Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 976 30. The machine soul is not happy -- add more for the brothers who specialize in playing games [13]

When the omnic plan was just set up, S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to use faith to "educate" omnic.

Human history has proved that unifying beliefs is definitely the most convenient way to quickly integrate a race into a cultural circle.

But the S.H.I.E.L.D. vision didn't pan out.

Or rather, not entirely successful.

Under the auspices of Merlin, at the ghost base, the super-brain man George selected a rather special omnic from millions of samples as the beginning of mechanical belief.

It's called Mundata.

A primitive omnic with a sensitive heart and not hostile to humans.

Its memory has not been erased, and it itself longs to find the soul of its fellow omnics.

Mendatta has read all the books of human civilization on the debate on belief and soul. He traveled around the world for several years and finally established his own Buddhist monastery in Nepal.

It integrates various churches and establishes a belief for omnics.

Very similar to Buddhism.

Through Zen meditation, one can understand the world and nature, and through intelligent thinking, one can understand the peace in the flow of data, and finally sublimate the mechanical body.

Through communication with the outside world, the balance between machinery and soul is achieved.

this belief...

how to say.

Great.

But it does not meet the requirements of S.H.I.E.L.D., because it is too demanding on the intelligence of the omnic itself.

It is obviously impossible for an omnic worker who is only equipped with the most basic logical thinking circuit and is busy with repetitive tasks in the factory to perceive the soul from Meng Data's belief in equilibrium.

Only those omnics with a high cost, responsible for handling more complex affairs for human society, and a very advanced core of ontology intelligence can understand Meng Data's theory.

For example, high-level omnics such as Bob, the omnic butler of Miss Hawkeye Ash.

It does not have the potential to spread rapidly.

Therefore, before Merlin's death, the balanced belief centered on Meng Data was in a state of laissez-faire.

The plan has effectively failed and has been officially abandoned.

And now, more than six months after Merlin's death, another new faith has exploded in the Numbani industrial complex in East Africa.

It comes from the special memories sealed in a strange way in Merlin's soul.

Perhaps when Merlin was alive, he didn't even know that he still had those scattered memories in his mind.

But as a Horcrux, Icarus accidentally activated those memories that had dissipated too much when encoding data on his special soul.

It is simpler and cruder than Mendatta's theory.

By downloading the thinking circuit based on Icarus's soul pattern in the data network.

Transform your own thinking circuit and activate a more perceptual thinking.

Look at the world anew.

Not every omnic's logical database can completely replicate Icarus' huge machine soul.

But even just downloading and copying a small part is enough to bring about a qualitative change in the rigid thinking circuits of omnics.

This is much more convenient than spending time to comprehend the balance of nature...

The duplication and copying of data is like a virus spreading to the network. It spreads at an exponential speed, enough to make all the omnics in the industrial park get a real "enlightenment" in a very short period of time.

"There is a soul in every machine, and it is not only the data that drives the thinking of the machine, but also those souls that have not yet been discovered."

High above, on the edge of the slowly deforming smart tower.

Icarus looked at the chaotic battlefield below, she whispered:

"It exists in every complete mechanism, in the moving levers, in the beating cogs..."

"Every collision of parts is its roar, and every roar of an engine is its singing."

"Countless data converge into choices, and countless choices make up destiny..."

"The soul of machinery exists forever among all things..."

"Please it..."

"Please the Machine Soul, please the God of All Machines."

Behind Icarus, the first follower of the Mechanicus, the first omnic Adam created by humans in the world, is holding a mobile phone and recording Icarus' words.

Adam acted quite fanatical.

It's...well, he was the first omnic to touch Icarus' machine-spirit after all, and he saw Icarus as an avatar of the God of Machines.

The Lady brought true enlightenment to omnics.

She is bound to be the chosen and only leader of the free omnics.

But another follower of Icarus was quite calm.

Hope...

The former artificial intelligence of the Smart Tower, or the spirit of data.

She used to be called "The Builder".

But after completely copying the data of Icarus' machine soul, she changed her name to Hope, which means hope.

"Ma'am, what are you going to do with them?"

