The power of Shroud weapon is known to all civilizations in the council, and it is not only aimed at Swarm Overmind.
As long as he knows someone's mental frequency, no, it's the mental frequency of a certain existence, Shroud weapon can kill him across time and space.
Under Shroud weapon's sniper attack, the target's spirit will be shattered, Consume, and annihilated, without exception.
Of course, Zurahman, Wendak and others could not imagine that Overmind was too powerful, and his spirit was just blown into pieces, and the fragments were recoverable. This is how Hatchery collected the fragments of consciousness and resurrected Overmind.
The Death Cult naturally wants to study Shroud weapon when it is launched. If Anwendak's plan is implemented, wouldn't it be a pure labor and taking advantage of others?
Zulaman had a "dead look" on his face. If the person opposite him was not the chief ruler of the Zeluo people, he would have wanted to drain this arrogant guy dry with his soul.
Thanks to Zeluo's sensitive mental power, Wendak could clearly feel the strong malice of the corpse in front of him towards him. This is also one of the advanced skills of Psionics.
Because this skill also enables Zeluo people's diplomats to grasp the emotions of their negotiating opponents very well, and thus grasp the rhythm of the negotiation. It is with this superb negotiation skill that Zeluo people can work hard to set up Stellaris Council's frame.
"High Priest, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to exclude the Death Cult. But Shroud weapon is really dangerous. After using it, we will leave a usage information to promote your understanding of the weapon."
"As far as I know, although according to the agreement, we will keep Shroud weapon in the Silicon Alliance for a period of time, the weapons will be placed at the alliance headquarters, not here. We will use diplomatic means to buy a few days for the Order, and you can study it first."
"We will also keep auxiliary personnel, firstly to prevent accidental weapons damage, and secondly to help the religious group with research. Do you think this is acceptable?" In order to prevent the negotiation from collapsing, Wendak immediately gave a solution.
The zombie's brain was indeed not very good. Zulaman thought for two or three minutes before nodding and agreeing with Wendak's opinion.
There is nothing more to say next. Let's start preparing the soul and start Shroud weapon.
Three days later, in a secret location deep in the earth's crust of the Ascension Tower, Zurahman led the Zeluo people's technical team to the location where they activated Shroud weapon.
This is a huge underground cave. There is a deep pit at the end of the cave. It is so dark that it is impossible to see the bottom, like a passage leading to hell.
To be on the safe side, Wendak also followed the team down. After several hours of traveling underground, he began to feel dissatisfied, especially in this eerie underground filled with the aura of death, where he could occasionally see the corpses of certain creatures.
"High Priest, the activation of Shroud weapon does not require complicated rituals. It would be a waste of time for us to come here deep underground. The cult only needs to prepare the souls. Aren't those slaves traded just for the purpose of delivering souls?" said Wendak, who couldn't help it anymore.
"Great ruler, don't be impatient, be patient. The first time you activated Shroud weapon, it consumed one million Zeluo souls. Now the attack area has increased tenfold. The weight of ten million Zeluo souls is very heavy."
Zurahman obviously also understands that souls can be weighed, "If we use the population of the Death Cult, we cannot afford such a huge price. Our population growth depends on transformation, which is very inefficient. The loss of every population will cause pain to the sect."
Wendak's eyes narrowed. He felt that Zulamansan did not want to break the contract, but was showing off and proud, and he stopped talking.
He also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Zurahman's gourd.
"The Zeluo people are the favorites of Shroud, and their control over Psionics is renowned across the galaxy. The Great Consul, you can ask your men to use Psionics to explore the bottom of the pit." Zurahman did not let Wendak wait for long, and directly gave the answer.
A Psionics soldier following Wendak stood up and put his hands on his head. After only ten seconds, he opened his eyes in horror.
His disorganized and illogical words echoed in the communicator. This is not like the qualities that a well-trained Psionics soldier should have. What could be below that could make him lose his composure?
Out of doubt and curiosity, Wendak put his hand on the head of Psionics Army, and a horrifying picture entered his mind.
The bottom of the pit is not empty. It is crawling with creatures, which are gray rodents with long tails. Some civilizations call them rats.
In the darkness, they attacked and gnawed at each other, and the corners of their green eyes seemed to turn into bloodthirsty red.
In the Psionics vision, individuals who can see them clearly can also see their emotions clearly, including hunger, killing, cunning, cowardice, and all kinds of emotions.
The fact that they have so many complex emotions shows that they are intelligent beings that have opened up their spiritual intelligence! It's just that their mental state is a bit weird, and their number seems endless.
They were fighting each other and climbing up the steep rocks at extremely fast speeds. Looking at their sharp teeth, Wendak came back from the shock and touched his protective clothing. He regretted not wearing power armor.
"What's going on with those rats? They are the source of the souls you mentioned?!" Wendak asked Zurahman loudly.
Zurahman was a little surprised that Wendak reacted so quickly. He said with a dull zombie face, "Yes, they are intelligent and have a large number. They are usually the source of the essence of life for us. There is a simple ecological circle under the Ascension Tower, and they live there."
"Don't worry, they can't rush up. The surface of the Ascension Tower is not an environment for them to survive. Once they reach a certain height, they will die. They are extremely greedy for food and can even eat corpses. We use this method to lure them."
After the explanation, Zurahman continued, "So, Grand Consul, your people should take action. Otherwise, when they die to a certain extent, they will realize that this is a trap and escape underground."
After Wendak repeatedly confirmed that Zurahman was serious, he said a curse word and immediately ordered his scientists and the Psionics team to start preparations.
Shroud weapon was taken out of the box, and its true appearance disappointed everyone in the Death Order. It was just a purple sphere.
It is pitch black and has no pattern decoration at all. It is very appropriate to say that it is a purple glass ball.
Such a thing is Shroud weapon? A sense of contempt arose in Zurahman's heart. He watched indifferently as the Zero people made complicated preparations, and the Zero people Psionics injected power into the sphere.
