Alien Knights

Todd put the keel on Alfonso's body, then let him put on the metal armor, and began to experiment with the effect of the new equipment.

The latter looked at the limbs of these parasites wriggling in the cold wind, and first followed Todd's instructions, trying to use the keel to absorb the cold air of the external environment.

In the past ten seconds or so, a thick layer of frost formed on Alfonso's metal armor, as if he had put on a layer of "ice armor" on the outermost surface.

Todd reached out and tapped on Alfonso's ice armor. The hardness and protective power made him nod happily: "The modified keel can condense cold air to form a new layer of protection on the surface of the armor. With the user's own abilities, the defense of the keel itself, and the metal armor, the successor has four layers of protection. Unless it is a large siege weapon or gunpowder weapon, it is difficult for anything to penetrate these protections."

Alfonso moved his legs and said with satisfaction: "The sense of sluggish action before has disappeared. No matter what kind of action it is, it is effortless to do it now."

Todd asked Alfonso to try the keel's regenerative deformation and hive infrasonic communication ability.

The former can stretch, deform, and entangle the keel into various shapes. It can not only be used as an attack mode, but also a defense mode, and even a marching mode for climbing cliffs.

As for the infrasonic communication honeycomb, on the one hand, the communication distance is extended from the original 50 meters to 1.8 kilometers, and on the other hand, it also realizes the silent transmission of sound waves, effectively avoiding the detection of the enemy. The only downside is that infrasound waves will cause harm to the human body after all. If the vibration frequency and power of the hive are not properly controlled, it will cause nausea, dizziness, weakness of limbs, and even shock in severe cases.

Leaving the upgraded keel to the guards, Todd returned to his small building first.

Rachel was busy packing the utensils, saw Todd came back, and said, "You came back just in time."

Todd was a little strange: "What? Is there something wrong?"

"In short, don't ask so many questions, you first change into a tyrant mode."

Although Todd was confused, he still evolved into a monster form according to Rachel.

Rachel looked at the large mutant whose head could touch the ceiling in front of her, and said thoughtfully: "Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought..."

A puzzled look appeared on Todd's face.

Rachel raised her hand high, stretched it towards Todd's head, and asked him, "Don't you feel that your current height and shape are taller and bigger than when you just came out of the dark door?"

Todd gesticulated his own size after hearing the words, and only then did he realize that Rachel was right. The original monster form was only two meters high, but now it has exceeded three meters, and its size is much larger than before.

Rachel took a closer look at Todd's monster form, and finally couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "It looks like you are a large lizard covered in steel."

Todd's heart moved, and he seemed to think of something, but he couldn't remember what it was in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Todd's recovery, Rachel asked, "Why do you think the evolutionary form has changed?"

Todd scratched his head: "I don't know, I haven't noticed this before, maybe it has something to do with long-term exposure to the tyrant virus?"

Rachel gave him a blank stare: "Listen to what you said, I don't know, I didn't pay attention, don't you never care about your own strength and ability?"

Todd was a little confused. He didn't know why Rachel brought up the subject.

"On the battlefield, the primary task of the soldiers is to protect the survival of the general. It is indeed the responsibility of the general to distribute the best equipment to the soldiers. But the general himself should also have the ability to protect himself." Rachel crossed her arms and looked Todd up and down: "A smart general will put on the strongest armor, the sharpest weapon, and the fastest horse, instead of entrusting his life to the protection of others."

Todd understood what Rachel wanted to say: "You want me to enhance my ability to protect myself?"

"Your Majesty, my Majesty, look at what you have been through these years!" Rachel looked a little annoyed: "The attack of the Presbyterian Council, the trial of the Shadow Kingdom, the arena of Ulster... I bet that there is no other king on the entire continent whose life is more "colorful" than yours!"

"Sometimes you are smart and cute, but sometimes you are stupid and sad." Rachel's poisonous tongue skills made Todd a little overwhelmed.

