Chapter 357 The Supreme True God
"A scam, a campaign to control the masses."
Gotash saw through this so-called great blueprint. All illithids are powerful psychic masters, and their mastermind is more powerful and dangerous than any single illithid. With the uniqueness of the illithids, With their psychic physiological advantages, they can easily turn various races into slaves. This so-called great blueprint plan is just a more covert and dangerous deception.
Gotash saw through this. A simple great blueprint was indeed of no use to him, but the characteristics of the illithid described in this plan really made him have a great influence on this race. Interested, maybe...
A spark of inspiration flashed in Gotash's heart. While flipping through the plan book in his hand, he took out several books about illithids from the bookshelf next to him, including "On Illithids·Part 1". Volume 1 - Volume 4", "Manipulation and Confrontation of Psychic Powers", "How to Hunt down Illithids", "Those Disgusting Brain-Eating Bastards".
Almost every book states that the Mind Flayer Empire is a horrific fantasy that is totalitarian slavery.
The Elder Brain is the only apex, other illithids are just ordinary citizens, and all other creatures are slaves, and thus bear the responsibility of labor, experiments, hatching pools for new illithids, and food sources.
This characteristic is enough to make this race the enemy of all intelligent creatures. When the empire established by the illithids still existed countless thousands of years ago, all other species in that era lived under that unparalleled reign of terror. .
However, faced with these words that could arouse ordinary people's hatred for illithids, Gotash was not infected by those fonts at all. Instead, he read with relish. The immature plan popped up in his mind again, and Becoming more perfect in an instant.
"The illithid... is really a magical and perfect race. This absolute centralization reminds me of the devils in hell, but the mastermind of the illithid may have more powerful control over his subjects than the devil king." ”
"But this is by no means a weakness. In fact, it is a perfect characteristic. The monarch has absolute authority. This is exactly the creed taught by our Lord Bane! And more importantly, if there is any creature that can stand in the mastermind Above that, bringing the mastermind under control is equivalent to fully controlling an entire mind flayer society!"
Gotash's expression gradually became excited, and he thought about how to stabilize his current precarious alliance status, and even more than that, he could use this to gain higher interests.
With the power of the Crown of Karthus, he can slightly change this so-called great blueprint. If he can control a mastermind with the Crown of Karthus, he can directly launch a low-end version of the great blueprint plan!
"Once an illithid tadpole enters the brain of an intelligent creature, the tadpole's host will transform into a complete adult illithid in just seven days. And because of their racial characteristics, they are born with With the gift of psychic powers, a newly born adult illithid can kill more than a dozen well-trained soldiers in a head-on battle!"
This is an unparalleled advantage! If planned properly, Gotash can raise an extremely large army of illithids in a very short period of time! As long as he is given a little time to develop, he can completely control this army and directly capture Baldur's Gate!
"No, it can't be so rough. There are still many things that need to be improved in this plan. The first thing is to find a master brain. Only by gaining control of a master brain can this plan continue to develop."
"At the same time, even if the prerequisites are met, it is still unknown how many illithids a master brain can control, but I estimate that the number should not be too many. If the master brain controls the illithids without paying extra cost or energy, then this kind of The monsters have probably already successfully restored their so-called great empire."
"And the most critical point is that even if the two previous problems are solved, how should I, Xie Nian and Catheric Som allocate this relationship when there is only one crown and one mastermind? The authority to control a large army?”
That's an entire club of mind flayers! Out of the desire for power, it is estimated that no one among the three of them will easily give up control of that powerful legion. Although each of them has a gem that can control the mastermind, their individual strength is the weakest. The steel they invented The guards were not successfully put into the production line, and with only the Bann cultists under his command, he would never be able to gain much power.
"You still need to plan carefully. I don't want to experience the kind of oolong incident that happened before. This plan is indeed very valuable. Whether it is evil thoughts or Keswick, they will definitely be interested. In this case... "
Having said this, Gotash nodded silently. This own-goal incident did bring him severe psychological pressure, but fortunately, he finally found a way to deal with it.
Just as he said, Gotash immediately sent information about this plan to Evil Thought and Catherick through magical means.
The evil thoughts that were hunting did not respond to him immediately, but Katherine responded uncharacteristically quickly, which surprised Gotash, but soon he was no longer just surprised, but pleasantly surprised! Gotash was pleasantly surprised!
Kesric Thom actually said that there is a community of mind flayers under the Tower of Moonrise, which is the base camp he is currently occupying. This community was something he just discovered recently. The undead under his command also reported that there seemed to be a mastermind beneath the tower!
"What's going on? Is this a lucky break for me? From the beginning my plans always went wrong to now I just have my dreams come true. Isn't there a big gap? Is Ben protecting me? Otherwise I How could you have such a dream?"
Gotash pinched himself, which made him sure that he was definitely not dreaming.
"This is really outrageous. The plan has not been fully thought out, but the main target is delivered directly to the door. It is a bit bizarre that this kind of thing happens one after another, but it has already happened, so there is no point in continuing to complain. Take action and improve slowly.”
Gotash shook his head. Although these ideas had just been born, he instinctively felt that this plan must be promising. Next, he only needed to bring the crown to the head of the mastermind, and his low-end version of the great blueprint plan would be ready. It can develop smoothly.
"By the way, before we fully implement the plan, it is better to get some living illithids as experimental subjects. After all, the Crown of Karthus was made by humans. Although it is a sacred artifact, even its original function has such a big flaw. , it is no longer possible to fully control those mind flayers or masterminds that are obviously aberrations.”
"There are also tadpoles. This kind of illithid larvae also has great research value. The illithid lich called Blue Vertex said that powerful magic may delay the development of tadpoles. If this is true, then I can completely launch an unprecedented scam with the help of the King of Karsus!”
"This will be a perfect plan that affects the people of the entire Northland, and will eventually radiate to the entire continent of Faerûn! I will create a god! A new god! And the control over Him will eventually fall to me. With one hand! This god will become: [Supreme God]!"
While thinking like this, Gotash immediately started taking the next step.
At the same time, Nohir in hell finally returned to the holy city of Eltoril, and has begun preparations to bring the city back to the main material plane.
