You will surrender to me.

"No, it's just strange. When I saw her yesterday, I didn't see her wearing a 'pendant' like that around her neck. Do you have a lot of such 'pendants' here?"

Naoto pretended to be simply curious about the 'pendant' and asked Sakurazawa Tomomitsu.

"Pendant? The one on Miyajima-san's neck? I don't think I've seen it very often, but it looks pretty good. I'll ask where you bought it later."

Sakurazawa Tomomitsu looked at Miyajima Sakura and it was a long while before he answered Naoto.

Not bad? This thing looks like a thin little iron ring. How can you tell it's "not bad"?

Naoto looked at Sakurazawa Tomomi with some surprise. He always had a bad feeling, but he didn't know where this feeling came from.

Logically speaking, he had already absorbed the "ring" and obtained enough "mystery" from Sister Anna to fill his own gaps. Where did the extra "ring" come from? Could it be that someone could make this thing now?

Naoto was thinking when he suddenly heard a cheer. He then withdrew his thoughts and looked towards the fighting arena not far away. It seemed that Miyajima Sakura had defeated her opponent in just a few moves, but Naoto didn't notice.

But it didn't take long. Excluding the time at the beginning, it was probably resolved in about ten seconds. And it seemed that he gave face. It can be seen that Miyajima Sakura is really awesome among this group of people.

Naoto didn't really care about this. He just hoped that the exhibition match would end soon so that he could go find Miyajima Sakura and ask her where the "pendant" came from.

Chapter 238: Magic and Magical Power; Mina Morita and the Shield

"The world is in turmoil. It looks like it won't be long before the gate to the world reopens."

Riya's voice sighed in Zizhigong Xia Ye's ears.

"Excluding the time you've been in hibernation, you're not much older than me. What are you sighing about?"

Natsuye Murasaki took off her shoes, put on house slippers, and walked towards her room.

With Rhea's perception and narration along the way, Xia Ye of the Purple Palace finally understood that this seemingly peaceful place was actually full of undercurrents, with succubi, nightmares, and some sub-human hybrids.

Now that the 'mystery' has not only stopped becoming thinner, but has also shown signs of increasing in the opposite direction, this is undoubtedly great news for some 'people' who are already extraordinary creatures or have some extraordinary bloodline.

As the 'mystery' gradually fills up, their changes will become more obvious. Compared to pure-blooded humans who rapidly degenerate due to adapting to the environment after the 'mystery' is reduced, their various ability indicators will improve faster.

This also means that for a period of time afterwards, pure-blooded humans can only retreat to the second line, and wait until they have adapted to the environment full of "mystery" again before they can take the stage and seize a place.

There is no way around it. Everything has its own flaws. Demi-humans and other natural supernatural creatures are basically weaker than humans after the "mystery" has diluted. Except for the fantasy species, they are basically only superior to humans in terms of physical strength or certain specific abilities, such as their generally longer lifespans.

However, in terms of technology, humans reached the maximum value, far surpassing those extraordinary creatures such as the demi-humans. Even the original magical technology was extended by humans based on the goblin technology from another world, and even exported it back to the goblins. Their trade deficit was outrageous, and at that time they were the strongest workers for mankind.

But perhaps because of the serious imbalance in their studies, the lifespan of humans is still relatively short even after becoming extraordinary beings, at most five hundred years, at least two hundred years, which is barely enough to compete with some ordinary races of sub-humans.

In this world, cats and dogs only have a lifespan of a dozen or twenty years. For demi-humans, that number would be zero. It's quite outrageous. Moreover, the fertility of some demi-humans is only stronger than that of humans. Fortunately, there are many races that don't care much about fertility. If you average it out, they are about the same as humans.

"Riya, do you think that when there are more 'mysteries', will the demi-humans start a war? They will definitely recover before us. You said that they are born extraordinary, unlike us humans who have to practice all the time."

Thinking of some novels she had read, Xia Ye Zizhimiya was a little worried about what would happen next.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Everyone is so comfortable now, and as long as humans don't reveal it and pretend, they won't act rashly. And it's been so many years, how can there still be so many dictators?

Even if there are, they still have to integrate their own tribe first. As long as they are intelligent creatures, there will rarely be internal strife. Unless the tribe is in crisis, they basically fight each other.

