"Charge —!!"
In a certain place in a certain world, a war was being waged.
A type of creature called the connectors listened to the voice in their heads and started a war against other species …
Of course, they quickly gained the upper hand in the war.
Because the voice in their heads was very clear about their weaknesses, it could constantly give them advice and make up for all their flaws.
The war lasted for a very long time.
It was a vast world, so it required a long war to rule it.
Of course, as their territory expanded, the brain spirits also observed the entire world through the connectors' eyes. They discovered countless interesting things, different things, and they realized that the place they originally lived in was so small …
After all, their territory was the connectors' territory.
Therefore, the brain spirits' territory was only as big as the connectors' territory. Now, the brain spirits realized the size of the world, so they urged the connectors to continue expanding their territory.
After suppressing the other species around them, the connectors became the strongest creatures in the area.
And the brain spirits also urged them to start the next step.
Although the brain spirits' area of activity was limited, they had endless curiosity. However, this could also be due to their limitations. They liked everything unknown and couldn't wait to explore.
Therefore, they allowed the connectors to start a new era.
Exploration, exploration of the world.
The connectors who were ordered by the brain spirits. They didn't continue to expand their territory. Instead, they left their residence alone or in small groups to explore and adventure all over the world.
That was a peaceful era. The relationship between the brain spirits and the connectors also started to change.
At first, they forced the connectors to submit. If they didn't listen, the brain spirits would make the connectors go crazy.
This tended to be a parasitic relationship. The parasite was trying to modify its host.
And now, they were in the midst of a common adventure. Their relationship with each other became better. Because … The brain spirits and the connectors were considered to have the same life. Only by working together could they overcome many difficulties.
In the adventure of life and death, some of the brain spirits and the connectors established a relationship. The brain spirits also didn't force them to command them. More often, they discussed with them. This was beneficial for both of them.
In terms of mortality, it also proved that brain spirits that were willing to cooperate with the connectors could go further than those that forced the connectors.
Brain Spirits did not know everything, but they could imagine problems from many different angles. Furthermore, their intelligence was higher, so they would be of great help to the Connectors.
Some of the Connectors traveled all over the world and saw the endless wonders of this world. They also saw the terrifying creatures that only appeared in nightmares …
A few of the connectors managed to make it back to the territory alive. Passing on their stories to the next generation.
In order to ensure the continuation of their lives, Brain Spirits would migrate to the next generation of Connectors when they reproduced. Then, he would wait for the cubs to grow up before letting them continue their adventures …
At this time, they had almost reached a perfect peace. The Brain Spirit and the Connector had almost become a symbiotic relationship. The two of them coexisted peacefully. It would bring benefits to both sides.
However, the benefits of having a brain spirit were greater. This was because they didn't need to do anything. Moving, taking risks, and facing terror were all done by the connectors. The brain spirit only needed to give them suggestions and hints.
Even so, the connectors didn't have any objections. They had always been adventuring with Brainwave.
However … this peace couldn't be maintained in the end.
This was because the Connectors began to understand Brainwave.
Through a friendly exchange, the connectors learned about the characteristics of the Brain Spirits. At first, they had many thoughts about the Brain Spirits, thinking that it was their own 'subconscious', or an illusion, or something else. They also thought that the Brain Spirits were 'gods'.
Many of the Connectors thought it was a 'god' that was guiding them.
But in reality, that wasn't the case. They realized that Brainwave was a type of creature. Each of their brains had a different Brainwave.
In the process of communicating with Brainwave, the Connectors became more and more familiar with Brainwave. They also realized that they would occasionally see Brainwave in their dreams …
They realized that many things were given to them by Brainwave …
The Connectors' population habits were greatly different under the influence of Brainwave. There were many more 'traditions' in their population. For example, the next generation of cubs had to connect with their 'elders' at some point in time and so on.
They didn't do these things in the first place.
"We are controlled by a parasite. We must end this control."
One of the Connectors had this idea. It quickly passed this idea to the others of its kind.
And so, the peace ended.
The war began again, but this time, it was an internal war. After the Connectors understood Brainwave, they began to think of ways to fight against it.
