Chapter 187 Shifen
Feeling the undisguised fire coming from afar, the nautilus screamed and stopped eating seaweed.
Its shell began to flip over, and parts and debris fell in large swaths. From the winding gaps, azure blue lightning light lit up, flowing through the body in an instant - and then, the full thunder light headed towards Concentrating on the top of the conch shell, a dazzling blue beam of light shot out!
This beam of light extended straight through three buildings in an instant, roaring towards the target.
In front of the suddenly rising sea of flames, this beam of light was slapped down hard.
The moment the two collided, a violent explosion rose. From the center of the collision, a ring-shaped shock wave carrying the spilled energy spread suddenly - the nearby buildings shook violently, as if they had been hit hard, and the blue water below that submerged the ruins of the city did the same. It exploded with a bang, causing waves to rise.
“——Too rough.”
Feeling the aftermath of the collision, Song Shi shook his head slightly.
The spiritual energy level contained in this "Nautilus" is huge, and the way it can be used is too crude. The seemingly powerful lightning strike just now could be said to be simply a matter of mobilizing psychic energy, and then managed to stick together and smash out.
Collapse at the first touch.
Realizing that the attack was ineffective, the Nautilus squirmed, its abdomen and legs suddenly released their attachment to the building, and the huge body fell downwards. It actually did not intend to fight anymore and prepared to escape into the sea water.
The next moment, a beam of red slashed across the sky, trailing for more than ten meters!
Time seems to have stopped for a moment.
The Nautilus suddenly froze, and a scorching mark slowly appeared on its huge shell - no, it was not just a "shell".
Just like a giant swung a sword that was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, a scratch appeared on the surface of the six-story building it adsorbed. This scratch split most of the building in two. It even extends all the way to the nautilus's body.
--laugh.
The world flows again.
The raging flames surged out from the scratches and swept in all directions in an instant. In just a few breaths, the entire building was completely enveloped in flames, like a torch standing in the sea.
Besides it, the Nautilus trembled feebly, and fell into the viscous seawater below amid the fierce flames that enveloped its body.
Then the building began to fall apart.
In the movement trajectory visible to the naked eye, plates of different sizes collapsed and fell. Some of them were reduced to ashes in mid-air, and some were not completely burned, just like meteorites that burst into the atmosphere and crashed into the sea water.
Amidst the dull noise, huge amounts of waves rose and fell, and it was not until a long time later that they slowly returned to calm.
Song Shi overlooked all this and casually snuffed out the flaming sword that was wrapped around Zhong Ji and spilled more than ten meters - the essence of the flaming sword is an "extended module" temporarily forged through the [Forging Flame] , specifically designed to target large targets.
It is a technique for using psychic powers.
It is a pity that I have never encountered any large units in this life. Back then, Gaboy was also good at "high-speed maneuvering" and "survival in complex environments". Unlike [Southern Region Heavy Industry], which surpassed almost everyone in the high-end It can drive giant mechas and create extraordinary structures such as shipboys, so I have never used this.
Moreover, my current spiritual power is indeed a bit poor, and I can't make anything like the ship-cutting knife in my previous life. Since it's not big enough, there's no need to use it.
“Oh, here it comes.” Song Shi suddenly raised his eyebrows.
A light ball suddenly appeared above the body of the Nautilus that fell into the sea water and was barely exposed.
Song Shi jumped up a few times in the ruins of the wall and leaned over. Before he could really touch it, the light ball flew over.
"The technology blueprint 'Grasshopper' aerodynamic short-range jetpack." Lapis Lazuli scanned it and gave his own judgment: "Not good. This technical direction is no longer novel, and the structure is nothing outstanding. The performance parameters are also average.”
Although it is not a scientific research-type omnic that specializes in research, it is at least a second-level demon. After waking up but before taking back his body, he collected and stored an extremely rich database of information in order to understand the current world situation. , there is still no problem in evaluating and judging common types of equipment.
But at this moment, Song Shi did not pay attention to the technological blueprint.
