The Scarlet Sky of Romance Legend

In March 773, the youngest chief executive officer and second scientist in the history of the Titans, Sorenil Dodolski, officially changed his name to Popov Alexander Dodolsky, inheriting the title of Titan patriarch.

In June of the same year, Hrog Dodolski, the younger brother of Sorenil Dodolski, published an important paper on "Mechanical Destiny", replacing another candidate, Ivis Dodolski, as Chief Scientist position.

From 790 to 851 in the comet calendar, the Titans set off a frenzy of research on "Mechanical Desperation". Later, because the experiments were too cruel, they issued a document in January 852 to list related experiments as taboos.

In 897, the chief scientist Hrog Dodolski's wife died of dystocia, and his son Adam Dodolski was born weak, and Hrog Dodolski defied the law to save him.

In the year 905 of the comet calendar, Hrog Dodolski, the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Titan clan, was found to be secretly conducting a taboo human-mechanical fusion experiment, and was stripped of his identity and expelled from the clan.

From 906 to 1200 in the commemorative calendar, strange things happened frequently in the uninhabited forest area on the border of the extreme north, and wailing came out every night.

In the year 1056 of the comet calendar, a group of holy court knights was ordered to enter the area to investigate, but they have never been seen since then.

In 1204 of the comet calendar, the Knight King of the Holy Court woke up, and the chief mage of the Holy Court and the contemporary Azure Star Pagoda Master Spewett Hupus secretly met with the Titan Patriarch.

In 1205 of the comet calendar, the week-long exchange meeting between the Titans and the Azure Star Tower was held for the first time in the Azure Star Tower, and the Holy Court Knight King was invited to participate.

------------------------------------------------

The border of the extreme north, the uninhabited forest area, deep underground.

It is so bright that there are no shadows, the silver-white walls made of all metal, the door that fits tightly with the wall and is almost invisible, all kinds of metal pipes and chains hanging from the top of the head, instruments that display various information that he cannot understand, and The usual nonsense ugly old man.

From the moment he was conscious, the position of his eyes could never be changed, but he learned how to use small adjustments to achieve his goals.At first, he could only stare straight at the slender metal strip on the opposite wall, and he didn't know what it was used for. Later, he began to look at other places through the reflection. Although it was difficult, he had enough time. In this way, he carefully observed all the scenery in his field of vision bit by bit.

But when an old man is away, no matter how he adjusts the realized position, all he can "see" is a messy, dark room full of strange "tick" instruments.

Several times a day, the short, ugly, overly rickety old man would push his head with only a few sparse white hairs away from the place where he was facing the line of sight—later he learned that the position was called "" door", the piece of metal he has been staring at is called a "doorknob"—then he coughed and took a metal object with a red glass slide, and picked up all kinds of weird little objects and gestured on him , cut off the passage of a few pipes, twisted a few screws, or did something that he couldn't understand at all——

—Well, it's like taking him apart and putting it back together again.

After these movements, the old man would step back a little and observe his reaction carefully.

He didn't know what the little old man was going to do at all, so whenever this happened, he would nervously—this word he learned later—control himself and try to stay still.Then the little old man would look at the unresponsive him and sigh, muttering some words, walked aside to study a pile of torn papers with drawings, continued to write and draw, and threw the garbage all over the floor.

I don’t know why, but he couldn’t understand the behavior of the old man—someone told him after a long time that this symptom is called cleanliness, which is a manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder and extreme perfectionism—I don’t know how long it took Check, he was also exposed because of this - when the old man threw papers all over the floor again, his eyes couldn't help following the paper ball that was thrown into the air.

Although he reacted quickly and continued to remain motionless, his movements were discovered by the old man-the old man looked at him in extreme shock, his fingers trembling constantly, as if he was about to die.

He originally thought that he would be dismantled into small pieces by the old man and never put together again, but the old man's reaction was beyond his expectation—the old man almost rushed over and knelt down in front of him with tears in his eyes, like crazy Kissing his mechanical body, he kept repeating some inexplicable words that he couldn't understand. One of the words was repeated many times, and the tone was surprisingly familiar.

