Chapter 249: Drinking Wine and Discussing Heroes

Mechanic tribe.

A huge mechanical kingdom standing in the maze. The Lord of the Labyrinth himself was not unaware of such existence.

As the seventh god of value and the greatest authority in the old calendar era, the Lord of the Labyrinth had tried many times to expel the mechanical tribe.

But later, he found that no matter what he did, he seemed unable to make contact with the mechanical tribe.

The mechanical tribe was like a mirage.

After his maze defense mechanism was triggered, no matter how powerful the guards were, when they touched the mechanical tribe...

they would pass through the mechanical tribe, as if there was no rule of physical volume collision between the two sides.

As for the huge spherical building floating in the sky, it was the same, with similar characteristics.

And no matter how the Lord of the Labyrinth provoked, he could not cause the mechanical tribe to counterattack...

The mechanical tribe was like an absolutely neutral NPC.

Even if provoked, because they could not be touched and could only be observed... they would not be harmed.

Of course, this was limited to the vicinity of the huge mechanical sphere of the mechanical tribe.

However, the other mechanical tribes who left the base also had their own missions.

In short, the Labyrinth Lord gradually accepted that there was such a thing in his own labyrinth.

Because of the rumor that the mechanical race has existed for countless ages, he knows more about it than other Outer Gods.

So, when he found that he could not solve the bug in the labyrinth no matter what -

then he could only exist with the bug.

In the future, when he has the ability to move the Senluo Labyrinth, when the turbid air rises day by day, and the weird rules of the world continue to strengthen the God of Value...

he can get rid of the mechanical race.

Perhaps, leaving the mechanical race to the first-ranked Eternal Lord is the right way.

This is the idea of ​​the seventh God of Value Labyrinth Lord.

But the mechanical race - has no idea.

The king of the mechanical race, codenamed Zero.

The mechanical race itself cannot die, the machine can be continuously iterated and updated, and the flesh will not rot.

In the huge mechanical sphere, the oldest mechanical race is said to have witnessed the oldest distorted world. It is also the most insane distorted world.

Earlier than the old calendar era, earlier than the pioneer era. That era is called "The Age of the Tower".

Later, that world finally returned to peace, and all distortions were suppressed.

The world seems to have no more abnormalities.

The biggest abnormality is the mechanical race itself.

When all the distortions are eliminated, the mechanical race should have disappeared as well...

But the fusion of machinery and life seems to be the last romance of the savior, and he did not disappear together.

Later, the savior also disappeared, taking the monster that sealed the source of distortion with him.

It seems that he never existed in this world.

The first mechanical king also ended his journey. The data was stored in the forbidden land of the mechanical race.

Generations of kings will get some memory inheritance from the forbidden land, but it is always incomplete.

Occasionally, there are excellent new kings of the mechanical race who can inherit the highest honor - codename zero.

The mechanical race no longer intervenes in any changes in the world.

The ups and downs of the times seem to have nothing to do with them.

They do not participate, but occasionally, very occasionally - they will make a slight push on a whim.

It's like a book. When you are very interested in a certain page, you can't wait to turn to the next page... looking forward to the content behind.

Now, deep inside the huge mechanical sphere, the most mysterious existence in this world, codenamed Zero, has turned a new page.

"Two challengers of the maze have noticed our existence."

In the dim room, there is only a little light coming from the light curtain on the wall.

The synthesized voice is speaking, and the content of the speech can be seen in the light curtain, with a smiling female face.

This is "Mom".

It is a tool left by the first generation Zero. In the process of continuous upgrading, the authority of "Mom" has not been reduced at all.

Because every mechanical family is in awe of the first generation.

Every mechanical family is also in the process of transforming "Mom", letting "Mom" take charge of more things.

In the end, the entire huge mechanical kingdom, this mechanical sphere floating in the air, is the body of "Mom".

And the brain of "Mom" is only accessible to the kings who can inherit the code name Zero in successive generations, who are responsible for making suggestions or listening to suggestions.

