Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 395 Repairing the Rift

Chen Ming tore Wang Guanghe's body into pieces and extinguished the part of consciousness that controlled the body.

His face was darker than before.

At any other time, Chen Ming wouldn't have cared about threats like brainwashed psykers.

But it happened to be a time when he was sure that he would never have any extra energy to deal with these things in the future.

The trouble of scarlet tearing space invasion is still before him.

He wants to deal with the Crimson Invasion in order to prevent his planet from being affected near the invaded area.

But if Zuo Jing's brainwashing psyker had a way to directly bring Scarlet's influence over, then what he did would be meaningless.

And this is most likely not alarmist or lying to him, because the test results conducted by Chen Ming are already obvious.

He brought Wang Guanghe into the scarlet dimension.

Even if it's just a little distance away, it's still dangling on the edge of the space barrier between phase space and scarlet dimension.

But in any case, Wang Guanghe has definitely entered the scarlet dimension, and there is an eye in the scarlet dimension that can cause a large-scale scarlet infection to appear on the satellite just by looking at it.

He could still act like a normal person and ask why he was brought in.

The reasons for this need not be explained at all.

Chen Ming used An Wuping's identity to go to the Caimo Star Territory in the empire to deal with the dimensional infection incident created by Zuo Jing.

At that time, he saw a psyker, whose codename was Zhen on the left path.

Part of Zhen's body had been infected by scarlet and turned into tentacles of flesh and blood, but he still maintained his consciousness and clashed with him.

Under normal circumstances, for psychics, death always occurs before infection.

Therefore, there is definitely some special connection between Zuo Jing and Scarlet.

The brainwashed psyker may have also been exposed to the scarlet dimension and strengthened his psychic abilities through the power of the scarlet dimension.

This is the conjecture verified by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming's own identity is special. The spiritual energy he awakened was related to dimensions from the beginning, so he can use spiritual energy even though he is countless light years away.

But brainwashing psykers apparently didn't have such abilities in the past.

He did it only after a certain point.

Now the reason has been completely determined.

And if the brainwashing psyker is really connected to Scarlet, it can indeed cause the disaster of dimensional infection to break out in any place affected by his psychic power.

Just like Chen Ming himself did when facing Leviathan.

The brainwashed psyker was now forcing him to make a choice.

Let him be forced to make a choice that must involve losses once again.

He has been forced to give up the rescue of the satellite that has now been completely integrated with negative matter.

Now he is forced to abandon the colonies and planets he worked so hard to build.

He has no other choice.

Because he knew that the loss would be greater, losing his own planet or losing control of the invading scarlet matter.

This is not the choice Chen Ming wants to make at all, but the pressure of the environment is constantly forcing him to make the choice that the brainwashed psyker told him to choose.

This is also the most troublesome situation in having a base of your own.

If Chen Ming was alone, with only the Zerg, Yuhui and Machine Race for company, he wouldn't need to consider these issues at all.

But when he has these, he has to take them into consideration.

What Chen Ming is afraid of now is that when he is dealing with Scarlet's trouble, the brainwashed psyker will

He couldn't be distracted by the sudden outbreak of trouble and deal with Scarlet elsewhere.

Although he has protected every planet and space station, he cannot protect everyone.

Even if he left it alone, the worst result would be the destruction of these planets.

But these planets and colonies are the fruit of his years of hard work.

If there is a loss in the middle, the trouble caused by either making up for the loss or rebuilding may completely ruin his idea.

Chen Ming has always believed in one thing.

If a strong person cannot take into account these aspects, then he is not considered a strong person.

He used to think that he was strong enough and that he could protect those close to him when necessary.

But now it seems... he is not strong enough.

Even though his psychic powers are so powerful that no one in the Empire can confront him head-on, there are still ways to make him make decisions that he doesn't want to do.

This is Zuo Jing, this is Zuo Jing's true leader, the method of brainwashing psykers.

Chen Ming took a deep breath. Throw away the messy thoughts and calm down.

Things are definitely not at their worst yet.

Because he suddenly realized something.

There's nothing wrong with what the brainwashing psyker said, and there's certainly nothing wrong with him being able to do it.

But how can he do it? What price do you need to pay along the way? What kind of losses will there be?

These are the key.

If he could really release the scarlet infection to any corner of the world at will, even to his own side, then the empire would have already started to have dimensional infections break out everywhere.

It was his turn to be the first to "enjoy" the psychic effects from a brainwashed psyker.

Fundamentally speaking, the biggest conflict with Zuo Jing is not him, but the empire.

The empire is the biggest enemy that has been in constant conflict with Zuojie since hundreds and thousands of years ago.

