Chapter 101 The True Lie
The Zerg originally had only the ultimate brood and no master. M.
The brood is the leader!
In the war of the fourth era, the ultimate Zerg brood was defeated and escaped. When it reappeared, it became even stronger. The most shocking thing was that it actually possessed powerful spiritual power.
The Zerg has always been dominated by tyrannical flesh/body, and suddenly they have mental abilities, and it is such a terrifying mental ability, which naturally makes the Supreme Council suspicious.
With the continuation of the war, the Supreme Council found that not only the brood had become stronger, but the IQ of the entire Zerg had developed rapidly.
More Zerg arms, more Zerg tactics, more targeted attacks, and more understanding of the city!
All of this fully shows that a more powerful and terrifying existence has appeared among the Zerg, and the Supreme Council calls it the master.
In the subsequent battle, they also confirmed this fact.
The overlord is in the ultimate hive.
However, who is the master and how did it appear? No one knows. People have not even seen its appearance. Even if its existence is copied through the system, due to the limited rules, the Supreme Council cannot personally intervene and can only rely on Adventurers have come to lift its veil of mystery, but none have succeeded.
Although it was unsuccessful, the Supreme Council still guessed based on the situation at the time that the so-called Zerg Overlord was probably a Queresian who secretly survived the rebellion war in the Fourth Epoch.
Only the Queres people can understand the city so well, can understand the system so well, can have such a strong spiritual coercion, can use their own power to create new species for the Zerg in the dream space of the barren land outside the city .
But this is only speculation after all. In order to confirm the facts, the Supreme Council has also used various methods to lift the mysterious veil of the ruler.
Like Sargeras, Shen Yi is actually not the first one.
It's just that Shen Yi did not complete this task until today!
Sargeras' dark revenge and self-explosion in terror finally revealed the true face that Queres had been hiding all along.
Even Shen Yi, who had never seen a Queresian before, could guess at a glance that this was a Queresian, let alone the Supreme Council he had seen before?
"What do people from Queres look like?" After listening to Lan Yan Shen Yi's explanation,
Everyone finally realized suddenly, and asked Shen Yi gently at this moment.
"A kind of energy body, like water, the smoke is actually not fog, it may be an external part of its body." Shen Yi replied: "It looks...actually a bit like SS, but without that majestic armor. "
"That's right." Lan Yan also said, "The people of Queres always think that they are the Xel'Naga tribe of Creation God, but they look more like the Protoss of God Creation, with strong mental power and the ability to communicate with each other. But **weak/weak."
"Why does it sound like StarCraft? Now that there are three tribes of humans, insects and gods, what about the Xel'Naga? If the Queres are not the Xel'Naga, who are they?" Zhou Yiyu asked.
"I don't know." Lan Yan shook her head, "Maybe it's this space, maybe it's the owner of this space, or maybe...it's that girl."
"That girl appeared later than the adventurer, she is not Naganaga." Hong Lang pouted.
Shen Yi immediately said: "That's not necessarily the case... Qian Zhongshu said that the law of evolution is to come from behind. In the world, there are inorganic matter before organic matter, plants before air, single-celled organisms before animals, And eventually there will be humans. So if there is a God in the world, then he must have appeared after humans. Therefore, it may not be unreasonable for Nagar to appear after the three races. From the perspective of games, Blizzard must also be the first Three races are designed, and the background is added at the end."
"..." Everyone was speechless.
King Kong said with a smile: "This is sophistry, the game is not the Zerg and Human race created by the Protoss."
"The bloody city is not StarCraft." Shen Yi spread his hands: "All of this is just a resemblance, a coincidence, and not the truth. The truth is that there is only one left of the great Protoss, living on the Zerg, humans and Zerg Love each other and kill each other, the survival of the universe depends on the two races of humans and insects... What a great war, we are all saviors."
Hong Lang murmured: "I like this statement."
Lan Yan also smiled: "Now that you understand all of this, you shouldn't have any misunderstanding or dissatisfaction with the Supreme Council, right?"
Shen Yi replied: "Of course, Lord Lan Yan, you have explained everything clearly, how could I have any objections to the council... Oh no, I also had no objections to the council before!"
Lan Yan glared at him angrily.
He knew that Shen Yi was unwilling to admit that he was dissatisfied with the Supreme Council no matter what, but he didn't force it, anyway, Shen Yi was a sensible person, and it was fine if he could understand the helplessness of the Supreme Council.
At this moment, Lan Yan said: "Since this is the case, let me tell you a few more things. You should have discovered that the income rewards have changed this time, right?"
