Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 187 Ten
Feeling the undisguised flames rising from afar, the Nautilus screamed and stopped eating seaweed.

Its shell began to flip and crackle, with parts and debris falling off in large pieces. From the winding gaps, azure lightning lit up and instantly flowed through the entire body - and then, the abundant lightning condensed towards the top of the shell, and a beam of dazzling azure light shot out!

The beam of light extended straight forward, piercing through three buildings in an instant, roaring towards its target.

In front of the rising sea of ​​flames, the beam of light was forcibly suppressed.

The moment the two collided, a violent explosion rose up, and from the center of the collision, a circular shock wave carrying overflow energy spread out - the nearby buildings trembled violently, as if they had been hit hard, and the blue sea water below that submerged the ruins of the city also exploded with a bang, causing layers of waves.

“—too rough.”

Feeling the aftermath of the collision, Song Shi shook his head slightly.

The spiritual energy level contained in this "Nautilus" can be called huge, but the way it is used is too crude. The lightning strike that seemed to be so powerful just now can be said to be just a simple mobilization of spiritual energy, and then barely stuck together and smashed out.

It collapses at the first touch.

Realizing that the attack was ineffective, the Nautilus squirmed its body, and its gastropod suddenly released its grip on the building, causing its huge body to fall downwards. It simply decided not to fight anymore and prepared to escape into the sea.

The next moment, a red beam cut through the sky, flowing for more than ten meters and fell!

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The Nautilus's movements suddenly froze, and a burning mark slowly appeared on its huge shell - no, more than just the "shell".

It was as if a giant had swung a sword that was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. A scratch also appeared on the surface of the six-story building where it was attached. This scratch split most of the building in two and even extended all the way to the body of the Nautilus.

--laugh.

The world is flowing again.

Raging flames gushed out from the scratches, sweeping in all directions in an instant. In just a few breaths, the entire building was completely engulfed in flames, like a torch standing in the sea.

On its side, the Nautilus trembled weakly, and fell into the sticky sea water below in the raging flames that enveloped its entire body.

Then, the building began to fall apart.

In the movement trajectory visible to the naked eye, pieces of plates of different sizes collapsed and fell. Some turned into ashes in mid-air, and some had not yet been completely burned, like meteorites that suddenly entered the atmosphere and crashed into the sea.

Amidst the dull sounds, huge waves rose and fell, and only after a long time did things slowly return to calm.

Song Shi looked down at all this and casually snuffed out the flaming sword that was wrapped around Chong Shi and spread over ten meters - the essence of the flaming sword was an "extension module" temporarily forged through the [Flame of Forging], which was specifically used to target large targets.

It's a technique of using psychic energy.

It's a pity that I have never encountered any large units in this life. Gabey was good at "high-speed maneuvering" and "survival in complex environments" at the beginning. Unlike the high-level transcendence of [Southern Heavy Industry], almost everyone can drive a giant mecha and create extraordinary structures like Kanman, so I have never used this.

Moreover, his spiritual power is indeed a little weak now, and he can't make things like the ship-cutting sword like in his previous life. Since it is not big enough, big enough, there is no point in using it.

"Oh, here it comes." Song Shi suddenly raised his eyebrows.

A ball of light suddenly appeared above the Nautilus's body, which had just fallen into the sea and was barely exposed.

Song Shi leaped a few times among the broken walls and moved closer. Before he could actually touch the ball of light, it flew over.

"Technology Blueprint 'Grasshopper' Pneumatic Short-Range Jet Pack." Lapis Lazuli scanned it and gave his own judgment: "Not very good. This technology direction is no longer novel. There is nothing outstanding about the structure, and the performance parameters are also average."

Although it is not a scientific research-type intelligent machine, it is a second-ring demon after all. After waking up and before taking back its body, in order to understand the current situation of the world, it collected and stored an extremely rich database of information, and has no problem evaluating and judging common types of equipment.

