I was put on the throne by the villain【Interstellar】

"What do you mean?" Lei Zhe looked at Neptune and asked, frowning.

"It means that Mr. Eugene is now a sub-adult and will soon be an adult!" Neptune replied puzzled, tilting his head.

"I know what sub-adult means, but Eugene said he's already an adult," Lei Zhe said, turning his head to look at Eugene and asking for confirmation, "Is that right?"

Eugene nodded, with a puzzled look on his face: "I started remembering things when I was ten years old. Even though I was not yet ten years old at that time, it is still two hundred and nine years old, and I am already an adult."

Neptune poked his head out from Lei Zhe's side and looked at Eugene and said, "No, the elves don't judge age by physical age, but by spiritual age! Although your physical age is already You're two hundred and nine years old, but you're not mentally mature, so you can't be considered an adult!"

"I thought elves were [-] years old..." Lei Zhe murmured in disbelief.

"Generally speaking," Neptune nodded like a grown-up, "because generally speaking, elves grow in spirit and body at the same time from birth, and at about two hundred years old, the spirit and body are in harmony, so that they can It's an adult."

It takes about 20 years for an elf to grow up, which is about the same as that of a human.But at this time, the elves can only be regarded as subadults because they do not have the ability to reproduce, and they cannot be regarded as real adults until they are sexually mature at the age of two hundred.

"The reason for this is that the elves have very high reproductive requirements. Not only is the body mature, but the spirit must also be mature. Only when the body and soul are united can they give birth to offspring, otherwise they will only give birth to stillbirths. This is why elves and humans exist. Reproductive isolation, though genetically the two races should be able to reproduce."

As he spoke, Neptune waved his small hand, and projected two Q-version elf images in front of Lei Zhe with a hologram, one was virtual and translucent, and the other was solid.Under Neptune's command, the two Q-version sprites were superimposed together. The translucent villain is a full circle larger than the real villain, but it is visibly shrinking to fit the size of the real villain.

"Mr. Eugene's mental intuition looks like this, which is completely inconsistent with the body. But as time goes by, this inconsistency will gradually become consistent, and when the spirit and body are fully coordinated, especially Mr. Jin can be considered an adult. However, his situation is very rare in the elves, because generally the spirit is weaker than the body, the body matures first, and then waits for the spirit to grow, but he is the other way around. So when he is a full adult , it's hard to say what will happen!"

Elves actually require the unity of soul and flesh to reproduce their offspring? !If it weren't for this race's long lifespan, it would have become an endangered species long ago, right?Wait, that's not the point!

Lei Zhe looked at the translucent figure that was slowly shrinking: "What will happen when Eugene's spirit and body are in harmony?"

"Hmm...it's hard to say," Neptune shook his head with some annoyance, "Other elves will have a spiritual aura when they become adults. For example, PAPA, you can't tell it from the video, because everyone is under the lights. But in the dark, there will be a faint halo on PAPA's body."

Wait, I seem to have heard of this... Lei Zhe looked shocked: "Are there also abyss elves?"

Neptune nodded: "Yes, but because the skin color of the abyss elves is very dark, it's not as obvious as that of the morning elves. After all, the halo is very thin and colorless, like adding a layer of soft light, the white skin of the morning elves This feature will be highlighted, but it will be difficult for the abyssal elves to see it."

Do you want to say that white reflects light, and black is invisible even if it shines?Silently complaining, Lei Zhe felt that he would not be surprised when he heard anything again.

Neptune continued: "As for Mr. Eugene's situation, it's actually a bit like you, Captain. Your spirit comes from the Milky Way, but your body belongs to the Milky Way galaxy. The mismatch between your spirit and your body will cause you to be injured when you use your ability. **Collapse. The strengthening potion you used not only strengthens your physical fitness, but also coordinates your spirit and body."

"Mr. Eugene is a bit like you, but better than you, because there is no mismatch between his spirit and body, just the size. I don't know how his huge spirit fits into such a small body , but I can confirm that their frequency is the same, after Mr. Eugene's spirit and body are coordinated, the halo will definitely appear, the body may change, and the spirit will definitely change."

"As for the consequences of this change, there are too many possibilities. Amnesia disorder, appearance change, and temperament change are the most likely changes. Others may also occur genetic recombination, sexual mutation, and various mental illnesses. Mr. Eugene's spiritual body is too large, what changes it will bring about, this is uncertain."

Neptune pursed his lips in annoyance and muttered, seemingly dissatisfied that Lei Zhe raised a question that obviously made things difficult for AI.

Lei Zhe raised his hand and rubbed his brows: "...I see, you are right, here is a well-equipped facility, and if something happens, it can be dealt with in time. But how do you know that Eugene's spirit is not yet mature? Don't you Can you detect the spirit body?"