"En." Shen Yi nodded, and when he mentioned the reward, Shen Yi's expression immediately became serious.
He was tortured to death by the master before, and if he wanted to win, he had to point to this profit. He didn't want to hear something like "You guys cheated too much this time, half of the reward will be deducted" from Lan Yan's mouth.
Fortunately, Lan Yan finally didn't say that, after all, before the mission, the Supreme Council knew that Shen Yi and the others must have made a lot of money this time.
Restricting income is the need of the principle of balance, not the need of the Supreme Council. As long as it conforms to the principle, the city will not interfere—of course, the exception is hostility to the Supreme Council.
Lan Yan said: "The change in income rewards is because the Supreme Council has strengthened its control over the system. Over the years, the Supreme Council has not given up on the strategy of the system."
"Understandable, it seems that the council has achieved some results." Shen Yi smiled.
The adventurers are busy attacking the mission world, the guardians are busy attacking the Zerg, and the Supreme Council is busy attacking the system. No one is idle.
However, the Supreme Council's sudden breakthrough at this time is probably related to the imperfect rule item that the Broken Blade team got last time, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
"Yes, the modification of the system's reward principles is a breakthrough performance, thanks to your help last time." Lan Yan also said happily, and it was indeed related to that item: "After completing the breakthrough, the Supreme Council has once again increased its combat power. The upper limit, some restrictions have been lifted."
"Oh, this is a good thing!" Everyone became excited at the same time.
The improvement of the bloody city's combat effectiveness also increased step by step with time and the development of the system. Although in heaven and hell, the so-called ancestor gods and ancestor demons are the strongest, but in the real city, the ancestors are all scum. The demon gods of the first era may not be stronger than the current demon kings, and the third era does not even have artifacts. On the contrary, the subsystems were invented, which only shows that the systems at that time were weak enough!
Now that there are new improvements and new breakthroughs, it shows that everyone's combat effectiveness can be further developed. At this moment, Hong Lang has already asked: "So there are some breakthroughs?"
"One: Grading the artifacts. In the past, the artifacts were too messy, but the same artifacts were of different heights. This time, we can grade them. The artifacts start from sub-artifacts, to low-level artifacts, medium artifacts, high-level artifacts and ultimate artifacts. At the same time, it provides more opportunities for artifact synthesis.”
"Great!" Everyone shouted wildly at the same time, they knew why Lan Yan told them this.
This time the Broken Blade team got a lot of artifacts, it was too much to sell, and there was no chance to deal with it - the last time Blue Bird helped Shen Yi synthesize it, it was the exchange condition for Shen Yi to hand in the rule items, not the system function.
Now that Bloody City has officially opened the artifact-level synthesis, it is undoubtedly very good news for the Broken Blade team.
"Two: Open skill adjustment." Lan Yan continued: "The so-called skill adjustment means that adventurers have another way to deal with some skills that they can't use: transfer!"
Due to the pressure of the environment, when adventurers learn skills, they often learn what skills they catch in order to temporarily strengthen themselves.
For example, Shen Yi's spiritual exploration, despicable healing skills, Hong Lang's tyranny, King Kong's Void Finger, Zhou Yiyu's Demon Blessing Body, and some skills that were useful at the time but useless later, such as Fatty's reflection wave.
It is a pity that these skills are discarded, and they are useless and become tasteless.
Fortunately for Shen Yi, the two skills he learned can always be used. Most adventurers almost have skills that have been relegated to the sidelines. While these skills are useless to themselves, they may not be useless to others.
For this reason, in order to further enhance the strength of adventurers, the Supreme Council launched a skill transfer scroll.
This skill scroll service allows adventurers to transfer skills between adventurers. Skills of different ranks correspond to skills of different ranks, and the price is one-tenth and one-fifth of the price of standard skills. A low-level scroll that costs one-tenth of the price will automatically reduce the skills to one level after transfer. One-fifth of them are high-level scrolls, which can be reserved for level transfer.
Since adventurers can freely choose to use high-level or low-level scrolls according to their own skills, the convenience is extremely high, and the price is not too expensive. It can be seen that the Supreme Council still supports the improvement of the strength of adventurers.
Perhaps it can also be argued that the Zerg is getting harder to deal with now, and more Guardians are desperately needed to join.
"That's really great." Shen Yi said happily.
"Sacred artifacts are synthesized in the temple, and sacrifices are needed. I see that you have obtained a lot of sacrifices this time, but there are also many artifacts. It may not be enough. Before the news spreads, hurry up and buy some. The skill transfer scroll is coming. It’s available in the store, just buy it directly. And I have some bad news for you.”
