Chapter 218 Brainiac Loses His Mind
Brainiac did not walk into the portal rashly, not because he was afraid of Du Mu.

But he was also very interested in studying these purple flames.

Such pure power of destruction and destructiveness is rare in the universe.

Although Brainiac possesses billions of weapons technologies that can produce powerful destructive power, they are essentially the use of some kind of energy and matter.

Even the most basic and simple nuclear weapons are based on the nuclear fusion reactions that are the daily behavior of stars, which are the source of life for most planets.

The duality of destruction and production exists in all energy.

But these purple flames were different... Brainiac tried many ways to absorb energy, but even if he succeeded, these purple flames would be annihilated at a very fast speed after stabilizing, making it difficult for them to do work.

Brainiac's careful observation revealed that the process of these purple flames destroying and eroding everything almost resulted in mutual destruction.

They do not burn and spread matter as combustibles, but are constantly integrating into all matter, allowing the matter and themselves to be annihilated together.

Therefore, the power of its first attack is extremely great, but as long as it can withstand the first blow, the subsequent destructive power will not even be as great as the smallest ordinary flame.

This made Brainiac feel novel yet somewhat boring.

This form of destructive power is quite clean, but unfortunately it cannot be used to do work. Its greatest use is as an incinerator to destroy polluting substances.

But Brainiac is not an environmentalist. The waste generated by his production will be directly discharged into the vast vacuum of the universe. He never cares about pollution or not.

Of course, the computing power of Brainiac's brain and spinal cord is too great to be used for just a single process.

At the same time, he was also studying the fixed portal, upgrading his own protective shield system, repairing the hardware bug that had been breached before, and analyzing the scanned physical data of Du Mu.

At this moment, the violent purple flames that filled the entire portal suddenly seemed to transform from a ferocious space beast into a docile house cat.

They went from brutally trying to fill every gap in space to being controllable and politely arranged on both sides of the portal.

These purple flames filled with a destructive aura were now like passionate flowers, forming a gorgeous and magnificent road.

A boot stepped out of the portal and landed on the floor of the central command room of the Skeleton Ship.

Du Mu, who had already rescued Kara and no longer had to worry about any accidental injuries, stepped into Brainiac's most heavily armed hub again with a calm and interested look.

Brainiac looked at Du Mu with narrowed eyes, imitating his indifferent expression and said, "You actually dared to come back. I thought you ran away. You are very brave."

Du Mu shook his head and chuckled: "Courage? I don't have any use for it for now."

Brainiac frowned as the countless sensors on the spacecraft were sounding the alarm for him.

The other party was using a technology they had never seen before to scan and survey his spaceship.

Brainiac waved his hand, and the Kryptonians who had been unable to get close to the purple flames before immediately rushed towards Du Mu.

Du Mu waved his hand, and the expressions of these Kryptonians suddenly froze. They lost their ability to resist, and were instantly swallowed up by the purple flames of the Power Stone and annihilated in time and space.

Brainiac frowned. He had just been monitoring Du Mu's actions throughout, so he could naturally see what he had done.

"It's actually possible to swap the left and right brains of these Kryptonians directly through their muscles and bones... amazing space technology."

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "That's great. I hope your knowledge can give me at least two Earth hours of learning."

At the same time, Brainiac waved his hand and asked those fearless Kryptonians to retreat and no longer participate in the battle.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​saving these Kryptonians and let them continue to charge, at least trying to interfere with Du Mu.

"Krypton has been destroyed. I thought these Kryptonians were quite valuable. I don't want them all to be lost in your hands."

Brainiac put his hands behind his back, slowly floated up, and fell into the "slot" that belonged to him in the control room.

Having said that, in fact, the transmission line connecting the entire spacecraft has been plugged into his body and has never been disconnected. He just adjusted the position of himself and the cable.

"But I thought... I will soon be able to get the technology to travel through parallel universes from you. Whether it is Kryptonians or Zanias, I can get as many as you want. They have lost their rarity."

Du Mu also didn't care. Although the Kryptonians were controlled by Brainiac, these guys were the murderers of Carl, and they also tried to kill Kara, and even planned to destroy the earth and rebuild Krypton.

From the perspective of the Kryptonians, they are not wrong, but Du Mu is not a Kryptonian.

Therefore, there is no need to hold back against these guys. Even though they are being controlled to attack Du Mu, even if they are free, they are still a threat to the earth, so Du Mu will not hold back against them.

Kryptonians do have some resistance to magic, but they are just a little stronger than ordinary people, so they just consume a little more mana.

Fortunately, I have learned real magic... otherwise, it might be a bit difficult to deal with these Kryptonians. After all, they are guys with infinite strength and can fly.

