Soul of Burning Steel

【Does life exist for 'happiness' or for 'meaning'? 】

The multi-dimensional galaxy, the bloody battle galaxy, in the royal court of Amos, in a secret private void settlement.

Former Captain Mycroft, Kreller stood in front of the huge training cabin, thinking about this question that only impatient smart people with nothing to do but think wildly would think about it in the sage state.

And in front of him was a wriggling mass of flesh and blood.

This is a huge container made entirely of translucent biological crystals, which is filled with a glowing scarlet solution, and what sinks and floats in this scarlet solution are large pieces of distorted and swollen flesh with strange runes shining all over it. .

It can be seen that there are blood vessels spreading like roots on the flesh and blood emitting a faint golden light, and around the blood vessels, there are silver eyeballs one after another. These eyeballs are beautiful and holy, like the most thrilling, perfect The flawless gem, but when it is inlaid on these internal organs and bodies that seem to only appear in nightmares, it looks strange and beautiful.

Suddenly, the flesh and blood began to convulse, and a large amount of foam bubbled up in the scarlet solution, and it could be vaguely seen that the weird runes that originally covered it began to spread again, even penetrating into the flesh and blood.

But Kreiler watched this scene with gentle eyes. He manipulated the equipment on the side, as if adding something to the solution, then turned his head and said: "How about it, Erma, feel Are you feeling better?"

"I have adjusted the concentration of the extraordinary barrier solution to 80%, do I need to continue to increase it?"

"...Very good, no need." After a while, the weird runes on the flesh and blood began to fade away, and a tired voice communicated with Kreile through spiritual transmission: "Thank you, Kreile, You are doing really well, you can learn the operation of the laboratory in just a few days... Your talent is really amazing!"

The strange aggregate of flesh and blood in this crystal container is obviously Erma—or, it is the core and central part of Erma. She made a voice of emotion: "You know, even if a professional Amos comes to learn, It takes a week or two to get started, but you learned all the steps in a few days, it seems that it is not difficult for you to take over my inheritance."

"...Maybe." Kreller couldn't deny it, he couldn't explain how much he wanted to help Erma, and how hard he worked, trying his best to learn... rubbed Rubbing his tired eyes, he whispered: "Persist a little longer, Erma, wait a little longer, maybe the medicine to solve the extreme virus will be developed? Don't think about inheritance now, think about what after death things."

"Well, I'll wait."

The obviously mutated flesh and blood uttered a rational female voice, and she readily agreed, but it couldn't make Kreiler feel at ease in the slightest.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the entire experimental hall fell into silence, only the sound of the solution in the cultivation chamber rising and falling.

"……does it worth?"

"Sacrificing yourself like this, turning into a monster, maybe even dying like this... Is it worth it?"

In this silence, staring at the mutated flesh and blood in the warehouse, Kreiler wanted to speak up several times, asking Elma what she thought—he wanted to know how this woman he was familiar with had to his behavior. Whether she has any cognition, whether she knows what the meaning of doing this is, whether it is worth giving up her life.

But, can't say it.

Because even Kreiler knew that Elma's actions when the extreme virus spread again saved at least tens of billions of Amos people.

——After obtaining the "barrier potion" developed by the natural teacher, Erma used her own blood as an experiment to prepare a barrier potion suitable for the Amos at the fastest speed. Qin had seen the relationship with Emperor Amos, implying that his actions had the emperor behind his back, and then used himself to kill extreme creatures, saving a large number of individual thinking individuals, and directly contacted the upper echelons of related industries, and began to rapidly produce barrier drugs.

This series of operations is flowing like clouds and water, and cannot be faster—with the opening of the transmission network, batches of blocking agents are sent to the entire territory of the royal court, so that most people can block, at least know the invasion of the limit virus , which in turn allows for better treatment and isolation. It is not an exaggeration to say that Elma's actions saved tens of billions of people, and she can even say that she saved the entire Amos court of this generation.

