Chapter 123
Li Mu It's been less than a minute since the control ended. The researcher who just left has already returned with his people.
Looking at the brainwashed researcher sitting on the sofa, the researcher who returned could no longer feel that something was wrong. Seeing that the colleague next to him also shook his head, he could only smile helplessly and blamed himself for being too tired recently.
"This world is really unfriendly."
Li Mu put on Illusionary Body Curse and sneered in his heart.
His Disguise Talent has reached LV10, and his third characteristic is deception, which can make the unreasonable aspects of his disguise appear reasonable in the eyes of others, but an ordinary person still has doubts about his disguised Tom.
But it's not surprising, the life of the entire world comes from Adam and Lilith.
All human beings originate from the same life.
Even though the soul is constantly destroyed and reborn, the most essential connection between all human souls remains. He can disguise 99%, but cannot disguise the last 1% of the soul. Otherwise, an ordinary person would not be able to instinctively realize that he is not a "person" in this world.
Unless he consumes the deep power of HuoZhong Source Power to inspire fraud, he will not be able to deceive these people at all.
After the two researchers left, Li Mu immediately began to check the researcher's memory through Legilimency.
The researcher controlled by him is called Tom. He is forty years old and in his prime. He is mainly responsible for the cloning of the Adam gene. However, there has been no success for several years. Cloning the Adam gene is not difficult. The difficulty is how to control the monster cloned from the Adam gene.
That night, Li Mu brought Tom to Precursor Light Wheel's biochemical laboratory.
Operate the equipment inside to decipher and clone the gene of Tom.
At the same time, he also used the technology used to make Horcrux to extract the soul of Tom from his body, and then conducted the most detailed research on the soul of Tom. After spending most of the night exploring, he finally made some surprising discoveries.
Countless lives were born in these worlds because of the amniotic fluid of Lilith, which is filled with soul matter.
Although these soul substances are much different from the soul substances contained in the Fruit of Life eaten by Adam, with the size of Lilith, the entire world is still filled with thin soul substances over billions of years.
Li Mu instilled his Mental Power into Tom through Nightmare Projection and Mental Contamination.
Through his Mental Power, he stimulated Tom's soul, causing Tom's soul to release all Mental Power in a short period of time. As a result, Tom, a soul material that ordinary humans cannot control at all, was actually manipulated by Tom's soul in this state.
Logically speaking, the stronger the soul, the stronger Mental Power should be.
According to the soul strength of Tom, Mental Power can at least lift dozens of kilograms of weight in other worlds.
But in this world, Tom cannot be released even a little Mental Power.
Because Tom's soul is very strong, it's like it has a shell on the surface. This shell makes Tom's soul have strong resistance to Imperius Curse, but it also makes Tom's Mental Power trapped in the soul and unable to be released.
Because the Mental Power he instilled has broken this shell, Tom can release his Mental Power to pry the soul matter.
Being able to manipulate soul matter can theoretically unfold the AT Field unique to this world.
After half an hour of training, he was able to use the soul of Tom to generate AT Field, which is only the size of a palm.
Although AT Field is not as strong as Adam, the first apostle, and the fourteen apostles he gave birth to, Tom's AT Field can also withstand armor-piercing bullets, which made him immediately start trying to use his own Mental Power to pry the soul material.
However, it is completely impossible to rely on his Mental Power, because these soul substances do not accept his Mental Power at all.
Even the soul material repels Mental Power who suppresses him. In addition to the shell outside Tom's soul, the soul material's repulsion is also one of the reasons why Tom has such strong resistance in the face of Imperius Curse. He only thought of one way to relieve the repulsion.
In the following days, all researchers studying the Adam gene have been controlled by Mental Contamination.
It didn't matter that it took several hundred researchers in total several days to complete the control. What was even more unacceptable to Li Mu was that Mental Contamination was slowly failing, because even the souls of ordinary humans have strong self-rescue capabilities against external erosion.
Therefore, time is tight, and polluting the spiritual consciousness of so many researchers at the same time is also a huge burden for him.
Since all the researchers in the laboratory have become their own, Li Mu can finally have access to Adam's genes.
As soon as he got the Adam gene, he sent it to the biochemical laboratory of Precursor Light Wheel.
Precursors's gene cloning technology is very powerful. In less than half a day, Adam's genes were mixed with Tom's genes to clone an artificial apostle about eighty meters high. Compared with the real apostle, it just lacks the infinite soul material brought by Fruit of Life.
