The main reason Jiang Qiao came to this dungeon was because he was curious about Alma's weapon that could cause the Holy Spirit to go berserk.
Alma the Divine Spear's answer was simple and direct. It was a strengthening hormone that boosted the body's magic, Extraordinary power and physical attributes at the same time, the kind that could double a dragon's combat ability with a single shot.
But at the same time, it had huge side effects. It basically meant that the body would break down and the mind would go berserk.
Jiang Qiao had done a good job of protecting the Holy Spirit. Hai Lan had consumed the Holy Spirit's enhancements that exceeded the body's limits, but the enhancement of skills was still evident. The most direct effect was that the Players would not be able to control their own skills.
At the same time, the Players would be drained many times over. It would be like cooking meat in a black pot and sleeping for three days and three nights.
But if the Perpetual Sanctum were to use large amounts of this hormone in future battles against the Holy Spirit, Jiang Qiao was not sure if the Players would be able to control their own power.
The inventor of this hormone was the rabbit-eared Tartano who stood before Jiang Qiao.
The rabbit-eared professor was also on the list of talents that Alma needed to rebuild the Perpetual Sanctum. So …
"You're Tartano?
You're the supervisor? "
Of course, Qi Junzi did not forget the mission that Alma had entrusted to her. She began to confirm the rabbit-eared professor's identity.
"You know me?
But the power in you is too dangerous. Just a little stimulation and you have the urge to go berserk. Can you step aside?
I want to talk to the Holy Spirit behind you. "
The rabbit-eared professor did not seem to want to communicate too much with Qi Junzi. Her arrogance had successfully angered Qi Junzi.
After confirming the other party's identity and rank, Qi Junzi did not waste any more time and appeared behind the rabbit-eared professor in a flash.
She took out the powerful stun effect that Alma had given her and covered the rabbit-eared professor's face with it.
This action was so neat that it could be said to be professional, which made Jiang Qiao wonder if Gentleman Qi had practiced this skill before.
The rabbit-eared doctor did not expect to be kidnapped when she came to the Path of Ascension to watch the performance of the Holy Spirit. She could not resist and fainted on the ground.
"What … What did you do?" The Goddess of Holy Light could not bear to watch Gentleman Qi's actions any longer.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Gentleman Qi took out the Hyperspace Recovery Device that Alma gave her and pressed it on the back of the sleeping Tartano.
The Hyperspace Recycling Device was still running, and a green signal was displayed on this black box-like device, but this green signal did not last long before it turned into a red warning.
"This thing can break?"
It was Qi Junzi's first time using the Super Space Recycling Device, but it was clear that it wasn't an error in the program, but in the character she recycled.
Tarano, who was supposed to have fainted, suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes abruptly. Tarano's originally emerald green pupils suddenly turned dark grey. Not only her pupils, even the whites of her eyes turned dark grey.
"Hyperspace Recycling Device?"
Tartano's voice was filled with a man's voice that did not match her at all. "Alma, that guy, actually dared to use the thing I invented against me?"
The aura had changed!
Not only had the aura changed, but the ID above Tartano's head had also changed from "Researcher Tartano" to "Ruler, Grey Eye". At the same time, the ID color had changed from neutral yellow to hostile red.
The consciousness of this researcher had been invaded by another ruler of the Perpetual Sanctum!
"Trouble!
Hey!
Stay away from that guy! "Jiang Qiao immediately dropped the popcorn in his hand and shouted at Gentleman Qi.
The other ruler of the Perpetual Sanctum, Jiang Qiao, did not even know what ability he had.
However, Zhao Mingwei's actions were one step faster than Jiang Qiao's shout. Before Grey Eye, who had occupied Tartano's body, could do anything, Zhao Mingwei had already rushed out and pinned Tartano's body to the ground.
"The last descendant of the God Eater?
A group of dangerous monsters trying to unite the gods and my people? "
Grey Eye's voice sounded full of sarcasm. He looked at the people of the Perpetual Sanctum and the gods of the Order Sanctum who had entrusted the holy spirits to train on their behalf. "Then I'll let you see the original appearance of this group of monsters and beasts."
The moment Zhao Mingwei heard this, his pupils shrank. He realized that attacking Tartano's body was useless. A powerful force spread out with Tartano's body as the center.
