Chapter 313 Melting into the Light
[The core area is out of control, please go and suppress it immediately! ]
The map on the screen lit up in red, and the closer to the center, the denser the red.
The staff continued to work under immense psychological pressure, meticulously manually inserting the strange artifact parts to gradually explore the changes in the core area.
What is puzzling and disturbing is that Guanghui did not unilaterally cut off the connection between the two parties. Instead, it continued to transmit the images around Zero to the monitoring center.
If we take into account that "Guanghui did not betray", the apostles may have temporarily gone to another dimension under Guanghui's urgent instructions to fight against unknown enemies.
Different guesses flashed in the middle of the screen.
The highest priority imaginary enemy is naturally Despair, but someone also posted the unusual movements of Bishop Miro on the screen, indicating that the insiders are not completely trustworthy, and there may be other people who have been parasitized by the anomaly.
The gray-haired expert quickly tapped the keyboard [regardless of whether she was controlled by despair or a third party,]
“!”
Halfway through typing, she suddenly stood up while pressing the keyboard.
The center of the screen—no, not just the picture on the screen!
The leader of the observation team pressed the orange button, and the curtain of the "Window of Vision" on the wall was pulled open heavily. Ripples appeared on the transparent glass surface, projecting the images perceived by countless probes on the surface to the surroundings.
Gold, red, and holy white complement each other on the surface of the window.
They are rich in color and extremely bright, but they somehow do not hurt the eyes, they just make the brain create the concept of witnessing the corresponding color.
We are now at the very center of the ritual formation? Hmm... everyone and all the important materials are actually at the center of the ritual formation!
Several divine eyes meticulously pieced together tens of millions of images taken from different angles to form a clear panoramic model.
Show them what the multi-power ritual truly looks like in the most intuitive way that humans can understand.
The main core of the multi-power ritual is three similar ritual arrays.
These three sets of formations stand upright in space like layered thermoses, and their corresponding positions can be roughly understood as the division of the abyss, the surface, and the universe.
The energy swept into the meteor shower gave birth to a series of real substances: roads, buildings, forests... They all occupied a certain space on the plane of the surface, and even included the anomalies and humans that were actually active in the corresponding locations.
But all objects on this horizontal axis - both living and non-living things - synchronously generate corresponding projections on the vertical axis of the ritual array.
So the overall structure looks like a giant cross made up of two transparent hollow tubes when viewed from a distance!
An expert excitedly tapped the screen with a pen.
"This way, all participants can be considered to be staying in the core area of the ceremony—"
The newborn snake and the light are at the bottom, Chen Xiao'er and the apostles are in the middle, and extraterrestrial objects such as meteorites are at the top. Individuals in each part can call upon the energy of another area.
At this point, his smile suddenly froze: Oh no, that means...
His colleague took over and typed a line of text on the screen.
[The Desperate Remnant can be anywhere, and can absorb power and attack from all angles.]
The despair here does not only refer to despair, but also includes the unknown enemy they just worried about.
The cross-shaped multi-power ritual means that the struggle can take place anywhere.
And when the god is truly born, this set of extended chain spaces will probably quickly collapse into a solidified small ball, which will be completely controlled by the real god!
......
"Your choice is truly amazing." The devil fell in space, and golden-red souls pounced on her, wrapping her body layer by layer.
"I'm using your body now, and you were supposed to be mine."
It's no surprise that Guanghui would play tricks behind his back. Even the humans holding the chain behind him probably couldn't predict where this artificial life form would go.
It was still Miroku who made her curious.
No matter whether the devil calls out "I" or "you", it is actually "I".
The moment Milo is willing to let her take over his body, the traces left behind will be tightly fastened together, and they will no longer be distinguishable.
Regardless of Miroku's attitude, the option of betrayal will no longer exist.
The deal with the devil was irreversible from the beginning.
No matter how human-like the reincarnated devil is, when she regains her former power and memories, those few decades will be nothing but a dream.
Therefore, the only possibility for Miroku's "betrayal" is——
The glory convinced me.
"How did he convince me, Milo?" The devil asked curiously while testing the loopholes that had been left behind.
“Rather than persuasion, I prefer to think it was curiosity.”
Miroku's tone was cold, but the emotions saturated in it were no different from those of the devil.
Her original body quickly dissipated in the embrace of the golden-red glow, and even the foam was swallowed up by the surging soul.
Invisible arms wrapped around the devil's "body" made of pure light, carrying it into destruction.
"I can completely understand your plan. It's a world of uncertainty and certainty."
The uncertainty lies in doting.
The devil is not bound by any morality, and the love it harbors is fundamentally different from human "love."
Am I really not human?
