Alien Knights

Looking at Meredith, Todd asked, "Lost the last of your family? What about your father? I heard Eliade say that the Elders resurrected Sutherland with a tyrant."

Meredith turned around and said: "More than five hundred years ago, the Presbyterian Church began to study Sutherland's remains. They hoped to use various academics to resurrect Sutherland and let him lead the alien group again. "

"But is it really that simple?"

"Thousands of attempts were made and a lot of manpower and material resources were spent, but they all ended in failure."

Todd asked doubtfully: "What about Sutherland who is now resurrected?"

Meredith took a deep breath: "About one hundred and eighty years ago, the great elder of the Presbyterian Church found me and said that he hoped to borrow a tyrant from the Kingdom of Shadows."

"Of course, I rejected her flatly and emphasized that only those who pass the trial can obtain the tyrant's gifts."

"The Great Elder told me that she and the scholars in the Presbyterian Church worked together to come up with a way to resurrect Sutherland. It was to cultivate a part of Sutherland's remains and use it as a soul-calling material to locate and recall Sutherland's body. Soul. Then use the tyrant to transform the resurrected worm and create an enhanced super resurrected worm. Finally, the recovered Sutherland soul is injected into the resurrected worm."

Todd frowned and asked: "Injecting human souls into resurrecting insects? Is this feasible?"

Meredith said: "The resurrected insect can not only be used as a channel to transmit souls, but can also store souls when necessary. However, because it is too weak, it cannot withstand the pressure brought by human souls and often ends up exploding and dying. That’s why it’s necessary to use Tyrant to transform the Resurrection Insect.”

Todd asked again: "After recruiting Sutherland's soul, why not inject it directly into the body of Sutherland's remains? Why does it have to be a resurrected worm transformed into a tyrant?"

Meredith: "They once tried to use Sutherland's remains to re-cultivate a body as the carrier of Sutherland's soul, but they failed in the soul infusion. You can imagine that a body that has wandered for hundreds of The soul of a young person is different from the soul just after death. It is mixed with too many unforeseen things, and may even cause soul disorder. It is no longer possible to use a human body as a storage place for this kind of soul. It must be a A powerful enough container.”

Todd thought for a while and asked again: "You just said that a soul that has been wandering for hundreds of years will have soul disorder. So even if it is recalled, will it still be the original soul?"

Meredith nodded and said: "Your question is the key. A soul that has been separated from the body for hundreds of years will either be damaged and close to dissipation, or mixed with foreign matter and dangerous and unpredictable. In fact, such a soul, although it still has A little bit of will during life, but it is basically impossible to be a complete soul."

"However, at the beginning of this experiment, I was not aware of this problem. I admit that at that time, I was dazzled by the idea of ​​resurrecting my father. I told the Presbyterian Council the location of the Kingdom of Shadows and told them about the experiment. The content of the exercise.”

Todd touched his chin and said: "It is very difficult to pass the trial. The Presbyterian Church has not given up?"

Meredith: "Not only did the Great Elder not give up, but she successfully brought back the tyrant from the Kingdom of Shadows."

Todd was confused: "How did she bring back the tyrant?"

Meredith: "With her body."

Todd was surprised: "You mean, the great elder passed the test herself and accepted the tyrant?"

Meredith: "Yes, she passed through the Dark Portal and used her body as a carrier to bring the tyrant to the Presbyterian Church. Although she completed a crucial step in Sutherland's resurrection, her end was very sad. awful……"

Todd didn't speak, just waiting for the answer quietly.

"The Great Elder failed to contain the tyrant's backlash and eventually turned into a monster." Meredith sighed softly: "At the last moment when she lost her humanity, in order to protect the entire Council of Elders, she chose to commit suicide."

When Todd heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Meredith: "After several generations of hard work, the Presbyterian Church successfully used the Tyrant to transform the Resurrection Bug, and used the body cultivated from the remains to successfully summon souls, injecting Sutherland's soul into the Resurrection Bug."

Todd interrupted her: "Are you sure... that the soul you summoned is really...?"

Meredith: "When that soul appeared, I had a conversation with it. It had the memory of my father. Although it was a little vague, he was indeed my father Sutherland."

"But with each experiment, my father's soul became more and more blurred, and it became more and more manic and unstable."

"I challenged the presbytery and suggested that perhaps this soul was no longer Sutherland's soul."

"However, they told me that this is all a normal part of the soul's growth, like a child slowly turning into an adult. When the ritual is finally over, Sutherland will return whole."

Todd looked into Meredith's eyes: "You believe it?"

Meredith lowered her head: "I have to believe that that is the only way for me to bring my father back. Even though I have questioned all of this in my heart countless times, my luck has paralyzed me again and again. My father always It will come back one day. For this day, I even agreed to continuously provide the Tyrant to the Council of Elders for this resurrection ceremony."

"Over the years, the resurrected insect possessing Sutherland's soul, nourished by the tyrant, has become more and more powerful and violent. It has gradually begun to lose all aspects of its humanity and become more like a moody monster."

"At the beginning, I could still communicate with it normally and talk about some past things. But now, from its words and deeds, I can only occasionally find some fragmented clues, and most of them are beast-like roars. "

Todd asked hesitantly: "You just said that it is very powerful? Specifically, how powerful is it?"

Meredith glanced at Todd: "You have no idea how many tyrants that monster has devoured in the past hundred years... I have seen it rolling in the magma, and I have also seen it use the power of the soul to It looks like it can shake the world, and its speed, strength and abilities may be comparable to those of the Forerunners."

Todd asked in surprise: "You mean, Sutherland's power is comparable to Scathach and Leviathan."

Meredith: "I think so, and its power is accelerating over time. When the resurrection ceremony is completed, I have no idea what it will become."

Todd's brows knitted together: "What on earth are the Presbyterian Council thinking? If they create such a monster, they will definitely be unable to control it in the end!"

Meredith: "I have the same concerns as you. I have told Eliad more than once about my worries and concerns, but he doesn't seem to care."

Todd said thoughtfully: "Iliad is not a stupid person. He may have some other reasons for letting monsters like Sutherland continue to grow."
