Overturned Tower

"How...arrogant, elves."

Tokifat patted the cheek of the golden statue and sighed with satisfaction:

"I've wanted to see this expression on your face for a long time... panicked and unexpected.

"After all, you are just mortals, right? As early as a thousand years ago, before the destruction of the old world, you were not so noble, were you?

"It would be better to say that compared to us who have been carefully selected and cultivated...you are the ones closer to the 'mundane things', right, old guys?"

He said lightly.

The silver-haired boy who always closed his eyes slightly and had a Buddha-like divinity on his body could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

He showed an irrepressible, happy and gentle smile that would be creepy to look at.

Tokifat did not leave directly.

Instead, he took out a dark red halo, and then slowly raised his mechanical tentacles.

The tentacle rotated like an electric drill and drove directly into the left eye of the golden statue until it reached the depth that should be the retina. A large amount of golden powder was scattered in all directions and scattered in the air - the cruel scene that should have been bloody and bloody now seemed to be creating a work of art.

The three holes are the right side of the back of the head. Just like wiring a computer, he attached one end of a special magnetic pipe to the halo, and the other end directly penetrated into the deepest part of the hole.

"I know you are still conscious, Ms. Zefar."

Tokifat's expression was focused, his movements were graceful, and his tone was gentle.

Zefar, of course, couldn't respond. But Tokifat didn't care.

He whispered: "Do you know what I'm doing?

"I think you should know the 'Monkey Faced Eagle' program. I used its son to send it to Tongshen Island.

"Unlike the Happy Island where surveillance is everywhere, the residents of Tongshen Island are isolated from each other and refuse to understand each other. Their hearts are frozen by the indifferent society, and they are trapped in a cage made of steel forests and live in an infinite world day after day. In the cyclical daily life, even desires gradually wither. No one cares about how people other than themselves live and what misfortunes they encounter.

"People are hungry for 'fun', hungry for big news, eager to destroy this boring life, even at the risk of self-destruction. It's like the people of Happy Island are looking forward to the fall of heroes in a dark and twisted way - they also have this kind of self-consciousness. Kill desires.

"If the elves leave it alone, the 'monkey-faced eagle' is destined to spread throughout the sky island. This is the stage I have prepared for the monkey-faced eagle."

He showed a pure smile: "Chairman Sai Lun, at that time you thought I was trying to recreate the 'Second Mother Tree'... This is of course reasonable. I was devastated by this mutilated body and tortured by the fear of 'fake'. It is completely reasonable to logically deduce the desire for eternal life like real elves and the healthy body they deserve.

"——But I'm not a ruthless guy like you."

Tokifat replied softly: "I don't want that kind of eternal life.

“I just want to die with you.

"Although the original model of 'Monkey Faced Eagle' was later killed, my hard work was not in vain... The Pope's 'Ascension-12' inherited this technology and iteratively developed a new version. This virus will Destroy your ability to occupy other people's bodies unscrupulously...and after it is transferred to the mother tree system along with your memory, the entire mother tree system will be destroyed.

"Unfortunately, our Lord Pope is also an ambitious man with a cold heart. But these things have nothing to do with me.

"Human beings have mediocre talents and short lifespans. It is enough for them to be able to do one thing that is beyond the reach of ordinary people in their lifetime.

"The survival of the world, the future of humanity, the ambition of the Pope. Those are all great topics - and my assessment is: But is that none of my business?"

"—So, Tokifat."

At this moment, a gentle and deep female voice suddenly came from the room: "Is this why you betrayed them?"

"You are...Ms. Kubler, right?"

Tokifat easily guessed the identity of the other party.

There is really no way there are any living people here, and ordinary psychic hackers cannot enter such a deep intranet. Only the master of the Happy Island network, the dragon known as Kubler, would say these words to himself here and from this position.

"it's me."

Her voice sounded again: "Come here, let's talk... Don't worry, I can't run away.

"I'm just curious and want to know what you want to do."

"What an artificial intelligence-flavored answer..."

The silver-haired boy sneered.

But he had no hostility toward the dragon, and instead walked in obediently.

In the room guarded behind the golden statue, a huge screen wall suddenly lit up.

It was a beautiful woman with green snake eyes. She has long dark brown curly hair, which is a little wet. She wears a princess crown on her head and a white lace dress that looks like pajamas. Her facial features are deep and three-dimensional, with some snake scales visible on her temples, and her expression shows a melancholy look.

"...It turns out that the dragon looks like this."

Tokifat looked at Kubler's image carefully: "It doesn't seem to be any different from us. It is completely different from the long ears of the elves."

"Because your current image is shaped after us. From this point of view, the new generation of humans are closer to us in terms of memetic kinship."

Kubler answered patiently.

"Where is your true body?"