The various changes that occur after the strengthening agent enters the human body were originally believed by scientists to be based on the evolution of the body.For example, the body is stronger because of changes in muscle structure caused by genetic evolution.As for the superpowers that were originally considered supernatural powers, they were created because the evolution of the brain changed the way information is exchanged.

However, as the research progressed further, scientists discovered that seemingly various superpowers can actually be summarized into four basic superpowers, and with the further improvement of the abilities of these superpowers, their descriptions of their abilities Even more magical and unfathomable, the word "feeling" is frequently mentioned.

In the end, scientists can only use mental terms to describe how psychic people feel about their surroundings.But things like spirit have been full of mystery since ancient times. Scientists can't detect it, and they can't measure it. They can only observe it from the results of alien abilities.This problem was not solved until Lei Zhe died.

In fact, before his death, his parents were researching how to use machines to capture spirits, in order to turn the tide of the battle and catch those invisible enemies.Unfortunately, the experiment failed. In order to save the galaxy, Lei Zhe broke into the enemy's base camp alone, and used his ability at close range to detonate the negative mass generating device supporting the wormhole, and he sacrificed himself because of this.

If the Neptune can detect the spirit, it will undoubtedly be a huge breakthrough, which will not only save the galaxy, but even open up a new path for the development of human science.

Neptune said proudly: "Yes, as long as the spiritual body extending out of the body can detect it. At first, Dr. Gu was very interested in the spiritual halo of PAPA, and he was able to use the Neptune after combining the magical technology. The scanning device outlines the spiritual body. However, because the human body has the function of isolating and locking the spiritual body, I cannot see it unless it is actively extended. Of course, this state of the captain and Mr. Eugene is an exception. I saw it right away."

"...Don't make it look like the two of us have no clothes on. It sounds like your function has no practical use." Lei Zhe said.

Neptune puffed up his cheeks: "Yes! For example, when Captain Ringer uses his ability, I can see his mental trajectory!"

Lei Zhe said indifferently: "Oh, then what? Give him a thumbs up?"

Neptune opened his mouth in a daze for a while, and found that apart from being able to draw a mental trajectory, he really couldn't do anything else.After all, this research was just at the beginning, and then Dr. Gu entered a long-term dormancy because he reached the limit of cloning, and the research on the spiritual body was also put on hold.

Seeing Neptune lower his head in frustration, Lei Zhe rubbed his hair and said, "Okay, let's go, it's time for dinner."

There is still a year to go...the consumption of strengthening potions must be accelerated.After bullying the AI, Lei Zhe turned and walked towards the high-speed elevator. Thinking of the symptoms that Neptune said might appear when Eugene was an adult, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and clasped the wrists of the people around him tightly.

Eugene looked down at Lei Zhe holding his hand. The abyss elf who hadn't felt anything about what Neptune said just now suddenly felt a strong emotion in his heart——

It doesn't matter if the gene mutates, it doesn't matter if you become a monster, as long as you can retain your memory and let yourself remember this situation, that's enough.

"...What does it mean that it's gone?" The abyss elf, who was already in his twilight years, asked with a frown as he looked at his daughter who was sitting or not slumped on the sofa.

"Literally! The hen just disappeared, and no one knows where it went. The various forces in the black market are about to turn this star field upside down, and no one has seen it." Still The girl who kept the appearance of a human casually made a gesture of exploding with the fingers of her right hand, which was used to indicate that the mysterious disappearance of the Hen was like fireworks.

The abyss elf looked at the hourglass that kept falling sand grains, and the mark on his brow was as deep as a ravine.He took out a planetarium, projected a map of this star field in the room, and looked at it carefully.After a long time, he pointed to a blank area closest to the Black Skull stronghold and asked, "Did you find it here?"

Elsa glanced at the star map, with a mocking smile on her lips: "The red beard has almost built a wall around the blank area. If it can run in, it will not be invisible."

The abyss elf remained silent, and began to examine the entire star map again.Seeing that he still didn't give up, Elsa said angrily: "Don't give up, so many people can't find them. They will either die or change ships and run away. The only one we have now is The best way is to wait for the news."

"There's no time." The abyss elf shook his head and glanced at the hourglass again.

"...Then take your time." Elsa, who knew her father's stubbornness for 800 years like the back of her hand, didn't bother to go crazy with him any longer, so she stood up and walked out of the room.

The abyss elf watched his daughter leave, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but then his eyes became firm again, and he continued to inspect the star map inch by inch, constantly deliberating on the possible itinerary of the Hen.

A few hours later, the eyes of the abyss elves fell on a translucent black | area on the star map. In the center of the black | area, there were four words written in the common language: Annihilation Nebula.
