Ascension journey - 740. Chapter 735 The first round of contact, not very friendly

The Scarlet King… have you spoken?

Facing this scene, the instinctive reaction of the mountain forest not long after the bloody killing was to take a step back and instantly immerse the spirit in the state of directly controlling the substitute action with consciousness.

The Crimson King floating in the air gave a boring tusk, his body rotated involuntarily and moved back under the compulsory command, and slammed two punches into the air, causing a whistling sound in the cave.

Seeing that the double turned and retreated to the limit of the shooting range and punched in the opposite direction according to his orders, the mountain forest, which had moved completely without his mind, calmed down.

He just came out of the reincarnation of the nightmare, a certain kind of traumatic sequelae similar to “there are always people trying to harm me” is far from healed, and when he encounters stimulating instincts, he begins to be vigilant and defensive.

However, the Double Crimson King does not seem to be completely out of control.

Shanlin shook his fist and found that the Scarlet King, who turned back in front, made the same gesture as he wished. He didn’t notice any resistance against his manipulation, so he slowly let go of his heart——

Judging from the situation just now when the air was drawn by the fist, the physical attack power of the substitute “Crimson King” is not high, at least it is not too threatening to him at present-even if he has not had time to adapt to the new demon body.

There are many passive protection and recovery skills for tanks.

However, why couldn’t he resist the Scarlet King directly controlled by him, and didn’t immediately execute the command he gave to “throw a punch at him” before?

And… why, this double has always acted like a puppet with no self-awareness, and didn’t suddenly speak until he met his command? Is the previous performance a deliberate disguise?

“Roughly vague orders, there is more room for the substitute to play freely,” seems to have insight into the host’s thoughts, the Crimson King shrugged his shoulders, his face is innocent, “As for why I suddenly awakened my self-consciousness…

“I think it may be that your order to’suicide’ is too stimulating for both of us.”

“Suicide order? What did you say I told you to punch me?” The mountains under the armor couldn’t see their faces, but from the cold snort, you could hear a trace of disdain, “Only your weak fist?”

“Haha, don’t get me wrong, this has nothing to do with the comparison between the strengths of you and me,” the Crimson King raised his index finger and gently swayed, saying meaningfully, “In this world, you and I are really One…

“Your life is my life, your soul is my soul, and vice versa-of course, the fundamental connection between the substitute and the host needs continuous digging to be gradually revealed. The same is true of the power that belongs to my Scarlet King, built on the basis of body and spirit.”

The mountain forest, who was about to question something, had a meal–

Vaguely, he tasted some extremely deep and complex flavors from the words of the Scarlet King…

But he failed to grasp the inspiration that came from nowhere.

At this moment, the Scarlet King raised his right arm and stretched it to his side——

“To prove that the close connection between us is actually very simple, and I think you need some intuitive feelings… just so, you also have the ability to bear such deep feelings.”

Shanlin was stunned, then his eyelids under his armor trembled.

An indescribable, invisible and invisible power flashed in front of him, as if the whole world had just dropped a frame.

Crimson King Ping’s right arm stretched out and disappeared instantly like a bursting bubble.

Without time to react and understand, Shanlin’s thoughts were interrupted by the sudden burst of pain.

Like a cat with exploded hair, he retreated to the forest at the exit of the cave in an instant, looking at the one-armed Scarlet King who was forced to pull it in front of him because he exceeded the limit range.

Rune armor made of precious materials from many worlds, the runes on its right arm were completely dimmed, Shanlin’s left hand pressed down on the right shoulder, his gaze passed through the armor, and saw the mud contained in it——

At the moment when the Crimson King used inexplicable means to damage his right arm, Shanlin’s rather slender arm under the burly armor was crushed into fragments of unknown size at the same moment, and the blood of the devil gushing out of his shoulders. Mixed into a pile of barely hand-shaped flesh.

After being shocked, Shan Lin fiercely squeezed his right fist-a powerful demon bloodline upgraded from the integration of multiple world materials, and within a few breaths, the devastating body damage was restored seven or eight.

It seems that if the material that constitutes the body hasn’t completely disappeared and scattered, is it a relatively simple thing for him to restore his life state now?

Feeling the process of the newborn body’s continuous repair of injuries, the forest raised his head to look at the Scarlet King.

In his heart, he did have an in-depth understanding of the current situation of both sides, but the vigilance and hostility hidden in his eyes were also rapidly rising.

Regarding this, the Crimson King remained silent on the surface, just moved the synchronized repaired right arm, but his heart was amazed——

Although Shanlin’s host looks cautious and thoughtful at first glance, if you look closely, you will find that this is actually a distortion of some kind of paranoia in his heart.

It has almost become the instinct of the mountain forest to isolate everything encountered from oneself and prioritize it into the category of hostility.

Especially at this time when the bloody end of the nightmare reincarnation has just been broken, Shanlin will not believe in any external person or thing, even if it is a stand-in that can be largely freely controlled by it, after showing a certain sense of self. , He also appeared extremely resistant.

This is not a resistance to uncontrollable forces, nor a stress response to just injury, but… the forest is closing his heart. He is looking forward to walking alone, instinctively not wanting to see someone who can truly interact with him. He communicated with…companion?

Is this considered social fear? Or… the sequelae of losing all of your teammates?

The Scarlet King shook his head slightly-perhaps the contact method he chose this time is not appropriate, and the next timeline may be changed to something more natural…

For example, show self-awareness from the beginning of the awakening of the substitute, or…really carry out the order of death without saying a word?

It’s a pity that the power of the substitute system in this world is not good enough to bypass the host and make a big mobilization, and the power on your side needs to be used less…

Before the frontline base is established and a stable and safe resource regeneration method is found, the consumption of a small amount of money is also a consumption. Otherwise, it will directly explode the multiple timelines of reality observation, select on the spot, or even edit and edit an optimal solution on the spot.

“Well, I understand why you didn’t carry out that order.” Shanlin lifted his alert posture for combat, and he stood up slowly, rubbing his right arm somewhat unhappily, “But… as you showed before. Strength, didn’t I have a huge weakness out of thin air?”

Without any reduction of damage synchronization, for a tank with high blood defense, it is indeed too disadvantageous-attacking a substitute is equivalent to completely ignoring his physical damage from armor to demon body to various defense skills. Relief.

“Relax,” if the Scarlet King smiled pointedly, “‘Only a substitute can defeat a substitute’. As long as you gradually adapt to the strength that I bring, I will not become your weakness. Take your life spirit as The basic me will become stronger as the connection between us deepens, and—in this world, there is no power that can threaten the nihilism substitute—

“I can sense in the torrent of fate that there is no other stand-in messenger in this world.”

This is the truth-the Crimson King who took over the stand-in system from a higher perspective did not observe the second “client”, at least the current world line is like this.

Shanlin groaned, and nodded after half the payment. After all, the “arrow” that allowed him to awaken his stand-in was a reward for the gods and demons, and he still had a spectrum of the power level displayed in the infinite space.

As an additional incarnation of his body and spirit, the mountain forest can vaguely feel the singular level of the avatar. The Crimson King should not be touched and destroyed by ordinary energy or mental attacks so easily.

Then, continue to the next topic to deepen your understanding——

“Have you used your abilities before? What is it? When you awakened your self-awareness, what additional memories did you bring? Do you know who you are and where you came from? In addition, did you get my memory?” Just now, the Scarlet King was “comprehensive” as if he was mind-reading, and Shanlin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, “…can you read my inner activities directly?”

“So many questions?” The Scarlet King said carefully, “That would be a long story…”
