Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 269 The Light of Annihilation
"broken."

Chen Ming thought to himself.

Why are all the psychics in Zuojiao so incompetent, and they died suddenly without trying anything out?
The same thing happened to the black mist who assassinated him before. He seemed to have something to say, but after two waves of fighting, his mental power was exhausted. He tried to escape but was captured alive by him.

The doorman at the space station behind him was almost unprepared. He was suddenly attacked by him and died suddenly. He didn't even know what psychic power was.

Now, the psyker I just met who can control electromagnetic force can only control metal, and has no other performance.

The use of metal to make large weapons seemed very impressive, but in the end, I didn't understand anything and just gave it away.

The psyker on the left path really doesn't work.

But think about it, unless there is a compelling reason for a true psychic, who would go to the left path?

The fact that Zuo Jing's psykers are weaker than the Empire's psykers is good news for Chen Ming.

But it's more troublesome at this time.

I have already experienced the ability to be infatuated when I saw it.

It's hard to understand what this totem pole is capable of? What is it?
Even the Insect Queen cannot directly devour a complete psyker and then recreate the psyker's psychic abilities.

All research content has nothing to do with this totem pole status thing, especially on the space station.

And the electromagnetic field ability grew on that new face, and he felt it when the totem pole emitted electric light. It was even the most obvious ability he felt.

The capabilities of this thing are really a bit exaggerated.

This electromagnetic psyker gave it away without even trying out anything, and gave a new ability to the totem pole.

But things didn't turn around.

So are the two faces on this totem pole the psykers who were eaten earlier?
Does this also mean that there were originally three psykers in this underground laboratory?
If there were other psykers who had been eaten earlier, something was wrong.

Because he currently controls the entire underground laboratory, although all databases have not been read in detail, the general contents have basically been confirmed.

Although it is a masked face deliberately twisted out of flesh and blood, one of the faces is obviously neutral and has a clear sense of charm.

Then that cold face should also have its own unique ability.

He didn't expect that the psyker in Zuo Jing couldn't even resist a confrontation and died suddenly.

Because as the totem pole eats the psykers on the left path, a third face grows at the top.

The other face was expressionless, cold and hard, and the feeling it gave him was similar to that of a certain ectoplasmic stone.

If it was him who just rushed over to fight in close quarters, I'm afraid the third face on the totem pole now should be An Wuping's.

Chen Ming can clearly feel that the totem pole's mixed and chaotic feeling of multiple abilities has become more and more obvious.

It doesn't seem unacceptable to Chen Ming to give this totem pole one more ability in exchange for discovering its weaknesses.

Let’s not talk about whether there are so many psykers in Zuojia, but why did Zuojia arrange five psykers in this galaxy?
The space station and the research content in the laboratory here do not make it necessary for the left path to reach this level.

This is actually considered a mistake by Chen Ming.

However, this chaotic state that is close to collapse has not really caused the totem pole to collapse. It is rapidly recovering from this state of unrestricted and unfettered spiritual energy.

And look at the two faces at the top of the totem pole.

Therefore, the faces Chen Ming sees now should be the embodiment of the psychic characteristics of this totem pole.

There is no clue that Zuojia is conducting this research.

Unless that totem pole is also part of the research.

Chen Ming no longer thought about it, he had to seize this opportunity.

If this thing continues to be given the opportunity to devour psykers, how far this thing can grow is obviously a question that people have to think about, but they don't want to really happen.

And the way of sudden death was very strange.

However, Chen Ming immediately rejected this idea.

Not only is the totem pole's ability so powerful that it's abnormal, it's also the fact that Zuo Jing actually sent five psykers here.

It is even obvious that it may collapse at any time.

It is the nature of the ability of the totem pole itself.

This face gave Chen Ming a feeling of "fascination" when he first saw it, which was similar to the feeling that being obsessed with the ectoplasm stone gave him.

Wait, if you think so.

The plasma condensed and took shape in his hand, and was restricted by the strong magnetic force into the shape of a spear.

As for Chen Ming's ability to directly eat people and transform them, it doesn't feel like the effect of those three faces.

It becomes more fragile when absorbing new abilities, which seems to be its weakness.

Releasing the plasma directly causes the plasma's power to be dispersed.

Chen Ming is now more inclined to believe that this is a new trap created by Zuo Jing himself, rather than a leak in the laboratory that they had originally planned to take the initiative to deal with.

Maybe the face cannot be observed by devices other than the naked eye, and cannot be touched from the physical level.