"what?"
"You have the blood and soul of Sargeras, right?"
Shen Yi's heart tightened: "There won't be any problems, right?"
"How can there be no problem?" Lan Yan sighed: "Sargeras was originally the boss of the twentieth floor, but now his strength has skyrocketed to the thirty-fifth floor. But you know, the existence of heaven and hell itself is just the background, there is no mission world , so there can be no change."
Shen Yi understood: "You mean, our trip to hell this time will not change the background in any way, and Sargeras will still only be the boss on the twentieth floor in the background, so what we get is from the Burning Legion His soul and bloodline, will it be reduced to the standard of a twenty-level demon god?"
"yes."
"Damn, how can this work?" Hong Lang immediately called out.
That's right, Sargeras is indeed the boss of the twentieth floor of hell, so it's no problem where you want him to be, but the problem is that when I deal with him, he is at the thirty-fifth floor of strength. This weakening, where is the principle of balance?
Sargeras and Mannoroth were the only two souls whose strength had increased due to the invasion of the Burning Legion. The other ancestors of dragons, Rose, had no change in their own strength, so there was no need to lower it. But even so, it is unacceptable for everyone to reduce the strength of Sargeras' soul and bloodline. This is a super awesome guy-even though he is vulnerable to the Overlord.
Lan Yan smiled wryly: "There is no other way. The bloodline of Sargeras has its limit, and what you have obtained has already exceeded this limit. Once you use it, it will form a special existence and affect the system. Of course, the highest Parliament will compensate you for that, which is also in line with the principle of balance."
He knows Shen Yi very well now, it's no problem to steal Shen Yi's benefits, as long as he can supply him with the corresponding benefits.
Sure enough, Shen Yi smiled and said: "How to make up for it? This is the soul and bloodline of the thirty-fifth level. I still expect to summon Sargeras and Mannoroth when I fight the master."
Lan Yan knew that Shen Yi was deliberately exaggerating the role of Sargeras, and said with a smile: "You don't need to bluff, no matter how strong Sargeras' bloodline is, you can't use it, after all, you already have your own bloodline. But lower it Finally, the Supreme Council can help you integrate."
"That sounds good." Shen Yi nodded.
Indeed, no matter how strong the bloodline of Sargeras is, it is useless if he cannot use it. If he can integrate into the original bloodline at the cost of reducing his strength, it is completely acceptable. The question is how to reduce it.
Shen Yi said: "I hope to reduce the quantity and ensure the quality."
Sargeras also has twelve original bloodline skills, no berserk form, four skills per form, and the power of the skills is reduced.
For Shen Yi, now they have reached the stage of reducing quantity and increasing quality.
Lan Yan immediately said: "It's definitely not the highest level, but a limited improvement is still possible, but in this case, there will be more skills to be reduced."
"Then it depends on how much the reduction is. It's best to specify."
"That requires extra effort."
"Money is not a problem." Rich people are rich and powerful.
Lan Yan was helpless: "Okay, but the blood of the devil can only be fused with the blood of the devil, so here, only Zhou Yiyu, Luo Hao, Hong Lang, and Zhou Lin can fuse the blood of Sargeras. You choose one. After returning to the city, let him go to the temple for blood fusion."
"Just Hong Lang." Shen Yi replied without thinking.
Langqiu's pedigree is now the worst among the six. After transforming into the Demon Slayer, Hong Lang almost doesn't use skills, and only relies on improved attacks to fight. Being able to integrate the blood of Sargeras will undoubtedly further enhance Hong Lang's strength.
Hearing this at this moment, Hong Lang laughed, flipped his wrist, and a soul of the Slaughtering Demon God was already in his hand: "I got it in the Slaughtering Hell, can it be fused together?"
"As long as you have money." Lan Yan rolled her eyes and was beginning to lose her strength.
The others were all surprised, and asked softly: "There is no God Catching Net, no Megatron, no Energy Net, how did you get it?"
Hong Lang grinned: "Beat it."
"..."
Shen Yi patted Hong Lang: "Don't worry about anything else, you must get the flame light. The path of doom may have a bonus effect with your Void Blade. Except for these three, you can figure out the rest... probably there won't be a fourth one."
For Hong Lang, these three skills are indeed the most suitable for him. Shen Yi is not uncommon for other group combat skills. The group battle effect of battleships is much stronger than the skills.
After the matter was over, Lan Yan left without hesitation, and the system automatically started to settle the settlement for Shen Yi and the others.
In fact, there is nothing to tie, Shen Yi and the others' mission income is mainly obtained through killing, and now they are all stored in the emblem space.
