Chapter 498 Gallo: The world deceived me

Roland soon learned of this and hurried back to Nieves City and came to the Mage Tower.

"how is the situation?"

The staff member said: "Your Excellency Roland, everything is as expected. Gallo's mental fluctuations have completely disappeared from the outside world. All intelligent entities are basically sure to have successfully captured it!"

"So, all his clones are already here?"

Roland pondered for a moment and nodded secretly.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if they are not 100% present, because after the ratio reaches a certain level, the “Gallo” in the entire network will become more and more inclined to “thrive” within the controlled “Gallo’s World” .

In nature, everything has a "shortest path" instinct.

This is essentially a law of natural selection.

Because doing work against entropy consumes energy.

The consumption of energy means that the risk of death of a living body or a certain meme increases, and the opportunity for inheritance is lost.

Therefore, if there is no accident, we will not sacrifice the near for the far.

Naturally, Gallo's clone cannot escape from this law, or it can be said that anything that follows the law of conservation of mass and energy cannot escape from this law.

“In this case, the next step of the plan can be implemented.

Just destroy them all in this laboratory! "

According to the original plan, if there are still some Gallo clones left in the outside world, it is possible to attract them by stimulating the network.

This is a swarming effect and one of the instincts of swarming life.

Roland immediately retreated from everyone, sealed the room and began to implement the plan to eliminate Gallo.

Compared with the more subjective "plan", what he is doing now may be more accurately described as "program".

Because these are all plans that have been set up long ago and planned from the beginning.

"Gallo's World" was originally used to capture Gallo's clone, hypnotize and control it.

Roland cleverly exploited Gallo's weakness of not being able to truly transcend, trapping him in his physical body.

This actually stems from the weakness of the Lich's phylactery.

At first glance, it appears that lichs can regenerate indefinitely.

Within a period of time after being eliminated, the abnormality of the Lich's spirit can be sensed through the Lich's phylactery, and then the ritual of rebirth can be performed.

This kind of rebirth is not even limited by the physical body. Even if the bones are shattered and ashes are scattered, the strange magic that can rebuild the body from scratch is often regarded as a way of immortality.

In reality, restrictions still exist.

The phylactery itself is the shackles that cannot be broken away from.

Roland was keenly aware that the clone created by Gallo seemed to be free of the phylactery, but in fact, it used more physical bodies as part of the phylactery.

This weakness has not diminished, but has increased.

In this room, the artificially created flesh and blood puppet can invade its network and even trap its soul, leaving the other party unaware. This is the best evidence.

"~~...Galo!"

Roland began to cast spells.

In the void, there seemed to be a muffled voice shouting a certain name over and over again.

The voice gradually became clear from chaos.

"Gallo..."

"Gallo..."

"Gallo..."

Echoes like deep canyons seemed to begin to appear all around. It's like some kind of soul-calling spell, an invisible wizard calling from the distant place.

"Gallo's World"...

In the scene created by virtual reality technology.

Gallo is leading an army of undead to fight in the "Kingdom of Dolan".

In his understanding, although his mummy self-destructed, he had successfully gotten rid of the limitations of his physical body and was floating in the sky above many clones in the form of his soul.

Those arcane military policemen were in vain, so naturally they could not stop his next actions.

He activated the sacrificial ritual that had long been engraved in each clone. The power of souls sensed and resonated with each other, and began to converge towards the selected subject.

The mana of the entire world seemed to begin to resonate, and heaven and earth naturally responded.

"I feel...the nature of heaven and earth, the unity of heaven and man...

Hahahaha, it turns out that the road to becoming a god is just like this! "

Gallo's soul moves in the vast dark sky of nothingness. Wherever his spiritual power reaches, it is like a candle shining in all directions.

In an instant, he saw thousands of lights, like stars.

These are the soul powers possessed by the clone.

His soul was stolen by the soul-stealing technique and refined into a clone of his own incarnation. His virtual personality and intelligence were reshaped by the "Intelligence Endowment" spell.

After that, part of the soul also gave back in the form of network nodes, where spiritual power always resides.

This is Roland's understanding of the alternative "phylactery".

At this moment, Gallo ignited all of this, trying to draw the power of his soul from it, gathering it into a strong enough bonfire.

This is to use the soul as fuel to forcibly ignite the "divine fire"!
Compared with the real path to becoming a god, this method of promotion for the demigod lich undoubtedly has many flaws.

For example, if there is no godhead or divinity, doing it forcefully will consume a lot of spiritual power all the time.

When this consumption reaches a certain level, it will begin to damage the essence of the soul, causing the entire spiritual body to collapse.

There are also some demigod lichs who have lost all their spirit and will over the long years and become "god-like" creatures.

But Gallo's approach is different. It retains the possibility of constantly grabbing and adding "fuel".

In a sense, it can be regarded as a major improvement to the promotion method of demigod lich.

If he can succeed, he may become the first special demigod lich and open up a new path.

What Gallo didn't know was that these powers were completely condensed and formed a raging fire in front of him, but it burned in the real space.

Virtual reality technology from the Hormire school creates realistic feedback that captivates his senses.

Everything he saw, heard, perceived and came into contact with was created for him by this "Gallo's world".

But there is also something that virtual reality technology cannot imitate, and that is the person of a true god.

Gradually, Gallo, who was waiting to ascend to the gods and complete the final leap, felt an indescribable sense of emptiness.

"how so?
My mental strength is weakening...

The essence of the soul has not improved at all! "

He finally woke up from the illusion of nothingness, and with the help of his mysterious connection, he saw a scene outside the "world".

There is a blazing sun floating in the boundless universe.

And outside the "universe", there is a giant that spans the sky, like "Pangu".

Roland held the "sun" in his hand, looking down at him silently.