If Zuo Jing really had the means, why didn't he go to the Empire and release the scarlet infection in several important colonies of the Empire at the first time, but came to him instead? He came to him, the person who was most familiar with the scarlet in the Empire.

If the brainwashed psychic brainwashed some people to infiltrate, it would be normal for Chen Ming not to notice it.

He couldn't carefully observe whether everyone would have strange behaviors when doing daily things, at most he would occasionally pay attention to the people he cared about.

But if it was the scarlet.

Chen Ming had absolute confidence that the scarlet could not avoid his detection and infiltrate his territory.

As long as any scarlet dared to appear within the range covered by his psychic power, he could detect it at the first time.

He could say in the most arrogant tone that no one in the entire empire had come into contact with more scarlets than him.

He was just misled by the words of the brainwashed psychic.

The brainwashed psychic would never release the scarlet easily.

Although the president also encountered the scarlet invasion, Chen Ming and the president had worked together for so long and were familiar with each other. It was simply a scarlet invasion that tore the space barrier apart, not a sudden dimensional infection.

There would definitely be a huge cost for the left channel to release the scarlet infection.

The scarlet released by Chen Ming himself was limited and not so contagious, or it was not as contagious as the scarlet substance from the genuine scarlet dimension.

Unless the brainwashed psychic really made himself a part of the scarlet, it would be a fantasy to use the absorbed scarlet power to spread the infection.

He didn't need to worry so much.

But Chen Ming was still a little scared, because he was almost fooled.

He was just talking to someone for a few words, and he almost ignored the objective conditions and limitations.

It seems that chatting with the enemy is okay for others, but it is not so good for the brainwashed psychic who relies on deception and preaching to brainwash.

Kill him directly if you have a chance, and don't give him a chance to complain.

After Chen Ming calmed down, he thought about it carefully. Scarlet was indeed still dangerous.

Even if he could pay a considerable price to actively cause the dimensional infection, the degree of danger was acceptable.

Even if he suffered losses today, he could find a way to make up for the losses.

And let Zuo Jing pay a higher price.

But that was not enough.

He wanted to preserve everything he had more, and he went up to fight Scarlet just to avoid any trouble in his hometown.

Chen Ming's goal was never to completely solve Scarlet, he was not that arrogant.

He couldn't even stay in Scarlet for a long time now, and solving Scarlet was purely a delusion.

What he actually had to do was to repel Scarlet, close the gap in Scarlet, and then retreat.

If necessary, he could even abandon the body that had entered Scarlet at will.

His consciousness could leave any body and enter any body at any time, which was the confidence for him to do so.

If he was efficient enough in repelling the scarlet, he might even be able to catch up with the changes in the satellite's situation.

The scarlet matter could also prevent the planet from turning into a black hole again by guiding the negative matter.

Chen Ming thought for a long time, but with his consciousness and thinking speed, this long time was less than a second in the normal universe.

He made a decision.

He ignored the words of the brainwashed psychic and controlled the scavenger, who had completely become a flesh-and-blood machine, to rush into the scarlet again.

The giant furnace in the core of the scavenger, which looked like a glowing pupil, was no longer smelting metal, but the materials of the phase beasts he brought with his psychic power, of course, all of which were artificially synthesized phase beast materials.

These things themselves have the property of resisting scarlet. After smelting, these effects have not weakened, but will resist scarlet in a more efficient way.

The furnace, which originally emitted a fiery orange light, spewed out a special blue-purple flame like a planetary engine, burning all scarlet things.

The scavenger, who originally had half of his body on the other side of the space rift, also completely entered the scarlet dimension.

Chen Ming finally saw the full picture of the scarlet eye.

It didn't look special, just a huge eyeball, followed by some messy blood and flesh tissue.

The most special thing about it was the scarlet effect brought by his eyes.

Chen Ming even suspected that this eye was the eye that crawled back to the scarlet dimension from other dimensions after the president threw the entire galaxy into other dimensions when the empire was first infected by the dimension.

Of course, he had no evidence.

But it didn't matter whether it was or not. Anyway, as long as the threat of the scarlet dimension to the normal universe was not eliminated, this eye that was wandering in the scarlet dimension and staring at him would always be on Chen Ming's must-kill list.

As Chen Ming controlled the flesh and blood mechanical scavenger to enter the scarlet, and relied on the scavenger's core furnace to release a huge amount of phase matter to pierce the scarlet in the opposite direction.

The scarlet eye, which was injured by this phase matter, finally broke out a round of counterattack.

A circle of blood-red substance appeared in its huge black-red pupil, and there was no other substantial observable phenomenon.

But Chen Ming's mental power was being consumed at a speed nearly ten times faster than before.

