The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

  Chapter 13 Subspace Creatures

  Damn, it’s hard, I couldn’t sleep last night

   Li Qing's frigate was immediately affected by the interception force field and the interference force field, but it did not affect his retreat.

  The function of the shaking interception force is to intercept the target and cannot use the hyperspace engine to jump away, and the function of the interference force field is to set up a force field to prevent other people from jumping into this area. Neither of them has the function of slowing down.

  Only the entanglement stagnation beam has the deceleration function, but it didn't use it on him.

  At this time, Xia Qi and the others also came to their senses, and turned around and retreated as quickly as he did.

  The leader of Burning Ghost Squadron in the distance, Li Yuan, just sneered at this, ignored it, and directed his men to capture the chaotic light ball with all his concentration.

Under the control of the three tractor beams, the chaotic ball of light was firmly fixed in the void and vibrated violently, as if feeling threatened, the ferocious ghosts inside were biting more intensely, and the naked eyes could see that each ferocious ghost was torn apart and devoured .

  The number of evil spirits decreased rapidly, but those who survived were getting stronger and stronger. Even if he was prepared, Li Yuan could still feel the stronger and stronger mental impact.

  But instead of worrying, he looked at the ball of light that gradually changed from chaos to clarity with a look of fanaticism, and muttered to himself:

   "Let's tear it up, devour it, hundreds of thousands of souls affected by the subspace will merge into one, and a psionic life form will surely be born."

   "Om!"

  Another strong psychic energy blast exploded, and all the warships were shocked and stopped just like that.

   Li Yuan's face changed slightly. At this moment, a robot suspended in mid-air behind him flashed red eyes, and a mechanical voice sounded:

   "Warning, it is detected that the battleship is affected by spiritual impact, and the electronic transmission of the stern part of the ship is faulty. Please ask the logistics supervisor to prepare for maintenance."

   "Warning, it is detected that the strength of the fourth psychic impact has reached the critical point of the psychic storm, and it is expected that the next impact will increase to the intensity of the quasi-psychic storm. Commanders, please avoid it!"

   "Warning, it is predicted that the intensity of the fifth psychic impact will reach the quasi-spiritual storm level. At that time, all automatic facilities of the fleet will be temporarily interrupted. The expected duration is 60 seconds. Commanders, please avoid it!"

  Three warnings in a row caused Li Yuan's face to change slightly, his eyes flickered, his thoughts turned quickly, and he quickly made a decision:

   "I order that all warships switch to manual combat systems and activate the overload mode before the next round of psionic storms."

   "Your Excellency Commander, the overload mode can only last for one round at most. According to the calculation of the impact strength of the spiritual energy, the impact intensity of the spiritual energy will officially enter the level of the spiritual storm in the sixth round."

   "Enough is enough, do as I command."

   "Obey, Commander!"

   The red light of the robot's electronic eyes flashes.

   Li Yuan clenched his fists with both hands. On the surface, he looked expressionless and unconcerned, but in fact he was a little nervous.

   "Om!"

The fifth round of psychic impact swept across, the huge battleship shook violently, the surface shield rippled like water waves, and a real spatial fluctuation swept under his nose, countless lights inside the battleship turned red, each There are a lot of warning sounds.

  But after activating the overload mode, the impact resistance of most of the battleship's equipment has been greatly enhanced, and it forcibly took the blow.

  At this time, the captain robot of the cruiser came over again to warn, he reached out and stopped, his eyes were fixed on the ball of light that had already decided the winner, and a smile appeared on his face:

   "It's over, there won't be a sixth round of psionic storms."

  The ball of light has changed from the previous chaos to the current clear and transparent. It can be clearly seen that the countless hideous faces mixed inside have disappeared, and there is only one soul hanging in the clear light ball as if in a deep sleep.

   "Psychic life forms, after fusion, can forcibly awaken psionic energy and become a psionic person!"

  Li Yuan recalled that in order to do this, he deliberately built a large base, spent tens of billions to move hundreds of thousands of people, and then attracted the evil of the subspace to descend, and quickly closed the cracks in the subspace after a trace of the evil's power descended.

  Hundreds of thousands of human souls are polluted and alienated by the power of evil things, killing each other and devouring each other. In the end, the strongest soul swallows all souls, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes into spiritual life forms.