The figure in the darkness said to "Mom":

"According to the rules you set, we will ignore the source of distortion, but we will always encourage those who fight against distortion."

"And we will not take the initiative to help anyone unless someone can take the initiative to find us."

"If it is because of the twisted rules that the mechanical race was created in the wild, we will accept it."

"If it is those who have the qualifications of a savior... we will provide some insignificant, interesting help."

"It's like turning a story to the next page, or laying an extra foreshadowing on the next page."

The woman on the light screen smiled:

"Yes. Have you thought about which one?"

The mechanical king shook his head slightly.

His consciousness has established a connection with "Mom" and projected it onto the light screen.

The light screen instantly changed from a whole smiling face to many grids.

Lightning descended, and the mysterious man appeared in a certain grid. The "astronomer" looked up at the sky and remained silent.

The smiling face of "Mom" was in the middle grid:

"Odin, his power is magnificent. Astronomers in this era do have the power of a savior, but his qualifications... are dull."

"Especially, he lives a twisted life."

"He is aware of the pioneer era and the catastrophe that will come in the old calendar era, but he seems... still in contradiction."

"He only wants to be the king of the small world created by the previous creator Zhou Baiyu."

"He does not have the courage to fight against the gods of value and the fallen gods of value."

The mechanical king in the dark nodded slightly, agreeing with his mother's opinion.

Then the picture jumped to the second frame.

The huge cruise ship moved forward in the vaster sea, and the lantern bearer's lonely lamp was like a star in the sea.

"Pangu, you have the qualifications, but unfortunately, because of your talent, you tried many taboos in the early years. You attracted the attention of the fallen old calendar master and the fallen messenger too early."

"He is no longer a human being, he is a container. My child, you should realize that sometimes, the better a person is, the more difficult it is to save him after he goes astray."

"It's a pity that he won't be the savior. I calculated the probability that he can redeem himself, which can be ignored."

"It is indeed the strongest existence among humans, but the savior is not necessarily the strongest. What's more, it is no longer even a human being."

The mechanical king did not expect that "Mom"'s evaluation would be like this.

The third grid.

A man and a woman walked on the path of depravity spliced ​​together by twelve different fields.

The woman has an extremely perfect and delicate face even in the eyes of the mechanical king.

It is suitable to share the parameters of this face as some kind of face-pinching data with the mechanical people with aesthetic sense.

But he did not do so, because once it is stale, it will no longer be beautiful.

Just like the internet celebrity face is actually very good-looking. The reason why humans complain is not because it is ugly, but because it is like a mask covering the faces of many people.

The Mechanical King thinks that such a face should belong to this woman forever.

Although... this face has begun to grow snake scales.

"Nuwa, I feel pity for her. She is the biggest promoter of this era, much older than us. She is also aware of our existence and has... contacted us before."

"But the choice she made is the choice of a woman in love, not the choice of a savior."

"Although I don't have a gender, you all call me 'Mom', I think I should regard myself as a woman."

"If this cognition is true, then I personally hope that she is the savior."

"What she wants to do is also great, but whether she can realize the risks in it... This is a key."

"According to calculations, her future will fluctuate greatly, which is related to her other choice."

"It's a pity that I don't think she is a savior, even if she is A+ in qualifications, behavior, and character. But a wise man does not fall in love."

Rarely, the Mechanical King heard some regret in the mouth of "Mom".

So he came to the fourth frame. The fourth frame has a man with tattoos all over his body and a man wearing a mask and holding a flaming knife.

The two are not fighting, but joining forces to fight against another existence.

That existence, holding a black long knife, was covered with cut marks all around, which lasted for a long time.

It was as if countless wounds were cut into this space.

"He is not the savior. Maybe he is the most talented one, and he has indeed come into contact with the treasure left by the previous savior..."

"His upper limit will definitely be very high, because his talent is not inferior to anyone before him, but his character is not enough to become a savior."

