Chapter 538 The Enemy Is the Seven Giants
The tone of "promotion" does not sound like that of an old man.
He does not have the complex traits of tolerance and arrogance, humility and arrogance that are unique to the old man. If his words were changed into another voice, one might think that this was just a young man... or a middle-aged man.
This is natural. Because the spirit of promotion has probably been severely polluted by the "saint".
Dare to try out all versions of the "divine descending device" on yourself... This is no longer an ordinary person. His original self may have been dissolved in the infinite light long ago, and his current "ascension" is rather a fusion of many angels.
That's why he dared to say... was the act of dissolving the angels into the source of Holy Orders approved by the "angels"?
"I am afraid that what resides in the crown of the Pope is... an aggregation of angels with the memory of 'Father Andrew'."
Russell said coldly: "Because you have been integrated, you yearn for greater integration."
"I do not deny."
Zhang Sheng replied calmly: "But this fusion is not a mistake."
"Perhaps. Then let's talk about it first. If you let all humans merge together...what are you going to do with this power to create miracles? Defeat Dreams?"
Russell frowned and asked word for word.
He really has a headache now.
The monkey-faced eagle hasn't been dealt with yet, but another "unusual monkey-faced eagle" popped up...
The Pope obviously does not have monkey-faced eagle epilepsy, so he probably does not have the support of the dusk trait - without the "twilight" trait, it means that if the individual's mind is too distorted, it will easily collapse and dissolve. If the red shift of human beings is too high, it will destroy itself... Therefore, there are no psykers with particularly high psychic levels in this world.
It's not that they don't have the ability to cross the Leviathan Wall, but that after they leave the "wall", they are swallowed by the "water monster" in the sea of collective subconsciousness.
This wall blocks their evolution, but it also protects their safety... This process is like changing the map after ascending in a fairy novel, and the strength that was originally the pinnacle of the world suddenly becomes mediocre or even humble. Psykers are powerless against demons, much less against the "dreams" that tainted the original psykers into demons.
However, "promotion" also has its own advantages.
Behind the Pope stands the entire Cyber Church... Broadly speaking, they represent the bottom of the world.
Those who most want to be completely freed from reality and realize the incomparably fair integration and unity of all wills are definitely those who are suffering and oppressed in reality. The easier and more comfortable your life is, and the more privileged and talented you are, the less you want to leave your current life.
But their desires are so strong that they can easily be exploited. They will be deceived and become the accomplices of despicable people... because they have dreams.
Compared with reality, dreams are like intoxicating wine. It can make people break away from reality and experience a moment of leisure, but if it is drunk too much, it will make people excited and lose their minds.
Russell knew very well...
If churches really start to "integrate" around the world, the "Relief Society" alone will not be able to overtake them or stop them. There will only be a small number of people who support Fuji Society, and more people will be hostile to them - if this integration is indeed fair and has no side effects, and will not be manipulated and destroyed...even Fuji Society may be divided internally.
Rationally speaking, this cannot be wrong. Under the squeeze and persecution of external forces, human civilization has been reborn in a tight-knit group... This is also an evolution at the level of civilization.
——But as a personal position, Russell can only oppose this integration.
Because he's not really human.
He is the egg of dusk, dusk that has not yet hatched, a great existence on the same level as "civilization". Put in a fantasy world, this is the pillar of the world at the level of gods, which is completely higher than humans in terms of life level... When anyone's consciousness merges with Russell, it will only become his nourishment and sacrifice, but cannot truly become part of him.
In other words, if Russell doesn't want to destroy the world... he can't participate in the Great Fusion.
The whole world is integrated, and only he is isolated - Russell absolutely cannot accept that kind of future.
What he fears most is loneliness.
But Russell also didn't want to swallow the "human dumplings" gathered in one gulp. In that case, how is he different from the monkey-faced eagle?
After thinking about it, Russell decided to listen to Zhang Sheng's attitude first.
——As the initiator of the “Great Fusion”, what does he think?
However, Zhang Sheng did not give an answer: "I can't answer this question. Because as individuals, our thinking is never comprehensive. Because we cannot understand each other, the discussion at this time is like discussing whether the king goes to farm. Like a golden hoe.
"Only after everyone's minds are unified and merged into a hive mind, can 'we' know what we need to do."
The old man's voice was clear and resonant, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife without any hesitation: "Over the past hundred years, the Seven Giants have embarked on the wrong path. In other words... they have still maintained hope that they should not have from the very beginning.
"That hope comes from their blind worship of the 'dragon'. But I was a witness to that war... I can tell you clearly that the dragon is far from as powerful as they thought. It is not even enough to win from ' Escape safely from Fantasy's chase.
"We have long given up on this meaningless hope. Now, the only ones that can be saved are Sogo Island and Tongshen Island... because only these two islands are still studying the possibility of cyber ascension.
"What kind of genetic optimization, psychic technology, memory adjustment...those entertainment technologies developed by other empty islands have no meaning. Just like in the face of an overwhelming, destructive famine that is about to destroy the world, except for the technology to solve the famine , other technologies have no meaning. Without survival, there will be no future.
"Now, the time for researching entertainment technology should be over. All air islands should concentrate their efforts, start preparing for the great integration, start optimizing the 'monkey-faced eagle' technology, and then popularize it immediately.
“Only in this way can we calmly prepare for evacuation before the crisis arrives – when the crisis actually arrives, it will be too late.
"The depletion of planetary resources is only a precursor to destruction, but this precursor itself is enough to destabilize civilization. If dusk really comes, world-wide panic has already swept across the sky islands... and may even usher in war, division, suspicion, Hatred, at that time, people can no longer be united. Humanity can no longer be integrated.
"Whether it's a dragon or an elf... all immortal species have a sense of luck. Just like entrepreneurs are weak. Unless the situation develops to the last step, they always have undue hopes - they always expect something to fall from the sky. The next savior allows them to change everything bad without changing anything.”
I can be that savior—
...maybe.
Russell opened his mouth. But in the end, he didn't say those words.
Because the proposition of the survival of civilization is too heavy. Compared with the clear-thinking church, Russell himself was actually not sure how far he could achieve.
He could only smile reluctantly: "Aren't you the church? Doesn't even the church itself believe in the existence of the savior?"
"Precisely because what we sell to people on daily basis is the product called 'Savior'... so we know everything best. When disaster strikes, our church itself will be the one who least believes in the existence of the Savior."
The Pope paused and pressed his last bargaining chip.
"Russell. You may not know...it's not just Lycaon. Even your father, Sheath, has now returned to the church.
"Indeed, he once chose betrayal, but 'we' now choose forgiveness. In the face of great fusion, all hatred is meaningless... Our enemies are only the Seven Giants - to be precise, only those weak elves.
"Come to us, Russell. Your father is here too."
As he said that, the old man stretched out his hand towards Russell.
Sad, the mother cat encountered a fever of 38.9 degrees when she went out to buy medicine the day before yesterday. She started to have a fever today...
If nothing else, the cat may have entered the countdown.
Now I just hope that we won’t fall together, at least we will take turns——