Such a thing that can directly kill even the fake body that Chen Ming spent a lot of effort to create, if it really grows up, a lot of troublesome things will happen.

It's just that this feeling was protected by the Word of Madness ectoplasm stone and turned into a feeling of vomiting, and it overlapped with the psychic energy fluctuations emanating from the flesh and blood of the spiritual beasts that were also triggered by the obsession ectoplasm stone, so it didn't feel like it. Obviously, but it does exist.

Only by using the force of the magnetic field to restrict it into some shapes and adding some materials that constrain the shape slightly on the outside can the power of plasma be better exerted.

The Zerg muscles on Chen Ming's body were twisted into extremely solid blocks, and he used his huge body power to throw out the almost substantial plasma spear.

Continuous plasma explosions extended from the trajectory of Chen Ming's spear to the front of the totem pole.

The moment the plasma spear hit, it did not pass through directly like before.

The small amount of Zerg horn that Chen Ming made to restrain the plasma spear exploded at the moment of impact.

The powerful explosion directly collapsed the passage of the laboratory, completely burying the totem pole in the ruins.

It can be seen that even the restrained spear-type plasma will escape in large quantities and react with the surrounding environment, causing the energy used for the main attack to attenuate.

However, Chen Ming's restriction effect was not bad, at least the power of the explosion was concentrated near the totem pole.

However, before he could be happy about the power of this spear, he heard another movement from inside the ruins.

All the metal structures on the ruins of the collapsed laboratory were pulled by a magnetic force, which took away most of the collapsed soil. The collapsed passages were rebuilt, revealing the appearance of an almost undamaged totem pole.

Only some of the arms and limbs that make up the trunk showed some signs of damage, and there were no other injuries at all.

Not even a scratch was left on the charming face where the spear hit directly.

Chen Ming's heart sank, and the plasma spear in his hand condensed again.

This time the glow of plasma flashing on the spear he condensed was even more dazzling than before.

However, as a flash of light and a series of roars of explosions occurred, the situation was no different from before.

The effect of this spear is not even as good as before.

His plasma couldn't kill the monster.

And at this moment, the totem pole is adapting to the new electromagnetic capabilities at an alarming rate.

The chaotic fluctuations on it have disappeared, and can even interfere with Chen Ming's release of plasma to a certain extent.

Plasma is actually an effect extended by the power of a magnetic field, but it requires some additional assistance. A pure magnetic field cannot create plasma.

However, as the magnetic field is a part of the plasma, interference can still be achieved using only the magnetic field.

Moreover, An Wuping's plasma is not psychic energy, but plasma manually created by body organs.

Such an ordinary ability is inherently at a disadvantage compared to psychic abilities.

Not to mention two abilities that are relatively close in nature.

Chen Ming tried to condense the spear again, but this time, the spear was not even as bright as the first spear.

After Totem Pole completely mastered the electromagnetic ability, it was difficult for An Wuping's prosthetic ability to cause effective damage to this thing.

A little troublesome.

At this time, Chen Ming could still clearly feel that the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations belonging to the totem pole around him were constantly expanding, and the spiritual energy fluctuations of the spiritual beast were almost invisible.

His biggest enemy now is this totem pole.

How to fight?
How to defeat such a monster that can be said to be a perfect counterweight to An Wuping?
It is known that direct melee combat is seeking death, and the ability to use plasma is also restrained to death.

Even if he could blow up the entire laboratory directly, he probably wouldn't be able to restrain this monster who also has the ability to control magnetic fields.

Moreover, it was the effect that Chen Ming had just exerted, and it had just absorbed the psyker and entered a brief period of chaos before barely causing a little damage.

Where could he find another psyker?
Chen Ming had the answer in his mind when he thought about this question.

But An Wuping's prosthesis took him a lot of effort to make, so he couldn't just give An Wuping away.

I'll have to see if there are other opportunities.

Chen Ming stopped confronting the totem pole and turned around to retreat towards the periphery of the laboratory.

Totem Pole followed immediately, and while constantly killing leftist elements outside the laboratory who failed to evacuate the laboratory, they continued to advance towards Chen Ming.

The totem pole does not even need to be seen by the left-wing elements. As long as its spiritual energy wave spreads and contacts those left-wing elements, their limbs will break on their own and the whole person will become part of the totem pole.

As more and more left-wing molecules on the periphery of the laboratory are killed by totem poles, the diameter and length of the totem pole have more than doubled compared to when they first appeared.

If the laboratory space were not large enough, the passages between the laboratories might not be able to accommodate this size.

