End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 238: Zerg internal response, energy, the real purpose

Hearing Zhang Tianming's voice, Lin Feng hesitated for half a second, then turned into a residual image and disappeared on the spot.

Wearing golden armor, he broke through the gate of the villa and followed the direction given by the other party in the headset. He soon arrived at the location of the first Zerg mother.

Three seconds later, eight hundred meters away, when Lin Feng arrived at his destination, what appeared before his eyes was a high-rise building in a residential area.

"The roof of Building 3, as soon as possible!"

Hearing the intelligence reminder from Zhang Tianming again, Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He took a running start and jumped onto the roof of a building nearly 100 meters high.

Then I saw a group of humans standing on the rooftop with dazed expressions, surrounding the woman who was sitting cross-legged in the middle.

At such a close distance, Lin Feng could already instinctively feel the spiritual energy overflowing from the woman, which far exceeded that of an ordinary second-level awakener.

Although not as powerful as Zhang Tianming's, it has also exceeded one thousand, which is almost the same as Jiang Yuner's.

This also means that it can also use the power of artistic conception, such as the other offspring parasites it is currently controlling, to provide cover for itself.

Among this crowd of dozens or hundreds of people, there are many first-order awakeners who are responsible for protecting their mother.

The mother body that was absorbing the life energy of her offspring had obviously noticed Lin Feng's arrival. She had stood up and mixed into the crowd, hoping to take advantage of the situation and escape.

But how could the prey that Lin Feng had locked onto have any chance of escaping?

As he landed among the crowd, he crushed many offspring parasites to death. Then, using the force of the crowd, he stomped hard, transformed into a supersonic shell, and rushed straight towards the fleeing Zerg mother.

During the process, it killed dozens of offspring parasites that blocked its way. When it arrived in front of the target, it pressed its head to the ground, then stepped on the waist and abdomen of the Zerg mother to death, and reached out to pinch her neck. With just a slight force, it pulled the mother's head and the entire spine below out of the parasitic human body.

Suddenly the flesh was torn apart and the tendons and veins were severed!

The Zerg mother, which has lost its physical support, still maintains considerable vitality as a parasitic Zerg.

Inside the half of the head without the mandible, hundreds of arthropod tentacles were scratching and struggling frantically, trying to break free from the hands that were cracking the skull.

The tail at the bottom of the mother's body has been assimilated with the spine. On the nervous system, there are still palm-sized insect eggs hatched in the abdomen, like a bunch of green grapes.

Lin Feng shook off the parasite eggs, but did not kill the living mother worm in his hand directly.

Although this thing has lost its effect on him who is now at level 31, it is still a rare spiritual second-level Zerg. As the incarnation of the Queen Mother, he can gain a spiritual attribute bonus of to points after killing it.

Use it for the second-level combat members under your command to make up for the shortcomings in their spiritual attributes. It may also help the genetic warriors to start the artistic conception trial in advance.

Especially this time the decapitation operation on the Queen of Xiayunling exposed the weakness of the mental attributes of his subordinates. When facing the mental attack methods of high-level Zerg, their combat effectiveness would be suppressed, which had an adverse impact on the combat operations.

The Zerg mother body can greatly improve this problem.

By then, with a few more peak-level second-level genetic warriors, the subsequent beheading of the Queen Mother would be safer.

After dealing with the first late-stage second-stage mother, Lin Feng found a striped cloth bag abandoned on the roadside, threw away the luggage inside, and then threw the dying Zerg mother in his hand into it.

After packing, we headed to the location of the second mother as Zhang Tianming said.

In the capital city where there were no third-order life forms, Lin Feng was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, running rampant without restraint.

Soon he collected the second and third Zerg mothers, packed them up and threw them into a cloth bag. Under the power of the armor's king insect, they were unable to struggle.

Each battle actually lasts no more than ten seconds.

Even if these mother bodies are hidden in high-rise buildings or secret bunkers, they cannot escape Lin Feng's iron fist.

On the contrary, the part that takes up the most time in the entire operation is the uninterrupted process of traveling.

Within ten minutes, Lin Feng captured and killed eighteen second-order Zerg mothers, and eight of those minutes were spent on the journey.

And inside the bulging cloth bag, the spiritual attributes of all the Zerg mother bodies have exceeded the limit of thousands, able to stimulate and release the power of artistic conception.

Each one of them is no less threatening than Kang Yoona.

They work together, and by coordinating with the high-level Queen Mother activation ceremony in the capital city, they can successfully sacrifice the millions of survivors in the city.

After dealing with them, Lin Feng returned to the villa where he started out and checked his phone. In fifteen minutes, the battle at Yunxialing in the southwest would break out completely.

It's still not too late to rush over now.

He could have simply left and returned to the front with a sack of valuable gains.

But the doubts in my heart drove me back here.

