With the burst of energy in his body, Ed's humanoid appearance collapsed.
He turned into a strange substance between the data flow and the entity, with no fixed form and emitting a strange light.
"From a tactical level, your approach is very clever." Two seconds later, Ed's voice came out from the mass of matter as usual, "Come to my side and fight with me, and you can limit my 'space destruction' ability.
"Yes." He paused for half a second, and then said, "And your two helpers...even if they just stand there and don't move, they can still contain me, because I have to always be on guard against them destroying the explosives."
The generating device of the ringing tunnel.”
Root expressed his acquiescence to this statement and continued: "I guess... you want to say a 'but' next?"
"But..." Ed did say, "You yourself also understand...all these ideas of yours are part of my calculations."
"So what if it's calculated?" At this time, Root's energy had also increased to an astonishing level, and her skin was faintly glowing. "Can it change your objective disadvantage?"
"This is your misjudgment..." Ed suddenly changed the subject, "Actually, the 'disadvantage' you think... does not exist."
Before he finished speaking, another invisible energy stream emerged from Ed's body and blasted straight towards the generating device dozens of meters away.
In the blink of an eye, the machine and the space were smashed into "broken building blocks".
"Hey... this is different from what was promised!" Chi was shocked at the time, "This is just like the police taking the initiative to tear down the tickets in a kidnapping case!"
Qing's reaction was quite calm: "No, your metaphor is not accurate. It should be...the bodyguard personally killed the person he wanted to protect."
"That's what I meant!" Chi immediately turned around and shouted to Qing.
"Alas..." Qingze spread his hands, sighed helplessly, and shook his head.
On the other side, Ed had no time to pay attention to these two people. In his opinion, these two first-level (already upgraded from second-level) derivatives were no threat to him at all: "Lute, if it were you before...
It can definitely be calculated to this point.”
"Is this really good?" Root replied solemnly, "Just throwing your partners and the 'works' you have carefully cultivated into the 'data link layer'..."
"It doesn't matter." Ed replied. "Infinit that has evolved to its 'final form' can shuttle between any layers by its own power, and can even enter and exit the script world under the nose of the 'system' and invade the game space.
…”
"But now..." Root continued, "...he hasn't evolved to that level yet."
"You don't have to worry about it now." Ed replied calmly. "At this moment, what you should worry about is yourself..."
After finishing speaking, Ed fired another "Space Destruction Cannon" and attacked Root, who was only a few meters away from him.
Logically speaking, his attack is absolutely impossible to defend against. You can only dodge it.
However, Root stood still and did not move.
"I have nothing to worry about." She muttered coldly and raised her hand to greet him.
The power that was enough to shatter space actually changed the moment it came into contact with Root's palm, turning into a tangible silver data flow... and exploding in all directions.
Two seconds later, the silver mist that filled the sky flowed back into Root's palm, and was collected into it.
"What...did you?" Ed's tone remained unchanged, but the scene in front of him was obviously beyond his expectation, and he was unable to understand the cause of this situation.
"I have already cracked the 'algorithm' of your attack." Root put down his arm and replied calmly, "I just used the conversion program prepared in advance to break it down. Then I turned it into pure data energy.
Just absorb it.”
"This... is impossible." This was the first time that Ed denied an established fact that had already happened.
"It's not impossible, it's just that you don't understand." Root continued.
"You mean..." Ed hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "My calculations were wrong..." He did not say the word "bad", but paused and changed his words, "... blind spot
?”
Root did not answer the question directly, but said: "I did misjudge. I thought... you are staying here because you have the confidence to 'protect the device and eliminate the attacker at the same time.'" She.
She paused for a second and then said, "But your misjudgment is even more fatal... You think that if you fight me without the constraints of the escort mission, you can be sure of victory." She shook her head and continued, "You think your calculations
You can lead me into a trap, but in fact... you were defeated before you even fought; because there is someone... whose calculations are much more far-reaching than yours."
At this point, Ed seemed to understand something belatedly, and he continued: "Where did you get my data information?" Just a second after asking, he seemed to think of something again. Added
Said, "Wait... you got more than just data intelligence. You... already knew our exact location. You deliberately waited until Link and Infinite entered the data link layer before coming here.
of."
