What is the undead? If someone asks this question, I am afraid everyone will have their own answer.
"The undead villain, the destroyer of order, the existence that should be purified by the Holy Light." This is a standard Holy Light answer, and it is also the mainstream view of this world.
"The miraculous creation created under certain conditions is the exact opposite of the living beings with life energy. The main conditions for its formation include two, one is sufficient negative energy, and the other is the fragments of the soul..."
This is the standard answer of a mage, there are comparisons and assumptions, and if it is a professional necromancer, a lot of comments will probably be added, such as the type of undead, necessary elements, and the like.
"I like the word miracle creation, but forget about negative energy. The original dead did not have the slightest negative energy. They are often noble and unyielding spirits of war."
As the first undead, Iyer once mentioned that the original undead were naturally generated. They were brave men who were unwilling to die. Only with an immortal will firm enough to resist the call of reincarnation could they walk out of the cemetery by themselves and become immortal. Heroic spirits, um, are also legendary natural undead.
Everything originates from the soul, and those who can resist the sweet and long sleep given by death with a pure soul are all great historical figures, and there may not be one in an era.
The undead that followed were degraded substitutes made by the demons to study the reasons for the formation of heroic spirits. In order to make the bodies of the undead that did not meet the standards of heroic spirits act, they were filled with negative energy from the lower planes. Negative energy, over time, has a special term - the power of death.
And this power itself comes from the abyss, but it has the nature of bloodthirsty, madness and chaos. Even a wise archmage will become crazy under the loneliness of living alone and the erosion of negative energy after being transformed into a lich. It is difficult to understand, and the low-level undead who only rely on negative energy to drive action are killing machines full of bloodthirsty desires.
And speaking of this, talking about the classic undead created by the negative energy death road, I am afraid to talk about positive energy and negative energy.
Positive energy and negative energy are two relatively offset energy categories. There are many types of positive energy, the most common of which are holy light and the power of nature. Many angels and envoys of upper planes can use it almost instinctively, but the reason Known as positive energy, in addition to their general connection with the source of order, more, but this energy is often beneficial to the living, and can even heal the wounded.
On the contrary, it is negative energy. Although due to the rise of the undead and undead magic, today's negative energy is probably equated with the power of death of the undead, but this kind of energy that is harmful to the living just by touching it, But it is the most important nourishment for the undead. The so-called plane of death is the place where negative energy and the power of death gather.
For an ordinary mage, this level of research is probably enough. After all, offensive spells such as exhaustion rays, curses, mental retardation, and negative energy contact only require you to create specific types of spells according to the classic spell model. negative energy, and then throw it out in a specific way to hurt people.
Since negative energy is the most fundamental energy source and filler for the undead, it is not enough to stay at the level of ordinary mages. It can be said that most undead mages have a lot of research on negative energy. The master of the curse of attacking spells is also the most famous tributary of the necromancer.
But what is interesting is that it is the same negative energy spell. It is a very aggressive damage spell for the living, but it is a healing light for the undead. Is life and death so opposed
Perhaps, in the eyes of other mages, this is just a natural phenomenon like rain after dark clouds, but I am very interested in studying "the reasons for the formation of dark clouds" and "the formation process of raindrops".
The body is still the body, the soul is the soul, is the difference between life and death only limited to the power of death or the power of life that drives it? Does life and death represent two completely different forms of existence
Why are some heroic spirits more powerful in their lifetimes, while the undead are generally backward in strength, and their development potential is greatly limited. What happened between the transition between life and death
"Everything comes from the soul!"
At the craziest time, I once did a crazy experiment. Every step of the conversion between the living and the dead was entered into the table by me. Hundreds of precise experiments led me to come to a very strange conclusion.
In a certain world, the mass of the body will be reduced by 21 grams after death, and in this world, this mysterious 21 grams still represents the mass of the soul, but different from that world, this world has the existence of the soul, There is also necromancy magic that returns the soul to the body... The conclusion is that after incarnation of the undead, the weight will come back, but it must be less than 21 grams!
"Returning souls range from 1 gram to 20 grams. In this way, the irreversible process brought about by death, the first is that the soul will shatter, and at least part of it has disappeared without a trace."
Afterwards, I used my enemies to do a series of life-death conversion experiments, including allowing the states of life and death to coexist at the same time, allowing the living to directly convert into the dead in the wailing of extreme pain, and the weight of the Change can still be measured, and it is inevitable that all souls of the dead will lose some mass.
What's the point of knowing the lack of quality of the soul? Hehe, for mages, knowledge itself is power, it depends on how it is transformed.
