"Phew - it's finally over. I can't believe that just a new mastermind can be so difficult to deal with."
One of them, Yin Sadora, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. Her whole body looked like it had been fished out of water, and her clothes and skirts were almost completely soaked.
This shows how much pressure the psychic confrontation just now put on her.
Especially the several veins near the head, without exception, all bulge like earthworms, accompanied by a slight sting.
This kind of tingling pain is a manifestation of excessive spiritual energy loss.
If you had failed in the confrontation with the new mastermind consciousness just now, then the heads of all participants present would explode with a bang, or their consciousness would be instantly wiped out and turned into walking zombies, even the mind flayers would be no exception.
In fact, the mastermind uses this method to closely monitor the entire mind flayer clan to ensure that no traitors or aliens appear.
It's a pity that the mastermind in front of me has only just developed an independent consciousness, and he doesn't realize that the crisis is coming.
Coupled with the mind flayers who control the brain pool room, there are summoned creatures that are all Zuo Si. They have instilled a lot of wrong information into them from the beginning, so that they only realized the crazy Yinsadora at the beginning of the ceremony.
He actually wanted to replace himself, but by the time he reacted, it was too late, and he could only do his best to make a last-ditch resistance.
But unfortunately this resistance is in vain.
You must know that after a large amount of self-replication, devouring and fusion, each of the remaining four Yin Sadora possesses powerful psychic powers comparable to those of the Heart Destroyer.
In particular, his unique understanding of the concept of "self" makes him have no weaknesses at all in terms of thought and spirit.
In contrast, every one of the masterminds is very afraid of death.
When many masterminds are seriously injured or their lives are threatened, they will even actively choose to surrender or become prisoners or slaves in exchange for the other party not to destroy themselves.
At that time, the greatest arcanist in Netheril, Yin Orem, relied on his own powerful magical power to forcibly capture a mastermind and the entire gathering place of mind flayers.
They even used each other to conduct various cruel experiments.
In the end, he replaced the mastermind's will with his own soul and will, becoming the first mind flayer mastermind lich in the history of Faerûn.
During this process, neither the mastermind nor the mind flayers offered any form of resistance.
】
It wasn't until the last moment that he realized what the other party wanted to do that the mastermind unleashed all his spiritual power in an attempt to disrupt the magic ritual.
But unfortunately, it only killed those mind flayers who rebelled and followed Yin Orem to learn arcane magic, and failed to cause any actual harm to this extremely powerful great arcanist. Even the extremely complex magic
The ceremony was successfully completed.
"How do you feel now? Have you inherited all the knowledge and memories of the master brain?" the mind flayer asked, waving its octopus-like tentacles.
Mastermind Yin Sadora answered without thinking: "I feel great now, as if I have inexhaustible spiritual energy. As for the knowledge and memory, they have been completely preserved as planned.
As long as Soth brings the soul back from another world, the fourth natural disaster plan can be launched at any time."
"Excellent! You really did not disappoint me. Remember, the Fourth Natural Disaster Plan is the project that the master attaches most importance to at this stage. Its fundamental goal is to collect knowledge and talents from different worlds and create a brand new one from scratch.
Civilization, and a powerful army that always has high morale and cannot be truly killed."
The Mind Flayer didn't hide anything and told all the secrets in front of the four Yinsadora.
In his opinion, apart from summoned creatures and Wilmes controlled by strange objects, these girls are the only ones in the entire mage tower who can never betray Zuo Si.
What's more, one of them, Yinsadora, has now become the mastermind and the key core of the entire plan.
"If I want to completely realize the grand goal of the Fourth Natural Disaster Plan, I need to continuously strengthen my own strength, especially more mind flayers need to donate their brains." Yin Sadora, who became the mastermind, made the request.
She has inherited an absolutely calm and rational character, and she knows very well that it is almost impossible to rebuild a civilization with just a few thousand connected souls.
I have to at least be able to access millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of souls at once to barely do it.
Of course, in addition, the cloning magic must also be able to keep up and produce enough cloned bodies in a short period of time.
In short, this is a huge systematic project, which may require tens of thousands of relevant professionals.
The Mind Flayer responded without thinking: "Don't worry, I have already informed Wilmes to let her completely relax the birth restrictions on goblin werewolves.
Within three months, we will provide you with at least 50,000 new mind flayers transformed from goblins.
