Chapter 207: The Seal of Thought! The Mind Flayer Rebellion!

Talent attributes are not static.

In the era of the Slaughter Godson, there were many strange items that could permanently increase basic attributes, and if you read the legendary Nether Scroll, you could also permanently increase your intelligence and knowledge. Strictly speaking, the "Eternal Chase" did not increase your attribute limit, but only converted your perception attribute into intelligence attribute. Reading those taboo knowledge would hurt your mental will, but in the weird kingdom, you don't need to care so much, being able to permanently improve your intelligence attribute is enough.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Scripture of Eternal Exile can be copied, and it also possesses the same strange power."

Improving intelligence at the cost of perception means that Sean can train a large number of spellcasters. It is difficult to find a genius with a basic intelligence of 18 points in the real country, but it is not difficult to find a human with an intelligence of 14-16 points. As long as they finish reading the "Book of Eternal Chase", they have the potential to be promoted to arcanists.

The advancement path for an arcanist requires very high basic intelligence. Without such strong comprehension ability, there is no way to be promoted.

According to Sean's calculations, an arcanist needs at least 16 points of intelligence, and of course 18 points of intelligence would be even better.

He currently has few geniuses with 18 intelligence points, but it is not difficult to find a group of outstanding talents with about 16 intelligence points. Moreover, among the lost stars of the Garden Planet, there are a lot of people with intelligence points above 14, but they just have some personality defects. Xiao En is good at the ability of the mind channel, so it is not difficult to modify their personality defects. (PS: Ordinary people who have received university education in the real country generally have an intelligence of about 14 points. People who receive normal modern education basically have an intelligence of more than 12 points.)
"This means that hundreds of thousands of mages will be born in the Weird Kingdom!"

When Sean started, he thought that there might be many highly intelligent humans on the Garden Planet, but he didn't expect that the number would be larger than he expected.

"The safety of these lost star citizens must be guaranteed."

A cold gleam appeared in Xiao En's eyes, and he decided to take a slightly risky action.

——Assimilation (9th level psychic power)!

In an instant.

The moment Sean's fingers turned into obsidian-like luster and touched the mind-stealing magician in front of him, the opponent's body began to melt. It was completely swallowed by Sean, and all the flesh and blood merged into Sean's body, giving him an additional blessing of +4 to all attributes.

After completely assimilating the opponent's body, Sean immediately transformed into a mind flayer, looking almost exactly like his target.

After the assimilation technique digests the target, Xiao En's disguise judgment is increased by an additional +10, which is almost the same as replacing the opponent's identity. Moreover, he can read the enemy's thoughts and memories, tamper with the enemy's memory cognition, and can perfectly replace the target's identity.

It was the first time that Pandora saw a human "eat" a mind flayer. There was a gleam in her eyes, and she seemed to be very interested in this power.

The inner nature of the Lost Star People is somewhat dark, just like the Githyanki. Creatures that have been enslaved by the Mind Flayers will have a certain degree of mental distortion. Her hatred for the Mind Flayers is just not expressed. When she has power, these Lost Star People will burst out with their repressed nature like the Githyanki. (PS: After being enslaved, the dwarves were distorted into gray dwarves.)
"teacher."

"I discovered more than 100,000 lost humans with the potential to be spellcasters on the Garden Planet." Sean further increased the stakes and persuaded the indigenous forces of the Weird Kingdom.

After a while.

Lady Hecate's solemn voice sounded: "I understand. Don't act rashly. I will go there myself."

With so many potential spellcasters, even Lady Hecate couldn't sit idly by.

Xiao En shook his head slightly and said, "Teacher, I have a plan."

All along, Xiao En has not relied too much on the ability of mind imprinting, because he does not want to forcibly distort the will of ordinary people. At most, specific targets, such as the monster doctor, will be planted with mind imprints by him. Now on the Garden Planet, he has no such concerns. The will of Su En's mind flayer has already been distorted by the Old Days. Xiao En planting a mind imprint is nothing more than letting them change the master they follow.

Because of the special nature of the mental channel, Xiao En will almost certainly confront Su En in the future, even if it means destroying a fleet of mind flayers under his control before he returns to the distant country.

"lead the way!"

Sean controlled the will of others and mixed in with the team of Mind Flayers. He walked out of the manor along the 12 skull farms and flew towards a strange group of Mind Flayer buildings.

The Suen Mind Flayer Fleet of the Garden Planet originated from the Mind Flayer Empire Expeditionary Force at the end of the Old God Era.

This involves some legends from ancient times, and even Sean is not very clear about it, he only knows the general situation. The ancient mind flayers are said to have traveled from the distant future to the past, and brought with them an extremely large interstellar fleet. The ancient sages of the Faerun plane also recorded the fleet of the mind flayers. In the darkness, densely packed warships filled the sky and conquered many planetary worlds.

It was at that time that the Gith were enslaved.

