God of Pets-Chapter 391: Divine Brainwashing Skill
Ordinary Body Protection Divine Skills enhance one’s own body, increasing physical strength and resistance.
However, Blood Burst Divine Skill is different; it doesn’t increase physical strength but strengthens thickness.
Activating Blood Burst Divine Skill transforms vital energy into a protective blood energy layer. This blood energy layer cannot completely block attacks but can diffuse the force like water.
An attack on the blood energy layer is like a bullet entering water, being diffused by the blood energy layer.
The blood energy layer is somewhat like a non-Newtonian fluid; if you don’t use force, it’s easy to breach the layer, but if you strike with forceful speed, it feels like hitting a steel plate.
A very peculiar Body Protection Divine Skill, but it requires the consumption of blood energy as a cost. Blood refers to blood, and energy refers to primordial energy, generally causing depletion of both for a cultivator using this skill.
However, Blood Spirit itself lives on blood energy. No matter what Secret Skill is used, it only consumes blood energy, which isn’t a problem.
Moreover, Jin Taohua plans to use Chen Guan as the main spirit of the Blood Spirit Banner. When his blood energy is insufficient, he can replenish it by devouring other Blood Spirits, making it an endlessly perfect combination.
Jin Taohua disassembled the blood bull to feed Chen Guan, while Chen Guan continued to reap the benefits, awaiting the arrival of the next Level 60 Secret Skill.
Inside the Blood Spirit Banner, Chen Guan is studying the Level 60 Unparalleled Secret Skill he had just obtained, "In the Name of God."
Secret Skill: In the Name of God (Unparalleled).
Cultivation Requirements: Divine Body.
Primordial Energy Consumption: 7 points.
Skill Level: 60.
Chen Guan was somewhat stunned upon seeing this Secret Skill’s primordial energy consumption.
According to Chen Guan’s experience, the energy consumption of a Secret Skill should double its starting energy consumption every ten levels.
Using his Azure Heaven Dominating Body as an example, Level 1 consumes 24 points of primordial energy, while at Level 10, it consumes 48 points, and at Level 20, it needs 72 points.
At Level 60, In the Name of God only consumes 7 points of energy, meaning this Unparalleled Secret Skill at Level 1 only requires 1 point of energy to activate.
An Unparalleled Secret Skill that uses only 1 point of energy—how powerful can it actually be?
Yet, when Chen Guan studied In the Name of God carefully, he found not only was it strong, but absurdly strong, and completely different from the Secret Skills he had formed before.
It consumes very little energy but has an effect that ignores defenses.
Therefore, it doesn’t require a lot of energy to break defenses; even 1 point of energy can produce results.
But In the Name of God itself is not a Secret Skill with strong destructive power; in fact, it can be said that In the Name of God essentially has no destructive power.
Its true effect is difficult to describe; Chen Guan defined it as "brainwashing."
The specific ability is very complex. Simply put, In the Name of God can forcibly implant a belief into the opponent’s brain, influencing their thoughts.
Moreover, this influence continuously deepens, and initially, it might not have much to consider. With enough willpower, one can completely break free and nullify the influence of In the Name of God.
However, with repeated implantation of this belief, the influence will grow, potentially leading to self-loss.
It’s both most useful and possibly the most useless Secret Skill.
To Chen Guan, it’s undoubtedly a Divine Skill, and it remains a Divine Skill regardless of who uses it.
But for Chen Guan, this Secret Skill is particularly divine; it’s a perfect match with his Spirit of the Cheerleaders.
Encouragement paired with brainwashing—even an Immortal may not withstand it.
Chen Guan couldn’t wait to test the effectiveness of In the Name of God to see if it was as he suspected.
Naturally, Chen Guan’s experimental subjects were the Blood Spirits in the Sea of Blood.
Blood Spirits themselves have no Spiritual Sense and are like empty shells, making it difficult for his Spirit of the Cheerleaders to take effect before.
Chen Guan intended to forcibly implant a belief in Blood Spirits using In the Name of God and then strengthen and activate this belief with the Spirit of the Cheerleaders.
"You... are very strong..." Chen Guan used In the Name of God, transforming 7 points of blood energy into a soul-shaking sound that resonated with the Blood Spirits.
Chen Guan was unsure if this Secret Skill could induce belief in Blood Spirits.
The result was surprisingly satisfactory; upon hearing this sound, the Blood Spirit was like a blank hard disk being installed with a system. Its originally hollow eyes suddenly gained a soul.
"It’s really effective!" Chen Guan rejoiced in his heart.
Chen Guan conducted continuous experiments, trying to use In the Name of God and Spirit of the Cheerleaders to manipulate and encourage those Blood Spirits.
Even the Sixth Sense level Secret Spirits were affected by the Level 60 In the Name of God.
Additionally, Blood Spirits are more susceptible to belief manipulation than normal living beings because they are brainless entities, easily influenced by Chen Guan’s beliefs.
Chen Guan could easily control these Blood Spirits and stimulate them to unleash greater combat power.
The reason Jin Taohua wanted Chen Guan to be the first to integrate "In the Name of God" was actually to have Chen Guan control the Blood Spirit Army with this method.
The demonic angel, though possessing this Secret Skill, lacked Spiritual Sense and couldn’t complete Jin Taohua’s desired tasks or command the Blood Spirit Army.
Chen Guan, however, perfectly met all criteria, but even Jin Taohua didn’t expect Chen Guan to master the Blood Spirit Army so soon.
Though In the Name of God wields the power of a Word Spirit, its range is pitifully small. Chen Guan had to continually roam over the Sea of Blood to implant his beliefs into these Blood Spirits’ shells.
"With the Blood Spirit Army in hand, as long as Jin Taohua has no suspicion towards me, I should be secure and less likely to become cannon fodder." While empowering the Blood Spirits with minds, Chen Guan pondered opportunities to seize the Blood Spirit Banner.
With the Blood Spirit Banner present, Jin Taohua held ultimate control over the Blood Spirit Army, but Chen Guan wished this item to be under his control.
Unfortunately, in his current Blood Spirit state, he was still subject to the Blood Spirit Banner’s control, making it evidently difficult to reverse control over the Banner.
Chen Guan believed it was not entirely impossible because he was not a pure Blood Spirit but a Spirit Body transformed by the Great Luo Dream Butterfly, only becoming almost indistinguishable from Blood Spirits due to absorbing a lot of Blood Spirit Energy.
The constraints of the Blood Spirit Banner over him were not as strong as its constraints over other Blood Spirits.
If Chen Guan’s power was sufficient, forcibly resisting the Blood Spirit Banner wasn’t out of the question.
Day by day passed, and when Chen Guan devoured less than half of the blood bull, he finally implanted his belief in all Blood Spirits.
As tensions in Abyss City grew, more organized Demon scouts were sighted nearby, indicating the onset of a major battle.
A few days later, the Demon Army officially revealed itself outside Abyss City.
Watching the approaching Demon Army, everyone’s expressions changed, even Gu Chengfeng appeared shocked.
Originally, the Demon Army was expected to primarily attack the City of No Tears, sparing Abyss City with not many forces, but now they saw over ten thousand Demons.
"Wasn’t it said that there were only over twenty thousand Demons north of the Nine Mountains? Where did this Demon Army come from?" Gu Chengfeng and others felt a chilly fear penetrate their bones.
With over ten thousand Demon troops, the number of Demons in Nine Mountains was far beyond their expectations.
