Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 434 Madness

The last time Chen Ming entered the Scarlet, he was forced to leave the damaged scavenger robot in the Scarlet for various reasons.

He tried to find it later, but he really couldn't find it.

He originally thought that the scavenger had disappeared in the dimension due to the characteristics of the dimension, but he didn't expect that it was taken away by the brainwashed psychic.

The scavenger left in the Scarlet dimension has now been washed away by the scarlet material and Chen Ming's control effect has been washed away.

If it weren't for those familiar mechanical structures, Chen Ming couldn't even tell that this was his scavenger.

"This thing is not a threat to me, you should know."

Chen Ming's indifference after the accident was expected by the brainwashed psychic. He said: "Of course I know it is not a threat to you. Its value is more just to lock you."

"You must have lost control of this thing, but there is still a connection between it and you."

Chen Ming could guess why the brainwashed psychic knew that there was no connection between him and the scavenger.

When the brainwashed psychic was not stopped from fusing the remains of the scavenger robot and the scarlet eye, two similar looking things, together, it was enough to prove that Chen Ming really had no control over it.

But Chen Ming did not expect that the scavenger robot could actually locate his position in reverse.

This should not be a problem of psychic power, but a problem of scarlet power.

Chen Ming's psychic power does not have psychic fluctuations when controlling anything.

But the influence of scarlet power on these things is obviously different.

Chen Ming had opened a scavenger in the scarlet dimension before, and also used the scarlet power to influence the scavenger to a certain extent, which of course would cause this scarlet power to remain on it.

Naturally, it would be tracked by the brainwashed psychic.

This is a two-way situation.

If Chen Ming could find a way to find something related to the brainwashed psychic, he could also use it to track it back.

Unfortunately, he did not.

When the brainwashed psychic left his body and transformed into a pure consciousness, the back of his body was shattered by the aftermath of psychic power when Chen Ming fought with the nanorobots of the survivors.

Otherwise, Chen Ming would have taken the opportunity to chase him, so how could he have given the brainwashed psychic the opportunity to stand here and speak today.

Chen Ming did not comment on the brainwashed psychic's words and asked, "Just lock me?"

"More than that, it has two functions."

The brainwashed psychic stretched out two fingers full of brain patterns towards Chen Ming, which made Chen Ming feel sick.

"One is to lock you and use force to keep you on the planet, like this."

As the voice fell, the surface of the brainwashed psychic's consciousness suddenly formed an extremely close connection with the surrounding scarlet power.

A large amount of scarlet power swept towards Chen Ming.

These scarlet powers did not bring a sense of danger to Chen Ming, but when they completely filled Chen Ming's side.

Chen Ming found that his scarlet power was stuck to the spot by this scarlet power.

It is impossible to leave here unaffected in a short time.

This is the effect achieved by utilizing the characteristics that all scarlet powers come from the scarlet dimension.

The brainwashed psychic assimilates his own power with the power of the scarlet dimension, and actively involves this power with Chen Ming's power, and actively sacrifices his own scarlet power to Chen Ming.

In essence, it is equivalent to sharing the scarlet power with Chen Ming, and using this shared power to restrict Chen Ming to the scarlet dimension.

This is a more effective way to block Chen Ming's whereabouts than closing the rift between the normal universe and the scarlet dimension.

"Interesting."

The brainwashed psychic in the distance was not surprised to see that Chen Ming did not dodge at all and was left there.

He did not use offensive means, and the purpose of Chen Ming coming here was to kill him.

Before he died, Chen Ming would never leave.

"In fact, my power level is the same as yours."

"The strength of your scarlet power comes from your understanding of scarlet, and the strength of my scarlet power... comes from my long time with scarlet."

"You have mastered many more powerful powers besides scarlet, so you are not as good as me in the development of scarlet power."

"In scarlet, as long as I am willing to pay the price, even you can't escape easily."

After being blocked by the brainwashed psychic, Chen Ming really couldn't leave easily.

Not only because of the restrictions of the scarlet dimension, but also because this method is almost a cost of life.

