Chapter 496 Gallo: I feel something is wrong

"Another clone has been captured..."

"Recently, Nieves' pursuit has been intense, and it seems that they are going to speed up again."

In the dark mausoleum, the mummy walked through the long corridor, and the footsteps echoed in the empty space accompanied by nightmare-like murmurs.

Soon after, he came to the lower hall.

There are many experimental subjects captured from various places hidden here.

They have different shapes and species, including birds and beasts, magical beasts, and even... humans!
These experimental subjects were all captured by Gallo's clones and subordinates during the recent war.

The double attacks of demons and undead scourges disrupted the Kingdom of Dolan.

This made its rule ineffective and resulted in large numbers of casualties everywhere.

It couldn't be easier to obtain hundreds, thousands, or even more experimental subjects.

At this moment, these birds, beasts and humans were neatly stacked on the wooden shelves, and they were all cast with life-sustaining sleep magic, like commodities waiting for a price.

The mummy's eyes were cast to the far corner by the light reflected by the surrounding magic torches.

There, a human experimental subject suddenly moved.

He seemed to be slightly free from the magic of Nightmare Soul, his hands and feet twitched subconsciously a few times, and he began to struggle like a drowning man falling into the cold abyss.

The mummy walked over and gently touched the man's forehead with his dry fingers.

A dark power spread from its fingertips. In the blink of an eye, the light in the man's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by darkness as deep as ink.

He was wiped out of consciousness by the power of the spell and turned into a real walking zombie.

But the next moment, a new consciousness is born inside.

The man struggled to get up again, ignoring the mummy and the surrounding environment, and began to walk out.

Another "Gallo" was born here.

The huge stone chamber was filled with such "consumables", and when illuminated by the surrounding magic torches, it looked eerie.

When Gallo first started, he still had some natural pity for these unfortunate lives.

But as the number of copies and derivatives increased, more and more emotions were forgotten, and foreign will gradually affected his mind.

These things are subtly changing his thoughts and will, just like the gods spawned by the power of faith, gradually transcending human beings.

Gallo clearly felt these changes, but he was not moved at all.

Because he understands that this is the only way for him to become a god.

Now he has gained more and more knowledge, experience and wisdom from these soul-robbed life forms, and his spiritual power has become stronger and stronger. He is no longer an ordinary human being, and is completely different from even those high-level mages. different.

"Well!"

Suddenly, a sudden headache hit me.

He felt an invisible big hand appear in his mind, stirring fiercely.

His will became chaotic and his thinking instantly became blank.

This state lasted for a while, and when Gallo came to his senses, he found himself lying on the cold ground.

But he didn't panic. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and waited quietly for a while.

After noticing that there was no other abnormality, he slowly got up.

"The backlash is getting more and more serious, and those messy memories and mental powers are trying to backfire on my mind.

But I have begun to find ways to distinguish and separate these powers, as long as I find more suitable 'containers'...

Not only can it solve these problems, it may also create another powerful weapon. " His eyes passed over the corpses in the hall, and what he thought of was an ancient magic that originated from the wizarding era - the rune beast!
Ancient wizards believed that the power of words and words could control others, so the magical beasts, which also possessed some spirituality but had far lower intelligence than humans, were the best targets for spellcasting.

They used this principle to create some spells that could be used to control living beings, and engraved them on the captured monsters or slaves.

The latter experiment failed - human beings are not something that ordinary powers can control. Even a great wizard can hardly achieve it completely with just some spells.

Later, other spells to control humans were gradually derived, such as "Dominating Humans".

But more results are still concentrated on the former.

That method is the so-called Talisman.

"My achievements have gone further. Not only can I control these flesh and blood puppets, but I can also give them some intelligence and strength!"

Gallo meditated secretly, comparing the optimizations and improvements he had made in this area.

His current experimental conditions are simple, and the most abundant materials are those "free materials" - the corpses of living bodies and spiritual bodies.

Therefore, what he pursues is to maximize the use of resources in this area.

After the soul was taken away and exchanged, some of the remaining souls and spiritual consciousness possessed by the original body were also used.

The only pity may be the backlash caused by this.

But Gallo prided himself on his wisdom and felt he had everything under control.

Thinking of this, he silently felt the clones scattered outside again.

There is a long-distance induction like quantum communication between the clones, forming a huge resonance network.

This allows him to sense the general situation of the entire network at any time.

The pursuit from Atrein's side was still going on, and they were lurking and avoiding each other.

The most difficult thing to resist is the lock-in of "roll call".

But as long as the "reproduction" speed is fast enough, the number of nodes can continue to grow, and this clustered life form can develop and grow and will not be wiped out so easily.

"It's not a big problem!"

Gallo came to a quick conclusion.

He was even slightly surprised to discover that one of the clones had been captured before and then escaped.

He came to the eastern part of the Dolan Kingdom, an area that had not encountered demonic disasters, and opened up a new base there.

The local guild is not strong enough and cannot take care of it for the time being.

Gallo thought about it and made a decision immediately.

"Make that a new development focus."

Then he turned his thoughts to other things.

After opening up this mental network of clustered life forms, his thinking became more and more active, but it became increasingly difficult to think deeply about the same thing.

New spirits and memories are constantly being added to the entire network. Within the spiritual space formed by the soul power, he is incarnating into thousands of people all the time, entering different clones in quantum form and controlling them remotely.

Even when necessary, it would be like a god descending to give those clones high-level mage-level combat abilities.

But he does not have a huge soul like a god, nor is he blessed by the power of faith to receive a steady stream of spiritual power.

At best, it is just a weak new god with no reputation. The divine fire is like a candle in the wind and may be destroyed at any time.

He really can't take care of it and can only entrust the intelligent body to develop on its own.
