Law of the Swarm

Chapter 452 Why Don't You Give Me A Title
As System expected, that night, while feeding his enchanted slime friends, System observed the process of the mad dwarf transforming into a void monster.

Instead of being transformed directly from the flesh into a void monster, it escaped from the dwarf's body like a soul leaving its body, and turned into a mess of weird spirits.

The appearance of the spirit body is somewhat similar to the smoke of the evil god Rafal, but it is weirder than the appearance of the evil god. Not only the shape, but also the color has been changing back and forth between black, white and gray.

The original crazy dwarves were piled up on the ground like mud, and completely lost their movement.

This messy void monster spirit body didn't respond to System's [Power of Thought] touch, and it still acted its own way.

As for the mental fluctuations emitted by the void monsters, after analyzing these, little M discovered some of the laws, but did not find anything deeper.

……

System originally thought that this primordial void monster would remain still for a few days before it would change.

But after less than an hour, the Void Monster underwent a special transformation.

After a subtle and strange fluctuation, System found that the mental power of the void monster in front of him suddenly decreased by more than half.

Through Little M's analysis, System discovered that the changes in the void monsters are actually a kind of spatial fluctuation.

The spatial fluctuations are extremely subtle, like a needle point piercing an ommatidium.

If it wasn't for System's [Perception] talent, plus System's ability to watch videos repeatedly, he might not be able to detect this fleeting spatial fluctuation.

After the spiritual power of the spirit body was weakened by more than half, the behavior pattern of the void monster also changed, no longer staying in place, and began to move unconsciously.

According to System's speculation, after a while, this void monster will follow an intelligent creature like the original void monster, trying to transform that intelligent creature into a void monster.

But before continuing to observe how the void monster infects other creatures.

System made an important discovery, which also explained why void monsters appeared in this world.

According to the conjecture published by Newton, the total amount of spiritual power in this world is constant.

If Newton's conjecture is true, then the appearance of these void monsters is self-evident.

System used [Power of Thought] to forcibly cut open the spirit body of the void monster, and used [Power of Thought] to wrap a small piece of the void spirit body.

As System used his power to crush the void spirit body, during the process of the void spirit body collapsing, that special spatial fluctuation also reappeared.

What happened before him also confirmed System's guess.

If System's expectations were correct, then the void monsters came to this world to plunder the spiritual power of this world and send them to another world.

In the long run, the world will undoubtedly decline as a result.

And from some aspects, in this world, void monsters are almost unsolvable existences.

These void monsters will infect more and more intelligent life if they are left alone, and once they are eliminated, the spiritual power absorbed by the void monsters will leave this world directly.

It can be said that, no matter what, the world where the void monster resides will not lose money, while the world where System resides will only continue to be parasitized and become weaker and weaker.

System couldn't help thinking of what the old druid Medlan had said to him.

Although Medline didn't know the true principle of the void monsters, and couldn't explain the void monsters clearly, Medline still knew through natural perception that the void monsters must be eliminated.

Because there is no scientific method, in Medland's view, eliminating the magic of this world will make this world stable, and void monsters will not be able to invade this world.

According to Newton's theory, System already had a deeper understanding.

To maintain the stability of this world, it is necessary to maintain the total amount of spiritual power of intelligent life in this world at a certain amount.

If the spiritual power held by intelligent creatures increases, the spiritual power to maintain the world will decrease, and they will be more vulnerable to the invasion of void monsters.

As Medland said, eliminating all the gods and making the magic of this world disappear is indeed a solution, because the magic disappears, and the spiritual power of intelligent life in this world will also decline.

But this is an impractical solution, because the magic of this world cannot be eliminated.

……

But System immediately thought of another key point, and called the little Johnny over again.

The Heroic Spirit is a special spirit life created by the God of the Gods using the will of the world. The Heroic Spirit will not be affected by the void monsters.

In a way, Heroic Spirits are created for void monsters.

Looking at the little dwarf who walked into his laboratory, System asked, "Do you know it? Is there a way to eliminate it with special means?"

Johnny looked at System with a puzzled expression, and replied in a low voice: "I know, didn't you tell me? It's called a void monster, and it seems to be very contagious."

System looked at Johnny suspiciously for a while, then used [power of thought] to wrap a small piece of void spirit body again, put it in front of the little man and said, "Use your power to destroy it."

Although Johnny was puzzled, he released a bolt of lightning according to System's instructions, and the small void spirit body controlled by System also disappeared, and this time there was no such spatial fluctuation in the disappearance.

This also means that as long as a heroic spirit takes action to destroy the void monster, the void monster will not take away the spiritual power from this world.

But System knew that there were too few heroic spirits in this world, and most of the void monsters would be dispelled by ordinary intelligent creatures.

Although the role of Heroic Spirit cannot be said to be non-existent, it is still limited.

If his [Data Template] continues to develop like this, Heroic Spirit will become stronger, but it will even bring disaster to this world.

However, in the process of System's thinking and expressing confusion about his expansion with the [data template], some inexplicable mental fluctuations attracted System's attention—it was the Transcendent Rank he was cultivating Enchanted Slime.

The three barrier slimes in System's laboratory were all interested in the void monster suspended in mid-air, and seemed to want to eat the void monster.

It's just that under the constant control of little M, none of the three barrier slimes moved.

Normally, the spirit body of a void monster cannot be absorbed, because once the spirit body of a void monster is absorbed, that intelligent creature will also transform into a void monster after a period of time.

However, a life like slime has no intelligence at all, and the possibility of transforming into a void monster is almost zero.

At this moment, System seemed to see a brand new door, and he immediately devoured the void monster with two slimes.

The void monster was eaten by three barrier slimes without any resistance, and the spiritual power of the void monster did not escape to another world.

System discovered that as they ate void monsters, these slimes had something special in their bodies, and there was a tendency to be promoted to legendary creatures.

Not only that.

System discovered that a special power seemed to appear in the void, pouring into these slimes——

Because the parasites in this world were eliminated, the slimes received the gift of the will of the world. System estimated that the three slimes should have obtained some kind of title.

"But, I made them, and they are also void monsters that I let them eat, why didn't you give me a title?" After the initial surprise, System made a jealous voice.