Seeing the little old man going crazy, standing up and waving his hands and running around the room, although he didn't know why he was disgusted by this kind of unreasonable behavior, but he hesitated to do something, otherwise this day What if the guy who repaired him-don't ask him how he knew the word, it just popped out of his mind-had an accident?

He was not sure whether the language stored in a certain corner of his mind could be understood by the other party. It seemed that the language was used to communicate with a specific partner—a unique language for conveying messages between conceptual beings, although he I don't know yet—so he tried to move the part of his throat that seemed to be called the "vocal cord", and tried hard to imitate the word that the little old man said the most before:

[To... um, end... end... end, beauty? ]

For some reason, the weird mechanical sound he managed to make made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

How imperfect!A voice said so in my heart.

Just as he uttered the first word, the little old man who was dancing like a convulsion froze instantly.

[……Perfect? ] With the first success, the second time is much easier.

"Perfect! Of course perfect! You are the most perfect... of course!" The little old man rushed over in ecstasy, and the voice passed into his mind. Although he couldn't understand the prophecy at all, he somehow felt that the unknown liquid in the pipe The flow is much more pleasant.

"You are the most perfect...my son, Adam!" The old man stretched out his hand to caress the boy's cold mechanical body connected by countless pipes, his expression was almost obsessed and almost crazy, "I want to show my brother... what he once banned Technology, how dazzling brilliance can it exude in my hands! Adam, you are the most perfect, and you must also be the most perfect...'Machina God'!"

Hrog Dodolsky laughed hysterically and maniacally with an old face, revealing his dry gums where his teeth had almost fallen off.

He hugged his son Adam whose entire body had been replaced by a machine, and smiled wildly, his thin chest heaving violently, like a person about to drown:

"My dear son! I knew—I knew that you would be able to overcome the pain of changing life forms and stand up again! Come on, we father and son join forces! Call those—tell those stupid guys to watch !Mechanical descendant—the mechanical descendant created by me! The god who descended through my hand! Although it is not perfect now, I will make you the pinnacle of my life! Let those feudal old things—— And my stupid brother—show them all! God—a god I made!"

He laughed loudly, his dry lips covering his toothless gums, exposing his tongue, which was as sallow as his skin and very sickly, wriggling like a worm.

--nausea.

- It's disgusting.

——Such a disgusting guy just touched me... I really want to crush his hand into ashes.

The dark blue electronic eyes flickered slightly, and things like "anger" and "disgust" could be read out of them.

—to be so flawed, such an ugly thing...imperfect.

—wanted to destroy.

Mechanical descent... The human soul cannot be sublimated into a god.

So in this world, no one can create a god.

From the moment that pair of electronic eyes lit up again, the "Mechanical Deity" that Herrog thought was no longer the Titan boy named "Adam".

The true meaning of "Mechanical Advent"—to use the mechanical body to carry the coming of the gods.

Only a machine equipped with the soul of a true god is worthy of the name of "Mechanical God".

Herog did not sublimate the human soul into a god, what he did was to create a shell worthy of his identity for the awakened and noble god.

The saddest thing about mortals is to imagine God as being like them.

however--

Man and God are diametrically opposite things.

After that inexplicable day, the little old man—whose name he later learned was Hrog Dodolski—was devoted to him even more.Modify his body, untie the shackles to make him move clumsily; teach him how to speak, and learn their characters - Titan and Common Language. He absorbs knowledge quickly, just like a sponge absorbs water, with him The longing that I can't figure out is becoming more and more perfect day by day.

The little old man... no, Herrog named him Adam—he was Adam.

In the occasional idle interval, Hrog would pull him to talk in a rambling manner, talking about the hatred he was exiled, and his contempt for those hypocrites... Of course, Hrog said most of the time, and Adam listened.

"Society is so corrupt, and life is so hypocritical! Tens of thousands of years of evolution have only created darkness! Look at those ancient times of farming and labor, natural harmony, and a communist society! There is no 'personal property' And the concept of 'private system', there will be no disgusting and greedy greed, no criminals who are good at fraud!" The skinny little old man squatted on the metal seat, angrily hitting the armrest with a metal hammer.