We humans, oh, I'm not human now, but humans are the same anyway, but the good thing about humans is that they are fast enough. Compared with humans, sub-humans can basically be considered immortal, and the fantasy sub-humans are even more outrageous. Unless there are accidents, forty generations of humans cannot survive one generation of others.

But they often have no sense of time because of this. As long as humans focus on the technology tree, it will be no problem for one person to form an army in the end."

Rhea is obviously proud of her former human identity. As long as humans are given a certain amount of time to develop, they can quickly become one of the overlords no matter what the environment is. This can be considered a unique talent of humans.

"By the way, speaking of which, back then you could only use magic after becoming a transcendent?"

Natsuye Murasaki suddenly thought of the classic setting of many fantasy novels, magic. Although many people now have some superpowers that may be useless but are still considered to have special talents, magic similar to this is also something that many people yearn for, and she is no exception. Who didn't have the idea of ​​becoming a magical girl when they were a child?

“No, everyone can do it, but the situation is different. Back then, we slowly introduced magic power into our bodies, or used the magic power that was everywhere.

The former is our method of practicing and advancing to a transcendent level, while the latter is a method used by ordinary people.

Magic itself exists with "mystery", so when we introduce magic it is equivalent to introducing "mystery" into our body, which also increases our own "mystery", thereby improving our own status and reaching an extraordinary realm. As for how to subdivide the extraordinary realm, it is still very far away from you. I will tell you when you reach a certain realm in the future.

In addition, in my opinion, your current superpowers are just magic power randomly forming some kind of imprint in your body.

The so-called ability to use is nothing more than unconsciously mobilizing the magic power in your body to operate according to the pattern of the imprint itself. It's just that you have completely lost the relevant knowledge you had at the beginning, so naturally it becomes a kind of superpower.

Don't you have something that can detect the fluctuations of so-called super powers? That thing should be something related to the remaining magic detectors from the past, so it can detect super powers, that is, the use of magic.

In fact, you can use special abilities thanks to the magic imprints in your body, which greatly saves the magic power needed to use them. However, less magic power is less magic power, and the effect of using them is still relatively poor. "

Rhea explained that she had been puzzled from the beginning. It made no sense that humans could use special abilities when the 'mystery' was so thin. Only after meeting some people on the road did she slowly come to terms with the situation.

"Then how can I become the extraordinary you mentioned?"

Zizhigong Xia Ye looked at her own hands. Her fingers were slender, and her skin was fair and delicate, which was very beautiful.

"The simplest way is to seduce someone, take him to a deserted corner, kill him, and then absorb his evil thoughts and soul power."

Rhea spoke lightly, as if in her eyes the so-called people were just consumables for cultivation.

"kill?"

Zizhigong Xia Ye was dumbfounded. Let alone people, she had killed chickens at most, but they were animals. How could people be compared with chickens? At most, she had the idea of ​​beating people when she was angry, which was far from killing people.

"Yes, this is the simplest and fastest. Of course, I don't recommend this. It's still quite troublesome in your society, so you can change it to abuse. Anyway, as long as it's evil thoughts, whether it's pain, greed, lust, or anything else, I can help you filter it. As long as you can resist the negative emotions that the power itself brings, there will be no subsequent problems."

Rhea said calmly that although she was not very old, she had experienced war to some extent. Even if it was only marginal experience, it was enough for her to develop a selectively indifferent way of thinking.

"Is there no other way?"

Zizhigong Xia Ye still couldn't accept this way of improvement.

"I have lost most of my memories, so this is the only way I can extract them from my current abilities. By the way, some of my companions should also be in other parts of this world. As the 'mystery' begins to fill up, they should wake up one after another. You'd better be prepared."

Rhea said that she had no other choice. She was sealed and her "mystery" was still very thin. She was now just a weapon with the "immortality" attribute. Apart from that, she had no special abilities.

"Your companions are also sealed in something like you? Does this mean that you are all immortal?"

Xia Ye from Zizhigong suddenly noticed a key point. In their current state, they have no lifespan at all. As long as their weapons cannot be destroyed, they will not die. This is considered to be an indirect realization of the legendary immortality.

"Well, you can say that, but if we don't have a biological medium, we won't be able to act at all. If we act alone for a long time, we will really go crazy. Our souls won't be able to bear it."

Rhea was stunned, then shook her head and said.

"That's right, this is also a case of giving up in order to gain."

Zizhigong Xiaye nodded.

-------------------------------------

In the basement of a house somewhere.

"Mom, is this our family's 'sacred weapon'?"

