Chapter 357 The Supreme God
“A scam, a movement to control the masses.”
Gortash saw through this so-called great blueprint, and all illithids are powerful minds. Masters of psychic powers, and their masterminds are more powerful and dangerous than any single illithid. With the unique physical advantages of psychic abilities of illithids, they can easily turn various races into slaves. This so-called great blueprint plan is nothing more than a more covert and dangerous deception.
Gortash saw through this. A simple great blueprint was indeed of no use to him, but the characteristics of the illithid described in this plan really made him interested in it. There is a lot of interest in this race, maybe...
A spark of inspiration flashed in Gotash's heart. While looking through the plan in his hand, he took out several books about illithids from the bookshelf next to him, including " "On Illithids·Volume 1 - Volume 4", "Manipulation and Confrontation of Psychic Powers", "How to Hunt and Kill Illithids", "Those Disgusting Brain-Eating Bastards".
Almost every book states that the Mind Flayer Empire is a horrific fantasy that is totalitarian slavery.
The Overmind is the only apex, other illithids are just ordinary citizens, and all other creatures are slaves, and therefore bear the labor force, experimental subjects, hatching tanks for new illithids, and food sources responsibilities.
This characteristic is enough to make this race the enemy of all intelligent creatures. When the empire established by the illithids still existed countless thousands of years ago, all other species of that era lived there. Under a reign of unparalleled terror.
However, faced with these words that could arouse ordinary people's hatred for illithids, Gotash was not infected by those fonts at all. Instead, he read with relish, and the immature plan once again emerged from his mind. It emerged from within and became more and more perfect in an instant.
“The illithid... is really a magical and perfect race. This absolute centralization reminds me of the devils in hell, but the mastermind of the illithid probably has more control over his subjects than the devil. The king needs to be even stronger.”
"But this is by no means a weakness. In fact, it is a perfect characteristic. The monarch has absolute authority. This is exactly the creed taught by our Lord Bane! And more importantly, if there is any creature that can stand in the mastermind On top of that, bringing the mastermind under control is equivalent to completely controlling an entire mind flayer society."
Gotash's expression gradually became excited, and he thought about what to do next! Only in this way can he stabilize his current precarious alliance status, and even more than that, he can use this to obtain higher interests.
With the power of the Crown of Karthus, he can completely change this so-called great blueprint. If he can control a mastermind with the Crown of Karthus, he can directly set off a low-end version of greatness. Blueprint plan!
“Once an illithid tadpole enters the brain of an intelligent creature, the tadpole’s host will transform into a complete adult illithid in just seven days. And because of their racial characteristics, With its innate psychic abilities, a newly born adult illithid can kill more than a dozen well-trained soldiers in a head-on battle."
This is an unparalleled feat! Advantages! If planned properly, Gotash can raise an extremely large army of illithids in a very short period of time! As long as he is given a little time to develop, he can completely control this army and directly capture Baldur's Gate!
"No, it can't be so rough. There are still many things that need to be improved in this plan. The first thing is to find a master brain. Only by gaining control of a master brain can this plan continue to develop."
"At the same time, even if the prerequisites are met, it is still unknown how many illithids a master brain can control, but I estimate that the number should not be too many. If the master brain controls the illithids without paying extra cost or energy, then this This kind of monster has probably successfully restored their so-called great empire."
"And the most critical point is that even if the previous two problems are solved, there will only be one crown and one crown. In the case of the mastermind, how do I, Xie Nian, and Catheric Som distribute control over this army?”
That’s an entire society of mind flayers! Out of the desire for power, it is estimated that no one among the three of them will easily give up control of that powerful legion. Although each of them has a gem that can control the mastermind, their individual strength is the weakest. The steel they invented The guards were not successfully put into the production line, and with only the Bann cultists under his command to use, he would never be able to gain much power. "You still need to plan carefully. I don't want to experience the kind of oolong incident that happened before. This plan is indeed very valuable. Whether it is evil thoughts or Keswick, they will definitely be interested. In this case... ”
Having said this, Gotash nodded silently. This own-goal incident did bring him severe psychological pressure, but fortunately, he finally found a way to deal with it.
Going ahead, Gotash immediately sent information about this plan to Evil Thought and Catherick through magical means.
The evil thoughts that were hunting did not respond to him immediately, but Katherine responded uncharacteristically quickly, which surprised Gotash, but soon he was no longer just surprised, but pleasantly surprised. ! Gotash was pleasantly surprised!
Kesric Thom actually said that there is a community of mind flayers under the Tower of Moonrise, which is the base camp he is currently occupying. This community is his recent one. Just discovered that not long ago, the undead under his command also reported that there is a suspected mastermind below the tower!
"What's going on? Did I get lucky! From the beginning my plans always went wrong to now when my dreams come true casually, the gap is too big, isn't it? Could it be that Ben is here? Protect me? Otherwise, why would I have such a dream?”
Gotash pinched himself, which made him sure that he was definitely not dreaming.
"This is really outrageous. The plan has not been fully thought out, but the main target is delivered directly to the door. It is a bit bizarre that this kind of thing happens one after another, but it has already happened. Continue There is no point in complaining, just take action and improve it slowly."
Gotash shook his head. Although these ideas were just born, he instinctively felt that this plan must be promising, so he took it. All you need to do is bring the crown to the mastermind's head, and your low-end version of the great blueprint plan can develop smoothly.
“By the way, before we fully implement the plan, it’s better to get some living illithids as experimental subjects. After all, the Crown of Karthus was made by humans. Although it is an artifact, now it doesn’t even have its original function. With such a big flaw, it is no longer possible to completely control those mind flayers or masterminds that are obviously aberrations."
"There are also tadpoles, this kind of illithid larvae also have great research value. , that illithid lich called Blue Vertex said that powerful magic may delay the development of tadpoles. If this is true, then I can use the king of Karsus to launch an unprecedented scam! "
"This will be a perfect plan that affects the people of the entire Northland, and will eventually radiate to the entire continent of Faerûn! I will create a god! A new god! And the control over Him will eventually fall to me. With one hand! This god will become: [Supreme God]!”
While thinking about this, Gotash immediately started the next step.
At the same time, Nohir in hell has finally returned to the holy city of Eltoril, and has begun preparations to bring the city back to the main material plane.
