The Reiki Era of the Powerful

Chapter 388 Carp: The Only Way
Mangula was so angry that he threw the plate full of jeweled toys on the floor.

"How could I cultivate such a strange ability?" Mangula held his head and said angrily, "I have the same mind with the carp bird? Why should I have the same mind with the carp bird?
"If it weren't for this broken ability, I wouldn't care about your feelings, and I wouldn't be able to kill you!"

This royal prince who was later called the Godslayer was not an indecisive and compassionate person, nor was he a damn animal protectionist who felt that the lives of alien beasts were more important than human lives.

But he is not a hard-hearted, cold-hearted person, he will also be touched and moved.

While eating fish and meat, he will also gently bandage the wounds of small beasts whining by the roadside.

He has a special liking for carps in his thousands of lives. The original reason is that when he first refined "Tears of Carp", he felt the unwillingness and pleading of the creatures in his palm.

So he let it go and traded the emeralds from his mother's necklace for what he wanted, and got a beating afterwards.

In the following years, he responded to the original carp's request, but it gradually became human and gave birth to desires, so he, as a nobleman, could no longer satisfy its wishes.

One day it suddenly asked: Can humans and carps coexist peacefully?like you and me?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Mangula replied word by word, "This is something I can't do even if I inherit the throne."

The carp with only three wings spread its wings, left its comfortable and warm nest, dropped the gems it had collected for several years, and flew out of Caesar Palace without looking back.

"Hey, you—" Mangula called from behind.

But the carp did not look back.

In an instant, Shikoti clearly felt the thoughts emerging from its heart.

——What you Mangula Caesar cannot do, I will do it myself.

The illusion turned again.

During the transition, Shikoti seized the opportunity to ask Yan Lvge: "What's the situation with this carp? I see other carps are not as smart as it."

"My mind has just opened, and I have cultivated into a monster."

"Demons?"

"Being ignorant is a beast, and being enlightened is a demon." Yan Lvge explained briefly, "The former can be killed and eaten at will, but the latter can't, it's illegal.

"You can understand 'opening the spirit' as 'brain strengthening' in the strengthening route. When other creatures are strengthening minions based on their instincts, some individuals will become more intelligent if they add points to their brains.

"By the way, this feature is generally heritable, just like Australopithecus."

Shikoti understands - alien beasts and demons have the same origin, but the superhuman will judge whether they have "human rights" based on whether they have wisdom or not.

But what surprised her more was a certain metaphor used by Yan Lv Ge.

"Australopithecus?"

In the end, Yan Luge's reaction was more surprising than her: "Why, don't you Nishizawa people even teach the theory of evolution?
"Don't you know that humans evolved from Australopithecus, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens?"

"……Of course I know."

"Then how do you think the monkeys on the tree evolved into ancient apes?" Yan Luge said, "Everyone strengthens their claws and teeth under the influence of spiritual power, but there is a group of apes that have strengthened their brains and become apes." Australopithecus.

"This is the ancestor of man.

"Later, this group of Australopithecus went farther and farther on the road of 'brain strengthening', becoming more and more intelligent, the group size grew, and there was civilization and inheritance, so they distinguished themselves from other animals, saying Himself as a 'person'.

"We're all carbon-based organisms, there's no difference in essence - aren't your biologists hypocritical and silently classifying humans as primates?"

Shikoti digested silently, nodded: "...Understood."

I understand, I understand, but her mood is still a little delicate.

When her world view was still very scientific and materialistic, Yan Lvge ran over to her and said: What?Do you think Seablue Star is a ball?
When her world view slowly began to be filled with legends of gods and demons, Yan Lige ran over to her again and said: What?Have you never heard of evolution?
This extraordinary world is really unscientific when it should be scientific, and too scientific when it should not be...

In Shikoti's wild imagination, the transition in "Oath Narrative" ended, and the illusion of low-definition picture quality unfolded in front of the eldest daughter of the emperor again.

The next multiple shots followed behind the three-winged carp.

It returned to the forest after flying away from Caesar's Palace. First, it broke the solitary habit and mild temper of the carps, caught the same kind and beat them one by one, and took those common carps with blue noses and swollen eyes as younger brothers.

Afterwards, it took its younger brothers and continued to be domineering, instructing them to fight in groups of three or four, and it snowballed to accept more younger brothers.

And it picks its victims for a purpose.

It picks other carps to kill when they are courting or even procreating.

This topic is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it.

But this three-winged carp king seems to be determined, breaking a pair is a pair.

It has established a simple but clear hierarchy within the group, stipulating that only a few of the most powerful carp can get mating rights, and the rest are left to it alone, and those who dare to mate privately can see a pair.

In addition, it has found a kind of berry from nowhere and forced the female carp to eat it, thereby limiting their reproductive capacity-from laying thousands of eggs at a time to laying thousands of eggs at a time. Ten eggs.

It has to be said that this method is drastic but effective—wherever the King of Carp Birds goes, the number of newborn carp birds drops sharply.

Shikoti, who was watching from the sidelines, was dumbfounded: "I never dreamed that I would see a carp doing family planning in my lifetime."

"Its approach directly points to the root of the contradiction." Yan Lige said, "If the number of carps is not so large, and they are not so greedy when asking for things, then I think people will be more willing to exchange 'tears of carps' with them , rather than violent extraction.

"After all, one is sustainable development and the other is destructive development."

"Are all monsters that smart?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on how it is educated." Yan Lvge commented unceremoniously, "The one you saw is actually not particularly smart.

"It just had the experience of connecting with the Godslayer Great Emperor, so it knows how to untie the knot between humans and carps.

"But if you let it deal with other problems, the IQ may drop off a cliff."

"That's true," Skoti agreed.

She has seen with her own eyes that the ambitious carp king has made many stupid mistakes, including but not limited to sticking his head in the millstone to steal food, and almost getting run over; Can Xiao Chong was tricked into the trap and almost couldn't get out; he led the group to fight with a mountain eagle, but was stolen by another mountain eagle...

It's not smart. If you look at it by human standards, its IQ is only equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child, and it can't even understand slightly more complicated mechanisms.

But by carp standards, it's still the smartest and most powerful of them all.

So its brutal dictatorship worked.

After several cutscenes in "The Narrative of the Oath", it became the king of the world, the unique carp king.

In the same year, the size of the carp population dropped sharply to one-tenth of its original size.

"The size of the carp group is originally maintained by huge newborns. You can control the birth of newborns, but you can't resist the killing of humans at the other end and the natural death of the group." Shikoti in the ghost state sighed deeply , "It's like the math problem of letting water in and out at the same time. If the water inlet is blocked, it won't take long for the entire pool to be drained.

"Is it worth paying such a terrible price just to find that possible path of coexistence?
"However, this seems to be the only way..."