At its peak, the Mind Flayer Empire controlled many worlds. After completely enslaving the Gith, they sent out an expeditionary force. A large fleet roamed along the astral plane to the end of time and space. Eventually, this expeditionary force completely lost contact.

They encountered Suen.

The entire Mind Flayer expeditionary fleet was corrupted, and the huge fleet became Suen's slaves and was stationed in a distant country.

The fleet of Suen's Mind Flayers arrived in the Dark Ages, about a thousand years ago. They landed in the Terra galaxy with Suen. Suen was a superior Old One from an unknown galaxy. After eroding and corrupting his original galaxy, this powerful Old One sensed the power of Holy Terra, and then led the enslaved Mind Flayer fleet into the grotesque kingdom.

At that time, the Fallen Mother Goddess had already arrived and the entire Garden Planet had fallen.

So Suen the Mind Flayer took advantage of the situation, directly occupied the Garden Planet, and turned the twelve satellites into his own space base.

The Nobodies once tried to retake the planet.

However, there were too many Old Ones entrenched in the weird kingdom, and they could not hold on to the Garden Planet even if they conquered it. At that time, the total human population was only more than 20 million, and they could only retreat to the real kingdom protected by the Twelve Realms of Clock Nirvana.

Even today, Sean and others are unable to completely recapture the Garden Planet. The best they can do is establish a space colony.

soon.

A strange dome-shaped building appeared in front of them. More than half of its space was underground. There were a large number of Mind Flayer troops guarding it around it. Patrolling 'Suen Soldiers' could also be seen. These were alchemical creatures made from essence, using twisted laws of life, and were directly hatched 'alchemical creations'.

It can be understood this way.

The alchemical construction army of Suen's mind flayer has an incubation mother body inside. It is like a mass of disgusting mucus polymer, and then in the process of excretion and spitting, it directly synthesizes and gives birth to "offspring". These offspring are alchemical constructs.

The robot gave birth to a bunch of robots in the same way as flesh and blood creatures.

——Sunn's Fanatic [Large Construct] (CR 10+)? !

This giant, slug-like creature has a mane of jars, each filled with a glowing green liquid, and the front of its body is made entirely of a mouth, a large, foaming mouth. When the mind flayer team arrived, it was in the process of giving birth, rapidly creating constructs within its body, and then vomiting a construct in a corrosive sphere.

A Suen's Zealot can safely use its launch spawning ability twice per day if it has enough essence, directly producing - Suen's Storm Cloud (CR 5), Suen's War Scythe (CR 6).

Suen's War Scythe is a four-armed silver robot that is perfectly constructed to wield the two evil-looking scythes it carries to attack its enemies.

——Suen’s Crazy Craftsman [Alchemist] (Challenge Level 10+)!
In the entire huge Mind Flayer base, you can see a large number of Mind Flayer alchemists. After being corrupted by Suen, they have mastered very advanced alchemical technology. The entire expedition fleet is equipped with a large number of alchemical constructs, which are equivalent to the mage's golem legion. Their combat effectiveness is slightly worse, but their numbers are huge and the cost is relatively low.

——Suen’s Soldiers (CR 8)!
- Suen's Flesh Golem (CR 13)! (Similar to the Flesh Golem.)
Thousands of constructed life forms guarded the Elder Brain's lair, and as they moved forward along the flesh-and-blood carpet-like building, soon a building that looked like a brain pool appeared before their eyes.

The genetic technology of the Suen mind flayers is different from that of ordinary mind flayers, and they have a large number of elder brains.

Normal Mind Flayers usually have only one powerful Mastermind, but in the fleet of the Suen Mind Flayers, each warship usually has one Elder Brain. They can use the brains of other Mind Flayers to synthesize new Elder Brains through special blood sacrifice rituals.

——Follower of Suen (CR 10).

Xiao En saw strange mind flayers wearing heavy armor, with chains wrapped around their bodies, and holding flails and other weapons. They were stronger than other mind flayers. These were Suen's priests. Their equipment was very eye-catching, +1 full body heavy armor, +1 heavy flails, and Suen emblems on their bodies. They usually guarded near the Elder Brain's lair.

These enemies can cast divine spells and possess psychic energy. A small number of them will be promoted to become "divine masters", that is, spellcasters who are proficient in both divine spells and psychic energy.

—— Elder Suen’s Brain [Large Abnormality] (CR 15-25)? !

After passing through a dark passage, Xiao En smelled a disgusting fishy odor. Outside the nest were two powerful brain golems. After passing through the secret room of dozens of hatching pods, he arrived at the Brain Pool Hall where the Elder Brain was located.

No one knows how many Elder Brains there are on the entire Garden Planet. They act as the spiritual leaders of the Mind Flayer community, and can download the Mind Flayer's inherited knowledge through the Elder Brains.

They are akin to a biological computer.

During the process of promotion, the mind flayers copy the expertise, knowledge, spells, etc. from them. After the download is complete, they go back and practice slowly.

