Chapter 249 The Development of the Modifier, Charm Time Stop and Hypnosis

Xue Dinglu was speechless as he looked at the vegetable-like person whose buttocks were stuck in the car wheel and whose entire body had vanished.

He wasn't quite clear on what it meant for 6 million of these monsters to be distributed around the world. They probably make up about 10% of the total population. If a city has more than 100 million people, there would be about 10 of these creatures hiding in the shadows.

This density ratio already far exceeds the ratio of homeless people or people with infectious diseases around us.

So during this period, the entire planet Earth was in complete chaos. Now, many countries are trying their best to restore order in their own ways, and dealing with these people in a vegetative state is already a huge challenge.

In many places, they simply openly display the virus, letting it run rampant in the shadows, leaving only spontaneously organized militias to resist it.

It's like they bumped into two of these things while they were eating a meal, and this was in a sparsely populated place like America. In a densely populated area, everyone would have to carry weapons to move forward slowly.

On the truck, the others kept telling Xue about how troublesome this thing was: how many there were, how difficult it was to dispose of the corpses, how it was hidden, how it liked to hide in dark places, how it liked to be buried underground, and how many of them could even drill holes in trees and hide inside the trunks.

Because they are plant-like creatures, things like thermal energy detection are completely ineffective.

Xue Law: "..."

He really hadn't expected the aftermath of this sacred tree to be so troublesome.

This is after he rescued almost all the people and restored them to human form during the war on his home soil.

If this happened in another world, the entire world would probably be completely ruined.

He could only sigh. Even if he could use a cheat engine to delete them one by one, 6 million was still enough to keep him working until he was old without eating or drinking.

Therefore, Xue's law immediately understood the harshness of this world.

It seems we'll have to call in help to clean this up. Even if tens of thousands of dragons were thrown in, it wouldn't make much of a splash. After all, there are 600 million vegetative people, which means that each dragon would have to arrest more than 10,000 vegetative monsters.

As Xue was thinking, the truck had already stopped at a large American-style rural estate.

One by one, the truckload of people got off the truck. After traveling several kilometers, the vegetative person who had been stuck to the wheels of the truck had long since disappeared. They seemed to have gotten used to the days when they could drive a truck and have this thing stuck to the wheels, and they didn't even care.

The group chatted as they walked into the large manor, where the sound of a television could be heard from inside.

Pushing open the door, Hercules was sprawled on the sofa with a beer and fried chicken in his hand, watching TV while his phone automatically played a game. With fried chicken and beer beside him, he was clearly living the life of a couch potato.

Even after only a few days, Xue Daolu felt that this thing might have gained weight. Why is its belly sticking out?

Can you still see your toes when you look down now?
"Hey, you're back," Hercules greeted, as news reports came from the television.

"Vice President Vance accused the Deep State of a conspiracy that caused this disaster. Those 'dinosaur people' in the Deep State are still thinking about overthrowing the world. We must fight the 'dinosaur people' to the end." A female reporter relayed the vice president's words with a mocking tone.

Hercules, sipping his beer, burped and then burst into laughter, pointing at the television and saying, "The political struggles of later generations are really interesting, accusing each other of being dinosaur people, hahaha, there are no dinosaur people in this world..."

Laughter echoed through the night.

But no one else could laugh; everyone fell silent.

After laughing for more than ten seconds, Hercules froze, looked at the silent crowd, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

The group remained silent, staring intently at Hercules, all wearing strange expressions, and simultaneously glancing oddly at the television...

"Ahem, the 'dinosaur people' they're talking about don't really refer to the descendants of dinosaurs, right? It's probably just a metonym. I remember they used it to refer to the deep government or something like that more than ten years ago..." Xue Dinglu explained quietly.

“No, quite a few people actually believe that dinosaur-men are secretly ruling the world, and they’ve even made quite a few movies about dinosaur-men,” Howard, with his panda eyes, explained from the side.

Xue Law: "..."

Now look what's happened! Those rednecks are more than a decade ahead of the curve, and now real dinosaur-men have actually descended upon the earth.

Some people explained to Hercules that tens of thousands of dragons now live in the mountains of Salem Forest. They are all descendants of dinosaurs who have finally returned to Earth after tens of millions of years.

Hercules was also stunned. Watching the US election news on TV where the two sides were calling each other "dinosaurs," he speechlessly changed the channel.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

……

Xue Dinglu stayed there for another night, constantly operating the modifier to understand the mess in this world and to familiarize himself with his new ability. He had destroyed all his previous Noble Phantasms, and although he was decisive in doing so, he was filled with heartache afterward.