This force caused the Psychic Beasts in Zhao Mingwei's body to boil and become extremely violent. However, Zhao Mingwei suppressed the Psychic Beasts in his body, but the other players who logged in with the game pods were different.
"Jun Ru!" Zhao Mingwei realized the danger and instantly shouted at Gentleman Qi who was not far away.
However, Gentleman Qi had already covered her right hand that was sealed with the Demon-Sealing Orb. Her face showed a painful expression. In just three short seconds, the power of the demonic sword sealed in the Demon-Sealing Orb was completely released.
Gentleman Qi's mana was rapidly reduced … Her left hand was instantly turned into a dark blue "demonic hand".
The uncontrollable power of the demonic sword was released with Gentleman as the center. Mo Shigui immediately stood in front of the people who had entrusted the mission, but the Goddess of Holy Light was still injured by the demonic sword power in Gentleman Qi's body.
The Goddess of Holy Light's armor was instantly shattered by this force, and in the instant that she used the silver holy sword to block the impact, her entire body was covered in wounds that looked like sword scars, and large amounts of pale golden blood flowed out of these wounds.
"Look carefully, the God Eater is such a monster. It will devour all life that comes close to it. These weak original human souls can't even restrain the violent power of the God Eater."
Grey Eye climbed up from the ground. Zhao Mingwei had already run to Gentleman Qi's side and tried to control the berserk power of Gentleman Qi, but it was useless.
"Hai Lan!"
"Jiang Qiao, think of a way."
"Aren't you the f * cking game server?
Shouldn't you be the one to think of a way to increase the players' stats? "
If not for the others, Jiang Qiao might have grabbed Hai Lan and asked her to quickly absorb the overflowing power of the players.
Normally, when playing with VR equipment, the output of the players' body was controlled by the system. This control was manifested in the "skill cooldown", "skill channeling", and "stiffening when releasing skills".
For example, the Sword Master's Awakening needed a whole day to cool down, but Grey Eye had just used an unknown power to remove this limitation. The power stored in Gentleman Qi's body poured out like a flood.
Gentleman Qi's body and mind definitely couldn't take it!
Gentleman Qi wasn't the only one in the worst situation. The thirty-seven players who were using the game pods had also entered a berserk state. They couldn't control the overflowing power in their bodies at all.
"I … I can consume the excess power, but I can't tell if it's the players' souls or the power I've shared with them. It's all mixed together, so if I consume it all, they'll turn into a vegetable if it's serious, or they'll lose their memories if it's not serious." Hai Lan was also anxious.
"Unplug the network cable and get all the players who lost control offline!" Jiang Qiao made his last resort.
"I … I understand!"
Hai Lan obeyed Jiang Qiao's decision. In an instant, thirty-five players in Jiang Qiao's team logged out of the game.
Gentleman Qi was one of them. After losing control of her body, she collapsed into Zhao Mingwei's arms.
However, it was only a lifeless body in Zhao Mingwei's arms. Zhao Mingwei raised his head and looked at Grey Eye who controlled Tartano with a horrified gaze.
"You didn't lose control of your power?
But there aren't many Holy Spirits like you … Do you really think this power belongs to you?
Unfortunately, you're just the dogs of the God-Eater God. You'd better keep your chains on. "Grey Eye mocked Zhao Mingwei without any hesitation.
But before Zhao Mingwei could do anything, he was pressed to the ground by another person … It was Caramel.
Caramel was also using the game pod to log into the game, but he didn't lose control of his power at all.
"You're Grey Eye?"
Caramel used his knee to press his cheek against the ground, while his Moonlight Sword was pressed against his throat.
"You've heard of my name?
Did that traitor Alma tell you? "He didn't mind chatting with the Holy Spirits.
"It was Thorne. He said to show no mercy if we meet on the Path of Ascension," Caramel said.
"Path of Ascension?
It's impossible for you to kill me on the Path of Ascension. That traitor Thorne has long been locked up in the Eternal Slumber Prison of the Creator's Sanctum. He'll be locked up forever. Forget about him!
You won't see him again. "
"Then I'll go to the Eternal Slumber Prison and kill you!
I'll also rescue that guy from the prison! "Caramel's voice gradually turned cold.
"Is that so?
You'd better learn how to walk first!
Beasts of the God-Eater God. "
The moment Grey Eye said this, Caramel's hand that was holding the Moonlight Sword trembled. She almost stabbed it, but Caramel still controlled her body.
