Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

Under that layer of polluted black mud, there were countless squirming red bugs. They were gnawing furiously at He-Man's skeletal remains, and at the same time formed a strange flesh and blood tissue to sustain his life.

But what Cheng Shen saw was directly through the appearance of such curiosity, receiving the strong pheromones emitted by those red bugs.

strange,

distortion,

crazy,

indescribable.

All kinds of confusing information suddenly impacted Cheng Shen's consciousness, making his senses feel like they were about to burst!

Immediately withdrawing his mental touch, Cheng Shen's consciousness fluctuated unstablely in mid-air. After a while, it gradually became calmer. He caught a familiar smell in the impact of the frantic information flow.

It is the remaining power of that god’s remains!

Cheng Shen didn't dare to look any further. Not even his own mental strength was able to look directly at the remains of the ancient god through the memory images, let alone his fragile understanding at the moment.

If it weren't for the fact that the power remaining in He-Man's body was less than one ten thousandth of that of the remains.

Cheng Shen probably collapsed the moment he saw his true body!

"The sick ghosts in the deserted village originated from the remains of the god...?" His mind settled down, and then he thought, "The deserted village originated from a group of refugees from the old city, which means that the real source is still that city...

"

"What happened to the remains that made the residents of the city look like this...What did those unbelievers do?!"

He still felt frightened when he recalled that feeling.

Consciousness sinks.

Cheng Shen gradually felt that his void soul was wrapped in a layer of cold and tight material, the flow of blood, the soft creaking of gears, and the noise occupied his entire perception for a moment.

Then it suddenly converged.

Buzz!

A pair of eyes that had been replaced with crystals lit up on Cheng Shen's face.

Creak!

He sat up from the operating table, and the sound of metal friction could be heard from at least a dozen parts of his body. This time, his body parts were completely replaced during the transformation surgery, and his degree of transformation has exceeded 85%!

Except for the two important structures of the heart and brain, all other organs of this body have basically been replaced with special deified parts.

But this kind of deified parts are not the same as puppet parts in the conventional sense. Some of them are like flesh and blood demon puppets, a strange state of symbiosis between flesh and machine, but the deification technology is obviously more complete.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but wonder if the incomplete information on the flesh demon puppet he obtained was originally a research branch of the deification experiment?

He didn't think too much about it.

Open the personal panel.

He was very satisfied with all the attributes of this newly replaced body.

Seaman also spent a lot of money and transformed all the excellent deified parts that he had been reluctant to use on Cheng Shen, transforming his body, which was originally just an ordinary person, to the level of a leader!

Naturally, it is still far behind his actual strength.

But it's enough here.

"Are you awake!?"

Cheng Shen was still familiar with the functions of this new body when he heard Seaman's voice of surprise.

His appearance has been restored to its original state, and the horrific scenes on his body have been wrapped again by a thick layer of white cloth.

Cheng Shen no longer felt the power that drove him crazy.

That inconspicuous strip of cloth seemed to be an artifact that could isolate the influence of the power of gods. However, Cheng Shen thought more about the layer of polluted black mud covered by He-Man's body, and couldn't help but make some guesses in his heart.

"How do you feel? Is there a... a... unique feeling!?"

Seaman didn't know how to describe it either.

"No."

Cheng Shen shook his head.

"No!?"

Seaman was stunned for a moment, and his dull voice suddenly rose. He was so sick that he was at a loss at this moment, "How could there be no change? How could there be no change? You must have missed some key!"

He's about to pounce.

"Lie down! Let me check your body carefully again!"

Zheng!

A sharp blade suddenly extended from Cheng Shen's arm covered with black lines, and the blade was pointed at Seaman. The cold breath made him stop in place. But Seaman's eyes gradually became crazy.

"Who told you that if the deification experiment is successful, there will be changes?"

Cheng Shen said.

This question made He-Man, who was on the verge of going berserk, slightly stunned.

"No one...but, but..."

he murmured.

