In the end, Sheath gave up the power she gained after denying everything.
"[The Informer of Neverland]..."
Russell muttered the first code name of the sheath.
Initially, Sheath as "Wendy" betrayed Peter Pan who had given him freedom. The two children "Michael" and "John" who betrayed Peter Pan with him did not reveal the names of Sheath until their deaths; but those
The "adults" whom Sheath trusted betrayed him, so Sheath was dubbed the "Informer."
Immediately afterwards, he betrayed Happy Island, the Tianen Group and his mentor, and joined the Tower of Babel, which was hostile to the elves and dragons; his talent and character were liked by Sai Lun, and he was given the "lethal power" of the sheath.
"Love" to further catalyze his talents, and the destined betrayal of Sheath also means that the flower of over-blooming talent will eventually wither.
He lost the sheath of his "heart", fled out of cowardice, betrayed Alice who loved him, and the "bishop" who trusted him. He tried to embark on a journey to pursue his own meaning, seeking a grand death as the end of his life.
, giving meaning to your life.
But he still failed. The journey was meaningless, and what he did only deepened despair. He pushed the world into an even bleaker future...
The miracle that he tried his best to achieve - with a mortal body that had not crossed the wall of Leviathan and had not been transformed into an elf, without the assistance of sufficient capital and technology, without the help of demons and mages, he was alone.
Killed the dragon.
His emotions, personality and will should have been completely erased. He is a robot who does not understand what love is.
Alice's firm voice sounded: "I'm not Russell, I'm Alice. You still can't recognize me until now...
Russell sighed.
But why...
From the very beginning, he was born within the "New God" created by the Pope, and existed as his irremovable and irreplaceable "anti-virus software".
However, he didn't realize it.
It is precisely because he mechanized his brain into a "local server", and his strong self-destruction and self-denial desire allowed him to obtain this "anti-electronic" Holy Order power.
She obviously has talent, opportunity, talent, luck and the love of others, but she dances alone like a clown.
His "son" wants to eat him.
After hearing these words, the indicator light in the sheath's eye suddenly went out - after a long time, it suddenly came back on.
"The reason for your empty feelings is because the Pope completely deleted his personality at his request...
It was a look that the sheath couldn't move away from. He couldn't give up on the same thing for the second time... He couldn't even stick to the "giving up" thing itself.
It was such a weak, white and tender hand... belonging to a girl. Her strength could never match the strength of Sheath... But she directly held Sheath's hand, preventing him from pulling back even half an inch. She
There is no need to exert force at all, and the sheath cannot escape from her grasp.
His voice suddenly became soft and gentle, and Alice's body appeared here: "You are a half-assed person who can't even become the world-destroying demon king..."
After hearing Alice's miserable words and the mechanical look on Sheath's face, she finally felt slightly moved for the first time.
"... Are you so sure that you can still maintain yourself after swallowing me who is the same size as you?"
"Why does the church want to seal this power..."
He wants to assimilate himself.
For some reason, a kind of despair and pain gripped Sheath's non-existent heart.
The reason why Sheath was able to obtain this "anti-electron" power... and was able to continue to hold it after he underwent inhumane physical transformation and turned his brain into a semi-prosthetic body, is precisely because this power originally belonged to him.
Sheath was moved. In other words, he was afraid - his mechanical heart, which should not know what fear was, chose to retreat.
The emotion that raised his hand was just an impulse. He even denied the absolute rationality of the mechanical life form, and the vision in his eyes was constantly turning red and reporting errors.
Sheath whispered her name. He tried to reach out and touch Alice.
The electronic brain calculates very quickly. The sheath got the answer almost immediately.
Because he didn't dare to touch Alice's body.
"——I don't want it."
Alice's emerald green pupils were overflowing with emotion and tears.
——It is not that I imported the memories of the saints of the past to gain this power of holy order.
Russell suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
Russell understood everything: "It's not entirely because the church is afraid of 'angels who can counterattack and deny all angels.' It's also because angels with this power will eventually destroy themselves."
Alice…
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and the expression on his face changed drastically like a buggy mannequin. Finally, he imitated the expression when he first met Alice, revealing a somewhat reserved and yearning smile.
Sheath's series of painful transformations on himself, together with his life itself, became a ritual - summoning the spiritual energy with the ability of "anti-electron". It is no longer a simple power of holy order.
, but like the "vessel of God" and "anima animus", it is Sheath's own "new spiritual energy".
"Because you are such a big fool, if you leave me, you can't do anything!
"Since you only have one piece of data left - then it shouldn't matter where it is stored, right?
"Then why, why are you still unwilling to go home despite being like this?"
From that moment on, Sheath has gained the meaning of his life——
She put the sheath's hand that could easily crush steel and slowly placed it on her head.
It was not until his consciousness was shattered that his life was finally affirmed by "Twilight" and given meaning - the meaning of destroying everything.