The latter simply signaled Rachel to speak directly.

Rachel pointed to Todd's body and said to him: "One is the strengthening of the tyrant form. We have no way to find out the reason for this at the moment, so we can only put it aside temporarily; the other is a way to protect yourself... If I remember correctly, you already have more than a dozen supernatural powers in your body, right?"

Todd gave the other party an accurate answer: "To be precise, it should be thirteen."

"I remember you told me that although the successor of the tyrant (the successor transformed by the tyrant virus) can accept more than ten kinds of abilities, the strength of the abilities will decrease as the number of different species in the body increases?"

"That's right, due to the upper limit of the organism's own immunity, the successor of the tyrant has a certain limit on the total amount of supernatural bacteria that can be accommodated. Let me give an example. If the total amount of supernatural bacteria that can be accommodated in my body is 1000 milliliters, and I have ten kinds of supernatural bacteria in my body, then the average stock of each supernatural bacteria is only 100 milliliters; but if I have five kinds of supernatural bacteria in my body, then the average stock of each supernatural bacteria can reach 200 milliliters, and the power of the bacteria will naturally be doubled."

Rachel nodded, and then pointed to the bottles and jars on the table: "Didn't Muxi College have developed a medicine that can eliminate the specified supernatural bacteria in the body through long-term experiments?"

Todd's eyes lit up: "You mean...?"

"What I want to say is that you can eliminate the supernatural bacteria that you don't need in the short term first, and leave the commonly used supernatural bacteria. In this way, whether it is in the normal state or the evolution state, when you use the superpower, you can effectively enhance the power of the supernatural power. Moreover, if you need a certain supernatural power in the future, you can find it in the supernatural power library and inject it into your body?"

Rachel's words gave Todd a lot of inspiration, and he began to think about the state of the supernatural powers in his body.

It seems that there are a lot of abilities in his body, but the effect of using them is greatly reduced. If it is really possible to adjust the available abilities in the body according to changes in the current situation and the environment, this is definitely a good idea to get twice the result with half the effort.

With this in mind, Todd began to discuss the choice of abilities with Rachel.

"The two abilities of regeneration and steel skin are protective abilities and should be kept."

Rachel nodded: "The speed ability can be used to quickly escape from the battlefield, so it should stay."

Todd was a little embarrassed: "The word escape is too harsh."

"You are a king, don't you still want to run rampant on the battlefield like a gladiator?!"

Todd shrugged: "Well, the ability of Hawkeye can't be eliminated, because I need it for research."

"Shape change and soul link cannot be deleted. These are two abilities that are often used." Rachel counted on her fingers: "There are still clairvoyance, night vision, weakening, underwater breathing, pain suppression and soil control..."

"These powers are indeed used less frequently, but they are all useful..." Todd is now like a tangled shopaholic. He obviously can't hold anything on his body, but he is still reluctant to discard the powers. After all, these abilities have followed him for quite a long time.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, these abilities are of little use."

Rachel's words gave Todd a headache, and he only heard him say: "If these abilities are eliminated in this way, then there will be a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"I won't have any offensive abilities on me, all of them will be defense and transformation abilities."

Rachel pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. You do need some means of attack when encountering an enemy. Let me think about it. The debilitating ability will only take effect in melee combat, and it is very risky to use it in combat. The ability to control the soil is relatively slow to activate, and most of the land in the northern border is frozen soil, which is not conducive to the effect of the ability. These two abilities are not suitable for combat here."

Todd suggested: "How about the freezing ability? In this cold environment, the power of the ability can be increased."

Rachel nodded in agreement with Todd.

After deciding on the increase or decrease of abilities, Todd began to use the targeted phage prepared by Muxi College to remove the less useful abilities one by one, and injected the bacterial liquid of freezing abilities.

So far, the number of abilities on Todd has been reduced to seven, namely regeneration, metal skin, speed, eagle eye, shape change, soul link and freezing.
