now he is forced to abandon the colonies and planets he worked so hard to build.
He has no other choice.
Because he knew that the loss would be greater, losing his own planet or losing control of the invading scarlet matter.
This is not the choice Chen Ming wants to make at all, but the pressure of the environment is constantly forcing him to make the choice that the brainwashed psyker told him to choose.
This is also the most troublesome situation in having a base of your own.
If Chen Ming was alone, with only the Zerg, Yuhui and Machine Race for company, he wouldn't need to consider these issues at all.
But when he has these, he has to take them into consideration.
What Chen Ming is afraid of now is that when he is dealing with Scarlet's trouble, the brainwashed psyker will...
He couldn't be distracted by the sudden outbreak of trouble and deal with Scarlet elsewhere.
Although he has protected every planet and space station, he cannot protect everyone.
Even if he left it alone, the worst result would be the destruction of these planets.
But these planets and colonies are the fruit of his years of hard work.
If there is a loss in the middle, the trouble caused by either making up for the loss or rebuilding may completely ruin his idea.
Chen Ming has always believed in one thing.
If a strong person cannot take into account these aspects, then he is not considered a strong person.
He used to think that he was strong enough and that he could protect those close to him when necessary.
But now it seems... he is not strong enough.
Even though his psychic powers are so powerful that no one in the Empire can confront him head-on, there are still ways to make him make decisions that he doesn't want to do.
This is Zuo Jing, this is Zuo Jing's true leader, the method of brainwashing psykers.
Chen Ming took a deep breath. Throw away the messy thoughts and calm down.
Things are definitely not at their worst yet.
Because he suddenly realized something.
There's nothing wrong with what the brainwashing psyker said, and there's certainly nothing wrong with what he can do.
But how can he do it? What price do you need to pay along the way? What kind of losses will there be?
These are the key.
If he could really release the scarlet infection to any corner of the world at will, even to his own side, then the empire would have already started to have dimensional infections break out everywhere.
It was his turn to be the first to "enjoy" the psychic effects from a brainwashed psyker.
Fundamentally speaking, the biggest conflict with Zuo Jing is not him, but the empire.
The empire is the biggest enemy that has been in constant conflict with Zuojie since hundreds and thousands of years ago.
Did Zuo Jing really have the means not to go to the empire immediately and release the scarlet infection in several important colonies of the empire, but to come to him instead? Find him, the person who is most familiar with scarlet in the empire.
If the brainwashing psyker brainwashed some people to infiltrate, then Chen Ming didn't find it normal.
It is impossible for him to carefully observe whether everyone behaves strangely in their daily activities. At most, he can only pay attention to the people he cares about occasionally.
But if it is scarlet.
Chen Ming had absolute confidence that Scarlet would not be able to avoid his detection and infiltrate into his territory.
As long as any bit of scarlet dares to appear within the range covered by his psychic energy, he will be able to detect it immediately.
He could say in the most arrogant tone that no one in the entire empire had been exposed to more scarlet than him.
He had just been misled by the brainwashed psyker's words.
There is no way a brainwashed psyker could easily release the Crimson.
Although the president also encountered the Scarlet Invasion, given the familiarity and advanced level of Chen Ming and the president who had worked together for so long, it was simply a Scarlet Invasion with the space barrier torn apart, rather than a sudden appearance. The coming dimension is infected.
Releasing scarlet infection on the left path will definitely come at a huge cost.
The scarlet that Chen Ming releases himself is limited and is not as contagious. In other words, it is simply not as contagious as the scarlet material from the genuine scarlet dimension.
Unless the brainwashed psyker really allows himself to become a part of the Crimson, it would be impossible to use the absorbed Crimson power to spread the infection.
He doesn't need to worry so much.
But Chen Ming was still a little scared, because he really almost got caught.
It was obvious that he was just saying a few words to someone, but he almost really ignored the circumstances and limitations of the objective conditions.
It seems that chatting with the enemy is okay for other people, but not for brainwashing psykers who specialize in deceit, abduction, preaching and brainwashing.
If you have the chance, kill him directly without giving him a chance to force you to do anything.
