Soul of Burning Steel

The rainstorm subsided gradually, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed. The rare fresh air surged between the world where all the dust was swept away by the rainstorm. It was dusk at this time, and you could see the dim yellow sun and the deep blue sky at the end of the horizon. Stars looming in the middle.

It has been a long time since the Siberians had seen such a pure sky.

On the muddy ground, Joshua grasped the core puppet that had been shaved off a human stick. The puppet's huge hand relaxed a little, so as not to accidentally crush this precious material.

A soul puppet who has self-awareness, in other words, can be called a "smart life"-Joshua envisioned this possibility at the beginning. After all, the source of the core of the soul is the soul of ordinary people, and the soul puppet is originally Have the potential to become a smart life.

But Qiao Xiuya did not expect that there would be exactly one in the hunter's army. According to his estimation, this kind of existence should be the upper level of the soul puppet, responsible for issuing orders and judging the situation, how could he personally end the battle?

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with Joshua. He doesn’t care about the social structure of the soul puppets. He only needs to search for the other party’s information. For this alone, having a soul is not a bad thing, and even better, because there is no need Bothered to decode it.

The silver light in his hand flickered again, and Joshua used the power of steel to forcibly connect the soul of the core puppet, and began to build an information link bridge, preparing to search for information in the depths of the opponent's soul.

The warrior at this time has a deeper understanding of the power he holds. Through the power of steel's "information link" ability, he is more proficient in searching for souls and memories, and because he gradually understands the particles of steel With regard to the relationship between superpowers, Joshua has roughly understood how the so-called'authority' is used by ordinary people.

If the source of the particles of steel is the same as Joshua imagined, it is the fragments of the remains of the steel python after the world is broken, then the fragments of these worlds will undoubtedly be attracted by other worlds, and the particles will sweep together with the magic wave. Going through countless worlds, then being intercepted by the soul of the creatures in it, and then absorbed, making an ordinary person a superpower.

But what if this world is a low demons world and no one has a soul? In fact, this is not a big problem, because the soul is only the best interception body, but it is not the only one. In addition to the soul, the flesh of intelligent life itself, as a life derived from the power of steel, can naturally absorb the particles of steel. It is just a chance. Relatively low.

However, the result of using the body to absorb the particles of steel will create a situation in the Siboyan world where the particles of steel are lodged in a certain body organ. If this part of the organ is removed, the superpower will naturally disappear, but because of the steel With the existence of particles, super-powered people who originally had no souls will quickly give birth to souls. Used to control this power, the particles will slowly transfer to the soul, and finally merge into one.

Once the soul is produced, everything can enter a virtuous circle. With the birth and death of the soul, the energy concentration of the world will increase rapidly, and the increase of the energy concentration can in turn speed up the birth of the soul, and more souls can intercept more. More particles of steel make the world more quickly absorb other powers to destroy the world, and become stronger and bigger.

This is a perfect virtuous circle. Ordinary people will gain extraordinary powers. In the end, the entire race will be born with souls, and the world will have more and more power and energy concentration... Although, everything They are all built on the destruction of other worlds, but it is true, Joshua even guessed that this is the origin of some of the world's extraordinary powers.

And the essence of authority is actually the visualization of a certain supernatural ability. Ordinary people without magic and grudge can only use their own vitality and physical strength to stimulate it, and after having a soul, they can use spiritual power to stimulate... As for the original People with extraordinary abilities, when they gain superpowers, they only need to use magic and grudge, because the essence of magic and grudge is actually the aggregation of many powers, but the former is unusually primitive, and the latter has become a trainable one. , An order system that can be continuously advanced.

Qiao Xiuya’s strength of steel is advanced by the cohesion of vitality and vindictiveness. His power itself is the greatest superpower, the most powerful condensate of authority. If the superpower obtained by ordinary people is the strongest, it is E to S, then he is at least SSS, even outside.

After the completion of the ‘information link bridge’, Joshua ignored the struggle of the core puppet in his hand. He forcibly smashed the opponent’s spiritual barrier and entered the depths of its soul.

Soon, he browsed through the life of this core puppet.

"...How long has it just been manufactured?"

The giant puppet made a hum, and Joshua swept through the memory of the other party for only thirty-one days, and couldn’t help but understand: “No wonder the performance is similar to the ordinary soul puppet. 'self'."