Not only did I get the first-hand information on soul transformation, but I also accidentally discovered a conclusion that the lower-level undead, the less soul mass they can hold, often three to five grams is enough, no matter how many soul fragments Naturally dissipated, and what fills the gap seems to be the so-called negative energy.
"Then, can you make a hypothesis that the more undead that preserves the complete soul, the stronger it is? Maybe the reverse is true. The grade of the undead determines how much soul and wisdom he can retain."
Such research results undoubtedly conform to the fact that the low-level undead are stupid, and the high-level undead can even retain the wisdom and memory in front of them, but just such a result still cannot meet my research expectations... So I did it hard. ticket.
Well, I was really crazy at the time, or I would have kidnapped two heroic spirits of the God of Light, and then carried out various living experiments on them.
Dissection, taking out the soul and putting it back in, testing the carrying capacity of the body of the heroic spirit on the souls of the low-level undead, etc. have taken turns. Before the souls of the two heroic spirits completely turned into pieces that could not be put together, I had already obtained enough experiments. data.
The conclusion is surprising, the soul integrity rate of the heroic spirits is shocking, they are not 21 grams, but 23 grams and 25 grams!
And after dissecting two living saints, I determined that all living beings are 21 grams, which will not change due to the difference in strength, then, it is only possible that the increase in the amount of soul sharpness becomes a heroic spirit. Weight, since the mass decreases, it represents a decline in strength, so does the increase in mass represent some kind of evolution and sublimation
The spiritual bodies of heroic spirits have obvious advantages over common souls in all aspects. They have innate magic resistance only by virtue of their souls, and they can also increase the upper limit of the physical body's own strength, and can even be repeated in each body. , instead of dying because of the broken soul... Well, I seem to have tossed too much back then, and let the solid heroic soul become parts.
So, the conclusion and the experimental goal have come out... If I can also increase the quality of the soul, can I create a "undead" that is stronger than the heroic spirit.
So, the premise and the experimental method are determined... Heroic spirits are often the sublimation of ordinary souls, then, in that sublimation, what happened, and what made Heroic Spirits become Heroic Spirits
Only the noble can complete heroic deeds and be chosen by gods to become heroic spirits? Facing the church's set, I laughed, I'm not a theologian, I'm a science... Mage, as long as there are enough experimental materials, this kind of crazy stuff can still be turned into real experimental data and conclusions.
So, I set my eyes on a few famous heroes, and through all kinds of tempering, conspiracy, and brutal fighting, let them die at the brightest moment of life, and the first dozens only provided me with undead men of far superior quality , and the priest numbered 219 actually successfully turned into a heroic spirit, and I also recorded the whole process of the sharp change.
Sacrifice, in the face of despair, in order to protect his companions, he ignited himself, the radiant wall isolated the undead invasion, and at that moment, he also died...
world recognition? Sublime spirit? No, no, as I said, my masters never believe in those ramblings. We have enough data and sampling so that we can find out the truth under those false slogans.
"Sacrifice and consciousness? Virtue, or obsession, to be more precise, it should be 'strong emotional fluctuations, strong enough to interfere with the world'... I didn't expect that it was the same thing as the natural undead. ."
And although there are results, as a rigorous researcher, you naturally have to be careful to verify, so...
"I'm not willing to die like this" "I still have things to do" "Is my sacrifice really meaningful?"
When I use undead magic to repeatedly instill these strong consciousnesses into an individual, and let it burst into intense emotions before death, theoretically, I should be able to obtain artificial heroic spirits.
As a result... I failed, I got the craziest evil spirits, they attacked everything in front of me crazily, and this didn't explain why the soul would increase in quality, after all, even if a strong obsession guarantees the integrity of the soul, this extra Where does the quality come from
So, I repeatedly recalled the successful No. 219, and completely simulated the environment, but canceled certain conditions one by one, hoping to find the overlooked key point... I am afraid that in those two years, the Church of the Holy Church Absolutely wonder why heroic spirits who haven't seen for ten years jump out seven or eight a year, and then there are ten times as many elite priests suddenly suffer the fate of death.
And finally, when I canceled a key point, no matter what, the artificial heroic spirit could not succeed, and the lost orb was found.
"His heroic deeds are carried by the world, and his descendants are proud of it... The original point is that here, heroic spirits must be perceived by others."
The ode to Heroic Spirits is also another proof of my research results. Letting the deeds be known, preferably witnessed before death, is a necessary condition for becoming a Heroic Spirit.
So, can a false legend and a hypnotized "hero" become a heroic spirit? If possible, it seems that my conclusion is correct.
As a result, in my wild laughter, the first man-made heroic spirit "King of Dragon Slayer" Sven was born and became the heroic spirit of the Holy Light. I conducted the second experiment... The hapless guy who was released from hypnosis by me, when he found out that he was just a despicable murderer, instantly turned into a holy firework, but it also proved the need for heroic spirits to be "obsessed".
