Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 420: Throwing Yourself into the Abyss
Just as Chen Ming entered the scarlet dimension.

On the survivors' space station, the survivors who normally don't communicate much with each other gathered together again.

But this time it wasn't Nano who spoke first.

Instead, the survivor named Zhou Bo, who had refuted Nano many times in the last exchange, spoke first: "Chen Ming first destroyed the control core of the nanorobots, and then controlled these nanorobots."

"As long as there is psychic protection, Chen Ming's psychic power will be hindered. He is not as scary as we thought."

When Nano heard this, he immediately retorted: "He killed more than a hundred Leviathans in a row, and you say he is not that scary?"

Zhou Bo still has his own opinion: "He used all tricks. If Scarlet hadn't just restrained our biological Leviathan, plus the new super body, he wouldn't have been able to do this."

"The Scarlet Power is indeed a bit troublesome for us right now, but it is definitely not a problem that cannot be solved."

"As for the super-bodies, we also have ways to avoid them."

"This human, Chen Ming, is not that threatening at all."

Nano still had the idea of ​​communicating at this time and said: "Then why is our research on Scarlet still on the surface?"

"And taking advantage of others is also a way. All our Leviathans died at his hands. What basis do you have for making such a judgment? Is it just based on what you saw?"

"This is what we saw, isn't that enough?"

Zhou Bo asked back and continued, "And if it weren't for your wrong decision that caused all the Leviathans to disperse, we wouldn't have lost all of them in such a short time. In the end, there was only such a small achievement, and the impact on Chen Ming himself was almost zero."

Nano's tone gradually became faster. "The last time he entered the Scarlet and came out, he uprooted the power of that psyker who was so troublesome for us to deal with from the entire human empire."

"This proves that his mastery of the Crimson Power is definitely not much worse than that of the psychic. All the Leviathans gathered together?
"We can't use Leviathan to target that psychic, so how can we target Chen Ming?"

"The result will only be a situation where these Leviathans are controlled by the Scarlet Power and kill each other."

Zhou Bo directly denied the legitimacy of Nano's words in one sentence: "This is just the one-sided words of the psychic and your own imagination. What we see with our own eyes is the reality."

"I doubt that you are capable of continuing to lead us while the Queen is asleep. We should not continue to follow your plan."

"What you did was not to successfully use Leviathan to consume Chen Ming's state, then prepare for the assassination and then succeed. Instead, you prepared for failure."

"Tell me, why are you so sure we will fail?"

The space station was quiet for a long time.

This sentence almost questioned whether Nano deliberately allowed or even deliberately led Leviathan to failure.

Nano didn't argue.

Zhou Bo continued, "We can no longer retreat to the Queen's side after losing all the Leviathans. We should make achievements that will impress the Queen before she wakes up."

The silent Nano felt a surge of anger in his heart that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Why can't they let go of their past glory?

Why don't they have a clear understanding of the psykers in the human empire?

Why do they think that humans who can kill Leviathan are not that powerful?

Why do they feel that Chen Ming’s power is not enough of a threat to the survivors?

Why are you unwilling to make the decision to buy insurance, which is the least likely to lead to accidents?
Nano had already realized how powerful Chen Ming was during his communication and several attempts with him, powerful beyond his experience.

He was aware of the threat Chen Ming posed to the survivors, and even the queen could be defeated.

It's just that he has no solid evidence to prove it.

And the queen has been sleeping tens of thousands of years ago.

When she wakes up again, if she does not have a clear understanding of Chen Ming, the future of the survivors will probably be completely plunged into darkness.

He must let all the survivors and the Queen who has not yet awakened have a clear understanding of Chen Ming's combat effectiveness.

He wanted to test Chen Ming's spiritual power more and use the tragic results to exchange for the awakening of other survivors.

But no survivors could understand his thoughts.

He had already made Chen Ming expose as much of his special power as possible under the premise of creating as many results as possible, but the result...

It was also impossible for him to express his disrespectful thoughts towards the Queen.

He could only remain silent and use his remaining prestige to end this communication.

Give it a little more time, and time will give the answer to all the survivors.

But...will there still be time?
Through the invisible nanorobots suspended in the vast universe, Nano is monitoring what is happening on the urban planet at this moment.

When Chen Ming returns from the scarlet again, who will be Chen Ming's next target?
Nano had nothing to say.

The survivors' space station also returned to silence.

At this time, Chen Ming was still face to face with the Scarlet Heart in the Scarlet Dimension.

While feeling the huge pressure in his heart, he asked the brainwashed psychic: "So you have experienced this before?"