This core puppet was born in a large industrial site in the center of the world, and was created at the same time as other hunter troops, and was born with the mission of commanding the entire army. Its soul core is specially manufactured and has dozens of times the capacity of other soul puppets, so it can be responsible for the command of the entire army. In addition, its spiritual power is about a hundred times that of ordinary puppets, even dozens of them. The superpowers added together will be crushed by it in terms of pure mental attacks.

Until now, this puppet is still resisting Joshua's invasion... But how can the mere mental power of a mere ordinary person affect the fighter? This kind of struggle was as weak as a mosquito, and Joshua patiently smoothed the other's struggle, and then continued to analyze the soul.

He is looking for the source of the puppet's self-consciousness, and his spirit sweeps through every detail in the other party's information database.

So, not long after, Joshua heard a mechanized voice.

"Load the ‘ruler’ permission. Load the ‘believer’ data package."

Accompanied by the noisy metal collision production sound in what seemed to be a large industrial base, a soul puppet's calm and unsteady voice sounded: "Congratulations, number Alpha-7739, you will become the core of the Second Hunter Army. Obtained junior manager authority."

"Praise the creator, praise the promoters of time, praise our master."

And the master of memory, the core puppet that was just created at that time, numbered Alpha-7739, also repeated the pious prayers in the same plain and non-emotional tone.

"Praise the creator, praise the promoters of time, praise our master."

This is the origin of self-awareness.

"……faith?"

Joshua interrupted the spiritual connection with the core puppet. The giant head of the puppet did not change its expression, but the black-haired teenager who walked out of the cockpit on the back of the puppet looked inexplicable. The two bodies controlled by Joshua looked towards The core puppet body, which was dilapidated and no longer resisting, had doubts in his eyes.

"Soul puppets still have faith?"

Because of this unexpected message, Joshua did not hesitate to deepen the connection with the opponent's soul-he wanted to see where and what existed directly connected to this core puppet!

In the distance, the center of the Siboa World, labeled 0-003 information processing center.

In the huge ladder-shaped steel building, not even half of the soul puppet walks, because the entire 55-meter-high giant steel creation is a huge puppet consciousness aggregate composed of more than 7,000 soul cores.

The information center No. 0-003 is responsible for the puppet dispatch, transfer, personnel integration and engineering planning of all puppet gardens in the southwest of the world. It is directly under the highest center and is the third stage of the entire soul puppet sequence. It has no need to report, and directly mobilizes fifteen large-scale puppets. The industrial base has the authority of more than fifty agricultural and mining parks, and more than three hundred insect-shaped micro-machines are responsible for its daily maintenance and dust removal.

The information hub is almost indestructible. In the case of energy, even without maintenance, with its sturdy basic structure, the 0-003 information center can continue to operate for more than 700 years, until the necessary parts are aging and damaged. However, now, there was a peculiar low roar suddenly from the core of the information center that should have never failed, and with this roar, a weak vibration began to shake the structure of the entire information center, and then it became more and more intense.

Click, click, bang! Inside the center, some precision instruments were damaged due to violent vibrations, and many parts were exploded. The miniature machines that were performing maintenance work inside also stopped running. Their body surfaces were flashing with blue electric lights, as if they were inside the body. The energy system got out of control like that.

Outside the information center, countless busy soul puppets stopped, because the fluctuation of the command issued suddenly disappeared... But after an instant, crazy alarms sounded in their receivers!

"High-risk information pollution! High-risk soul pollution! Foreign souls are invading the information center! The pollution is rising rapidly, and the firewall is about to break through. It is recommended that the number 0-003 information center be self-destructed, and the number 0-003 information center is recommended to self-destruct— — Countdown to self-destruction, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1—"

At the beginning of the rush of alarm, all the surrounding soul puppets' observation devices suddenly went black, and then activated again under a certain force... But even if they were activated again, they still could not see the external environment, only a black patch. , And in this pitch-black screen, a pair of twin pupils shining with silver light are gradually emerging from nothingness, as if to replace the eyes of these puppets.