In this regard, the emperor did not say a word. He did not deny or admit that Elma was claiming his name. He did not stop or help Elma's move against the limit virus against his wishes. .

He just watched with great interest the ant in his palm struggling hard, making self-sacrifice hard, struggling to realize the meaning of self at the cost of his life, and then nodded thoughtfully.

It was precisely because Kreller knew this that he wanted to ask, was it worth it?

This sentence has not been uttered, but in the spiritual network connecting the two, thinking is equal to talking.

Facing Erma who seems to want to say something, Kreller's thoughts are open to her without any disguise.

"I know, for you, Erma, it is the most cost-effective thing to save tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of Amos at the cost of being infected with the extreme virus. This kind of sacrifice is noble and respectable. Countless people pass on your name, inherit your grace, and live because of the future you bestow—this kind of spirit is simply a legendary epic destined to be sung to the next era.

However, I am a cold-blooded, ruthless guy who looks down on foreigners. I don’t care if a stranger dies in front of my eyes. I can even eat happily when I die miserably. But when people I know are hurt and feel uncomfortable, I am about to die. I am vulgar. And selfish villain.

To me, compared to you, the tens of billions of fanatical and xenophobic Amos are just dust, and you are the sun, the sun is willing to go out for the dust, I really can't accept it-but I understand , for you, there is nothing worthwhile or not, because you can do this, and you who are willing to rebel against the emperor for the sake of the Amos will naturally sacrifice your life for the Amos. This is probably what you mean, I feel it, and you're even happy about it. "

——Happiness is the dual satisfaction of 'spiritual' and 'material'.

——Meaning is the process of "realizing" and "following" self-will.

At this moment, even though Elma was deformed into a flesh and blood monster because of fighting against the erosion of the extreme virus, no one can say that she is unhappy now and her life is meaningless.

Because she got both material and spiritual satisfaction, she realized and followed her own will, and carried out her always wish.

However, the flesh and blood in the cultivation cabin squirmed slightly, as if shaking its head.

"Kreiler, you can't say that."

Gentle mental fluctuations came, as if they wanted to enlighten the other party: "Let's use an analogy - when a group of people were playing in the forest, they were suddenly attacked by wild animals, and everyone fled in panic, but according to their speed, basically There's no way anyone could escape."

"And at this moment, suddenly there was a person who stayed and chose to fight—in her heart, maybe there was no such thing as 'sacrifice for the Amos', she might just be pure anger, pure unwillingness, anger Why don't the guardians in the crowd take action, why is their fate so unwilling?"

"So, if he didn't make a move, I made a move—the man fought and temporarily repelled the beast, allowing most people to leave, but he was dying too... The other people who escaped with their lives, as well as the onlookers It’s touching to say it’s noble self-sacrifice, but it’s not.”

A golden tentacle protruded from the flesh and blood. It seemed to want to touch the tearful face of Kreller through the crystal wall of the cultivation chamber. Elma said calmly: "Sacrifice is not so cheap." ...But sacrifice may be so cheap, after all, we are all selfish beings, as long as it is for our own will and self-meaning, even sacrifice is willing to be happy."

Erma herself is a top scholar in related extraordinary biology. She can even deduce an artificial body that fits the soul from the aspect of soul adaptability for aliens without any consultation.

You know, when Kreiler was in the soul ball, he didn't have physical genetic factors, only his soul, but with some simple information, Elma was able to use the characteristics of Kreiler's soul to make his body The seven seven eight eight, roughly the same.

After getting consultation from the natural tutor who is not so much the information, it is more like teaching you how to make the barrier potion step by step, she can quickly make a barrier potion suitable for the Amos according to her body. It is not difficult, even for the most professional It is impossible for the experimental personnel to be faster than her. Moreover, if she hadn't met the emperor frequently and was a hero who killed extreme life, her follow-up series of instructions under the guise of the emperor would not be effective, let alone such a quick transfer. The entire production system saved so many Amos.