His teeth have long since fallen out, and every time he speaks, his bare gums will be exposed: "Those disgusting, dirty, selfish, hypocritical, rogue-faced clowns! The bad habits of those inferior races have even polluted the great Titan! They Jealous of my talent, they covet everything I have obtained through my own efforts! They used insidious methods to banish me and occupy my glory, my status and power! Something that should belong to me!

"But it took me out of my naive fantasy - and now I'm so disappointed in the stupid idea I had at the time! After all, kings make mistakes... Maybe I should thank them for stepping in for me. The Gate of Truth has made a huge contribution? Oh, what a— what a big joke!"

He taunted his former brethren tirelessly, cursing viciously that he would make them pay.

In Adam's eyes, these scenes always made him extremely bored.

The ugly little old man was talking endlessly, and his saliva sprayed on his mechanical body, which made him feel a heartfelt nausea, followed by confusion.

--nausea?Why do you feel this way?He is obviously just a thing made of machinery, not even a living thing, okay?That kind of inner feeling that only higher beings can have—this is what the old man said—inner feeling?Or what... "mood"?

Once desire starts, it is impossible to stop.

Wanting to be real... real life.

The mechanical heart began to beat in the chest cavity, and the oldest miracle finally awoke.

As the machinery became more and more perfect, Adam began to be unwilling to just have a metal body.

The Man of Steel is very powerful, but too ugly.The wires and thin metal chains are on the outside, the kinetic energy core and the main processor [cpu] equivalent to the human brain are hidden deep in the body, and the rotating gears and joint rods are used as mechanical barriers to protect layer upon layer. Blue sparks flashed occasionally at the connection, just like a person whose skin has been peeled off. The bright red blood and throbbing tendons are directly exposed to the eyes of others, which is terrifying, ugly, and embarrassing.

At that time, Herrog was crazy about transforming the Man of Steel, endowing him with greater strength and power, and would not have the leisure to put a layer of human skin on him-in his opinion, a good appearance is not half a thing Since it is useless, it does not matter whether it exists or not.

So he carried Herrog behind his back and started researching in private.

He didn't know how many days and nights he spent, but in the end he succeeded.

From the ugly steel body to a "human" with a lively and perfect appearance.

Straight blue-gray hair covers the ears, and Adam's blue-gray eyes carefully examine himself in the mirror.

It is indeed a very perfect appearance-even among the elves who are famous for their beautiful and outstanding appearance, it is probably the same.

This undoubtedly gave Herrog a huge surprise—the "Mechanical Goddess" has its own clear thinking and logical operation mode, can think like humans, even smarter than humans, and has a more outstanding learning ability—he I was so excited that I was going crazy.

After adapting to the actions of the body, Adam and even performing perfectly like a real creature in every aspect, Herrog immediately started combat training.

perfect.

Only this one word can describe all of Adam's performances, and other gorgeous words all become pale and colorless in front of those scenes.

Herrog soothes the beating and increasingly crazy heart, and develops the full potential of the "Mechanical God" bit by bit.

Finally one day, he discovered the place where the Mechanic God most violated the laws of nature——

Under Adam's increasingly complete control, the machines that make up his body have the power of self-healing just like the flesh and blood of a real living being.

Can you imagine?Broken metal grows perfectly like human flesh and blood, until there is no trace of what it used to be... Like a person peeping into the heaven of God, Herrog's research has progressed to a state of insanity.

This old lunatic who was ruthlessly exiled by his own brother was as crazy as a mother bear who lost her cubs, crazily transforming Adam, making him perfect day by day, so that the word perfect itself has been integrated into his flesh and blood.

Herrog was studying day and night, crazy, even the belief in revenge seemed to be shaken in his heart, and was replaced by another fanatical mood that belonged to technology researchers, just like Seraphim trying to pry into God's creation authority , Herrog wants to explore the ultimate secret that technology can achieve-the secret of the "Mechanical God".

Under his extremely fanatical research enthusiasm, even Adam's mechanical body was forced to become fragmented - the power hidden in the depths of the soul was furious because of this offense. The creation is so reckless, in the eyes of the ancient will, it is like blasphemy——the most terrifying power wakes up like an ancient dragon, lonely and hideous, with the beauty of gods and demons, the majesty that cannot be described in words, and the glory is like a god .