"Correct."

The brainwashed psychic is still as honest as ever.

"What's the result?"

The brainwashed psychic responded calmly: "Haven't you seen it all?"

"But I can see more clearly what is in your consciousness space."

Hearing this, the brainwashed psychic's expression changed drastically in an instant.

He was silent for a while and then said, "You are really smart."

"That's right, I couldn't defeat it, and it couldn't defeat me either."

"You should be able to guess what I would do when I just awakened such a psychic power."

"As you do more and more, your bottom line will certainly get lower and lower."

"So, without any restraint or bottom line, I should be one of the first people to be exposed to the scarlet infection and the scarlet dimension."

"That's why I was very weak when I entered the Crimson Dimension and came into contact with the Crimson Brain. At least I wasn't as strong as you are now."

"Although the Scarlet Brain is not as strong as your heart, but... although it is hard to admit, I am indeed too weak."

"It was Scarlet that made me like this."

Chen Ming thought about it and felt that the words of the brainwashed psychic should be believable.

When a person awakens such a spiritual power, there are already many examples of what he will do, which once only existed in imagination.

And when a person breaks the bottom line, his desires will be infinitely magnified.

So he became a brainwashed psychic.

The following words can basically be believed.

Because Chen Ming has personally investigated and experienced many cases of brainwashing psychics.

It is clear that the psychic powers of brainwashed psychics are very unstable, which just fits the situation he described.

But talking about this matter at this time, it seems a little wrong.

"So you're here to make it so that I can't defeat this thing?"

"That's not it."

The brainwashed psychic immediately denied Chen Ming's guess: "Its target is you now, but if I intervene, the target will become me. I don't want to have a fight with this thing."

"And what I just said is that you can't kill me today, not that I will kill you today."

"I just wanted to see what would happen if you ran into this monster."

"Don't worry about me. No matter who wins, I won't do anything. I won't have enough time to run away."

Chen Ming took a close look at the brainwashed psychic. Although he could not get any valuable information from him, he felt that he should trust him temporarily.

So Chen Ming temporarily ignored the brainwashed psychic beside him and faced the trembling scarlet heart directly.

Scarlet Heart seemed to have become excited after getting close to Chen Ming.

The heavy beating sound became more frequent and louder.

Every heartbeat made Chen Ming feel like his heart was being impacted.

It was as if he had returned to the underground laboratory where the afterglow of the past had appeared, and personally felt the pain of the heartbeat that almost tore his chest apart.

In the past, Chen Ming could only hold it in and find a way to fix his deformed heart as quickly as possible.

But now Chen Ming has other options.

He closed his eyes and his consciousness left his body.

He abandoned his body and threw it out of the space rift behind him.

The pull of the Abyssal Rift on the Crimson Heart is directed towards the mind, not the body.

It’s a pity that after Chen Ming threw his body out of the rift, his idea of ​​using the ability to split consciousness to transfer his main consciousness to the body he just threw out failed to come true.

The suction force pulled him firmly into the scarlet dimension.

Today, one of them is bound to fall.

Chen Ming looked up at Scarlett, took a deep breath, and looked at the crack behind him.

He immediately used his mental power to contact the Queen of Insects.

The space rift had not closed at this time, so the Queen of Insects responded quite quickly.

And at the moment it received Chen Ming's order.

He followed Chen Ming's request and instantly killed the consciousness of a large number of Zerg individuals.

Crush the spiritual power emitted by their sub-individual consciousness when they died into pure spiritual power and hand it over to Chen Ming.

By draining the consciousness of individual Zerg, their spiritual power is forcibly seized.

In exchange for Chen Ming's own mental strength recovering in a short period of time.

Brutal, but efficient.

Moreover, the remnants of individual Zerg consciousness mixed in the mental power will have some impact on Chen Ming's consciousness.

However, these shocks were nothing compared to the scarlet that Chen Ming had to face.

Chen Ming's mental power, which was originally in a semi-exhausted state, instantly recovered in just a few seconds, and even a large amount of mental power escaped.

A circle of light visible to the naked eye in the scarlet dimension was formed and wrapped around Chen Ming.

"really!"

The brainwashed psychic hiding nearby suddenly spoke up, and at the same time he was thankful in his heart that he did not commit suicide.

If he had really gone to cause trouble for Chen Ming with the idea that Chen Ming was extremely weak, then he would be the target of Chen Ming's use of this method.

And it could be much worse.

He had reason to believe that Chen Ming had more tricks up his sleeve. If he was really careless, he would not even know how he died.