After Chen Ming calmed down and thought about it carefully, the danger of Scarlet was indeed still there.
Even he can pay a considerable price to actively cause dimensional infection, but the degree of danger is acceptable.
Even if he suffers a loss today, he can still find a way to make up for the loss.
And make Left Path pay more.
But this alone is not enough.
He wanted to preserve more of everything he had, and he went up to confront Scarlet just to avoid trouble in his hometown.
Chen Ming's goal was never to completely eliminate Scarlet, he was not that arrogant.
Now he can't even stay in Scarlet for a long time and solve Scarlet's pure delusion.
All he actually has to do is repel Scarlet, close Scarlet's gap, and then retreat.
If necessary, you can even discard this scarlet body at will,
The existence of his conscious body can leave any body and enter any body at any time. This is the confidence for him to do so.
If he repels Scarlet efficiently enough, he might even have time to catch up with the changes in the satellite's situation.
It can also prevent the scarlet matter from guiding the negative matter and causing the planet to turn into a black hole again.
Chen Ming thought for a long time, but based on the intensity of his consciousness and the speed of his thinking, this long time was only less than a second in the normal universe.
He made a decision.
He ignored the words of the brainwashed psyker, and controlled the scavenger, which had become a flesh-and-blood machine, to rush into the scarlet again.
What is smelted in the giant furnace that looks like a glowing pupil at the core of the Scavenger is no longer metal, but the materials of the phase beast that he brought with his spiritual energy. Of course, all of them are artificially synthesized phase beast materials.
These things themselves have the property of resisting scarlet. After smelting, these effects are not weakened, but will resist scarlet in a more efficient way.
The furnace, which originally emitted a blazing orange light, spewed out a special blue-purple flame like a planetary engine, burning everything scarlet.
The scavenger, who originally still had half of his body on the other side of the spatial rift, also completely entered the scarlet dimension.
Chen Ming finally saw the full picture of the scarlet eyes.
It just doesn't look special, just a huge eyeball, followed by some messy flesh and blood tissue.
The most special thing about it is the scarlet impact of his gaze.
Chen Ming even suspected that this eye was the eye that the president crawled back to the scarlet dimension after throwing the entire galaxy into other dimensions when the empire was first infected by the dimension.
Of course he had no evidence.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as the threat of the scarlet dimension to the normal universe is not eliminated, this creature that wanders in the scarlet dimension and has its eyes on him will always be on Chen Ming's must-kill list.
As Chen Ming controlled the flesh and blood mechanical scavenger to enter the scarlet, and relied on the scavenger's core furnace to release a huge amount of phase material to penetrate back into the scarlet.
The Scarlet Eye, which was injured by this phase material, finally launched a counterattack.
A circle of blood-red material appeared in its giant black-red pupils, without any other substantial observable phenomena.
But Chen Ming's mental energy was being consumed at a rate that was nearly ten times higher than before.
The power of the Scarlet Eye comes from looking at it.
Its gaze carries psychic power. All Chen Ming could do was use his mental power to collide with its gaze.
This kind of confrontation of pure psychic power has no actual combat skills at all, only explosive ability impact and long-lasting endurance with mental power as the core foundation.
In this process, Chen Ming also had to devote part of his attention to completely sealing the space rift leading to the phase space behind him.
But Chen Ming just had such an idea.
Countless scarlet substances suddenly flowed out from the flesh and blood tissue behind the eyeballs that seemed to be glued to the eyeballs, as if blood was flowing.
This is not the scarlet substance that fills this scarlet dimension, but a substance that is unique to the purpose of scarlet and is highly contagious and threatening.
After they gathered to a certain extent on the fleshy surface of the Scarlet Eye, they exploded into clouds of blood mist like blood bubbles exploding, rushing towards Chen Ming's scavengers.
Each mass of blood mist is not pure blood red, but is also mixed with countless pale white substances.
These white substances are not anything special, but the whites of tiny eyeballs.
In this scene where people with trypophobia might go crazy at a glance, Chen Ming also suppressed the feeling of discomfort in his heart.
He also controlled Leviathan to release a large amount of phase matter to block it, forming a fiery blue-purple fire network around him.