But just when the silver pupils were about to fully manifest, the information center 0-003 also completed self-destruction. Only a low buzzing sound was heard. The reaction furnace located directly under the information center was completely overloaded, and a burst of bright light Electric sparks flashed across the inner and outer sides of the building, burning down all equipment along the way. At the core of the information center, energy lightning flickered everywhere, and the energy stream was randomly twisted and twitched in the atmosphere. In the core processor, seven The thousand soul cores all collapsed and destroyed themselves in the turbulent energy flow, and the internal temperature of the building instantly exceeded three hundred degrees, becoming like a melting pot.

All storage equipment and servers have been physically destroyed, and the delicate and delicate equipment has withstood lightning overload and Sanbaidu’s high-temperature grilling without any seeming conditions. There are no longer any opportunities that can be used. At the same time, other information hubs. They all got the news. They all temporarily blocked access to external information and started to strengthen their firewalls.

On the other side of the world, Joshua, who had just had some clues, had completely lost contact with the other side, frowned somewhat uncomfortably.

"What kind of mental barrier firewall is this, why is it so powerful?" He said with a hint of incomprehension: "Could the technology of becoming a soul puppet really reach the point where I can't break it?"

"No matter how the link is, it is a black screen... It seems that the technology of the soul puppet is indeed stronger than I thought."

At this time, the chariot and the others had slowly crossed the swampy area where there was still a lot of electric charge, and came to a position behind Joshua. They looked very worried, but they still approached slowly, but just When the three were about to walk through a complex marsh terrain, the giant puppet and the black boy turned their heads together, and they used an electronic voice with a response: "Chariot, is there any news about the puppet’s faith in the Resistance Army? ?"

"Faith... what is it?"

Looking at the blank faces of the chariot and the others, Joshua felt that it would be no result to ask them, but it would not make sense to continue searching for the souls of the core puppets-the link between the opponent and the distant place seemed to be broken, and Joshua could not continue. Exploring the information through the information track, and even if it is still connected, it is useless. The firewall is so strong that it will not be able to penetrate it for a while.

"The believer's data packet, and the prayer..."

Without paying attention to the panicked chariot behind him, Joshua whispered to herself: "If I'm not mistaken, the natural core structure of the special soul, plus some limited authority grants, can create a part of self-will. The soul puppet, and when the puppet has a soul, it will be loaded with a data package named "believer" to cultivate belief in a certain existence."

"The creator, the promoter of time, the master, listening to this title, can it be said..."

The warrior groaned for a few seconds, his brows furrowed, and he whispered: "Behind these soul puppets, there is a **** who created the ‘puppet’?"

but why? Even Joshua, who is not very interested in becoming a god, knows that if you want to provide faith for a **** and get spiritual assistance that can resist the divine nature, then the believer must have a firm will and a complete soul. , The stronger the will and faith, the more refined the help provided, and the more complete and powerful the soul, the greater the amount.

The belief of soul puppets is the data package implanted in the underlying program. This kind of firmness is undoubtedly better than most people, but their soul... To be honest, Joshua feels that it is not complete at all, and can only be said to be reluctant. That's all, no matter how pure this amount is, it can't provide much help.

Moreover, if faith is really needed, then why not design some ‘faith gardens’? Just like the “Plantation Land”, the “Industrial Land”, and the “Mining Land” specializing in harvesting food, industrial products and raw materials, the “Faith Garden” specializes in brainwashing ordinary Siberians and super-powers, so that this group of brainwashed people will be embarrassed. Make offerings and then provide a lot of faith as a battery of faith. This kind of design, no matter what you think, is better than spending dozens of souls, creating a flawed self-conscious puppet, and letting them provide faith.

"No, maybe there is such a field, but I didn't see it."

Temporarily suppressing such unreasonable doubts, Joshua felt that it was meaningless to continue thinking in this regard. At present, the situation in Siboa's world is getting more and more interesting and more complicated. The soldier couldn't help snorting when he thought of this, and he didn't know whether it was interesting or uncomfortable.

Siboyans and soul puppets, superpowers and rebels, the destruction of the previous generation of civilization, the origin and end of war, the puppets with self-awareness and belief, the spiral tower in the center of the world, I don’t know if there is a **** behind the scenes... ...And most importantly, the steel python that was expelled from the world.

Hidden in the center of the Void Maelstrom, the secrets of Siboa’s world are really increasing. Joshua can’t help but have a hunch. He feels that all of these are connected. Siboa’s expulsion of the steel python is absolutely nothing. Unexpected accidents, but planned man-made actions, and the existence of this pioneering work is likely to be the person who created the current situation in the Siberian world.