   To build a base capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of people, and to move hundreds of thousands of people, it took more than 40 billion star dollars, and almost all of the net worth was invested in it.

  Finally close to success.

   Li Yuan was very excited, and quickly ordered the tractor beam to pull the ball of light, he could hardly wait.

The three industrial ships worked together, and the ball of light quickly approached the cruiser. The cruiser opened a hole, and the ball of light was thrown into it. Li Yuan, who had been waiting in front of the deck early, took out a prismatic crystal the size of an egg. The crystal immediately emitted a powerful force when it touched the ball of light. Attraction, like a dragon absorbing water, swallows up Qingguang.

  The human-shaped soul body in the light sphere also quickly twisted and deformed and threw it towards the prismatic crystal, which was about to be swallowed.

  At this moment, the soul body suddenly opened its eyes, and the blood flames in the pupils spurted out and roared:

   "Don't even think about it!"

  The soul exploded with a bang, and a violent psionic energy rushed towards Li Yuan, but was blocked by a layer of light armor emerging from his body, and he said in a cold voice with no expression on his face:

   "I knew you would not be reconciled, I was already prepared!"

  Another prismatic crystal appeared in the right hand at some point, crushed it, and suddenly a naked man who couldn't see his face appeared, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the collapsed spiritual energy was firmly restrained by a powerful force.

   "You can't run away, just do it obediently. This."

The face of the reunited soul body was no longer what it was just now, but another face full of evil feelings and a strange smile on it, Li Yuan suddenly felt bad, and subconsciously wanted to do something, At this moment, he couldn't feel his own existence, and at the same time, the evil face said:

   "I have seen countless butchers, but there are very few who can kill hundreds of thousands of the same kind without changing their faces. This seat admires you very much, come with me!"

  Then, Li Yuan could feel his own existence again, and the first reaction was to communicate with the robot captain under him.

  However, this evil face seemed to be aware of his thoughts, shook his head and said:

   "You can't do this, since you are not interested, I never force people."

  He raised his head and looked in a certain direction, the corner of his mouth curled up:

   "Well, let me see, there are two more interesting like you."

   Li Yuan seemed to have noticed something, with a trace of fear in his eyes, he shouted:

   "I agree, I agree."

"late!"

The next second the body armor collapsed, and countless red and black streamers penetrated into his body, the light in Li Yuan's eyes quickly dimmed and turned gray, and soon his whole body turned into ashes and collapsed, a stream of red and black streamers emerged from the collapsed dust It rises and disappears in a flash.

   "Your soul was devoured by an unknown evil in the subspace. It takes 50 years of life to recast the body and soul, and the remaining life is 6 years."

  As soon as Li Yuan died, the unknown subspace evil disappeared, and Li Qing immediately felt the chaos on the side of the Burning Ghost Fleet. At this time, Xia Qi's voice also came from the channel:

   "There seems to be some confusion on their side, we"

  The conversation stopped suddenly, everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all sent messages to Xia Qi, except Li Qing.

Because, originally he was going to send a communication to inquire, but before he took any action, he saw countless black and red lights gathering in front of the bridge, condensing into an invisible human figure, staring at him with interest, saying A sentence shocked both him and Xia Qi:

"Human, I can feel the huge spiritual potential in you. Now I only need a little power to successfully awaken the spiritual power, but there is a saying in your human civilization that there is no free lunch in the world. You only need to pay now. For a negligible price, one can become a powerful psyker."

  Xia Qi didn't speak, but looked vigilantly at this unknown life form that somehow appeared in his battleship.

   And this unknown life form seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said in a voice full of temptation:

"Maybe I should introduce myself first. I come from the Void Realm. In the words of you humans, it is the spiritual world. Maybe we are evil in the eyes of humans, but we don't think it ourselves. What we like most is trading. needed, not taken by force.”

   "If you know us, you should know that we have never forced you, and it is the same now. If you don't want to, I can leave now."

"But before I leave, I have a small suggestion. You may not know it yourself. You have a psionic talent, and you are only one step away from awakening psionic abilities. Under normal circumstances, it may take you decades to awaken, or maybe your entire life." It cannot be awakened, but as long as you make a small deal with me and pay a negligible price that will never threaten your life, you can immediately awaken your psionic energy and become a powerful psionic user."

