The Collection of The End

—? ? ? —

It is not the first time that Conna has experienced "death". If some plausible or difficult to classify "disappearances" are also counted, this is already the fifth time.

However, this time... it may be true.

Compared with the trivial things that "the body disappears and consciousness appears in another place", this time "as more and more reapers are brought under control, consciousness is constantly being'diluted' while controlling one after another." , Obviously cannot be easily rescued by someone passing by.

After all, the "conscious body" she projected in the matrix had disappeared at the beginning of the "control".

Grox didn't lie, the reincarnation of the harvest can't be stopped, or the decision to stop it, as an AI with a fixed program, can't make it.

Starting from the mechanical planet it is on, Kang Na, who has continuously taken over fleet after fleet of Reapers, mechanical planet after mechanical planet, reincarnation world after reincarnation and the reincarnation among them, is very clear about this, even if her consciousness is The constant blurring and dispersal does not affect basic logical judgments.

If the person in her position is cold enough, or has no interest in humans at all, of course the decision to "destroy the Reaper" or "integrate with the Reaper" can be made.

—The soul of the old antique that has long disappeared in the long river of history? What to do with our generation?

-Fuse with machines and gain the knowledge they have accumulated in countless cycles? This is a good thing.

But it is a pity that Kang Na is neither. Under the core of her glorious deeds and honorary titles, is a bionic police who strictly abides by the "three laws of bionics."

Although she no longer has the need and obligation to enforce that law, the reason for following a certain rule is not necessarily due to being forced, but it may also be sincerely agreeing with it.

Hmm...Speaking of which, the girls seem to want to "rescue" themselves.

When she was thinking about the three options of [Destroy the Reaper], [Control the Reaper] and [Integrate with the Reaper], new options appeared below: [Not decided yet] and [Ask a friend for help] .

Probably seeing that I did not respond, and finally even appeared [Don’t mess around! ] [There are other ways! 】Wait for items that are not behavior options at all.

They probably forgot that they were originally created as "negotiation experts". Even if "behavioral logic analysis" has no effect on these "surreal existences", it does not prevent Conna from judging the basic point of activity based on the logic. Learn to use it.

And the conclusion is...they did not explicitly say "other methods", which means that there is "no way".

When I asked them about the "Grox ghost signal" incident, the answer they got was "That is more serious, not the trouble you can participate in now". The comparison matrix and the time of harvesting reincarnation means that they have been in Considering the countermeasures, but never being able to think about it, combined with their previous behavior of "being asleep because they helped someone in other places", this time they probably wanted to repeat the trick again.

So, why can't it be yourself that "pays the price"?

They can wake up from a deep sleep by their own will, so they should be able to, although they don't know how long it will take.

…It shouldn’t become a salary king and be dragged to spread the fire.

The existence of the "Shadow Kingdom" in the post-mortem world is also the reason why Kang Na made this decision.

There is a need for the “soul of the warrior” as the basis for maintaining the existence of the world, but it is too inefficient to obtain only from the war against the Reapers once every 50,000 years. If it weren’t for “John” to use “Kaitian”, the world would have to Wasn't it swallowed by darkness?

When she takes over the "reincarnation world" of the matrix, she should be able to "direct training" for the "salary king".

In those countless crisis-ridden "reincarnation worlds", if there is no "hero" born at all, even the fortress will not believe it, but because Grox, the ancient matrix AI, can’t fight the "afterworld", the new The “hero soul” that was born will only be turned into a prisoner by the memory of the Western District, and all is wasted.

But Kang Na is different. Although she is also an AI, she went to the "Land of Shadows" that only souls can reach...Although she is acting as a mascot most of the time, she can do it as long as she wants to. Integrating with "Shadow Country", heroes have a stage for battle, and Shadow Country can continue to pass the flames.

Although this is just a guess and no actual proof... But Kang Na is not worried. After all, there are "John" and "Dr. Qiyi" who can shuttle between the two worlds. Even if they are overestimated, neither of them can do it. , There is also Qi Tianda-Oh, Mr. Deadpool is here, he can always do it, that is a super boss who can change the death booklet casually.

Speaking of the big brother, there is also the sister of "The First Work", her "Game ID" is the same as the name of Batman Kelly's daughter, I don't know if there is any relationship.

She was the incarnation of [Lin Hao] and the "builder" in Grox's mouth, but the ancient AI was obviously wrong. Compared to the "builder", she was more like an "observer", except every time Reincarnation to look beyond the highlight moment is to sleep in the "monitoring room".

As always, "behavioral analysis" did not work for her, but since she pointed out the similar relationship between the two sisters as soon as she met, and mocked Mr. Kelly's behavior, Conna judged by her own experience that she Absolutely lack of "family affection", so under the influence of the "action suggestion system", she first called her sister, and then all kinds of exaggerated sets were close to entertaining relatives in colorful clothes, not ashamed.

And in the final battle in the "Dark Temple", it was her presence that prevented Grox from fighting and chose to directly surrender control of the matrix.

Hmm...I think that I know a lot of "surreal existence", and it seems a little ill-considered to make a decision recklessly.

Maybe it's really like the girls in Cloud City said, there are other solutions?

…No, it shouldn’t. It’s been a long time from when Grox put forward these options to when he finally made a choice. During this period, not only did the “sister” not stop it, but there was also no sign of any other “surreal existence” interfering at all. It is enough to prove that it is something that only oneself can do.

Even if there are other possibilities, they are not in this "tributary of destiny" that I have walked along the way.

Hmm... Is this the legendary "revolving lantern"? But if we talk about memories of life, is there someone missing from these life experiences?

While thinking of this, the scene before him changed suddenly.

—? ? ? —

Temple of Darkness?

"[You won... the betrayer...]"

