Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 269: Light of Annihilation

"It's bad."

Chen Ming said in his heart.

How come all the psychics of Zuojing are so weak? They died suddenly without any investigation.

The black fog that assassinated him before was also like that. He seemed to have some strength at first, but he was exhausted after two rounds of fighting. He wanted to escape but was captured by him.

The gatekeeper on the space station behind him was almost defenseless. He was killed by his sneak attack. He didn't even know what psychic power was.

Now the psychic who can control electromagnetic force that I just met can only control metal. He has no other performance.

Using metal to make large weapons looks very impressive, but in the end, he gave it away without understanding anything.

The psychics of Zuojing are really not good.

But think about it, unless there is a compelling reason, who would go to Zuojing if they are really good psychics.

It is good news for Chen Ming that the psychics of Zuojing are weaker than those of the Empire.

But it is more troublesome at this time.

This electromagnetic psychic was given away before he could even find out anything, and he also gave the totem pole a new ability.

This was actually a mistake by Chen Ming.

He never expected that the psychic of Zuo Jing could not even resist a face-to-face encounter and died suddenly.

And the way he died suddenly was very strange.

It is completely unclear what ability this totem pole has? What on earth is it?

Even the Queen of Insects cannot directly devour a complete psychic and then reproduce the psychic power of this psychic.

The ability of this thing is really a bit exaggerated.

If it was him who just rushed over to fight in close combat, I am afraid that the third face on this totem pole should be An Wuping.

Wait, if you think so.

Then are the two faces on this totem pole the psychics that were eaten earlier?

Does it also mean that there were originally three psychics in this underground laboratory?

If there were really other psychics who were eaten earlier, then things would be wrong.

It is not only a question of whether the power of this totem pole is abnormal, but also a question of why Zuo Jing actually sent five psychics here.

Let’s not talk about whether Zuo Jing has so many psychics, why did Zuo Jing arrange five psychics in this galaxy?

The research content in the space station and laboratory in this place does not require Zuo Jing to do this.

Unless, the totem pole is also one of the research contents.

However, Chen Ming rejected this idea immediately.

Because he has already controlled the entire underground laboratory, although all the databases have not been read in detail, the general contents have basically been confirmed.

All the research contents have nothing to do with the state of this totem pole, and this is even more so on the space station.

There is no clue to prove that Zuo Jing is conducting this research.

Chen Ming is now more inclined to believe that this is a new mess that Zuo Jing has made himself, rather than a leak in the laboratory that they originally wanted to do.

And look at the two faces that were originally on the top of the totem pole.

Although the mask faces were deliberately distorted with flesh and blood, one of the faces was obviously neutral and had a distinct sense of charm.

This face gave Chen Ming a feeling of "infatuation" when he first saw it, which was similar to the feeling that infatuation with the spirit stone gave him.

The other face was expressionless, cold and hard, and the feeling it gave him was also similar to the feeling that a certain spirit stone gave him.

So the faces that Chen Ming saw now should be the embodiment of the psychic characteristics of this totem pole.

The infatuation ability was already felt when he saw it.

It's just that this feeling was protected by the frenzy language spirit stone, turning into the feeling of vomiting, and it overlapped with the psychic fluctuations emitted by the flesh and blood of the mind beasts around it, which were also triggered by the infatuation spirit stone, so the feeling was not obvious, but it was indeed there.

And when the electromagnetic field ability grew on the new face and the totem pole was glowing with electricity, he also felt it, and it was even the most obvious ability.

Then the cold face should also have its unique ability.

Maybe the property that cannot be observed by non-naked equipment and cannot be touched from a physical level is brought by this face.

As for the ability to eat and transform people directly, Chen Ming does not feel that it is the effect brought by the three faces.

Rather, it is the ability of the totem pole itself.

If this thing continues to be given the opportunity to devour psychics, then how far this thing can grow is obviously a question that people have to think about, but they don’t want to happen at all.

Such a thing that can directly kill even the fake body that Chen Ming spent a lot of effort to create, if it really grows up, I am afraid that many troubles will happen.

However, things are not without a turn.

Because when the totem pole eats the psychic of the left path, the third face grows on the top.

Chen Ming could clearly feel that the chaotic feeling of the mixed abilities of the totem pole itself became more and more obvious.

It was even obvious that there was a possibility of collapse at any time.

It would become more fragile when absorbing new abilities, which seemed to be its weakness.

