Mysterious city

Under this premise, the results are often very tragic.

Because the strength does not want to match the level of the absorbed magic core, it means that the absorber itself cannot control that level of powerful power.

If you forcefully absorb the magic core power that you cannot control in this way, you will only end up with a tragic end of suffering backlash.

This is not difficult to understand. Just imagine that in a person's mental power, the desire that represents justice is far from the negative desire that represents evil. The righteous one will definitely be swallowed up by the evil one.

And if this situation materializes into the real world, Constantine will become demonized due to absorbing the core of a monster that far exceeds his own strength.

After all, taking shortcuts in order to quickly improve one's abilities, no matter what the reason is, this crooked way is an evil desire in itself!

In the long history of Constantine's battles with monsters, there are many tragic examples of Constantine's warriors being transformed into their opposite - monsters due to the above reasons.

Just like the legend of a heroic dragon-slaying warrior being assimilated by an evil dragon after being stained with its blood.

The dragon slayer finally becomes the evil dragon!

This is a situation that only occurs if Constantine's strength is not as strong as the monster he absorbed the magic core.

There is another possibility, that is, even if Constantine is similar in strength to the monster, if he rashly absorbs the magic core, he may become a demon.

This is because everyone has their own weaknesses, even Constantine, who is so brave and selfless that he is willing to give his life to protect the human world, is no exception.

For example, a veteran cadre who looks very serious and upright on weekdays must have his own evil thoughts in his heart. After all, no one can be perfect and have no desires or desires.

This may not be evident in daily life. For example, veteran cadres have very strong willpower and self-control.

Even if a veteran cadre can hide the evil thoughts in his heart from others because of his superhuman perseverance, there will always be times when they are exposed.

For example, after being drunk, a person's self-control and willpower will drop to the extreme, and flaws, evil thoughts, negative emotions, etc. that are usually hidden will be exposed.

You will be surprised to find that the veteran cadres who are usually rigid and in their prime also have negative emotions such as lust and greed in their hearts. They just keep it on display until they lose the ability to control themselves. Just come out!

So Constantine is no exception. Even the most determined warrior will have his own unique evil thoughts.

And if the reason for the demonization of the monster itself happens to be the same as the desire hidden in Constantine's heart, then when absorbing the demonic core of the monster, Constantine will be eroded by the same demonic intention as the negative desires in his heart, and there is no guarantee that he will not be able to survive. Will be assimilated by it and become a monster.

This kind of example is also not uncommon. In the long history of the past, there have even been tragic stories of the highly respected and powerful Constantine becoming a demon because he absorbed the same magic core of negative desires in his heart.

While adding a strong tragic color to the hero's fall, it also constantly warns his descendants that when absorbing monster cores, they must not take it lightly, otherwise they will repeat the tragedy of their predecessors. Same mistake!

This extremely extreme example has even caused a great psychological shadow to many Constantines, causing them to greatly improve themselves by absorbing the monster's magic core after killing the monster. With strong strength, they will also worry about being assimilated by them and choose to give up.

These Constantines are also worthy of respect, because they can restrain their desire to improve their combat effectiveness, give up this quick and effective "shortcut", and instead increase their strength simply by exercising their physical bodies and improving their mental strength.

Of course, Jiang Zhe has great respect for his colleagues who have ridiculously strong self-control and are extremely selfless, but he is not a rigid and pedantic person who doesn't know how to adapt.

Most of the time, Jiang Zhe will still choose to absorb the magic core of monsters. After all, this kind of good thing that can quickly improve his strength should not be wasted. He should absorb it selectively, as long as it does not cause obvious negative effects.

Moreover, the level of strength cannot be circumvented in the matter of fighting a monster to the death.

Without stronger strength, not only would it be inefficient when killing monsters and maintaining the safety of the human world, but one might even lose one's life if one were not careful.

But now he was very aware of his physical condition. At this moment, Jiang Zhe had reached the lowest point both physically and mentally.

If he absorbs the demon core without hesitation at this moment, it will certainly make his body feel better, but there is no guarantee that he will become a demon in such a situation where his mental power is extremely weak!

Seeing the ugly appearance of the "Magic Mountain" after its demonization, as well as the stinking liquid it turned into after death, Jiang Zhe didn't want to become that bad himself.

Of course, this was only one of the reasons for Jiang Zhe's hesitation.

The second reason is even more fatal to Jiang Zhe - at least from a psychological perspective.

That is, when Constantine absorbs the magic core left behind by the monster after its death, he will briefly be connected to its "spiritual memory".

In other words, if Jiang Zhe absorbs the magic core of the "Magic Mountain", he will review the life of the "Magic Mountain" in a very short period of time in a way like a "walking lantern" before death.

Although Jiang Zhe may have known the "Magic Mountain" before, there is nothing to feel guilty about killing this guy after it became demonized. After all, if he didn't kill it, more people would be poisoned.

But if he chooses to absorb the magic core, Jiang Zhe will understand who the human identity of the ugly monster he killed was during his lifetime.

Ordinary people may not understand how much psychological pressure this kind of thing causes on Constantine. After all, it is difficult to empathize without experiencing the same thing.

But Jiang Zhe really knew how painful that feeling was.

After all, although the "Magic Mountain" is ugly and hateful after being demonized, it was once a living person after all!

What's more, the previous identity of "Magic Mountain" may have been someone Jiang Zhe knew, so his psychological pressure will undoubtedly become even greater.

For a time, two completely different thoughts kept colliding in Jiang Zhe's mind like two fast-moving trains.