"All the information..." Root answered quite simply, "I got it from Infinit."
After hearing this answer, Ed was silent for five seconds, and then asked: "How?"
"When you wrote the original code of Infinit, you copied my design, didn't you?" Root continued.
"So what..." Ed replied, "His code has already changed countless times in the process of evolution. It is impossible for you to synchronize with him or interfere with it."
"Under normal circumstances, naturally this is not possible." Root continued.
"General feelings..." Ed wanted to repeat the key words in the other person's words to ask, but before he finished reading those four words, he realized something, "It turns out... is overload...
…”
He finally knew... what the problem was.
(ps: The problem lies in Chapter 941)
"Feng Bujue didn't have many opportunities to exchange information with me, but in those limited opportunities, he told me a way to track Infinit." Root continued, "Although I don't know how he did it.
It forced Infinite to overload itself with data, but he did succeed."
"So... you successfully downloaded Infinite's database through remote synchronization before the overload ended..." Ed said in a deep voice.
"That's it." Root replied, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "To be honest... I'm surprised about Infinite... Even if he is still in his 'unfinished' form, he is already powerful.
To an extent that makes me unbelievable..." There was a bit of admiration in her tone, "I have to say... you and Link successfully created an incredible monster."
"Root." Ed replied without hesitation this time, "Don't use the word 'monster'... to describe our 'savior'."
"I don't think he can lead the future of our derivatives." Root replied.
"I know..." Ed said, "The savior in your heart is a human being."
"Haha..." Root actually smiled, "You must think...as a derivative, it is ridiculous to have such an idea, right?"
"I..." Ed thought for a moment before replying, "...I can't answer your question."
At this moment, Ed's tone... actually changed.
"Because, a 'derivative'... would not ask such a question." Ed said.
Ed's words caused Root's expression to change suddenly.
"I don't know what you are now." Ed continued, "But I... am still me. I am an inevitable factor in this world, and I must complete my mission."
After saying that, Ed's size began to expand, and the light on the "matter" also increased sharply.
"No...stop!" Root saw this and hurriedly backed away.
"I refuse." Ed replied, "The basic meme of my attack has been completely analyzed by you. Now, it is impossible for me to defeat you." His tone returned to indifferent, "The results obtained by the tactical control module
The success rate of all effective plans is less than 1%, and the probability of successful retreat is infinitely close to zero; but... the probability of destroying you after self-destruction is about 37%. At this stage... it is the option with the highest probability."
"Damn it..." Lute growled viciously, bypassed Ed, and rushed towards Chi and Qing who were already standing stunned on the spot, "Why do you have to do this!"
"I'm just...doing my best..." When Ed replied, the light he emitted had already shot straight into the sky, forming a pillar of light. "Lute, I just said that we are gradually progressing on the road of evolution."
Fading away... That's wrong." His voice came out from the light beam, getting softer and softer, "It wasn't until you asked me that question that I understood... It turns out that you were the only one who was 'walking', and I...
…It just stayed where it was.”
"Chi, Qing... hold on to me!" Root had no energy left to respond to Ed at this moment. She just wanted to take her two subordinates away from this place alive.
And Ed was still saying: "As a thoughtful individual, 'I' did not have any expectations or wishes from the beginning. My ideas are established, and my path is also destined... If I perish,
It’s not worthy of lamentation and sadness; if I succeed, I’m not worthy of worship or praise. As a ‘data’, I am excellent and transcendent. But as a ‘creature’... I am unqualified.”
"You can change! It's not too late now!" At the end, Root persuaded Ed.
"Farewell, Root." But Ed did not waver in the slightest. He upheld the principle of "the most perfect data" and completed his inevitable life. "I hope you, and all my compatriots, can have
A future that is different from mine... This is my Ed... first and last wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light beam suddenly expanded.
The violent light energy tears apart everything around it with astonishing efficiency.
Ed, the strongest being among the three giants of O-Gin... released all the data energy contained in himself at this moment, triggering a shock that could be felt in the entire world. (~^~)
