High Above Chapter 300

  Chapter 300 The Fate of the Star Seeker (54, 1w5 update, the ruins are basically over)

  Although he said that he was different from the will of the hive, Ian had indeed been eroded by the other party's spiritual energy a lot.

  The only thing that was beyond the expectations of the worm nest was actually only one thing—it integrated the memories of the Great Elder and all those who were swallowed by him in the past, and together, Ian was not as crazy as Ian alone.

  Although the other party was holding a sword, he looked rational, objective, calm and indifferent, but this monster felt a kind of fear towards Ian.

  Because of the other party's madness, it was close to accomplishing an 'impossible thing'.

  Through the spiritual contact just now, it can understand that Ian is not lying, and can also understand Ian's speculation about the Prisoner Star Prison... so that he feels desperate.

  But Ian has come out of despair, and is still firm in his dream.

   It's not that Ian and the will of the hive are different and cannot resonate, but the will of the hive finds that it can't keep up with Ian and cannot resonate with the other party.

  At this moment, all the fog, fluorescence, spiritual energy and guards that lingered in front of the white cocoon of flesh and blood were dispelled, and the entity of the will of the hive finally appeared in front of the young man in its entirety.

  It was a huge cocoon, more than five meters high. Its surface was covered with a layer of slippery and greasy mucus, and its interior was filled with a viscous slurry. A brain-shaped shadow was suspended in it.

   This shadow is constantly releasing psionic fluctuations, trying to connect Ian's thinking and spirit again.

But just like the immune system of the body will produce antibodies against foreign viruses, the spirit will also be insensitive to foreign heterogeneous spirits, just like jokes that are read too much will not be funny, and too much happiness is exerted on the body in a short period of time On the contrary, it would feel like pain, and the current psychic power of the hive will not have any effect on Ian.

In fact, the will of the hive has not been fully formed. Now it is just a collection of wills residing in the brain-eating worm's psionic network. Its physical world entity is the brain in the cocoon in front of it. It sounds like it has created a weakness for itself. It is not.

Can the psionic energy in the Terra world be independent of the physical body? Supernatural power needs a medium to manifest in the material world, just as pure psionic creatures like goblins need a core to carry their power, so is the will of the hive. It is this brain that gives it the confidence to display powerful psionic abilities, but this is not enough.

  It wants to build a strong enough body for itself.

   At first it was an ether crystal dragon, but now it is Ian, so it steals the crystal dragon egg and intends to assimilate Ian.

  Of course, it may also be assimilated by Ian, making Ian the will of the hive.

   No, it will definitely be assimilated by Ian—it thinks that its obsession is far less crazy and bewildered than Ian, so naturally it cannot beat this young man in mental confrontation.

  The opponent may be the real master of the fate of the swarm.

  They don't care, the swarm just want to see the stars.

  They don't care who is in charge, as long as someone can see it.

   It's just that there are not many stars in this world.

Ian took a step forward, and he felt a familiarity. The thinking of the Hive Will reminded him of Isengarde, and the looming Axel, the guardian of the earth behind him... His Majesty the Emperor really wanted to Do you want to use your grandson as the carrier of your will? Is he also looking for his new body like the will of the hive?

   Is it really that simple, really that despicable?

  Perhaps—maybe the Emperor's family is so devoid of family affection... But can he really underestimate the opponent he is destined to face in the future...one of the kings who rule this land?

  As he got closer, he could see more clearly. The boy could see that behind the giant white cocoon was actually an armor...a pre-epoch armor that had been mostly destroyed.

  The armored cockpit has been destroyed, and there is a damaged corpse inside, and the root system of the white giant cocoon is wrapped around the corpse, from which it was bred, grown, and finally changed into this appearance.

   And the crystal clusters and the metal matrix are also derived from this armor—they are all derivatives of the etheric core in this armored engine!

  The fluorescent crystals that spread around the entire worm nest are all 'element derivatives' produced by the malfunctioning of the ether armament, a low-purity element crystal doped with a lot of dust and calcium!