At the same time, it also proves that the Holy Church's interpretation of souls and heroic spirits is bullshit!
Finally, after more experiments, I came to a conclusion that was probably the closest to reality.
"It's no wonder that the world of mind images distorts the real world. In this world, things at the ideological level such as human nature, cognition, belief, and obsession are themselves part of power. They can become the nourishment of the soul, making it complete and resisting negative effects. The erosion of energy, and after reaching a certain level, it can even sharpen into a heroic state and begin to use positive energy!"
This also explains why those cans whose heads are full of chivalry, even if they are turned into undead, can still retain their morality and wisdom, and the knightly virtues that cannot be changed protect them in a sense, while those lonely archmage, He has a very high intellectual quotient, his emotional experience is completely blank, and he regards the so-called beliefs as a joke. Naturally, under the erosion of negative energy, he gradually loses himself.
While getting the results of this experiment, I also clarified the essence of heroic spirits. For mages, knowledge is power. My Defende, who will never fall, also has the ability to temporarily evolve the undead into heroic spirits. This is absolutely It is unparalleled in the world.
If this is the case, I am probably the biggest heresy and blasphemer in the past thousand years, and if I add a hypothesis derived from this conclusion, I am afraid that I am the biggest heresy since Ashe created the world.
"Perhaps, the so-called gods are the next stage of evolution of heroic spirits that gather the so-called beliefs and concepts of priesthood... Ha, that doesn't mean that the so-called noble gods are just different kinds of undead. The moment they ascended the throne, Already dead? The rest are just soul fragments kidnapped by faith and priesthood?"
Well, if this research result is thrown out, I am afraid that half of the true God believers in this world will be busy calling me nonsense, while the other half will be busy chasing and killing me.
But I have proof... My experiment worked! !
Yes, the sleepless ones! His successful ascension to the gods, even in the eyes of a big man like Iyer, is just a fluke, but only I know that this is the last verification experiment for my theoretical body shape - artificial gods.
Sometimes, I also think about what would happen if I spread these truths to the whole world. After thinking about it, I give up. After all, most people will not believe it. .
[Don't go forward, you have already touched the root cause, go further down, when all Pandora's box is opened, your research results, the damn undead tectonics is likely to destroy the whole world.]
"Oh, since I don't do anything, the world is doomed, and if I continue to only 'may' be destroyed, let me continue."
Therefore, after the Seven Deadly Sins, their materials are not excellent. Best is an ordinary domestic dog, Adam is a group of corpses collected casually on the battlefield, jealousy is even a battleship with inorganic substances as the main ingredient, greed itself The material is just normal undead slime, but...
"Everything comes from the soul!"
Softly chanting the source of all this, for the undead, the flesh is not as important as most necromancers expect, and the soul is the root of everything.
My undead tectonics may be called soul evolution instead of the beliefs and beliefs required for the evolution of heroic spirits. What I gave them was the obsession in my soul.
Heroes and gods? What is a fool who is kidnapped by belief and other people's cognition? ! In the end, this continent must be grasped by intelligent beings with flesh and blood. What I gave to the seven original sins is the free self, the most fundamental human nature, and a more complete soul than the creator!
In this sense, they are indeed my children. My blessings allow them to have endless evolutionary potential to evolve into a soul essence that transcends heroic spirits, and they will always be a part of me, accompanying me to the end of the world. .
"Seven original sins? Hehe, that is also the most fundamental human nature, rage, anger and judgment against the unrighteous, gluttony, desire for physical evolution, lust, excessive love, jealousy, desire for the strengths and possessions of others, arrogance , the desire for the superior... Children, let me see where you will go after you have a more complete soul than the gods."
"Although it is said that the undead emperor is a lunatic, but dividing your own soul and using yourself as a test subject, you should be the most crazy one, Roland... Your Majesty."
The only person who has seen my real research results in this life is probably Heloise, who is bound to me. Now, I need this assistant to serve me. After I provided these materials, she rarely used them. The title of the next undead emperor to the undead emperor.
"...On this point, I'm still not as good as you. But I won't lose. I also have my own understanding of undead magic! One day, I will become the undead emperor with my research results!"
"Hehe, I am looking forward to the research results of the omniscient, but now, please help me, I need your knowledge accumulation and experimental data."
"Help you? In this camp full of undead? Oh, you're going to create undead creatures! Original sin?"
"No, no, I just saw a lot of materials and made some interesting little things. Although it is not the original sin level, it may not have the destructive power of the original sin level."
Unbeknownst to all the undead, I'm afraid, their super trouble has come due to someone's whim decision.
