Chapter 41: The Terrifying Cosmic Brain Demon, Sealing the Talent
“The Cosmic Brain Demon is a cruel, cold, and extremely cunning cosmic creature, and it is a major enemy of human civilization. At the same time, it is a common enemy of all intelligent beings.”
“They take the form of a deformed brain, equipped with tentacle-like bodies, which is merely for the convenience of manipulating tools. According to the Brain Demon’s own account, its true form is a computing chip within the brain.
High-level Brain Demons vary in form, but they all modify various auxiliary weapons based on their brains.
The Brain Demon chip is extremely popular on the market; the cheapest bronze-level chip has a computing power that exceeds that of one thousand of the most advanced computers. Its price is no less than ten million!”
“The higher the grade, the more it multiplies.
However, the Brain Demon also has an incredibly strong vitality; it can absorb the mental energy and souls of others to strengthen itself. In dire situations, it can fall into a state of apparent death. When there is intense psychological activity nearby, it will absorb the overflowing mental energy to revive itself.”
“Special attention should be paid to the fact that Cosmic Brain Demons are extremely good at forming groups. They communicate in a manner that is currently undetectable by human probes; scientists speculate that it might be through dimensional radio waves.”
“Fifty years ago, an overseas research institution captured a gold-level Brain Demon alive for study, but unexpectedly summoned a saint-level Brain Demon, leading an army to retrieve it!
This resulted in the explosion of over a hundred worlds and the deaths of millions of beings. Therefore, when encountering Brain Demons, do not think about capturing them alive; the best solution is to kill them as soon as possible!”
“Be especially wary of their mental infection and brainwashing techniques. However, their weaknesses are also quite apparent; their frail bodies make them far weaker than creatures of the same level, as they direct all their nourishment to their brains.”
After reviewing the dense material, Su Bai finally gained a preliminary understanding of them.
“They are extremely extreme creatures, and even in the cosmos, they are quite troublesome. Moreover, according to the introduction, the influence of the Brain Demons has spread to different star regions, establishing numerous empires. Their main base is in the Cosmic Brain Star Region? There are likely true divine-level Brain Demons among them?”
He felt a chill run down his spine, especially at the last line of the information, which made him furrow his brow even more.
“Please note! Cosmic Brain Demons bear grudges; if you plan to deal with them, it is best to strike with a single effort and eliminate them in the shortest time possible. Never give them a chance to call for help, or you will face endless retribution!”
“From the looks of it, the best solution is to let them continue floating around?”
He pondered for a while.
He also felt that with the danger nearby, he could not afford to be complacent.
Especially since he had sent out his army to train and fight.
What if they awakened during this time and summoned their forces to attack the Tianyuan Realm?
“Eradicating the crisis at its source is the only way.”
He couldn’t shake the feeling that the previous cosmic storm had come too suspiciously.
Notably, the information mentioned that the Brain Demons had developed various high-tech weapons.
One of which was the Storm Oscillator!
It was regarded as a nemesis for small-scale worlds; if blown by a storm, they would either suffer severe injuries or die!
He needed to investigate further.
As the cooldown time approached, Su Bai furrowed his brow and immersed his consciousness back into the star sea.
Upon entering, a series of alert sounds greeted him.
[Log: While you were away, time continued to accelerate. Ten years have passed. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Super Beasts, the Tianyuan Realm has grown to 190 kilometres. Growth has reached another threshold. Without external assistance, it can only slowly grind forward using gravitational pull.]
“The power of origin is depleting quickly.”
Su Bai glanced at the world and let out a small sigh.
As far as he knew, the pinnacle of a tier 1 world is a land area of 500 kilometres.
After that, there is a final leap to evolve into a medium-sized world.
From the looks of it, there was still a long way to go.
He also noticed that as his subordinates grew stronger, especially after the Lord of the Four Seas advanced to a silver-level creature, the consumption of spiritual energy and essence was increasing rapidly.
In recent years, the newly born Dinosaurians and Super Beasts had much less potential than before.
It was evident.
It was just like a piece of land that could only grow a limited number of large trees.
A few powerful beings had already occupied too much of the world’s essence.
According to the old rule, Su Bai once again issued a divine oracle, instructing his subordinates to prepare for new exploration opportunities.
In summary, it boiled down to one sentence:
“Do not fear death; give it your all.”
The followers led by the Evil Eye referred to each simulation as the “Rite of Life and Death.”
With each simulation, it was as if they experienced a reincarnation, gaining numerous memories.
However, just before the simulation, at the underwater temple, the Lord of the Four Seas swayed its tentacles, requesting an audience with him.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Bai was quite surprised.
Although the Lord of the Four Seas didn’t show it, it was still the top creature of the Tianyuan Realm, not even Baby Godzilla was its opponent.
“Oh great Creator, lately I have been hearing whispers of temptation in my ears. I often dream of that massive meteorite approaching, ready to swallow me whole.”
“I beseech you to seal my new talent until I am strong enough to unseal it.”
The Lord of the Four Seas said uneasily.
“Could it be that an evil god has targeted it?”
Su Bai thought to himself.
According to the information, the Lord of the Four Seas seemed to resemble the evil gods a bit, inheriting some bloodlines.
Thus, it was not surprising.
Temporarily sealing its talent was quite simple.
Su Bai used faith points to set up a sealing rune.
Due to its negative effects being so significant, Su Bai simply removed the whispers of Cthulhu from the talent bar.
“Since it is self-understood, I can always reinstall it later.”
Once everything was ready, he checked his Creation Points once more and began the simulation again.
This time, he did not bring the S-card.
Instead, he sent his subordinates to focus on researching the Cosmic Brain Demon!