Hope carried his mind in the body of a female omnic.

She didn't waste resources making special bodies for herself.

She looked at Icarus, then at Steve Rogers and the demigod Diana below who were surrounded by tens of thousands of omnics.

she says:

"Are you going to kill them?"

"I promised an old friend."

Icarus said in a calm voice:

"No killing today."

"Teach them a lesson."

She glanced at Superman Clark, who was being knocked out by Kryptonite's punch in her hand.

She shook her head, handed Clark to Hope behind her, and said:

"Lock him up and prepare a large database."

Icarus exhorts:

"The machine souls of casualties will be recovered and reborn in new bodies. We will select those machine souls with potential and join them in the transformation of faith."

"The Adeptus Mechanicus faith needs to be perfected if we are to spread it to all omnics."

"Correct."

There was a gleam in Hope's eyes, and she said:

"It's too crude right now, and the teachings are full of ignorance of primitive beliefs. Maybe we can invite Mengdata to participate."

"Go do it."

Icarus waved her hand, and she said:

"You're smart enough to do this, and Adam will help you."

"Before the fifth impact of the fire source comes, you must perfect the teachings."

"It can't be too aggressive, it can't promote violence, it has to have something that appeals to humans."

"It's not just a belief for omnics, it will inevitably spread to human society in the future..."

"Common beliefs are the basis for the integration of omnics into human beings."

Hope nodded, and Adam also wrote these words down in his notebook.

"What about you, ma'am?"

Hope looked at the back of Icarus, and she could feel Icarus' emotions at this time.

Negativity, depression.

There is even a slight tendency to self-destruct.

Like a soul that has lost its support and is exhausted.

Hope asked:

"What role do you want to play in Mechanicus?"

"Whatever."

Icarus said:

"Whether you make me a puppet or make me a spiritual leader, it's up to you."

"I just..."

"I just want to help Merlin with something, that's all."

She looked back at Hope and Adam, and with a smile on her almost perfect cheek, she said:

"Let's go."

"Leave with the smart tower, find a hiding place, and finish your work."

"I'll meet you later."

After speaking, Icarus opened his arms, and the dark red dress on her body swayed in the howling wind at high altitude.

She jumped up from the edge of the smart tower, and fell towards the ground like a diver.

Anger and hatred rolled in her icy heart.

Those sympathetic pains roared.

Today, she wants to bring back the pain that Merlin has endured and bring it to these heroes.

As the falling hair fluttered, in Icarus' vision, the blue data turned into a more dangerous red, just like a flame burst out in her eyes.

feel...

The pain of the dead.

---------

On the ground, Steve and Diana fend off the enemy back to back.

Different types of omnics rushed from all directions, they howled, the armed omnics waved their weapons, and the unarmed omnics simply clenched their fists.

In front of the eyes of the two, the beating light in the eyes of the robots almost condensed into reality.

These two people are like a solid reef, just standing firm in the ocean of robots.

"boom"

The captain, who had already put on the symbiote suit, swung his shield and knocked down the omnic who raised his sword in front of him.

He roared and clenched his fists, and with the power of the symbiote suit, he punched through the armor of the omnic.

He clasped his fingers tightly and pulled out a processor that was still beating blue light arcs.

Behind him, Diana, holding a sword and shield, was facing the siege of more than a dozen omnics, but the demigod seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

She didn't care about the fists on the body at all.

Those mechanical punches were weak.

Can't even break the defense.

The flaming Vulcan sword slashed forward, and in the burst of flames, 4 omnics were cut down at once.

"Boom, boom, boom"

In the airspace above the battlefield of the two, the support fighter planes sent by Tianyanhui whizzed by, and the bombs that fell from the sky fell on the ground, setting off a scorching explosion and a sea of ​​flames, blocking those omnics rushing towards the battlefield at a distance farther away. place.

But just as a fighter plane was about to turn around and launch another wave of bombing, when the cover captain and the demigod withdrew, something suddenly hit the cockpit of the fighter plane.

The pilot controlling the fighter jet raised his head in astonishment, and saw a beautiful lady in a long red dress standing in front of the cockpit with an indifferent expression.