However, he doesn't regret it. If he had to do it all over again, Xue Luding would still choose to throw away all his treasures to gain the support of millions of dragons and the six dragon kings.

The world consciousness did not let Xue Dinglu suffer a loss; after he had used all his Noble Phantasms, it gave him such an all-powerful and outrageous Noble Phantasm.

【Modifier (EX~???): Forged with the authority of a world consciousness as its core, it possesses permissions similar to those of the world authority. It can arbitrarily create and summon its own imaginary creations, and can arbitrarily modify its own state. Even on other planets, it can perform small-scale permission modifications with itself as the core (similar to modifying attacks to be infinite, making itself invincible, time-stopping, charming, hypnotizing, controlling gravity, controlling electromagnetic force, strong and weak forces, etc.).

Note: The energy to run the mod is provided by that world consciousness, but the cost of using the mod is still borne by yourself. Please ensure you have sufficient mana.

Xue Dinglu realized the power of this ability. For example, with the modifier, he could modify the attack power to be infinitely large, to the point that he could instantly kill the apostles in the Black Mist Council.

However, it also requires the same effort as instantly killing an Apostle-level being.

In other words, as long as he has enough blue bars, he can even survive the Big Bang with the cheat code.

This Noble Phantasm truly lives up to its name, forged with the World Authority at its core. It can effortlessly achieve functions such as creating illusions, modifying values, rewriting constants within a certain range, and stopping time.

Xue Dinglu tried time stop first, and the next moment, he felt as if the whole world had been paused instantly.

He realized that this was not a real "time stop," but rather that his speed had instantly increased to millions of times his previous speed.

According to relativity, the flow of time in the world is slowed down by millions of times for him. Therefore, the entire world is slowed down by millions of times in the eyes of Schrödinger's law, which is a kind of time stop.

"5 seconds..."

"6 seconds..."

"7 seconds..."

"Buzz!" Time stopped and disappeared. Xue Luding collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. This was still on his home planet. Time stop could only last for 7 seconds. His magical power was still too scarce.

A 7-second time stop is still too short.

It took a few minutes for the magic power to recover. And this was on Earth. Even with a super-powerful blue buff, Xue's Law would still be like this.

It seems that even time stop cannot be used arbitrarily. It is best to stop for a maximum of 2-3 seconds at a time and use it multiple times.

Similarly, we tried modifying Schrödinger's law in various ways, such as modifying gravity, atomic structure, and even small-scale fundamental constants. As expected, the more microscopic the effect, the greater the energy consumption.

With the help of the mod, he can even control the four basic forces in a short time, and the magnetic field can rotate a million times.

However, controlling the four basic forces consumes more energy than he can currently afford, so he shouldn't consider such ambitious things for the time being. Instead, he should focus on things like creating fireballs, water dragons, and clapping his hands to create a wooden figure, which consume less energy.

Behind the large farm, Xue Dinglu stared at a plant monster struggling incessantly across from him, clapped his hands, and roared, "Entanglement of Yingcao!"

Instantly, countless grass roots grew frantically and entangled the plant monster on the other side, but the plant monster's destructive power and control were really lacking. It could easily break free. Its advantage was that it consumed little energy and could be used to entangle the plant monster tens of thousands of times.

"Forget it, stop entangled. Let's use the root burial!" Terrifying tree roots suddenly rose from the ground, crushing the plant monster into a pile of plant sap, leaving not even a trace.

Then the roots merged to form an apple tree, and bright red apples grew from the tree.

Odysseus unceremoniously picked an apple, took a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly. He gave it a thumbs up: "This tastes really good, and it's packed with energy. The protein content is 10 times that of beef. An ordinary person could eat one of these and not need to eat for days."

Xue Law: "..."

Because this tree absorbed the power of that plant monster, which, in the dragon's mouth, was ultimately something that gave fruit to the sacred tree, had 100 times the energy and nutrients of ordinary magic.

Apple trees that absorb this energy will produce fruit that is several times better than normal apples.

"Today we need to have a good talk with the dragons about the future development, how to divide the work and cooperate to clean up the mess in this world, and try to get this world back on track within a year..." the old mystic Austin said from afar.

"There are still some remnants of the sacred tree roots. Do the dragons eat those? Tell them to gnaw on those roots quickly. Although they've lost their activity under the influence of the bacteriophage, who knows when they might adapt to the bacteriophage and start multiplying again," Doctor Xue said.

"Why do you think dragons would gnaw on tree roots?" another person chimed in from the side.

"This is recorded in Norse mythology. The dragon that does not gnaw on tree roots consciously puts a lion in its pupils and then goes to the children's table."
