"There is no way. Probably during the production process, I hoped to strengthen and compensate for the emotional defects of the illithid, but the result was not as strange as expected." Katzeyek's induction, from
There was a deep helplessness coming from deep inside the mastermind's body.
Illithids' emotional flaws?
Edward nodded: "It's joy, right? But does that mean anything?"
"Strong emotions can maximize the strength of the spirit, and also allow users of psychic powers to approach and touch the wall of truth faster. Psychic powers do not simply rely on stacking like magic. They
Pay more attention to the inner self and the changes in the soul. A psychic cannot gain any power by relying only on learning. Only a tangible understanding of the world can help them construct themselves and feel the truest truth."
The thinker said, not hiding his achievements: "Its power has indeed grown very rapidly, so I think such a small flaw is not too difficult to accept."
Probably only a boring gourd like you can accept such nonsense...
Cursing in his heart, Edward's spirit flowed, so the divine energy cage sealing the master brain began to expand, and the bird inside immediately transformed into the huge, pink brain. Then, the psychic warlock
With a tap of his fingers, a piece of metal with a strong spiritual light slowly floated out from it, passed through the barrier of divine power, and landed in Edward's hand.
It was a piece of metal that was the same as the one he had seen before, carved into the skull of an illithid. However, when the tentacles of thought touched it lightly, Edward could feel the presence of the gloomy and cold soul inside.
This is why lichs try every possible means to protect their phylacteries. This small magic item is so fragile that it cannot even protect against any attack. Whether it is magic or psychic invasion, it will be directly touched.
That fragile soul.
However, even though it was fragile, Edward had no way to control it. He closed his eyes slightly and displayed a control technique. However, the power of psychic energy seemed to be nothing more than a drop in the ocean in front of that soul. It flickered and was swallowed up.
Without a trace!
I'm afraid this kind of thing can only be truly effective if it is controlled by a magician, right? Moreover, a permanent effective magic circle must be constructed... Anyway, it is not something that a half-hearted person like me can do easily.
Or should we wait for the mages assisted by Thomas to arrive before trying the magic ring ceremony? However, it seems that Katzeyek's attainments in magic do not ask about the level of psionic power. He can barely perform it with more than a hundred
Can a national mage with fourth- and fifth-level spells break through his spiritual defense? Moreover, if before they arrive
, what should I do if Katzeyek's body has already been recast? Do I have to keep watching this phylactery until it reorganizes and then order him to self-destruct? But who knows if this old lich has any other means that can be used without resorting to it?
Reorganization and resurrection? You must know that he didn't put much effort into awakening the corpse of the ordinary illithid before...
Thinking about various possibilities, Edward fell silent, but such silence was obviously not acceptable to the United States - a moment later, the illithid mastermind in the divine cage screamed in the language of the mind: "Hey
, that guy with the smooth brain sulcus. I already have the stuff, why don’t you let me out quickly?”
This guy's four shots were crackling at the invisible energy wall, and he didn't forget to give instructions: "Also, hurry up and get some human flowers. It's best to use drow as flower pots. The nectar
The smell should be more mellow! In addition, some slaves can come and scrub me, otherwise..."
The wall of divine energy around him suddenly tightened. The terrible pressure suddenly suppressed his nonsense.
"I changed my mind, because Katzeyek doesn't seem to have put any restraints on you, so in order to prevent accidents... How about you let go of your psychic defenses and let me show you a control spell, and I will let you out.
?" Edward said leisurely, and then
Unsurprisingly, I heard a roar: "What? Is this a delusion unique to you damn low-IQ race? Why would a great and unique illithid mastermind like me have to smooth the brain grooves for someone like you?"
The services of a low-IQ brat?"
"Oh, that's right. You really have no reason to do this, so... I think it would be more appropriate for me to give you to some humans with less smooth brain sulci and higher intelligence. Ah, by the way, it just so happens that Mary
Things over Lian's side are more troublesome. If I give you to her, maybe it can be a little better.
Let her be happy and stop troubling me... Don't worry, she just likes to slice and study those strange-looking monsters. Anyway, I remember that your masterminds are all composed of the brains of multiple illithids.
Even if there are one or two missing, he may not be dead, right?"
"You... you damn inferior creature!" The body of the Illithid Mastermind trembled slightly, and after being silent for a while, he finally uttered a low curse: "In my core, there are spiritual runes arranged by the Thinker! He
You can give the order, then you will be satisfied!"
"So, let's talk about it. Apart from manifesting your powers, what other abilities do you have? Can you deal with a few of the Blazing Gods?" Edward nodded lightly, leaned back from the divine cage, and threw the big head into the newly opened area.
That pool of clear water.
"What do you, a little guy with smooth brain grooves, know? I, the power of great details, can't be embodied by such a barbaric act as fighting!" The cold underground water made the big monster shiver, and he waved his tentacles to reveal a spirit.
Can, slowly increase the temperature of the clear water, and then slowly fall into it:
"The stupid act of fighting and killing should only be left to those inferior and inferior lumps of muscle! And I, this branch of the multiverse, the only illithid mastermind whose telepathic range has been expanded and strengthened, was born to do so.
He is a commander! And now
Within five hundred miles around me, I can connect to the minds of five hundred illithids at the same time, command them to fight, see what they see, and feel what they feel. As long as I am around, I can build an army of illithids.
The army can expedition to the surrounding areas!"
Sounds good.
But that's just what it sounds like - the core question is, where to find so many illithids to form an army?
It's not that Edward has no interest in raising a bunch of illithids as his subordinates, but he also knows that it's impossible to do this with his current strength.
