Chapter 431: Chapter 219: The Origin of the Twisted Flesh Mass! 4th Tier Profession!_2
Sure enough, they discovered that the hundreds of thousands of Heaven’s Punishment followers were now moving in unison, as if carved from the same mold.
Unlike humans, they looked more like a group of machines.
"As expected, hundreds of thousands of people have been controlled!"
"It’s terrifying, these people seem to have completely lost their consciousness."
In fact, Xie Yitian could design each carrier with a different style of movement to simulate a normal state, but that would consume enormous computing power.
Now that the battle is over, Xie Yitian was too lazy to disguise, so he let these carriers move in the simplest way.
This shocked the people of the City of Machinery enough.
After all, they were just battling against them, and now they suddenly turned into a group of puppets.
If Xie Yitian wanted to, they could become such puppets too; how could they not be shocked?
Fortunately, they heard some clues from Xie Yitian’s tone.
Xie Yitian seemed to respect Su Yu very much?
The dignified seven-star strong, as if doing things for Su Yu, even saying, "If you need anything, feel free to ask for my help."
This was too polite, clearly giving face to Su Yu, possibly even under Su Yu’s command.
Realizing this, everyone was even more shocked.
This seven-star strong seemed to be Su Yu’s subordinate?
"This Xie Yitian must be a seven-star strong!"
"However, listening to his tone, he seems to respect the Administrator very much, so there’s no need to worry about him being unfavorable to us."
"The Administrator has even subdued a seven-star strong, truly..."
...
While Xie Yitian was communicating with the ten thousand combat personnel of the City of Machinery, Su Yu had already returned to the City of Machinery to prepare to study that twisted flesh.
Actually, he could also conduct research in the City of Heavenly Punishment.
But after all, the City of Machinery is his old base.
Now with the departure of the Cavalry Corps, Assault Tanks, and all the ten thousand combat personnel, the city’s combat strength was empty.
If he didn’t return to hold the fort, it would be troublesome if any enemies attacked.
So returning was good, in any case, with his supersonic speed, the round trip wouldn’t take much time.
In Mechanical Space.
Su Yu moved his thoughts and activated the Power of Nihility.
Instantly, a massive twisted mass of flesh slowly appeared in the air.
This was a part of the consciousness of the twisted mass of flesh he had caught with the Power of Nihility in the banquet hall earlier.
This thing descended from the memory of the Extraordinary Association.
As it was memory congealed, it was neither real nor illusory, only the equally mystical Power of Nihility could capture it.
This mass of flesh, released from the Nihility Space by Su Yu, floated quietly in the air, very dull.
Evidently, it had been assimilated by the emotions of nihilistic silence and turned "stupid."
This was also the ingenuity of the Power of Nihility.
Even the most ferocious enemy, after a turn in the Nihility Space, comes out as a fool, a plant man, never to cause trouble again.
This mass becoming foolish, wouldn’t resist, making it easier for Su Yu to study.
"Tsk tsk, I really want to throw the Brutal Evil God’s split mind into the Nihility Space to try..."
Su Yu hadn’t begun studying this mass of flesh when a thought suddenly occurred to him.
The Brutal Evil God’s split mind, though sealed in the Brutal Core, was always ready to rebel.
If it were also sent into the Nihility Space, would it also become "stupid"?
A split mind of an Evil God turned stupid would be much safer.
He might even obtain some of the Brutal Evil God’s secrets from the memory of the Brutal split mind!
The more Su Yu thought about it, the more he felt this method was feasible!
The Power of Nihility, fundamentally, was also a powerful Evil God power and should be able to deal with the Brutal Evil God split mind!
The more Su Yu thought, the more excited he became, though he did not act rashly.
After all, the Brutal Core is his biggest reliance in combat now, and if there were an accident, there would be no Regret Medicine to take.
This matter needs to be considered at length.
"It’s better to study this mass of flesh first..."
Su Yu focused his attention on the mass of flesh in the air.
"Fear Intelligence!"
Su Yu called out.
"Yes... Master..."
Fear Intelligence timidly responded.
It seemed a bit scared of this mass of flesh.
"Invade this mass of flesh and extract its memory."
Su Yu ordered.
"Yes... Master..."
Though slightly scared, Fear Intelligence faithfully executed Su Yu’s command.
It immediately transformed into a data stream and invaded the mass of flesh.
Soon, its data stream returned and transmitted a memory to Su Yu.
Su Yu immediately began to read these memories.
Soon, he was taken aback.
"So that’s the origin of this thing..."
In the memory, this mass of flesh used to be human.
It was once a group of seven-star strong.
Yes, not one, but a group!
The quantity... as many as dozens!
Dozens of seven-star strong, even with eight-star among them!
These seven-star strong faced nearly the same fate as the Heavenly Punishment City, their cities destroyed by Zhang Chenfeng’s creation, leaving only themselves barely surviving.
However, unlike the City Lord of Heavenly Punishment who had some luck, these seven-star strong were not so fortunate.
Though they survived Zhang Chenfeng’s creation’s attacks, they were severely wounded and difficult to recover.
Even their bodies were incomplete, with only a few organs remaining, and some only had half a brain.
These people could hardly be considered alive.
But the obsession for revenge supported them, along with their powerful life force as seven-star strong, making them undying, existing like this for countless years.
In such a state, it was already difficult to barely maintain consciousness.
Seeking revenge was as hard as ascending to the heavens, without any hope.
Not to mention, they didn’t even know who their enemy was.
Day after day, year after year, they were tormented by hatred, becoming more and more twisted in mindset, on the verge of mutating into monsters.
At this time, a strong individual found them and gathered them together.
This individual was an eight-star Transcendent, also heavily injured but much better off and still retained some mobility.
He gathered those severely injured seven-star strong together and told them that to seek revenge, they needed even more powerful strength.
He had a ritual that could gather the power, wisdom, and memories of everyone together.
As a result, a new powerful life would be born, one capable of possessing the top eight-star, even nine-star power.
This new life form would replace them to seek revenge against the unknown enemy.
He asked whether everyone was willing to try.
Their minds were already twisted, and upon hearing this, they immediately agreed.
Then there was a long preparation.
After they went through a bloody ritual, sacrificing numerous lives, the remaining flesh organs of these seven-star strong fused into a new twisted life.
Which is this twisted mass of flesh.
This mass of flesh was born with top eight-star power, and quickly broke through to nine-star!
This new life form’s lifetime goal was to find the murderers who destroyed those seven-star strong’s cities and avenge them!
With nine-star power, combined with the fusion of multiple seven-star strong, possessing various extraordinary abilities, it quickly discovered Zhang Chenfeng’s creation above the planet.
It also recognized these mechanical creations as the enemy it had sought!
But it quickly found that those terrifying mechanical creations were nowhere near matchable.
Even if its power increased tenfold or a hundredfold, it was impossible!
But it did not give up, as it was created for the goal of revenge, and abandoning that goal would result in its consciousness ceasing to exist.
Nine-star was not enough; it needed more superior power.
So, it continued to search and think, passing countless years.
Since it gathered the wisdom and strength of multiple seven-star strong, it could be considered incredibly wise, and eventually, it did find a way.
That was the "Power of Time"!
Utilizing the chaos of Subspace to gain the Power of Time.
And then using this powerful force for revenge!
After centuries of meticulous research, it designed an entirely new fourth-rank extraordinary profession, theoretically capable of possessing the Power of Time!