——It is really interesting. Whether it is a person or a puppet, an individual or a civilization, the world in which this commission is located has exceeded my imagination time and time again.

And just behind Joshua, the trio of chariots was carefully observing the entire battlefield.

As spectators in this battle, they were not attacked at all, at least they were a little frightened. Neither the earthquake swamp nor the torrential rain and thunder reached their location, and I don’t know if Joshua deliberately did it. . At this moment, the chariot looked around and he couldn't help letting out a breath.

Everywhere you enter the eyes is the wreckage of the puppets.

Buried in the soil, the shattered puppet, dumped in the water, the puppet scorched by the thunder, the puppet caught in the swamp, immobile, the soul core blown out, there is no debris at all, the puppet that was blasted into powder by a huge iron fist ... Within a few thousand meters, the earth was in a mess, and it was devastated. The dirty engine oil mixed with muddy water surging in the crevices of the soil, you could smell the unpleasant smell of iron.

In just ten minutes, an entire army of 10,000 hunters was wiped out, leaving only half of the puppets in the opponent’s hands that were probably broken... and the tank knew that this was not the limit, because when the downpour fell. When the thunder was roaring, he saw violent wind surging in the surrounding atmosphere, and dozens of embryonic forms of tornadoes emerged in the gloomy world, but I don’t know why, Joshua did not continue to create tornadoes, but used the next one. ability.

Speaking of ability. The chariot couldn't help but raise his head and looked behind the giant puppet. On the continuously rotating steel ring, six gems were shining brightly. The six colors of silver, green, white, gold, red and black are operating regularly, and powerful energy surges in the air, creating energy particles of various colors floating away.

If one jewel means a superpower as powerful as before, then these six jewels are invaluable treasures, and they also mean that they can completely destroy the hunter army and the power of the resistance army— —The huge puppet and young man in front of me is a dangerous person who can kill the entire resistance army with his own power!

Moreover, the other party seems to be very dissatisfied with their slaughter of labor puppets.

But what can be done... The old man who has reached old age and has basically experienced the entire history of the rise and fall of the Resistance can't help but sigh in his heart.

Unlike the ordinary young super-powered people who don't know anything, the chariot certainly knows that those labor puppets working outside the place are the parents of these super-powered people!

This matter was almost clear at the birth of the first baby in the rebel army-when everyone saw that the abdomen was enlarged, and the woman who was suspected of having a malignant disease gave birth to a baby in pain, the rebel army All smarter people almost understand how life came to this world... And when it was discovered that the labor puppets in the plantation would also produce infants, the middle and high level of the resistance army almost knew the origin of themselves and others.

At the beginning, the original rebel army wanted to save some labor puppets from the field, but these ordinary people have long been brainwashed into human puppets without wisdom and self-will, and rescued them, not just killing them. , Is also a resource reserve that oppresses all other superpowers. After perceiving his own powerlessness, in order to avoid other super-powers from overwhelmingly trying to rescue the labor puppets after knowing the truth, and then triggering turmoil within the resistance army, the leader deliberately clearly separated the super-powers and ordinary people. Limits, only rescue those super-powered young children.

As for the subsequent massacre, it was just to accomplish the goal. After so many years, the vast majority of superpowers have long stopped treating ordinary Siberians as human beings. They really think that they are not the same species as laborers, and they can kill them with peace of mind-even some people have found that such massacres can relieve stress. , Actually fell in love with this behavior.

It's... sad.

"Why, tank, your face is very bad."

Suddenly heard the voice of an unfamiliar boy, the old man was startled, but after all he was also a member of the resistance army, so he turned his head calmly and said in a tone of awe: "Puppet Master... …I’m a little uncomfortable."

At some point, Joshua’s humanoid puppet has come to the side of the chariot trio, ignoring the blasting that is too nervous to say anything, and Gu left and right said that it seems to be looking at the invisible scenery, only the chariot. There is still enough mental quality to dare to talk to this young man who killed the entire army of hunters by one person.

"Before, when the unlocker was repeating my question, I noticed that you are the only one who didn't show disapproval."

