Chapter 414: Shiny
“It’s my turn to ask questions.” Igor carefully chose his words, “Miss Anfel, are you the one responsible for… um, cleansing the mental energy?”
Anfel cut straight to the point: “You’re wondering if I’m the container that stores the ‘impurities,’ right? Yes, I am.”
Igor gasped.
Ever since he heard that Belldate could harness the cognitive power of millions of people and absorb their mental energy, as a mental spellcaster, Igor had a massive question-wasn’t the Belldate patriarch afraid of being poisoned?
In the realm of mental arts, any thought other than ‘I’ is a chronic poison. Schizophrenics are the prime example. Their own clean and hygienic personalities can poison them, let alone someone else’s thoughts.
It’s one thing for a day or two, but if you’re immersed in other people’s thoughts for a long time, it will inevitably cause mental fatigue, skewed self-recognition, and bipolar disorder.
Actually, Belldate’s domination mechanism of “from the debtor, used for the debtor” isn’t an earth-shattering idea, nor is it patented exclusively by the Necromancy Angel. So why haven’t other domination spellcasters done this before? Why is Belldate the sole proprietor in all of Gospel?
Because mental energy, consciousness, and thoughts are an inseparable trinity.
Just like how hitting the jackpot makes you exhilarated, and being constipated makes you gloomy, human thoughts directly affect mental fluctuations. Mental energy is filled with all sorts of thoughts and ideas, like a fruit pulp orange juice. The mental energy Belldate absorbs is surely full of ‘thought impurities.’ Using this mental energy directly is no different from drinking poison to quench your thirst or eating shit to stave off hunger.
