Crow's Paradise

Yaoyan's goal was very clear.

He did not plan to directly eliminate the demons on a large scale to save the defeated rebel army.

No, it should be said that he had no intention of saving the rebels.

What he needs is for the demon city to be wiped out along with the rebels.

His goal is to equalize the strength of both sides and strangle each other as much as possible.

Therefore, he only needs to deal with the Demon Queen.

The Demon Queen can cause penetrating damage to the rebels. With the Demon Queen's presence, the rebels' losses will be devastating.

With them here, the demon city will crush the rebels with a crushing advantage.

And without them, Demon City would still have an advantage in annihilating the rebels, but it would not be a crushing one, and there would be relatively large losses.

But after he took action, to be precise, the moment he left his "mark", the situation was no longer under his control.

The scale of promotion effect is the third characteristic displayed by the core ability [rumor].

This characteristic should be related to the spread of rumors.

Targets affected by his ability will automatically have a "mark" on them unless he deliberately suppresses them.

The destructive effect and influence of this mark are very strong. Over the past few decades, he has been suppressing the production of the mark when using his ability.

The method of suppression is actually very simple.

Although it is said to be generated automatically, it itself requires the power of Yao Yan as a medium.

Only objects that are directly affected by his ability will leave a mark.

As a use case, it can be represented by a pile of sand. Use sand to attack a person. If there is sand left on the target, the "mark" will be transmitted to the person through the sand.

If he had suppressed it in the first place and not let it spread to another person, it wouldn't have spread.

but now.

It has spread.

However, this is not a simple matter.

All his actions that actively consume mental power and use abilities will cause this characteristic effect that can be described as a "curse" to spread.

When performing these actions, you need to actively suppress this feature from taking effect.

In order to understand the world view, he has been suppressing it for a long time.

Quite tiring.

But now, there is no need to suppress it.

Whether it is a demon or other creature, it spreads as soon as it is spread. If there are no accidents, he no longer needs these chess pieces.

The moment his thoughts fell, in Yao Yan's field of vision, dense eye-like shadow outlines appeared in the bite wounds left by the black and white strange crow on the queen's body.

And these eyes are constantly expanding.

In contrast, the eyes of the Demon Queen were covered with a layer of darkness, as if they had become empty.

Her spirit has been eroded by the rumor's characteristic ability.

However, it did not explode.

Yao Yan was also very clear about this.

The ability of this characteristic, these "marks", will actively absorb the host's spiritual power and "grow".

But they must grow to a certain extent before they reach their limit.

To be precise, it is like a water balloon. It needs to be inflated enough before it explodes.

But it can also be done through active puncture.

The rebel demon possessed by Yao Yan rushed forward, directly grabbed the demon queen, and headed towards the other demon queens who were hunting the demon rebels at high speed.

Seeing this "corpse" flying towards her, the carapace on the limbs of the other Demon Queen, who bore the brunt of the attack, spread out and converged on her arms, forming sharp lance-like horns.

The moment the carapace lance formed, she swung it out violently.

However, contrary to his judgment, the "companion" that had been penetrated into the body was not a corpse.

The moment she was penetrated, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the Demon Queen.

And from where her body was penetrated, a large number of blurry shadows emerged——

Snapped!

In a silent explosion, the eyeball-like shadow exploded and splashed on the body of the Demon Queen.

Although the Demon Queen tried to resist with her carapace, the shadow had already clung to her body.

A strong sense of fatigue emerged, and the wings that were constantly flapping behind her even stopped at this moment, causing her body to fall directly to the ground.

boom! ! !

"The characteristics are basically clear."

Yao Yan looked at this scene without any emotion.

First, when he actively uses his ability and consumes his energy, this characteristic ability will be automatically activated and spread through his spiritual power.

However, the target of this characteristic ability is limited to those who have self-awareness and can carry out thinking activities.

Second, the "mark" formed by this characteristic ability needs to absorb enough spiritual power before it will explode automatically, but before that, it can be triggered by external attacks, or it can be detonated on its own initiative.

Third, when the mark formed by the characteristic ability erodes and absorbs the host's mental power, due to its own mental spontaneous resistance and elimination of external invasion, the host's thinking will slow down or even temporarily lose the ability to think. However, after the absorption is completed, the host will Their ability to think has been restored, but compared to before, they will spontaneously chase "rumors" and use and spread them in various ways.

This was something he had confirmed before.

Fourth, shortcomings are also the most important.

After these spirits have been polluted and eroded by rumors, due to the disunity between the body and consciousness, the recovery speed of the spirit will be greatly reduced or even close to zero. This will also cause their own spiritual power to continue to deteriorate during their conscious activities. Decrease and eventually die.

In other words, if the host corrupted by his power is locked up somewhere and not allowed to come into contact with other people, then the problem can be solved.

It is also called isolation.

These characteristics are very consistent with the characteristics of rumors.

Rumors need a host, an object that can actively or passively spread to the outside world.

Either one person takes the initiative to spread certain information to others, or the information is recorded on some carrier, read by others, and then continues to spread.

This characteristic obtained at the effect level only corresponds to "active".

It cannot be recorded and retained in things that are incapable of thinking.

This is a major drawback of this feature's capabilities.

Yao Yan thought about and recorded the advantages and disadvantages of his own ability, thinking about how to maximize the use of this ability and how to avoid the shortcomings.

While he was thinking quietly, below, the eye-shaped shadows that were constantly absorbing the spirit of the host and spreading were already darkening a large area of ​​the battlefield.

The purgatory-like scene formed a sharp contrast with his dynamics.
