Chapter 126 Mastermind-Xiao En!

A nest of worms.

After actually sneaking into this underground city controlled by evil creatures, Sean discovered that the underground lord's management of the city was a complete mess.

This place is a place where all kinds of creatures are mixed together. The Lord of the Underground relies on high pressure and fear to enslave and dominate other creatures. Xiao En only took less than an hour or two to figure out the ruling structure of the entire underground city.

The supreme ruler of the Worm Nest is undoubtedly the Lord of the Underground - Shude-Mel.

Under the evil lord, there is a group of servants who are directly controlled by the mind. Most of them are powerful descendants of the old days, or monsters with a trace of the old blood. These are the servants who pose the greatest threat to him, because there are many monsters close to the strength of high-level extraordinary people. Further down are the monsters active in the underground world. The eye demons were recently conquered, the mind flayers are a wandering small group, the slavers are evil creatures who have joined because of their interests, and the other various monsters are not a force to be reckoned with because of their small numbers.

But there is also a unique and strange creature here called "worm spirits", and the extraordinary people generally call them "insect people".

The size of the dromite is relatively small, and it looks about the same height as a halfling. Their skin is covered with a tough stratum corneum, and they have compound eyes like insects, and two antennae on their foreheads. These dromites have more human characteristics, but they are hermaphroditic in structure. The existence that dominates the race is called the 'Supreme Queen', who is a near-legendary aberration.

These creatures are oviparous, producing a certain number of dwarf eggs each time, usually laid by the Supreme Queen.

Their population in the Worm's Nest is second only to the Troggs, and they are a large group with several hundred people.

As for the lowest level of deformed creatures, they are mainly humanoid creatures. They are the lowest level of slaves and the most important food, existing as the bottom level of labor and reserve rations for the entire city.

"Owner."

A mind flayer with a faint smell of blood floated over. Its body was covered with greasy mucus. It bowed its head respectfully and said, "The Lord of the Underground's rule over other monsters is not strong, so the Eye Demon is unwilling to submit to it."

"The Supreme Queen of those insect people was also unwilling to surrender. She was even contaminated by the Underground Lord's sludge of hatred and fell into a semi-crazy state."

This mind flayer is called Shute, which is an approximate pronunciation of the alien language. It is different from other mind flayers.

Because it mistook Sean for a mastermind!
After Sean controlled these mind flayers with his mind, he soon discovered that their resistance was very low. Some of them even quickly changed their identities and willingly became slaves serving Sean.

In the minds of these mind flayers, they seemed to regard Sean as a "mastermind" disguised as a human.

Huett was the most fanatical one.

The mind flayers are very arrogant monsters, even the Lord of Evil cannot completely control them. They wander as a group because they failed in the struggle, and their Old Ones - the Lurkers oppressed their living space. After the main brain died unexpectedly at the hands of an Old One (demigod), the remaining mind flayers had to flee in all directions.

A group of more than ten mind flayers wandered to the vicinity of the deep pit mine.

The leader of these mind flayers was a soul eater, and it was also the underground lord that it led to surrender to, but that guy had already been killed by Sean.

"Bug-man?"

Xiao En fell into deep thought. The Mind Flayer's room was very strange. The ground was covered with a faint sticky flesh and blood tissue, which was secreted by them. Ordinary people would probably lose their sanity if they stayed here, but he adapted quickly. Xiao En looked at the Mind Flayer in front of him, whose expression was respectful and even a little devout and fanatical, and said lightly: "Go down. I understand."

In Hugh's understanding, Sean came to subvert and seize this underground city.

How could an extremely powerful mind flayer succumb to an evil creature?
Without a main brain, they are just a group of homeless vagrants, and the appearance of Sean provides them with spiritual sustenance and a spiritual leader. Just being enveloped by Sean's powerful telepathic field makes Hught so excited that he trembles all over.

God knows how much hardship they have endured after the death of the Elder Brain. The initial small group that escaped consisted of nearly thirty mind flayers, but only about half of them are alive now.

inside the room.

Xiao En fell into deep thought, and thought to himself, "Why did the Mind Flayer mistake me for the Mastermind?"

day!
When he first discovered this, Xiao En himself found it hard to believe it.

Sean originally planned to control a group of servants, stir up chaos in the Worm Nest, and look for an opportunity to assassinate the Underground Lord. However, after these mind flayers mistook him for the "Mastermind" disguised as a human, Sean's plan had to be re-formulated, because he could indeed take over the entire underground city.

