Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 42 Humanity and Dragon Nature

A person's mental character is not only affected by memory, but also affected by the body.

This influence includes the secretion of hormones, the neural circuits of the brain and the inherited genes related to personality.

And in this magical world, thinking and character are also affected by magic.

The most obvious example is the demons, all of whom are strange creatures with chaotic thoughts, and most importantly, they will not change after repeated admonition.

Those demon lords and demon princes have learned so many lessons in the material plane, and they will not change their character after losing countless times in bloody battles.

This is the most striking example of being under the influence of magic.

And the body of the giant dragon is undoubtedly much more complex and stronger than Murphy's mortal body in his previous life.

After Murphy's rebirth, his personality changed greatly. Eating demons was as easy as eating and drinking in his previous life.

This is the same as other races use the ritual of rebirth to become dragonborn of Bahamut.

Abandoning the abilities of the original race, sacrificing the family and friends from the racial identity, as well as the original way of life.

But this is only a change in thinking and character.

The mind is a very mysterious thing. It is influenced by the character of thought, and it is related to the soul in this world, but it is an independent existence.

The body, soul, and mind influence each other and have their own independent parts.

And Murphy realized that his active mind seemed to come from the human nature of the previous life, and had nothing to do with the dragon nature of this life.

"My humanity can be independent in the mind?"

"Once I'm awakened as a psion, I won't get schizophrenia, will I?"

With his rich knowledge, Murphy thought carefully for a long time, and finally analyzed what was going on.

Murphy, who was reborn as the Eternal Punishment Dragon, his human nature was gradually covered by the dragon nature, but this covering is not perfect, and he will always have a remnant of human nature.

Occasionally when he was beating Ah Da, or mind-controlling and brainwashing Ah Er.

The human part will show compassion.

However, this kind of influence is limited, just like some people feel unbearable when they see pigs and cattle slaughtered, but they can eat pork and beef as they should.

Strict spiritual training will certainly release the power of the mind, but the wild and primitive emotions will also burst into dazzling brilliance.

After more than 20 years of polishing in the previous life, Murphy's remaining humanity is like a stubborn stone.

The more you are suppressed by dragon nature, the easier it is to accumulate strength like a spring.

It wasn't a big deal at first, as long as Murphy lived as a dragon for a few more years.

In the end, it will be pierced by water drops and stones, and it will be completely shattered.

The strange thing is that Murphy has gained knowledge about psionic power, and knowledge is also a kind of tangible power.

In other words, the more knowledge you have, the more you can change an individual's mental model.

The mental model is also the basis for the mage to release spells.

This is why the more advanced the spellcaster, the more powerful the spells released.

This is not just because the more knowledge you have, the deeper your understanding and application of spells.

Also because of the esoteric knowledge of magic, it has alienated the spirit of the caster, making it easier to shape and use magic energy.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be the affinity of magical energy.

The higher the level of the caster, the higher the affinity of magic energy (the degree of spiritual alienation).

Although Murphy's actual mage level is still very low, his degree of spiritual alienation is not low.

It can be seen from the fact that he can easily increase the caster level through ritual casting.

Although ritual casting can theoretically allow a warrior without magical talent to cast spells.

Even if you donate your life and enough sacrifices, legendary spells can be released.

But these are time-consuming and expensive casting materials.

It's not like Murphy at all. Except that there is no high-level spell slot, the difficulty of performing the ritual is no different from that of a high-level mage.

And because of this, Murphy's humanity found a way out of the alienated spirit under the influence of the subconscious, and that was hidden in Murphy's mind.

Stimulate the potential and wait for the dazzling brilliance.

Of course, Murphy has a way to obliterate this newly active mind. After all, his 18-point knowledge (psychic power) is not a decoration.

But he was a little reluctant.

Because Murphy didn't know, after successfully stimulating the spiritual power this time, how many years would be the next activation.

This is not to say that 18 points of Knowledge (Psionics) are useless.

Rather, theory is theory, and talent is talent.

Sports coaches are all rich in theory, but if you ask them to carry out practical training, they are far inferior to the athletes under your hands.

Even through a rigorous study plan and persistent practice, a psychic scholar who can finally arouse inner psychic powers.

A bit of psionic talent is also required.

Without this bit of talent, one would never be able to cross the threshold of psionic abilities.

Murphy doesn't know now whether he has this talent or not.

Because the mutation of his human nature is really an unprecedented coincidence.

Few creatures possess such a wealth of knowledge after undergoing such a drastic racial transformation.

The ones who have this kind of transformation most often should be the telepaths among the psions. They use the eighth-level ability [Mental Seed] or the ninth-level ability [True Soul Exchange] to often change their race.

But they are psionists, and they have already shown psionic powers, so it doesn't matter whether they are talented or not.

Therefore, Murphy decided to hold off and try to see if he could stimulate the dragon side, combine the two, and avoid possible schizophrenia.

……

"These Styx waters are still so dirty."

Beside the Faye Swamp, which is where Murphy stayed before moving his position.

The tall figure of the overlord demon Megan Lis stepped on the bank of the River Styx, looking at the greasy and rancid water of the River Styx and muttering to himself.

No matter the yellow worms twisted by the soul or the newly evolved original demons around him, they dare not approach him.

Megan Lis was using [Advanced Teleportation] and came to this place from his palace in an instant.

He planned to find the succubus Margaret himself while relaxing.

The planet where the Faye Swamp is located is 180 kilometers in diameter and has a surface area of ​​about [-] square kilometers. The search this time is not destined to be so easy.

But the rule of demons is not as cumbersome as the kingdom of the material plane.

Megan Lith can do whatever he wants, and he even thinks about whether to fight with other Overlord Demons nearby.

Try to conquer in order to gain the rewards of the abyss.

A step closer to the lord of the Kaserli plane.

"Decades ago, there were two adult Yongfei dragons in this place, but unfortunately they ran too fast, and I couldn't eat the dragon meat."

"I still remember the black dragon that I ate a long time ago. I still haven't forgotten the deliciousness."

As the overlord demon, Megan Lis is powerful, and he is not afraid of those powerful dragons at all, and even treats them as food.

And as long as the giant dragon does not know [Dimensional Anchor], he can escape anytime and anywhere with [Advanced Teleportation].

"Let's look for dear Margaret, this little cutie is so naughty, where did she go?"

"I really miss her so much, I really want to tear her to pieces."