With a steady supply of external resources, the scavenger's furnace can continue to burn for a long time.
But immediately, Chen Ming discovered that not all of the tiny eyeballs that made up the blood mist were directed at him. The attacks of a considerable part of the eyeballs directly bypassed him and rushed into the phase space.
Chen Ming was still wondering what these eyeballs were going to do.
When he blocks the gap in the space and prevents these eyeballs from being supported by the subsequent scarlet power, they will only be killed by the nature of the phase space itself after entering the phase space, and they will not be able to make any waves at all.
Anyway, he had already closed the gap between phase space and the normal universe. The people on the satellite had sent them away long before he sent the satellite into phase space, and the animals and plants on it had all been infected by scarlet.
What is the use of these eyeballs entering phase space?
Chen Ming doesn't know clearly, but the more he clears the enemy of what he has to do, the less likely he is to let it do it.
The scavengers simply took this opportunity to retreat, rolling the blue-purple flames burning the phase monster material into and outside the opened space rift, burning the seemingly endless amount of blood mist and the tiny eyeballs in the blood mist.
If a dimensional infection occurs on a certain planet, and so many eyeballs are randomly scattered in places where everything should be normal, it will be a huge trouble for the people who have to deal with them.
But at this time, these completely unsupported eyeballs could only wander randomly in the space, allowing Chen Ming to easily clear them completely.
Although Chen Ming's scavenger's retreat allowed Scarlet Eye to seize the opportunity and take a step closer to the spatial rift.
But Chen Ming also took this opportunity to separate the outer ring structure that belonged to the scavenger layer and was used to collect small celestial bodies in space.
Then use the effects of psychic energy to carry out multiple transformations on this layer of structure that is already intertwined with flesh and machinery.
A plurality of miniaturized furnaces are built on an entire ring-shaped structure. Each furnace is burning the material of the phase beast, and uses this blue-purple flame to purify all scarlet things that try to pass through the gaps.
Immediately afterwards, another ring-shaped structure broke away from the scavenger's body, and another blue-purple fire ring appeared near the gap, temporarily blocking the space gap from another angle.
And on the body of the scavenger, more and more transformations made by Chen Ming based on today's combat needs are also appearing.
As long as Chen Ming is given a little more time, he can block everything that belongs to scarlet back into the scarlet dimension purely by relying on the loss of materials.
He was no longer the weak psyker who almost suffered a nervous breakdown within half a second of being exposed to scarlet.
He is now able to rely on the support of the power behind him to compete with the Scarlet Dimension.
Just then.
The Scarlet Eye suddenly and flexibly mobilized the power belonging to the Scarlet Dimension.
Most of these powers are absorbed by it itself, and are rapidly transformed into tiny eyeballs that are constantly proliferating in the flesh and blood tissue behind its eyeballs.
The other part, one after another, rushed towards the two ring structures burning with blue and purple flames that Chen Ming had just thrown out.
The power of the flames on the ring structure instantly weakened under the suppression of scarlet.
Even with the material provided by Chen Ming to assist combustion, it can't compare to Scarlet's home field advantage.
The Scavenger has a total of three levels of equipment used to capture asteroids.
Just when Chen Ming was about to release the third ring of fire, the Scarlet Eye, which was not far away, suddenly collided with it at an extremely fast speed, and had a head-on physical reload with the scavenger.
The third fire ring was directly shattered by the impact of the Scarlet Eye's flesh and could not be used again.
Although the burning ring of fire left a deathly black scar on the white of the giant eyeball.
The flames gushing from the scavenger's core furnace caused the pupils of the giant eyeball to change from black-red to deathly pale.
But soon, countless broken and tiny eyeballs flowing with thick liquid were separated, and countless new eyeballs grew again on the wound.
The Scarlet Eye's condition has not deteriorated at all.
In this scarlet dimension that belongs to him, it is definitely not a wise choice to fight against scarlet creatures.
But Chen Ming's purpose is indeed not to fight against it.
Instead, find a way to repel it first, and then take the opportunity to seal the space rift.
Now it is giving the opportunity to avoid the appearance of the third ring of fire, then...
wrong.