"Is it because of Suen's Brain?"

Xiao En closed his eyes and sensed his brain. Everything was normal. The mysterious knowledge was very peaceful, without a trace of madness. The brain structure was similar to that of humans, except that the gray matter was highly integrated with the mysterious knowledge. The entire brain exuded a faint silver-gray aura.

His brain has evolved, with raw magic and psychic energy infused into almost every corner of his brain.

"Do I really have the aura of the Mastermind?"

"And my telepathic force field seems to be stronger and wider than other mental channels. I always thought it was because I had a higher talent for inspiration. Now it seems that it is because I digested the extraordinary essence of Suen's brain when I was promoted."

Old Days - Suen.

He once corrupted a huge fleet of the Mind Flayer Empire, directly twisting the minds of all the Mind Flayers and turning them into his fanatical servants.

In the space outside the weird country, there is still the space fortress of this interstellar fleet.

However, ever since Suen's consciousness was summoned to other Crystal Wall universes, the huge fleet of Mind Flayers has been in a state of suspension, and it seems that there has been no movement for some time.

"Mastermind."

Xiao En thought of a crazy feeling he once had. At that time, he felt that if he continued to evolve in this way, he could survive completely relying on his brain even if he left his body.

Now it seems that this feeling is not unfounded.

According to the legend, Iolum seemed to have turned into an elder master lich.

"More than a dozen mind flayers have all become my servants. Even without mind control, they will probably still be loyal to me."

"The implantation of the thought imprint was also very successful."

"After realizing that they thought I was a [Mastermind], I immediately implanted the corresponding thought imprints and mental suggestions."

"Then the next step is to consider whether we can replace the Lord of the Underground and completely seize this underground city!"

Why did the Mind Flayer mistakenly think he was a 'mastermind'? This question can be left for later study. The most important thing for Sean right now is to seize the authority of the laws of the Underground Lord.

In just one day, Xiao En moved into this underground city openly.

He had gotten all the information about the entire Worm's Nest. The underground lord's management of the city was very chaotic, and he himself probably didn't know how many servants he had, because when the mind flayers met their own kind and creatures that could be enslaved in the wild, they would bring them back directly. As long as they were not normal humans, all kinds of deformed monsters could roam freely here.

The day passed quickly.

Sean settled down directly in the strange area of ​​the Worm's Nest and did not encounter any trouble during the period because other creatures would not come to provoke the Mind Flayer.

An adult mind flayer is equivalent to a 9th-level psion.

As for why the Mind Flayers mistook him for the Mastermind, Sean roughly guessed that it had something to do with the changes in his brain. His psychic fluctuations were indeed a bit like the "Mastermind." But the root was still the mental law of Suen's Brain. His psychic fluctuations were very close to the "Suen Elder Brain" of the Mind Flayer Fleet.

This branch of mind flayers inherited the dual cultivation of the orcs and spirits, and were able to cast divine arts bestowed by the olden times.

"I never thought that I would be able to subdue the first group of followers in the city of evil creatures, even though they are brain-eating mind flayers."

Since the mind flayer mistook him for the mastermind, Sean took advantage of this and infiltrated and controlled the dungeon through the mind flayer, while trying to contact other creatures in the dungeon.

City nest.

This is the settlement of the Zerg. Sean's figure was suspended in the air more than one meter above the ground. Like other mind flayers, he floated into the Zerg's territory.

All humanoids fear the mind flayers, as they must rely on their brains to survive.

The mind flayer's combat power is in the first tier among the monsters.

"Owner."

"It's right in front. That building is the lair of the Supreme Queen." Huet lowered his head slightly, and his four tentacles swayed slightly, communicating through telepathy.

The sudden visit of six mind flayers made the insects living here nervous. Here Xiao En also saw the mantis people with four arms, which were also close relatives of humanoid insects, but their number was very rare, and adult mantis people also had some psychic talents.

Xiao En nodded slightly, and a trace of mental fluctuations came out.

"Who are you……"

A mental wave with a crazy whisper came.

This is a very powerful psychic creature, whose mental fluctuations are not much different from Sean's, and even cover a larger range. It is a bit like the 'Queen of Ants' recorded in Ms. Hecate's book.

Hundreds of meters ahead, a large number of insect guards have gathered to protect their supreme queen.

This race is a bit like a swarm of bees.

Xiao En lowered his altitude a little using the levitation technique, transmitted his mind, and said calmly: "I came here to help you!"

A wave of spiritual screams.

