The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

As the body collector's projection completely disappeared, the scene Leo saw through his spiritual vision also disappeared, and he returned to the normal space. The boat that was empty a moment ago had returned to its original hustle and bustle.

What happened just now felt very long to Leo, as if it took a whole day, but in fact it was only a second or even less time, and a sailor who passed by behind him even just raised his foot , have not yet put their feet down.

The people on the boat didn't know that there was a near-divine projection near them just now, and it was swallowed up by the world, but the fact that the people on the boat didn't know it didn't mean that other things knew nothing about what happened just now.

The Snow Queen is a very magical ship. Its hidden ability enables it to capture any supernatural energy fluctuations around it and feed it back to the captain.

The old captain who was resting in the captain's room was awakened instantly by the flashing alarm light in the room, but when he rushed down the console to check the specific situation, the alarm light disappeared. His own defense mechanism did not calm down because the alarm was lifted, maybe he would think that what he saw just now was just an illusion.

Although the alarm has been lifted now, the old captain has no intention of relaxing. He carefully checked the situation of the ship and found any abnormalities.

With a hint of doubt, he walked to the desk-like console, and then removed the disguise of his body. The whole person began to twist and transform. One, the mouth was split into more than a dozen petals, and the whole person looked like a weird humanoid insect.

After completing the mutation, he inserted his twelve upper limbs into the round holes on the edge of the console, and pressed the twelve hidden buttons in sequence according to the opening method.

After completing the opening method, the console immediately cracked a hole, and a finger-sized crystal stone pillar protruded from the bottom.

The tentacles on the old captain's forehead stretched out flexibly, rolled up the crystal stone pillar, and skillfully stuffed it into a groove next to it that was about the same size as the stone pillar.

At the moment when the stone pillar was inserted, a ray of light emerged from the stone pillar and projected on the top of the captain's cabin, forming a projection full of secret words.

The old captain's eyes were all on the secret words that kept flashing in the projection. He seemed very casual at first, but soon his body trembled involuntarily, because he found the reason that caused the alarm just now, and this reason made him feel unbelievable , making him feel even more terrified.

After finding the information he wanted, the old captain used his tentacles to remove the crystal stone pillar, then put it back to its previous position, and restored the console to its original state. After that, he also changed his body back to the human disguise.

The old captain went to his desk, picked up a very old typewriter from one under the desk, put it on the desk, and prepared to type something.

But when he put his hand on the typewriter, he hesitated again, because he felt that if he really passed the recorded and analyzed content to the queen through this special typewriter, not only would he not be able to get any rewards, On the contrary, he would be scolded by the queen, because it was too absurd. Even if he saw the record of the ship itself, he still couldn't believe the content on it.

"A god fell nearby just now, is it possible?" The old captain sat in front of the table, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help talking to himself.

It's no wonder that the old captain has doubts about the ship's records, because changing the secret words he saw just now means that there are gods who fell around the ship just now.

Not to mention whether there are really gods falling around the ship, even if only the gods appear near the ship, then it is impossible to be as peaceful as it is now, and it will definitely be accompanied by various movements, such as the sky being covered by dark clouds, The sea is tumbling and galloping, etc., which are so obvious that people feel the great power of its body.

But just now he didn't find anything abnormal at all, not even a big wave. And in this case, if he passed the news to the queen, he felt that the consequences of doing so would probably be severely scolded by the queen, and he would even be transferred back to the kingdom directly.

Thinking of this, the old captain still felt that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and it is best not to bother the queen with such unexplainable things.

So, he put the printer he had just taken out back into the safe under the table and locked it, continuing the unfinished work that was interrupted just now.

At the same time, Leo had already returned to his goose cabin, closed the door, and lay on the bed, his whole body and mind sank into the secret knowledge he had just obtained from the corpse collector's mark.

The knowledge is very complicated, and there are a lot of light and shadow memories with unknown meanings, and these light and shadow memories are very dangerous. When Leo tries to see what these light and shadow memories are, his brain's thinking will be inexplicably chaotic. If it is not his will Power is strong enough, maybe he is crazy now.

Therefore, after sinking his brain thoughts into memory, he will immediately and carefully separate these light and shadow memories that make him feel extremely dangerous, and seal them up separately.

The whole process was very slow. In the next few days, except for appearing on the deck when eating, Leo would clean up his memories in the cabin at other times.

Old Beren had come to him in turn, and it was also for those treasure hunters who had been planted with seeds, because he could clearly feel that the other party seemed a little weird from some of the behaviors of those people, so he thought of Leo He wants to use Leo's ability to check out the real situation of these people.

But Leo refused Old Beren's request, because he was concentrating on controlling those light and shadow memories at that time, and he couldn't use the spirit net distractedly.

In this way, it took him five days to completely strip out those light and shadow memories that made him feel extremely dangerous, separate a part of the brain, and build a memory lock to temporarily seal these light and shadow memories, and explore them later when he has the ability .

Although the light and shadow memory has been cleared, it is not too late. The remaining memory fragments have become more scattered because of the stripping of the light and shadow memory. , Only then can this gravel-like memory fragment be restored into a memory segment that can be understood by him.

It took about two days for Leo to restore the first memory segment, and the moment it was repaired, he felt that the memory was not dangerous, and he couldn't wait to absorb it into his own memory.

