Chapter 262 The Spreading Shadow
Yao Yan's goal is very clear.
He does not intend to save the rebels from defeat by directly destroying the demons on a large scale.
No, it should be said that he had no idea of saving the rebels.
What he needs is for the demon city and the rebels to be destroyed together.
His goal is to equalize the strength of both sides and kill each other as much as possible.
Therefore, he only needs to get rid of the demon queen.
The demon queen is a penetrating killer for the rebels. With the demon queen, the loss of the rebels is devastating.
With them, the demon city will crush the rebels.
Without them, the demon city will also crush the rebels, but it will not be crushing, and there will be relatively large losses.
However, after he took action, to be precise, the moment he left the "mark", the situation was no longer under his control.
The promotion effect scale, the third characteristic of the core ability [rumor].
This characteristic should be related to the spread of rumors.
Unless he deliberately suppresses the target affected by his ability, a "mark" will automatically appear on his body.
The destructive and influencing effects of this mark are very strong. In the past few decades, when he used his ability, he had been suppressing the generation of the mark.
The method of suppression is actually very simple.
Although it is said to be automatically generated, it itself requires the power of Yao Yan as a medium.
Only the object directly affected by his ability will leave a mark.
For example, it can be represented by a pile of sand. If sand is used to attack a person, if there is sand left on the target, the "mark" will be transmitted to the person through the sand.
If he suppresses it from the beginning and does not let it spread to another person, then it will not spread.
But now.
It has spread.
However, this is not a simple matter.
All his behaviors of actively consuming mental power to use his ability will cause this characteristic effect that can be described as a "curse" to spread.
When performing these behaviors, it is necessary to actively suppress this characteristic from taking effect.
In order to understand the worldview of this world, he has suppressed it for a long time.
It's very tiring.
And now, there is no need to suppress it.
Whether it is a demon or other creature, it will spread if it is spread. If there is no accident, he no longer needs these chess pieces.
The moment the thought fell, in Yao Yan's field of vision, the queen's body, the bite wounds left by the black and white crows, emerged with dense, eye-like shadows.
And these eyes are constantly expanding.
In contrast, the eyes of this demon queen have been covered with a layer of darkness, as if they have become empty.
Her spirit has been eroded by the special ability of rumors.
However, it did not explode.
Yao Yan is also very clear about this.
The ability of this characteristic, these "marks", will actively absorb the host's spiritual power and "grow".
But they must grow to a certain extent before they reach their limit.
To be precise, it is like a balloon water ball, which needs to be inflated enough before it explodes.
But it can also be done by actively piercing.
The rebel demon possessed by Yao Yan rushed forward, grabbed the demon queen directly, and rushed towards the other demon queens who were hunting demon rebels at high speed.
Seeing this "corpse" flying over, the carapace on the limbs of another demon queen who was the first to bear the brunt unfolded and gathered at the position of her arm, forming a sharp lance-like horn spike.
At the moment when the carapace lance was formed, she swung it out violently.
However, contrary to her judgment, this "companion" whose body had been pierced was not a corpse.
At the moment of being pierced, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the demon queen.
And from the position where her body was pierced, a large number of blurred shadows emerged-
Snap!
In the silent explosion, the shadow like an eyeball exploded and splashed on the body of the demon queen.
Although the demon queen tried to resist with the carapace, the shadow had already attached to her body.
A strong sense of fatigue emerged, and the wings that were constantly flapping behind her even stopped at this moment, causing her body to fall directly to the ground.
Boom!!!
"The characteristics are basically understood."
Yao Yan looked at this scene without any emotion.
First, when he actively uses his ability and consumes his spirit, this characteristic ability will automatically start and spread through his spiritual power.
However, the target of this characteristic ability is limited to those who have self-awareness and can think and think.
Second, the "mark" formed by this characteristic ability needs to absorb enough spiritual power before it will automatically explode, but before that, it can be triggered by external attacks or he can actively detonate it.
Third, when the mark formed by the characteristic ability erodes and absorbs the host's spiritual power, because of its own spirit's spontaneous resistance and elimination of external invasion, the host will slow down its thinking and even temporarily lose its thinking ability, but after the absorption is completed, the host will restore its thinking ability, but compared with before, they will spontaneously chase "rumors" and use and spread rumors in various ways.
This point is what he has confirmed before.
Fourth, the disadvantages are also the most important place.
After being polluted and eroded by rumors, the recovery speed of these spirits will be greatly reduced or even close to zero due to the inconsistency between body and consciousness, which will cause their own spiritual power to continue to decrease during their conscious activities and eventually die.
In other words, if the host eroded by his power is locked up somewhere and prevented from contacting other people, then the problem can be solved.
This is the so-called isolation.
These characteristics are in line with the characteristics of rumors.
Rumors need a host, an object that can be actively or passively spread outward.
Either someone actively spreads a certain information to others, or this information is recorded on some carriers, read by others, and then continued to spread.
This characteristic obtained at the effect level only corresponds to "active".
It cannot be recorded and retained on things that have no thinking ability.
This is a major disadvantage of this characteristic ability.
Yao Yan thought about and recorded the advantages and disadvantages of his ability, thinking about how to maximize the use of this ability and how to avoid disadvantages.
While he was thinking quietly, below him, the eye-shaped shadow that was constantly absorbing the host's spirit and spreading had already dyed a large area of the battlefield black.
The purgatory-like scene formed a sharp contrast with his movements.
