Whether human beings, or intellectual life forms, really have souls as stated in many religious propaganda, may be a difficult problem for pioneer civilizations that have not yet discovered the power of virtual reality and spiritual energy millions of years ago. But today, with so many psychic sects and idealistic empires, even the most staunch materialists have to admit the existence of spiritual bodies.

Although various academic parties have been unable to reach a conclusion on the nature of the spirit body of intellectual life forms and where it comes from, one thing is certain: the spirit body is the only key to unlocking the door of spiritual energy. Intelligent creatures without a spirit body In any case, it is impossible to become a latent psychic medium, let alone to awaken psychic powers.

On the contrary, the influence of spiritual energy on the soul will be greatly reduced on the non-spiritual races, and it will hardly have any effect on confusing people's hearts. The most appropriate example is the man named "Fasati" on the border of the Qin Empire. The Absorber's Necron Empire.

According to archaeologists' careful study of the remaining historical materials, they found that as early as the civil war period when the Jeffreys and the Taralons were still fighting for the ownership of the planet, the former had used a team of psychic lurkers as members. A spy force composed of a handful of psykers.

When the Taralon people were still locked in the mountains by Jeffery scientists and doing various transformation experiments, the main task of this force was to eliminate internal enemies and capture dangerous criminals.

Relying on powerful supernatural power, the spy force is invincible. No ordinary person can stay awake under the mental fluctuations of psykers.

After the Taralonians broke their shackles, escaped from the experimental base and grew stronger, the Jeffery government immediately dispatched this elite force, which had never let them down, in an attempt to eliminate the danger by assassinating the leader of the Taralonians. Stifled in the cradle.

But what is lamentable is that the inhumane transformation of the Taralon people by Jeffrey's scientists has already turned them into monsters that have lost their spiritual bodies. This directly led to the spy force not only failing to complete the beheading mission, but was also extremely physically powerful. The tyrannical Taralonians were torn to pieces.

So is the undead race the nemesis of psykers? Yang Tianyi doesn't think so.

Because judging from his increasingly abundant knowledge base in the field of psychic energy, influencing the mind is only one of the more superficial ways of using psychic energy. A truly powerful psychic will never use it as his main attack or defense. means.

Most psykers prefer to unleash their infinite power from the physical plane rather than intangible psychic powers.

According to the knowledge shared by the virtual realm teacher Arete in the spiritual world, unless he is extremely confident in his talent, every psyker who reaches a higher realm will choose a fixed development direction in the hope that he will be able to choose his own path in the future. Go further.

This is not the optimal solution, but not everyone has infinite lifespan or super talents. For most psychics, if they don't want to be forgotten by everyone, saving energy and specializing in one area is the most cost-effective way to practice.

After hundreds of thousands of years of exploration and summary, the forerunners have developed five major factions for their descendants, namely the oldest telepathy system, the mysterious and mysterious divination system, the destructive pyromancy system, The all-pervasive telekinesis system and the biomancy system that have suddenly emerged in recent years.

As the earliest origin among the five major factions and the faction with the most practitioners, people generally refer to psychics as "telepaths". Their expertise lies in linking and controlling the minds of others.

For telepaths whose willpower is almost indestructible, with just a thought, they can easily destroy the enemy's sanity and induce the opponent's deepest fears to take over the victim's body.

Mind-sensors are also very good at using their ability to confuse people to hide deep in the enemy's army, control the enemy's top management and army at critical moments, and create a fully-staffed puppet army for their own camp out of thin air.

Of course, telepaths also have more straightforward attack methods, such as gathering psychic energy somewhere in the body, taking a deep breath when the power accumulation is about to reach its peak, and letting out a terrifying psychic shriek. The fighting will of thousands of soldiers can be shattered in an instant.

Faced with the invisible scream of the soul, even the warrior with the strongest willpower is not immune. If an ordinary person suffered such an attack, the person would bleed from all the orifices and fall into madness, or the person's soul would be shattered and die on the spot. There would be no third outcome.

Compared with the ancient and elusive psychic system, the extremely high threshold for personal talent in the practice of prophecy is enough to shut out most psychics.

As the most mysterious of the five major factions, prophecy psychics are often given the honorific names of "diviners" and "fortuellers", and the best ones can be praised by an entire or even several civilizations. The people of the empire worship him because they can understand the hidden past in the galaxy and know the future process.

