Chapter 425 The End

The most primitive hand-to-hand combat.

The limbs of both parties began to fall off quickly in this moment of contact.

Only the flesh-and-blood structure transformed by the clock will happen when it hits the flesh-and-blood structure transformed by the wonder machine. It stretches its open joints and falls heavily.

At the moment of the hit, the flesh and steel of both sides disintegrated in a collision that could not be observed by ordinary people.

The intelligence and control that maintains the essence of the flesh-and-blood structure collapse at the moment of contact, and the energy neutralization and hedging between the two parties collapses.

Turning his own intelligence into a weapon that simultaneously dismantles the enemy's intelligence, Ji Lin looked at the lethality that told him in the feedback from the source of matter that it did not belong to this era at all.

Ignore all defenses and directly kill the target's intelligence and destroy their sanity.

Quality war.

Both parties abandoned all technology and skills and exchanged quality in the purest mechanical mode.

Your quality, my quality.

Your intelligence, my intelligence.

Come and fight.

The arc-carrying structure stretched out its heavy fist and landed heavily on the miraculous flesh-and-blood structure, bringing up a piece of whirling steel and minced meat that fell to the ground.

The miraculous flesh-and-blood structure fought back, and its twisted limbs fell heavily on the clock like kinetic energy spears, tearing open the outermost dial made of a metal frame.

It is looking for it, and it knows that the opponent is a monster that is driven by its core to stand up. Its existence is completely dependent on the heart of the rune core.

It withdraws its intelligence from those blocks that are about to be hit. It is an intelligent computer. This creature born of chaos has no way to compare with it tactically.

The flesh-and-blood turbine built with wonder has no ability to think, and broken intelligence flows through its body like soldiers wandering without purpose.

It still lacks a king to rule it.

————

Ji Lin walked through the palace and looked at the Renaissance murals hanging on the walls, which praised the beauty of the Roman era.

Rome.

The last empire.

The dream left behind by this land.

They sang the praises of Rome. Rome existed eternally in the poets' singing, but Rome has disappeared in the long river of history.

But even the two-thousand-year-old empire ended its life in 1453 with water stains under the scorching sun.

————

Ji Lin found the queen on the top floor of the palace. The guards still stood by her side, preventing Ji Lin, an outsider, from taking a step forward.

Here you can see two flesh-and-blood turbines roaring in battle in the distance. The battle between them has exceeded human imagination.

"Hello, my... friend from the East, a magician... It's really rare to see you in this day and age."

She smiled and asked the guards to make way for Ji Lin.

"You've come this far, why don't you come and have a cup of tea... Oh, this is the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao from your country...?"

That should be the best tea.

Ji Lin said nothing.

"Our mystic believes that this combination of flesh and machine comes from the soul... When the transformation reaches its extreme, the core of the rune is reversed..."

Victoria's voice was old and firm.

"They say that that level of flesh and blood machine can complete its own transformation in the end, and with enough spirituality, it can give birth to an absolute...perfect...core that can turn people into perfect immortals."

Ji Lin's pupils shrank suddenly.

If there is enough intelligence for her to consume, if there is almost endless intelligence for her to consume.

Her purpose from the beginning was not to use the wonder structure to stabilize her authority. There was absolutely no way to control that thing for a long time.

Instead, it uses wonder structures to create massacres. Enough life and intelligence are gathered in its body. The beast-level flesh and blood structure itself is a melting pot.

In order to smelt the rune core that would make her immortal.

The death of ordinary people is not enough. The quality of their souls is too low. This excessively homogenized world destroys the proper intelligence...

Thousands of casualties, decades of planning.

All the time.

Immortality.

Transforming flesh and blood into, being homogenized is a sign of failure.

It is possible to transform flesh and blood into a fusion of flesh and machine to maintain sanity, but there is still a price to pay for it.

Immortality with defects exists, then immortality without defects and even with extremely low cost will also exist.

On a long enough time scale, people are also a renewable resource.

"You've done a great job...but it's all going to end soon."

Ji Xia took out a piece of sulfur and held it in his hand. The light yellow powder fell to the ground from between his fingers.

