Chapter 62 The real meme
Zheng Jiu's condition at this time was something Edward had never seen before. A narrow and sharp horn grew on the top of his head, and his black hair turned into blood-like red. His whole body was covered with layers of burning flames. The raging fire brought out a hot wave of air, but his own clothes were intact. In Zheng Jiu's right hand, he was holding a simple and unpretentious sword. What impressed Edward the most was Zheng Jiu's eyes. They were no longer human eyes. Even his third eye was not so weird. They were eyes without pupils and red all over!
Zheng Jiu is now like a demon!
"I finally found the correct way to use it, it's not too stupid! Is your name Edward? Look carefully, this is the real way to use memes!" Chen Suiyun pointed to Zheng Jiu in the distance and said to Edward.
Edward looked at Zheng Jiu and saw Zheng Jiu coming and going among the many tentacles. No matter how many tentacles hit him, he would easily deal with it. He would either raise the flames outside his body or wave a long sword in his hand. Any tentacles that were close to him were knocked back by him.
"Your captain has multiple memes in his body. Although he was once misunderstood, he is still very strong. Apart from Chu Hai, he is probably the strongest. What he shows now is the demon meme numbered A-456. In the early stage, he can already show strong physical strength." Chen Suiyun commented on Zheng Jiu like a judge, but Edward had to admit that Chen Suiyun has the qualification to kill the tyrant with one blow. This is a terrible strength that Chu Hai and Zheng Jiu could not achieve, let alone the ability to reverse time and space that Chen Suiyun has shown.
What surprised Edward the most in these casual words of Chen Suiyun was that Chen Suiyun talked about the strength of Chu Hai and Zheng Jiu. In Chen Suiyun's concept, Chu Hai was actually stronger than Zheng Jiu. Edward couldn't believe this, and it could even be said to be a serious doubt.
The advanced chosen one can easily kill any intermediate chosen one. This is a concept deeply rooted in Edward's mind that has existed since the Misobudaan civilization period. He would never believe that Chu Hai in the meme fusion stage is stronger than Zheng Jiu who has been assimilated by memes.
"Don't doubt what I said. Indeed, Zheng Jiu's control over memes is higher than Chu Hai, but it is not as high as that of Chu Hai. If the two of them fight to the death, I would bet that Chu Hai wins, whether it is a tragic victory or a death to the death, Chu Hai must be the one who won. Of course, the premise is that Chu Hai can truly master the use of memes." Edward did not show any expression or say anything, but his thoughts were pointed out by Chen Suiyun. He couldn't help but look at Chen Suiyun in surprise.
"My meme instrument is called the Thousand Years of Tin Staff. It can control people's mind, will, and spirit, and can also explore the soul to a low degree. You are just a half-baked meme fusionist. As long as I want to know, no thoughts of you can be retained in front of me." Chen Suiyun smiled and raised the Thousand Years of Tin Staff in his hand.
Edward's face changed. If this is the case, Chen Suiyun would be too terrible.
"Sorry, I didn't intend to peek into your heart, but in this base, there seems to be a meme with amplification function. My meme device is also affected by it. You are so close to me, I don't want to peek into it. If you mind, I'll put it away." Chen Suiyun explained after seeing the change in Edward's face.
"It's okay, you're not trying to do it on purpose, so you'd better take it. If you encounter any unexpected situation, you have to deal with it." Edward shook his head and said.
Chen Suiyun nodded slightly and said nothing more. The two continued to watch Zheng Jiu fight against the giant octopus.
"Look, this is the initial use of demon memes, demonization. If your captain wanted to reach this level of demonization in the past, he might need meme liberation to be able to do it. Oh, I forgot, you seem to divide meme liberation into two levels. The meme liberation I mentioned is equivalent to the deep liberation of memes in your cognition in the state of meme liberation."
"Actually, my companions and I also entered a similar misunderstanding. We used memes too presumptuously, and you used memes too cautiously. I will help you correct this mistake this time!"
"You should have also been in contact with people who are infected with memes but cannot use meme power. They are just a slight increase in physical fitness. This type of person can be regarded as a lucky person who has not been able to reach a balance with memes, but only because of good luck, but people like you who can use part of the meme power carefully can be regarded as a balance with memes. If you do not exceed a certain level, you can use the power of memes, but once you exceed that value, it will become very dangerous. If I guess correctly, your meme liberation or deep liberation will cause physical exhaustion, right?"
Edward nodded, there was nothing wrong with that, neither he nor Chu Hai nor others, they would not use meme liberation and deep liberation until the critical moment, because doing so would not only be very dangerous, but would also consume a lot of physical strength.
"Your method is to consume your physical strength in exchange for stronger strength, while our use of meme liberation is different. We actively break this balance and overwhelm the meme with absolute advantage in the confrontation with memes. Let the meme provide strength because we provide strength, so we will have a very strong increase in strength and our physical strength will also be greatly restored and increased. Of course, we are at a greater risk of doing this. Once we cannot overwhelm the meme, we will be instantly swallowed by the memes and become a container of memes. Once you fail, you still have a chance to do it again. Unless you reach the worst case, you will generally not be swallowed by the mind."
