"Those eyes … Are they GEASS?" When Luluxiu saw Xiao Ran's golden eyes flashing with the flying bird rune, he couldn't help but take two steps back to get out of Xiao Ran's sight. He looked at the kneeling Suzaku and Xiao Ran, who was standing on top of the Suzaku like a majestic king.
Xiao Ran felt and studied his ability. This ability was nothing more than using his mental power to influence others, changing their hearts and thoughts. In the end, he would be able to achieve loyalty without changing his own nature. Under passive influence, this ability was slow and undetectable. Once the active effect was activated, it would give the user a mental attack, forcibly leaving his mark in the other party's heart, and increase the other party's conversion speed. However, there would always be some side effects, similar to a psychological shadow. The key was that Xiao Ran's mental power was too strong, and it was estimated that the shadow he left in the heart of the pivot tree Vermillion Bird would be very, very heavy.
But to Xiao Ran, the GEASS ability was just a key. As for how to use it after opening the door, that would depend on his own ability.
While the Suzaku was in a daze, Xiao Ran didn't do anything else. Instead, he waited until the Suzaku slowly regained consciousness. Then, he said softly, "Are you willing to submit to me?"
The moment the Suzaku regained consciousness, he realized that he was kneeling on the ground. He looked at the figure in front of him and felt that he was extremely tall, as though he was emitting a colorful light. It was so dazzling. He didn't know why he was kneeling, but the moment he wanted to stand up, he suddenly felt a resistance against his own will. His body refused to listen to him, and he couldn't stand up at all.
She couldn't control her body, and she couldn't even control her brain. However, the pivotal Vermilion Bird gritted her teeth and forced herself to endure as she stammered with difficulty, "Submit … No … I won't submit to someone of unknown origins like you."
"Is that so?" Xiao Ran said softly, but it was like a thunderclap in the Suzaku's ears. It almost messed up his mind again, and the dazzling figure in front of him turned into a terrifying demon in an instant. The GEASS ability had once again affected his mind and made him see the demon. At the same time, there was a faint voice in his ears telling him to submit to him. Submit to him, and you will be free. Submit to him, and you will have everything.
Xiao Ran had been observing the Suzaku's mental state. He clearly sensed that the Suzaku was in a state of mental confusion as though he was hypnotized. He was treating the Suzaku as a test subject for the first time using the GEASS ability. Xiao Ran even felt that he could put in more effort. He could even use psychokinesis to forcefully influence the Suzaku and eventually control him.
However, Xiao Ran also realized that even if Xiao Ran stopped influencing the Suzaku, the Suzaku would still be affected. Even if the Suzaku could hold on until now, the demon in his mind that wanted him to submit to Xiao Ran wouldn't disappear just like that.
If the Suzaku continued to stubbornly persist, there would only be two outcomes for the Suzaku. The first was that the Suzaku would be completely influenced and submit to Xiao Ran. The second possibility was that Xiao Ran would suffer from schizophrenia. If Xiao Ran used psychokinesis, the probability of the Suzaku suffering from schizophrenia would be almost 100%. Although Xiao Ran wanted to test it out, he gave up on the idea after considering that Luluxiu was standing right next to him. He continued to exert pressure and influence on the Suzaku with the power of GEASS and his massive mental strength.
"Submit to me and you will get everything you want. Power, authority, and the dreams and expectations in your heart."
The Suzaku's expression gradually became distorted. It alternated between calmness and resistance. "Submit … No, I won't submit … Submit … No …"
Xiao Ran spoke again. His words were filled with irresistible majesty and tempting temptation. "You don't have a choice. Either you die, or I'll change your world into something you don't want to see the most. I'll fill your world with destruction and war. If you choose to submit, I'll give you the power to change this world into your ideal."
"Power … change …" The pivotal Vermilion Bird's face was once again filled with confusion, but there was more of a struggle at the corner of its eyes. Red blood began to flow out of its nostrils, causing Xiao Ran to frown slightly. The pivotal Vermilion Bird's mental strength wasn't considered strong, and it wasn't even comparable to Luluxiu's current state. However, the persistence and willpower in its heart were simply terrifying. It was a strong heart that could face any desperate situation calmly and bravely. However, this fellow with such a heart had chosen the path of being a dog. Xiao Ran really didn't understand what was going on with the pivotal Vermilion Bird's brain structure.
"That's enough!" Lu Luxiu couldn't bear to see the pitiful appearance of the pitiful Vermilion Bird, but Xiao Ran didn't even turn his head as he coldly said, "If it ends here, then we can only kill him or imprison him forever. My strength is different from yours, so even if he chooses to submit, it won't change anything. The pitiful Vermilion Bird will still be the pitiful Vermilion Bird, but there will be one more person to be loyal to."
"I know you can't do anything to him, but he's just a test subject for me. I don't care about his life or death. I'm just giving him freedom and a way to live for your sake. Pivot Vermilion Bird, submit to me once again!" Zhang Tie said with a smile. "Don't worry, Vermilion Bird.
At this moment, Xiao Ran's enormous mental strength was no longer restrained. It burst out from Xiao Ran's body. The powerful energy even made Luluxiu, who was conscious, see a blue and green light spreading out. It hit him like a hurricane and forced him to take a few steps back. The Suzaku, who was the main target, fell to the ground with blood gushing out of his mouth and nose. He had completely lost his consciousness. Only part of his mental consciousness was left under the influence of GEASS. He muttered, "I submit to you, my king.
