Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 316 The Nightmare Key
"Whether you really choose or not, at least you saved me, and I will take you out of here."

Cheng Shen said flatly to the dim and blurry soul body in his hand.

Govia was still saved, the devil parasitized her body, and did not let her soul merge into the nightmare immediately after death.

Cheng Shen was able to take her out with him when he left here.

However, it was only to help her avoid being trapped in this nightmare reincarnation.Her soul was severely damaged and could no longer be restored. Cheng Shen took her out, but he could only rely on the possible reincarnation.

If there is a netherworld in this world.

others.

Cheng Shen was helpless.

Turning his head, the devil's soul body had been gnawed and mutilated by the countless evil spirits contained in the evil body, and the deep darkness on its body surface faded away, revealing an ordinary face, which made Cheng Shen feel inexplicably familiar.

Swish!
Scenes of memory fragments suddenly flashed in his mind, and the familiar strangeness resurfaced along with the depressing images.

dark city,
bloody sky,

burning moon...

A group of strangely dressed people are hiding in the dark sewer, discussing a plan in a low voice; the shadows are distorted wantonly in the darkness; rotting corpses are floating in the sewage, and rats as big as wolf dogs are crawling back and forth;

Cheng Shen tried his best to hear what the group of people were saying, but he only heard a burst of syllables that were vague and obscure like the whispers of ancient gods.

I just feel a splitting headache.

boom! !

Thoughts suddenly exploded.

It turned into a messy turbulence lingering in his brain.

In the end, Cheng Shen only saw one scene, where "he" looked at a figure wearing a bloody crow mask from the perspective of No.1, talking to a man in a gray robe with only a pair of slender palms exposed.

"Murdox, the evacuation plan that you are responsible for must not go wrong..."

The hoarse sound of a crow's neighing echoed in Cheng Shen's ears.

His eyes then went dark.

soon.

Cheng Shen's vision gradually recovered.

He saw that Murdoch's soul had been swallowed by evil and turned into a painful face on a tongue in its mouth, but all the power in its soul had been absorbed by Cheng Shen into his body.

The blood-red flower rooted in his body bloomed incomparably gorgeously, and the roots covered with thorns extended out, like complicated blood vessels and meridians, all over every corner of his soul.

The color of his soul became darker and darker.

until pitch black.

And the blood-red blooming flowers emerged in the center of his chest and became the only color.

This is a sinful flower.

After Cheng Shen absorbed all the power of the devil, he knew its effect.

It is a talent similar to Bloodbathed Demon Body and Prisoner Spirit Rune.

And there are two types of increases it brings to oneself.

Perceive emotions.

Manipulate desire.

The former allows Cheng Shen to see the deepest emotional perception hidden in everyone's heart, and from these emotions, he can distinguish many things.

For example, when a person is full of malice towards him, Cheng Shen can detect it immediately, so as to act first and prevent problems before they happen.

And with this ability, Cheng Shen was no longer afraid of being ambushed. Magical means could cover up energy fluctuations and mental fluctuations, but they couldn't completely hide a person's soul fluctuations anyway.

This is a supplementary enhancement to Cheng Shen's already mastered energy control talent.

The second ability is even more powerful.

There are seven virtue emotions in the human heart, and seven desire emotions, such as rage, greed, and lust... Even a pure and kind person cannot completely abandon these seven desires.

Cheng Shen can use this ability to suddenly increase a certain desire in the target's heart several times.

If used in battle, it will definitely have unexpected miraculous effects!
or.

Use this ability to control a certain type of person...

The positive effects of these two abilities are not very powerful, but they are all insidious, secretive, and hard to guard against, which is undoubtedly quite in line with Murdoch's devil characteristics.

However, it is the most feared ability that belongs to the devil clan alone.

Devil's contract.

Cheng Shen couldn't inherit it.

That needs to transform his own soul into a devil, but the first condition for transforming a devil is to abandon his body.Cheng Shen has already mastered such a perverted profession as Gorefiend, so it is inevitable that he will be a little bit far away.

These two abilities alone are enough.

This sinful flower can also be irrigated by two special emotional energies of desire and despair.

keep growing.