Therefore, Elma knew that the person who did all this was herself, no one else could do it, only herself, and this was something only she could do.

"...Ah, sorry, Kreiler, I lied."

After a long silence, suddenly, the flesh and blood in the scarlet solution began to twist, boiling heat came out of it, and the strange runes spread again, but this time, Elma's voice was not so relaxed, she suppressed Bearing the pain, he smiled and said: "I underestimated the limit virus... I thought that with my strength, I could suppress it for a while, but it turned out to be far stronger than I imagined..."

Under Kreiler's shocked gaze, strange flesh and blood began to proliferate in the training chamber, and countless distorted faces began to appear on the golden flesh and blood——these were faces, the faces of Erma Amos. , Erma's human-like face, and all kinds of faces that I can't tell what kind of creature it is.

These faces are not terrifying, they can even be called beautiful. After they appeared, they began to howl and merge with each other. Soon, they were about to merge into a flawless picture on the flesh and blood. Although they were not human, they were human. You will also feel a beautiful, sublimated face, and with the appearance of this face, cocoon threads begin to appear, and begin to wrap around the distorted flesh and blood that has begun to gradually shape, and a perfect curve can be seen.

"I'm going to die."

Until the end, a very calm and indifferent voice came, even with a hint of relief and relief: "This stage seems to be called the death of the newborn? The current me will die, and then I will be born from the 'me' Create an extremely selfish extreme creature... Ah, it really doesn't work, the only thing that I can't accept is selfishness, why can't its core idea be to become stronger, for the sake of love, for the sake of beauty and harmony?"

"No, hold on for a while!"

Up to now, Kreller didn't even have the extra heart to be shocked or sad. He just gritted his teeth and hurried to the control panel of the cultivation chamber, and forcefully input the control code to increase the concentration of the extraordinary blocking agent: "There is definitely hope —Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"

"Kill me, the password is '-0302? 0101? 1001? 0304? 0502? 0105? 0501? 0902? 0501? 0301? 0102-'."

Elma's tone was very calm, and she seemed to have thought about what she would do when she died: "This is prepared by myself. If something abnormal happens to me, I will immediately destroy all the codes. Even if I become a limit creature, I can Kill it immediately, after all, this is an annihilation circle that I invited a general to strengthen."

"Kreiler, even if you don't press it, it will start automatically later, but I want to die by your hands. As an Amos, please grant my wish."

"No!"

The angry hammer was on the console, and Kreiler opened his eyes wide. His eyes were bloodshot from the exhaustion of looking after him overnight. He turned his head and yelled at Elma: "To the Marshal—Joshua Van Radcliffe, pray to the name!"

"As long as you pray to the Marshal, a miracle will definitely happen! I don't understand, why are you unwilling?!"

"No." Only in this refusal, Elma's voice became indifferent, but one could hear the shame hidden behind that tone: "Absolutely not."

"The Amos are the enemies of Mrs. McCrom—in that war, many of you died, and many of us also died. It can even be said that your body was killed in that battle. ruined."

"The death of Amos is a good thing for Mrs. Microroe—for you. As you said before, you only care about me, not Amos...but I saved There are so many enemies of Mrs. Micro, your marshal, that lord, he may have a big heart, and he agreed to your prayer, but I was the first to betray the contract and use Madam Micro's technology to save Amos the vile of man...

Thanks to that lord, I survived the battle of extreme creatures, won the victory, gained glory, and then had the opportunity to save many Amos, but I couldn't repay it, and even made a deed to Mrs. Micro The bad thing, I can't stand being so selfish, so I'd rather die than live with shame. "

Facing Kreil who didn't know what to say and could only beat the crystal in the cultivation bin, Elma's tone became gentle again: "Also, don't make my death a tragedy without authorization."

"If I can realize the meaning of my life, I will be very happy. This is my true desire, my true desire. The meaning of 'Erma's birth' has been found and even realized. I created the future for my race, allowing them to go further, so even if I die now, I will have no regrets."

