Chapter 87: The Cardinal's Dream (the sixth update, please subscribe and give monthly tickets!)
Collection Task 2, it is called "perception", but it is actually more than just perception.
Perception is the basis of everything. Based on "perception", You Huan delves into the spiritual world of other lives to explore, dig and tamper with them.
Over the past few days, his performance as a "mind hacker" had finally allowed him to accumulate enough information to complete the second collection task.
You Huan looked at [Monster Element·Perception] with great anticipation.
This element is closely related to his ability to overwrite thoughts, and may be the key to his solution to the command center in the collective consciousness.
The shackles from the pioneers were something he had to resolve.
If he could remove the shackles, perhaps all the monsters could become his helpers!
Of course, the prerequisite is that he has gained enough evolution points.
Even if he doesn't turn against the Pioneer in the end, it is still necessary to have such a backup plan.
From this point of view, the part that combines with [Monster Element·Perception] is also very obvious.
——The brain!
Whether it is the tongue's neural detection or the horns' electrical perception, the source of their control is the brain.
Moreover, the monster has two brains, and combining with the brains can bring double benefits.
Kill two birds with one stone.
[Selected part: Brain (two)]
Unlike the time when the Indominus Raptor chose the brain, this time You Huan had mixed feelings.
A large amount of information poured into the brain, which is responsible for perception, observation and analysis, like a waterfall.
The brain responsible for action sent out signals unconsciously, and the speed of swimming in the sea suddenly increased a bit.
[Monster Element: Perception has been combined with the brain, and the skill [Cardinal Dream] has been acquired.] (Cardinal: The key to things.)
[[Cardinal Dream]:
The main brain can release spiritual fluctuations [illusions] to affect the thinking of life. When using the tongue as a medium, it improves the ability to tamper with the field of thought. When using the horn as a medium, it increases the range of fluctuations and has a small impact on electromagnetic signals.
For lives shrouded in [dreams], the secondary brain can emit secondary waves, causing damage on the spiritual level. ]
Tail Rat looked at the skill description and was stunned for a second.
That's a long skill description.
It is divided into two major parts: the main brain and the sub-brain. The functions of the main brain are connected to the two major sensory organs, the tongue and the horns.
Judging from the description, this is a skill that is purely for the thinking level.
In the previous world, that was the ability to counter monsters like ghosts!
The effect of the skill would only be seen after he actually used it.
Then he swung his heavy sword-like tail violently in the water, adjusted his direction, and swam quickly towards the sea where there was life.
Soon, a large group of dolphins appeared in front of him.
Looking closely, it is a bottlenose dolphin, also known as a bottlenose dolphin.
Dolphins are one of the few creatures that can experience sexual pleasure, and they are not uncommon to engage in a variety of bizarre behaviors.
But smart is also really smart.
Very suitable to be You Huan's test subject.
During this swimming process, he has discovered the hidden effects of the skill.
The secondary brain responsible for controlling actions has a much better control over the body, and exercise consumption has been slightly reduced.
The main brain's ability to receive and integrate external information has also improved to a certain extent.
This is normal.
Monster elements will enhance the capabilities of combined parts, but most of them will not be displayed in the skill description.
Unless the improvement is so great that it becomes part of the skill effect.
For example, the acid intensity in [Corrosive Bloodline] is greatly increased.
After testing the side effects, he stopped on the path that the dolphins had to pass.
The dolphins sensed the huge creature appearing in front of them, and they all made uneasy noises and began to turn.
But the next moment, from the pair of horns on the top of the tail-standing rat's head, circles of invisible waves emanated!
This kind of fluctuation would hardly cause changes in the material world.
But after the air brushed over the dolphins' heads, the dolphins stopped turning and their calls also stopped.
They looked confused, as if they were trapped in a strange dream and no longer existed in reality.
Like silent corpses, they swam in unison towards You Huan and gathered around him!
Their minds were all controlled by him.
At the mental level, he simply filled their minds with one instruction:
Swim to your side, then stop and wait.
Bottlenose dolphins have higher intelligence than many land primates, and he was very satisfied to see that his abilities had such a good effect on them.
Then he slightly strengthened the [Dream] emanating from the beast's horn.
Through the transformation of animal horns, this mental fluctuation has a certain ability to disturb electrical signals.
The bioelectric signals inside this group of dolphins were stirred, and their bodies immediately showed abnormal behavior and twitched.
The degree of this disturbance is nothing compared to the electromagnetic pulse of the turtle in the movie.
But the electromagnetic pulses of the turtle are mainly aimed at mechas that use electronic circuits and various electronic equipment.
Like the acid of the tail-standing rat, it is a big gift package from the pioneers to mankind.
However, the electrical signal disturbance caused by [Cardinal Illusion] is also useful for the electrical signals within living organisms.
In other words, although its impact amplitude and energy fluctuation are not large, it is better for subtle disturbances.
If used at a critical moment, it might just turn the tables.
Then he tried to control the thoughts of creatures with his long fluorescent blue tongue as he had done in the past.
Unlike the large-scale fluctuations of the animal horns, the [Dream] emitted through the tongue has a concentrated effect on the strengthening of a single individual.
In the azure sea, an even more brilliant fluorescent blue light flickers.
It was like the branches of some giant fluorescent plant drooping down, covering several dolphins with blank expressions.
He spied on a large number of thoughts in the dolphins' brains, as well as information in the memory area, language area and other areas.
As his thought fell.
The eyes of these dolphins became lively and they made melodious calls, singing the songs they are best at.
At the same time, they swam, passing each other, and occasionally surfaced to leap and spray water.
Well, they are performing acrobatics under his command.
Using this method, You Huan can convey very complex instructions to life forms, and can also arbitrarily change every area of their thinking.
Of course, this is limited to creatures that are weaker than oneself in terms of thinking.
Another thought came to mind, and the function of the secondary brain was triggered. In the blank thinking world of a dolphin, it seemed as if a huge and ferocious rat with a tail standing on it appeared.
With a swing of its tail, the dolphin's thinking was shattered.
In reality, this dolphin died quietly.
The ability of this skill... is very comprehensive!
But You Huan can sense that with his current ability, it is still a bit difficult to shake the collective consciousness network of the entire monsters at once.
After all, this consciousness network was essentially created by the pioneers.
He needed to find a few monsters and tamper with their consciousness at close range - or, in other words, remove the shackles that the Pioneers had placed on their minds.
Using these monsters as nodes, slowly eroding the entire collective consciousness is both covert and safe.
In fact, he discovered that [Cardinal's Dream] had another effect.
——As he continues to emit [Dreams], the affected lives will be connected to the same consciousness network as him.
In other words, he can also build a collective consciousness - his own "private server"!
And he himself will become a true "cardinal".
Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is rather bleak.
He simply had no ability to maintain the fluctuations of [Dream] for a long time, not to mention the factors that needed to maintain a certain range and intensity.
So, at most he could build a temporary consciousness network.
This is also quite impressive.
I just don't know if it can be used.
Thinking that he still had 2 reinforcement points saved up, You Huan first looked at the third collection task.
[Collection Mission 3: Use the advantage of flying to defeat a large number of powerful enemies. [Reward: Monster Element·Aerial Combat]]
This was not a task that could be completed in a short period of time, so he decided to use up the reinforcement points now.