Entering the hall, I saw Zhang Tianming floating in the air, and the spiritual energy lingering around him gradually dissipated.

And his distorted and blurry figure gradually returned to reality from the void as the power of the realm faded.

Lin Feng looked at the identification attributes that appeared in front of him, about the other party's awakened artistic conception power, and the void observation...

In the final introduction, the four words mentioned, "psychic ascension", are particularly prominent with emphasis on them.

Lin Feng couldn't help but think about what these four words meant...

Ascension represents transcendence.

The spiritual energy of the body is a way to transcend the constraints of reality.

It's just that this shortcut seems to be a one-time thing.

Because complete energy conversion means that it is impossible to return to the real world again, and it can only be integrated into the energy void under the visible universe and transformed into massless particles and waves.

Just as the name of this artistic conception power, Void Observation, after ascending, one can only be a bystander and quietly observe everything in the real universe.

It cannot be touched, let alone interfered with.

At this moment, Zhang Tianming returned from the void, and his whole body appeared translucent. It was not until dozens of seconds later that this energy void phenomenon gradually disappeared and returned to normal.

But at this moment, he looked much duller, and his normal yellow skin had turned pale and transparent.

His skin had become thinner, and one could even see the blue and red blood vessels beneath the skin.

Obviously, the power of artistic conception will leave serious sequelae, which is also one of the prices of energyization. It will gradually fade from the real world until it disappears completely.

In addition to Zhang Tianming's changes, the Buddha behind him who supplied him with spiritual energy also became half a meter shorter and three times thinner after a burst of consumption. The two-meter-and-five-meter-tall giant became three times thinner.

From a fat pumpkin with a diameter of 1.5 meters, he changed into a normal tall person, and his bone structure gradually became apparent.

The price he paid for doing so was no lower than the activation of Zhang Tianming's artistic conception this time.

Unlike Zhang Tianming who remained calm when he saw Lin Feng coming back, the fake monk was gasping for breath, and his face was as pale as a corpse that had been dead for many days, without any blood at all.

In Lin Feng's assessment, the fake monk's health attribute was directly reduced by twenty points compared to what he had seen before under the high wall of the defense line.

Such rapid absorption and infusion would also cause a serious overdraft of vitality. After a few times, he would age rapidly like the blind fortune teller and would be on the verge of death.

Compared to these, Lin Feng was more concerned about the changes in Zhang Tianming's attributes after his recovery:
"Zhang Tianming, lv29/29"

"HP 990, Vt 990, SPR 2.1k"

"Super Power Awakening - Prophet"

"Prophet: Consume a large amount of spiritual energy to randomly learn about important events that may happen in the future. The closer the relationship with oneself, the more accurate the predicted content will be."

"Note: This ability has a certain degree of randomness. It can be used actively or passively under the influence of the environment."

"Awakening state - Void observation" "Void observation: Form a high-energy-density protective bubble on the body surface, which temporarily transforms the brain and the entire body into spiritual energy, a state between the real material world and energy time and space, like escaping into the void, and can quickly obtain a large amount of energy information flow nearby, knowing everything in the past and the present"

"Note: The derived abilities of this state include foresight, precognition, and omniscience."

"Note: This artistic conception covers a radius of about 20 kilometers, and the time progress within the coverage area can be seen at a glance."

"Note: The target exits the state of using artistic conception, loses external spiritual attribute bonus, spiritual attribute value -1500 points, and cannot activate void observation again for a short period of time."

"This time, the target falls into the void, and gains +100 points of spiritual attribute limit, and the instability of the body increases."

After reading the last part of the introduction, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Apparently, he did not expect that using the power of artistic conception could directly increase the upper limit of mental attributes. You must know that the latter is much more difficult to improve than health and physical attributes. Except for absorbing other lives when advancing to a higher level, there are few other shortcuts.

It's not like physical fitness can be directly improved through genetic modification technology or organic nutrient solution.

Spiritual attributes involve the brain and are the further evolution of the brain's ability to communicate with reality.

It is extremely difficult to improve. One can only rely on the simultaneous expansion of the brain when the physique is upgraded and strengthened to increase the upper limit of its capacity to accommodate spiritual energy.

If every time he activated the Void Observation, he could increase his spiritual attribute by 100 points, then 10 times would be 1,000 points. After 100 times, wouldn't Zhang Tianming's spiritual attribute value directly break through the upper limit of the third stage, 10,000, and reach the level of a fourth-order cosmic life! ?

Although the Void Observation State of Mind has no substantial attack capabilities, its auxiliary effect is the most amazing.

But when the data that appeared in front of him dissipated, when Lin Feng saw Zhang Tianming's weak appearance, the feeling of envy in his heart quickly faded away.

The improvement of spiritual attribute value is obviously one of the costs of artistic conception. The energy of the body and spirit also means that the self is more in harmony with the surrounding energy from another level.