But for Du Mu, who had become the Supreme Mage, crushing them to death was a piece of cake.

These fearless Kryptonians had no fear of death, so they died.

On the way to Du Mu, he fell down and was then burned to ashes by the purple flames under Du Mu's feet, leaving nothing behind.

The Kryptonian is very fast...but Du Mu is just as fast.

If there is no big difference in physical fitness and reaction speed, then Du Mu, who can do magic, will be a complete crushing defeat for the Kryptonians.

But even so, the Kryptonians still managed to delay Du Mu's actions, so that his first few spells were not cast on Brainiac.

Brainiac collected the Zanians and Kryptonians, but he didn't use them as thugs... He just collected them and used them if he saw they were useful.

But in essence, these two are just Brainiac's collections, not combat units.

Brainiac's combat power is not reflected in his ability to control different races with his psychic powers and act as a summoner in the back row.

His own scientific and technological strength is the fundamental reason why he can roam the universe.

Brainiac's pupils glowed purple, an outward manifestation of endless information washing over his vision like a tsunami.

Du Mu almost immediately felt several different types of attacks being directed at him.

This prevented him from engulfing the last two Kryptonians in flames, and only caused them to switch their left and right brains, causing them to lose all ability to move and think.

"It's very novel. It turns out that so many functions can be achieved without magic."

Du Mu let out a slight exclamation, then formed a magical seal with his hands, and layers of magic arrays continued to spread, circling, and surrounding his hands.

At this moment, Du Mu first felt a gravity thousands of times greater than that exerted on himself, followed by an external high pressure similar to that of the deep sea, followed by space distortion, brain wave and magnetic field interference, and mental shock.

These field attacks are the fastest and most harmless to Brainiac's spaceship.

"But the way I distort space is a little awkward. You see, the magic I just performed was learned and iterated on the spot, right?"

Du Mu smiled.

This way, one can instantly analyze the fighting style of others, learn and utilize it when needed. Enemies that improve at such a terrifying speed are undoubtedly extremely hopeless for most lives.

The technology that took thousands or tens of thousands of years to develop can be understood in just a few seconds and replicated for you in a few minutes. Anyone would feel horrified and helpless.

But Du Mu is not included.

Because Du Mu is also of this type.

He didn't know why other Kryptonians, after acquiring such super learning abilities, still only used their fists to speak. They could learn all the knowledge in the world within a day, but they threw it away.

Anyway, since Kryptonians do not value the luxury of learning ability, Du Mu tries his best to explore all the potential in it.

The previous month was enough time for Du Mu to learn all the knowledge in Kamar-Taj and Dormammu's memory, and review it dozens of times.

He was like a butcher cutting up an ox, neutralizing all of Brainiac's field attacks one by one.

Gravity and high pressure...don't worry about it. Kryptonians don't care about it because of their physique.

The space is distorted, Brainiac is the younger brother. In order to study the portal, Du Mu continues to strengthen his spatial perception ability. For Du Mu now, space has almost no secrets.

Using magnetic fields to try to interfere with biological brain waves... Du Mu possesses the magnetic field control ability of Magneto.

If Brainiac's spaceship had not been demagnetized as a whole and the energy was not electricity, Du Mu would have crushed his spaceship into a ball long ago. He also wanted to use the magnetic field to interfere with Du Mu's mind, which was also like showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong.

It's just a psychological shock, but it's quite good.

Brainiac and Du Mu are both strong men who can do multiple things at the same time. In the material world, the two of them counter each other's moves, constantly learn each other's techniques to improve themselves, and their technical strength is spiraling upward.

And in the spiritual world... Brainiac's spiritual energy was like the vast and boundless galaxy, surging and rushing towards him like a tsunami.

But Du Mu... Du Mu's spiritual energy was like a magic needle that connected heaven and earth. Under the influence of Brainiac's mind, it stood still, like a golden pillar in the other's blue spiritual ocean.

"You...your mind is so strong?"

In the spiritual world, a small part of Brainiac's consciousness looked at the giant golden tree standing in the ocean of his mind in disbelief.

Brainiac had never seen such a mind before.

Occasionally there are mortals with strong hearts, but they are just a small boat in his vast ocean of the soul, fleeting.

Even if there is a hero of a certain race with an extremely strong mind, he is like a lonely reef. With his constant washing, water dripping through stone will also slowly erode him.

But the man in front of him... his mental strength can not only withstand the erosion of his spiritual ocean, but can even continuously weaken the tidal force of his spiritual ocean while remaining unmoved.