The brainwashed psychic always actively offers his own power, rather than converting the power for his own use.

Doing so can indeed control more power belonging to the scarlet dimension in a short period of time while the mark belonging to him on the released power has not dissipated, causing trouble to the enemy.

But once this method is used too much, the lost power will not come back by itself, and it will eventually endanger itself.

At this time, Chen Ming can already see that the consciousness of the brainwashed psychic is becoming weaker.

And the reason for this is just to force him to stay in place.

No wonder the brainwashed psychic said he would die today.

He was actively tearing himself apart, letting everything in his consciousness pave the way for this power.

And what he just said was his last words.

Even a madman like him would find it difficult to die alone and silently when facing death. He had to say something he wanted to say before he died.

Then, find a way to pull someone to walk to the underworld together.

But if it was just this, it would not be enough.

It was not enough to let Chen Ming go with him.

Chen Ming raised his left hand, and another blue giant hand pressed down in the air.

The brainwashed psychic dodged again. Although he was obviously weaker, his reaction had not disappeared.

While the brainwashed psychic was dodging, Chen Ming asked, "Then what? Don't tell me it's just this."

"Of course there are others..."

The voice of the brainwashed psychic's consciousness became a little unclear, and it seemed that there was a risk of dissipating at any time.

But Chen Ming knew that he would not die before he finished what he should do.

As the brainwashed psychic finished speaking.

The scarlet power of the scarlet mechanical eye floating behind him was mobilized, and the mechanical eye that originally exuded the absolute aura of the scarlet eye suddenly exuded a power similar to Chen Ming.

Its violently fused half-mechanical and half-biological structure suddenly began to further merge deeply, as if Chen Ming's psychic power was really acting on it.

And the consciousness of the brainwashed psychic was connected with the scarlet mechanical eye at this moment.

Chen Ming immediately understood where the scarlet brain that had been the brainwashed psychic's mount in the scarlet dimension had gone.

At the same time, he also understood what the brainwashed psychic was going to do.

No wonder he wanted to use himself as bait to infect this planet in the normal universe with scarlet, and even let the scarlet dimension completely invade here and see that this place was completely assimilated.

He wanted to make this place a part of the scarlet dimension, so that it would have some characteristics of the scarlet dimension.

He wanted to... create a situation where two similar scarlet creatures were fighting.

Just like the last time, the fight between Chen Ming and the scarlet heart.

"Too weak."

Chen Ming felt that the brainwashed psychic's idea was good, but the actual effect was not very good.

"Even so, you can't beat me in scarlet power."

"You are just a half-human, half-scarlet monster after all, and I am the one who truly controls the power of scarlet."

"Yes."

The brainwashed psychic agreed with Chen Ming's words, but he said, "But I ask you a question, do you dare to let your scarlet mechanical heart come over?"

"Can you, let your scarlet mechanical heart come over?"

Chen Ming turned his head and looked around.

This is now a space that was completely infected by scarlet and originally belonged to the normal universe.

This space is still separated from other places in the normal universe, because Chen Ming took the initiative to block this area when he first came here.

After being completely infected by scarlet here, he maintained a fragile balance, so that scarlet would not escape his control.

If the scarlet mechanical heart in the scarlet dimension wants to come over, it will definitely squeeze this small area of ​​scarlet infected space that is not very wide around the planet.

The scarlet will spread completely.

"No wonder..."

The current situation makes it impossible for the scarlet mechanical heart controlled by Chen Ming to directly confront the scarlet mechanical eye controlled by the brainwashed psychic.

He can only mobilize the power of the heart to a certain extent, and cannot use all of it completely.

But the brainwashed psychic is different.

When two scarlet creatures of the same type with a large difference in power fight, the scarlet dimension will give extra care to the weaker one.

When Chen Ming fought with the scarlet heart before, the scarlet dimension gave Chen Ming extra power.

And now...

The scarlet power of the brainwashed psychic has become very obvious.

The power that was just lost even has signs of returning.