Alchemists of their generation have been stuck for countless years in breaking through the 70% threshold in the deification transformation experiment. They have used every method they can think of, and the experimental subjects consumed can even be measured in mountains of corpses!

But it’s true that no one has ever told them that as long as they break through this threshold, unique changes will definitely occur?

Seaman was suddenly discouraged.

At this time, he had not thought that it was because of Cheng Shen's own special situation. After all, the secret technique of Thousand Demonic Souls was not that common in itself.

Parasitic demon spirits that can also do this are extremely rare.

Sea-Man has been doing research for decades and has faced countless experimental subjects who are just waiting to be killed.

His thoughts and cognition are also limited to this field.

"What is the purpose of your research on the deification experiment?"

Cheng Shen asked again.

"It is to achieve ideological immortality..."

Seaman replied subconsciously, and then his eyes calmed down, as if he suddenly figured out the key to the problem.

"I understand, it must be that your transformation is not thorough enough!"

He said firmly.

Yes, although Cheng Shen's experimental results broke their bottleneck for many years.

But in the final analysis, it has only reached 85% of the level of deification.

Not even 100%!

The key constraints that lead to qualitative change have not yet been reached!

"Can you stay?" After thinking about this, Seaman suddenly said with fiery eyes, "I will ask the Lord to forgive all the sins you have committed here, as long as you can continue to be an experimental subject!"

"Believe me! Once this experiment is successful, it will definitely overturn all the rule systems in this world!

And you will hopefully become the first god in the new era!"

He is as fanatical as a cultist.

No, the word "xiang" should be removed. What he did fully deserves the title of believer of the evil god.

"impossible."

Cheng Shen decisively rejected him without thinking.

He knew his situation well, and of course he understood that the hope that Heman saw now was just an illusion. Moreover, from other aspects, Cheng Shen had countless good reasons to reject him. He would not be a guinea pig.

"You can try to force me to stay."

Cheng Shen said calmly when he saw the figure moving in the inner room.

Zheng!

The blade protruding from his forearm suddenly retracted, and Cheng Shen moved his body as if there was no one around. After accepting the deified transformation, the degree of rejection between his consciousness and this body deepened again, and his movements were somewhat sluggish.

The feeling of controlling a puppet in the first person is becoming more and more obvious.

Fortunately, Cheng Shen had played a lot of first-person perspective games before, and he usually controlled the Scout Guard in this mode.

Can adapt quickly.

Ximan looked at Cheng Shen's body with desire emerging in his dark eyes.

He was still unwilling to give in and said in a deep voice: "You just need to hide here with me for a while! I need to observe your body data, at least let me know where the key problem for the success of this experiment is!"

Naturally, Cheng Shen could not agree to this condition.

But he didn't refuse directly.

In fact, if he hadn't witnessed the terrifying truth about He-Man's true form just now, he had already taken action and used his own methods to force him to get the information he wanted to know. How could he still be standing here talking to him slowly?

As for repaying kindness with hatred?

The premise is.

The other party was indeed kind-hearted in helping him treat his injuries.

The reason why Seaman helped him was not because he provided information that the other party was interested in.

Furthermore.

His purpose in helping him undergo transformation was not very kind.

"I want to know more about that sick village." Cheng Shen changed the topic directly, "As I said at the beginning, I am not going there to attract your attention, but because I have a reason to go.

The more detailed you can help me understand, if you have the conditions, I will try my best to help you complete it."

"Sick Village..."

Seaman suddenly showed a strong struggle. He was caught in a dilemma between the deification experiment and his own obsession.

After a long while, Seaman finally made a decision. He put down the scalpel he was holding tightly in his hand and said with complicated emotions: "Do you really want to go there?"

Cheng Shen responded to his question with calm eyes.

"That village has been shrouded in nightmares..." Heman was halfway through his words when he suddenly closed his mouth, as if he was worried about something. He looked around cautiously, and then said: "I can't reveal too much information."

"Is it a curse from the devil?"