   And the metal layer is easier to understand... They are all subsidiary creations of the core material of the core material of the ether-armed furnace core, the "living metal Morion steel"!

It is this kind of living metal capable of self-repair, which grows and spreads under the guidance of the psychic hive will, so that it can absorb the metal from the ruins of the surrounding water purification plants, mix with local rock formations and crystals, and shape the current hive !

  Of course, it is also possible that the Sequoia base system self-inspected and noticed that the cooling port here was damaged, so it drove the self-repair metal, that is, "Morian Steel" to carry out automatic repairs, but was intercepted by the swarm.

  Ian seemed to have seen a thrilling battle. When the Great Elder was against the entire Sequoia base in the past, someone stepped forward and drove the armor to fight him.

  They fought and attacked each other, no one spared their lives, and even wanted to throw them away impatiently.

  In the end, the Great Elder lost, and their bodies died together. The Great Elder who lost his body could only stay in the brain-eating psychic network and continue to be an enemy of the base.

   This also gave the other five elders in the base a chance to upload their souls into the psionic network and smash him into pieces.

Thousands of years have passed, whether it is the Great Elder, the five self-sacrificing elders, or other Sequoia people, the memories and desires of all people are mixed together and reappeared in the long time, the slugs of ignorance once again turned into Be a terrible parasite and start building a nest deep in the ground.

  Reinvention of 'Heart of the Swarm'.

There is a halo of water in Ian's eyes, and he can see too many shadows from the worms... The elder, the five elders, each of them is eager to go to the ground, go to the sea, breathe fresh air, enjoy Sunshine, looking up at the blue sky and the soul of the stars.

  The insect swarm is indeed terrifying and abominable, but it assimilates the core of the essence of life, but it is such a beautiful 'desire'.

   Haha, he made a mistake. If a wish, a grand plan, or a vision of the future is not beautiful, how can it be desirable and make people want to integrate with it?

   Always.

   Staring at the enemy in front of him, the insect nest in front of him, Ian's eyes have countless fragments of the past that are flowing light and dark.

  In 3319, the alien spaceship "Obra Tinder" landed on the back of Terra's moon.

  In 3432, the Federal Lunar Exploration Team found this Tinder spacecraft carrying an entire alien ecology.

  In 3472, Sequoia Base was established.

   In 3518, Sequoia Base launched a closed operation test, and all thirteen heterogeneous ecological circles were functioning well.

   Soon after, a catastrophe from the sky came, and Sequoia Base was isolated from the surface ecology.

  Inheritance from generation to generation, sacrifice from generation to generation.

  The ecological balance and the power structure in the base, as well as the efforts to maintain the Sequoia Base and the scientific and technological achievements of the entire pre-epoch civilization, which the leaders of the past dynasties thought hard, finally came to an end.

   ended in life's oldest and wildest longing.

   Mortals dare to desire eternal life.

  —Eternal life, eternal life—Eternal life carries all meanings, so that too many regrets can no longer be regrets, and too much haste becomes unnecessary.

   That's why it's crazy.

   "No... what is more insane than the desire for eternal life, it should be the life on earth, dare to look up to the sky."

   "Just because such a desire is too inconceivable, human beings can only retreat and use eternal life as a foreshadowing, so that they can see a glimmer of hope..."

   Sighing, Ian mobilized the energy in the core of the ancient dragon, and at the same time provided strength for the sand armor apprentice and the fairy wings, and he wanted to prepare for the final blow.

  At this moment, the outside world is shaking violently. We can hear the roar of the weak Dragon Yin and Bishop Baiwu fighting with all their strength. The combination of the female worm and the giant eel has temporarily suppressed the combination of Bishop Baiwu and the Ether Crystal Dragon.

  He must use the fastest speed to defeat the will of the hive in front of him, otherwise he will face failure.

  But in fact, the boy's heart is definitely not as determined and crazy as the insect nest thinks.

   Under the temptation of the insect nest, he even wavered for a moment.

yes. If he can seize the will of the insect nest and become the real master of the brain-eating insect psionic network, then how easy it will be for him to develop power in the future.