The voice of the brainwashed psychic has become much clearer: "I know that these are not enough to defeat you. Your growth and your strength are truly unprecedented to me."

"So I have prepared something for you."

The brainwashed psychic suddenly inserted the limbs of his consciousness, which were probably hands, into his torso and moved a few times, and took out a ball of black matter.

"You know best what this thing is."

"Fragments of the nightmare of the plane."

"That's right."

"I have controlled many people before. Although I may not be able to remember all the memories of those controlled by me, I will always have some impressions."

"Only the memories of some people I pay special attention to, I will remember them completely."

"For example, I know all the memories of the leader of your negative matter research team."

"So I know how to use negative matter, and I also know what use this thing will have in the scarlet dimension."

Chen Ming stared at the brainwashing psychic in silence, not knowing what to say.

This ability of the brainwashing psychic is really powerful.

Ignoring the effect of psychic power itself, even if it is just to extract the memory of others by controlling others, filtering out the memories related to other people and things, leaving only the memories related to knowledge, this effect...

However, the brainwashing psychic used this power for this kind of thing.

Chen Ming did not say what he wanted to say in his heart, he just said: "So you want to repeat what you did before."

The brainwashed psychic admitted Chen Ming's statement and said, "You escaped with the phase space last time. Can you escape again this time?"

He directly stuffed the fragments of the body of the nightmare of the plane into the flesh and blood underground.

He wanted to use negative matter to infect the entire planet, so that the properties of negative matter would transform the entire planet into a black hole.

The black hole that appeared in the scarlet dimension would be transformed into a special "red hole".

No one knew where the red hole would lead to.

"Scarlet can't help me, and those survivors can't help me, but the mechanical race can. This is the first time I've discovered that the mechanical race actually has such a strong ability."

"You are the biggest threat to the mechanical race in the current empire. Just accompany me and leave only death in the world."

Chen Ming suddenly questioned: "The mechanical race only has extreme hatred for humans. You know it?"

"Of course I know, but they will also clean up the scarlet. The scarlet will kill all creatures except the mechanical race, and the mechanical race will kill the scarlet. That's enough."

The brainwashed psychic knew that if he wanted to make what he expected happen, he only needed to get rid of Chen Ming, who was the biggest threat to the mechanical race.

He used himself as bait, the scavengers left by Chen Ming as anchors, and the fragments of the body of the nightmare of the plane obtained from Chen Ming as keys to open the red hole.

He would never let Chen Ming escape from the gravitational range of the red hole. He would realize his idea at the cost of his own life.

"The mechanical race has long evolved intelligence similar to Yuhui. They are also life, but they have a different life form from us humans."

"The nightmare of the plane that exists in the black hole dimension is also a special creature, and even the survivors have not died out to this day."

"You said that this will exterminate all life, but you don't even look at those lives."

"You have been crazy for a long time. What you said from beginning to end is just the fantasy of a madman. You are nothing."

The brainwashed psychic did not respond. Perhaps he himself knew that what he did was to satisfy his crazy ideas.

Or perhaps, he has really indulged in madness.

For Chen Ming, although he successfully blocked the brainwashed psychic last time, he couldn't do it this time.

The crack that blocked the overflow of scarlet power has become Chen Ming's shackles to limit negative matter.

He must make a choice,

either tear the space, open the crack leading to the phase space and push the planet in again.

At the same time, the scarlet was released. He would need to spend a lot of energy to wipe out all the scattered scarlet in different corners of the normal universe.

Now it is not too far away from the empire. If the scarlet expands and he fails to deal with it in time, the impact will be extremely terrifying.

Or he will choose to bear the gravity of the red hole until the brainwashed psychic dies.

He will leave the space infected by the scarlet again, tear the space from a wider dimension, and divide a larger independent area to deal with the infection of the scarlet and the existence of the red hole.

Chen Ming knew what he should choose.

He chose to continue to strengthen the scarlet rift he controlled.

Let the scarlet mechanical heart completely block the outside of the rift.

He will personally face the brainwashed psychic's dying struggle.