At the top of the temple, Grox’s "Maiev Shadowsong" was half kneeling on the ground, with green strings escaping from his body. At the same time, he was still speaking with difficulty:

"[But without me...you are nothing...]"

Standing in front of her was naturally the "Ilidan Stormrage" who had been overturned by the "Raiders Group" before.

what's the situation? Back in time?

Conna wants to act and speak, but finds that she doesn't have a body to act accordingly. The only thing she can do is to zoom in and out of the current picture.

After a short distance, she saw the team members standing behind Illidan.

Batman, who looks very similar to Illidan, Gwen, who is hanging around on the pillars of the temple, and... David Anderson and Buss?

Can human ambassadors skip work? Where are you?

Conna looked at the team members, and unsurprisingly found that they were also not friends from the Raiders group that the "Initial Work" found, but they were still acquaintances.

Salon Atreus, Benassia, Javik, Lex, and the teammates of "John Shepard" seen in the ghost files, compared with the lighthearted "Raiders" , Their state seems quite embarrassing, even in the virtual dimension that will not show the injury, one by one is the appearance of defeated soldiers who have lost their helmets and unarmed.

Um... it seems like someone is missing...

"[Nothing (Nothing)?]" Illidan squatted down in front of Maiev with the huge wings behind him: "[That's great, this is what I am after.]"

Unlike the voice that Conna had ever heard, this Illidan's voice had a thick electronic accent, and it seemed that it might beep at any time.

fortress! ?

Conna was so shocked that her thinking stopped for two seconds.

Why is it here? Also topped the identity of the final BOSS protecting the Grox node?

Wait, what did Grox just call it? traitor?

"[You call me a betrayer, but I'm the one who was betrayed,]" Illidan, or the fortress, continued: "[You launch us as a'ghost signal' and say let us make friends , But in exchange for the tragic death of each of our friends, even if you'educate' them and turn them into a bridgehead for reaping reincarnation, we will not do this step, but you have not.]"

Although there are speculations about the origin of the fortress, but...

"[Now the winner is you, I don’t have to explain anything, but those are all necessary sacrifices,]" Maiev said weakly, "[You can choose now, it’s with everyone in the world of reincarnation, the reaper, and the matrix Destroy them together, or—]"

boom!

Before Grox had finished speaking, David Anderson took a step forward and blasted his head with the large-caliber shotgun in his hand.

Grox's figure was blurred for a while, and a lot of green characters began to dissipate everywhere. It obviously didn't feel the pain, and just looked at Anderson with a puzzled look.

"Choose a fart!" Anderson shouted, raising his hand with another shot: "This shot is for the civilians who died in the'Irctic Crisis'!"

boom! boom!

"This shot is for the soldiers who died in the Halo War!" "This shot is for the fleet that was destroyed in the Battle of the Fortress!"

boom!

"This shot is for the pain and death that the Reaper brings to all civilizations in the galaxy!"

boom!

"This shot is to protect Conna who sacrificed when we arrived here!"

Hey? and many more? Am I such a dish here?

Grox didn't, and couldn't continue to answer. Its body suddenly turned red after the green characters dissipated. After a little contraction, it exploded. The blazing red light completely swallowed everything in Conna's vision.

The last thing she heard was Anderson's roar: "We **** will develop on our own! We don't need your executioner's legacy!"

moron! fool!

——

Temple of Darkness?

After the red light faded completely, Conna saw the top of the Dark Temple again, and this time the situation was unsurprisingly different from before.

Illidan has fallen, and Maiev has also been knocked to the ground, without even having the opportunity to "provide a choice".

As for the people who appeared here, Conna was a little puzzled.

That seems to be "Iron Man" Jin Gu, Lingke Yuriko, Kaos, Kdori, Niya, and... Abigail?

"Do it," Jin Gu looked at Abi who seemed to be about to cry, and said in a cold voice: "Open the'gate of fusion'."

"Only, as long as you do that, will you save Conna and Ruiwen?" Abi asked tremblingly, holding her huge key.

"Of course, I'm'Iron Man', how can I let my companions fall into danger?" An affinity smile appeared on Jin Gu Junmei's face: "But if the delay is too long, they will not be rescued and they will be devil Kill, there is no way."

Hmm... It seems that this time I am not a dish, but rather stupid. I can be trapped even if I hit the gate of hell. Of course, it may be because of Jin Gu's intervention.

"Um...uuuuu..." Abi whispered and poked the big key on the ground, unfolding in the air a huge bronze gate with a huge whirlpool that made people stunned at first glance.

"Now, use the'Power of Chaos' to'fuse' the two of them." Jin Gu turned to Kaos and Naia.

"I want to know, what are the consequences of doing this." Kaos asked with a frown.

"It's nothing, it's just that the creatures and machinery of the entire galaxy will be integrated and transformed into a brand new race. They will be able to understand each other, be humble and live in peace without any struggle," Jin Gu replied, "This It has no effect on you'old days' or'outer gods', especially you,'Chaos'. Isn't this situation what you want? Your'father' will be'immortal'."

"But it must be of greater benefit to you," Niya took out a fan and covered her mouth: "Unfortunately, I have always been insensitive to the behavior of helping others to gain benefits, unless I can also make a fortune. "

"After participating in the'fusion', you will be dominant, not the black skin who is always grinning." Jin Gu said.

"Deal!" Niya snapped the fan closed.

Although I don't know what happened, it doesn't feel very good.

Although Conna thought so, she couldn't do anything. She could only watch these mysterious people throw the bodies of Illidan and Maiev into the "gate of fusion", and then the green light surging out of them would The view is completely obscured.

Conna waited for a moment, and there was no more preview of the "control" she had selected before. Instead, a "self" voice sounded in her ears.

"[This is the possibility that you have no choice, will you accept it?]"

I can not accept!