Russell hummed softly, as if he was explaining something, but also seemed to be regretting something: "I just want to see what my determination is now... Compared with a knife, it is more like a side that can see."
Clear the mirror of your own determination.”
"I believe now that you... will indeed completely destroy the monkey-faced eagle."
Sheath's life of constantly searching for meaning was over. What he encountered was only infinite emptiness.
"Or maybe after vaguely aware of his own end, before he truly fell, he made the final decision to erase his own twilight will and deny his subjective harmfulness?
"To negate the purest negation... is really ironic. As expected of a man who can do nothing, and whose life is absolutely empty..."
"Stop now. I won't attack you. I will leave immediately to help you kill the monkey-faced eagle. I will never appear in front of you again, and I will never hurt you... nor will I hurt anyone who interacts with you.
Good person... No, I can also help you. We were not enemies from the beginning, I am... I am your father..."
The more he wants to hold on to everything, the more everything in the world becomes like the sand draining from his fingers. The more he wants to hold on to more, the faster the sand drains away. No matter how hard he works or what sacrifices he makes, nothing will happen.
Can't get anything.
And Sheath's transformation of himself went even deeper. He even transformed his own brain. If he followed the original definition of the ability of "anti-electron", the moment he ran this power of holy order, he would make himself
All prosthetics and modified parts were forced to stop functioning, or even burned permanently.
He reached into his arms, trying to feel for something, but in the end he couldn't find it.
"Ah...yes. Due to the security check of the airship, I couldn't bring it with me this time."
They did not fundamentally realize the nature of this power, and the technology they used did not touch on the principle, but was "invention based on the application level". They just used a superficial method to steal this power. This means
Once the power of Holy Order with "anti-electron" is activated, it will immediately lose control - because it will also deny its own aura.
But he can use this power normally... and even control it accurately.
It was obvious that he could end everything just by turning his head. As long as he left, Alice wouldn't be able to chase him.
Alice taunted, grabbing Sheath's right hand that was trying to retract with her backhand.
Threats turned into pleas.
But Sheath's body has been completely replaced by machines and prosthetics.
He didn't smile, didn't think, and didn't feel angry. He was like a puppet, expressionless and emotionless.
Alice whispered, standing in front of the sheath. She looked at the sheath as if looking at the phantom of the past.
What he projected from his eyes before was definitely not such an ominous dim yellow light.
"The monkey-faced eagle wants to get everything, so he is so greedy that he wants to devour the whole world; I want to connect everything, so I don't want to offend anyone, trying to be friends with everyone and achieve peace... But you always want to give up everything
.Because you are still living the day you escaped from Peter Pan with your two companions."
Her words and her hands caused the movement of the sheath to stop again.
Russell walked slowly, and his body melted.
His program alarmed wildly and kept making errors. The world in front of him was covered in flashing dangerous red, and various warning pop-ups kept popping up and then being closed.
"Yes, that should indeed be the case... Since Dusk was born at the end of the world, what's the point of not destroying Doomsday, but only destroying the eggs of Dusk? It's just cutting off the water with a knife..."
Because the "power of holy orders" of the Church is not natural.
The sheath was down and the dim yellow indicator light like an eye patch was flashing fiercely.
"...Idiot, dilettante, clown, bumbling weirdo."
——In other words, [Russell] has already seen it.
The machine covered in human skin was no longer the man she knew in the past.
He had already realized before that it was impossible for him and the Pope's plan to coexist. But it was not until today that Russell fully confirmed this.
Why, why...
"It's dangerous, don't go there..."
Russell already knew that the power of holy order possessed by the mechanical angels comes from the collective subconscious.
Delphinium realized something: "Does the saint behead his head?"
——Because even Alice herself would not remember those words.
"I finally realized what the three of us have in common."
Love, sadness, anger, yearning, relief, memories, disappointment...but there is no hatred.
The moment he removed the sheath, he understood [Russell's] purpose, but...
It's like I'm still hurt by him.
The thoughts of the same uploaded people, whether they are "Promoted" or "Lycaon", their feelings are obviously much richer than those of Sheath.
He threatened and persuaded Alice to give up this dangerous move: "It's too late to stop now...Russell, if we do this again, we might die together.
The sheath didn't respond at all.
It's like being hurt by something.
After being confused and wandering for a long time, Sheath finally denied and betrayed herself.
She raised her head, with a paper-thin, pale and gentle smile, and looked at her husband, who was more than a head taller than her: "But I forgot... I can never wake up someone who pretends to be awake."
"I have been trying to wake up those who are pretending to be asleep and let them get up and face reality..."
he……
"What are you looking for?"
It's a tiny amount of shaking - like salt dissolved in water.
The Pope's plan is to artificially create a "new god" and create a new "group consciousness" to overwrite the influence of the "old god" on mankind. It is even less likely that he will be recognized by the old god because of this - from
From a material perspective, his plan is to completely kill the old gods.
