Chapter 698: The Legion of Necromancers (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Jounouchi Hiromi arrived at the hospital as usual, ready to start her day's work.
"Really, if you have things to do and can't come to work, just take a leave, why bother making such a puppet?" Jounouchi Hiromi, who was walking towards the office, couldn't help but grumble as she looked at "Chen Yu" walking beside her.
The figure beside her wasn't the real Chen Yu, but just a puppet that was possessed by a part of Chen Yu's consciousness.
As for Chen Yu's real body, it was still busy with his own affairs in the Necromantic Space.
Jounouchi Hiromi didn't really know what Chen Yu was busy with, but she did know about his major construction projects in the Necromantic Space and how he salvaged WWII shipwrecks for repair.
So, she wasn't surprised that Chen Yu wasn't coming to work because he was busy with his own things, she just assumed Chen Yu was occupied with summoning those so-called ship-girls.
"There are two patients in the hospital who need surgery today, I can't possibly make others wait another day just because of my own affairs, right?" The consciousness of Chen Yu, possessing the puppet, spoke while operating it.
This technique of puppet manipulation wasn't complicated—just simple possession and soul borrowing, a basic spell within necromancy for Necromancers to attach their consciousness to a puppet or an Undead Servant. It could be applied in various situations and was a very practical skill.
"If the patients' surgeries can't wait, then you should come to work properly! Aren't you afraid of a surgical mishap with a puppet?" Jounouchi Hiromi shook her head helplessly, not sure how to judge Chen Yu's actions.
However, although she verbally expressed concern about surgical mistakes by Chen Yu, in reality, controlling a puppet through this form of soul borrowing and possession could achieve 100% control as if Chen Yu were present himself, leaving no room for error.
Of course, the puppet itself definitely didn't have the demigod-level strength of Chen Yu, but performing surgery on patients, the strength of a normal person was sufficient, and there was no need for supernatural power.
Since "Chen Yu" was just a puppet, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't interact with him as closely as usual. After going upstairs, she went to her own office, leaving "Chen Yu" to head to his office alone.
Shirai Reina, who witnessed this scene, showed considerable concern and curiosity while preparing coffee for "Chen Yu." She couldn't help but ask, "Professor, did you have a fight with Professor Jounouchi?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask?" Puzzled by Shirai Reina's question, "Chen Yu" looked up at his secretary.
"Usually, Professor Jounouchi is quite affectionate towards you, right? Why does she seem so cold today?" Shirai Reina felt somewhat uneasy, as if she shouldn't pry into Chen Yu's personal affairs, but her unrestrained curiosity still compelled her to voice her doubts to "Chen Yu."
"Oh, it's nothing." "Chen Yu" smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "Hiromi was just upset this morning because she couldn't find a piece of clothing. Thank you for your concern, now go and attend to your own work."
"Yes, Professor." Hearing "Chen Yu" say this, Shirai Reina quickly nodded and left Chen Yu's office.
Watching Shirai Reina leave, "Chen Yu" too began to get busy with his own tasks. Although he was only using a part of his consciousness to operate the puppet, he could still ensure that the work was done properly.
——————————————————————
Meanwhile, in the Necromantic Space, Chen Yu was manipulating puppets to handle the work of the hospital while watching a batch of freshly transformed Dark Warriors engaged in combat.
These Dark Warriors, having been made through the dragon-transformed mutants created by Chen Yu, possessed not only the professional abilities of ordinary Dark Warriors but also exceptional physical qualities that enabled them to display Expert Level combat prowess immediately after their class change.
However, since their fighting skills were instilled through memory ingestion, these cannon fodders who were born less than ten days ago could not yet master these combat skills proficiently. Therefore, it had become essential to let them fight in order to deepen their mastery of these tactics.
The battles between these Dark Warriors were fierce and unreserved, with each striving to kill the other without any hesitation, resulting in fights that inevitably left them either dead or crippled.
But this was indeed the fastest way for them to grasp combat skills and accumulate battle experience.
As for the possible injuries from combat? For a Necromancer, being alive or dead didn't make much difference.
The injured were taken for healing, and since these dragonized mutant Dark Warriors had two hearts and a series of enhancement measures, their injuries were quite easy to heal unless their heads were chopped off, and even missing limbs could be quickly reattached.
As for those who died, if the corpse was intact, it would be transformed into an undead. If too mutilated or if it was just fragments, those parts would be taken to be melted down and transformed back into biomass.
And their souls would be recycled, filling into new bodies without any waste.
"This way of accumulating combat experience is quite efficient, but it only improves individual battle experience and doesn't enhance the group as a whole..." Chen Yu frowned as he watched the Dark Warriors fighting fiercely below.
While these Dark Warriors had similar qualifications in all aspects, it was clear that some were accumulating combat experience slightly faster than others of the same batch. Meanwhile, some, due to the issues with their opponents, had little improvement.
And for those who had died once or multiple times, the increase in combat prowess was either more pronounced or less obvious, giving rise to a stratification in the combat strength of the group of Dark Warriors.
While it was possible to select stronger individuals, Chen Yu still felt this was a flaw.
It would be undoubtedly faster to improve the combat strength of these Dark Warriors if their memories could be shared, becoming one entity, with each individual's combat experience being uploaded and then shared with all, thus enhancing everyone's combat experience.
This was not impossible, just a matter of linking their souls through a spell.
On the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," of course, such techniques were to be found, and in various forms.
There were techniques to build a core of a Soul Network to link all souls to the core; there were techniques to merge all individuals into one whole, in which one equaled all and all equaled one, for the creation of legion undead; and there were also techniques to allow every individual soul to have a common sense with other souls...
After some consideration, Chen Yu decided to try out all three techniques and, based on the differences in these techniques, transformed this batch of Dark Warriors into three types of Advanced Necromancer Servants.