It is actually not difficult to create such a clone, and Sea Serpent Base can also create such a clone.
But they were all destroyed in the end because there was no way to control these monsters.
NERV, a subsidiary of SEELE, is able to openly build bases in various countries because they have mastered the technology of controlling artificial apostles and put the cloned artificial apostles in straitjackets that suppress the power of artificial apostles. These straitjackets look like humanoid mechas in appearance.
Without peeling off the outer shell of the straitjacket, it is difficult to discover the artificial apostle imprisoned inside.
Sea Serpent Base does not have the technology to make straitjackets, so naturally it is impossible to successfully control the power of artificial apostles.
But through animation, Li Mu knows what NERV's core technology is for controlling artificial apostles.
Since these artificial apostles are clones, they naturally have no souls in their bodies.
NERV's method is to inject the soul into the artificial apostle, and let the artificial apostle devour and assimilate a human being. Since the human being itself is also part of the apostle born by Lilith, the human soul integrated into the artificial apostle can control part of the artificial apostle's power.
Because human souls are too weak for artificial apostles, this kind of control is very limited. Therefore, the humanoid weapons formed after each artificial apostle puts on a straitjacket are driven by the most direct blood relatives of the sacrificed humans.
The overall principle is like this. Li Mu doesn't know the specific technology, but he can find a substitute.
He didn't know how to fuse a human and an artificial apostle, so he directly fused the genes of Tom and the genes of Adam as a humanoid Kaiju for cloning. He didn't know how to fuse the artificial apostle with the human soul, so he used Horcrux technology to inject the soul of Tom into the artificial apostle as Horcrux.
He doesn't know how to make a straitjacket, but he can make a surface armor and Alchemical Enchantment.
Through the power of magic, the power of artificial apostles is suppressed and released steadily.
In less than ten days, Li Mu has created a magic version of the EVA humanoid body in Precursor Light Wheel.
Although it was created, he could not control this machine.
But it doesn't matter, he still has Anchor of Fantasy.
Li Mu stood on the head of the EVA humanoid body. The power of Anchor of Fantasy in Phoenix's soul was continuously injected into the body under his feet. A full 20,000 calories of HuoZhong Source Power were integrated into it. This magical version of the EVA humanoid body was successfully transformed into Spark EVA.
Li Mu Apparition pulled away, hanging in the air and looking down at Spark EVA, which was a hundred meters high.
The surface is a red shell made by Core Light Iron, which looks just like a humanoid mecha Freedom Gundam. The cold weapon in its hand is an enlarged Glorious Scepter. It is also equipped with six long-range Thermal Beam Cannon and short-range Spatial Shockwave generators.
His copycat version of EVA is definitely not weaker than the EVA produced by NERV.
Li Mu stretched out his hand, and Spark EVA shrank into a ball of cyan flame and fell into his hand.
[Freedom Gundam: Half-fire alchemical life]
[Quality: Cyan Earth Grade]
[Attributes: Depends on the driver, the maximum strength does not exceed the first apostle Adam]
[Equipment: Thermal Beam Cannon, space shock wave]
[Active skill: AT Field]
[Active skill: Apparition]
[Passive skill: Human Instrumentality]
Spark EVA was named Freedom Gundam because he picked up a model of Freedom Gundam when he was a child.
Besides, Freedom Gundam is also pretty good-looking, and he saves the trouble of designing the appearance himself.
Although this Spark EVA was made by him, after the transformation of Anchor of Fantasy, the final properties were beyond his expectation, because this is also a special Spark Creation made by Fantasy Conversion that can grow.
Because the core is the gene of Adam, the passive ability of Human Instrumentality was obtained through Fantasy Conversion.
The specific effect is that it can swallow all the products of Tree of Life, whether they are other apostles made by Adam, or Lilith and those originating from Lilith humans, or Spear of Longinus transformed from the roots of Tree of Life, can continue to evolve and grow through Human Instrumentality integrating into Spark EVA.
If it could really swallow everything and completely complete it, this Spark EVA might become a god in this world.
But if they want to completely complete it, the human beings in this world will only die.
Li Mu Now I understand somewhat why those people in SEELE completely ignore the life and death of human beings around the world.
Because the opportunity to become a god is right in front of you, who wouldn't be tempted by it?