But since Chen Ming had tried it before and physical methods were ineffective, then the totem pole should actually have the ability to ignore obstacles.

I just don’t know why the totem pole is still following the path he took.

And as the size of the totem pole grew, Chen Ming found that its speed became faster and faster, and the limbs under it were obviously stronger than before.

Chen Ming was forced to speed up his pace.

Things were gradually developing towards a situation he didn't want to see.

Unconsciously, Chen Ming had approached the door of the laboratory's inclined passage leading to the outside world.

Without thinking much, he took a different path near the gate and circled back towards the deepest part of the laboratory.

This totem pole was obviously close to the gate, but it didn't take the opportunity to leave. It still followed. It looks like only one of it and Chen Ming can survive today.

Although the totem pole can use psychic energy to interfere with Chen Ming, it really can't kill Chen Ming without getting close.

In other words, if Chen Ming wants to run away, he can actually leave directly and get on the spaceship, and the totem pole will no longer have the ability to track him.

But Chen Ming didn't want to think that he would have to solve the trouble himself.

Just when Chen Ming was taking the totem pole in a circle, he was thinking about what other methods he could use to deal with this monster.

He circled back to where he first entered the laboratory.

And here, he suddenly discovered a strange place.

The spiritual energy fluctuations of the psychic beast are actually being absorbed by the totem pole.

This is either a completely unrelated or even somewhat repulsive feeling to the spiritual beast and dimensional infection, or the spiritual energy fluctuations of the totem pole are absorbing and transforming the spiritual energy fluctuations of the spiritual beast.

Chen Ming was shocked and immediately sensed the remaining mental power he had left along the way.

The results are horrific.

The remaining psychic fluctuations during his actions, that is, the psychic fluctuations of the Insect Queen, are also being absorbed by the totem pole.

It’s no wonder that just during this period of being tracked, the totem pole had already shown some signs of increased physical strength.

It will slowly absorb the psychic energy fluctuations escaping in the surrounding environment, not just by eating psykers.

In the process of any psyker fighting the totem pole, his abilities will gradually become part of the totem pole.

Isn't this a little scary?
The more he thought about it, the more Chen Ming felt that the power of this totem pole made it difficult to think of a suitable solution.

And just when the totem pole absorbed more and more psychic energy fluctuations, Chen Ming saw that the top of the totem pole monster suddenly tore apart without any warning.

A new face poked out from the crack and twisted, forming a mask-like face with the appearance of An Wuping.

The Queen's power was usurped by it.

Chen Ming felt horrified at this moment.

At this moment, the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations on the totem pole body appeared again.

Chen Ming knew this was his only chance left.

All the energy in An Wuping's body was used by him to convert plasma.

All the converted plasma was condensed into a small ball with a diameter of no more than ten centimeters in the palm of Chen Ming's hand.

An extremely magnificent ball of light exuding a destructive aura.

The light ball formed by excess plasma was thrown by Chen Ming.

A light of annihilation flickered beneath the laboratory floor.

A light that could blind everyone filled the entire laboratory.

This time the plasma did not explode, but silently annihilated all existences that came into contact with this light.

Even Chen Ming couldn't see clearly what was happening to the totem pole in front of the light.

After a long time, this plasma beam finally dissipated.

The laboratory did not collapse.

The surrounding soil and rocks that have not been in direct contact with the light of annihilation, but have been almost burned into glass, still support the laboratory.

The appearance of the totem pole appeared in front of Chen Ming again.

The plasma ball he used up almost all his energy to create did indeed have an effect.

The severed arms on the totem pole's torso were broken into large pieces, revealing the bright red and obviously surviving various organs inside.

A large number of organs poured to the ground as the gap in the torso appeared. It seemed that Chen Ming's attack method had indeed caused serious damage to the totem pole.

However, Chen Ming didn't have time to rejoice yet.

At the bottom of the totem pole, the arms that had worn away their fingers during movement suddenly began to twitch and move. They reluctantly picked up the internal organs on the ground and smashed themselves to fill the wounds caused by the plasma just now.

Chen Ming's face darkened and he held his right hand empty.

He was already using spiritual energy to transfer Zerg energy crystals to An Wuping to replenish the energy he had just consumed.

But another terrible thing happened to the totem pole.

Just a few seconds after its lost internal organs were stuffed in, its limbs had already repaired the gaps.

And as the psychic energy fluctuations of the Insect Queen emerged on its body, those wounds healed naturally.