The gray color in Tartano's pupils gradually faded …
"Holy … Holy Spirit?
I like your bodies, but … I don't like being held down by you like this … "She said to Caramel, confused.
Caramel retracted her sword and stood up from Tartano's body. She reached out and pulled him up, then activated the Hyperspace Recovery Device on her back.
Caramel also received the Recovery Quest from Alma.
On the other side, Director Silver stood on the barren land, watching the Clearers suddenly disappear. The scene of the Clearers losing control of their power ten seconds ago was still fresh in his mind.
He glanced at the series of scarlet system announcements. That was the disruption of the network due to the abnormal connection of the Clearers.
After thinking for a short while, Director Silver dialed Air Bubble's number.
"How was it?
How was the Hotpot Prince test?
Did the Guild Players get addicted to the gaming pods because of the gaming pods? "Air Bubble sounded like he was looking forward to Director Silver's feedback.
"It failed. The gaming pods are defective. Or … we are …"
Defective.
Director Silver couldn't say this out loud, but it was a fact that the Players couldn't completely control their power. He had invited experts from various clubs, so the Clearers had been very smooth at first.
The Gods from various clubs had displayed 150% of their combat power in the gaming pods. Director Silver was looking forward to their performance in the future.
But everything went out of control. The Berserker Players couldn't control their body movements, the Ghost God of Devil May Cry Players began to aim the butcher's knife at their teammates, the Elementalist Mage's Mana began to expand, and the screams of the Players in the chat channel made Director Silver realize that perhaps they could control their power in battle.
But when they met an enemy that could make the Players' power go berserk, it would be a disaster for the Holy Spirits.
And the Eternal Saints had more than one such enemy, and they even had the equipment to do so!
"Air Bubble, tell Dispute's parent company to stop the plan to market the gaming pods," Director Silver said.
"This … can't be stopped. Hotpot Prince, we've already advertised it, and the factory has been operating for a long time," Air Bubble said with a bit of guilt.
"Didn't I tell you to confirm the safety of playing Holy Spirits in the gaming pods before letting them start advertising?" Director Silver was really angry this time.
"It's very safe, and everyone is very happy using it. Just being able to touch the real Freya would be able to sell like hotpots."
"Stop production!
Contact the parent company now!
Right now, the Players can't completely control … "As Director Silver was shouting at Air Bubble, a hand suddenly grabbed the arm that Director Silver had placed beside his ear.
This hand was Black Wok Roast Meat. Black Wok Roast Meat and Sweeping Clouds were the only players who could control their power under the influence of this berserk power.
"Director Silver, you … how long are you going to run away?" Black Wok Roast Meat stared at Director Silver and asked.
"It's not that I'm running away, but there are obviously some characters among our enemies that can make the Players in the gaming pods lose control. In the future, if we meet such characters in the Creation Sanctum …"
"Just run away?"
"…"
"Not everyone is like that monster Master Xiao, who can reach the Second Awakening Realm just by relying on VR equipment. The gaming pods make me feel like a real Roaming Gunner, and let everyone experience what it feels like to be an Elementalist Mage, Berserker, Swordsman, and Exorcist!
Do you think that after experiencing what it feels like to be a hero, there will still be people willing to be ordinary … ordinary people? "
"We are all ordinary people …" Director Silver sat down on the wasteland helplessly. The surrounding Abyss Army gradually surrounded them, and Director Silver raised his head to look at the gloomy sky and said, "But the Holy Spirit game gave us the chance to be heroes, so … there is no reason to let go of this opportunity. It's just that this is the product I'm in charge of … I can't let it have hidden dangers that could threaten the personal safety of the customers."
"You're not the dog producer of the Holy Spirit. This should be solved by the dog producer of the Holy Spirit, right?" Black Wok Roast Meat used the perfect method of shifting the blame.
Seems like it?
The gaming pods aren't just for playing the Holy Spirit. What does it have to do with the gaming pods if there's a problem with the players playing the Holy Spirit?
But Director Silver wasn't the kind of person who liked to shift the blame. He knew that the blame existed no matter who it was thrown at. What he needed to do was to solve the problem, not escape.
While Director Silver was silent, Sweeping Clouds said softly beside him …
"Boss Yin, the Holy Spirit released a new CG," Sweeping Clouds said.