"Compared to these, 'self' and 'life' are insignificant things. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the meaning of myself to prove my love for the Amos. I am ashamed of Mrs. Micro. This sacrifice will make you sad, and I would never agree to it."

"After all, I am a selfish guy, a selfish Amosian. My sacrifice is just to comfort my own life."

"Damn it, Erma! Do you think you're the only one who is selfish?!"

It was really unbearable, Kleil stretched out his hand and pressed it on the golden belt around his waist, he said loudly: "You want to sacrifice? I don't want to! Selfish lives are fighting for each other - this time, I just want to take your life back from your hands!"

"Load the extraordinary plug-in Shadow Gold!"

【Loading complete—Are you ready? 】

"Wait, Kreiler, what are you doing?!" At this moment, Elma's voice seemed a little flustered, she never expected that the other party would actually make such a move: "You..."

But at this time, Kreiler didn't have time to listen to the other party's words, and he responded loudly: "Put on armor!"

The deep shadow lightning was confused, and then shrunk again, turning into a set of armor with dark gold marks, covering Kreiler's body.

[The special installation version of Qiao's system is launched...Link to the crisis management system, and start modular processing...Supernatural Armor·Golden Flame is fully activated]

[Latent, surprise attack, cutting grass and roots, we are all flames in the shadows! 】

"Activate, 'Shadow Desolation'! Use the black body space to swallow the entire training chamber!" Waiting for the power to penetrate his whole body, for some reason, Kreil felt that the power of this armor was inexplicably much higher than before, but This is a good thing, so he didn't think much about it: "Turn off the damage means, I will completely suspend all energy activities in it, and ensure the life state in the blackbody space is stable!"

——A long time ago, I was a guy whose life was unhappy, life was meaningless, and life was better than death.

——However, ever since I met the Marshal, since I became a captain, and since I met you, Erma, I have understood that my whole life is for all of these.

——For my own happiness and my own meaning, I can give anything. As you said, compared with all these, life is nothing but trivial things.

[Reminder: The energy level of the devoured target is too high. This operation will cause a huge load on the loader of the crisis management system, which may lead to death. Do you want to proceed? 】

"yes!"

Kreller didn't hesitate.

Thus, the flickering shadow space engulfed the shocked Erma and the entire training chamber.

And outside the settlements.

Two huge wills are confronting each other in the void.

"Do you want to prevent me from recovering our Mrs. Micro's people and his spoils?"

The silver-white will of the world is like the deepest and coldest steel, hard, stubborn, indestructible, and unshakable. His sight swept across this void, calming the storm of time and space: "Amos, the previous me, maybe you I can still stop it, but now I, you can't."

"Don't exaggerate, Joshua, I can see that you have been injured a lot."

Like a galaxy, the spiraling will sneered: "Ten years later, you still have a little persuasiveness when you say this, but you are really not good now."

"Is your body in the abyss, eroding towards the maelstrom of creation? It is indeed a good road. If you succeed, you can completely control the lifeblood of the entire galaxy in the world. The Thakurs are indeed inferior in terms of individual strength. you"

The silver-white will of the world regards the opponent's rebuttal as nothing: "But I can, you are far from successful, far from reaching the boundary of the near saint, but I have already touched it, so, Amos, get out of the way. "

"She is from Amos and mine."

The spiral galaxy didn't give in at all, he shook the void, causing the light of the magic tide to scatter: Moreover, it's really interesting that such an individual can appear among the Amos—is it a self-sacrifice? Is there such a possibility? It's really hard to imagine, I can't give her to you. "

"It may be hard to imagine just life and beasts, but we are different, we are civilized individuals, so there is always something more important and noble than life, and it is precisely because of the incomparable preciousness of life that sacrifice is meaningful .”

The silver-white will of the world gradually revealed a hint of eagerness, but he still warned: "Do you want to fight, Amos? I really don't want to kill a strong man like you before the tide of evil gods comes."