But at this moment, Song Shi did not focus on the technological blueprint.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt the "ball of light" in the center of his palm that came along with the technological blueprint.

——This is the spiritual energy that the former fed back from the bottom rules of the abyss after killing the Nautilus.

“It’s still so turbid.”

Song Shixin thought.

The source of the spiritual energy contained in these "derivatives" is the "redundant spiritual energy" that countless Internet users throughout the ages have been unconsciously attracted to and invested in while surfing the Internet, containing countless impurities such as self-emotions.

They sank into the [Abyss] and were stitched together with a series of strange things such as broken programs, virus memes, and software fragments to form a "derivative body". In their hometown, the Pan-Eastern Continental Union, or before the birth of the Union, the ancient psychics there created a high-speed practice route called "Incense and Fire to Become the Tao".

The so-called "incense" from the worship, prayer and sacrifice of believers is essentially redundant spiritual energy. The spiritualists who are the objects of sacrifice also need to be purified by various methods before they can absorb it for their own use, otherwise it will be harmful - they call it "poisonous incense".

Now this route has not completely disappeared.

Even if we don't count the state religion that the Pampsta Empire has built with all its national strength, just look at the corporate alliance.

Song Shi also knew clearly that the giant enterprise [Dust Contract Generation], whose new religions consisted of virtual idols, bloggers, and artists, used big data analysis, public opinion agitation, user portraits, and emotional and mental guidance and control to cater specifically to believers - or fans, and was also following this path.

With this move, although the quality was a bit low, [Dust Contract Generation] quickly upgraded quite a few low- and medium-level psychics. The main point is that if the quality is not enough, the quantity will make up for it.

"It only contains a portion of Nautilus's spiritual energy, but it's not particularly low."

The forging flame quietly emerged from Song Shi’s palm, wrapping and burning the ball of light.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound like wrought iron.

Under Song Shi's gaze, the ball of light began to shrink little by little, and wisps of ash floated out from time to time - those were the impurities burned out during the calcination of the forging flame.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

As the flame gradually died down, the ball of light was only one-tenth of its original size, but compared to its original turbidity, the luster it now displayed could almost be called "pure".

Song Shi pinched out the ball of light.

Lapis Lazuli looked at Song Shi who raised his head slightly, without saying anything to disturb him.

Until a certain moment.

"call"

Song Shi let out a breath slowly.

He opened his eyes again, and deep in his pupils, a terrifying fire flashed for a moment.

"Not bad. Very good."

The young man smiled and gave a heartfelt compliment: "Just absorbing this is equivalent to my progress in practicing for half a day."

"One day's limit?"

Song Shi said without hesitation: "For this level, ten copies."

".Ten portions?" Lapis Lazuli was shocked. It was a little unbelievable and said: "Song Shi. Are you sure? It is equivalent to the derivative of the second ring. You can actually absorb ten portions?"

To defeat a derivative of this level, a second-ring psychic would normally need a long time to digest just one portion of the psychic energy it feeds back, in order to completely eliminate the impurities and transform it completely into his own strength. If he could absorb two portions a day, he would be considered excellent.

——And the person in front of me, ten parts?

Lapis Lazuli hesitated for a moment and spoke cautiously: "Song Shi, ignoring your own limits and absorbing too much redundant spiritual energy in a short period of time will damage the purity of your own spiritual energy. You are talented enough and young enough, so there is no need."

"Thank you for your teachings."

Song Shi was startled, and then he couldn't help but shook his head: "But don't worry about this, I'm not a guy who doesn't know his limits."

He smiled and said, "I am a very sensible person."

Before Lapis Lazuli could respond, Song Shi pulled out the Heavy Killer that was inserted aside, and the red-gold flame reappeared and flowed wildly.

"——Lapis Lazuli, prepare to find the next derivative."

"I originally planned to spend a year accumulating experience and break through to the third level of 'control'."

Song Shi's voice was filled with undisguised joy.

“Now it looks like it might be done in three months!”