After careful consideration, Li Mu finally decided to relax.
Conquering Human Civilization will get HuoZhong Source Power rewards. Although destroying Human Civilization will not deduct HuoZhong Source Power, it will damage the luck of human civilization. The result is that in the two different worlds he has conquered, both Phoenix Empire will encounter a little trouble due to the damage to their luck.
However, the Human Instrumentality he wants to carry out will not completely give up on humanity in the end.
Swallowing all human beings is not a problem, but swallowing those who are about to die is not a problem. Human lifespan is very short. He can wait until human beings die normally before integrating into Spark EVA. In this way, not only will Spark EVA be unable to be completed, but the souls of dead humans can also stay in Spark EVA for almost eternity.
This kills two birds with one stone, Li Mu can't find a better solution than this.
Apparition, Li Mu directly enter the cockpit of Freedom Gundam.
The cockpit of the EVA humanoid weapon manufactured by NERV is located on the spine of EVA, which is filled with Lilith amniotic fluid, so that the driver can mentally connect with EVA. However, his Freedom Gundam cockpit is located on the chest and abdomen, and the head is not Freedom Gundam's Achilles' heel.
Moreover, he does not have the amniotic fluid of Lilith. He relies on the soul fusion technology of Horcrux to control Freedom Gundam.
There is no difference between controlling this Freedom Gundam and controlling the clone of Horcrux.
Li Mu sat in the driver's seat, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. His spiritual consciousness controlled the humanoid body of Freedom Gundam through the soul of Tom. In this state, the soul material that was originally completely uncontrollable was immediately mobilized by his Mental Power like an arm and a finger.
Li Mu raised his right hand, and layers of golden polygonal force fields immediately extended outward from his palm.
If the space in the Herald's light wheel hadn't been able to withstand the torment, he would have released a nuclear bomb now to test the defensive strength of the AT force field. The AT force field constantly changed its shape under his control, from a spherical shape that enveloped the whole body, to a shield and a spear that could change at will.
To put it bluntly, this is just a control technique. There is no difference in technique between controlling soul matter and controlling HuoZhong Magic Power.
Apparition, Freedom Gundam shuttled hundreds of meters away in a swish.
The whole body enchantment Apparition, Freedom Gundam can be Apparition once every ten seconds on average.
AT Field can't hold it on at the critical moment. This is a life-saving means at a critical moment.
In fact, it is not Alchemical Enchantment Apparition. It is okay to rely solely on him to Apparition. However, such a large machine weighs several thousand tons. It is also a huge consumption for him to Apparition it once. Alchemical Enchantment mainly plays the role of reducing consumption.
Li Mu is like getting a new toy. It is very refreshing to operate Freedom Gundam.
However, a problem soon appeared. His Mental Power was consumed very quickly.
Even if Innate Spark turned into a little sun and continuously restored Mental Power, he would not be able to control Freedom Gundam for a long time. In the end, it was just a clone created by the genes of Adam. Although it could control AT Field, it lacked the Fruit of Life fragments that a true apostle possesses.
The soul material mobilized now consumes his Mental Power.
But if you kill a genuine apostle and get the Fruit of Life fragment through Human Instrumentality, Freedom Gundam can infinitely control AT Field like a perpetual motion machine. Although it will still consume his Mental Power, it can reduce the consumption countless times. After all, one of the definitions of Fruit of Life is a perpetual motion machine.
Li Mu put away Freedom Gundam, and he decided to find the true bodies of Adam and Lilith.
Now Adam's body has been reduced to an embryo by SEELE through some means, and Lilith has been penetrated and imprisoned deep underground in the war base built by NERV by Spear of Longinus. Both Adam and Lilith are in a state of being unable to resist.
If you can directly Human Instrumentality, Freedom Gundam can take off on the spot.
However, Li Mu estimates that the possibility is very low. After all, Freedom Gundam is not particularly powerful now. It is not a problem to swallow an apostle born by Adam. If he directly swallows Adam and Lilith, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat anymore and will die.
No matter what the result was, he had to try it first before deciding.
What's more, even if he can't eat Adam and Lilith, getting some of Lilith's genes into Freedom Gundam can still make Freedom Gundam one step closer to perfection. By the way, he can also test the reality of SEELE and NERV. He is very afraid of Dead Sea Scrolls, which records the past and future.
