Chapter 89 Coin and the Birth of 'The Burning Demon'
Ever since I can remember, the world has been red.
Everything within sight was covered by a wild red tide.
"Mom? Why is there nothing outside? There are no other people in sight..."
Wearing a yellowed headband, the crude-looking machine stretched out its arm with only a brass frame and gently stroked the gray hair of the child sitting obediently beside the bed.
The mechanical eye observed the object she raised. She thought for a moment, and then uttered a soft, inorganic voice: "Because of the doomsday... Coin, the reason for your birth is to end this doomsday."
"End this apocalypse?"
Following the "mother's" words, the child nodded ignorantly.
——This is where it all begins.
The last survivor of the family has been turned into a bronze statue under the curse, and only the last newborn has their hopes.
The child raised by machines eventually grew up to be the "best" alchemist in the history of this world.
Based on the alchemy matrix, a construct capable of imitating the ability to speak spiritually was born. The originally backward construct technology was rapidly innovated, and mankind tasted the wonderful taste of regaining lost ground in joy.
Pamish will actively erode all kinds of machinery, even coffee machines will not be spared. The infected machines will attack the living crazily. Only the consciousness protected by alchemy can reduce the erosion of Pamish.
But Pamish only infects intelligent creatures, and those beasts without intelligence will not be troubled.
Why is this?
Forty-six years after the Crimson Tide came, Coyne, who had become the world's strongest alchemist at the age of sixteen, often thought about this problem.
The "Mother", which is not a structure but an ordinary child-rearing machine, has been abandoned in the passage of time. Only the core data is saved by him for him to miss at midnight.
The content of Pamish in the air is getting thicker and thicker. Even after being absorbed by the alchemical filter tower, it is no longer suitable for ordinary mechanical activities.
When I was a child, I saw green mountains, green waters, birds and beasts in documentaries, but there is no trace of their survival in this world, and they were all killed by the endless red tide monsters.
Perhaps it is because... the civilization of this world is too weak, so that destruction comes too easily.
Before Coyne could find the answer to the question, the "trial" had already arrived.
The structure that the survivors relied on for survival was broken through the mental defense line by Pamish, and the uncontrollable infection came, followed by an avalanche like dominoes.
Large-scale structural infection incidents occurred in the surviving areas around the world. Before Coin could find a solution, the structure that he had optimized many times and became extremely powerful would be sharpened by his butcher knife as soon as it was infected. Reaching out to former compatriots.
Fifty years after the red tide, humanity's hope was extinguished, and it finally came to an end amid the raging red tide and lack of supplies.
"After all, I failed to end the doomsday. Instead, I pushed mankind into the abyss of despair."
Disheartened.
Witnessing the demise of mankind, Coin chose to "commit suicide" in the Gray City station established by his family.
But this suicide was also an experiment for him. He killed his own body and transformed himself into an "alchemical construct" that was still in the experimental stage. In the end, his consciousness was in the ruined half-human and half-machine body.
Wake up in your body.
Opening his eyes again, Coin saw the two maids he had created, standing beside his bed, waiting for him to wake up.
Deng Luxi and Yaris looked at him, the creator, with concern, and he suddenly understood that he was no longer alone - the technology he completed before his "suicide" had completed a great mission.
newborn.
He created real life through alchemy.
Having regained the power to survive, and with the help of two maids, Coyne, who was reborn, received the second piece of good news that made him ecstatic:
——[Pamish] fell into a deep sleep.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that the strength of Pamish is highly related to the level of science and technology in the current world and the wisdom of mankind.
So when the last person on the planet dies, the apocalypse will end.
He is the last human being in the world.
…
…
From that day on, Coyne knew the end of his destiny.
But just "ending the doomsday" is not enough. Even after his death, Pamish will fall into a complete sleep, and Coin still hates this abominable doomsday that took away his world.
The end he wants is to cut off Pamish's existence in this world, and to let the monster that has devoured his own planet completely disappear.
Therefore, he began to look for a way to end Pamish.
Existences transformed or created by "exotic alchemical structures" will not be regarded as enemies by Pamish.
This was confirmed by Yalisi's contact with Crimson Tide. She would not let Pamish wake up from his deep sleep.
The power of the devil can confront Pamish, and the wisdom and alchemy brought by dragon blood. The inspiration generated by the collision of the two allowed Coin to find the final solution. So he spent a hundred years building towers and furnaces.
Capture the weak demons one by one into the furnace and turn them into hundreds of whiskers...
This serves as the basis for the "demon that can end everything" he wants to create.
"So, you understand."
Although it was a question, it was an affirmative tone.
"Use the death of the last human being in this world to prompt the ultimate demon to be born in the red tide of Pamish..."
——It's called "The Burning Demon".
With the help of Bu Shun, with the despair and unwillingness contained in the endless Pamish swallowed by the sea of Jialan, the demon to end it all was finally born.
On the high wall, Bu Shun, who had his back turned to the blazing blood and fire, let out a complicated sigh and communicated with Liv who had left the tower, seemingly unwilling to say goodbye to the noble martyr he had created.
.
"How cruel."
A bloody spiral light collapsed the burning tower, streaked across the sky brilliantly, and penetrated the dark clouds.
In just a few moments, the spiral light came from the collapsed central tower to the battlefield where there were people who still missed it, and suddenly two lines of clear tears were left on Yaris's face.
In the sky, his true appearance appeared——
A head similar to that of a goat-horned demon grows on the snake-like thick and pale neck. Two pairs of ferocious eyes flash gray and black respectively, and a long purple-red tongue spits out like a tentacle.
Four thin and narrow arms grow on both sides of the body. The palms of the fingers and forearms are covered with blood vessels and veins, and the twelve fingers are long and sharp.
Under the wings formed by the entanglement of weird tentacles, the skeleton is constructed of purple-red machinery, and the ferocious dragon body is filled with alienated flesh and blood.
A huge metal spike broke through the limitations of flesh and blood, protruding like an awl on the chest. The four arms on the left and right hugged his body tightly. This weird and terrifying demon twisted its neck, roared and stared at the ground beneath its feet.
red tide.
——Or, in other words, staring at the blond maid with tears streaming down her face in the red tide?
Bu Shun raised his head and stared at this monster, which was no less terrifying than the Demon of Shadow Mist, with a bit of regret and sadness:
"The root devil represents the "root of cruelty". This is the supreme masterpiece that condenses the countless efforts and souls of the strongest alchemist in this world...!"
"My friend, Coyne, come and bring about the final end you desire!"
At the same time, the burning demon roared and opened its ferocious mouth toward the infected queen named "Lily" in the red tide.
A gloomy air like fire mist, accompanied by many unknown substances like purple-red scales, fell towards the red tide.
Between birth and death, the red tide immediately began to burn endlessly!