It seemed acceptable to Chen Ming to give this totem pole one more ability in exchange for discovering its weakness.

However, this chaotic state close to collapse did not really cause the totem pole to collapse. It was recovering rapidly from this state of unrestricted and unconstrained psychic power.

Chen Ming did not think about it any more. He had to seize this opportunity.

The plasma condensed into shape in his hand and was constrained into the shape of a spear by the strong magnetic field.

Directly releasing plasma would cause the power of plasma to be dispersed.

And using the magnetic field force to constrain it into some shapes and adding some constraining materials on the outside can better exert the power of plasma.

The Zerg muscles on Chen Ming's body twisted into an extremely solid block, driving the huge body power to throw out the almost materialized plasma spear.

The continuous plasma explosion extended from the trajectory of Chen Ming's spear all the way to the front of the totem pole.

At the moment when the plasma spear hit, it did not pass directly through as before.

The small amount of Zerg keratin created by Chen Ming to restrict the plasma spear exploded at the moment of hitting.

The powerful explosion directly collapsed the passage of the laboratory and buried the totem pole completely in the ruins.

It can be seen that even with the restrained spear-shaped plasma, a large amount of escape will occur, reacting with the surrounding environment to cause the energy used for the main attack to decay.

However, the restriction effect made by Chen Ming was not bad, at least the power of the explosion was concentrated near the totem pole.

However, before he had time to be happy about the power of this spear, he heard the movement from the inside of the ruins again.

All the metal structures on the collapsed laboratory ruins were pulled by a magnetic force, taking away most of the collapsed soil, and rebuilding the collapsed passage, revealing the appearance of the totem pole that was almost intact.

It only had some broken marks on the arms and limbs that formed part of its torso, and no other damage.

Even the charming face that was hit directly by the spear did not have a single scratch left.

Chen Ming's heart sank, and the plasma spear in his hand condensed again.

This time, the glow of the plasma flashing on the spear he condensed was more dazzling than before.

However, as a flash of light and a series of explosions flashed by, the situation was no different from before.

The effect of this spear was even worse than before.

His plasma could not kill this monster.

And at this moment, the totem pole also adapted to the new electromagnetic force at an astonishing speed.

The chaotic fluctuations on its body have disappeared, and it can even interfere with Chen Ming's release of plasma to a certain extent.

Plasma is actually an effect extended from the power of the magnetic field, but it needs some additional assistance. Pure magnetic fields cannot create plasma.

But as a part of the composition of plasma, magnetic fields can still be used to interfere with it.

Moreover, An Wuping's plasma is not psychic power, but plasma manually produced by body organs.

Such an ordinary ability is already at a disadvantage compared to psychic ability.

Not to mention that the two abilities are relatively close in nature.

Chen Ming tried to condense the spear again, but this time, the spear was not even as bright as the first spear.

After the totem pole completely mastered the electromagnetic ability, it was difficult for An Wuping, the prosthesis, to effectively kill this thing.

A bit troublesome.

At this time, Chen Ming could still clearly feel that the chaotic psychic fluctuations belonging to the totem pole around him were constantly expanding, and the psychic fluctuations of the mind beast were almost imperceptible.

His biggest enemy now is this totem pole.

How to fight?

How to fight such a monster that can be said to perfectly restrain An Wuping?

It is known that direct melee is courting death, and the ability to use plasma is also restrained to death.

Even if he can directly blow up the entire laboratory, I am afraid that he can't limit this monster that also has the ability to control the magnetic field.

Moreover, it was the effect that Chen Ming had just played, and it was just after it absorbed the psychic and entered a short period of chaos that it barely caused a little damage.

Where can he find another psychic?

Chen Ming had the answer when he thought of this question.

But An Wuping's prosthesis took him a lot of effort to make, and he couldn't just give An Wuping away.

He had to see if there were other opportunities.

Chen Ming stopped fighting the totem pole and turned to retreat to the periphery of the laboratory.

The totem pole immediately followed, and while constantly killing the left-path molecules outside the laboratory who failed to evacuate the laboratory, it continued to advance towards Chen Ming.

The totem pole did not even need to be seen by the left-path molecules. As long as its psychic fluctuations spread and touched those left-path molecules, their limbs would break by themselves, and the whole person would become part of the totem pole.

As more and more left-path molecules outside the laboratory were killed by the totem pole, the diameter and length of the totem pole had almost doubled compared to when it first appeared.