"Later, after our research, we found a compromise method to completely give up repressing memes and allow the memes to reach a symbiosis with the host!"
Chen Suiyun's words were like thunder rolling in the sky. Edward couldn't believe that the method Chen Suiyun said was actually this, which was too rebellious.
"Don't think I'm crazy. What do you think memes are? As long as you successfully contain it, it is our accessory! Although it is extremely dangerous, it is just an accessory! If you can contain it, it means that you have the ability to completely suppress it! If that's the case, why not let go of the suppression of it and let it grow freely? The reason why meme fusion is called meme fusion is to achieve a perfect fusion with memes, rather than complete suppression of memes!"
"But once the suppression of memes is completely lifted, won't they fight back against us?"
"Do you think you have achieved complete suppression in normal times? Let me tell you, even me, or even my captain, we cannot completely suppress memes. The symbol of completely suppressing memes is to completely lose the power of memes! From the moment the memes are contained, the memes become part of your body and your soul, and part of your own body. Why do we have to suppress memes? To fight against it!?"
"This...it's so absurd. We're exhausting our energy to suppress memes almost every moment, but you told me..."
"So, I ask you, do you think memes are conscious?"
"Yes! Although consciousness is not as strong as our consciousness, I'm sure memes are conscious, otherwise they wouldn't be honest in normal times."
"In this case, think about it carefully. From the moment you get the power of memes, are you always hostile and suppressing the memes in your body?"
"certainly!"
"Have you ever tried, except for the first containment process to suppress it, let it act the rest, not suppress it, not treat it as an enemy, but as a part of us! Is there any!?"
"Don't you stop talking?? The answer is no! Then, why do you say that completely lifting the suppression of memes will cause irreparable consequences? If you don't believe it, look at Zheng Jiu! See if he is like what I said!"
Chen Suiyun aimed the thousand-year-old tin staff at Zheng Jiu. After a glimmer of light, Edward was surprised to find that his and Chen Suiyun's will appeared in Zheng Jiu's mind. He could clearly see Zheng Jiu's mind consciousness and his physical condition.
"I used the Thousand Years of Tin Staff to transfer part of you and my will to Zheng Jiu's body, don't worry."
"Zheng Jiu, I have saved all the people I can save. Don't be too anxious. You can demonstrate the use of the memes I taught you to Edward."
Chen Suiyun's voice sounded in Zheng Jiu and Edward's mind at the same time. After Zheng Jiu was slightly stunned, he replied in his mind: "Okay."
"In normal times, we need to balance with memes. In this case, we can use the power of part of the memes, just like my demonization now, my body will undergo partial changes, appearing as a half-human and half-demon."
Edward felt Zheng Jiu's body situation carefully. It was indeed the same as Zheng Jiu and Chen Suiyun said. Zheng Jiu had given up suppressing memes at all times, and the memes did not take the opportunity to backfire. They just occupied a part of Zheng Jiu's body and remained silent. When Zheng Jiu entered the demonized form, the memes would be dispersed to various parts of Zheng Jiu's body, which is also the reason why Zheng Jiu's manifestation changed.
"Then, this is the liberation of memes, completely lifting the suppression, or completely overlapping and fusing with memes!"
“Memes free!”
When Zheng Jiu shouted this, the demon meme in his body instantly boiled. The demon meme was integrated into every flesh and blood of Zheng Jiu. Zheng Jiu's image changed again. The sharp corners on his head kept rotating and eventually grew into a huge horn. The hair on his body also turned red. The flames on his body continued to rise, as if every skin would spurt a raging fire. Zheng Jiu's face also changed from a human to a monster with sharp teeth and sharp mouths. Even behind him, there was a pair of red flesh wings growing out. Zheng Jiu did not have a personal appearance at this time, he was simply a living demon.
But what shocked Edward the most was that the fluctuations in Zheng Jiu's body were very stable, incredibly stable, just as if he had not been freed from memes, and had just walked one or two steps!
"Memes are liberated! Let the body and memes merge to obtain the power of memes. We don't need to resist memes and compete with memes in exchange for such power. We can also do it in a communication way!" The meme fluctuations in Zheng Jiu's body became rapid at this moment, and the flames on his body became more and more dazzling, as if they were responding to Zheng Jiu's words.
Zheng Jiu, who had completely transformed into a demonic image, spread his flesh wings behind him and flew to the front of the huge octopus. All the tentacles that were hit were burned into charcoal by the flames outside him. Zheng Jiufei was in the air, holding up the long sword with his right hand.
As if he was trying to prove it to Edward specifically, he shouted again: "Strength meme! Liberation! Speed meme! Liberation! Demon meme! Liberation!"
The long sword in Zheng Jiu's hand became more and more dazzling. The flames on his body were wrapped around the long sword. After sucking all the flames, the long sword was already red. Zheng Jiu flew under him, and his speed was so fast that Edward could no longer be captured with his naked eyes.
A knife was slashed out, bringing endless flames, and the huge octopus was cut into countless pieces of coke, and the ground also cracked a deep gully because of Zheng Jiu's shocking knife!
Edward stared at Zheng Jiu who was crazy in the air. This was the real meme liberation!