Chen Ming suddenly discovered that the scarlet matter just now was not colliding with the ring structure he released just to break into the phase space.
They did not go further through the space rift, they entangled in the space rift, intertwined like flesh and blood that had just grown.
As if weaving a web, he used flesh, muscle, and nerves to repair the gap in the space.
This is not just a disguised repair, but a real means to repair the space gap.
The Scarlet Eye is actively repairing the gap and closing the rift leading to the phase space.
This is what Chen Ming wants to do.
But when Scarlet Eyes did this, Chen Ming only felt his scalp numb.
Because it is the scarlet substance that repairs
He could feel that his mental connection to the normal universe was getting weaker and weaker.
Chen Ming immediately understood what Scarlet wanted to do.
He did not dare to make any more unnecessary movements, and immediately controlled the scavengers to turn around and rush towards the space rift that had not been completely sealed.
However, before the scavenger could completely turn his head, the scarlet eyes struck the scavenger's body just like before.
It no longer only puts pressure on Chen Ming's mental strength with its pure gaze, but is really trying its best to block Chen Ming within the scarlet.
Three actions, three impacts, before the scavengers could even get close to the gap, the last crack was forcibly repaired by the Scarlet Dimension.
At this time, Chen Ming's connection with everything in the normal universe was almost severed.
Although it has not been completely disconnected, at this time, he is no longer able to contact everything he controls in the normal universe in the scarlet that is completely isolated from the normal universe.
His consciousness was sealed within the Crimson, and he could no longer take advantage of the convenience of his psychic powers.
The scavenger's blue-violet flames gradually extinguished.
Chen Ming can no longer easily send things from the normal universe to Scarlet.
Leviathan lost its fuel and became a pile of scrap metal and dead flesh. ,
Chen Ming's heart sank.
This is something that has never happened before.
Scarlet's goal has always been to invade, but now he is taking the initiative to cut off the invasion.
Such abnormal behavior... made him need to face the power of scarlet.
Scarlet is the ocean of psychic knowledge, capable of bringing about madness.
But this does not mean that all creatures living in scarlet are only crazy creatures.
They must also have means of communication.
No matter who it is with...
Zuo Jing's brainwashed psyker really used all means to lead him into the pit one by one.
Every step is a pitfall that Chen Ming has never seen before, and every step is on a road that Chen Ming has no idea about.
He's in trouble.
at this time.
On the ship of the leader of negative matter... or the leader who was controlled by brainwashed psykers, leaving the Gaia galaxy.
The brainwashed psyker was holding the communicator and looking at the content on it.
Apparently they had communicated.
At this time, the brainwashed psychic asked on the communicator: "Do you have any opinions?"
"No, this matter only concerns you, we don't want to get involved."
The brainwashed psyker shook his head and said: "I really don't know why you are afraid of using this kind of power. If you fail, you will just die."
The Survivors did not answer the brainwashed psykers' reasons as to why they did not use the dimensional infection power.
But suddenly they answered his last question.
"The planet Gaia, where self-awareness exists, has a fairy tree on it. It is the most valuable planet in Chen Ming's hands. This is the best place for infection."
"Then this is it."
The brainwashed psyker said this and adjusted his own psychic powers.
In fact, no matter how the survivor answered, he already had the answer in his heart.
The words he said before really scared Chen Ming.
There are not that many opportunities to create dimensional infection, especially creating dimensional infection multiple times in front of a person who has experienced dimensional infection many times, this is simply an act of seeking death.
Even for brainwashed psykers.
If he really has the idea of creating dimensional infections many times, Chen Ming will definitely track his location and be crushed to death.
He is indeed inferior to Chen Ming in terms of combat effectiveness.
But in terms of cunning and cunning, Chen Ming was not worthy of carrying his shoes.
So he knew that he only had one chance, and he had to use it in the most critical place.
Gaia planet.
There are not many people on the planet Gaia, but there are countless things full of value.
The brainwashed psyker held his forehead slightly, feeling the pain of tearing his consciousness, and nodded slightly.
This is the price he must pay for using his psychic powers.