If the laboratory space was not large enough, the passages between the laboratories might not be able to accommodate this size.

However, since Chen Ming had tried it before and physical means were ineffective, the totem pole should actually have the ability to ignore obstacles.

I just don't know why the totem pole is still tracking along the path he has walked.

And as the totem pole grew in size, Chen Ming found that its speed became faster and faster, and the limbs under it obviously exerted stronger power than before.

Forcing Chen Ming to speed up.

The direction of things is gradually developing towards a situation he doesn't want to see.

Unconsciously, Chen Ming had approached the door of the inclined passage leading to the outside world in the laboratory.

Without thinking much, he took another path near the door and circled back to the deepest part of the laboratory.

The totem pole was obviously close to the door, but it did not take the opportunity to leave. It still followed.

It looked like only one of it and Chen Ming could survive today.

Although the totem pole could interfere with Chen Ming with its psychic power, it really couldn't kill Chen Ming without getting close.

In other words, if Chen Ming wanted to run, he could actually leave directly and get on the spaceship, and the totem pole would not be able to track him.

But Chen Ming didn't want to, and he had to solve the trouble he caused himself.

Just as Chen Ming was circling around with the totem pole, thinking about what other means he had to get rid of this monster.

He circled back to the place where he first entered the laboratory.

And here, he suddenly found a strange place.

The psychic fluctuations of the mind beast were actually being absorbed by the totem pole.

This is not like the psychic beast and the dimensional infection, which is completely unrelated and even has some repulsive feeling. It is the psychic fluctuations of the totem pole that absorb and transform the psychic fluctuations of the psychic beast.

Chen Ming was shocked and immediately sensed the residual mental power he had along the way.

The result is terrible.

The psychic fluctuations that remained during his actions, that is, the psychic fluctuations of the queen worm, were also absorbed by the totem pole.

It is no wonder that the totem pole has shown a slight sense of increased physical strength during this period of tracking.

It will slowly absorb the psychic fluctuations that escape from the surrounding environment, not just by eating psychics.

Any psychic will gradually become a part of the totem pole in the process of fighting with the totem pole.

Is this a bit scary?

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more he felt that the ability of this totem pole made it difficult for him to think of a suitable solution.

And just when the totem pole absorbed more and more psychic fluctuations, Chen Ming saw that the top of the totem pole monster suddenly tore apart without any sign.

A new face emerged from the crack, twisted, and formed a mask-like face with An Wuping's face.

The power of the Queen of Insects was usurped by it.

Chen Ming felt what horror was at this moment.

At this moment, the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations on the totem pole body appeared again.

Chen Ming knew that this was his only chance.

All the energy of An Wuping's body was used by him to convert plasma.

And all the converted plasma was condensed by Chen Ming into a small ball with a diameter of only ten centimeters in the palm of his hand.

A magnificent ball of light emitting a destructive aura.

The ball of light formed by excessive plasma was thrown by Chen Ming.

A ray of annihilation flashed in the underground of the laboratory.

A light that could blind everyone's eyes filled the entire laboratory.

This time the plasma did not explode, but silently annihilated all the existences that came into contact with the light.

Even Chen Ming could not see clearly what was happening to the totem pole in front of the light.

After a long time, the plasma beam finally dissipated.

The laboratory did not collapse.

The surrounding soil and rocks that were not directly in contact with the annihilation light but had almost been burned into glass still supported the laboratory.

The totem pole appeared in front of Chen Ming again.

The plasma ball he created by exhausting almost all his energy did have an effect.

The broken arms on the totem pole's trunk broke into pieces, revealing the bright red, obviously alive organs.

A large number of organs fell to the ground with the appearance of the torso gap, and it seemed that Chen Ming's attack method just now did cause serious damage to the totem pole.

However, Chen Ming had no time to rejoice.

At the bottom of the totem pole, the arms that had worn out their fingers during the movement suddenly twitched and moved. They barely picked up the internal organs on the ground and crushed themselves to fill the wounds caused by the plasma just now.

Chen Ming's face turned black and his right hand was empty.

He was already using psychic energy to transfer Zerg energy crystals to An Wuping to replenish the energy just consumed.

But another terrible thing happened to the totem pole.

Its lost internal organs had just been stuffed in for a few seconds, and its limbs had already repaired the gap.

And with the psychic fluctuations of the Queen of Insects appearing on it, the wounds recovered naturally.

