Another World: My life is on the rise!

The figure raised his head, revealing his old face, with wrinkles piled up like layers of thick volcanic rock.

He was leaning on a cane, and unlike normal humans, half of his face was made of mechanical structures, and behind his hunched body, there were long mechanical arms, but all this looked so unreal, because his figure was illusory, as if he would disappear at any time.

"Scholar-scholar?!"

Silver Fantasy recognized him, her eyes were cold, she felt surprised, but did not show it.

But, hadn't he been swallowed by the ether? !

Why did he appear here?

No.

Although he looked a bit like a scholar, he seemed to lack something compared to the scholar.

He...

"You figured it out--"

The old figure was leaning on a cane, without any hostility, but seemed to be deeply tired and old.

"The real scholar has been devoured - I am not him - or - I am a part of him - before ascending to become the mechanical god of the scholar - I once served as the chief mentor of the mechanical priest - I can be regarded as the first generation of mechanical priest archon -"

As soon as these words came out, Silver Fantasy's eyes shook violently.

She quickly searched for relevant information in her memory bank, and in a flash, she found relevant information and documents in the database.

"Is it you?!"

The picture in the database gradually overlapped with the appearance of the old man in front of him.

The mechanical priest was also the predecessor of the scholar's ascension. It was an institution that brought together all the cutting-edge scientists, mechanics, and top researchers of their entire intelligent civilization. It was also the forefront of the entire intelligent civilization's scientific and technological research. They formed the mechanical priest organization before ascending.

And they were the predecessors of the later scholars.

At that time, the chief governor of the mechanical priests was named Karen. He was also the founder and defender of this organization. Before ascending, he and the captain of the general's predecessor formed the highest authority and led the war of revenge with him behind the scenes.

And the scholar!

It was the mechanical god after he and all the mechanical priests ascended together!

"How could it be--"

Silver Fantasy came back to his senses and did not dare to relax his vigilance.

The old man smiled bitterly and said with a cane:

"It can be regarded as an insurance measure-the general and I have always maintained a competitive and cooperative relationship-during the war of revenge-I took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes-withdraw from the power struggle with him-because at that time I understood-the idea of ​​technology supremacy could not lead us to victory-only his iron-blooded ruthlessness forged in the extreme deep space of the universe-is the most suitable path for our civilization-"

He paced, and his voice seemed to be filled with many memories and emotions.

This was also his first appearance.

After the ascension, the entire intelligent civilization no longer had individual independent wills. Whether it was the later scholars, generals, or the God of All Machines, they were all gods formed by the convergence of countless consciousnesses.

"Don't be afraid, child. I have no power now."

He turned his head and looked at Silver Fantasy with a trace of kindness unique to the elderly.

"This is the last mathematical Rubik's Cube left before the scholar was devoured - but compared to the Rubik's Cube used to imprison your friend - it is smaller -"

"I saved you."

Silver Fantasy didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at the old man and felt a wave of confusion and unreality.

"What happened?"

She asked.

The old man paced with a bitter smile on his face.

"Everything is for survival - kid - even the general is -"

"But I didn't expect - in order to defeat the powerful enemy - he would take the initiative to contact the disaster in the main universe - and after the failure of the deal - in order to gain stronger power to defend this foundation - he still ignored my advice - and released our seventh machine god -"

"But I had already expected this result - we can't control the ether - his vigorous ambition - as early as the main universe period - this is why we suppressed him in the period of the God of All Machines -"

He paused.

"But being betrayed by my own compatriots - still makes me feel sad -"

Silver Fantasy slowly loosened his clenched hands and looked at the old man with a complicated look.

"The atomic revolution - it hasn't succeeded yet, has it?"

The old man nodded and said:

"You know - without the authority in your hands - this puzzle can't be completed - he has been looking for you - I can feel his anxiety and impatience - and now - he vents all his emotions on your friend -"

Silver Fantasy raised her head suddenly and said:

"He is fighting?!"

The old man looked at her and said: "He is very difficult - and very powerful - just one step away - he can destroy the core of the atomic revolution - if it weren't for this - then I don't think Ether would attack the general so quickly - he was forced to that point -"

But he shook his head.

"But he can't win."

"99% of the atomic revolution - plus the roots that were swallowed by the ether before - his current strength has expanded to an extremely terrifying level - he is just trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm -"

Silver Fantasy turned around abruptly, without listening to him anymore, and quickly scanned the surroundings, saying:

"Where is the exit?"

"Are you going to fight with him?"

The old man asked.

Silver Fantasy did not speak, her expression was extremely calm, but her actions had already told him the answer.

"Even if you go, what can you change - it's just to let the ether complete the last piece of debris - let this revolution complete its final ascension - you don't have the ability to participate in this war -"

The old man said hoarsely.

Silver Fantasy had a calm expression and clenched his fists tightly, saying:

"He is a bastard - but even if he deserves to be killed - I should be the one to kill him -"

The old man said:

"He will run - he has always been like this - people like him will never let themselves fight a war that they have no chance of winning - he will soon realize that the situation is not favorable to him - and retreat -"

But Silver Fantasy interrupted him instantly.

"No."

She turned around and stared at the old man coldly.

"At other times he might run - but this time he will definitely not - I know him better than you -"

"If he doesn't rescue his family - he will fight to the death -"

...