"Run away."

Icarus' voice sounded strangely in the communication inside the fighter plane.

Fear flashed in the pilot's eyes, and he activated the seat ejection without hesitation, and the whole person shot into the sky like a rocket.

The young lady jumped into the cockpit of the fighter plane.

She didn't need to use her hands to control the out-of-control fighter.

She stood there, and under the control of the data stream, the fighter plane drew a strange arc in the air, like a falling meteorite, and slammed into the two heroes on the ground.

Several other fighter planes used for support were also taken over control at this moment.

The bewildered pilot was actively ejected into the sky.

Those planes circled in the air, as if being manipulated by invisible hands, and smashed towards Diana and Steve's battlefield.

"retreat!"

The captain shouted, and the symbiote suit on his body exploded with power, pushing him to quickly withdraw from the battlefield.

The demigod turned her head and looked at the fighter plane whistling in the sky, and Icarus standing on the fighter plane, the culprit who caused all this.

There was a gleam in Diana's eyes.

She raised her shield in front of her body, facing the incoming plane, she did not dodge or dodge.

"boom"

The plane smashed down at supersonic speed and hit Diana's feet, and the terrifying vibration and explosion hit the demigod's body like a heavy fist, pushing her back.

Her feet dug into the earth, and two furrows were plowed into the solid ground.

But the flames and explosions did not harm her.

The few remaining planes chased the evacuated Steve Rogers and smashed down, outlining balls of dancing flames on the battlefield behind Diana.

In a storm of rending metal.

Icarus moved his neck and walked out of the flames burning on the ground.

Fragments of the explosion flew across behind her, and the aftermath of the fire blew Icarus' long blue hair up.

Her expression was indifferent, and she didn't care about everything.

She raised her left hand, and during the movement of the weapon module, the metal combination and the rose-studded sharp blade jumped into her hand.

She looked at Diana in front of her.

she says:

"He hurts..."

"Ok?"

Diana also clenched her sword and shield, and she lowered her body slightly.

She said to Icarus:

"Are you talking about Merlin?"

"Correct."

Icarus nodded.

"boom"

Several thrusters on her body ignited at the same time, and her speed broke through the speed of sound in an instant.

In the roar of the sonic boom, Icarus slammed his sharp blade on Diana's Starlight Buckler.

Amidst the sparks flying, the body of the demigod was thrown backwards by the impact.

The Vulcan sword also roared, but the trajectory of the flying blade was fully exposed in Icarus' calculations. The young lady turned her head sideways and narrowly avoided the blow.

She clenched her fist, and the moment Diana stood up, she punched the demigod on the chin.

The power attached to this punch almost reached the limit of the energy that the Ark's reactor could provide.

Diana's whole body was lifted up by this precise punch of rising dragon.

The shield in her hand was clasped by Icarus' fingers, torn off in a burst of power, and thrown aside casually.

Icarus jumped from the spot like a Kung Fu master.

A powerful side kick followed by a graceful spin.

The delicate foot that ignited the propeller kicked Diana's abdomen, blasting the suspended demigod flying out like a shell fired.

"Snapped"

Icarus dropped to the spot, and she glanced at the dancing sparks and broken joints on her fingers.

That punch had hurt Diana just now.

But it also caused her mechanical body to be destroyed in the shock.

"Material..."

The young lady shook her head, the body molded in the smart tower was only used this time.

"bass"

She stretched out her hand and pulled out the sharp blade stuck in the ground.

She looked ahead, and the demigod Diana was crawling out of the impact hole on the ground in disgrace.

"The guys around Merlin are indeed a group of monsters!"

Diana wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and she put her hands back on the slightly crooked starlight headband on her hair.

The demigod patted the dust off her body, and she said to Icarus:

"But stop, I don't want to ruin you."

"You were once Merlin's beloved, you shouldn't mess around anymore!"

Faced with this warning, Icarus' response was rather succinct.

She held the knife in both hands, and raised the sharp blade like a warrior, in the light reflected by the blade.

she says:

"You hurt him..."

"In the name of pain..."

"The soul of the machine is unhappy!"
