Bizarre Realm-Chapter 268 - 48: Main Brain—Shawn! (Part 2)

"And my Mind Sensing Field does indeed seem stronger and covers a wider range than other Mind Paths. I always thought it was because my Inspiration Talent was relatively high. Now it seems that it might be because I absorbed the Extraordinary Essence of Su’en’s Brain upon promotion."

Old Day - Su’en.

He once corrupted an enormous Heart Stealer Empire fleet, directly twisting all the minds of its Heart Stealers, turning them into his fanatical servants.

Even outside the Bizarre Realm, in space, there remains the space fortress of this interstellar fleet.

However, since Su’en’s consciousness was summoned to another Crystal Wall System Universe, that vast Heart Stealer Fleet has been at a standstill, seemingly inactive for some time.

"Main Brain."

Shawn recalled a crazy feeling from the past when he felt that, if he continued to evolve like this, he could survive relying solely on his brain, even if separated from his body.

Now it seems that this feeling wasn’t unfounded.

According to legend, it seems that Ioleum also became an Elder Main Brain Lich.

"More than a dozen Heart Stealers have all become my servants, even without Mind Domination, they would probably still be loyal to me."

"The implantation of Thought Marks was also very successful."

"Upon realizing they regarded me as a ’Main Brain,’ I immediately implanted corresponding Thought Marks and Mind Suggestions."

"So next, it’s about whether I can replace the Lord of the Underworld and completely seize this Underground City!"

Why the Heart Stealers mistook him for a ’Main Brain’ could be researched later. The most important thing for Shawn right now is to seize the Authority of Law from the Lord of the Underworld.

In just a day, Shawn boldly settled into this Underground City.

He thoroughly mapped out all the information about the Worm’s Nest. The Lord of the Underworld’s management of this city was chaotic; he probably didn’t even know how many servants he had because Heart Stealers encountering their kind or enslaveable creatures outside could bring them back directly. As long as they weren’t normal humans, all kinds of mutated monsters roamed freely here.

A day passed swiftly.

Shawn moved directly into the Abnormal Zone of the Worm’s Nest without any trouble, as other creatures wouldn’t dare provoke the Heart Stealers.

An adult Heart Stealer is equivalent to a Level 9 Mind Warlock.

Regarding why the Heart Stealers mistook him for a Main Brain, Shawn had a rough guess; it was closely related to changes in his brain, and his Spiritual Energy fluctuations indeed resembled that of a ’Main Brain.’ But the root lay in the Mind Law of Su’en’s Brain. His Spiritual Energy fluctuations were very close to that of the ’Su’en Elder Brain’ of the Heart Stealer Fleet.

This Heart Stealer legacy involved dual cultivation of Aura and Magic, and they could also perform Divine Arts granted by the elders.

"Who would’ve thought I’d manage to gather my first batch of Clan in the city of Evil Objects, albeit brain-eating Heart Stealers."

Since the Heart Stealers mistook him for a Main Brain, Shawn took advantage of this, penetrating and controlling the Underground City through the Heart Stealers, while also attempting to contact other creatures in the Underground City.

City Nest.

This was the settlement of the Insect People. Shawn’s figure hovered more than a meter above the ground, floating into the territory of the Insect People like other Heart Stealers.

All humanoid creatures held fear for the Heart Stealers because they depended on their brains to survive.

The combat power of a Heart Stealer ranks in the top tier among the abnormalities.

"Master."

"It’s just ahead. That building is the Supreme Empress’s lair." Hugh nodded slightly, bending over, with four tendrils lightly swaying, communicating through Mind Transmission.

The sudden visit of six Heart Stealers made the Insect People here tense.

Here, Shawn also saw Praying Mantis Men with four arms, who were close relatives of humanoid insects but very rare. Adult Praying Mantis Men had some Spiritual Talent as well.

Shawn nodded slightly, emitting a faint mind wave.

"Who... are... you..."

A mind wave with a whisper of madness came through.

This was a very powerful spiritual being with mind waves not much different from Shawn’s and coverage even larger. It resembled the ’Ant Race Empress’ recorded in Lady Hecate’s books.

A few hundred meters ahead, a large number of Insect People guards had already assembled, ready to protect their Supreme Empress.

This race somewhat resembled a hive.

Shawn, using the Levitation Skill, lowered his altitude a bit, transmitting his mind, calmly saying: "I came to help you!"

A sharp wave of mind screech followed.

Soon, the crazy whispering voice from the other side sounded once again: "You... are not... a Heart Stealer..."

"You are..."

"You are..."

The mind on the other side seemed slightly hesitant, the voice carrying a trace of fear: "You are... Main Brain!!!..."

Hmm?

Why did the other party also mistake him for a Main Brain?

Could it be that I’ve really mutated?

Shawn stayed in Abyss City for so long without encountering a single Transcendent on the Mind Path who mistook him for a Main Brain.

But these abnormalities, for some unknown reason, each one thought he was a disguised ’Main Brain.’

Fear.

The Supreme Empress of the Insect People had a very evident fear, because a Main Brain was a terrifying creature with a Challenge Level of 25, even Destiny Legendaries found it extremely difficult to deal with. Although Shawn’s power was vastly different, the Spiritual Energy he emitted was very similar to an Elder Brain.

"Who I am is not important."

Shawn calmly stated: "What’s important is whether you want to return to normal."
