V3/Chapter 11: You don't understand? Then I'll give you a brain that can understand.
After the basic mental network connection is confirmed, the next step is actual combat testing.
Under Ai Yue's arrangement, the drones quickly drove a group of Honkai beasts towards the experimental base. There were about one thousand of them. For an ordinary small town, it could be described as a catastrophic disaster.
In fact, a small beast tide formed by a thousand Honkai beasts cannot be dealt with by fifty fusion warriors. After all, their individual strength is not too strong, and they are not equipped with hot weapons. Under normal circumstances, it is already very good to be able to destroy three hundred Honkai beasts.
So when the soldiers heard that the enemy unit had a thousand Honkai beasts, they couldn't help but feel a little lack of confidence.
"According to the training content, three people form a basic battle formation and prepare to engage the enemy!"
As the leader, Kosma quickly gave the order, "Don't panic, just try your best to exert your full strength!"
On the other side, Ai Yue was still communicating with Su: "How do you feel now?"
"It's as strange as having fifty extra arms,"
Su said in a strange tone, "I can feel that they each have their own consciousness, but it seems that if I want, I can also control them by force..."
"After all, your mental power is still too strong. Be more restrained and don't interfere with their thoughts. Just make sure your abilities can function normally."
Ai Yue nodded, "Besides, it's actually incorrect to describe it as an arm. Theoretically, you have fifty extra brains."
"This sounds much more terrifying than having fifty more arms..."
While the two scholars were still discussing, the fusion warriors under the command of Kosma had already collided head-on with the tide of Honkai beasts. However, what no one expected was that the Honkai beasts that were supposed to attack them, for some reason, turned their targets on their compatriots around them, and then started killing each other.
What's worse, its front limbs were raised high in preparation for trampling, but for some reason, it suddenly lost its strength, which caused the center of gravity of its body to shift, causing it to fall to the ground, looking extremely funny.
When the soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but show strange expressions, but they soon realized that this was help from the person in the coffin, so they no longer hesitated and took the initiative to attack.
Under such circumstances, the battle that should have been an advantage for the Honkai beasts soon became a battlefield where the Fusion Warriors ruthlessly harvested them. While busy fighting themselves or their own kind, the Honkai beasts were unable to launch an effective offensive and easily lost their lives.
Of course, although the advantage was huge, the fusion warriors were not unscathed because of the chaotic situation caused by the Honkai beasts, which caused some people to be caught up in the chaos during the attack and were directly knocked away.
Although the physical injuries were insignificant, considering that such an incident would certainly be laughed at by his comrades, it could also be seen as a severe psychological blow.
However, after this little episode, the fusion warriors became more cautious. After all, no one wants to be the next victim.
But even if they slowed down, these one thousand Honkai beasts were still wiped out in a very short time. Although most of them were killed by the fusion warriors, a small number of Honkai beasts died at the hands of their own compatriots.
"Report, the battle is over."
Kosma quickly regrouped the warriors and reported the results to Ai Yue, "Except for one person who was slightly injured, the other 49 were all unharmed."
"Good."
Ai Yue nodded, then looked at the coffin beside him... Su was inside. "Su, what do you think?"
"I just feel that it's a bit strange."
Su's tone was filled with some subtle emotions. "Theoretically, my ability shouldn't have such a strong effect on Honkai beasts. Dr. Ai Yue, did you add any new technology?"
The reason why there is no one other than Dystopia, a fusion warrior of the spiritual perception type, fighting on the front lines is precisely because their abilities do not have a very obvious effect on Honkai beasts.
If the ability of an ordinary fusion warrior causes 1 damage to both humans and Honkai beasts, then a fusion warrior with mental perception can cause 2 or even 3 damage to humans, but conversely, can only cause 0.3 damage to Honkai beasts.
Because the spirit of Honkai beasts is fundamentally different from that of humans, they do not have the same thinking and spirit as humans, so interference on the spiritual level is extremely minor for them.
Even a psychic of Aponia's level, when facing Honkai beasts, basically uses the lightning generated by the powerful mental power interfering with reality to directly destroy their bodies, rather than controlling them through "commandments".
It's not like Su hasn't experimented with Honkai Beasts before, but when facing Honkai Beasts, his ability can basically only eliminate his own traces, thereby achieving an effect similar to "invisibility" in the Honkai Beasts' perception system. Not to mention making Honkai Beasts attack each other, he can't even expel them.
He originally thought that by extending his abilities to other people, it would be basically equivalent to group invisibility, but he did not expect that it would directly cause chaos in the Honkai beast group. Such a result was obviously not normal.
The only explanation is that Ai Yue also used other technologies.
"Very perceptive."
Ai Yue smiled, but his expression turned serious again, "Unfortunately, it's not really a new technology, it's just a way of utilizing the power of the Eighth Herrscher."
The spiritual realm is an area where Ai Yue finds it difficult to make a breakthrough, even with the help of the system, not to mention that there is an essential difference between the spirit of Honkai beasts and that of humans. The experience and technology involved are simply not shared. Therefore, for a long time, Ai Yue has not made much progress in his research on Honkai beasts.
All of his current achievements in the spiritual field basically come from the consciousness power of the Eighth Herrscher, and the reason why Su's ability can have such an obvious effect on the Honkai beast is also due to the power of the Herrscher.
To put it simply, it is to use the power of consciousness to "enlighten" the Honkai beasts, by temporarily granting them human-like mental powers, to override their own consciousness and influence their bodies.
From the current perspective, the effect can be said to be very obvious, but the cost is also extremely high.
"Okay, the technical test is over, let's return to the normal process."
Ai Yue took a look at the test data in his hand, then pressed the button on the coffin and took out the Herrscher Core of the Eighth Herrscher from it. "Kosma, have the warriors disperse and go deep into the Honkai Beasts. I want to test the limit coverage of the Pseudo-Domination Network."