"Submit, my king. I will forever submit to you, my king."
"What a stubborn guy." Xiao Ran retracted all of his mental strength and put on the glasses in his hand. He then turned to look at the horrified Luluxiu. "Now that the matter is settled, from now on, the Suzaku will forever have the shadow of submitting to me in his heart."
"But this kid's willpower is really beyond my expectations." Xiao Ran frowned as if he was talking to himself. "My GEASS's power is different from yours. Your power only affects the mind. Even though those with strong willpower can break free from your control, I need to consider the strength of the target's willpower before I affect them." Xiao Ran frowned as if he was talking to himself.
Luluxiu wanted to say something else to Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran's words stunned him. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Luluxiu and said, "It might be easier for you to understand. Your current mental strength is 20, so the effect of your GEASS ability is 20 plus the inherent effect of your GEASS ability. As the resisting party, as long as their mental strength is within your range of influence, they will never lose control. After you control them, they will return to their normal speed according to the strength of their willpower. But generally speaking, the recovery speed will not be faster than the speed of your command. Some special commands may be impossible to break free from."
"But I have to go through a Will Test when I use my GEASS ability. That's probably because my ability doesn't just affect the mind. If that's the case, it's no different from brainwashing. Instead, it's changing the persistence of the target's soul without changing the target. That's why it's like this. In other words, the Pivotal Vermilion Bird's resistance and struggle was actually just a game to change the target's inner thoughts?"
As a matter of fact, Xiao Ran wasn't just thinking about Willpower. The strength of one's Willpower was related to the strength of one's Spirit. The Pivotal Vermilion Bird's Spirit definitely wasn't strong enough to resist Xiao Ran, so even if Willpower was strong to a certain extent, it wouldn't affect the Spirit. Therefore, there must be another force that allowed the Pivotal Vermilion Bird to persist. Xiao Ran had already thought of a possibility, and that was energy. The energy unique to a Super Faction could provide a huge boost to one's Willpower. Only this could explain why the Pivotal Vermilion Bird could persist for so long. In other words, the Pivotal Vermilion Bird should have already mastered energy, and it seemed normal for an idiot like the Pivotal Vermilion Bird to master energy.
Luluxiu didn't quite understand what Xiao Ran was talking about. Until now, Luluxiu still didn't know what the GEASS power was based on. Naturally, he couldn't understand the true meaning behind Xiao Ran's words. If Luluxiu's GEASS power used C's World Will to temporarily give the controlled person a brand new personality, which caused the controlled person to lose all memories, then Xiao Ran's power used the World Will to influence the controlled person and forcefully change the person's insistence. The memories wouldn't be changed or disappear, but the controlled person would become Xiao Ran's most loyal subordinate.
Shaking his head, Luluxiu wanted to get rid of the scene that just happened out of his mind. He directly rushed to the cardinal wood Vermillion Bird who was lying on the ground and seemed to have fainted. After he carried Vermillion Bird up, he said to Xiao Ran, "What will happen to him?"
"Like I said, there won't be any changes. He'll just be loyal to me instead of the Empire." Xiao Ran glanced at the two and said, "He'll probably be weak for a while, but there won't be any side effects."
Luluxiu trusted Xiao Ran on this matter. After hearing Xiao Ran's words, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, his face turned slightly gloomy. "I won't pursue what you did to Vermilion Bird, but I won't allow you to use this power on Nunnally."
"I'm not that bored." Xiao Ran pursed his lips and said, "Nunnally is the queen I chose. She'll be the ruler of the entire world one day. As a ruler, the last thing you should do is to have your own thoughts. You shouldn't be influenced and controlled by anyone. By the way, let me tell you a piece of good news. I've already checked Nunnally's condition. It won't be long before I can restore her vision and stand up again. Of course, it will take time."
The corner of Luluxiu's eyes twitched. Perhaps he thought of something, or perhaps he thought Xiao Ran was threatening him again. He clenched his fists and lowered his head. His chest rose and fell a few times. He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes? I can see that your eyes are glowing, and there's a flying bird rune on both of your eyes."
Xiao Ran smirked. "The rune on both of your eyes is just the awakening of the GEASS ability. When you have the rune on both of your eyes, your ability will become stronger. By then, your consciousness will be able to affect others. If you can't improve your mental power and control the GEASS ability, you might let the GEASS power go berserk when you're not paying attention. It might even affect Nunnally. You don't seem to have a way to remove the command you gave, right? So, for the sake of yourself and Nunnally, you'd better find a way to improve yourself."
"Power is just a tool. Don't let yourself be affected by power. You have to influence and control the tool."
"Okay." Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "That's all for today. Get someone to clean up the pivotal Vermilion Bird. I'll take him away."
Luluxiu frowned. "Where are you taking him?"
"The military court of course." Xiao Ran glanced at Luluxiu and said, "Since you've turned into ZERO and announced the existence of the Black Knights, although there are some twists and turns, this guy should be acquitted due to lack of evidence. I'm looking forward to this guy lurking in the Empire and cooperating with me."
After speaking, Xiao Ran stroked his chin, "Moreover, as I've said, even though the target of his loyalty has become me, his other thoughts won't change. He hopes to use a correct method to change Butaria from the inside. This means that even if we forcefully keep him here, he will seize the opportunity to return to the Empire's army. Since that's the case, we might as well take the initiative to send him back."