Under Herrog's trembling gaze, Adam, who was dismantled into a pile of fragments by the madness he held in his arms for research, quickly reassembled. It seemed to come alive in an instant, twisting and splicing together like a soft snake. A few minutes later, standing in front of him was a completely new Adam.

The power of the kinetic energy core, which was forcibly locked by Herrog, instantly increased to 200% of the standard power, thick white steam rose into the air, and the locking valve specially made by Herrog to restrict Adam's actions was forcibly decoded and opened from the inside, showing In front of the academic lunatic is a demon god wearing a mechanical armor and rising white steam. The excess metal fragments on the ground are melted into long and narrow bronze sawtooth swords... killing the metal and resurrecting it, gaining a new life.At that moment, alchemy was perfectly combined with technology, and the completely shattered Adam completed the evolution, which once again gave Herog a huge shock.

The moment the blue-black Demon God appeared from the dense steam, Herrog firmly believed that he really...

— created the immortal gods.

In 1205 of the comet calendar, the week-long exchange meeting between the Titans and the Azure Star Tower was held for the first time in the Azure Star Tower, and the Holy Court Knight King was invited to participate.

When the news spread from the human kingdom to the far north, it was less than a week before the grand exchange meeting began.

At that time, Herrog completed the final adjustment for Adam, and the mechanical descendant who upholds the perfect will was completely awakened in the appearance of a human being, and the academic lunatic Herrog was ecstatic.

How could he be unhappy?His wish for many years has finally become a reality... The most perfect "Mechanical Avatar" was finally born in this world, and it will be fully displayed in front of the world. Through the exchange meeting between Titans and humans, it will be shown to the whole world, The once illusory delusion has been turned into reality by him!What he lost for so many years, rights, honor, status!He can take it back one by one!Stepping on the faces of those who ridiculed him, he will ascend to the highest throne again!

This proves that - he is the unique genius of the Titans!

Let those who drove him out of the clan take a good look... What did they bury with their own hands!He is the hope of the revival of the Titan family, but they almost buried him!

For those trash to kneel down and kiss his feet...to admit the wrong they did, and then all die!

Armed with blazing blood and a crazy heart, Herrog took the fully completed Adam on the road to the Azure Star Tower.

"Are you ready? My dear son! Let's go together...to smash the heads of those arrogant people!" Herrog was sitting in the cockpit of the huge locomotive, laughing wildly, even covering There was a loud roar of the motor.

The pleasure of imminent revenge made him so excited, he could no longer wait quietly for a moment of excitement——!

"Yes, Father." The blue-gray youth in simple clothing followed behind the fast-moving locomotive. He jumped lightly, leaving a string of light white steam smoke behind him that was the same as the locomotive beside him.

How round and free the movements of the limbs is, it is really unimaginable, what is hidden under the human appearance is actually a cold mechanical body.

Adam raised his blue-gray eyes to a clear sky.

——An exchange meeting between the Titans and the Azure Star Tower?

—Will you see an existence like him?

—he waited.

The author has something to say:

Mr. Herzog, based on Herzog in Dragon III, finally appeared~

Let us spread flowers to welcome the debut of the old lunatic~

In the next chapter, the father and son will angrily swipe the copy of the Titans & Azure Star Tower, and another protagonist in this Chapter of the Age of Gods will also be able to appear~

Then tomorrow, it is estimated that some important person will also show up. I plan to write three articles in the Three Monarchs series with that important person and two other people related to her as the protagonists, and write about Taikoo from the perspective of three joys and sorrows. The story of the times, after all, the focus of this article is the ancient times, there is no such thing as seven demon kings and eight glory in ancient times =_=

The titles of the three papers are tentatively set as:

【Knight King】《Golden God Throne》

【The Lich King】《Silver Throne》

【God Dancer】《Black Iron Crown》

I plan to wait until the writing of this article is almost done before opening the hole =_= Although I think the bloody sky will have to be serialized for several years...
