The golem twitched slightly and immediately started playing the file:
"Orcs, or genetically modified biochemical soldiers, were originally bred to limit the riots of new humans."
This unexpected answer surprised both Palamedes and Tutan, but they had no time to be stunned, as the golem continued to speak.
"However, the crew members could not escape the fate of [Soul Decline] in the end. Realizing that they could not avoid death, the issue of controlling the new humans became insignificant. The development of the orcs was temporarily stopped until the emergence of [Endless Darkness],
It’s been put on the agenda more often.”
"The final resolution was to freeze three million dragons, werewolves, tigers, leopards, elephants, rabbits, and bears into the isolation chamber of the [Great Firewall].
In the future, once an environmental crisis occurs due to [Darkness] leakage, these genetic soldiers will be unsealed along with the [Great Firewall] and placed on both sides of the wall to be responsible for the defense of the wall.
Once the environmental crisis is resolved or is confirmed to be a false alarm, the leaders of each unit of genetic soldiers will be summoned to combine the [Startup Key] to unblock the [Great Firewall]."
The golem was still talking, but Tutan's face was already ashen: "It's a bit different from my guess, but... it really is like this!"
Palamedes also had an embarrassed look on his face: "We are not created by humans. The people who caused us such hardship from the beginning were the gods and humans, our creators------"
The orcs were originally just tools created by the god-human race. The orcs' original mission was to "suppress the rioting new humans", but later it was changed to "protect the wall of the world".
But now, let alone forgetting the original mission, the orcs are so stupid that they run counter to their own mission and want to open the wall of the world.
This race, which has forgotten its origins due to hunger and poverty, blames everything on humans, intends to exterminate humans, and rob humans of everything they have. Did the ancient gods and humans who originally created the orcs have anticipated all of this?
"How strange." Vivian listened to the record carefully before asking, "Where are the foxes? Don't the orcs have seven clans? Where did the fox people go? What is the dragon race?"
Palamedes and Tutan looked at each other: There was indeed no mention of the vixen in the records just now.
"Search: fox man."
"Search completed, 0 results found."
"Search: Romani."
"Search completed, 0 results found."
"Tsk! Stupid golem!" Palamedes frowned even deeper.
"Don't blame it, the search results have nothing to do with it." Vivian thought calmly, "Our understanding may be wrong. Well, it was completely wrong from the beginning."
"What do you mean by this, Lady Goddess?" Tutan also looked puzzled.
"Maybe, I mean maybe--" Vivian cast her gaze into the dark distance, "Foxes were never [genetic soldiers] created by the God-human race.
They are completely different creatures, but they sneaked in as [orcs] and pretended to be one of you.
------Perhaps, they are just [something] wearing fox skin."
This astonishing argument left the big cat and the elephant speechless again.
"That's right." Vivian thought about it and seemed to have found a new breakthrough: "Start the search again. Keywords: orcs, rebellion countermeasures, viruses, biochemical weapons."
Paramedis gasped. Before he could recover, the golem had already answered: "The search is completed. It took one second. 1 result was found. Now start playing:
In order to prevent the genetic soldiers (orcs) from repeating the mistakes of the new human rebellion, self-destruction factors have been embedded in their genes.
The activation of this factor satisfies any of the following conditions:
One, when they launch an attack on any pioneer;
2. When the number of each of their clans exceeds 6 million;
Three, when they are infected by [Darkness] or derivatives of [Darkness].
In the first case, individuals who meet the conditions are eliminated;
In the second case, priority is given to elderly and sick individuals for removal;
In the third case, it will be removed depending on the individual's infection level and the degree of recovery."
"As expected." Vivian sighed.
"As expected? What do you mean?" Palamedes had a bad feeling.
Vivian ignored the leopard man and asked again: "Search again: genetic soldiers, self-destruction factors, symptoms, traits, treatments."
"1 record found:
Once the self-destruction factor is activated, the body's cells will self-reverse, and cysts and rashes will appear on the body's skin. Without reasonable countermeasures, the body's internal organs will fail and die after one hundred and twenty hours.
In the event of system misjudgment and self-destruction needs to be lifted, the system administrator should be contacted to inject [mitigating agent] into the misjudged individual to neutralize the destructive factor."
"Great, the children are saved." Vivian looked at her husband with beaming eyes.
"Uh, I haven't understood what's going on yet?" Palamedes was confused and asked for an explanation.
"If my guess is correct, this [Self-Destruction Factor] is the source of the [Scarlet Plague]." Vivian explained eagerly, "The symptoms have also been confirmed and they match perfectly."
"I, I still don't understand." The big cat became even more confused, "Why are the leopard people suddenly entangled with this [self-destruction factor]? They didn't do anything wrong?"
"No. They did something very [wrong]: they did not evacuate immediately from the [Chaos Blood] contaminated area." Vivian replied,
"[Chaos Blood] is originally a by-product of Anzi, a substance obtained by Morgosi by removing dangerous components from Anzi. If the orcs are exposed to this substance for a long time, they will be recognized as [Infected] by the system. So.
, [Self-destruction factor] will be triggered."
The Leopard Warrior shrugged: "I have been in contact for a long time, so I should be infected. Why am I fine? Where are Kaos and Bagus?"
"You didn't listen carefully." Vivian frowned: "Didn't I just say that [in the third case, it will be removed depending on the individual's infection level and recovery rate].
In other words, the system will first eliminate the most seriously infected people, as well as the elderly, weak, sick and disabled..."
"Safer and Seglade are not invalids." Palamedes' face instantly darkened.
(And I am no longer a living creature.)
Vivian glanced at the big cat again: "You have to admit that the children are very weak due to the previous torture and have not fully recovered yet."
"Okay...where are Kaos and Bugs? These two guys are deeply infected------"
"However, Kaos has mutated his physique to resist the blood of Chaos. Bugs is still frozen in the life-support cabin. It is unclear whether he is being targeted by the destruction factor."
"...Okay." Palamedes was still fussing, and seemed to be still upset about Vivian saying that the children were sick and weak.
"The situation in Greece is probably the same. Although they resisted Morgoth's Chaos army, the particles of [Chaos Blood] contaminated the entire city. After staying in the city for a long time, the self-destruction factors in the sick and weak orcs' bodies
It started."
Palamedes recalled the situation in Greece at that time: "They asked strong men to repair the houses and relatively sick people to help dispose of the bodies, which aggravated the infection."
The big cat stamped his foot: "You really shouldn't have left the children in Greece!"
Vivian did not answer. The outcome would be the same whether she stayed in Greece or not. During the battle to stop Nidhogug, the children would still be at great risk of being infected. Unless they were placed in a place far away from these dangers from the beginning.