"He is just a talent of a king's assistant. He can turn the tide at a certain moment, but he lacks some ruthlessness and the determination to kill and sacrifice everyone at a critical moment."

"Too many people will become a prison for oneself."

At this point, "Mom"'s eyes were rarely dim.

So that the brightness of the whole room was reduced by one point.

Perhaps it was because he remembered that the first generation of Zero also felt lonely because of his love for humans.

A qualified mechanical race should constantly update themselves and become an eternal existence in history.

But the first generation did not do so in the end.

The picture came to the fifth frame.

"Finally, my favorite lambs. Zero, you always focus on those strong people. Of course, strength is an important aspect."

"But fate's preference may also be a criterion for judgment."

"He is the weakest among all the candidates, but you should know that the power system of this era... depends a lot on bloodline."

"His growth will subvert people's cognition. Of course, I don't know if he can survive this mission."

"After all, he is too weak now, just like an ordinary person. The possibility of him becoming a savior is low, but - not impossible."

In the fifth frame, there is a somewhat restrained man.

The man is walking on a dark road.

It seems that he has seen many hallucinations, and he walks very hard. He slaps his face from time to time.

"Shouldn't kill! Of course not! The law does not allow it! The law does not allow it!"

The three words "shouldn't kill" were shouted by him with murderous intent, as if he was going to kill the whole family.

His feet were also like lead, and every step was extremely heavy.

The desire to kill and absolute procedural justice are colliding fiercely.

The path of killing is the greatest weakness of the legendary God of Slaughter.

It is also the path of retirement for all killers.

But it is impossible for a killer to pass this way. A killer who wants to retire will only become more and more murderous when he takes this road, and will become a killing machine from then on.

Therefore, once you accept a gift from the God of Killing, it is basically impossible to lose your identity as a killer.

but--

In this vast world, who can say that absolutely no one can take this path?

The man in the light curtain began to chant the criminal law, quoted scriptures, and talked about the relationship between justice and law.

Begin to explain the things that violate the law in the hallucinations you see.

This is very unjust.

If this person were placed in any martial arts story, he would definitely be a very shabby person.

But it is such a person who can still maintain his original intention while walking on the path of killing.

"Mom" didn't even mention his name. Because he is really too weak.

But my mother accepted the projection of No. 0 and recognized that this person was qualified to appear in the options with the above-mentioned people.

The screen has reached the sixth and seventh frames.

Interestingly, people in the sixth and seventh grids are in the same environment.

"In terms of distance, these two are the closest to us."

"But don't you think it's unfair to put a man who has lost half his soul here?"

"That child is very powerful. If his soul is complete, he is indeed qualified to be included in the options."

"But personally, I am more optimistic about the latter. After all, I like Nuwa."

At this time, the Machine King said:

"Both of them also like Nuwa."

"Mom" smiled and said:

"But Nuwa only likes one person. Of course, both of them are just options. I...actually can't calculate anything."

"Maybe I made a miscalculation. After all, even the first generation couldn't calculate the human mind and destiny."

The Machine King does not deny:

"In terms of ability, I appreciate the former more. Even if his soul is no longer complete, as long as we are willing to help him..."

"Mom" shook her head and said:

"No. Such help would interfere too directly with this era."

"We are powerful, but not necessarily powerful enough to compare with the product that arrived when the turbid air finally rose."

"The mechanical race is not qualified to save the world. Only people trapped in distortions have the ability to fight against distortions. This is true in every era."

The king did calm down.

"Mom" continued:

"Why not, let No. 4 make the choice. He may have a closer connection with humans."

Obviously, "Mom" and Zero have already had differences.

But No. Zero respects his mother's opinion. In No. Zero's opinion, the person who can modify his memory is more ruthless in character.

But he trusts "mother's" judgment more.

Because this is the continuously upgraded wisdom of kings throughout the ages.

In the last two frames, the two people challenging the maze have reached critical nodes.
