There were two sides to the same coin. If there was a good side to a phenomenon, then there must be a bad side.
Gao Qi confirmed his theory, which was inspired by Wang Ming Yuan. The theory was that the emergence of superpowered people was caused by the theory of the immortality of mythical beasts.
To put it simply, the exotic beasts had invaded Earth. Although the most powerful divine beasts among the exotic beasts had died for unknown reasons, the wills of the divine beasts did not disappear along with the destruction of their bodies. Then, the spiritual power of the divine beasts continued to play a role on Earth, affecting one human after another.
The people who were affected the most by the spiritual power of the mythical beasts eventually became superpowered people and mutants.
Humans were affected by the exotic beasts. After their minds were eroded, they would complete the process of awakening when their spiritual power reached a high level of consistency with that of the mythical beasts. At this stage, humans had superpowers, but it was also very likely that they would lose their own consciousness and complete the transformation of spiritual beasts, thus becoming mutants.
The function of the Heart Protection Array was to protect magicians from being corrupted by the Demon God. In a sense, this was another version of the awakening of superpowers. Therefore, Gao Qi tried to use the Heart Protection Array to protect the awakened, so that they could use their superpowers but would not become spiritual beasts.
Lori was really an excellent example. When he began to scream in panic after entering the Heart Protection Array, Gao Qi believed that he saw the phantom or illusion of the mythical beasts. In this world, when a magician was bewitched by the Demon God, it was possible to see the illusion of the Demon God. This was a very common phenomenon.
Since all superpowered people were affected by the remnant consciousness of the mythical beasts, then every superpowered person should be able to see the illusion.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Gao Qi walked into the Heart Protection Array. Then, he also saw the illusion.
However, what Gao Qi saw was the phantom of the Lord of Arctic Frost. Moreover, he saw it in an instant. This was because when he fought with the Lord of Arctic Frost, he had been mentally communicated with by the Lord of Arctic Frost.
Now, Gao Qi had the superpowers of wind and temperature. These were the spiritual imprints left by the Lord of Arctic Frost. Therefore, what Gao Qi saw was the Lord of Arctic Frost.
Judging from the current situation, Lori should have seen more than one illusion.
Then why did Gao Qi say that both the good news and the bad news proved the theory of mental pollution?
This was because a dragon slayer would eventually become an evil dragon. Since the creation of ability users was due to the spiritual pollution of mythological beasts, then even if the ability users could rely on their strong willpower to resist the invasion of the mythological beasts' remnant consciousness, the ultimate fate of the ability users would most likely still be the mythological beasts.
Currently, the strongest human Metahumans were Grade-A. This was just a division that humans were accustomed to. However, Metahumans were not familiar with the power of Grade-A. Therefore, was Grade-A really the ceiling of Metahumans? Gao Qi was almost certain that it was not.
Now, it was very obvious that the ability user with a higher degree of compatibility between the spiritual power and the remnant consciousness of the mythological beast would be stronger. Moreover, the higher the degree of compatibility, the easier it would be for the awakening to fail. However, after becoming an ability user, would one be able to resist the spiritual pollution of the mythological beast? Would an ability user not become a mutant?
There was no answer now, but Gao Qi felt that if an ability user really achieved a breakthrough, the result would not necessarily be good or bad.
However, this was a question that could be considered in the future. The problem that Gao Qi needed to solve now was that if every awakened person was contaminated and assimilated by the remnant consciousness of the mythological beast, then he could only rely on the magic array to resist the spiritual pollution of the mythological beast and ensure that every awakening would be successful.
Therefore, it was good news that the theory had been verified, but after the theory was verified, thinking about the consequences, it was definitely not good news.
"Don't you understand? The same thing has two sides. It is a good thing that the theory of mental pollution has been verified, but it also means that … to ensure that everyone's awakening is successful, they will have to resist the spiritual pollution of the mythological beast. I can't guarantee the effectiveness of the magic array. "
After straightening his back and speaking with a dignified expression, Gao Qi looked at Lori and said seriously, "Now I can confirm that the stronger the spiritual power of the person, the stronger the spiritual pollution. Naturally, it will be easier for the awakening to fail. Therefore, I can't be sure how many energy cores the magic array needs to ensure that the Heart Protecting Array will continue to work. It won't be like just now, where it only lasted for less than a second before using up all the energy."
Wang Ming Yuan nodded and said seriously, "The factors of uncertainty have greatly increased, but everything has a general rule. As long as you do more experiments, you will be able to find the rule. I suggest that you only care about the general rule. For example, you can use the value of spiritual power as a basis to determine how many crystal cores to use as the energy source of the magic array."
Gao Qi found that in terms of experience in doing experiments, liberal arts students were indeed a bit worse than science students. Of course, this was a general rule, and there were some accidental factors.
"So, I just need to do more experiments?"
Wang Ming Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, do more experiments. The more detailed the data, the better."
So, Gao Qi said to Wang Ming Yuan, "Ask Lori what he saw. Ask him to describe it in detail."
Wang Ming Yuan began to ask. Soon, he said to Gao Qi, "He saw many strange beasts. They were very big."
"How big? It has to be accurate. At least try to describe it as accurately as possible. "
"The largest beast he saw was as big as a building. The smallest one was the size of a tree. The largest one looked a bit like a cow, but according to his description, it looked more like a dinosaur. Then, he saw a creature with two horns. There was a flame burning between the horns. Those two were the largest."
The Lord of Arctic that Gao Qi saw took up half the sky. In comparison, the strange beasts that Lori saw were much smaller. This might mean that Lori didn't face much difficulty in awakening.
"There were a total of four dead Mythological Beasts, but he saw many strange beasts. Could it be that not only Mythological Beasts can cause pollution? It's possible. Oh, that Mythological Beast that looked like a cow and a dinosaur, who knows?"
Anna listened. She said without hesitation, "Lord of Earth, a divine beast of both earth and wood elements. The one with the fire on its head must be the Lord of Fire."
"Understood."
Gao Qi looked at Lori and said in a low voice, "Let Lori enter the magic formation again. This time, I'll try to use the magic formation to awaken him. Tell Chuck to prepare for Lori's failure. If Lori fails, kill him immediately to prevent too much damage. I won't do it myself because I need to observe."
Wang Ming Yuan was stunned. "As a liberal arts student, your attitude towards experiments is very proper. But if you're going to do human experiments, shouldn't you inform the subjects of the risks in advance?"
Gao Qi said with a serious face, "If I help him, he'll have an eighty percent chance of success. In other words, I have an eighty percent chance of awakening him. As for the risks, forget it. We're getting closer to the truth. At this time, I don't want to affect Lori's confidence."