Use brain-eating worms to devour the brains of several key people and become your own subordinates. Attaching the brain can also guarantee the loyalty of everyone, and even turn all subordinates into saints who are not corrupt, criminal and selfish. This is enough to establish Great power, even winning every war.

Then continue to cultivate insect nests in the ruins, erode the surrounding monsters, defeat the ether crystal dragon, and make it into your own monster incarnation, biological battleship weapon; then slowly reproduce the technology in the ruins, and cultivate the civilization that was already in the previous era. Quite a mature 'core creature of the ecosystem'.

  Combined with the 'fire engine' he has already obtained, that is a ready-made biological superluminal spaceship.

  Under his leadership, the Terra swarm will quickly leave this boring land and go to the sea of ​​stars to explore why the stars are extinguished.

  He could do it—the vision told him that a future of golden glory awaited him.

Yes.

  In Ian's eyes, since he saw the will of the hive, he didn't see any danger.

  What he saw was a golden ocean!

  It is like a shining golden waterfall that gathers countless stars and finally goes upstream to reach the sky!

  【Star Seeker Hive Will (Master Species)】

  【The first energy level, first birth, core, assimilable】

[The main consciousness of the psychic network, built through the accumulation of various mutations and soul fragments, has now initially formed the master brain of the gestalt insect nest. Through the same emotions, desires and dreams, it attracts others into itself, and now lacks a main central soul order The worm nest carries out will integration, resulting in sublimation and transformation. It is the initial form of bee colony civilization]

[Incorporating the heritage of many other star field civilizations, the prototype of the new hive civilization born in the Terra star field, but because the development process is too **** and primitive, it does not comply with the "Tinder Civilization Protection Agreement", and will be handed over to the "Original Life Reserve" Correction and Improvement]

  【They are inviting you to be their master】

   On the silver chip, there are characters like this beating.

  As long as he is willing to resonate with the will of the hive and become the true master of the hive, he can embark on this path of destiny...and embark on this [road of the swarm] that is civilization all by itself!

  Bishop Baiwu, or in other words, the "catastrophe" seen by the "Huaiguang Church" was not a worm's nest at all, but him who chose the worm's nest way! It was Ian who chose to become the master of the hive!

  It is just the mutual influence between the prophets, so that the prophets of the Huaiguang Church cannot see the truth and mistakenly believe that

  Ian is the brave man who can stop the will of the hive.

  That is the truth of the crisis that will truly threaten the entire world, and it is indeed a disaster that "only these people present are enough to prevent"!

but…

  The sword left behind by the teacher tightly held in his hand, and the heat from his core made the white-haired boy wake up a little bit.

  Ian recalls the brilliance of Chip.

  It is made of countless colors, bright and shining, dreamy and magnificent... [Rainbow] brilliance.

Rainbow colors.

-yes.

  Gold is not the highest level of haze.

   On top of it, there is a rainbow-colored 'future'!

   "Let me be greedy once—"

The corners of his mouth curled up to make the source matter burn on the surface of his body, and then pour it into the long sword in his hand. Ian said calmly: "This is the greed of the prophet. Because I can see the future, I can't help it, I can never help it." ..."

   "I can't help it, I want to reach the best future!"

He raised his head, stared at the will of the hive in front of him, and peeped out the opponent's weakness, while the brain inside the cocoon was beating uncomfortably. It sensed pure hostility. Countless crystals and metals were drawn by it and covered the cocoon. as a last resort.

   As long as it takes a while, the frantic female insect will break free from everything and come to protect it. It only needs to hold on for a while.

  But it is still sending out invitations to the youth, hoping that the other party can become its own master, become the real heart of the swarm, so that they can also reach the high heavens.

  But Ian ignored the psychic tentacles that were looking for cracks and gaps in his spirit. He had once again strengthened his heart and his desire.

  —The worm nest in front of you has a thousand-year history, and the ruins with it are creations 1,600 years ago.

  The base of the glorious civilization in the past, now only the bones are left to sleep.

