Chapter 70 New Servant "Grantham"
After coming to his own conscious world, Chen She's first reaction was that the whole world seemed to have opened up a lot.
Compared with the area of the original conscious world, it seems to have expanded 10 times.
First, the expansion of the world's area means that Chen She's own energy fluctuation level has increased, and the psychic power representing his personal spiritual strength has also increased significantly.
But there are problems.
The black tide surrounding the central land is becoming more active than ever.
Previously, Chen She had almost completely drained Epsilon's synaesthesia power, briefly upgrading his ability to a curse scholar of level 6 energy fluctuations. Although the power did not last long, it consumed a lot of energy.
But at that time, the synaesthesia power that had been drained was already recovering at an accelerated pace.
In Chen She's spiritual world, the central land represents Chen She's psychic power, while the surrounding black tide represents Epsilon's synaesthesia. The boundary of the black tide is always much larger than the boundary of the central land, which means that the naturally generated synaesthesia power must be higher than the psychic power.
Chen She, on the other hand, had to try his best to maintain this balance, whether it was to expand the boundaries of psychic power or to limit the growth of empathy power.
Although in extreme cases, Chen She can directly draw these synaesthesia powers to improve his own strength and consume them directly. But every time he uses it, the growth rate of synaesthesia power will become faster, and one day Chen She will be completely unable to control it.
The sudden upgrade this time was because Chen She absorbed a large amount of space-time particles in a short period of time in order to leverage these forces.
Coupled with the previous upgrade of the embers, and Chen She's continuous carving and making of Mewtwo, he has accumulated enough upgrade opportunities as a creator. What is missing is the rapid improvement of synaesthesia power and the catalytic effect of space-time particles.
So after making up for these two shortcomings, Chen She reached the third level of energy fluctuation in a short period of time.
Now Chen She completely understood what Epsilon said.
According to Epsilon's method, as long as Chen She could absorb space-time particles crazily at all costs, it would not be too difficult for him to grow to level 6 or even level 7 energy fluctuations in a short period of time. However, the only problem was that the faster he upgraded, the more miserable his death would be.
At this time, Epsilon was looking at Chen She with a smug look on his face.
Almost everything he wanted to say was written on his face.
So what? You've been trying everything you can to resist this fate , but in the end, didn't it still develop according to the script I expected?
Who will win between the two of us? It goes without saying.
Looking at Epsilon's smug expression, Chen She's heart did not fluctuate too much. For Chen She, he cared more about the resistance fighters who had just died in the battle.
Chen She materialized a tea table and chairs, and then sat down. Unlike before, this time he left a place for Epsilon.
Chen She raised his hand and motioned for Epsilon to sit down in front of him.
A conflicted expression flashed across Epsilon's face. He originally wanted to resist and maintain his posture as a winner, but after smelling the aroma of tea again, he finally couldn't hold on and sat down in front of Chen She very arrogantly.
After taking a sip of tea, Epsilon's face showed an intoxicated expression.
So delicious!
Chen She couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The people in this world were really pitiful. Even a big shot like Epsilon, the most wanted criminal in the old land, had only such little potential.
If I bring up the seafood feast, what kind of expression will Epsilon have?
Speaking of seafood dinner, Chen She thought of the Mewtwo "Another Possibility" again. In the past two days, all his energy has been focused on this military operation, and of course he has no spare energy to pay attention to the situation of this Mewtwo.
Let’s wait and see tomorrow.
The two people drank tea in silence, obviously thinking about their own problems.
Chen She said: "Today I used your power to kill a priest of the Knights of Time and Space, as well as several knights."
He thought she would be angry, but unexpectedly, Epsilon just smiled indifferently.
"Everything is destined by the connection between time and space. They are not dead, they just went to the world of time and space. For them, sacrificing their lives for a noble mission is a very happy thing."
Chen She shook his head slightly and sighed silently.
There's no hope. There's really no hope.
But it makes sense when you think about it. Epsilon is the chief priest of the Space-Time Knights. The entire Space-Time Knights do not take human life seriously. Whether it is their own life or the lives of others, in their eyes, it is just the price they must pay to achieve the ultimate goal. In this case, Epsilon must be the one with the most abnormal brain.
If he cared about the lives of his subordinates, the Time and Space Knights would not have become what they are now.
Chen She asked again: "But there are many innocent people in this world who don't want to become terrible space-time creatures. They just want to live in peace. Your plan will eventually implicate all of them. Don't you think this approach is inappropriate ?"
Epsilon sipped his tea and sneered, "You mean there are a lot of innocent people in this world."
Chen She frowned slightly: "Isn't it?"
Epsilon snorted coldly, "Of course not. The world has become what it is now not because a few evil people are controlling the fate of all mankind. It is precisely because most of the innocent people you are talking about are just a bunch of insensitive, selfish, and stupid people who say one thing and do another."
