Xiao Ran asked C. C to give everyone present the ability to GEASS. This was a complete preparation to pull Lloyd from the ship into the water. Cecil among the three was just incidental, and Suzaku Kururugi naturally had nothing good. By the way, there have been rumors in a certain circle that Princess Euphemia, in order to promote the common prosperity and development of Area 11, accepted an ELEVEN as a disciple represented by Knight Xiao, and he was also the person who was once suspected of killing Clovis.
It's a bit funny to say that one of the two disciples of Xiao Ran happens to be the two key figures in the Clovis incident. One is Jeremiah who caught the suspect and forcibly framed the crime on Suzaku Kururugi. The other is Suzaku Kururugi, who is regarded as a suspect. In short, until now, Jeremiah and Suzaku Kururugi have never seen each other since ZERO came out to save people, and they are also labeled as senior brothers and junior brothers.
One person who accepted the GEASS ability was Suzaku Kururugi. Lloyd and Cecil looked at C. C with curiosity and took the initiative to hold Suzaku Kururugi's hand, wanting to see what kind of special ability Xiao Ran was talking about.
The moment Suzaku Kururugi touched C. C's hand, his face suddenly started to turn red, but suddenly his whole expression became dull and he fell into the spiritual world. In the eyes of Lloyd and Cecil, what was even more incredible was that the girl in their eyes was unscientifically flashing green light, and her long green hair floated against gravity.
Looking at the scene that actually appeared in front of them in disbelief, Lloyd and Cecil used the same movements and looked at Xiao Ran next to them with confused and shocked faces.
"Shh." Xiao Ran put his hand in front of his lips and blew lightly. Lloyd and Cecil's doubts were suppressed immediately, causing their faces to turn unnaturally red. Looking at Suzaku Kururugi, who was in an unknown state, and C. C, who was emitting green light, their thoughts were wandering to nowhere.
In less than a minute, the green light disappeared, and C. C opened his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Ran with a strange look on his face. This expression also made Xiao Ran stunned for a moment, and asked, "What ability did he obtain?"
C. C glanced at Suzaku Kururugi, who was still in a daze. It was obvious that the same bird runes as Lelouch appeared in Suzaku Kururugi's eyes. "It's a very strange ability. At least in so many years, I never thought that such a GEASS ability would appear."
Xiao Ran frowned slightly. "What exactly is it, and what contract did you sign with him."
"The contract is a powerful force that assists Black Knights to achieve change in the world, and to protect and change the heart that longs for." C. C's chest rose and fell twice and said, "Your ability is to make others unknowingly loyal to your king during long-term contact. Power, ZERO's ability is to force others to execute the current command King's Power. I also know someone who wants to understand and obtain the mind-reading ability, but the same thing is that your abilities all act on others... but..."
"But this guy's ability is to act on himself." C. C said with a weird look, "His ability is to make himself stronger by protecting and changing his mood. Jane Single Point said that it is to hypnotize himself to gain stronger power, reaction speed, enter the state most suitable for fighting, and improve his strength. It cannot be used on anyone except himself."
Xiao Ran also showed a strange expression when he heard C. C's words. In other words, the ability obtained by Suzaku Kururugi acts on himself, just like putting a BUFF on himself to make himself stronger and more suitable for fighting, and then use this power to protect the people he wants to protect and change the things he wants to change. It is a GEASS ability that is completely only for his own use. Should it be said that it is indeed an ability developed by a fool?
Of course, this is not to say that this ability is not good. Just like Xiao Ran's own skill Spirit Burst, it is an ability that can greatly enhance strength. However, most of the GEASS abilities are used to target others. In game terms, it is a top attack skill, but now such a weird thing has appeared? He actually used all the experience points to upgrade his level and then drew A with nothing?
"I understand." Xiao Ran glanced at Suzaku Kururugi, who was gradually coming back to his senses, and said to C. C: "Actually, this is not bad. At least enhancing personal reaction speed, strength, and flexibility will also have great advantages in aircraft driving. This ability is very suitable for him."
"ZERO has the ability to forcibly control others to execute orders. What is your ability to make others loyal to you during long-term contact with you?" Lloyd pushed up his glasses and suddenly said, "So there is such a special thing in this world. When ZERO rescued Suzaku Kururugi, was this the reason for Jeremiah's abnormal behavior? But why didn't I feel that I regarded you as my master?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Because I didn't use that ability on you, and even if I did, you wouldn't be able to notice the subtle changes, because it's not about changing your mind, but planting a seed of loyalty to me in your heart, absorbing my ability as nourishment, and naturally taking root and sprouting in your heart. Otherwise, it won't bring any changes to you, and it's naturally impossible to detect it."
"The collective name for these abilities is called GEASS. There are many people in the empire who have GEASS abilities. The first knight Bismark, whose sealed eyes can predict the future for a short time, and your His Majesty the Emperor, whose ability is to change other people's past memories. In this way, you can also change and control others."
"Of course there are also some other GEASS ability users, such as reading minds, affecting other people's perception of time, etc. These are basically the GEASS abilities used on him."
"Interesting." Lloyd nodded with a smile and pointed at himself, "Now it's my turn. I'm curious about what kind of abilities I will get. What is my inner pursuit? What I pursue is to create a more powerful body and master more advanced technology."
C. C had just given Suzaku Kururugi GEASS the ability, and now he held Lloyd's hand and did the same thing again.
When Lloyd woke up, Suzaku Kururugi grabbed his hair and walked to the side. He kept looking at his open and then clenched fists, as if he was feeling the new power he had gained.
But this time, Xiao Ran did not ask what kind of abilities C. C Lloyd had acquired. Lloyd himself took the initiative and spoke with interest, "It is interesting to pursue the things and pursuits that the heart desires most, and to follow the heart and manifest the special power GEASS. It is really interesting."