It was also meaningless and was completely denied. In the end, he denied the meaning of his life. He also uploaded his consciousness to the Internet in an attempt to complete the "transformation of the group god"... Today's "sheath", or "second
"Container" is the monkey-faced eagle's competitor as a "grave"!
In other words, today's "sheath" is the superior monkey-faced eagle!
Just as the unpredictable fate realized that the monkey-faced eagle's plan was about to fail, the world's disaster itself had not been resolved, and Russell was not sublimated or destroyed because of it - after all, there is indeed a possibility of the Pope's plan being realized -
Therefore, in order to ensure the destruction of the world, a new "grave" that can definitely destroy the world was born again.
That is the power that belongs to "human consciousness". It is the very small part of the huge and chaotic primitive spiritual energy held by the polluted "old gods" that has been purified by the goodness in human hearts.
Sheath realized it immediately - but Alice's hand that was gently pressing the back of his hand suddenly tightened her grip.
——Finally, in the depths of the dark and lightless mirror, Sheath saw the forgotten self.
As an empty shell of absolute nothingness...as a projection of Russell's other side, Sheath finally has the "qualification to destroy the world."
Russell said slowly: "Because it is absolutely impossible for you to coexist, and the monkey-faced eagle is absolutely no match for you. In other words, the other you - you in cyberspace, should now be killing the monkey-faced eagle virus on the entire network.
Right. As the monkey-faced eagle declines, your power is also increasing."
This made Delphinium panic for a moment so much that she clenched her fists, held her breath, and almost swept the cup to the ground; Bad Sun also subconsciously clenched the knife and strangled, while Bad Sun and Kamalse looked over at the same time.
"...Alice."
Just like his uncontrollable hostility towards the monkey-faced eagle, and the monkey-faced eagle's unconcealed murderous intention towards him... A world can only hatch one "Twilight". This means that they must either fight until the last person is left, or
They destroyed each other. But now, in addition to the two candidates, a new one was born.
"I have decided. I will never... let you go again.
You can vaguely taste the salty taste as bitter as tears, but you can't see any white crystals.
...but my heart hurts more than when I was a human being?
Deep in Alice's emerald-green pupils, a rotating mirror gradually lit up.
Alice did not attack or restrain him in any way, only her fragile hands.
Just like his expression when he betrayed those people in the past.
Her expression is complex, her eyes are gentle, full of love, but extremely sad.
——The sheath sublimated into the egg of dusk, which not only forced the monkey-faced eagle, but also forced Russell to give up his fantasy.
Or rather...
He destroyed the spaceships of previous civilizations with his bare hands and eliminated one-seventh of the possibility of the future.
That one was timid, lonely, and bruised.
——So, he finally despaired.
She had always thought of him as a strong and amazing man.
It was the first time she saw Sheath. Before she formally met Sheath, she said bad things because she resisted the teacher her family found for her without permission. This was also hidden deep in Sheath's heart and never given to anyone.
People have shown, especially nothing said to Alice.
But……
But in front of him, Alice was like an illusion. He grabbed it twice in mid-air, but it was as misty as smoke.
Kill the bad feelings and then smile.
Russell murmured in a low voice, left the table, and walked towards the sheath: "We all hold a certain kind of innocence... the kind of pure ideas inherited from childhood. The pain encountered in childhood, the obsession left behind.
After becoming an adult, I feel so out of place in this world.
Alice's body is only in her early twenties. Even younger than Russell himself.
But after doing these actions, Sheath gained the power that belonged to him!
That is to say...
"...You have finally denied yourself."
——It is not a "negation of negation". It is a complete negation.
My own memories that have been digitized and stored in the cloud——
Just like if you want to completely destroy a program, you shouldn't delete it, put it in the Recycle Bin, or shred the files. Instead, you should overwrite each of its files multiple times.
"……I miss you so much."
Alice said softly: "If you turn around and run away again...I will absolutely, absolutely never forgive you again.
If the human body is lost, it will be impossible to be recognized by the group consciousness, and it will no longer be possible to possess the power of the Holy Order. Therefore, mechanical angels must be made from recognized good people as "materials". They cannot be made from pure
Mechanically driven power of the Holy Order.
He couldn't look away.
Bad Ri subconsciously wanted to grab Russell's sleeves, but Delphinium predicted his movements and reached out to stop his wrist one step ahead. She shook her head seriously at Bad Ri, who was frowning, and then became a little worried.
He looked at Russell's back.
"—How can your mechanical body still make such a stupid mistake?"
He couldn't look away.
"——No escape."
Alice and Sheath looked at each other, and a faint yellow light gradually shone in the depths of her emerald-green pupils, gradually synchronizing with the flickering in Sheath's eyes.
Therefore, the boy is afraid of everything in the world.
The next moment, when the mirror shone beyond its limit, Alice's shell suddenly twisted and shattered.
As if an illusory string was broken, the sheath and Russell's consciousness were swallowed up by endless darkness at the same time——
