Chapter 739: Chapter 341: Abyss KPI Assessnt_2
It had once witnessed a complete loss of control.
"Devouring Giant Mouth" Karasong, an Apostle older than Nari.
Due to the inability to maintain a rational balance for a long ti, ultimately lost control completely.
That once cunning existence turned into a live catastrophe only knowing to consu.
It devoured the territory it had painstakingly managed for thousands of years, along with all its subordinates and collections.
Eventually, it ended in self-devouring, leaving only a huge void behind.
To avoid such a fate, Apostles must find ways to maintain their rationality.
The most effective way is to cultivate subordinates:
By planting their power seeds into other organisms, establishing a special spiritual connection.
This connection not only transmits power, but the growth process of subordinates generates a special feedback energy.
This feedback, similar to the "Favor" chanism in Wizard World, is more direct and rough.
When an Awakened’s strength increases, their ntal structure produces order fluctuations.
These fluctuations are transmitted back to the Apostle’s body through the power seed, stabilizing those chaotic consciousnesses.
However, this process is far more difficult than imagined.
The Awakened converted by Wizards, though more rational, grow slowly in power.
Moreover, they often retain a considerable degree of independent consciousness, making complete control hard.
More critically, Wizards’ spiritual protections are often quite comprehensive, making forced conversion very unlikely to succeed.
Abyssal variants, though faster in growth, are more chaotic in nature.
During cultivation, unexpected mutations frequently occur, even possibly rebounding against their owner.
For Nari, an Innate Apostle, although its intelligence surpasses ordinary abyssal variants, its chaos is even deeper.
This contradiction places it in an almost unsolvable dilemma when cultivating subordinates.
Power infusion requires precise control, but its nature rejects any form of order;
It also longs for understanding and communication, yet its thought process completely mismatches other creatures.
As a temporary alternative, Apostles can influence the surrounding environnt through energy radiation.
They actively release their power, inducing mutation and evolution in surrounding Abyssal Creatures.
These enhanced creatures produce weak feedback in a short ti, barely maintaining the Apostle’s rational stability.
But this unconscious influence is negligible.
For an existence like Nari, on the brink of losing control, it’s like a drop in the bucket.
It needs active, substantial, stable feedback, not this dispensable residue.
Nari painfully lifted its head, choosing to contact its sole superior.
"Chai Ye, my lord..." It murmured this na in its heart, both in reverence and deep fear.
......
In the depths of the magma sea on the Abyss Ninth Layer, "Dragon-headed Demon" Chai Ye was conducting his daily exercises.
This Supre Apostle’s appearance had long departed from any known creature’s category.
Three faces circled around a central giant eye, each face expressing different emotions and personalities.
When four pairs of blood-red giant wings spread, they could shield the entire sky, and the lower half of his giant serpent tail was covered with razor-sharp scales.
At this mont, Chai Ye was enduring the extre pressure of the deepest part of the magma ocean.
This special magma sea not only had a temperature countless tis higher than ordinary magma outside but also exerted intense gravitational pressure.
Yet for Chai Ye, this environnt was perfect for honing his body.
By enduring pain, he strengthened his essence; pain, pressure, and the struggle on the brink of death, all served as catalysts for growth.
When Nari’s timid plea signal arrived, Chai Ye’s three faces simultaneously displayed extre disgust.
"It’s that useless one again..." his voice bood like a furnace:
"Unable to solve even such a basic problem, why did I ever think it was sothing useful?"
Chai Ye clearly rembered his first encounter with Nari.
At that ti, it had just erged from the will of the Primordial Abyss and emitted a suffocatingly powerful aura.
Chai Ye excitedly thought he had found a treasure.
Innate Apostle-level existences are extrely rare, usually possessing astonishing potential.
However, the more he interacted with Nari, the more disappointed Chai Ye beca.
This so-called Innate Apostle was indeed strong, but as dumb as an ox.
More critically, during interactions, Nari’s chaotic thought mode even affected the stability of Chai Ye’s consciousness.
After each conversation, Chai Ye needed days to cleanse the polluted ntal fragnts.
For such basic skills as cultivating subordinates, Nari knew nothing.
No matter how patiently Chai Ye guided, it always made the sa mistakes.
Either the power was too strong, killing the target directly, or control was lacking, leading to uncontrolled mutations.
What angry Chai Ye most was, Nari seed never to learn from failures, repeating the sa mistakes in the sa naive way each ti.
"Chai Ye, my lord..." Nari’s consciousness fluctuation was filled with grievance and despair:
"I... I really don’t know what to do... Every ti I fail... Every ti..."
"Shut up!" Chai Ye angrily swung his wings, stirring up a massive magma tsunami:
"I’m not your father nor your mother; for such an extrely stupid useless thing as you, I’m too lazy to bother with you anymore!"
He stopped his training, his massive body slowly rising, with three pairs of eyes simultaneously flashing a dangerous red light:
"I am currently busy preparing for the upcoming succession battle!
