Mensis Frenzied Brain

"Ahhh!"

The moment they were stared at by Mensis Brain, everyone—whether they were the parasites, the parasites inside them, or the monsters of Sen that were caught up in the chaos—all of them went into a frenzy!

Just from the name, you can tell that this "madness" will affect mental state and such. Looking directly at Great One will certainly have a significant impact on the mental state of ordinary beings.

However, the madness was more manifested in the physical sense.

"Ughhhhhh—"

The parasite inside one of the infected individuals went into a state of complete frenzy, causing the infected person to scream in agony. Whether large or small, their blood was boiling, and their entire body was in excruciating pain.

The next moment, the boiling blood was no longer restricted by the body and burst through the skin, gushing out!

"Pfft!"

A sinister spear with its sharp blade pointing outwards suddenly burst forth from the body of the parasitized creature. Against its backdrop, the gushing, Xyz blood became merely a bizarre background. Such massive bleeding would leave any living being on the verge of death.

Along with them appeared countless tiny spears, no longer than a fingernail, which emerged from the bodies of numerous parasites!

The moment the spear pierced through the body, the screams of agony from the creatures present escalated to a whole new level, enough to drive even a deaf person mad.

However, after two seconds, the wailing stopped, not because they all had an extraordinary capacity to endure pain.

He simply died, killed by the second spear piercing him.

Any living organism would experience this after two instances of Xyz bleeding without treatment, let alone parasites that rely on blood for survival.

If one word could describe the feelings of the evil god's avatar at this moment, it would be this:

WTF!?

It looked around and realized that the spears were actually formed from the blood of the dead.

The bizarre way of dying—being pierced by one's own blood—evokes images of many shady and evil methods. Some vampires have a perverse hobby of using blood to create various weapons to torture others. However, compared to Mensis Brain, even vampires seem quite handsome.

The giant body it controlled was also affected by Mensis Brain. However, it only experienced a boiling of blood and did not fall into madness like others. Therefore, no matter how much the blood boiled, it would not transform into a strange spear that burst out of the body. However, one could feel the life force of this body constantly being lost.

Of course, this body cannot be allowed to die. It only needs to draw some more power from outside the heavens to replenish its life force at the same rate.

But it doesn't have time to do that now, because there are more important things waiting for it.

[What's this?]

It stared intently at the suspended Mensis Brain, its eyes brimming with doubt that was almost overflowing.

A large mass of flesh covered with eyes of all sizes and exuding a strong sense of mental pollution, resembling a brain, was of little concern to it, given its accustomed experience with strange and unusual things.

However, what surprised, puzzled, and even shocked it was that this lump of brain felt quite different!

The aura emanating from it is like, just like...

Those higher-ranking figures who are no longer active!?

To put it simply, it means "God".

God is God. The distinction between good and evil is given by the intelligent life on earth. They themselves have no distinction between good and evil gods. However, the strength of their power is ultimately different from what the public imagines. In the impression of the consciousness clone, the weakest god is so weak that it is pitiful to look at.

However, even the weakest god is still a superior being, whose life form is different from that of mortals. They are definitely not people who can kill them!

But what did it see in the Zane Dungeon?

A brain tainted with the aura of Great One? No, the aura of Great One on this brain is so strong that the word "tainted" is not enough to describe it. It is permeated with the scent of Great One from the inside out, as if it were flesh and blood grown from the body of a god. If we think about it a little further, it might even be that it was dug out from the body of a god.

That makes it even more terrifying!

The mutant's body shuddered violently, its heavy flesh swaying up and down with the tremor, and even chunks of flesh that were not firmly attached to the body fell off with a clatter, which perfectly reflected the mood of the person controlling this body.

How could a dungeon possibly summon such a being, even just a part of it?

How could such a thing exist in a dungeon?

Thinking about it more deeply, besides the Guaranteed Pull of monsters inherited from the previous lord, if the dungeon wants to summon more monsters, the lord needs to learn about other monsters, gain a deep understanding of them, and only after knowing them inside and out can they be turned into Available Monster.

So, how exactly did the Zane Dungeon manage to turn Mensis Brain into Available Monster?

Wow. This is truly terrifying when you think about it.

The current Dungeon Lord has sent a being of the same rank as the Hidden Dim Star to the dissection table.

This was the first time since its creation that the consciousness clone had experienced what it meant to face the unknown.

Having always been by the side of the evil god's true form, it seemed to know everything, just like the true god himself, and no mortal's actions could surprise it.

What I'm experiencing in the Zane Dungeon now is not surprise but horror!

This... this has exceeded my expectations.

In the end, it was just a consciousness separated from the evil god, not the evil god itself but a follower. When faced with the Zane Dungeon, which could summon flesh and blood of beings similar in rank to the evil god's main body, that is, Sion, the creator who had the ability to dissect it, it felt panic and helplessness.