The power of Scarlet Eye comes from its gaze.

Its gaze carries the power of psychic energy.

All Chen Ming can do is to use his mental power to collide with its gaze.

This kind of pure psychic power confrontation does not have any actual combat skills, only explosive power impact and lasting patience with mental power as the core foundation.

In this process, Chen Ming must also divide part of his attention to completely close the space rift leading to the phase space behind him.

But Chen Ming just had this idea.

The flesh and blood tissues behind the Scarlet Eye that seemed to be attached to the eyeball suddenly flowed out countless scarlet substances like blood.

This is not the scarlet substance that fills this scarlet dimension, but a unique substance belonging to the Scarlet Eye that is highly contagious and threatening.

After they gathered to a certain extent on the surface of the Scarlet Eye's flesh and blood, they exploded into a cloud of blood mist like a blood bubble bursting, rushing towards Chen Ming's scavenger.

Each blood mist was not pure blood red, but was mixed with countless pale white substances.

These white substances were not special things, but the whites of tiny eyeballs.

In this scene that could drive a person with intensive phobia crazy at a glance, Chen Ming also suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

He also controlled Leviathan to release a large amount of phase matter to block, forming a layer of hot blue-purple fire net around him.

With a continuous supply of external resources, the scavenger's furnace can continue to burn for a long time.

But immediately, Chen Ming discovered that not all of these tiny eyeballs that formed the blood mist were directed at him. A considerable number of eyeballs' attacks bypassed him and rushed into the phase space.

Chen Ming was still wondering what these eyeballs were going to do.

When he blocked the gap in the space and left these eyeballs without the subsequent scarlet power support, they would enter the phase space and eventually be killed by the nature of the phase space itself, and could not make any waves at all.

Anyway, he had already closed the gap in the phase space leading to the normal universe. The people on the satellite had been sent away long before he sent the satellite into the phase space, and the animals and plants on it had been infected by scarlet.

What was the use of these eyeballs entering the phase space?

Chen Ming didn't know, but the more he had to do to eliminate the enemy, the less likely he would let him do it.

The scavenger simply took this opportunity to retreat, and rolled the blue-purple flames burning the materials of the phase beast into the inside and outside of the already opened space rift, burning the seemingly endless blood mist and the tiny eyeballs in the blood mist.

If a dimensional infection occurred on a certain planet, so many eyeballs were randomly scattered in all places that should have been normal, which would be a huge trouble for those who had to deal with them.

But at this time, these eyeballs that had no support at all could only wander around in space, allowing Chen Ming to easily eliminate them completely.

Although Chen Ming's scavenger's retreat allowed the scarlet eyes to seize the opportunity to move one step closer to the space rift.

But Chen Ming also took this opportunity to separate the outer ring structure of the scavenger, which was used to collect small celestial bodies in space.

Then he used the effect of psychic energy to make multiple transformations on this layer of structure that was already a mixture of flesh and blood and machinery.

On the entire ring structure, multiple miniaturized furnaces were built, each of which was burning the materials of the phase beast, and using this blue-purple flame to purify all the scarlet things that tried to pass through the gap.

Then another ring structure separated from the scavenger's body, and another circle of blue-purple fire rings appeared near the gap, temporarily blocking the space gap from another angle.

And on the scavenger's body, more and more transformations made by Chen Ming according to the current combat needs were also appearing.

As long as Chen Ming was given a little more time, he could block all the scarlet things back to the scarlet dimension purely by the loss of materials.

He was no longer the weak psychic who almost had a mental breakdown after being in contact with the scarlet for less than half a second.

He was now able to rely on the support of the power behind him to compete with the scarlet dimension.

At this moment,

The Scarlet Eye suddenly mobilized the power of the Scarlet Dimension flexibly.

Most of these powers were absorbed by itself and rapidly transformed into tiny eyeballs that continued to proliferate in the flesh and blood tissue behind its eyeballs.

The other part rushed to the two ring structures burning with blue and purple flames that Chen Ming had just thrown out.

The power of the flames on the ring structures instantly weakened under the suppression of Scarlet.

Even with the materials provided by Chen Ming to assist in burning, it could not compare with the home advantage of Scarlet.

The scavenger has a total of three layers of replacement structures for capturing asteroids.

Just when Chen Ming wanted to release the third ring of fire, the Scarlet Eye, which was not far away, suddenly hit him at a very fast speed and had a head-on physical reload with the scavenger.

The third ring of fire was directly smashed by the impact of the Scarlet Eye's flesh and could not be used again.

Although the burning ring of fire left a dead black scar on the white of the giant eyeball.