  He looked not in a hurry, raised his left wrist as if looking at the time, raised his right hand and stretched out his orchid fingers and said:

   "You have fifteen seconds to think about it. If you haven't made a decision after fifteen seconds, I will acquiesce that you have given up this opportunity to change your destiny."

"fifteen."

"fourteen."

  Compared to Xia Qi's frowning and hesitation, Li Qing's expression is much more normal than Xia Qi's frowning and hesitation. He even looked curiously at this unknown life form that claimed to be from the Psychic World.

  He knows about the Psychic Realm, it is simply famous, it is a powerful foreign world located in the subspace opposite to the main material universe, and it is also the place that all psychic users most desire to enter.

   There are countless powerful psychic creatures living there, the most famous of which are the four evil gods of chaos, also known as the four peddlers, which are:

  Whispers of the Void.

  The evil spirit of the world.

  A device of longing.

  The thread of life.

  But this is just what they used to be called. They have different names in different eras and different civilizations.

   God of courage and strength.

  God of knowledge and wisdom.

   God of life and prosperity.

   God of art and beauty.

  Of course, this unknown life form is definitely not any of the four super powerful Chaos Gods, because those four existences never conceal their existence, and other existences in the spiritual energy world dare not pretend to be them, so it must not be.

  But no matter who it is, as long as it comes from the spirit world, it must be a very powerful existence, and what he said is extremely feasible.

  If you say it can help you activate your spiritual power, then it will definitely help you activate your spiritual power.

   But how to open it and what price to pay is hard to say.

  To be honest, Li Qing is not interested.

   It's not that he is not interested in psionic power, on the contrary, he is very interested in awakening psionic power.

  The three common ascensions in Xinghai are psionic ascension, genetic ascension, and mechanical ascension. The strongest of them is psionic ascension, which is a level stronger than genetic ascension and mechanical ascension.

  But the corresponding psionic ascension is also more difficult. It is difficult for most people to awaken psionics by themselves.

   Once the psychic energy can be successfully awakened, one can obtain the power of psychic energy that interferes with matter, as well as a powerful skill that only psychics can obtain.

  The reason why he is not interested in such a big benefit is mainly because he is afraid that he will not be able to pay the price.

  The favorite thing of lifeforms in the psionic world is the soul. The most common price is to take away your soul after you die. If you are greedy, you will provide more souls.

   To put it bluntly, it is to let you go around to make troubles.

Just imagine, as long as you sign the contract, you will be required to kill a group of people every once in a while, and each time you need to kill more people than the last time, even if you only kill one at the beginning, gradually accumulate to a certain point, and you need to kill more people. There will be more and more souls provided, until you are overwhelmed and cannot afford them, and then you will need your own souls to fill them.

  Elite education from military lords, the teacher reminded them more than once before, not to have any transactions with any existence in the subspace, it is impossible for ordinary players to play against them.

   They are all monsters that have lived for tens of thousands of years, and they are absolutely impossible to be their opponents.

but

  Li Qing was very interested.

  Of course it’s not looking for death, but, from the faint induction from the universe in the palm, the awakening of psionic energy is very important for repairing the universe in the palm.

  So although he knew that it was very dangerous to do business with creatures in the subspace, but considering that this was a subtle induction from the universe in his palm, he decided to take a risk.

   Then he opened his mouth and said:

   "Can you tell me first, what price do I need to pay?"

   Can clearly feel the joy of this subspace creature, he said:

   "It's very simple. Within one year after I awaken the psychic power for you, provide me with 100 intelligent souls. There is no need for clones and biochemical humans. Humans and other intelligent races are fine."

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

  The subspace creature clasped its hands together and looked confidently at the boy in front of him.

   After a little silence, the hesitation on Xia Qi's face finally ended. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:

   "I am willing to sign a contract with you!"

   "Very well, you will soon know that this is a very wise decision, which will allow you to quickly surpass your peers and become the best in the group!"

   "So, how to awaken?"

   "Accept my power!"

Two identical subspace creatures stretched out their fingers at the same time, and tapped between Li Qing and Xia Qi's foreheads. Suddenly, the light burst into flames. The subspace creatures exploded and turned into a wave of psionic energy, submerging them, and quickly turned into a ball like a tide. The ball of light kept surging, and the stream of spiritual energy turned into countless tiny filaments of light and penetrated into their bodies.