After all, the body strengthening psychic energy provided by the Queen of Insects is comprehensive, and the speed of recovery from injuries is also a part of physical strength.

Originally, it was a very useful psychic power for Chen Ming, but he didn't expect that it would be so disgusting to use it on a hostile existence.

Chen Ming's heart had completely sunk to the bottom.

But he had no intention of retreating.

The psychic power of the Queen of Insects had been absorbed without An Wuping being eaten, but he still had one chance.

At this time, there was no living person in the entire Zuojing laboratory.

All monitoring equipment was also under his control, and he could use his own psychic power at will.

This was the last and only chance.

If he failed, he might personally cultivate a more terrifying monster that possessed his psychic power, the psychic power of the Queen of Insects, and three other abilities.

This consequence might not be something he could bear.

But Chen Ming didn't think about it anymore at this time.

He didn't want to think about what the consequences would be if this thing failed, he had to rely on instinct to fight.

He did this before when he encountered desperate situations. If his instinct hadn't told him to use the Word of Madness Spirit Stone to hedge against the Spiritual Awakening Nerve, he would have died on Zuojing's experimental table long ago.

So he planned to ignore everything and just trust himself and his instincts.

Just do what his instincts told him to do.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and released his own spiritual energy fluctuations.

The totem pole that was still chasing Chen Ming instantly sped up its movements a lot. Although there was no obvious expression on its four masked faces.

But Chen Ming could feel that it was craving for his spiritual energy.

Chen Ming had completely emptied his brain.

A huge amount of spiritual energy fluctuations dissipated inside the laboratory, and the entire laboratory was becoming his kingdom.

In this process, the totem pole was desperately absorbing this unique spiritual energy that could not leave any spiritual energy fluctuations.

Only two minutes later, the top of the totem pole was torn apart by itself again.

But this time, the situation seemed a little different from the previous one.

The torn flesh and blood tissue had not yet condensed a new face, but was still bleeding and losing the spiritual energy fluctuations belonging to the totem pole itself.

The totem pole could not replicate Chen Ming's psychic energy, and it could not transform Chen Ming's psychic energy into a part of itself.

The complexity of Chen Ming's psychic energy could not be replicated by any other creature or other existence.

Suddenly, a large amount of dark organs and blood suddenly spurted out from the crack wound torn open by the totem pole itself.

It was vomiting, vomiting out the psychic fluctuations that belonged to Chen Ming himself.

As it did so, it also fell into a weaker state than before.

The psychic nature of the frenzy language spirit stone is very extreme.

Although the nature of the obsession spirit stone is neutral, it is also very extreme.

The totem pole also seems to be a being closely related to extremes.

But obviously, the nature of Chen Ming's psychic fluctuations is the most extreme.

At this moment, the dark beast with a gorgeous luster suddenly appeared in front of the weak totem pole.

Instinct told Chen Ming that the totem pole at this moment no longer had the ability to kill him directly.

The luster on his body was the plasma with the highest concentration naturally dissipated under the continuous supply of energy crystals from Chen Ming. Chen Ming could no longer restrain the luster.

Chen Ming jumped up and jumped to the top of the totem pole. His clenched right fist rushed directly into the crack at the top of the totem pole.

"Do you like to eat?"

Chen Ming loosened his clenched right hand, and a pure white light ball with a starry sky inside was stuffed into the body of the totem pole.

At this moment, Chen Ming felt danger again.

It was not the danger from the totem pole, but the danger from the plasma he had just created.

In the sharp stinging feeling, Chen Ming immediately ran away from the totem pole and hid deeper underground relying on the top digging ability of the Zerg unit.

However, he didn't have time to hide in a place where there was no sense of danger.

He suddenly heard a tinnitus in his ears, coming from An Wuping's prosthesis, whose physical fitness could withstand large weapons.

At this moment, An Wuping had no way to collect any effective information.

It can only be confirmed that An Wuping is still alive. Although hiding in advance did not completely get rid of the range of plasma, it was still useful.

So Chen Ming could only try to confirm the situation through the monitoring around the laboratory.

However, looking back now, everything in the laboratory seemed to have failed.

Chen Ming could only look further ahead and try to use the equipment of the ecological observation space station to observe the situation on the planet.

But soon, Chen Ming found that he didn't need to use the equipment on the space station.

Because now, the star-like light on the surface of the planet can be seen with the naked eye.

The explosion of this terrifying plasma can be observed on the space station.