The flames gushing from the scavenger's core furnace turned the pupil of the giant eyeball from black and red to a deathly white.

But soon, countless broken and tiny eyeballs flowing with thick liquid were separated, and countless new eyeballs grew again on the wound.

The Scarlet Eye's condition has not deteriorated at all.

In this scarlet dimension that belongs to him, it is definitely not a wise choice to fight against scarlet creatures.

But Chen Ming's purpose is indeed not to fight against it.

Instead, find a way to repel it first, and then take the opportunity to seal the space rift.

Now it is giving the opportunity to avoid the appearance of the third ring of fire, then...

wrong.

Chen Ming suddenly discovered that the scarlet matter just now was not colliding with the ring structure he released just to break into the phase space.

They did not go further through the space rift, they entangled in the space rift, intertwined like newly grown flesh and blood.

As if weaving a web, he used flesh, muscle, and nerves to repair the gap in the space.

This is not just a disguised repair, but a real means to repair the space gap.

The Scarlet Eye is actively repairing the gap and closing the rift leading to the phase space.

This is what Chen Ming wants to do.

But when Scarlet Eyes did this, Chen Ming only felt his scalp numb.

Because it is here that the scarlet substance repairs

He could feel that his mental connection to the normal universe was getting weaker and weaker.

Chen Ming immediately understood what Scarlet wanted to do.

He did not dare to make any more unnecessary movements, and immediately controlled the scavengers to turn around and rush towards the space rift that had not been completely sealed.

However, before the scavenger could completely turn his head, the scarlet eyes struck the scavenger's body just like before.

It no longer only puts pressure on Chen Ming's mental strength with its pure gaze, but is really trying its best to block Chen Ming within the scarlet.

Three actions, three impacts, before the scavengers could even get close to the gap, the last crack was forcibly repaired by the Scarlet Dimension.

At this time, Chen Ming's connection with everything in the normal universe was almost severed.

Although it has not been completely disconnected, at this time, he is no longer able to contact everything he controls in the normal universe in the scarlet that is completely isolated from the normal universe.

His consciousness was sealed within the Crimson, and he could no longer take advantage of the convenience of his psychic powers.

The scavenger's blue-violet flames gradually extinguished.

Chen Ming can no longer easily send things from the normal universe to Scarlet.

Leviathan lost its fuel and became a pile of scrap metal and dead flesh. ,

Chen Ming's heart sank.

This is something that has never happened before.

Scarlet's goal has always been to invade, but now he is taking the initiative to cut off the invasion.

Such abnormal behavior... made him need to face the power of scarlet.

Scarlet is the ocean of psychic knowledge, capable of bringing about madness.

But this does not mean that all creatures living in Scarlet are only crazy creatures.

They must also have means of communication.

No matter who it is with...

Zuo Jing's brainwashed psyker really used all means to lead him into the pit one by one.

Every one of them is a pitfall that Chen Ming has never seen before, and every step is on a road that Chen Ming has no idea about.

He's in trouble.

at this time.

On the ship of the leader of negative matter... or the leader who was controlled by brainwashed psykers, leaving the Gaia galaxy.

The brainwashed psyker was holding the communicator and looking at the content on it.

Apparently they had communicated.

At this time, the brainwashed psychic asked on the communicator: "Do you have any opinions?"

"No, this matter only concerns you, we don't want to get involved."

The brainwashed psychic shook his head and said: "I really don't know why you are afraid of using this kind of power. If you fail, you will just die."

The Survivors did not answer the brainwashed psykers' reasons as to why they did not use the dimensional infection power.

But suddenly they answered his last question.

"The planet Gaia, where self-awareness exists, has a fairy tree on it. It is the most valuable planet in Chen Ming's hands. This is the best place for infection."

"Then this is it."

The brainwashed psyker said this and adjusted his own psychic powers.

In fact, no matter how the survivor answered, he already had the answer in his heart.

The words he said before really scared Chen Ming.

There are not that many opportunities to create dimensional infection, especially creating dimensional infection multiple times in front of a person who has experienced dimensional infection many times, this is simply an act of seeking death.

Even for brainwashed psykers.

If he really has the idea of ​​​​creating dimensional infections many times, Chen Ming will definitely track his location and be crushed to death.

He is indeed inferior to Chen Ming in terms of combat effectiveness.

But in terms of cunning and cunning, Chen Ming is not worthy of carrying his shoes.

So he knew that he only had one chance, and he had to use it in the most critical place.

Gaia planet.

There are not many people on the planet Gaia, but there are countless things full of value.

The brainwashed psyker held his forehead slightly, feeling the pain of tearing his consciousness, and nodded slightly.

This is the price he must pay for using his psychic powers.