After all, the body-strengthening spiritual energy provided by the Insect Queen is comprehensive, and the speed of recovery from injuries is also a part of the body's strength.

It was originally a very useful psychic power for Chen Ming, but he didn't expect that it would be so disgusting when used on hostile beings.

Chen Ming's heart has completely sunk.

But he had no intention of retreating.

The Insect Queen's psychic energy had been absorbed by An Wuping without being eaten, but he still had one more chance.

At this time, there was no living person in the entire Zuojia Laboratory.

All monitoring equipment is also under his control, and he can use his own psychic powers at will.

This is the last, only chance.

If he fails, he may personally cultivate an even more terrifying monster that possesses his psychic powers, the insect queen's psychic powers, and the other three abilities.

The consequences may not be something he can bear.

But Chen Ming no longer thought about it at this time.

He didn't want to think about the consequences if this thing failed, he had to rely on instinct to fight.

This is what he did when he encountered a desperate situation in the past. If he hadn't instinctively told him to use the Word of Madness ectoplasm stone to hedge against the spiritual nerves, he would have died on Zuojing's experimental table.

So now he plans to ignore everything and just believe in himself and his own instincts.

Just do what his instincts tell him to do.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and released his own spiritual energy fluctuations.

The totem pole that was still chasing Chen Ming speeded up its movements a lot in an instant. Although there were no obvious expressions on its four masked faces.

But Chen Ming could feel that it was thirsting for his spiritual energy.

Chen Ming has completely emptied his mind.

Huge amounts of psychic energy fluctuations are escaping inside the laboratory, and the entire laboratory is becoming his own country.

And in this process, the totem pole is desperately trying to absorb this unique spiritual energy that cannot leave any residue of spiritual energy fluctuations.

Only two minutes had passed before the top of the totem pole was torn apart by itself once again.

But this time, the situation seemed a little different from before.

The torn flesh and blood tissue has yet to condense into a new face. Instead, it continues to flow blood to the outside world and continuously loses the spiritual energy fluctuations belonging to the totem pole itself.

The totem pole cannot replicate Chen Ming's psychic power, and it cannot transform Chen Ming's psychic power into a part of it.

The complexity of Chen Ming's psychic abilities cannot be replicated by any other creature or existence.

Suddenly, a large amount of dark organs and blood spurted out from the cracked wound that the totem pole tore open on its own.

It was vomiting, spitting out the spiritual energy fluctuations that belonged to Chen Ming.

As it did so, it also fell into a weaker position than before.

The Whispers of Madness ectoplasm is extreme in its psionic properties.

Although the obsession with ectoplasmic stone is neutral in nature, it is also very extreme.

The totem pole also seems to be an existence closely related to extremes.

But obviously, the nature of Chen Ming's psychic fluctuations is the most extreme.

At this moment, the dark beast, wrapped in a magnificent luster, suddenly appeared in front of the weak totem pole.

Instinct told Chen Ming that the totem pole at this moment no longer had the ability to kill him directly.

The luster on his body was due to the continuous supply of energy crystals from Chen Ming. The extremely concentrated plasma naturally escaped, and Chen Ming could no longer restrain the luster.

Chen Ming jumped up and jumped to the top of the totem pole. His clenched right fist rushed directly into the crack at the top of the totem pole.

"like to eat?"

Chen Ming loosened his grip on his right hand, and a ball of pure white light with an interior like a starry sky was stuffed into the body of the totem pole.

At this moment, Chen Ming felt danger again.

Not the danger from the totem pole, but the danger from the plasma he had just created.

Amid the sharp stinging sensation, Chen Ming immediately ran away from the totem pole, relying on the top-notch digging capabilities of the Zerg unit to hide deeper underground.

However, he didn't have time to hide in a position where there was no sense of danger at all.

There was a sudden tinnitus in his ears, coming from An Wuping, a prosthetic body that could withstand large weapons.

At this moment, An Wuping has absolutely no way to collect any effective information.

It could only be confirmed that An Wuping was still alive. Although hiding in advance could not completely escape the scope of the plasma, it was still useful.

Therefore, Chen Ming could only try to confirm the situation through monitoring around the laboratory.

However, looking back now, everything in the laboratory seems to have failed.

Chen Ming could only take a longer view and try to use the equipment of the Ecological Observation Space Station to observe the situation on the planet.

But soon, Chen Ming realized that there was no need to use the equipment on the space station.

Because now, only with the naked eye can you see the light that lights up on the surface of the planet like a star.

This terrifying plasma burst can be observed on the space station.
