Chapter 1304: 423. Demon God Host

“`

“Huh? What is this aura?”

Noland Lee’s brow furrowed tightly, feeling the aura was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

Within his detection, five energy fluctuations with intense oddities appeared in the battleship’s laboratory.

They were emitting an aura filled with a destructive desire.

Anyone who touched this aura would immediately transform into a pure killing machine.

Many guards around the laboratory weren’t fast enough to evade, were eroded by the aura, with their flesh rotting and their appearances horrifying, with blood streaming from their eyes, frantically attacking everything around them.

The problem was, the medium through which this aura was transmitted was not the air but mind power.

It was a direct mental attack on the spirit.

The armed crew had no psychic defense tools.

After encountering such unpredictable mental attacks, they were all affected, and there was no way to reverse or heal this in a short amount of time.

Oddly enough, the ship’s robots were unharmed.

Lacking a “mind,” they naturally lacked the medium for the dangerous aura to erode.

However, the deranged armed crew members obviously would not spare the robots.

They attacked them ferociously regardless of whether they were friend or foe, and even the walls and ceilings of the ship’s corridors were not spared.

Noland Lee cast “Mind View” toward the laboratory, quickly scanning the situation inside.

The source of the aura was the brains of the Artificial Angels controlled by the Demon Brain Race.

The Dark Priests studying the brains weren’t mad; they were the culprits behind all this.

They had set up some sort of ritual array inside the laboratory, coating the walls and floor with a black, paste-like substance, forming intricate Magic Array patterns.

The Dark Priests locked the laboratory door from inside and then a small group of them reinforced the door to prevent the crazed crew from rushing in.

Another group formed a circle around the five brains at the center of the Array, murmuring, chanting something with a strange intonation.

Thick black fog surged from the center of the Array, contaminating the brains controlled by the Demon Brain Race, slowly staining them black.

Noland Lee discerned part of the mystery.

The source of the aura that attacked the crew members’ minds actually originated from the black fog within the Array, not the brains controlled by the Demon Brain Race.

The five brains merely used their own mind power to spread the aura beyond the laboratory.

So, the real cause of the crew’s frenzy was the Array set up by the Dark Priests.

Destroy that thing, and the armed crew would probably recover.

Noland Lee intended to destroy the Array, but not to save the armed crew, who were at odds with him.