Illithids are very powerful. An adult illithid has psychic powers that are no less than that of a high-level mage, and can unleash unlimited range-wide killing powers such as mind blast. It is worthy of its name and is no less powerful than dragons.
big monster. But correspondingly, raising this kind of monster
The price is also too high - not only does it require a person's body to take shape, but the food is an unnatural thing like the brain, and it must also be the head of an intelligent creature. Because the illithid not only needs nutrition from the gray matter of the brain,
There is also a need for biocharged spiritual energy.
Although Edward currently has about 50,000 people under his command, if he wants to feed a group of these monsters, just maintaining daily expenses is not enough.
And the most important thing is that the illithid tadpole cannot be formed after hatching. Instead, it needs to live in the brain pool for more than ten years, and the supply of the brain cannot be cut off during this period. Therefore, unless a stable food source and
Time, otherwise even a big monster like Katzeyek would not be able to get such an army - if it could be formed in a short period of time, then he would not have been suppressed and beaten by Marilyn before.
Unless... Marilyn's cloning method can be used?
It's really good... If any existence can be cloned, the remaining problem is to solve the infusion of knowledge, but the illithids have a natural advantage in this aspect. Their brains have a direct spiritual connection with the master brain. It is this unique
The structure prevents all illithids in an illithid city from killing each other, and all illithids can directly access the psychic knowledge stored in the main brain through this connection... If the two are combined, it will be really
You can create an invincible army.
The question is, will Marilyn be willing to hand over the method to herself?
In addition, if you consider it from this perspective, some things seem to become clear - is the main purpose of this **** master mobilized all his troops to find trouble with an illithid lich? Is it really just to get rid of the problem last time?
The bad temper to win?
Who knows, whether the purpose is long-term or just to relieve anger, these are none of Edward's business. What he can be sure of is that such a large-scale plan is definitely not something he can afford.
"What if it's not an illithid? Can you contact them?"
Shaking his head, the human asked.
"Don't use your inferior way of thinking to speculate on a great illithid mastermind, especially this mastermind! Great details! They are just mortals. Just implant a little psychic gel in them and you will be able to
Commanding them is no more difficult than commanding a group of goblins!",
"Sounds good, but psychic gel...could it be the thing secreted by the illithid?" Edward was a little pleased. But then a certain word made him frown: "That thing is not used to replace
Brain, is it something used to make a heartless slave?
"Yes, of course, but I really didn't expect that you humans also know about the Heartless Slaves?" The big head named Details moved, seeming to be proud, but the humans immediately interrupted him. "If you don't use the mind,
Where’s the colloid?”
"Isn't this nonsense! Therefore, creatures with low intelligence are really troublesome! Without marking them, can you distinguish the few you released from thousands of goblins? And it's still within a range of five hundred miles? It's just a mere
It’s just spiritual colloid. Details like this...well, don’t worry about small things,”
How the hell could you not care?
Edward rolled his eyes and immediately broke off the spiritual communication with this guy.
To put it bluntly, the Heartless Slave is a humanoid puppet made by the illithids - it eats the head of an intelligent creature and then fills the braincase with the secreted special psychic glue. The psychic glue can replace the brain of the creature.
Perform all functions, so that this brainless creature is still alive, but it can no longer be considered a human being.
Wait, if they are some valuable captives, it seems that this method... is also reasonable?
"Then, Master Katzeyek, I may have to ask you to live here at this stage. If you need anything, I can try my best to satisfy you, but now I need some ninth-level psychic information. You have it here.
How many?"
Putting aside those unimportant questions for a moment, Edward turned to Katzeyek.
"There are only eight ninth-level powers that I know of, such as resonance force field, erasure of psychic energy, microscopic world, assimilation, reversal of reality, eternal body, psychic surgery and true mind exchange." It was different from what he imagined, Katzer
Yeck's answer was quick and comprehensive: "Among them, mind surgery and true mind exchange are unique abilities of the mind enchantment system."
"So.,"
Katzeyek's abilities are good. But after all, like Edward, lucky guys with two manifesting centers are rare in this multiverse, so he has not dabbled in powers other than the mind enchantment system.
.
The effects of these eight powers are different, but unfortunately there are not many that can be used to play a huge role. The function of the resonance field is to allow everyone within a range to receive the influence of a certain power. But in
Edward seems to think that this weird ability is not bad when it is used to treat a group of people.
As the name suggests, erasing psionic energy can be used to erase the psionic energy in the opponent's mind, making him completely unable to use it anymore - Edward was a little lucky for a moment that when he faced Katzeyek before, the old lich showed no mercy.
He used it for a while, but unfortunately this kind of erasure was also limited to psychic energy, so the psychic could not think of where he could use this ability for a while.
The power of the microscopic world is very strong and can distort the feelings and consciousness of one or more creatures. It can throw the opponent directly into a dream world constructed by the manifester, but there is no unstoppable spinning top here that can make the unlucky
When the victims awaken, their final outcome is to remain trapped in this dream until their real bodies die of hunger and thirst.
In fact, the Illithid mastermind named 'Details' also has a high-level Illithid brain that can manifest ninth-level powers as its core. But unfortunately, it is an Illithid brain that is proficient in teleportation powers.
Traveler - This class of psionic powers specializes in traveling through time or space.
Advance or move objects. However, as the unique highest achievement, the ability to go back in time has been secretly learned by Edward in the previous battle, and another unique ninth-level ability is the teleportation circle, which is
For Edward, who controls the divine laws of space, he is already a useless person.

"No, the time is only limited to about five breaths."

This is almost a useless life-saving skill. It can only be used to buy some time to escape when encountering an enemy's irresistible moves. Otherwise, what can a psychic do if he is invincible? Draw a sword to kill someone?