Chen Ming didn't care about the brainwashed psychic's words and sealed the space rift he had torn open.

The brainwashed psychic at the side said at this time: "A last-ditch fight? So decisive?"

"I just don't want to see such monsters involved in the normal universe."

"Actually, no. Its current target is just you. It won't have any other targets before it controls you."

"Row."

Chen Ming tore open the crack again and reconnected his mental power with the normal universe.

Although Chen Ming still has a few pieces of underwear, at least they have not been stripped off completely yet.

But if you can use fewer trump cards in front of the enemy, it is better to use less.

As long as his mental strength can remain normal, Chen Ming, as a psychic, will always have the possibility to counterattack without relying on trump cards.

At this time, the Scarlet Heart was almost in front of Chen Ming, but for some reason it did not use any offensive means.

Only the crack in the center of the heart was emitting a powerful attraction, trying to suck Chen Ming into the crack.

During the process just now, Chen Ming had been trying to create some distance.

However, the result was not ideal. Even though only his conscious body was left, he still could not get rid of this power.

Moreover, Chen Ming didn't know what to do with such a huge scarlet heart for a moment.

All he could do was use the same methods he had used before to deal with Scarlet's purpose.

The power of the phase is once again gathered in the hands.

At the same time, other phase forces were entangled in Chen Ming's body, trying to block the influence of that attraction.

However, just as Chen Ming was gathering the phase power, the power he gathered was instantly torn apart by a psychic force coming from his heart.

Chen Ming himself was not affected at all, but looking at the broken blue spots of light around him, his expression became increasingly heavy.

He gave up using his phase powers.

He chose to use his pure mental power to form a shield to hinder the attraction.

However, just at the moment when Chen Ming's mental shield was generated.

A surge of mental power surged out from the Scarlet Heart, like a giant hand holding Chen Ming tightly and continuously exerting enormous grip force.

The mental power that Chen Ming used to form a shield was being violently offset at a terrifying speed.

This consumption rate is dozens of times higher than Chen Ming's recovery rate of mental strength.

Almost instantly, Chen Ming's mental strength, which had just been restored by the death of a large number of Zerg individuals, was consumed by more than half.

The steel jungle in his consciousness space once again appeared the rusty iron red color.

Chen Ming was forced to give up the shield formed by his mental power to block this influence, and could only allow the attraction to grow stronger and stronger.

If he continues like this, he will fall into the abyss sooner or later.

The pressure in Chen Ming's heart was growing, while the expression of the brainwashed psychic who was watching the show on the side became more and more excited.

This scene looked very familiar to him. He had also encountered the Scarlet Brain before.

All the power he possessed was replicated on the Scarlet Brain, and was suppressed by the more powerful Scarlet Power.

At that time, he was even more embarrassed than Chen Ming.

Because the Scarlet Brain is more aggressive than the Heart.

But looking at the current situation, the heart will bring Chen Ming a more tragic ending than him.

The Brainwashed Psyker really wanted to help Scarlet Heart at this time.

But he really didn't dare to do it, because what he just said was true.

Once he intervenes in the battle between Chen Ming and Scarlet Heart, Scarlet Heart will definitely kill him first.

And if either side wins, the survivor will gain the power of the other side.

It would be even more impossible for him to do anything now.

So he now extremely hopes that the Scarlet Heart can kill Chen Ming quickly. If the opposite happens, he will have to continue lurking in the Scarlet Heart for who knows how many years before he can regain the power to attack the normal universe.

At this time, Chen Ming had no time to care about the brainwashed psychic.

When the means of obstruction are completely ineffective.

His only option now was to kill Scarlet Heart before the pull of the rift became so great that he was completely unable to resist.

Chen Ming abandoned all defenses just to create a more powerful means of attack.

A large amount of metallic liquid appeared around him, forming a giant mechanical arm in the scarlet dimension. It wrapped his spiritual power and punched the scarlet heart suspended in the scarlet.

The mental power on the giant mechanical arm was instantly wiped out by the same mental shock.

However, the impact of this punch successfully hit the side of the heart.

The entire heart was hit so hard that it dented completely.

Immediately afterwards, countless liquid metals appeared in the scarlet.

These metal liquids are no longer just a means of purely physical attack such as forming robotic arms.

Instead, it constitutes a wide variety of different types of ship weapons.

Chen Ming manufactured everything from large weapons to main-class weapons to the Titan-class weapons that are currently being tested, and attacked the Scarlet Heart from different angles at the same time.

