Chapter 232: Pandora the Immortal

I sat down on Pandora's little bed, which was obviously meant for children, and looked at the serious and rigid furnishings around me. I was really speechless for this stubborn little loli, although under my long-term influence, Pandora's current words and deeds have changed. She is becoming more and more like a normal little girl, but in some aspects, especially her living habits, it is really not that difficult to change. This bedroom that can be used as a temporary combat center is the most obvious one. Example - If I hadn't told you, would any of you have imagined that this place would be a little girl's bedroom?

But it’s not entirely true to say that there was no progress at all. My eyes slowly swept across the room, and I unexpectedly found a small and cute little box on the bedside table of the small bed. Inside, five or six colorful lollipops were showing off. Make yourself unique in this room.

I immediately looked away.

Unexpectedly, after the Allied Forces of My Hugable Bear Doll and Fairy Tale Book were wiped out, it turned out to be an inconspicuous army like Lollipop that firmly held their position. Sure enough, there were only Are lollipops an invincible magic weapon that can defeat loli creatures? !

I just don’t know what the lower-level commanders’ expressions would be like when they came to Pandora’s room to report the emergency and happened to see their general standing next to the combat map licking a lollipop...

Noticing that my eyes were focused on her sugar bowl, Pandora, who was sitting next to me waiting for me to speak, immediately had an imperceptible blush on her face. Then the little girl stood up at lightning speed and asked for Eliminate the culprit who has affected the image of his own imperial general.

Of course I knew what Pandora wanted to do, so I immediately grabbed the latter's collar and held the little girl on my lap. My expression was extremely serious and tragic: "Pandora, let these warriors who stick to this terrible place stand. Take care of your last duty! Their partners have sacrificed enough..."

For the sake of the cuddly bears, dolls, fairy tale book martyrs, and lollipop warriors who were thrown away by the owner of the house, you must stick to your posts in Pandora's cabin!

My words made Pandora look dull for a moment. She blinked her eyes and didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to standing guard.

"Standing guard...Sicaro's soldiers must be at their posts..."

The little one cannot understand at all how I treat cultivating her normal loli personality as an eternal battle.

"Okay, let's get down to business now," I thanked these lollipops in my mind, which were the only ones that could arouse Pandora's interest, and then patted Pandora's little head with a serious expression, "Pandora, do you have a sister? "

"No."

Pandora replied in her usual short way, her expression still the same doll face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Except for the movement of her lips, the whole face was like a fixed sculpture.

"No sisters?" I thought for a while, and then said it differently, "Then...are there any Xiling apostles who look exactly like you and know you? If so, how many such people are there? ?”

I thought of what Viska said. She kept emphasizing that there are "many, many" Pandoras, even tens of millions of Pandoras, so I added the last sentence.

This time, Pandora's expression finally changed. She was stunned for a moment, then showed a slightly thinking expression, and then...

I'm not sure what the expression is. Maybe it's surprise, maybe confusion, maybe enlightenment, but... it could also be a trace of sadness and worry.

I couldn't believe that such an expression would appear on Pandora's face, so when I saw such an expression on the always cold little face in front of me, my first reaction was that I was hallucinating.

She must know something.

This was my first reaction. Pandora's expression said everything, and she showed such a complicated expression, which showed that she not only knew that there was such a Xiling apostle who looked exactly like her, but also had a deep intersection with him. .

"Pandora, what do you know?"

Pandora raised her head and looked into my eyes, with a rare expression of struggle on her face. Then she lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time.

I can see that she is very conflicted now, but the appearance of black Pandora is really of great importance. Although I feel sorry for Pandora, I have to ask.

I suddenly felt that my hand was tightly grasped by a small hand, and then Pandora's calm voice sounded in my ears: "Brother, they are... my body..."

"Husk!?" I exclaimed, suddenly recalling that Viska seemed to have mentioned this word at that time.

Pandora nodded silently and continued: "That was part of a huge plan of the Xiling Empire millions of years ago. Most of the information about that plan has been lost, but the remaining information is still stored in the memory core of all Xiling apostles. Among them, including the 'Immortal Project', which is the source of my bodies..."

"The Immortal..." I repeated this grand title in a low voice. Thinking of the "body" mentioned by Pandora and Viska at that time, I already had a vague guess in my mind.

What Pandora said next confirmed my suspicion.

"The Immortal Project is researching endless rebirth technology. This was an experimental technology carried out by the empire at that time in order to ensure the survival of top apostles as much as possible," Pandora told in a calm and unwavering tone, as if that They are all completely irrelevant to me. "The Xiling Apostles are a war race specifically designed to eliminate the Abyss. Although we don't know when we obtained this mission, since the establishment of the Empire Information Center, we have to eliminate the Abyss." It is listed as the highest action order of all apostles. Almost every Xiling apostle is a warrior, and all of them must be engaged in the endless war with the abyss, and this will inevitably bring huge casualties. Low-level war puppets are Disposable consumables, they have no thoughts and intelligence, and can be mass-produced from the arsenal at any time, so we will not care no matter how many are killed, but the intermediate and high-level Xiling Apostles are quite precious, especially their combat power can be compared with The high-level apostles that the true gods fight against, their combat experience and war wisdom are definitely not something that can be mass-produced or copied. Their strong individual strength is destined to make it impossible for such apostles to be produced through the production line, so every high-level apostle Death in battle is a huge loss to the empire. In order to reduce this loss and preserve precious high-level apostles as much as possible, we launched the Immortal Project."

As if she had completely put aside her hesitation, Pandora, who was always taciturn, no longer hesitated with her words at this moment, and told me the entire plan, and I was completely shocked by this amazing plan.

Immortal does not mean to create a kind of apostle that is so powerful that it is completely invulnerable, but to give those selected apostles the ability to be infinitely reborn. In short, it means to prepare countless bodies for high-level apostles. And keep them in various safe places. Although the bodies of high-level apostles are extremely powerful and mass production is almost impossible, compared with their precious souls, it is still much easier to create some bodies, and These bodies do not have to be as powerful as the original products. As long as these high-level apostles can be resurrected, they can naturally regain their power in a short period of time, just like the soul of a magic god in the novel. It's like being reborn in an inconspicuous body, with the memories and experiences of life, and the improvement of strength is completely possible through cheating.

Pandora was a participant in this plan at that time. Although Pandora was not an imperial general at that time, she still relied on her amazing talent and outstanding achievements to get the opportunity to become an "Immortal". Her body accepted it. Copying, thousands of soulless "Pandoras" in a standby state are stored in a Death Star core that is used as a test site. These empty bodies are equipped with signal transmission devices that can receive transmission across planes. , as long as the body Pandora is using is killed, her entire soul, including memory, personality, and emotions, will be uploaded immediately, and then injected into a sleeping body through the scheduling system, thus completing a complete resurrection. .

However, this technology is still in the experimental stage, and it has many imperfections. Pandora said a lot, but everyone must have guessed it, and I didn’t understand any of it... In short, in the end, the plan was forced to stop. Because the scientific researchers of the Xiling Empire have found a more mature and reliable method of soul preservation, they do not have to spend a huge price to create a large number of spare bodies. As long as a small soul crystal is needed, the soul can be properly preserved. However, in order not to A waste of resources, Pandora did not destroy her spare body, but set it up to wait indefinitely, which could be regarded as a backup plan for emergencies.

There is no doubt that the black Pandora, the little girl I named Viska, is one of these thousands of stand-in puppets.