The growth nutrients used are different, and the final form will be different.

Murdoch chose to water it with the emotion of desire.

But its purpose is not to awaken the power of the Flower of Sin, but purely because the emotion of despair has other uses for it, and the emotion of desire is just the "leftover material" produced when it creates despair.

If it is to let Cheng Shen make a choice under equal circumstances.

He also chooses desire.

In contrast, desire emotions are substances that are inherent in everyone's soul, and can be obtained without using other means.

Despair is man-made.

The way to obtain it is very troublesome, and Cheng Shen has no time to spend thousands of years running a cruel and bloody game like Murdox.

but.

It has just accumulated the despair that has been produced in Nightmare Town for thousands of years.

He left Cheng Shen with such a top-notch growth gift package...

"You shameless thief...!!"

The evil primitive consciousness of the "next door" is still crazily hitting the barrier, but with the growth of Cheng Shen's soul power, the space it occupies in the eyes is gradually shrinking, and soon only about one-third is left .

Cheng Shen gained more control.

"At least, I won't break my promise to you."

He calmly said.

"I helped you kill Daniel and lifted the seal, helped you feel happy, and helped you devour the devil to make your soul complete..."

He counted them one by one.

although.

The third thing is slightly different in the specific execution steps...

But it is undeniable that when the next reincarnation starts, the consciousness of evil and Murdoch, who has fallen into a dead state, will be completely integrated.

become a whole.

this matter.

He really did it for the evil.

Now, there is only one verbal promise he made to evil that has not yet been fulfilled.

"The control of Nightmare Town is still in the hands of Murdoch, and its fear is the source of this nightmare.

Since there is no way to completely control this place, it is better to destroy it..."

Thoughts came to mind.

The destruction he refers to restores the place to its original state and returns to the basic operation of the nightmare world.

weaken Murdoch's grip.

Lest it have a chance to make a comeback after it leaves.

Although, without the continuous supply of living souls provided by the Temple of Sacrifice, it is impossible for it to obtain a large amount of emotional energy as before.

But even if there is even a slight possibility, Cheng Shen will completely kill it.

Just get back to normal nightmare rules here.

Then, Murdoch, who has lost his strength, is nothing more than a struggling in a nightmare, destined to suffer catastrophe.

puff!

Cheng Shen pierced the wet flesh with both hands, and jet-black lines suddenly emerged from the evil body, poured into his body along his hands, and dyed the bright blood-red flower with a touch of darkness.

pain,

despair.

The power that carried countless blood and tears was fully integrated into the sinful flower in his body, and Cheng Shen was inevitably affected as well.

However, he immediately used his ability to manipulate desires to magnify all his desires and emotions.All kinds of evil thoughts immediately filled his mind, forcibly suppressing those chaotic soul threads!
at the same time.

Evil's bloated body struggled and squirmed on the ground.

Cheng Shen licked his lips with red eyes, "I'm going to fulfill the last promise I made to you now, and eat everyone here!"

Boom!

A gray and low house was directly smashed into pieces by a huge slap. Evil reached in and grabbed a middle-aged man with a beard and a stern face.

I don't even look at it.

Throw it into your mouth and let countless evil spirits eat it up.

Through the ability to perceive emotions, Cheng Shen can clearly see the evil in everyone's heart.

For example, Govia still retains some virtuous emotions in her heart.

Whether it is due to lack of strength, inability to do evil, or other reasons, Cheng Shen will give them a chance to escape from the nightmare.And there is no need to save those souls who have lost their virtues and only desires.

Their desires and despair will become the nourishment for the growth of the evil flower.

Consciousness will be integrated into the nightmare and become a member of this small town.

……

The participants hidden in every corner of the town were accurately found out by Cheng Shen, and the evil devoured them.

However, evil's bloated body was shrinking continuously.

Letting it roar and struggle, Cheng Shen continued to absorb the despair accumulated in his body into his own body, and the sinful flower condensed on his chest became more and more beautiful, and the bright red petals seemed to have been watered by blood, glowing with water.

"The first stage is about to mature..."

Cheng Shen felt something.

The thought just fell.