Although some of them were on good terms with Brainwave, no matter how good their relationship was, they began to resent the parasite in their brains.
These Connectors tried their best to fight against their own Brainwave. Many of them went crazy or committed suicide. They also began to protect their descendants, not allowing Brainwave to pass on to the next generation.
Soon, the Connectors split into two 'factions'. One faction was the supporters of Brainwave. They wanted to maintain everything that Brainwave had given them, to maintain the tradition of passing on Brainwave to their descendants …
The other faction wanted to end the Brainwave's control over them.
Brainwave then realized that there were so many problems after these things understood them. They tried to control the Connectors again, but it was too late.
The Connectors who tried to fight back, even if they went crazy, would not allow Brainwave to pass on to their descendants. Under their protection, a group of descendants who were not infected by Brainwave quickly grew up.
Then, this group of descendants saw the madness of their elders. They rejected Brainwave even more and began to fight back against Brainwave and the Connectors who believed in Brainwave.
Brainwave was, in fact, a very weak creature.
They did not have absolute control over their host, so they could not stop all this from happening.
In the end, there was no winner in this civil war. When the Connectors were fighting, the surrounding species that had been attacked before took the opportunity to invade them. After many wars … the Connectors' population had collapsed.
The originally large population split up and became independent. Some of the connected populations still 'believed' in the brain spirit, and they continued to maintain the traditions that the brain spirit had given them.
But … Brainwave had decided to abandon them.
Brainwave did not want to stay in the brain of such an unstable and fragile creature that was on the verge of extinction. They planned to find another way out. In their previous adventures, Brainwave had seen a lot. They also realized that the Connectors were not their only home.
As long as there was a brain, Brainwave could live in it, even including some lifeless substances.
At this time, the Connectors with the last bit of faith suffered a destructive blow.
Attacks from other creatures and those of the same species that had 'no faith' drove this group of Connectors to a dead end.
When they wanted Brainwave's guidance, they could no longer get a response.
That was because Brainwave had left them and invaded something else.
It was a substance that was similar to a rock.
These 'rocks' were very common in this world. They often grew at the places where creatures ate. But the most important thing was that their surface was covered with sharp spikes.
When a creature walked past these rocks, if its body was pierced, Brainwave could quickly enter the rock through the nerves in its body and live in it …
When Brainwave discovered that they could enter the rock, Brainwave let the Connectors come into contact with these rocks and then collectively left the Connectors.
After the Connectors' faith went extinct, the other Connectors also split up into smaller groups due to war and division. They left their original territories and scattered all over the world.
Later, they may have gone extinct, but Brainwave no longer cared about the Connectors' fates.
They changed from a type of parasitic creature to a type of 'stone dweller'.
In the words of the creator, stone dwellers did not affect the lives of other creatures.
However, it was impossible for Brainwave to not affect other creatures. These 'rocks' had a magical energy that could sustain Brainwave's life and could house multiple Brainwave. But unlike the brains of other creatures, the energy in the rocks would be continuously depleted. As long as Brainwave moved inside, the energy would be depleted.
Moreover, there was no way to know anything here …
So, they waited, ambushed, and tried to invade other creatures.
Occasionally, they would encounter other creatures that touched the spikes on the rocks and were injured. At that moment, they would invade the brains of the other creatures and parasitize them.
Soon, they would be active in the brains of other creatures.
But this time, they did not stay in one creature's brain. Instead, they kept thinking of ways to move to the brains of different creatures.
Using the rocks as a 'medium', they invaded everywhere, looking for stronger creatures that could be completely controlled by them.
If they were not satisfied with a creature, they would drive it to touch the rock and leave. It was easy to do this. Sometimes, they would also let the creature place a rock in a place that was easier for other creatures to come into contact with so that they could invade different creatures.
…
"This is the second paragraph, Fluffy." The words in the cave had reached the end. The creator said to Fluffy Ball, "But this is not their ending."
"Have you seen their ending?" Fluffy Ball asked.
The creator said, "No, but it is related to this world."