The scarlet dimension, which was originally pure blood red, now has a colorful picture for a moment.

Just the next one.

This colorful scene was completely swallowed up by the deep crack in the heart.

Among all the attacks launched by weapons that Chen Ming spent a lot of resources to manufacture in a short period of time, only the first punch from the giant mechanical arm caused effective damage to the Scarlet Heart.

But... the damage was repaired in an instant.

The blunt injuries and abrasions caused by the robotic arm's punch had all disappeared.

Scarlet Heart just stood there and endured it all silently.

It seemed as if it could not feel any pain at all.

Its only reaction was to continue to speed up its own beat.

Chen Ming suddenly covered his chest.

He felt a heart in his chest beating along with the Scarlet Heart.

But now he is just a conscious being.

What's more, his consciousness was originally an extremely chaotic and unsightly existence.

It’s just that Chen Ming forced all kinds of strange things into this human body.

He has no heart at all.

But I could feel my chest beating.

at this time.

It can be said that the Scarlet Heart did almost nothing from beginning to end. It simply wiped out the power that both he and Chen Ming had, maintaining a fair environment between it and Chen Ming.

But just this alone brought terrible psychological pressure to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming is still using liquid metal to continuously construct new robotic arms around the heart, trying to kill it physically.

However, the situation has not changed.

No matter it is a blunt attack, a piercing attack, or a cutting attack, it cannot cause critical damage to the Scarlet Heart.
The heart is still beating slowly but steadily there.

It tolled like a slow death knell.

Chen Ming suddenly abandoned all the mechanical structures and took them away.

Then, a spherical object that could be held in one hand appeared in his hand.

The moment Chen Ming injected his mental power into it, a destructive psychic energy wave appeared in his hands.

But the moment Chen Ming locked this destructive wave on his heart.

The Scarlet Heart also emanated psychic energy fluctuations with a destructive aura.

Chen Ming subconsciously widened his eyes.

The hands holding the core of destruction were trembling slightly.

Just a layer of destruction barrier for self-protection has caused instability in the surrounding space.

The brainwashed psychic next to him retreated a considerable distance in a very short time, just to ensure that he could observe what happened next and never get involved.

He really didn't expect that Chen Ming would have this thing in his hands.

And Chen Ming definitely not only has this thing in his hand, he also definitely possesses the power of destruction.

Because this is the price that those who master the scarlet power must pay when using the scarlet power.

If Scarlet Heart has this power, Chen Ming must have it as well.

However, the brainwashed psychic was a little relaxed at this time.

It was the existence of this destructive force that made him no longer see the possibility of Chen Ming winning this battle.

At this time, Chen Ming was forced to give up using the destruction core.

The destructive power of the heart was far greater than that of a core in his hand.

He could only once again call upon the basic spatial power he possessed, trying to distort space to cause damage to the Scarlet Heart.

But, no effect.

Chen Ming tried to use his psychic power on the space around the Scarlet Heart, but he was unable to distort the space in the slightest.

This scarlet space has long been fixed by the heart's own spatial ability, and any idea of ​​distorting the space cannot proceed.

Unless other dimensions are involved.

At this time, Chen Ming once again closed the gap he had torn between the scarlet and phase space.

This time, he really intended to fight to the death.

Chen Ming closed his eyes and put aside all unnecessary thoughts.

Finally, he called upon the scarlet power he possessed to form a layer of blood-red material shield around him.

This time, Chen Ming's power finally worked, successfully delaying the time he was dragged into the rift by gravity.

The Scarlet Heart was unable to break through this layer of shield.

But that doesn't make the slightest sense.

Simply delaying time cannot change what is about to happen.

and.

It seemed that it was because Chen Ming called upon the scarlet power this time that the Scarlet Heart seemed to have broken through some kind of power node.

The surface of the heart no longer had only some fine blood vessels and that crack, but countless black and red lines appeared on the heart, as if solidified blood.

The shapes of these lines look extremely similar to the lines on the Phase Beast.

Chen Ming quickly stopped using the scarlet power.

At present, these lines are just lines on Kale.

But if he continues to use Scarlet's power, something bad will definitely happen.

It seems that Chen Ming has no other means to use.

The brainwashed psychic seemed to have seen Chen Ming's death.

But Chen Ming was still not so panicked as to lose his composure.

His danger-sense psychic ability was still alerting him.

Telling him that there is great danger in the rift.

But this danger is not a direct risk of death.

Chen Ming turned his head and glanced at the brainwashed psychic in the distance.

Give up resisting the force of attraction.

Throw yourself into the abyss.
