Chapter 489 I Too Can Cheat Death
Martial Spirit Fission!
This was the ability Straxia obtained thanks to her fusion material. The material wasn't something that originated naturally but was something she synthesised based on countless knowledge that she had accumulated in the past three years.
She had also already obtained all the knowledge regarding the cultivation world even before entering it. So, she started at a higher step than Compass Carburettor in this regard.
That was also why she picked the Dellnum Realm, for it was beneficial for her.
Through her Martial Spirit Fission, Straxia was able to create as many Lightning Lemurs as she needed. Though, each fission required a tremendous amount of Origin Essence. But that was of no concern in the Velar Secret Realm.
She then planted the fission Martial Spirits in mortals, turning them into cultivators. And best of all was the fact that everyone had the Heaven Martial Spirit, Lightning Lemur as their Martial Spirits.
This meant that she could raise an army of cultivators with Heaven Martial Spirits.
All these Lightning Lemur fission products were under her control. They were pretty much an extension of her consciousness. So, even if they became strong, they would always be under her control.
There wasn't much to be done in the Origin Refinement Stage. But once they reached the Martial Origin Stage, if Straxia so desired, she could force the Lightning Lemurs to extract themselves from their respective cultivators, turning them into mortals.
But, these Lightning Lemurs wouldn't vanish. They would remain as Martial Spirits. And if she so desired, she could directly plant them in the bodies of other mortals, instantly turning them into Martial Origin Stage cultivators.
Though, such an action would shorten their lifespan. But, she wasn't concerned with something like that.
A significant other advantage arrived at the Martial Providence Stage when the cultivator and the Martial Spirit would fuse with one another. In this stage, the Lightning Lemur would directly destroy the cultivator's mind, solely taking control.
This way, she would obtain multiple copies of herself.
And the best factor of all was that she only needed to focus on self-development. Since everyone else also had the same Lightning Lemur, they could follow her example.
Besides that, any invention they create in regards to using their abilities could be learnt by everyone else, including her. This allowed their collective brainpower to be focused on just one aspect and improve it to the limit.
Straxia had already kidnapped tens of thousands by now, having implanted the Lightning Lemur in them all. The first generation of kidnapped children had already reached the Martial Origin Stage by now.
As to how they obediently followed her commands?
That was of no concern, for Straxia had decades of experience in leading this. After all, in the Apocalypse World, loop after loop, she became the Host to a certain System.
Cult Sovereign System!
So in every loop, she created cults that heeded her every order, working for her benefit. Brainwashing people into mindless believers was pretty easy.
She only had to put enough effort into the first generation. For the successive generations, the first generation took care of everything.
She was slowly gathering strength by only kidnapping those on the age of awakening their Martial Spirits. She didn't target the rest, at least, not at the moment.
But, she planned to do that once enough facilities for their living had been established in the Velar Secret Realm.
This was her plan to fight against Compass Carburettor. Aware that if left alone, he would create his own force, she decided to do what she did the best, creating a powerful cult to fight against the Main Character.
Irrespective of what force she created, they would fall short against the Main Character. Only those with a Heaven Martial Spirit were strong enough to even face him.
And hence, she did just that. Since everyone had the same Martial Spirit, they could unleash group attacks, rapidly raising their strength as an army.
Strong enough to flatten the Gaider Realm; that was her motive for raising an army. And if Compass Carburettor escaped from this war, he would lose a large portion of his Main Character traits, making him weak enough to be killed by other System Hosts easily.
Straxia didn't know what the other System Hosts were doing, not that she cared about at present. Once her force develops to a certain level, she could begin scouring for information from the other Realms.
"But before that, I have to take control of the Dellnum Realm." She muttered, "With that, I'll have enough talents and resources to raise a strong enough army, enough to take on the Gaider Realm."
Heaven Martial Spirits resulted in the fastest cultivation speed. One year to reach the peak of the Origin Refinement Stage, three years to reach the peak of the Martial Origin Stage, and around six years to reach the peak of the Martial Providence Stage.
Meaning, in a decade, she could raise the first generation to the peak of the cultivation stage. And this was her confidence in creating a strong enough force to fight Compass Carburettor.
After all, once they reach the Martial Providence Stage, they were pretty much her clones taking on various appearances and thought processes.
It would give her an advantage in the fight with Compass Carburettor. That wasn't all; once she reached the Martial Providence Stage herself, she would attain a special power.
It was that she would fuse with her Lightning Lemur. Meaning, she would become the Lightning Lemur herself. That meant that all the Lightning Lemurs in the bodies of others too would be her.
So, even if her original body was killed, she would be alive through the others, able to revive through them. This allowed her to fight without caring about life or death, able to recklessly go against her opponent.
After all, as long as even one Lightning Lemur was alive, she wouldn't truly die.
Basically, to fight against the Main Character, she pursued the same path that he had taken to fool others.
The ability to cheat death!