The soldier said calmly. He didn't care about the slightly discolored old man's expression on the side. Instead, he continued: "You answered my question calmly. It's incredible that you can live to old age in such apocalyptic situations... You should be a veteran of the Resistance, so I want to ask."

"What do you think of this world?"

Qiao Xiu asked, sincerely and curiously.

"How?"

At first, the tank was a little strange how the opponent would ask this question. He wanted to answer casually, but when he was about to speak, the old man's throat suddenly rolled and there was no sound... the tank sucked deeply. He took a breath, but it was still difficult to suppress the fierce emotions that surged from his heart.

Sorrow, pain, despair, exhaustion, as long as you think about your life for decades, the chariot wants to roar, sigh, and cry—but in the end, none of this happened. The strong old man just bit Grinding his teeth, he calmed down his emotions, and then replied softly with a flat voice without the slightest fluctuation: "Not very good."

--Of course.

——How could it be good.

——Where is this kind of **** life? !

——Is there anything I can get used to seeing this **** world? !

This kind of general statement of venting, the chariot will not say it. The old man’s tone was calm. Even though his heart was ups and downs, he did not show any excessive emotions: "It's too hard."

——It’s more than hard work, it’s hell, traveling back and forth in the hot world, bringing a group of newcomers who don’t know anything to fight against dangerous enemies, looting food, raiding the garden, killing your own kind, watching yourself more The older and the older, the stronger the enemy... I really want to die, so as not to suffer.

However, the old man feels that he can bear the negative emotions alone. He does not need to vent it, pollute other people, and cast a psychological shadow on the younger generation... If you don’t know, you don’t know. Ignorance can be considered happiness. This is enough. , It's just killing, it's no big deal.

The chariot closed his eyes, and he took a deep breath.

It must not be stopped. We can’t stop plundering and rescue operations, nor can the rebels have conflicts. Even if they kill their own parents and compatriots, even if they give up a lot of things, the rebels must continue to move forward...because if the world is desperate. If you don’t, then staying in place and doing nothing is eternal despair.

We must not stop, absolutely not, we must resist, destroy the field of soul puppets, and strengthen our own strength...If the strength is enough, we must attack the center of the world. We must continue to advance, because only the front has hope, just hesitate If you don't decide, you will sink into the abyss.

This is the sorrow and determination of the weak.

The chariot opened his eyes and said nothing, he let out a breath, his expression became firm again.

He thought this topic was over, but when the old man raised his head, he saw a pair of pupils that seemed to be able to peep through people's hearts.

"Really, you really know."

Qiao Xiuya looked at this extremely strong, heart like an old man made of real steel. He did not sigh or admire, but said in the same tone: "It is indeed a bad world."

"Take it."

Accompanied by the clacking sound of something falling off, under the shocking gaze of the chariot, the six-color gems behind the huge puppet fell off the rotating steel disc with the hand of the black-haired boy, the size of six fists. The gemstones gradually shrunk in mid-air, and finally condensed into six thumb-sized semi-transparent crystals. At the center of these six crystals, the brilliance of six-colored steel is shining.

Subconsciously receiving these six crystals, the moment the chariot came into contact with them, it felt that countless incomparable information appeared in its mind, and this information was rapidly being simplified layer by layer, and finally turned into even he could. Clearly understood diagrams and explanations... He didn’t have time to take a closer look. He could only know that this was probably a way to exercise his spirit and strengthen his superpowers. After realizing this, ~www.novelmtl.com~ the old man raised his head in shock. But he didn't see the figure of the black-haired boy.

The chariot hurriedly turned his head and looked at where the giant puppet was. He happened to see that the giant steel puppet, which was already 15 meters high, was slowly lifting into the sky under the spinning of the steel wheel, and then it went straight into the sky.

Joshua has left.

Joshua said nothing, and didn't need to say anything.

Since the Sibyan Rebels knew what they were doing and what they had chosen, since the Sibyan Rebels had the determination to give up and have this determination to move forward, since the Sibya Rebels just wanted a hope.

Then he gave them the seeds of future and hope.

It was originally a super power unit formed by the flesh and blood of countless super powers. It belonged to their compatriots, and they were nothing but returning to the original owner. The additional super power training methods afterwards were just random deductions, so it was not a big deal.

This is enough.

Enough to change this bad world.