"Brimstone...? Mr. Magician, are you going to use the same spells against witches against me?"

Victoria was still sitting at the tea table, quietly looking at the two monsters that were fighting in the distance... no, it could even be said that they were two groups of monsters that were entangled together, but were constantly bombarding each other with their differentiated limbs.

They were born from a kind of technology, and after being entangled together, they can only be divided into friends and foes based on left and right.

"You can't hurt me. All the spells you cast here will be 'neutralized'. In addition to the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the palace, the ancestors... also have many things..."

Something that can make magicians lose their fighting ability.

The transparent shield wall blocked the mortar shells thrown by Ji Lin, and the projectiles detonated in the air were unable to even cause damage to the guards.

Artillery support has been used, magic is ineffective, and bullets are ineffective.

In the distance, the two constructs are about to decide the winner.

Night Crow and the special police are fighting with the transformed soldiers in the square. They are using their lives to prevent these transformed soldiers from carrying explosive packs and boarding the flesh turbine transformed from the computer of the Industrial Institute.

Shadows pass by.

Ji Lin looks at the gradually descending airship, and uses the double-track airbag to support his own rising airbag.

The battle in the distance has come to an end... There is no winner, and there can be no winner.

The battle has contributed to the condensation of the final core, and now she is going to collect her final results.

————

"Can you hear it? Don Quixote? Bell?"

Nicholas' voice came in.

"We control a temporary radio communication machine they built. I think they can use this thing to transmit information, and naturally they can also transmit information to you."

So this is a global broadcast.

I slightly adjusted some internal parts.

"An airship is flying in your direction. Your main task is to destroy it."

They heard it.

But there was no extra intelligence and energy for them to consume.

In this entanglement, the bodies of both sides touched, and the contact was to build an offensive channel.

Countless smaller wars were taking place in those channels, far more cruel and faster than all the wars that had happened before.

Soon...Hold on a little longer, Zhong had sensed that everything about the enemy had fallen into a dormant stagnation.

Its intelligence exceeded the limit of control, and the broken steel and flesh were disintegrating...Shrinking?

It actually began to shrink at this time?

But he could no longer reverse it. Either he would live forever as a machine, or think as a human.

He didn't want to be a creature between the two.

It was obviously unrealistic to shoot it down. He didn't even have the extra ability to condense an offensive flesh appendage.

He felt all the intelligence and energy of the other party gathered together, and the layered armor and flesh opened, revealing the rune core shining with white light.

From the airship, the humanoid guards

Shrink... The little energy it has left should be enough.

It's just that before it dies, it still wants to think like a human, feel joy, anger, sorrow and happiness like a human.

It's so strange... Can death be such a regretful feeling...

He looked at the man who took off the short-beaked mask and waved goodbye to him in the distance, the outsider.

He looked at the soldiers fighting in the square, the gorgeous flames blooming in the square, and the glorious coronation ceremony turned into the bloodiest slaughterhouse.

He said.

This is the last journey.

You and I are for this moment, for a better future for civilization.

For tomorrow.

I can only send you here, and you have to go forward alone on the road to the end.

Of course.

It can reverse the transformation, and so can I.

Ji Lin has done everything he can do, but he hasn't, he still has the last bit of strength.

Yes, the last road should be walked by humans.

That is their road and choice.

Shrink all energy.

"Don Quixote!"

Zhong roared.

After the reverse transformation, human emotions were quickly injected into its body, and a part of its body was finally flesh and blood.

His emotions, his anger, his rationality.

The final infusion of his own knowledge.

Reversing the construction process.

The sound of horse hooves.

Justice is no longer pale, but cast in steel.

The knight wears steel armor, rides a warhorse made of steel and flesh, and raises a lance made of twisted metal in his hand.

The last knight roars silently.

The drooping lances of the royal guards are broken by steel, and their bodies standing in front are crushed by iron hooves.

A lance is sent into the heart, piercing the last immortal rune core.

The dream of the eternal empire ends along with her life.

The era of Victoria ends.