Cheng Shen recalled the strange man he caught in the temple of sacrifice. Just as the man was about to speak, he was killed by an unknown force.

Seaman did not respond.

It seemed like he would attract the other person's attention just by mentioning it.

"trouble."

Cheng Shen secretly wondered how feasible it would be if he suddenly took action to control He-Man, prevent him from releasing those red bugs, and then use soul stripping techniques to break down the devil's restrictions...

at last.

He still gave up the idea.

It is not said whether the soul stripping technique is effective against the devil's restraint.

The power coming from the remains of the gods alone cannot be dealt with by his clone alone. Taking action rashly will not only end in a life-and-death situation and disrupt his plan, but it will not do any good.

"I can tell you about some of the taboos there."

Seaman said.

"What taboo?"

Cheng Shen had already made plans to leave.

"Don't go out after dark... don't come near when you hear singing... don't enter any house without windows... Finally, and most importantly, don't trust anyone! Even if you meet me there!"

Seaman said slowly.

"snort……"

He seemed to have a way to prevent the devil's curse from taking effect, but the cost was extremely high. Every time he spoke a word, a large amount of filthy bodily fluids would seep out of his body, and in the blink of an eye, the cloth he had just changed was completely soaked again.

"Meet you?"

Cheng Shen pondered the meaning of Ximan's words.

He also heard the same words from the extraordinary person he killed.

But the place the other party mentioned was in the Old City.

"Nightmare..."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

"Could it be that there is some kind of power originating from nightmares in the Old City that will reappear people or things from the past? And the deserted village is also part of the Old City, and has also been affected by this inexplicable power..."

He looked at Seaman, who shook his head with weak eyes, obviously unable to provide him with any information.

"Say your terms."

Cheng Shen said.

If the taboos provided by Ximan are true, they will indeed be of great help to him. They are favors independent of previous grudges. Although Cheng Shen is disgusted by what he has done, he does not want to owe him anything.

"To be honest, I don't think you can do it..." Heman's eyes revealed the only humanity in his eyes, "If you can find the souls of my wife and daughter, please take them away, or...send them to complete liberation.

."

"……Understood."

Cheng Shen nodded.

His previous guess was indeed correct. The pair of corpse puppets were very important people to He-Man. It was not too unexpected to receive this commission now.

"Take this with you."

Seaman then provided another piece of support to Cheng Shen. He took out a silver-white one-piece robe, "This dress can prevent you from being watched by the Storm Lord in the castle. You... wish yourself well."

"

He also seemed to know what Cheng Shen was going to do next.

A stiff smile appeared on Cheng Shen's face, half of which had been transformed into metal.

"In that case,

We should be considered half partners now."

Seaman turned to look at him, without any fear of the naked meaning of his words, "I helped you, and I can expose you at any time. You are not qualified to threaten me with this matter."

"How could I threaten you? You and I are now partners who have entrusted our wealth to us.

Don't worry, I just need a little help from you."

Cheng Shen said.

"I will never fight for you in this castle."

Seaman said alertly.

"No need, you just need to tell me what other alchemists are good at and what their weaknesses are...

Besides, I see there are a lot of good things in your laboratory..."

Cheng Shen's tone was relaxed.

Soon, a tall figure wrapped in a silver-white robe embroidered with embroidery quietly opened the door and left the laboratory.

Cheng Shen's two newly replaced eyeballs were like two bright light bulbs in the darkness.

"Interesting, there is actually a goblin mechanical expert among these alchemists... Also, the goblins are slaves raised in the temple, so it is not an accident that their people appear here."

Cheng Shen recalled a list provided to him by Seaman.

Among them, the one who first caught his attention was a mad scientist from the goblin tribe.

That guy may have been locked underground for too long and his mind has been completely distorted. He turned around and joined the camp of worshiping the temple. Then he was sold to Storm Castle after several changes, and he seemed to be doing quite well here.

"It's you."

Cheng Shen walked toward Laboratory No. 7 without making any sound.

Boom!

He stretched out his dark palm and knocked on the door.