After these mind flayers lay eggs, I will arrange for them to donate their brains in batches.
Although their brains are far less advanced than those of mind flayers who have lived for decades, they can win with quantity.
Fifty thousand brains can at least increase the number of people connected to more than 100,000."
When he said these words, there was no fluctuation in the mind flayer's tone or attitude at all. He was so cruel and cold that it made people feel numb.
"Relax the birth restrictions on goblins? Do we have so much food on hand to feed them?" Another Yin Sadora questioned.
"Don't worry. The harvest in the Nelanthel Islands is pretty good this year.
Amn's castle manor also has sufficient food reserves, which is more than enough to feed tens of thousands more goblins.
What's more, the master has already used millions of low-level undead to colonize a large area in another world.
One year's food output alone is enough to feed everyone on the west coast of Faerûn."
The mind flayer confidently gave the guarantee.
Because Zuo Si successfully captured the Floating City of Plantia and either cleared away or brought under control most of the undead within the original control area around the floating city, although there are currently no living people, he rules nearly one million people.
square kilometers of land.
Not only agricultural and food output, but also various mineral deposits are available.
In addition, undead workers do not need to eat, drink or rest and can work 24 hours a day, so the output is quite amazing.
Coupled with some "Qualish" magical mechanical devices that draw on modern engineering principles, it can actually compete with the industrial society on earth in terms of efficiency.
This is why Zuo Siming clearly knows that using low-level undead in large quantities will easily lead to hostility from some gods and their churches, but he still refuses to give up.
There is nothing else but low costs, high returns, and there is no need to worry about disasters and deaths caused by unexpected situations.
Just when Faerun began to madly advance the fourth natural disaster plan, Zuo Si, who was far away in another world, was not idle either.
At this moment, he was standing next to the bed in the intensive care unit of a hospital, looking at the various monitoring instruments, tubes and oxygen bottles next to him, as well as the dying middle-aged man lying on the white sheets.
After a few minutes, he asked: "Dr. White, I think you must be very clear by now that you will die soon, right?"
"You...can you see me?"
A translucent soul slowly floated out of the dying body, with a face full of shock and disbelief.
Because he has been in this state for more than ten minutes, it is not difficult to see from the reactions of the doctors and nurses around him that they cannot see his soul at all, let alone feel his own existence.
Zuo Si nodded with a smile: "Of course! In fact, I came all the way from the UK across the Atlantic just to talk to you about death."
"About death? Could it be that you are the God of Death!" Dr. White opened his mouth in surprise.
You must know that he is an industry genius who is a biologist, a doctor of genetic engineering, a virology expert, a bacteriology expert and a series of other titles. Although he will go to church with his family on specific days, he never
Believe that there is some kind of god in this world.
If there really is a god, it must be an evil god.
Otherwise, how can we explain that those people, countries and organizations that have committed numerous crimes have not received the sanctions they deserve, but still exist today?
But now, when a guy who can see his own soul appears out of thin air, the doctors and nurses around him don't react at all, as if they can't see it at all. Dr. White's materialistic beliefs and values ​​are rapidly collapsing.
"God of Death? No, no, no, I'm not a god, I'm just a planeswalker who knows a little bit of magic and wants to make a deal with you." Zuo Si stated his intention straightforwardly.
However, this answer did not disappoint Dr. White. Instead, he became even more excited and excited: "Magic? Is there really such an incredible power as magic in the world? How does it work? What is the principle? Can you
Can you show it to me?"
"I'm sorry, although I would like to meet your request immediately, the problem is that your body covered with cancer cells can no longer hold on.
In three minutes, the heartbeat and breathing will stop.
There will be a force that pulls you through the curtain and into a desperate world of death.
In this world, you will slowly lose all your memories over a long period of one hundred years, and eventually your entire soul will dissolve into some kind of energy.
If you don't want to end up like this, the only way is to sign a contract with me."
With that said, Zuo Si took out a parchment scroll that had been prepared in advance from his pocket, with a large number of terms densely written in English.
"Contract..."
Hearing these two words, Dr. White calmed down instantly, with strong vigilance in his eyes. He cautiously came closer and browsed through the above content, and then couldn't help but ask: "You are a person who seduces mortals into corruption and sells their souls."
The devil?"
To be continued...
