Chapter 166 Creating the "Torch"
Chapter 166 Creating the "Torch"
The spirits and thoughts gathered by the emotions of those possessed by demons are all of the same type, just like the consciousness formed by the memories (thoughts) connected by a person's emotions. It's also like the deity of faith gathered by a specific belief.
Mecha Tian Zhen observed for a while and found it quite interesting. All these changes started from the distortion of the faith in the Lord of Mankind. First they believed in the Lord of Mankind, then gradually became distorted, questioned, and finally became heretics.
If this god of faith is the Lord of mankind, and is a powerful human being who was deified, then this description of the change level is similar to the growth of inner demons in the cultivation world, or the elimination of the three corpses that must be experienced before entering the holy realm.
Those strands of power that gathered into souls and condensed into thoughts were like silk threads hidden in the darkness, quietly influencing the development of the entire situation.
This cannot go on any longer. Although he has no feelings for the people here, as we are all intelligent creatures, Tian Zhen decides to help them.
Of course, he is not targeting those fanatics. Fanatics have had their backbones pulled out and replaced with something else. They are hopeless until their worldview is destroyed. Those pan-believers or atheists are his targets.
They have their own opinions on lifestyle, and faith is just their way of survival to fit in with the group. There are not many such people, but there are quite a few either. After all, such people can find the path that suits them in life. They have their own distinction between what is good and what is bad, and they have a clear eye for good and bad.
The way to distinguish them is also very simple. It is nothing more than to see whether their thoughts are messy or not. Those who have messy thoughts meet the screening criteria.
So, Mecha Tian Zhen began to create a creature called Torch.
It is something similar to a metal plant created based on the changes in this world. It refers to the closed loop formed by the concept of spatial changes caused by emotional attraction, like the principle of the birth of the mechanical soul.
Then refer to the regularity and unity of the emotions gathered by these crazy people, and then continue to circulate according to the number of people, and the more they gather, the more contagious they become.
After all, Dad said that magic should be used to defeat magic. Don’t you have a strong ability to pollute? Then Tian Zhen will create a more polluting concentration of thoughts.
Tian Zhen had already learned how to add or replace the balance changes of metals with changes of plants. Even if he used the balance cognition on the mecha, he could figure it out in minutes after thinking about it for a while.
Mecha Tian Zhen began to trigger changes in emotions and began to use thoughts to forge a closed loop of the subject's thinking, and this change in the subject was calmness.
This calmness refers to the calm changes of qi between the body or matter. When you are still, you will think about movement. Thinking in this calm state will make your thinking more flexible and changeable, which means it can make people smarter.
Other additional emotional changes are the flexibility of decorative thinking ability.
So, one day, a vine-like, gray-black plant began to rise from the lowest level of the clustered city. The various twisted creatures approaching it collapsed to the ground, as if they had lost their signal. The souls within it, in contrast to their tranquility, completely collapsed due to the changes in their spirits, creating a realm of absolute power. Some madmen, unwilling to believe in the evil, bravely pushed forward, but they all collapsed on the pile of corpses that had formed a small hill.
The plants grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, breaking through the ceiling of the cluster city layer by layer, becoming longer and thicker. The death radius for the living dead and the crazy people was constantly expanding.
With the continuous shaking of the cluster city and the collapse of some high-rise buildings, the riots in the lower levels subsided in less than a day, and the living dead and the madmen fell to the ground and were motionless.
All the living people looked at the huge, thick, gray-black strange plant that grew out from the bottom and broke through the ground. They did not feel any fear, but were unusually calm. In this calmness, their minds became very flexible, and they could instantly figure out problems that they usually couldn't figure out.
Some have begun researching and speculating about this unknown plant. While collecting samples, some Mechanicus priests of the Mechanicus were surprised to discover that the plant contained a large amount of metal. Where did it get so much metal? How did it grow so fast? What was its power source?
As the Mechanicus began their research, some members of the Church, unaffected by the calm, began to speculate. They firmly believed that all that was happening before their eyes must have been a magnificent creation created by the great Lord of Humanity. Because only this supreme being had the power to purify the evil heresy that originated from the Chaos Demons and thus protect the people of the Empire.
So, these fanatics, as if inspired by some divine calling, took action and began a massive missionary campaign.
On the other hand, those who were deeply affected by the peaceful changes. After experiencing that strange tranquility, their hearts became exceptionally clear, and they clearly realized that the various changes that had occurred in them did not come from the illusory so-called Lord of Humanity, but from that strange plant full of mystery.
This sense of peace was like an invisible barrier, shielding them from blind worship of anything. They would neither bow down to this strange plant nor easily worship any other person. Even toward the Lord of Humanity, they maintained an indifferent attitude. To them, the tree was like a peaceful torch lit by human hands, quietly emitting a soft light. This peace was something they naturally possessed, requiring no deliberate pursuit or attachment.
After another night, this thick gray-black vine had already pushed down the superstructure of the cluster city, and its growth rate remained unchanged, but was getting faster and faster.
The people of the Mechanicus also discovered the secret of this plant. They used a high-power laser to cut a small piece of tissue from the plant and found a huge amount of electrical pulses. These energies can keep this metallic plant very active.
The field it naturally emits can even affect the machine souls in some complex machines, which makes some followers of the Mechanicus very convinced that this is the creation of the God of Machinery. Of course, there are also quite a few people who remain skeptical.
No matter how they guessed, the growth rate of the gray-black vines forced them to evacuate the cluster city and retreat to the surrounding areas of the city. Two days later, most of the upper structures of the cluster city had collapsed, and only the lower buildings were still standing.
The cluster city is nearly hundreds of kilometers high, that is, 100 kilometers high. It can be imagined that the vines are already very high. Without the support of the buildings, the vines at high places begin to tilt to one side and begin to grow downwards.
After the influence of these few days, the thoughts gathered from the movement of thoughts in peace made them realize that their physical fitness had improved greatly, and they could even bend a steel bar with their bare hands.
Not only humans, but other plants without thoughts also gradually began to turn metal, just like the gray-black vine. This was just a natural infection.