Perhaps your former power was more perfect than you imagined, and your current plans are destined to be imperfect.
Milo said coldly in the devil's ear, "Your idea is to devour the Light, using its power of rules and your so-called power of love and desire to build a virtual new world for humanity."
"Why do you say that?" The devil smiled to himself as he wove a shell to defend himself from attack. "That will be a real world built with vast amounts of energy. Don't worry, in that world, Chen Xiao'er will live very well too."
I love her, don't you? We could have many, many, many perfect times together.
"Love? Your love means you consider her an important chess piece."
"Well, isn't that what Guanghui is?"
The smile in the devil's eyes slowly disappeared, and her voice echoed in the space.
"The only difference between my plan and the Guanghui plan is an additional monitoring program. I will monitor Guanghui. Do you want Guanghui to directly use Chen Xiao'er? He is just an out-of-control artificial intelligence. Do you prefer a world of complete disorder and no bottom line?"
"No, she agreed to build the world without any additional restrictions."
Oh, what a naive play on words.
Do you want to discuss with the machine what counts as “extra”?
The devil lost her human body, but she still frowned, as if she couldn't imagine how stupid she could be.
If we do not use the power of rules to limit human activity areas and specific behaviors, it will be difficult to isolate humans from surging energy and anomalies.
If the Light truly fulfills this promise, it would mean that it would only create an oasis for humanity, while allowing humanity to crawl all over the ground and eventually be swallowed and assimilated by the excess energy.
Huh~
The devil passed a series of emotions to himself, and then sighed deeply: "Believe me, Miroku. I am different from a cold machine. At least I will not sit idly by and watch humanity go to the end of self-destruction."
"Look, there's no place for Chen Xiao'er in your blueprint. You only want to exploit her power without giving her any freedom."
"That's because Chen Xiao'er's power is very dangerous. She even..."
The devil's voice abruptly stopped, and a human voice suddenly filled the air: "She can even erase your power. Is your love and desire only this extent?"
Doting is silent.
It's not that she had nothing to say, but she felt that the human being holding her was even crazier than the devil.
Spoiling someone can abandon the body of a devil, completely transform into a human being over hundreds of years, seal their memories and start all over again.
Miroku is not only willing to abandon his human body, but is also willing to completely give up the power he is about to obtain.
【"Hahaha."】
Humans laughed heartily in the devil's light. ["Are you curious? How can I be sure that the Light will fulfill its promise? After all, even machines can deceive humans."]
"Yes, I'm curious." Doting responded sincerely, and her curiosity was soon answered.
Because their shadows penetrated the bottom of the soul pool and continued to fall towards the core of the light.
That was also the devil's original destination.
Because only by reaching that position can one truly become one with the light and take possession of all of it.
The conditions for achieving this goal are very strict and at least two points must be met.
First, there was a designated backdoor before Glory was created.
Second, possess a powerful light energy body that is unique to abyssal creatures.
Miroku is helping me reach the other side. Is this also part of my original plan? She pretended to cooperate with Guanghui to obtain authority, and ultimately achieve my goal of fusion.
"Well, that depends on who can give me a better answer. You've already answered it."
Snap, snap, snap.
The sound of eggshells cracking could be heard all around, like the birth of newborn chicks.
The strong light penetrated the last line of defense.
The golden light burned quietly in the space. He did not build any additional defense mechanisms, but instead actively embraced the fallen soul.
......
Wow, wow, wow.
Milo felt like she was rising from the deep sea. Her forehead, eyes, and even shoulders gradually emerged from the water, and she slowly opened her eyes in the warm light.
The golden sun was still burning quietly, and the sky around it was dyed with brilliant golden red. There was a transparent hole at the upper and lower ends of the sun, as if it was a skylight reserved for the reflection of the moon.
"God."
The lens shattered in her sight, and Miroku raised his hand towards Guanghui, touching the ceiling and asked the question that he had always wanted to know.
"Do you love humans?"
"Love." The voice echoing in the space seemed to come from a gentle girl who looked exactly like Chen Xiao'er.
"How much do you love me?" The devil's features gradually peeled off, and Milo's fingers were entangled with the silk threads left over from hundreds of years ago, slowly merging with the light.
Her questioning was not loud, but she dug deep into every action and left room for attack.
"My love is like a baby not yet full month old, a lover in his early twilight years, and a mother in her womb."
What an amazing love.
A budding lover...the church alone won't teach you such feelings.
The human soul, about to merge into the light, uttered its last question.
"What if the world and Chen Xiao'er were placed on two ends of a scale?" What choice would you make?
When a drop of water merges into the sea, the entire ocean responds to her last question in the waves.
"I love humanity deeply, just as I... love Little Love deeply."
