Completely unaware that he was adding fuel to the fire, Cheng Tian, the straight man, openly admired the Main Brain's Heart as it was inserted into Bazett's valley, then turned his gaze back to the other jar of brains.
"If I had a heart and an eyeball, plus a Horadric Cube, I could synthesize Chain Gamma~"
Muttering to himself, Cheng Tian opened his item panel.
[Main Brain's Main Brain: Golden Legend, Skill Stone, Consumable. Usage: Use from inventory, requires one empty skill slot. One of the only two remaining physical parts preserved after an unknown genius scientist transformed himself into wetware.
Can generate a new skill of at least B-rank Lv1 based on the user's characteristics.]
[Detected that you possess the 『Ten Commandments』 skill, derived from a mutated organ in your frontal lobe—]
[You can consume this item to strengthen and upgrade 『Ten Commandments』, ascending the skill while retaining as many of its original effects as possible.]
Hmm? This is good!
Upon seeing this description and the Skill Stone tag, Cheng Tian thought it might be a skill similar to Ten Commandments. He was going to wait and see, hoping to save a skill slot, but it turned out to be like the situation with Uncle Xue, where he could directly merge and upgrade similar items.
There was nothing to hesitate about; he used it immediately!
The moment the item disappeared from his inventory, Cheng Tian suddenly felt an itch on his head, as if a brain was growing.
But then came a sensation of coolness, like pouring mentholated balm directly onto his exposed brain. In an instant, Cheng Tian even felt his vision become clearer.
At the same time, a series of prompts popped up in front of Cheng Tian.
[Under the influence of "Main Brain's Main Brain," your C-rank skill 『Ten Commandments』 Lv4 begins to advance—]
[Advancement complete.]
[『Ten Commandments』 C-rank / Lv4 — changed to — 『Overlord』 A-rank / Lv1.]
[Overlord: A-rank skill / Lv1, Active Skill. The fusion of the incomplete brain tissue fragments of the Ten Commandments of Mara and the complete brain tissue of the Main Brain further strengthens your frontal lobe, granting you powerful control to enslave and manipulate both humanoid creatures and humanoid machines simultaneously.
You can simultaneously unleash Overlord Rays on up to 4 non-boss template units of "humanoid creatures" and "humanoid machines," subjecting them to gene fission contamination or hacker program intrusion—
After casting the skill, a mental or charisma contest judgment is required with the target. The base probability is 60%. Every 1 point of mental or charisma contest fluctuation affects the judgment probability by 1%. When both sides contest, your advantageous attribute is judged first.
If the judgment passes, the target will gain the "Enslaved" or "Puppet" DEBUFF tag. This effect will be difficult to remove with conventional purification or antivirus skills; if the judgment fails, you have a 50% chance of not alerting the target, and when casting Overlord on them a second time, the judgment success probability increases by 20%.
Enslaved and puppetized targets will retain their original attributes and abilities to the maximum extent and can be commanded by you. While under the "Overlord" phase, if they do not actively attack, others will find it difficult to discover the fact of their control.
For every 10 points of charisma you possess, the number of targets you can overlord increases by 2. Currently, it is 4. The maximum control range for targets you overlord is Mental * 50 meters, currently 2.5 kilometers. You can intervene and control all actions of your overlorded targets at any time. You can perceive all "humanoid creatures" and "humanoid machines" within the maximum control range.
When you use Hundred Demons' Night Parade on any 1 overlorded unit, Hundred Demons' Night Parade will definitely take effect, and you can choose whether to trigger it in a chain according to your needs, chaining up to 4 overlorded units; there is no additional cost when chaining, and it will not be limited by the number of ascended demon units. (Linkage Effect)
When you use it on players or major NPCs, the base judgment probability is halved to 30%—
If the judgment passes, the opponent will be fully controlled for at least 5 ~ 8 seconds; if the judgment fails, one of the opponent's skills will be randomly selected and temporarily sealed for 15 ~ 30 seconds.
When using Overlord, for each additional casting target, MP consumption increases by 25 points; the base cooldown is 5 minutes, and for each additional casting target, the cooldown increases by 2 minutes.]
[Additional Commentary: Kerrigan is the Queen of Blades, you are at most a Pseudo-Human Overlord~]
As the skill evolution completed, a large number of silhouette phantoms instantly appeared in Cheng Tian's mind. These were, without a doubt, all beings that met the "humanoid creature" and "humanoid machine" tags under the brain radar monitoring of the new skill 『Overlord』, including many overlapping phantoms.
The pilot and the machine of the Armored Warrior were detected and judged separately.
From Ten Commandments to Overlord, the scope of application instantly super doubled, but the versatility came with a weakening in judgment.
However, considering that Cheng Tian currently has 2 points of legend, and that his mental attribute, which has already reached its maximum, will be prioritized during judgment, unless Cheng Tian's brain is faulty and he insists on confronting a target that also has a maximum mental attribute of 50 points, the probability of passing the judgment under normal circumstances is still quite high.
In addition, the control effect on players was supplemented; if successful, he could hard-control them, and if it failed, he could at least seal one of the opponent's skills.
Of course, more importantly, the linkage effect with Hundred Demons' Night Parade was retained.
Now Cheng Tian was clearly more inclined to raise his charisma attribute to 40 first, so he could control up to 8 units for his own use in one go!
However, just as Cheng Tian was about to try it out on the Resistance Gates unit, which was an allied unit, he suddenly shivered, froze in place, and at the same time, an ethereal image of a beating heart appeared in his mind.
At the same time, Bazett, who was currently being directly questioned by Eileen, suddenly felt a certain brainwave frequency covering her mind.
The Command Seal on Cheng Tian's hand glowed faintly, and then new prompts popped up.
[Detected that the user of "Main Brain's Main Brain" and the wearer of the accessory necklace "Main Brain's Heart" are in a master-servant relationship and possess a special "Heroic Spirit Contract," a linkage effect has appeared between the two—]
[When you and Bazett are in the same instance—
All of Bazett's HP recovery effects will be equally reflected onto you, including but not limited to using potions, recovery skills, self-regeneration, etc.
All of your MP recovery effects will be equally reflected onto Bazett, including but not limited to using potions, recovery skills, self-regeneration, etc.
When using a Command Seal to restore Bazett's HP or MP, you will also receive an equal amount of recovery.
You can use a Command Seal to recall Bazett from elsewhere, or you can teleport yourself to Bazett's current location.]
Cheng Tian became Bazett's external brain, responsible for MP recovery.
And Bazett became Cheng Tian's external heart, responsible for HP recovery.
Master and servant, with clear division of labor.
The oblivious Eileen didn't notice anything, but Fina, the goddess sister with an independent contract with Cheng Tian, her sharp gaze directly fixed on Bazett's valley, her eyes rolling, clearly thinking about very liberal things.