Soon, the other party's frantic whisper sounded again: "You... are not... a mind flayer..."

"You are……"

"You are……"

The other party seemed to hesitate, and said with a hint of fear in his voice: "You are... the mastermind!!!"

Ok?
Why would the other party mistakenly think that he is the mastermind?
Have I really mutated?

Xiao En has been in Abyss City for so long, and he has encountered extraordinary people with psychic abilities, but no one has ever mistakenly thought that he is the mastermind.

But for some reason, these monsters all thought he was the 'mastermind' in disguise.

fear.

The Supreme Queen of the Insects was clearly terrified, because the Elder Brain was a terrifying monster with a challenge level of 25, and even a Destiny Legend would have great difficulty dealing with it. Although Xiao En's strength was very different, the psychic fluctuations he emitted were very close to that of the Elder Brain.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

Xiao En's calm voice sounded: "The important thing is whether you want to return to normal?"

"Do your people want to regain their freedom?"

His words made the Supreme Queen not far away fall into deep thought. After a long time, she whispered: "Freedom? ... Becoming food for the Mind Flayer?..."

Xiao En shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"You should be able to sense that I am not an ordinary mastermind. I am a little different from them."

"I am using a human body now, so I don't need to feed on the brain."

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Xiao En is completing his own character to make the other party believe that he is different from others. After all, this is a weird country and anything can happen.

"Humanity……"

The Supreme Queen's voice was full of doubt as she murmured, "How did you take over a human body?"

She thought Xiao En had taken over her body.

Xiao En also hoped that she would think so. He thought of the great detective-Motilion, and deliberately said in an unfathomable tone: "Soul from another world..."

"But if you want to know more, you must pay a price!"

Let the other party guess for themselves.

Xiao En only revealed the information of the "Soul from Another World", and the Supreme Queen not far away became emotional. She seemed to know the existence of the Soul from Another World and murmured, "No wonder it's like this..."

"Did you capture a soul from another world?..."

In the weird kingdom, souls from other worlds are equivalent to natural treasures. In the eyes of the monsters, they all have amazing value.

The insect people in front began to make a path.

The leading insect warrior said to the other mind flayers, "Only he can enter the Queen's residence. The others must stay outside."

This means the other party has been convinced by Xiao En.

Evil creatures are crazier than any other living creatures, and all the monsters loyal to the Lord of the Underground are forced to surrender.

"Master. Be careful!" Huete sent a telepathic message.

This mind flayer is really loyal.

It is said that all mind flayers will not hesitate to use their lives to protect the Elder Brain. At present, it seems that this rumor may be true, because these mind flayers are really "loyal".

As long as they still think that Sean is the 'mastermind', they will give everything for Sean!
Even Xiao En himself began to suspect that he had the characteristics of a mastermind.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why his psychic power is so much stronger than that of ordinary psychic extraordinary people. It is only the blessing brought by the inspiration talent, which is not enough to expand the psychic energy pool and telepathic force field to the current strength.

This is a building that looks like an insect's nest, with many tiny holes on the outside.

Xiao En stepped in slowly.

With just one glance, he saw the enchanting female back, but her lower body was like a fat and huge insect tail, like a queen ant or queen bee, and her huge egg-laying organs almost filled the entire room.

This is the Supreme Queen of the dwarves. The leader of every group is the Supreme Queen. Behind her is a pile of things that look like ant eggs, with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters.

The other party's facial features are closer to those of humans. She does not have the grayish-white stratum corneum, but her hair has grown whip-like hair like the Queen of Blades. Her upper body is very similar to that of a human, with two twenty-centimeter-long tentacles on her forehead. Her facial features reveal a strange and enchanting beauty. She has towering breasts and wears gorgeous leather armor. Below her slender waist, her deformed, twisted, and fat lower body looks like a Zerg mother, completely treated as a reproductive tool.

The Zerg are an intelligent race, and their Supreme Queen is on the verge of losing control.

“He polluted me.”

"Use me as a tool for breeding slaves, and imprison me here forever."

Shude-Mel was also of the old bloodline of the insect race. He had somehow controlled and enslaved the Queen of the Dwarves in front of him, and had also caused her flesh and blood to deform, with her entire lower body twisted into a fat insect.

Xiao En looked at the other person calmly and communicated with him through his mind: "That's why I came here."

If he could correct the madness of the out-of-control person, then he might be able to cure the insect queen before him.

If the termites turn against us at the critical moment, this underground city will collapse!

The mastermind is the mastermind.

He is now the mastermind - Sean.