The main story only mentioned focusing on the Zane Dungeon, but it didn't say that such exciting content was hidden inside.

Its mind was somewhat agitated, and the influence of Mensis Brain on it suddenly intensified, making it somewhat dazed.

Gong Qiying carefully observed the area, having already made preparations to seal off the underground city. So far, the reaction of his consciousness clone was not much different from what he had guessed, and it was even more entertaining than he had expected.

It was a pity that we couldn't keep the evil god that was attached to Iliphis last time. Can we make up for that this time?

The mutant's body trembled more and more, looking like a prelude to madness. This was a good omen for Gong Qiying; it would be best if he could capture the opponent directly using the Mensis Brain.

However, at that moment, the mutant suddenly froze, as if it had turned into a stone statue.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the initial panic, the evil god's consciousness clone suddenly calmed down as if its personality had been refreshed, which was also a kind of special ability of its own.

But what does it mean by "good opportunity"?

Gong Qiying blinked.

The next moment, the world seemed to turn black and white for a moment, and the purple starlight was the first to explode from the black and white world, dyeing everything with its own color!

The [City Lord Panel] in front of him suddenly flickered like gibberish, as if there had been a sudden computer malfunction.

"This guy has a way to attack dungeons?"

At this very moment, the consciousness clone is unleashing all the power at its disposal to launch a viral contamination of the Zane Dungeon.

It is usually difficult to define the extent to which God's power can be achieved directly, but as long as enough resources are invested, God's power is sufficient to accomplish anything.

However, gods also have aspects they excel at compared to other powers. For example, the Holy Light God is skilled in Holy Light and healing, while the Hidden Dim Star excels in erosion and transformation.

Both the Beast Transformation Disease and the current Hidden Blood Parasite were created after it was modified. As for Corruption, it is easier to understand. It can corrupt and control both the mind and body of a living being. This power can certainly have an effect on dungeons as well.

Why wasn't the Hidden Dim Star used when facing the Zane Dungeon at the beginning?

There are a series of reasons, such as unsuitable timing, lack of surplus power to waste, the disadvantages of eroding dungeons outweighing the advantages, the ineffectiveness of erosion if the dungeon is left behind, and the ability of the dungeon to actively remove it before it takes effect.

Now, the evil god's consciousness clone has used the power of corruption after realizing that the danger of Sion far exceeded expectations. It did this with the idea of weakening Sion as much as possible and causing him some trouble.

It never expected that it could accomplish something that even its own main body would find difficult to do, given that it could only use its meager power.

Anyway, once I've used up all my power, my main body will sense something's wrong and wake up, pulling me back from the dungeon.

I will definitely receive praise and reward from the main body, and perhaps I will be able to obtain more power that I can use. This is a beneficial and harmless thing for me, so I will just do my best!

This was the first time Gong Qiying had encountered someone who could directly attack the dungeon system. While feeling a sense of novelty, he also felt as if he had been outmaneuvered.

The Zane Dungeon naturally reacted to the attack from the consciousness clone, its stored Spirit Power suddenly evaporated by several hundred, and the City Lord Panel immediately returned to normal.

So that's how it is. As long as you have Spirit Power, you can repair the damage caused by attacks from the other side.

Looking at his enormous balance, Gong Qiying felt somewhat relieved, but he wouldn't choose to stubbornly resist. With a wave of his hand, the size of the Mensis Brain suddenly expanded several times, and the light it emitted became even more dazzling. This was how it should have been before; it had been somewhat reduced in size for cost considerations.

"Puff puff puff—"

Even without falling into a frenzy, blood spears kept bursting from the mutant's body, and its vitality suddenly reached an extremely dangerous level.

The consciousness clone was not to be outdone, unleashing all its power at once, causing the Spirit Power stored in the dungeon to plummet! This was a fierce battle!

Why didn't Gong Qiying kick this guy out? Because he had finally come into contact with someone who was closely connected to the evil god, and he didn't feel any real threat yet, so of course he had to try to fight to the end!

This confrontation within the underground city also had an impact on people outside.

Why is it getting darker and darker?

Fan En looked up at the sky. It was only evening, so why was it getting dark so quickly?

"Brother, we should go back now. The parasites will become uncontrollable tonight."

"Wait a minute, don't you think something's not right?"

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky. The dark clouds gradually dispersed at that moment, but the familiar moonlight did not fall on the earth. Instead, there was a rare and dazzling starlight, with a bewitching and mysterious purple echoing in the depths of the starlight.

Looking at the purple light, Fan En suddenly felt a deep unease, and even his arm trembled involuntarily. He seemed to have seen such a purple light somewhere before.