Although the repaired memory is only a small part, the content is huge. When Leo absorbs it, he must always feel that this memory is the main object and affects his thinking. Therefore, it takes a little time to absorb this memory. Not having to fix this memory is much less.

It wasn't until the Ice Queen ended its nearly ten-day flight, sailed into the sea area east of the Pearl Island Chain, and headed for the largest transit port in this sea area, Shackle Island, that Leo could completely absorb and integrate this memory.

In this memory, although he did not get information about the origin of the corpse collector, he knew something very important to him, that is, Yam Island, Lake Town and other places that the corpse collector can enter are only The subspace is also a part of the whole world, just like Leo's current Velen world.

In this memory, the corpse collector has been to a large number of worlds through the connection of various waters and the attraction of priesthood beliefs. Some worlds have the same special power as Velen to keep him outside, but there are more worlds. Like Yam Island and Lake Town, He can enter that world, but he cannot leave the water, because water is the source of his life for him, once he leaves, his life will disappear, just like people cannot live without air .

Most of the worlds that he can enter, like Lake Town, have established a belief system similar to the priesthood of corpse collectors. Through these belief systems, corpse collectors can travel through these worlds at will, and will not be affected by them. repelled by the power.

There are also some worlds that He accidentally discovered in the sea. These worlds are not like the world of Velen, which has an almost absolute repulsion effect on him.

Although those worlds rejected him, they were more or less within the range he could bear. In these worlds, Leo saw that many worlds had the shadow of the end of everything, because he saw In those worlds, there are special species like the ashen butterfly that only appear in the place where everything ends.

He doesn't like these worlds, because he can feel that the longer he stays in that world, the more confused his thoughts become, the less he will leave, and he will eventually be assimilated by that world.

This is not his guess, but he did see that there are gods who have been assimilated by that world, and not just one, but a group.

Because this memory about the assimilation of gods and spirits in the land where everything ends is very complete, when Leo read this memory, it was as if he was there, feeling that the gods in the memory were walking aimlessly like walking dead, Feeling that near-desperate breath, and the more interesting point is that these gods are all demigods like the Corpse Collector without exception, not real Omega-level advanced life forms.

Although this part of the memory reveals a lot of secrets about this world, it also creates more doubts, because if it is really calculated according to the size of the world in the memory of the corpse collector, then the area of ​​this world is extremely large, It is definitely much larger than the largest habitable planet Leo has ever seen in the universe.

Although there are many, many larger planets in the universe, the problem is that because of their huge size, extremely high density, and terrible gravity, they can even attract light like black holes, so they are not suitable at all. inhabited by any creature.

And more importantly, the main composition of this world turned out to be water, which violated the physical laws of the normal universe, so the doubts in Leo's heart not only did not decrease because of the absorption of these knowledge, but became more.

In addition, what makes Leo feel regretful in this knowledge is that he has not obtained the ability and method of the body collector to travel through various worlds through oceans and other waters. The only comfort is that he knows that this ability comes from the ability of the body collector itself. If he can Mastering the power in the imprint of the corpse collector may also have the ability to travel through various worlds, of course, the premise is that it will not be discovered and captured by the corpse collector during the journey.

In addition to these secret knowledge about the composition of this world, Leo also obtained a little secret about the power of the corpse collector's mark, or the power secret of the corpse collector, from this memory.

From a certain point of view, the divine powers of the Corpse Collector and Death Gain are almost the same, they are both the incarnation of the power of death, but the difference is that Death Gain is only interested in the souls of intelligent creatures, while the Corpse Collector is like It is a corpse recycling station. Not only human corpses, but also animal corpses, insect corpses, and even gods' corpses are within the scope of his collection.

Just like the soul is the source of power of Gane, the god of death, these corpses are also the source of power of the corpse collector. He can continuously collect corpses to improve his own strength. The higher the life level of the collected corpses, the more power he will gain. Large, even qualitative changes will occur.

For example, the reason why the corpse collector can produce a sliver of wisdom is because he accidentally collected the corpse of a god.

The corpse collector's mark also has the function of collecting corpse transformation power, and Leo can also control this power, but after careful study of this power, he is still a little hesitant about whether to use this power and how to use it.

The reason for this is because he discovered that the method of improving the power of the corpse collector has great disadvantages, and it may even cause the corpse collector to fall in the end.

Any power that can be improved quickly will inevitably have some unavoidable disadvantages. For example, Death Gain obtains the power in the soul by guiding the soul back to the world, but he will also be affected by some more mysterious obsessions in the soul It's just that he has a group of excellent family members who can help him share these obsessions, so that he can minimize the impact of the disadvantages.

It is also the same for the corpse harvester to collect corpses, and while gaining strength from it, he will also be affected by some unavoidable obsessions in the corpse, but he is not like the death god Gain, who has an extremely suitable family member like the web weaver to share these disadvantages for him In the end, these disadvantages all fell on him, which is the main reason why he, a demigod who is very close to an omega-level advanced life form, only possesses some animal instinct wisdom.

Moreover, there are many types of corpses collected by the corpse collectors, which can be said to be unscrupulous, unlike the souls guided by Death God Gain, which are all the same in essence, so the power transformed from so many corpses is also extremely chaotic and lawful. These powers may not affect the corpse collector for a period of time, but when he needs to evolve his life, these powers will inevitably become his biggest obstacle, preventing him from ever evolving into an Omega-level advanced life form.