The rewards for the main task were not much. Hong Langwen and the others, after completing the task of 54,000 points each, they didn't work hard and focused on other aspects.
By the time Shen Yi expropriated and extorted money in the central city, he made a lot of money, and the three parties added up to more than two million.
In terms of contribution, it was the opposite. Although he earned a lot and spent a lot, not only did he not get a high ranking, he was even lower than the average, and some points were deducted instead.
Fortunately, Team Broken Blade's great career doesn't care about deducting points. What they want is the various skills brought by their contributions, not points.
Therefore, the system's final settlement for them was just over 2 million points, which was not much different from the previous estimate.
In terms of special points, Zhou Yiyu left on the fifteenth floor, Shen Yi left on the thirty-sixth floor, and the others left on the thirty-fifth floor, adding up to nearly 60,000 special points.
Although the contribution is not the highest, the system still rated the Broken Blade team as perfect, so there is a perfect reward. At the cost of lowering one level, Shen Yi asked for a piece of armor with increased damage and weakening, and then lost the tattoo without even looking at it. It's in the chapter - that thing is for smashing.
All in all, the system's rewards are actually not small, but in the eyes of the Broken Blade team, which has already made a fortune, it is not worth mentioning. What really benefits them is the rewards of the mission world itself.
As for Sargeras, due to the Juggernaut's participation in the war and the modification of the system, he only gave the most basic bloodline and the Lord of the Rings.
Leaving the space and returning to the city, M7 Wei Na and others are already waiting for them.
Shen Yi exchanged pleasantries with them for a while, and roughly chatted about what happened on the 36th floor, but he didn't say the true face of the Juggernaut, he only said that he had confirmed the way the Juggernaut fought against the ultimate brood, and he already had a countermeasure.
After returning the borrowed equipment, Shen Yi gave them the soul of Mannoroth as the rent for the equipment they borrowed, and asked everyone to sell it for a penny. The Lord of the Rings was bought at a high price after Lao Meng saw it.
Since they have just returned, there are still too many things to deal with - the Broken Blade team is divided into four teams with 10% each, and the equipment is also divided, so everyone is eager to sell equipment, so they separate to deal with affairs first.
As soon as he returned to the villa, Shen Yi made a list of the equipment to be sold. He didn't dare to release all the surnames at once. He was afraid that the price would drop, so he could only hang up ten pieces first. Thinking about it, it was too slow, so he simply asked the summoned soldiers to bring the equipment to the low-difficulty area to sell, and sent out a message to buy sacrifices.
After finishing these things, Shen Yi went to take a bath comfortably, lying motionless in the big bathtub, looking at the ceiling, the scene of the battle between the Zerg master and himself appeared again in his mind.
The stimulation brought to him by those deaths again and again was so great that he almost saw the scene of his head bursting as soon as he closed his eyes. Countless pictures flashed back in Shen Yi's mind, and the three-dimensional image memory made everything reflected in his mind so real, as if he was watching a replay.
Suddenly, a picture flashed through Shen Yi's mind.
Shen Yi sat up abruptly.
Wrapped in a bathrobe, he rushed into the hall: "Zeus, play the battle video!"
A light curtain was shot out, and the scene of the thirty-six levels of hell reappeared.
"Accelerate!" Shen Yi said in a deep voice.
The screen rotated rapidly until Shen Yi flew out of the brood, and Shen Yi shouted: "Rewind three seconds and play at one tenth of the speed!"
The screen started to slow down, advancing frame by frame with difficulty, until Shen Yi raised his hand: "Stop!"
The picture freezes, staying at the moment when the Juggernaut rushes out.
Shen Yi pointed at a point on the screen: "Zoom ten times!"
The screen was zoomed in, Shen Yi looked carefully at the enlarged point, his eyes almost popped out.
"Move forward one space!" Shen Yi tremblingly said.
The screen moved slowly, Shen Yi stared at the screen, his face became more and more ugly.
He murmured softly, "Damn it!"
"What's the matter?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Shen Yi waved his hand, and the screen disappeared.
Rou Rou came over, hugged Shen Yi from behind, and said softly: "Did you find something else?"
"You better stop asking." Shen Yi smiled wryly.
"Did Lan Yan lie to us?" The woman shrewdly realized that the only things that could keep Shen Yi silent were matters related to the ruler, the city, and the Supreme Council.
"No." Shen Yi shook his head: "He didn't lie to us."
"then you?"
Shen Yi patted the back of his gentle hand, sighed and said: "Just because a person doesn't lie, doesn't mean what he said must be the truth, and it doesn't mean what he said is everything!" q
