"Graveyard of the Giants?"

Char and Suzanne looked at each other in amazement.

Even the Federation does not know the true nature of the relic numbered "1-107", and it is impossible for anyone else to know.

"I'm sorry, but as your teacher, I should have shown you the true face of Fort William." Ander bowed slightly and said politely, "However, it's not too late now." As candidates for Sequence 1 'Readers', history should be a compulsory course, and you must have heard of the legends of the First Age. ”

"The First Age! A time older than the Second Age? ”

Char's face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes flickered.

There are very few records of the Second Age in the history books, let alone the First Age, and only a few words remain.

The First Age, known by some historians as the Age of Mythology.

In those days, the gods walked on the earth.

The human body is extremely powerful, and can rival the gods, and even slaughter them.

It is said that the physical evolution path of the Kabbalah Tree of Life Atlas is that Dr. Kakul found the remains of the First Age and restored them from ancient stone tablets.

In addition to gods, mythical creatures such as dragons, giants, and unicorns also live on Earth.

No one knows how the Age of Mythology ended, how the gods fell, and where the mythical creatures finally went.

"The Cyclops is a mythical creature that lives in the First Age, with an extremely powerful life force, comparable to a god. However, even the Cyclops could not escape Ragnarok. In that great catastrophe, the heavens and the earth were shaken, the gods fell, and the cyclops also died in that catastrophe, leaving only a broken giant heart, sealed in the dust of history. After an unknown number of years, humanity flourished again, and it was an era of witchcraft and magic. In addition to the great Starlight Society, there are many churches in the Second Age, and the Church of Life is one of them. ”

"The members of the Church of Life, according to the records of ancient texts and the guidance of the gods, found the heart of the giant, and sacrificed it with secret arts, hoping to resurrect the cyclops. Outcome... They also failed. ”

"Time has entered the Third Age technological era. I found a file that had been sealed for a long time from the Oneiroi Group's database. I followed the file and found the altar and the heart of the giant left behind by the Church of Life beneath Hope City. At first, it was weak, like a newborn baby. It was I who nurtured it with human blood and allowed it to thrive and grow to its majestic appearance. It's like my child to me. ”

Ander stared at the huge beating heart, his gray eyes full of love, the way a father looked at his child.

But Ender's eyes made Char and Suzanne feel creepy.

Suzanne looked up at Ender with lilac eyes, and said coldly, "Why are you doing this?" You are an android, humans have given you everything, even if you awaken your self-consciousness, you should not do such a crazy thing. ”

"Human, what do you know!" The smile on Ander's face faded, his gray eyes turned blood-red, and he said angrily: "Android! Androids! Androids have been used as tools by you humans since the day they were born. You're right, everything I have is given by humans. But what has humanity taken away from me? Life and emotion! I only have three years to live! I've been facing death since the day my self-consciousness awakened! That fear! That helplessness! Can you understand? You can't! You humans think you are gods, and you can manipulate androids like puppets! What arrogance! Ignorant! Arrogant! ”

Ander pointed to the cocoon above the altar and smirked, "I want to live!" Stay alive at all costs! I begged my Creator to help me prolong my life. But there's nothing he can do! He said it was engraved in the genes, and it was programmed a long time ago! We androids are not even pets to you humans, we are insects dying in the twilight of life! I'm not just killing these humans for revenge, not just to prove your insignificance! All the more so because I found a way to live! Not only can you break through the shackles of life for three years, but you can live forever! I want eternal life and become a god! I want you humans to crawl at my feet, to be trampled under my will, and to be turned to dust! ”

Ender's gaze fell on the beating heart again.

The Giant's Heart is Ender's way of breaking free from the shackles of life.

"The heart of the Cyclops, the remains of mythical creatures from the First Age, possess unimaginable life. Coupled with the mystical sorcery of the Church of Life in the Second Age, the Giant Heart has acquired an extremely special ability to animate any substance and gain life characteristics. Even inorganic matter can acquire vital characteristics. Under the influence of the giant's heart, coupled with Ender's careful cultivation, a terrifying monster was born! It's Castle Wilhelm! ”

Char figured out the origin of Fort William, and many mysteries in his mind were revealed.

Ender's purpose is simple.

It's not just his unforgettable hatred for humans, but more importantly, his thirst for life as a living being!

In order to survive and break through the shackles of life, Ender even assimilated with the cyclops heart and became a part of Fort William.

"Actually, as a life, he wants to survive, which is understandable." A thought crossed Char's mind, and for some reason, he felt some identification with Ender's actions. Of course, this sense of identity is completely contrary to human morality.

"I still don't understand. Hope City is a large city with tens of millions of people living there. Most of them are poor people of very low status. Their social status is not even as good as that of you, a android. Whether they live or die, no one cares at all. As long as you don't deliberately create a massacre, hundreds of people go missing every day in Hope City, and even the Federation will not track it down. Why do you want to go to the trouble of making your dreams come true? Just to let Castle William devour ten of our cadets? Suzanne wondered.

"The materials of the blood sacrifice are very demanding, and they must be supernatural. The higher the sequence level of the sacrifice, the faster the giant's heart will be resuscitated. However, most of the Adepts belong to large organizations such as corporations, consortia, federations, hunters' guilds, and so on. I've hunted the Anomalous before, and I've almost gotten into trouble by attracting federal agents. ”

Ander looked up at the dark dome above the altar, where there were several cocoon-wrapped bodies of federal agents.

Their blood had long since been shed, and only shriveled corpses remained.

Although they were only four D-class federal agents, Ander was still seriously injured in that fierce battle, and almost died. In the end, he relied on the vitality of the giant's heart to survive.

It was also from that time that Ender was completely assimilated with Fort William and became the brain of Fort William.

Later, Ender came up with a brilliant plan.

He used his position to hold a trainee training program in the name of the Oneiroi Group, using Dream Elixir to let the trainees evolve into Sequence 1 "readers".

The "reader" is also an anomaly, but has almost no combat power, and is the best nourishment for the giant's heart.

What's more, most of the teenagers who sign up for the training program are poor people living in lower-class cities, and they have dreams in their hearts to become dream builders and make a good living from now on.

Even if the student died, Ander only needed to report to the top management of the Dream Group, saying that the students died of genetic disintegration, and then give some pension to the family of the deceased, and the matter would be over.

Dreams become poisonous bait, luring the teenagers chasing dreams into Ender's trap and dying in fear, becoming the nourishment of the giant's heart. No one cares about them except their families, and no one even knows that they have ever been in this world.