All the petals of the Flower of Sin suddenly gathered together to form a bud, and began to change from blood red to deep purple. Its rhizome was the first to complete the metamorphosis, and the purple rhizome covered with spikes was covered with black spots.

Followed by.

The petals that glowed with purple and luster bloomed again.

Snapped……

Cheng Shen only heard something shatter deep in his soul.

He stretched out his palm suddenly, as if he touched an invisible barrier, which does not exist in reality or even in the soul level.

But in his cognition.

Behind the barrier, it is filled with indescribable and incomprehensible chaotic substances. Those substances give him the feeling that if he touches a little now, his consciousness will collapse and he will go crazy...

Extraordinary barrier...? !

Cheng Shen felt a tiny crack on this layer of barrier, which can only be said to be insignificant for this thick and solid wall.

But let him see a ray of bright hope.

"what's going on……

Arjieka said that it is difficult for me to seek independent breakthroughs in the energy realm, but this seems to be the influence of the soul realm...

What exactly is the change I've experienced..."

Cheng Shen was full of doubts.

Regarding his soul, he feels that there are still many secrets of changes that he has not figured out. The transformation brought about by absorbing the power of the devil is not just for him to acquire two new abilities, it can even be regarded as incidental!
The benefits he reaped are far more than that...

"Go back and ask Aljeka."

Indecisive.

Aljeka.

Cheng Shen felt more and more extremely lucky to have recruited her.

"If the Flower of Sin can continue to grow, it will be just around the corner to break through to the extraordinary! ... However, the despair accumulated by the devil for thousands of years is only allowed to grow to the second stage ... we have to think of other ways."

Cheng Shen pondered.

The stage of maturity of the evil flower gave him a special ability.

But he still had to figure it out.

"It's time to end."

Cheng Shen put his thoughts in front of his eyes.

Most of the despair in the evil body has been absorbed by him, and there is still a lot left, but it is definitely not enough to make the flower of evil mature again.

While absorbing.

Cheng Shen controlled the evil that had shrunk to a three-meter-high body, walked through the dilapidated ruins, and came to only one intact building in the town.

The doors of the clinic are already open.

It can be seen that Yunus in the house is holding a strange iron syringe, giving injection treatment to a patient covered with bandages.

"come in."

His hoarse voice came out.

Cheng Shen didn't move.

Wait a moment.

Two figures appeared outside the town dragging a crude cart.

Their looks were very strange, but if you looked closely, you could find that their eyes were very similar to Cheng Shen's, and their bodies slowly dissipated into smoke during the distance they dragged the cart to the clinic.

This is exactly what Cheng Shen lost outside the small town.

Together with the two holy relics, they were found by the puppets he sent out.

"This is what I owed you before."

Cheng Shen pulled out the buds of eleven human face flowers from the cart and threw them into the house.

Yunus turned his head to look, nodded in satisfaction, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed out deep grooves with his smile, "The things I sell are always value for money, and there is no dissatisfied customer who has purchased. "

"That's because the dissatisfied people have no chance to come to you."

Cheng Shen said expressionlessly.

Until now, how could he still not understand what kind of price Yunus paid for the high reward of ten human face flowers.

It's not the "medicine" he's going to give evil.

But that unlucky doll!

Without that puppet, Cheng Shen might have survived last night, but he would never have an opportunity to comeback and win.It can be said that the key to his victory over this devil, on the one hand, depends on his own choice.

Second.

The main reason is to get this nightmare puppet from Yunus!
He is the most hidden person in this small town!
"Who are you?"

Cheng Shen asked.

"I have always been charged for answering questions, are you ready to pay the price?"

Yunus replied calmly with a smile.

"These."

Cheng Shen pointed to the rest of the faces.

Yunus shook his head, "Not enough... If you add those two items, I can still consider answering you."

"fine."

There was no need for Cheng Shen to pay so many precious items for curiosity.

Decisively dismiss the idea.

He turned to ask, "What else can I get in exchange for these face tokens?"

Yunus thought about it seriously.

"A bunch of keys?"

Cheng Shen took out a rusty copper key from his pocket, shook his head and said, "I already have the key to leave here."

"Correct."

Yunus smiled deeply, "But it can only make you go."