Xiao Ran did not speak, but looked at Lloyd and said to himself excitedly, "What I pursue is the development of technology, and its essence is also the acquisition of knowledge. I want to learn more things, master those things faster, and then apply those new technologies, so the ultimate ability gained is accelerated learning. No, it is not real acceleration, but a two-way accelerated communication from the spiritual level."
"The GEASS ability I acquired allows my mind to operate several times faster than normal, allowing me to quickly master and learn technology. In turn, what I have mastered can also put others into a similar state when teaching others, extending one second to several times more mentally. However, although my mind can keep up, my body cannot keep up with the movements of my mind."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. The ability obtained by Lloyd is a bit strange. There is a person in Xiao Ran's memory who can temporarily block other people's perception of the world. Then the ability obtained by Lloyd is completely opposite to that person's ability. It strengthens the sensitivity to time and extends every second on the spiritual level.
If this ability is used in battle, it will be really useful. Just like when Xiao Ran turns on Spirit Burst, there will also be a feeling that time is slowing down. It has also brought a lot of help to Xiao Ran.
But Lloyd's ability is a bit exaggerated. It can not only affect oneself but also others. Of course, in Xiao Ran's view, the so-called influencing oneself is just a special manifestation of Mental Power's use. Many powerful Mental Power people can do such a thing, but influencing others is not something that a person who has just come into contact with Mental Power can achieve.
However, GEASS's abilities are always flawed. Unless a person like Xiao Ran has powerful Mental Power and control abilities, there is no need to worry about the GEASS ability going rampant. And if the ability like Lloyd goes rampant, then it is estimated that Lloyd will be mentally trapped in that second forever, forever watching the stagnant picture in front of him sink into endless eternity.
Xiao Ran was silent for a moment and asked, "What are the conditions for use?"
"Conditions of use?" Lloyd looked very strange and asked in confusion, "Isn't it possible to use it if you want to?"
C. C said to Xiao Ran on the side, "It should be a domain-type ability. The scope and duration of influence need to be tried by himself. It should be like most other abilities, there will be some restrictions."
Xiao Ran nodded and reminded Lloyd: "You'd better not use this ability often. Once used, the GEASS ability will continue to grow. The more you use it, the faster it will grow, until it grows beyond your control. At that time, you may be permanently trapped in that second and never be able to return to normal. You may not be able to do it even if you want to die."
Xiao Ran looked at Suzaku Kururugi, who was scratching his head, with a strange look. "But that guy Suzaku Kururugi... if his ability goes berserk, doesn't it mean that this guy will always be in a strengthened state?"
The excited expression on Lloyd's face froze as Xiao Ran finished speaking, and then Xiao Ran's voice sounded in his ears again, "But there should be no problem in a short period of time. The strengthening potion I am going to give you next can greatly enhance your physical fitness, control ability will also be improved, and your mental aspect will also be enhanced to a certain extent. Just pay attention to the ability to use it, but don't overdo it."
Lloyd first breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded seriously. "I will."
The last one is Cecil. When Xiao Ran turned to look at Cecil, Cecil seemed to notice Xiao Ran's gaze, C. C's gaze, Lloyd The eyes of and Suzaku Kururugi were focused on him, and he immediately raised his hands and shook them, shaking his head. "I don't need it, I don't need such an ability, there is no need to waste such an opportunity on me."
C. C shrugged his shoulders, and Xiao Ran also said, "If you don't want to accept this ability, then forget it. Let's go inside first. I have a few words to say before the next step of strengthening."
After several people followed Xiao Ran into the room and sat down, Xiao Ran opened his mouth and said to several people, "About Black Knights, this organization was established by me and ZERO, but Black Knights's affairs are now basically handled by ZER O is handling it, he is responsible for outside the empire, and I am responsible for the inside of the empire. The goal of this organization is to stand on the side of the weak as a messenger of justice, as ZERO declared before. Whoever dares to extend a butcher knife to civilians will be Black Knights's enemy and will be punished by us."
"For now, no matter whether you are a member of Black Knights or not, and whether you are related to Black Knights or not, you are already related to me. It is inevitable that you will be regarded as a member of Black Knights by common sense. There is no way to escape the relationship, so from now on, we are considered a real family."
"As a family, I can tell you now that Black Knights is not actually a real outsider to the empire. There is no need to think that you have betrayed the empire, because ZERO's true identity is a prince. Our current position and behavior are just siding with the prince, eliminating other competitors for him and finally taking that position. It is just a family matter, not a state matter."
Xiao Ran's words were very straightforward. Cecil lowered his head silently. In the corner of his eyes, Suzaku Kururugi, who was also silent, and Lloyd, who held his chin and squinted his eyes, E jumped back and forth between the two of them, and Xiao Ran, the person who suddenly put a lot of pressure on her, made Cecil not even have the courage to look directly at the other person.
But what Xiao Ran said shocked Cecil even more. ZERO, the person who killed Prince Clovis, was actually a prince. When did an unknown prince appear in Area 11, and even committed brother-killing? Does this kind of person who doesn't even care about family ties really want to do things for him?
Lloyd can clearly see how many tragic things have happened over the years for the sake of the throne. Not to mention just killing a brother, even more terrible things have happened, and Lloyd consciously I can understand Xiao Ran and think that Xiao Ran is not the kind of person who is willing to help evil people, so Lloyd thinks there must be some secrets in it.
Lloyd thought for a while and suddenly asked, "I just want to know what kind of relationship you have with that prince."
Xiao Ran glanced at Lloyd and said with a smile, "It is an equal partnership, but if I have to say that I am the one who takes the lead in this partnership, once the right opportunity comes, the one who will actually sit on the throne will not be this prince, but another Princess. People on both sides of the partnership understand this very well."