"Brother, I've seen that purple light before!" Yi Sha looked at the sky, her face showing extreme tension, and said with a very uneasy expression:

"On the night the parasite outbreak occurred, I also saw the exact same purple light in the sky!"

Fan En suddenly clapped his hands. That's right, he finally remembered. On the night the parasite disaster broke out, people saw a sky full of mysterious purple starlight. The scale of the purple light that day was much larger than it is now. But even if the purple light is smaller today, it still brings great unease to people.

This unease came true in the next second. The strange phenomenon in the sky caused the parasites on the ground, who were chasing each other towards the underground city portal, to gradually stop. One by one, they raised their heads and stared at the sky, swaying.

The parasitized body suddenly swelled, its fragile skin was completely torn apart by the expanding muscles, dark red flesh burst out, and it twisted and mutated on a large scale. Several bodies even began to merge after colliding with each other, and all sorts of unsettling sounds echoed throughout the entire Savis City.

Just a few seconds later, the parasitized person, who had barely managed to maintain a human form, had transformed into a deformed monster that would appear in a movie directed by Cronenberg!

The vast majority of them were still drawn to the underground city, but a small number set their sights on Fan En and his group, who were still in shock from the upheaval.

Fan En's mind was screaming warnings of danger. He immediately pulled up the people around him, his expression changing as he shouted:

"Run!"

"Aaaaaah!"

Deformed monsters surged in like a flood!

Gong Qiying has not yet seen what is happening in the outside world. He is trying to break down the mental defenses of the evil god's consciousness clone through various means.

The three-piece set of the Crimson Scarlet Corruption from the Frenzied Flame has already been used, and it was the doubled version with extra power. Mensis Brain has also been inflicting madness.

But looking at the other side, the mutated creature's body had been ravaged beyond recognition by these monstrous things, yet it was still being kept alive by its consciousness clone, which continued to erode the dungeon.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

What's wrong with this guy?

Gong Qiying and his consciousness clone both raised questions at the same time.

"Although it seems like this guy has a close relationship with the evil god, he's completely unaffected by Mensis Brain or even the Frenzied Flame? That's a bit overpowered."

[Luckily, I'm just a clone of the main body. Any negative influences on me are automatically transferred to the main body. This bizarre brain, the yellow fire, the black mud, and that scarlet, indescribable stuff—it's obviously something wrong. Sorry, main body!]

[But why hasn't my corruption had any effect on this dungeon yet? I could have corrupted hundreds of mortals in that time! Damn it, this makes me look so humiliated!]

"Fortunately, I have enough Spirit Power reserves. Chi Ya is right. You can never have too much Spirit Power. There's always a time when you can use the extra mental energy you earn."

The consciousness clone relies on an invisible thread to transmit all the influences it receives back to its main body, thus protecting itself from harm.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a time.

Meanwhile, above the stars.

A large, irregularly shaped purple nebula is the true form of the Hidden Dim Star, which is currently dormant.

Suddenly, it trembled, as if its body had been pricked by a tiny bit of pain. Several fragments of rock floating in space bumped into each other, as if it were being tickled.

Nebula rolled over and continued her sweet slumber.

A few seconds later, a fleeting, Frenzied Flame suddenly ignited within its body. The evil flames that appeared and disappeared in an instant caused it to tremble even more violently.

It sat up slightly, looked around sleepily, and then fell back into a deep sleep.

That wasn't all. A beautiful flower, constructed of Scarlet Corruption, flashed through its body, and it trembled twice, already growing impatient.

The black abyss reappeared for a moment, swallowing some purple light along with it, which was no less than an ant biting a person.

Even so, the wonderful sleep still pulled it back to sleep, until it dreamed of a Mensis Brain full of eyes.

Immediately afterwards, all the strange things that had appeared before began to appear on it in turn!

The Evil God in His Sleep: HP-1-1-1-1

This is even more annoying than having flies or mosquitoes buzzing around your ears while you're sleeping!

A burst of starlight flashed, and it awoke for a moment!

Some of its irregularly shaped retinues instantly lost their lives in its rage. Even gods have a bad temper when they wake up, let alone the heavyweights that its consciousness clones sent back. This suddenly disrupted the plans it had been making in its sleep and also depleted the precious power it had spent so much time accumulating!

Looking down, its gaze pierced through the darkness of the universe and landed on the world where humans were active. It immediately understood everything and then did something unexpected:

It grabbed the invisible thread connecting it to its conscious clone.

A sudden yank!

[It's useless, it's useless, I'm invincible now]

Once again engulfed in Frenzied Flame, the consciousness clone that transmitted the damage was gloating.

It's so hot!

The next second it suddenly screamed, not only feeling the high temperature, but also experiencing a deeper impact.

What's going on? Why am I feeling this?

It looked up blankly.

The transparent thread that gave it a sense of security broke.

What are you doing, you real body?!