However, even the most powerful prophet cannot accurately predict the future of a civilization. He can only use his connection with the virtual realm to clear away a superficial layer of fog.

The virtual realm mentor, Aret from Yongdarium, is a typical prophecy psyker. Even though his realm is still far away from the legendary prophet, he can still predict that Yang Tianyi will never The future that agrees to his request shows the magic of prophecy psykers.

According to a certain divination master in the Void Walker city-state, “In the cocoon of destiny born in the void, we talk about powers that are incomprehensible to mortals, think about the secrets hidden in dreams, and explore the storage place of primitive spiritual energy. Staring at the invisible gears that drive the entire civilization, the virtual world reveals a lot to the listener."

Although it is extremely wasteful to throw precious diviners into the battlefield, when it comes to the battlefield, the unique abilities of diviners will definitely surprise their enemies.

Let me ask, if a general knows the enemy's deployment before the war begins, will his chance of losing the battle be greatly reduced? In a duel between psychics, if one party's actions are predicted by the other party at the nanosecond level, what are the chances of the former party winning?

In addition, the fortune teller can also distort the fate of both the enemy and ourselves, so that the attacks of comrades always hit the weakest areas of enemy defense, and the enemy's firepower can never touch the vital points of our soldiers.

Compared with the Psychic and Prophecy systems, which are not good at fighting, the damage that can be caused by psykers on the physical level is unrivaled by all factions. In the eyes of ordinary people, psionic sorcerers who can move mountains and fill seas, and can release monstrous seas of fire and lightning storms at will, are mostly power-controlling psykers.

But relatively speaking, the talent control system has the lowest requirements. Therefore, many psionic orders and idealistic empires will specially cultivate powerful corps formed by the psykers of the control system, and expect them to perform on the battlefield with every move. Destroy the invading enemy.

Due to the various attack methods of psykers in the control system, there has never been a fixed title for them in the galaxy. They are just called "psionic warlocks", and the prefix is ​​added based on the warlock's usual attack method.

Those who use lightning are "Tianyun Warlocks", and those who use fire are "Pyromancers". As for powers other than lightning and fire, because they are too difficult to control and have weak lethality, generally no power-control psykers will set foot on them. other areas.

After all, they were born to destroy, so why bother practicing tricks that don't kill people but just look gorgeous?

If telepaths can cause serious damage to the enemy's fighting will, then the dazzling appearance of psionic warlocks with sparks and lightning can often greatly boost the morale of one's own side that has gradually slumped due to days of fierce fighting.

In order to prove his point of view, when the virtual realm mentor Arete mentioned the energy control psykers to Yang Tianyi and Yin Lisabai, he also very proudly introduced to them the strongest combat force of the Destiny Empire-a military force. A strategic-level marine corps composed of tens of thousands of psychic warlocks.

Invincible and invincible are the best descriptions of this warlock army. As early as the war between the Kingdom of Yondarim and the Qien Empire due to border friction, the warlock legion formed based on the monks of the Empire's national religion, the Meteor Star Sect, had already shone on the battlefields of the two armies, making their enemies extremely frightened. .

No fortress can withstand the continuous bombardment of psychic lightning, and no army can withstand the endless fire without collapse.

Wherever the battle is fiercest, there is the Imperial Warlock Corps. To this day, veterans who have retired from the most elite marine corps of the Qian Empire can't help but tremble in their legs when they mention their psyker enemies, as if the horrific scene of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and smoke filled with gunpowder is still in front of them. .

"What about the telekinetic and biochemical systems? You said that the psykers of these two factions are rookies who have only emerged in the past few hundred years. I would like to know some knowledge about them."

Looking at Master Arete who was talking endlessly in front of him and was about to go off topic, the straightforward Yin Lisabai raised her own question and glanced at Yang Tianyi beside her, who frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking about something.

Although time flows very slowly in the spiritual world, it is obvious that both of them are particularly curious about telekinesis and biochemistry psykers, and can't wait to learn more novel knowledge that they have never been exposed to before.

After hearing this, he drank all the sweet tea in the cup. Master Arete smacked his lips with unsatisfied thoughts. After organizing the words in his mind, he said with a smile: "You two, don't be impatient. Let me tell you in detail."

"After all, the Federation has paid for this knowledge. Teaching and learning is the purpose of our Sharp Eyes Order."