Mina Morita looked curiously at the door-sized object hanging on the wall and asked her mother.

It was a shield, nearly two meters high. Unlike traditional round or square shields, this shield was more like a triangle, with sharp spikes at the bottom and blade-like barbs with blades facing downwards around the edges of the shield. The upper part of the shield was inlaid with a red diamond-shaped gem.

"Yes, this is something that has been passed down in our clan for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that after so many years, its owner this time would be a little girl."

Without waiting for Yumiko Morita to answer, an old man with a white goatee standing next to her stroked his beard and hummed.

In the past, because it was a peaceful time, this thing, as the source of the image of the family emblem, was still a symbol of the family's supreme power. Whoever held it was the master. When the "mystery" began to fill in, it became a thing with practical significance.

This is a divine artifact. Although it is not really a divine weapon, since ancient times, even though it has been used in battles countless times by our ancestors and has been corroded by time, this thing is still as intact as new. Nothing can leave a mark on this shield.

"Hmph, don't worry. We are a family with a long history. Rules are rules. Since you are the first to awaken your potential, then the owner of this shield should be you. No one can object. However, you are not yet suitable to be the clan leader, so the clan leader position will remain unchanged for the time being."

The old man with a goatee looked at the timid Mina Morita and shook his head with some dissatisfaction, but still said so.

"Ok."

Mina Morita nodded quickly in response.

"Then I'll go out first. You can slowly get familiar with its power."

The old man with a goatee took another look at the shield on the wall, reached out for the cloth badge on his chest that was exactly the same style as the shield, then turned and walked out.

"Mother......"

Mina Morita looked at Yumiko Morita as if asking for help.

"Mina, don't worry, mom is with you. Your potential is the first to be stimulated, and you should feel it very clearly. The world is about to change. We are actually a hybrid race of demihumans and humans.

However, our ancestors used some secret method to allow us to retain the power of the Fengti tribe while completely transforming into humans. However, these powers are hidden deep in the body and can only be activated when we have both luck and ability.

You should be happy that you have activated your abilities, so that you can protect yourself and him, right?"

Yumiko Morita gently touched Mina Morita's hair and spoke tenderly.

"....Um...."

Mina Morita still didn't quite understand, but she knew that with this ability, she could protect herself, her mother, and Naoto.

So Mina Morita stretched out her hand and touched the large shield with a white background, a red border and golden patterns.

In a trance, Mina Morita felt as if she had the ability to control the shield. Subconsciously, she thought about making the shield smaller. As she thought so, the shield in front of her quickly shrank from a nearly two-meter-high shield to a size that was just right for Mina Morita to hold.

"That's great, Mina. It looks like you and it fit in really well."

Yumiko Morita praised.

"Yeah, it feels surprisingly light, and it feels like I was born knowing how to swing it. It feels very familiar."

Mina Morita kept waving the shield and seemed to be enjoying it.

Then, an idea popped into Mina Morita's mind. Before she could think it through, the shield in her hand began to change, shrinking until it was only half the size of a palm.

Mina Morita blinked her eyes and tried to put it on her left chest, and it was automatically pinned on her clothes.

"Siguoyi (So powerful) ~ Is this the family artifact?"

Mina Morita looked at the shield on her chest, which looked like a metal badge, and found it extremely unbelievable.

"Nice little guy."

Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse female voice sounded in Mina Morita's ears, startling her.

"Mom, did you hear anything?"

Mina Morita looked around, then looked at Yumiko Morita and asked in confusion.

"What sound? I heard no sound."

Yumiko Morita shook her head and looked at her daughter with some confusion.

"Really? Am I hallucinating?"

Mina Morita thought about it and still felt that she had heard the voice just now, so clearly, it couldn't be an auditory hallucination.

"No need to look for me, I'm in the shield on your chest. You can call me, Qiao Erya."

The hoarse female voice sounded in Mina Morita's ears again, so clear.

late at night.

"Alas~ I still don't know what this thing is."

Naoto tossed and turned in bed, still unable to fall asleep.

He took the 'ring' that he had borrowed from Miyajima Sakura from the table and looked at it.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, this thing is exactly the same as the 'ring' that Naoto absorbed before. Except that this thing cannot sense that strange and weird 'aura', there is no difference in the color and size of the appearance.

"Could it be that this thing is actually a fairly common ornament? Or am I behind the times?"

Naoto stroked his chin, thinking.