"In the old land, the real superiors account for less than 1% of the total population, but they are able to form large chaebols and wreak havoc on the world, and no one can stop them."
"Why do they act so recklessly? Is it because they have the best strength? Is it because their wisdom is really better than 99% of people?"
"of course not."
"The reason they can act recklessly is because those innocent people you mentioned are just a bunch of insensitive, selfish, and foolish people who say one thing and do another. They don't hate the chaebols, they just hate that they are not chaebols. When the resistance army you belong to is constantly sacrificing in order to overthrow the chaebols, what are they doing? They are watching coldly and even snitching. For the reward of 1 million corporate bonds, they can reveal all the information of the resistance army to the chaebols."
"The reason why Old Land has become what it is now is that everyone is an accomplice of the chaebol. If that's the case, where do the so-called innocent people come from?"
Chen She drank a sip of tea and stopped talking.
Of course, he was definitely not convinced by Epsilon. Chen She's thoughts were very firm, so how could he be persuaded by such fallacies?
The reason why he didn't say anything was because he found that Epsilon's thoughts had actually formed a very perfect closed loop. The goal was firm and the path was clear. Chen She couldn't change Epsilon's mind by simply talking nonsense.
If you want to change Epsilon's mind, you have to find the weak link in this closed loop and change it little by little through persistent efforts.
Obviously, Epsilon's past life experiences should have had a profound impact on his thoughts, but Chen She currently knows too little about Epsilon and doesn't know how his extreme thoughts were formed.
If you can't find the right remedy, then you might as well shut up and say less.
Chen She finished the tea in the cup and stood up.
He didn't continue chatting with Epsilon because he had other things to do.
After upgrading to the third level of energy fluctuation, Chen She can create a new servant and a new miracle.
The embers and pendulum created previously seem to be successful so far.
Although the rapid improvement of the embers was beyond Chen She's plan, other aspects perfectly achieved the goals that Chen She wanted to achieve.
As for what the new servants and miracles should look like.
Chen She didn’t have any good ideas about miracles yet, but he already had ideas about new servants.
What he wanted to create was a professional manipulator with primary synaesthesia and secondary psychic powers.
The reason for creating this profession is very simple. It is not because Chen She has very strong power in these two channels, and the servants he created will be stronger. But because Grantham is the manipulator.
Grantham can summon tides of space-time beasts and control space-time creatures that are stronger than himself. This is a special attribute of the controller.
The manipulator itself is not a particularly rare profession, it can only be considered generally rare, but as a manipulator, there are differences in strength. A manipulator of Grantham's level is definitely a big trouble. Because he can form a legion of space-time creatures by himself.
Of course, Chen She was not coveting the ability to control space-time creatures. He just wanted to survive better and put a final patch on this operation.
As the priest of the Knights of Time and Space in Dawn City, Grantham can receive orders directly from the top leaders of the Knights of Time and Space.
Grantham probably also reported this activity to the higher-ups of the Knights of Time and Space.
If the priest Grantham suddenly disappeared mysteriously, it would not be difficult to guess what would happen next. The Knights of Time and Space would not simply abandon the branch in Dawn City. They would definitely send a new priest to investigate the cause and effect of this incident.
By then, it is still possible that the case could be traced back to Chen She.
After all, Chen She is now a large space-time connection indicator. He looks at the members of the Space-Time Knights and the members of the Space-Time Knights look at him in the same way, both with the highlight effect of blue light bulbs.
Therefore, Grantham’s death does not mean that the line of the Time and Space Knights is broken, but on the contrary, this line needs to be handled more properly for Chen She.
Because the next priest who comes to Dawn City may not be as easy to talk to as Grantham.
So Chen She thought of a solution, which was to prevent Grantham from losing contact with the top leaders of the Knights of Time and Space.
He had to find a way to replace Grantham's position, and by using the method of changing the cage for the bird, he could develop the entire Dawn City branch of the Time and Space Knights into a special force that was loyal only to himself.
Only in this way can he find a way to completely dispel the suspicion of the top leaders of the Space-Time Knights towards the Dawn City branch and minimize the risk of being exposed!
Moreover, using Grantham as a substitute can also obtain more information about the Time and Space Knights, which is very helpful for understanding Epsilon and the next move of the Time and Space Knights.
It was for this reason that Chen She did not kill Grantham directly, but instead used the curse scholar's ability to possess other bodies to obtain most of the memories in his mind.
Now Grantham has been killed in the final loss of control. Chen She set the second servant as the operator, and then transformed into Grantham's appearance, inheriting most of Grantham's memories. He can directly control all the power of the Time and Space Knights near Dawn City.
Of course, the only loophole is that Grantham himself is a strong man with level 5 energy fluctuations, while Chen She’s servants are only at level 3 energy fluctuations.
