Law of the Swarm

Chapter 187
Because he was in a demiplane and missed the call of the old lich, System didn't know it.

Not to mention that the old Lich far away in the Netherland was saddened by his disappearance, and expressed condolences for his death.

In fact, after more than half a month of busy time, System has already put the matter of the old Lich aside.

However, while Shava was beating on the skeleton of the giant dragon, System thought of an ordinary human who summoned him a few days ago.

The human body is slightly fat, and he looks like a middle-aged businessman who is still living in affluent life.

He sacrificed two human slaves to summon him.

This human being's request was very ordinary, just to let System kill his wife and the baron, for which he was willing to pay any price, even handing over his entire soul to him.

It seems that this human being loves his wife very much, and hates him because of love, and wants to die with his wife.

However, just when System was about to ask the businessman a few more questions and refuse the businessman's request, the businessman destroyed the sacrificial circle summoned by the abyss first, and staged a scene where I chose to forgive her.

But what System recalled was not this sad plot, but the basement where the businessman summoned him.

In most of the abyss summons, as long as System responds to the call, a part of his consciousness will be separated and come to the summoner's world, and he will be able to see some furnishings near the summoner.

Because of being summoned many times, System gradually realized that several different main planes were probably at the medieval level of System's previous life.

Commoners, nobles, mages, swords, magic, knights, in addition to many races other than humans, also have various customs and habits, but the overall level of civilization is not high.

The businessman who summoned System seems to like to collect mysterious objects. In the basement that depicts the sacrificial circle, there are many strange objects, and there are many different kinds of books, and the words on the books are also different. .

Among these books, there happened to be a book whose text System recognized, and the text on the book was the plague language of the evil god Rafal.

It seems that the evil god Rafal has a wide range of believers in the main world.

What System was thinking about was also the title of this book - "Shadow Incarnate".

In fact, if the human businessman hadn't taken the initiative to destroy the summoning circle, System would have found a way to get the human businessman to open the book for him to read.

The so-called shadow incarnation is a name translated by System based on the plague language, and it is an ability similar to [Incarnation outside the body] or [Clone].

This ability is full of great temptation for System.

If he can master this ability, System can send his avatar to respond to the call of the abyss. Even if the avatar dies, it will not have any effect on him.

He can go to the main world, explore around without any scruples, and even learn human knowledge is not impossible.

Unfortunately, because of the human merchant's destruction of the summoning circle, System can no longer see the book, and can only see the cover of the book in the video data of the [Tools menu].

However, System is not helpless.

If he really wants to master this [Shadow Incarnation] ability, he just needs to try to communicate with the sleeping evil god, and without accident, he should find some clues.

But communicating with the evil god is too dangerous, and System really doesn't want to ask for trouble.

And even if he didn't rely on the evil god, System still had some ideas about creating clones or avatars.

In nature, there are creatures that can produce similar clones, such as earthworms.

Earthworms, as long as they are not cut vertically or horizontally, will repair their bodies and become two independent individuals.

In addition to earthworms, in this magical world, there are even more peculiar creatures than earthworms, that is System's old friend Slime.

Not to mention splitting the slime into two individuals, it is not a problem to split into dozens of individuals.

And System happens to have the ability similar to slime jelly, [body-gel transformation]. Currently, System can convert 15% of his body into jelly.

What System thought of was to transform his head into jelly, and then perform actions similar to splitting, trying to make himself grow two heads.

Then the two heads form two separate bodies.

Because the brain is a very special organ, after System turned his head into jelly, his consciousness would start to blur within 3 minutes. If he did not change his head back for 5 minutes, System would die.

System's experiment is also very simple, that is, after turning his head into jelly, he uses his ability to control the jelly to move the jelly away, and then uses the [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] ability to consume a large amount of jelly in a short time. The vitality re-grows a head, and then restores the original gelatin.

In this way, he can have two heads.

In fact, before the experiment of splitting the head, System had already experimented with his tentacles and the heart in his body. Using this ability, he could increase his tentacles and make himself have two hearts in his body .

However, such extra organs are very awkward, forcibly appearing on the body will accelerate the burden on the body, and System will quickly convert these organs into jelly for reabsorption.

And this time, the head that grew out of System's head also succeeded.

The two heads were tightly connected, and the blood vessels connecting the head and the body were naturally shared, just like some conjoined twins in System's previous life.

pity.

System's experiment ended in failure.

He does have two heads, and the basic functions of both heads exist, but there is only one consciousness in the two heads.

Moreover, System's consciousness will consume a lot of energy during the transfer of the two heads, and if the distance between the two heads is too far, his consciousness will not be able to complete the transfer.

This also means that even if System uses these two heads as models, continues to consume vitality, and uses the ability of [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] to produce a new body, it will not cause the new body to generate consciousness and form his clone.

……

However, the two heads developed by System are not useless.

Currently, the biggest weakness in System's body is still his head. Although he has the ability to turn his head into jelly, when his head is instantly crushed by a heavy blow, System will also lose consciousness , and into death.

And with two heads, System can perfectly avoid such things.

Of course, two heads like this are really useless. The extra eyes, tentacles, and fangs are of no use to System, and will consume more energy from his body.

System only needs a spare brain. When his main head is attacked, his spare head can store his consciousness and prevent his body from fainting.

In this way, he can use [body deformation] and [super speed regeneration] to repair his head.

In this way, while Shava was banging on the dragon skeleton, System continued his experiment...