Above the cerebral cistern.

A purple spherical mass floating in the air looks like a giant brain with tentacles dragging around, emitting extremely strong psychic fluctuations. This is obviously an elder brain that has been transformed for a long time. It has exceeded the most basic challenge level 15 and possesses psychic powers close to those of a normal main brain.

Dead mind flayers will donate their brains to the Elder Brain, which will continuously improve its own biological level after devouring them.

After Suen's corruption, his genes replaced quality with quantity. The elder brains were distributed in various communities of the mind flayers, firmly controlling everything in the expedition fleet. The new species they bred in the last few hundred years was the shadow mind flayers, in addition to other alien mind flayers.

The old corrupted races, even the mind flayers, became hated by their own kind. The normal mind flayers in the grotesque kingdom would basically fight to the death when they saw the Suen mind flayers.

They are blasphemers, pagans, heretics who are not loyal to the Mastermind.

"Su En...Su En..."

Unlike other main brains, the elder brain will murmur when nothing is happening, constantly repeating the word "Su En".

If the Suen Mind Flayer fleet goes on an expedition, the Elder Brain will enter the saltwater pool in the central cabin and serve as a special mental center that controls the entire interstellar battleship, providing assistance to the Mind Flayer's helmsman and commanding the fleet's battles.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"The fluctuation of the law of [Confusion Field] has been detected."

After entering the brain pool of Elder Suen, the genes in Xiao En's body began to move. That was the power that came from Suen's brain.

The data from Elder Suen's brain was instantly interpreted, because Suen's brain recorded their abilities.

——Dual Attack [Talented Ability]: Elder Brain of Suen is a creature composed of multiple consciousnesses, all of which have touched the unreal things in the distant kingdom. So they can attack twice at the same time, with the higher will body being the round of mental activity and the lower will body being the round of physical activity. This means that Elder Brain of Suen can make more attack actions in one round than most creatures.

——Confusion Field [Field Law]: Elder Suen’s Brain can disrupt the thoughts of creatures around it. This ability is similar to the spell "Confusion". All creatures within a radius of 30 meters around Elder Suen’s Brain will be affected.

Some of Xiao En's abilities are almost identical to Elder Su En's brain.

"Who are you?!" In an instant, Elder Su En's whisper sounded in his head.

Similar sources of power.

Both creatures possess extraordinary essences derived from Suen, but the Elder Brain is a gift from Suen, while Xiaoen's is derived from plunder and theft.

——Confused field [field laws]!
Xiao En activated the field of confusion in an instant. His law ability was obviously far superior to that of the elder's brain in front of him. The moment the field of confusion spread, the other party entered a strange state of confusion.

The suppressive effect of the superior!

Xiao En never thought that one day he would be able to experience the suppression of the superior's domain. He instantly deprived the opponent of the [Confusion Domain] and put his mind into a confused state. Then his extremely powerful will began to erode the opponent's mind.

"Invading the other person's mind!"

"Implant the [Thought Imprint]!"

The salt water of the entire brain pool was surging, and there were unhatched mind flayer tadpoles in it. They died instantly and were crushed in the vibrations of the mind. Although no overt battle broke out, the powerful psychic fluctuations distorted the surrounding space, presenting a brilliant nebula-like brilliance.

This is a competition of will and psychic power!
In order to control the elder's thoughts, Xiao En invaded the elder's body with his mind, constantly adding layer upon layer of thought imprints until finally forming an unbreakable [Thought Stamp].

The difficulty of mind control this time is far greater than in the past, because the Elder Brain is a legendary creature and its will to resist is very strong.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xiao En's will finally pierced the Elder Brain's mental defenses. After planting his own mark, the Elder Brain murmured, "Praise Su En!"

"Praise the great one!..."

A loophole in its mind has appeared. It regards Xiao En as Su En's follower and obeys his orders deep in its heart.

Xiao En's whispers rang out: "The Great Mastermind betrayed the great Su En!"

"Call the Mind Flayers of the Ninth Fleet!"

A terrifying psychic energy wave erupted.

The memory that Xiao En tampered with was implanted into the consciousness of the elder brain, and it had a 'false' memory.

next second.

All the Suen Mind Flayers belonging to the Ninth Fleet received orders from the Elder Brain. The Big Brain betrayed Suen. It used a trap to lure Suen to other Crystal Wall universes and caused the great Suen to fall into trouble. The loyal Suen Mind Flayers must kill the Big Brain to ensure their absolute loyalty to the great Suen!

hum!
Thousands of Suen constructs began to assemble, and Nautilus battleships took off. The Suen mind flayers were "the vassal of my vassal, not my vassal". These mind flayers were loyal to the Elder Brain that bred them, and their obedience to the Great Master Brain was nominal. They were similar to feudal lords and had their own mind flayer settlements.

The fleet of the Suen Mind Flayer has rebelled!
