Chapter 2321 The cruel past!
The Colossus and Silver Fantasy all felt the murderous intent and coldness emanating from him.
They know.
Family members have always been Lin En's Achilles' heel, not to mention Sir Egwene, the brother he has trusted and relied on the most since he joined the Night City. He is even more important to him. If he really finds out that someone is behind this...
In the void, there was silence.
for a long time.
The figure slowly turned his head and looked at the hysterical Lord Egwene in the eye of the storm, and said softly:
"He just recovered some ancient memories that he had lost long ago from my power. He couldn't accept the blow brought to him by those truths, and couldn't accept the heinous crimes committed against his own civilization. That's all."
Lin En frowned suddenly and said:
"What's the meaning?!"
The figure faced him, she seemed to be smiling, and her voice was vague and overlapping:
"It's very simple, because his psychic ascension is different from the ascension of the Colossus. The Colossus civilization is based on the collective will of the entire civilization. It voluntarily sacrificed its own flesh and blood to finally achieve integration and unity. But the ascension of the Cyber civilization is far from as beautiful as you have heard."
She said every word.
"His predecessor killed his entire civilization and forcibly combined the powers of all psychics, which gave rise to the final Cyber Ascendant."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire void fell into dead silence.
The colossus' pupils dilated instantly, and even his five fingers clenched subconsciously. His face turned pale instantly, and his brain went blank.
Silver Fantasy wasn't in a much better condition either, with great shock showing in his eyes.
The figure looked at him and said softly:
"That's why I say that sometimes forgetting is both a good medicine and a poison. If he had remembered all this from the beginning to the end, then nothing would have happened. The bad thing is that the great fall three thousand years ago caused him to lose too many memories of the past, and also made him forget... what kind of person he really was."
Lin En stared at her fiercely and said:
"Stop talking nonsense here! Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, even if it is true, it has nothing to do with Brother Aiwen!"
Because he knows.
In fact, Sir Egwene is not the former Cyber Ascendant. That Ascendant is dead. Sir Egwene is just an AI who inherited that power. Even if it is true as she said that such a massacre happened in the past of cyber civilization, it cannot be blamed on Sir Egwene.
The figure looked at Lin En and smiled:
"Do you really think there is no connection? Do you really believe that this Lord Egwene you mentioned and the former Cyber Ascendant are two independent people?"
Lynn's pupils contracted instantly.
She opened her mouth slowly and said:
"That's just what he forgot. In fact, they were the same person from the beginning to the end, the same... AI? It was the Great Fall that destroyed his personality system, causing a serious data gap and making him forget his past history. But perhaps even he didn't expect that after the fall, not only did he not encounter any tragic experiences, but he was protected and taken in by the angel..."
She looked at Lynn, as if she was smiling.
"Destiny is such a joke sometimes. A ruthless executioner who slaughtered his entire civilization with his own hands, under the inspiration of civilization, slowly became a saint who took it as his duty to protect all living things."
"This is really a huge joke."
Before Lin En could say anything, the giant statue had already taken a step forward, staring at her with cold eyes and said:
"Stop lying! The Cyber Ascendant and I were friends before the Great Fall, and all the gods have good relations with him. I know exactly what kind of person he is!"
The figure looked at the colossus and said with a smile:
"That's just what he wanted you to see."
She paced lightly in the void, as if she was telling an interesting story from the past.
"A blasphemous AI that massacred his entire civilization, a psychic ascender, he knows his situation very well. He wants to grow stronger in this universe, but without absolute power, wanton massacres will only bring him endless hatred. The reason why he maintains a good relationship with you is only because the threat posed by the God of All Machines has reached a point where he has to deal with it with all his strength."
"At that time, the God of All Machines was not only hostile to flesh and blood life. He also prioritized the absorption and slaughter of the mechanical race and intelligent AI."
"You should know this better than anyone else."
She smiled faintly and looked at the hostile Silver Fantasy in the distance.
Because it is very simple.
Because in the main universe, flesh and blood life is still the mainstream, and wantonly slaughtering flesh and blood creatures will inevitably lead to more hatred from the gods. However, the situation is different for the annexation between mechanical races.
This is also the reason why the mechanical race in the main universe has disappeared on a large scale today. Unfortunately, at that time, the Cyber Ascendants had also been targeted.
The Colossus stared at her intently, his fists clenched.
The figure said slowly:
"Of course, his dealings with a large number of Gods are not just to attract more allies to ensure his survival. To put it more broadly, he has actually been studying the souls of every God in this way and going straight into his own backdoor. He has been preparing in secret, preparing for the day when he will be able to set off this gluttonous feast and achieve a larger scale of spiritual energy advancement in the Great Devouring."
She laughed.
"However, plans can never keep up with changes. Before he had time to grow up, the catastrophe broke out."
There was a deathly silence in the void.
Only in the eye of the storm behind her, Ser Egwene was kneeling there, clutching her head tightly, with turbulent psychic energy constantly running rampant throughout her body.
And it was in this silence that Lynn came out.
He held the trident tightly and said quietly:
"so what?"
"Oh?" the figure laughed.
Lynn looked at the turbulent Sir Egwene behind her and said:
"The brother Egwene I know is the one who has been protecting me since I set foot in Night City. He is the one who has been doing his best to heal all kinds of sufferings from beginning to end."
"It's true that his memory has been missing, but he has always been my role model. During the turmoil in Night City, he used his psychic power to save countless people. When the ether forced me to do nothing, he was the first person to break through the corridor and rush to rescue me. I remember everything we went through, and that's enough."
The trident in his hand crackled and exploded with countless flashes of lightning.
His eyes were fixed on the figure.
"If that's all you want to tell me, then you can get out of the way. I will help Brother recover. If Brother Aiwen can't accept the so-called past, then I will cut off that past."
"That's all."