He closed his eyes and carefully felt the "light ball" that came with the technological blueprint in the center of his palm.
——This is the spiritual energy fed back by the Nautilus under the rules of the bottom of the abyss after killing it.
“Sure enough, it’s still so turbid.”
Song Shixin said.
The source of spiritual energy contained in these "derivatives" is the "redundant spiritual energy" that countless Internet users in the past were unconsciously attracted and invested in while surfing the Internet, including countless self-emotions and other impurities. .
They sank into the [Abyss] and were stitched together with a series of strange things such as broken programs, virus memes, software fragments, etc. to form "derivatives". In his hometown, the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation, or before the birth of the Federation, the ancient psykers there created a high-speed cultivation route called "Incense Enlightenment".
The so-called "incense" that comes from worship, prayer and sacrifice by believers is essentially redundant spiritual energy. The psykers who are the objects of sacrifice also need to be purified in various ways before they can be absorbed for use, otherwise it will be harmful - they call it "poisonous incense".
Now the route has not completely disappeared.
Even if you don’t count the state religion created by the Vampusta Empire with all their efforts, just look at the corporate alliance.
Song Shi is also clearly aware of the new religions composed of virtual idols, bloggers, artists, etc. of the giant enterprise [Generation of Dust Contract], coupled with big data analysis, public opinion incitement, user portraits, emotions and minds. Guidance and control, and targeted catering to believers - or fans, are also following this path.
Relying on this hand, although the quality is a bit lower, [Era of Dust Contract] has quickly upgraded a lot of middle and low-level psykers. The quality of the main product is not enough, so quantity is enough.
“It only contains a part of Nautilus’s spiritual power but it’s not particularly low.”
From Song Shi's palm, the forging flame quietly emerged, enveloping the light mass and burning it.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a clanging sound of wrought iron.
Under Song Shi's gaze, the light ball began to shrink little by little, and wisps of ashes floated out from time to time - these were impurities that were precipitated and burnt out during the calcination of the forging flames.
I don’t know how long it has been.
When the flame gradually extinguished, the light group was only one-tenth of its original size, but compared to its original turbidity, the luster it displayed at this moment could almost be called "pure".
Song Shi extinguished the light group.
Lapis Lazuli looked at Song Shi who raised his head slightly without disturbing him.
Until a certain moment.
“Huh”
Song Shi slowly exhaled.
He opened his eyes again, and the terrifying firelight disappeared in the depths of his pupils.
"Not bad. Very good."
The young man smiled and sincerely praised: "Just absorbing this amount is comparable to the progress of my own practice for half a day."
"The limit of one day?"
Song Shi said without hesitation: "At this level, ten points."
". Ten copies?" Lapis Lazuli was startled and said in disbelief: "Song Shi, are you sure? A derivative equivalent to the second ring, you can actually absorb ten copies?"
Beat this Derivatives of this level, the psionic energy fed back, under normal circumstances, a second-ring psyker would have to digest one portion for a long time to completely remove the impurities and turn it into its own power. It would be enough to absorb two portions a day. It has been called excellent.
——And the person in front of me is Shifen?
Lapis Lazuli hesitated for a moment and spoke cautiously: "Song Shi, regardless of your own limits in a short period of time, absorbing too much redundant spiritual energy will damage the purity of your own spiritual energy. You are talented enough. I'm young enough, there's no need."
"Thank you for your teachings."
Song Shi was startled, and then he couldn't help but shake his head: "But don't worry about this, I'm not a guy who doesn't know how to measure."
He smiled and said: "I am a very measured person. ”
Before Lapis Lazuli could answer, Song Shi pulled out the heavy sword inserted aside, and the red-gold flames reappeared, flowing freely.
“—Lapis Lazuli, prepare to find the next derivative.”
“Originally, I planned to spend a year accumulating and break through to the third level of ‘control’”< br>
Song Shi's voice was filled with undisguised joy.
“Now it seems that it may be completed in three months!”