  The old civilization reached the tower of the void, but now there are only ruins and decay.

  In the past, the civilization could go to the other side of the ecological circle, but now only the screams of beasts are left.

  All the longings, wishes and dreams of the past are now scattered, leaving only empty ruins for future generations to stare at.

  Now, some of the people who gather here are pursuing eternal life, some are leaving the cage, some are killing their relatives, some are involved in accidents, and some are following the prophecy to wipe out future disasters.

   There are nobles fighting each other, and soldiers are continuing the dispute.

  The prisoners of this world are bound by gravity to their souls.

   Raise your head, even in the deep underground, still look up to the sky.

  Ian tightly held the long sword in his hand, and the Chongyuan iron sword seemed to be covered with a layer of light golden illusory crystals, and then cyan source quality was wrapped around it, like water veins.

  The six sublimation structures in the body were operating in unison, and the young man's eyes were shining with blue halos. His swordsmanship and inscription skills allowed him to see a huge gap in the multi-crystalline iron armor suspended on the giant cocoon in front of him.

   "I am no different from them, just to fulfill my wish... I am against you, but I am also afraid that I will agree to you."

   "I can swing a sword..."

  Before he finished speaking, he jumped up, flew up, and condescendingly slashed a sword at the will of the hive that was wriggling frantically and constantly retreating!

  The sword's light was green and gold, tearing the dim fluorescence. It was just an ordinary slanted sword, but it cut through all the armor protecting the will of the insect nest.

It is difficult to describe the sword technique Ian is using at this moment, maybe it is not a sword technique, because the trajectory of the young man's sword at this moment is not just a sword technique, but is enough to cut off the tentacles of spiritual energy, cut open the flesh and blood of the insect nest, and reach all enemies The Vital Prophet's Sword—

This sword light is like lightning, swiftly crushing all other objects blocking its edge, but in the perception of the will of the hive, this sword is extremely slow, as if a thousand years of time have been bit by bit on this sword Sliding down from the ground, it was like the condensation of the thousand-year history of Sequoia Base, and finally turned into that dim arc of light, cutting through the giant cocoon of flesh and blood, and hitting the fragile brain of the pale insect swarm!

  Even the trembling brain-eating mother, giant eel, ether crystal dragon and Bishop of White Mist, even Master Goser and Isengard seemed to sense something, and they couldn't help turning their heads to look at the center of the insect nest.

  Even, even Patrick, who had just woken up and had half of his body broken, looked at the sublimation sword light that the young man swung under the gaps with complicated expressions.

  [We are the same kind...why...why don't you let us out...]

  [We just want to break free, we just want to, look at the stars...]

  Boom!

  The thunder exploded underground, and Ian could clearly feel that the giant cocoon was being torn apart by him, and the psionic slurry containing extremely high radiation was splashed on him.

  But without hesitation, he continued to move forward with his sword light, until the heavy sword like a meteorite completely shattered the pale brain that seemed to want to say something and resonate with himself.

  The psychic shield and the resistance of flesh and blood are meaningless. Under Ian's observation with all his psychic power, the flaws were found, smashed to pieces, and turned into nothing.

  Yes, the will of the hive is right, it may indeed be of the same kind as itself, and they may be able to go to the sky as quickly as possible together.

  The way of the swarm may be the most suitable and most efficient way for him, a foreigner who has awakened the memory of his previous life.

   But he swung his sword—

Standing on the verge of shattering, falling apart, and slowly collapsing the cocoon of flesh and blood, Ian retracted his sword and stared at the brain fluid under his feet, as well as the brain fluid surrounding him, which had completely drifted away, and it would take some time before it recovered in the insect nest. Hive Will Psionic Fragments.

  The prophet stared at a path of fate that had been cut off by himself, and sighed softly.

   "Just for a better future."

   1w5 huge update! Ask for a monthly ticket!

   The large-scale dungeon of about 20 days is just right, and it can be regarded as revealing part of the world view, which is quite satisfactory.

   There are still some ending plots, so take your time!