Over time, the material components of cells inside the brain will gradually decrease, while the spiritual energy that fills it will continue to increase.

Perhaps in the near future, Zhang Tianming's brain will become crystallized like the Queen Mother's golden-quality brain, containing pure spiritual energy.

However, the more he merges with the energy of the void, the less connected he becomes to reality.

Although during this period he was able to know the past and the future through the power of artistic conception, and learn everything in the world...

But the price to be paid is equally high.

Lin Feng was not interested in these things. He didn't want to work hard only to end up with nothing.

But for some people who value faith more than life, and some people who have a strong desire for knowledge and exploration, perhaps knowing everything they want to know is more important than living in numbness and pain...

If Zhang Tianming really believed what he said, then the awakening of this artistic conception ability would be very consistent with the meaning of life he pursued.

At this moment, as the mother body in the city was completely cleared and the villa returned to normal, Lin Feng took off his headphones and threw them in front of Zhang Tianming.

The latter did not reach out to take it, but just asked:
"You are still stranded here. Mr. Lin, aren't you in a hurry to rush to Yunxialing in the southwest to rescue your soldiers?"

Lin Feng stared at the Taoist priest in front of him. It seemed that after merging into the void, this guy's understanding and control of the situation had risen to a new level. He could almost have a full view of the map and obtain all the information.

Think about this terrifying ability, which is actually not much weaker than the actual combat power. No wonder it can quickly recruit a large number of awakened believers.

"The crisis is only temporarily resolved, but the Zerg army still exists. In view of your help in saving these millions of survivors this time, I came to remind you that if the northwest exit is not enough, you can go south."

"I will deal with the Queen Mother and the Zerg in the southwest as soon as possible. Although it is not as safe as the main force, the 150,000 soldiers led by General Qin can protect most of the survivors and break out safely."

After saying this, Lin Feng asked meaningfully:

"If you continue to use it like this, aren't you worried that you will ascend to heaven before you become the man of destiny?"

Once the spiritual attribute value exceeds the upper limit of the body's carrying capacity, it is estimated that it will reach the energy threshold mentioned in the appraisal. At that time, Zhang Tianming's whole body will irreversibly collapse, and all spiritual energy will be transformed into energy and disappear in the real world.

In a sense, it's no different from being dead.

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Zhang Tianming remained calm and continued with a smile:
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your reminder."

"But it doesn't matter who becomes the Destiny. As long as the Destiny can be born and stands on the side of mankind, even if it requires sacrificing a few Sons of Prophecy, it doesn't matter."

“The destiny does not lie with me, but with all mankind.”

"That's why I want to save these millions of survivors, because they themselves are destiny."

After hearing this, Lin Feng fell silent.

He was probably the only one present who could best understand Zhang Tianming's words.

These millions of survivors are generally enhanced people and awakened people. After awakening, they will all have super powers, and the superpower cells in their bodies are the basis for the birth of the fourth level.

Therefore, saving them means preserving the hope of mankind to give birth to fourth-level cosmic life.

This is the racial essence that the entire Federation has expended a large amount of materials and potential to condense and build up. Once it is consumed in the Zerg sacrificial ceremony, the process of the birth of fourth-order life in the entire human race will be delayed for a long time...

This is the deepest strategic consideration.

This was indeed something Lin Feng had not anticipated before.

But Zhang Tianming, who had merged into the void and seen all the causes and consequences, obviously knew the far-reaching impact that would result after the sacrifice was completed.

That's why he resolutely chose to stay and work hard to dismantle the Zerg's conspiracy for the future of mankind.

"I will ensure that these people break out safely."

"As for organizing manpower and arranging for the orderly evacuation of survivors..."

Lin Feng spoke slowly, his tone slightly deep:

"I'll leave it to the church members under you."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Zhang Tianming, then turned and left, carrying a cloth bag of Zerg mother bodies, and disappeared into the villa.

After a while, when Zhang Tianming was sure that Lin Feng had gone far away, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.

The inky black blood fell on the ceramic floor, which had some kind of corrosive property, leaving pits and holes in the floor tiles.

Then he disappeared mysteriously.

After more than ten seconds, there was no trace left except the potholes on the surface of the tiles.

Seeing this, the fake monk stepped forward quickly, but was interrupted by Zhang Tianming:

"It's okay, it's just contaminated by some negative energy, just get rid of it."

The fake monk sighed and continued to ask:

"The leader of the Insect God Cult was taken away by him..."

"And she is also one of the children of prophecy in the future. Following Lin Feng, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Tianming frowned slightly:
"That's just one possibility."

"Although there is a high chance that Lin Feng will betray us, only under his protection can humans have the only chance of survival in this catastrophe."

"What we need to do is to make this possible in real time and space as much as possible."

"Humans from other timelines..."

"They are just struggling to survive..."