The gap in strength is so huge that it is impossible to hide it.
But Chen She had a solution.
Previously, in order to attack the base of the Fujido Group, Grantham had been struggling on the edge of losing control. Excessive use of synaesthesia power caused loss of control, which would have a serious impact on one's own strength.
Dying on the spot when completely out of control is actually a mercy. The worse situation is to become a completely out-of-control space-time creature, causing huge damage to the surroundings in endless pain before slowly dying.
After controlling the general loss of control, it is not surprising that the energy fluctuation level decreases.
Given that Grantham had caused such a big commotion, it was only natural that his energy fluctuation level dropped from level 5 to level 3. If he could still maintain level 5 energy fluctuation, that would be a problem.
Of course, Grantham, who had already reached the fifth level of energy fluctuation, would be able to upgrade very quickly even after being demoted. But this was not a problem , because the creator's upgrade itself was fast.
Everything matched perfectly, plus the special aura effect of the Cursed Scholar. Chen She felt that as long as he was careful, the success rate of this plan would be very high.
Thinking of this, Chen She began to create his second servant.
He could feel the space-time particles in his body being consumed rapidly. Compared to the first servant Ash he created, the consumption this time was at least three times higher.
Originally, the servant Embers that created the second-level energy fluctuations in reality only needed to consume a little more than one unit of space-time particles, but now, if you want to create the third-level energy fluctuations of Embers or Grantham in reality, you need to consume about 5 units of space-time particles.
I have to say that the profession of creator is really expensive, and it is really difficult to sustain it without some financial support.
However, the improvement brought by spending money is also very obvious. When Chen She reached the third level of energy fluctuation, he was already in a 3 to 1 situation.
Yu Jin charged ahead, Grantham controlled the space-time creatures to help out, and Chen She assisted them. It was really unreasonable, and the general level 4 energy fluctuations should not be able to withstand the three of them.
If the level is raised again, more servants can be created, then in the end Chen She himself will be a group, and a single fight is equivalent to a group fight. This kind of combat power is really scary.
A moment later, a man who looked exactly like Grantham appeared in front of Chen She and performed a special courtesy to him.
"Mr. Chen, we meet again."
Of course, all of this was performed by Chen She according to Grantham's habits, and it was exactly the same as Grantham himself.
In fact, the creator may fail in the process of creating a servant. The rarer the path, the higher the chance of failure, especially at low levels.
Chen She did not deliberately pursue the creation of rare professions. After all, rare professions themselves do not mean strong combat effectiveness. What's more, his first purpose in creating them was to suppress the power of Epsilon.
So far, the two servants Chen She has created are the New Human and the Manipulator.
The former is a pure genetic profession, so it is very simple to create and will not fail, while the latter is a psychic and synaesthesia profession, so there is no problem either.
After the creation was completed, Chen She immediately acquired all the professional characteristics related to the manipulator.
In short, the manipulator has a strong synaesthesia ability, which can form a special connection with the space-time rift. It can develop affinity with space-time creatures, and even raise and control space-time creatures with higher energy fluctuation levels than themselves.
Of course, this kind of control is not unlimited.
If the operator wants to improve his strength, he must constantly develop affinity with space-time creatures of various energy fluctuation levels, which is somewhat similar to the relationship between a tamer and a wild beast.
One cannot just threaten or force them, nor can one just indulge them. One must find ways to establish one's own authority while at the same time becoming the closest partner to the creatures of time and space.
If the oppression is too severe, the space-time creatures may lose control and turn against their own side; and if they are indulged too much, the master-servant relationship may be reversed, and the manipulator may be controlled by the space-time creatures instead, thus ending up in an inverted state of being accomplices to the evildoer.
It is difficult to grasp the right degree.
Therefore, although the manipulator profession is only generally rare and not the rarest profession, manipulators of high-level energy fluctuations are still quite rare and possess very powerful powers.
As for Chen She, because of the existence of Epsilon, all his servants could not be raised in wealth, but only in poverty.
Because once the manipulator's strength increases too quickly, it will also cause Chen She's synesthesia ability to become unbalanced.
Thinking of this, Chen She said to Grantham: "The manipulator itself is a very dangerous profession. Forcibly controlling a creature with too high an energy fluctuation level may cause it to lose control. It is too dangerous."
"So let's start with the lower-level space-time creatures to be on the safe side."
"Okay, let's go practice."
Gransom looked ahead of him, and saw that Chen She had left him a space-time creature the size of a mouse, with an energy fluctuation level even lower than level one.
He looked at the huge monster in the distance again.
For a long time afterwards, his task was to raise and control this space-time creature in Chen She's consciousness world, slowly improving his own strength until he could use this little mouse to kill the huge monster.
