The world doesn't need succubus to save

In the beginning, Caldiso was like all mind flayers.

In other words, like all the extraordinary creatures trapped in those broken spaces, they all received the same information, and their hearts were filled with anger.

Anger against other extraordinary creatures who are constantly invading their homeland, and the culprit of all this-human beings, hatred for them!
It is human beings who have turned their backs on the gods, and it is also they who have used despicable means to force the noble me who are the messengers of the gods into such a tragic situation where they can only kill each other.

no doubt!

All in all……

"It's all human's fault."

Everyone else around is hating, and Caldiso naturally has no unique point of view.

In other words, there is no particularly distinct individual consciousness with a brood consciousness.

It's just an ordinary mind flayer, hunting humans just like the rest of its kind.

Make your own counterattack against human beings, and transfer the pain they inflicted on themselves to others.

Until... that day.

That day, the mind flayer met an existence that was destined to change its entire life in the future.

About sixty or seventy winters ago, on an ordinary night, Cardiso took on an ordinary mission to go out.

It's really just a very simple task, just to clean up the humans in a remote area as invisible as possible, and lead the clues to the humans in the neighboring cities.

At the beginning, everything went smoothly, and those humans without any special power were like exquisite food picked at random in the hands of Cardiso.

It didn't restrain its desire to kill, and gradually forgot the requirements of the mission in the pleasure of revenge, but just instinctively feasted on that village, sucking out their brains.

In the last house, after blissfully draining the brains of an embracing couple, Caldiso discovers the truth about their unusual behavior.

In the arms of the mortal couple, there is a young boy who has been hidden.

Pointless, for mind flayers whose psionic use is as natural as breathing, their struggles are pointless.

Just as it was about to devour the child that was tightly guarded in their arms, its tentacles stopped.

Because he saw a pair of dark eyes that looked particularly strange at this time, calm like a child who had witnessed the death of his parents.

He didn't cry or struggle, but just stared at Cardiso seriously, as if he was seriously thinking about what he should do.

In the entire rather mediocre race of human beings, some individuals with special talents are always born from time to time.

The child in front of him has a talent similar to [Innate Superintelligence], no, that's not the case!

Even if his brain is too good to make him feel scared like a normal child, he shouldn't be so calm.

Unless... the boy's reason overcomes other weak emotions, allowing him to calmly analyze the situation in front of him and react.

A human has an innate ability similar to [mechanical mind]! ?
greedy.

Endless greed devoured Cardiso's mind, driving it into complete madness.

Caldiso understood what that meant.

It means that if it devours this boy's brain, it also has a certain probability of obtaining part of his talent!
The mind flayer's instinct made it impossible for Caldiso to resist this urge, and it couldn't wait to insert its tentacles into the boy's brain.

puff.

The boy didn't dodge, allowing the mind flayer to pierce the tentacle, which was covered in mucus, into his skull, touching the...

However, at that moment, Cardiso, who had just tasted the sweetness, was forced to stop his feast.

I don't know when, a light cone not much thicker than a child's arm pierced through the softest part of the upper side of Caldiso's tentacles!
It directly destroyed its brain!
who is it! ?
Where is the enemy?

Are your actions exposed?

Before he had time to think clearly, Cardiso sensed the alert that the security device he set up in the center of the village was triggered.

The other party is about to raid over, and there are a lot of them!

Although it was a pity for that genius brain, the seriously injured Caldiso did not get greedy anymore, and decisively chose to follow the mastermind's order to retreat.

Later, Caldiso couldn't remember how he escaped back to the city-state, but when he woke up from his sleeping brain, he found a difference.

It, Caldiso, a mind flayer has its own consciousness independent of the main brain.

But for Cardiso, this is the beginning of another nightmare.

Maybe he really got some special ability from that boy, and Cardiso began to think about himself uncontrollably.

Unlike other extraordinary creatures, mind flayers can obtain more information, memories, personalities, and even fears from the human brain.

In the past, Cardiso would not care about it, but now he can't help thinking, constantly reorganizing and analyzing the information that was once ignored...

what is true
What is fake?
This question often leads to different conclusions depending on the perspective you look at.

The so-called truth, many times, is actually not conclusive.

Even if there is, it can only be said that for some specific groups of people, they think so.

So, after experiencing an unknown amount of time, Cardiso came to a conclusion that it couldn't understand at all before.

"I don't admit it! How could we be invaders? This is absolutely impossible."

This is absolutely impossible!

That's right...

"This is a deception, and this war is the biggest deception!"

"No, no, that's not it!"

"We, how could we be the invaders!?"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

Cardiso thought he had discovered the truth, but in the end he couldn't do anything.

No one is willing to listen to its "crazy" ideas, and its voice cannot be heard by others.

When everyone has only one idea, and no one is allowed to refute it, then those who raise objections... will become different.

Sober people are the most absurd.

Moreover, in addition, mind flayers themselves are not liked by others, and Cardiso, who has independent thinking, is also an alien even among mind flayers.

So, it's crazy.

In the eyes of everyone, Cardiso is crazy.

The shame of a mind flayer who was reverse corrupted by humans and lost his mind.

At that time, Cardiso, who lost his mind in the eyes of everyone, suddenly received a special order.

That was a call from a saint!