Tokifat didn't care, but asked directly in Elvish: "As Tokifat, I should be able to ask, right?"

"It has nothing to do with you being a name-bearing elf. Even if you have not accepted the elf ritual and are just the most ordinary human... As long as you are an adult, you can ask me questions at any time. And when you use command language, I will give priority Fulfill your immediate request.”

Kubler said, directing Tokifat to move forward: "You come closer. Then look to the left from here..."

As all the lights were turned on in rows, Tokifat suddenly opened his eyes wide.

That's not an exposed pipe or chip——

Instead, it is a huge structure that is more than a hundred meters high.

At the top is a sacred humanoid figure that looks like a "heavily equipped mech". It seems to be only about two or three meters high, with its body suspended high in the sky by countless golden vines, like the suffering Son of God.

Below, countless golden metal vines are connected and combined to form ten nodes.

Dark golden crystals were embedded inside, forming a huge crystal that looked like a mountain or a temple. Countless rays of light are constantly flowing in it, forming a mysterious and grand catalog.

At the bottom is a huge throne. It looks so small in front of the huge dark golden crystal mountain range...

It's only about five meters high, and the seats are about a meter above the ground. Just enough for the sacred figure hanging above to sit on.

"This is my heart."

Kübler's voice came from afar: "This is the most important part of me."

"...are all of these?"

Tokifat felt the shock.

Admired, moved, and disappointed. Just like the admiration that every mortal feels when seeing a wonder.

"Actually, the most important parts are the uppermost sanity core and the host base below. This huge 'Crystal Mountain' is actually an accessory device expanded by my host. It manages the entire Happy Island, together with the lower High-performance mainframe for urban automatic factories.”

Kubler's voice came from the mecha suspended in the sky: "If you want to do something, just import the data directly into the base. My mental core must be separated from the base. state, otherwise the energy and computing power will be replenished to myself first. In this state, I cannot interfere with you in any way.

"Now, I've shown my sincerity. I want you to tell me what exactly you want to do."

"...You are really serious. You said everything you can and cannot say."

Tokifat sighed, sighing for Kübler’s honesty and kindness: “Then I have nothing to hide.

"You said why I betrayed - this statement is inaccurate. Because I have never betrayed.

"I have been on the church's side from the very beginning."

The boy also had the name of Tokifat, but he gave the completely opposite answer to the deer-headed statue.

"Of course I know Lilian... I liked her very much when we were both in the 'base'. Therefore, after I learned that she would eventually become Tokifat and knew the fate of us 'failures' At that time, although I had some regrets, I didn’t struggle much.

"——We will be frozen and become 'alternatives'. If we are not used until the end, then we will be destroyed in our sleep. No bones will remain.

"She is better than me... She is so gentle and so determined. If she can become a 'big lord'... that is, the elf director at that time, she will definitely bring happiness to the world.

"But...her inheritance was interrupted by the angels.

"When I woke up, her body was blown to pieces without any damage to the bones. The ceremony naturally failed. And the researchers who sent us into the ice-sealed container were also killed by air strikes, including myself. Became disabled. And all my other 'brothers and sisters' died.

"I relied on my last strength to drag myself into the only inheritance instrument that was still functioning. Only then did I finally know...the inheritance was a complete lie from beginning to end.

"The great lords never intended to pass on the fire. They just wanted to turn us into fuel. I was lucky because Lilian completed the first half of the inheritance... My consciousness was not completely taken over by 'Torgifat' Let’s go. And with the little personality I have left, I can only do one thing firmly.”

Tokifat raised his head and stared at Kubler's true form, which was like the suffering Son of God.

He said calmly: "If you could only do one thing in your life, what would you choose?

"Become an elf. Explore the truth. Revenge against the angels. Or find a mage to settle accounts. Resurrect Lilian. Or find a lover and enjoy your own privileged life... There are so many things I can do.

"But for me, that kind of life is too crowded. My little heart cannot accommodate such a broad future.

"If I could only do one thing...

"——Then I choose to take revenge on the 'Mother Tree System'."

Today’s update contains more than 3,000 words.

I'm almost done with the book. I have to write with all my strength and concentration. The speed is much slower than normal coding. It took me four hours to finish one chapter after I started writing today...

Someone asked me how many words are left in this volume...it's hard to say how many words are left, but there are fourteen chapters left. In the outline of Cat, the last volume has the same number of chapters as the first volume, or one more chapter, so it should be chapter fifty-seven or fifty-eight. This is the obsessive-compulsive disorder of cats!

If there are enough words in the end, I will write one chapter of two thousand words. If the number of words is not enough, I will write one chapter of four to five thousand words, five to six thousand words, or even ten thousand words. That is to say, although the number of chapters is fixed, the number of words is very flexible, so don’t worry (akimbo)