Every time Brainiac mobilized his psychic energy to wash over his opponent, he would eventually feel exhausted and had to expend more psychic energy to maintain his strength.

Du Mu was also observing Brainiac's mind ocean and nodded slightly: "I see, your mind energy is indeed very huge, no wonder you can easily control those Kryptonians and the legendary Zanians who are not afraid of mental attacks."

"In terms of sheer quantity, I'm really not as good as you."

"But... your mental energy is constantly expanding in order to gain more computing power and memorize more knowledge."

On the straight golden tree, Du Mu's golden incarnation bent down slightly, reached out his hand, and scooped up a handful of spiritual energy from Brainiac's spiritual ocean.

It is filled with dense knowledge and experience, a mere drop in the ocean, but equivalent to the combined thinking and memory of all living things on Earth over an entire era.

but……

"99.99% of it is useless, redundant knowledge..."

"You know how to make a space gate, and at least you can make a spaceship on a production line. Why do you keep detailed data on bicycles, kayaks, and even roller skates?"

"Even for a single pair of roller skates, there are hundreds of millions of different manufacturing techniques from different civilizations that are similar in effect but adapted to different body types... You are simply creating junk data attacks for yourself all the time."

Du Mu couldn't help but complain. Brainiac wanted to become the Laplace demon of the universe and record all knowledge. The result was that he really recorded all knowledge crazily.

But the result is that the junk data is really too redundant.

No wonder the original book exaggerates so much, with only a few high-tech methods being demonstrated each time.

Indeed, the planets that could be exterminated by Brainiac had uneven development, and few of them were able to reach the level of being able to colonize different planets at will.

For a civilization, from primitive times to the interstellar age, knowledge is naturally presented in the form of a pyramid or even a thumbtack.

The more backward the knowledge, the more it has.

In addition, we all live in the same universe, thermodynamics is unified, mechanics is unified, and when it comes to cutting-edge knowledge, they all end up in the same place with very little difference.

But the original knowledge became more and more bizarre.

Du Mu sighed, "This is why I never took you seriously from the beginning... Brainiac. It's just that I still have a little hope for you, and I hope you can exceed my imagination."

"But you are really just like the Internet on our planet. Although there is a lot of valuable knowledge, there is even more data garbage. If you want to find something real, you have to rely on panning for gold in shit."

“And your spiritual ocean is the side of your cognition. If you just increase the size of it, your original self will be discarded.”

"Indeed, you can scare many mortals whose mental strength is not strong enough... But in front of me, every bit of energy that makes up your mind is not threatening at all. No matter how huge your size is, it cannot shake my spirit in the slightest."

With Du Mu's words, Brainiac's spiritual ocean gradually began to surge into huge waves.

Du Mu watched as his originally azure sea of ​​​​mind gradually turned red, and after merging with the original blue, it looked more and more like the purple of his material world.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Are you angry already? Brainiac, don't you claim to be rational?"

Du Mu, who possesses countless mind-reading abilities, has naturally been constantly using soul-reading and various versions of mind-reading on Brainiac.

That's why he could accurately hit Brainiac's pain points and directly taunt him to break his defense.

At the same time, Du Mu's golden tree also moved.

"I am different, Brainiac. I have learned the limits of my heart and spirit."

“From the beginning, I strengthened my spirit and heart so that I could maintain my self and my nature in all difficulties and chaos.”

“What I strengthen is never the ‘knowledge’ I get from others, but only ‘myself’, nothing more.”

"As for you..."

The originally straight golden tree suddenly blossomed.

Countless tree roots pierced into Brainiac's soul, causing the real Brainiac to roar in anger because of the pain in his mind.

But then, the roots of those golden trees slowly rose up.

Brainiac, who was already extremely angry, was stunned when he saw part of his heart entangled by those tree roots.

"Hmm...it turns out you have a wife and quite a few sons."

Du Mu looked at the part of soul that was fished out from the roots of the golden tree. Those were the emotions that Brainiac had hidden deep in his heart.

Sure enough, he in this world was indeed an ordinary mortal from the beginning.
Du Mu's golden clone touched his chin and said, "You also shrunk your wife, children, and the city you once lived in and turned them into your own collections. You thought you no longer needed them."

"But as I said, the mortal mind has its limits."

“You think you no longer need spiritual support, you think you are strong enough… but it makes your heart even more fragile and weak, and you can only rely on constantly absorbing information to keep yourself from being bored and empty to the point of going crazy.”

Du Mu looked again at the other handful of spiritual fragments that were fished out from the golden tree.

Brainiac was extremely angry at this time. He mobilized all the firepower on the spaceship and vented it towards Du Mu's physical body, but Du Mu constantly resolved it with magic and his strong body.

The ocean of the soul was equally turbulent, but Brainiac's soul was too heavy, with too much redundant information, making it difficult for him to form a spiritual entity to resist Du Mu's exploration of the depths of his soul.

"But unfortunately, this redundant information is not only meaningless, but also continues to dilute your already increasingly thin self."

Du Mu didn't care about Brainiac's feedback at all, and commented with a smile: "A vicious cycle has been formed. Now, the more you know, the lonelier you become."

After saying this, Brainiac almost went crazy.

The ocean of his mind began to boil wildly, and Du Mu noticed that he was discarding information and knowledge that was not important at all.

"Are you thinking about concentrating your mind now? That's a little late."

As Du Mu spoke, he continued to look at the fragments of the soul that the golden tree had dug out.

It shows... a little girl with purple hair.

This little girl was not from any planet, not even from Brainiac's home planet, and no one had ever seen her in the material world.

However, she is now Brainiac's spiritual support.

"Queen Brainiac..."

Du Mu was amazed.

Brainiac is indeed a mortal, and in his pursuit of endless knowledge, he is also pursuing infinite rationality.

Brainiac, like this, treats his own sensibility as a kind of waste, completely suppressing the redundant and backward brain circuits that occupy his computing power.

But in the final analysis, as a living being, we need emotions.

Brainiac would also want the company of his family.

But his real wife, his real children... their stupidity was unbearable for Brainiac, who was no longer the same as before.

So Brainiac took a different approach.

He wants to create a perfect family for himself.

This family member is like a mother, tolerant of Brainiac; like a wife, sharing similar interests with Brainiac; like a child, able to pass on the knowledge and will that Brainiac considers precious.

She will obey him, as if she were a child in need of care. Brainiac will give her all his love and affection, regard her as the continuation of his life and his possession, and free her from the fear of death and confusion about the future.

She will rule him like an august queen, becoming his backbone, issuing orders and allowing him to completely let go of his sense of responsibility and regard satisfying the queen's orders as his direction of progress, thus getting rid of confusion and emptiness.

This is Queen Brainiac, an artificial lifeform created by Brainiac himself.

So in the final analysis, it was Brainiac's idea of ​​efficiency that was at work, and he actually tried to make one individual satisfy all of his social emotional needs.

This also makes its design extremely complicated. So far it is only a prototype and is far from the perfect form that Brainiac believes.

"Sure enough, tech geeks are also geeks. Geeks are really disgusting."

Du Mu made this comment after reading Brainiac's deepest desires.

This comment obviously hurt Brainiac deeply.

"Go to hell!"

At this moment, Brainiac completely lost his mind after being ridiculed for the first time since becoming the Collector of the Universe.

He no longer cared whether he could obtain the technology to travel through parallel worlds from Du Mu. Now, he just wanted to make Du Mu, the bastard who had seen all his inner privacy, die!

Du Mu in the material world, however, curled up the corners of his mouth.

Making someone lose their mind is easier than you think.

This was the opportunity he was waiting for.

Du Mu folded his hands and continuously dismantled all the devices on the Brainiac spacecraft at the casting speed of a Kryptonian.

That's right, Kara had indeed been rescued by him, and he also told Brainiac that he would not hold back in the next battle.

However, Du Mu never forgot... Brainiac's habit.

His spaceship also contains countless prosperous cities of civilization!

The number of innocent people inside is difficult to calculate.

If it weren't for their concerns, Du Mu wouldn't bother to mock Brainiac's privacy.

And now... Brainiac has lost the leverage to threaten him with them.

In the martial arts hall, an anxious Kara was pacing back and forth, kicking the rolling Zania people to the center of the hall to prevent them from falling.

At this moment, Kara turned around suddenly and saw glass jars one after another falling into the martial arts hall from mid-air.

And inside the glass jars, among the exquisite cities, there are countless confused and tiny lives.

Kara immediately spotted a familiar city building among the glass jars.

Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth, filled with surprise and joy.

That is... the famous prosperous city in Krypton, Kandor!

With her enhanced super vision, she could tell at a glance that there were probably millions of Krypton residents!

"Master!"

Kara raised her head and looked at the portal, but the portal was still wrapped in purple flames and she could not see the environment on the other side.

She knelt carefully and held the glass jar of Kandor City in her arms.

It turns out that so many of our compatriots are still alive.

This made Kara unable to hold back her tears, and her heart was filled with gratitude towards Du Mu.

Unlike Superman, Kara has not lived on Earth since childhood.

To her, the residents of this city are her lost and found compatriots.
