Chapter 547: Delete the Self
"In order to achieve my purpose, to fulfill my plan to save the universe, I have killed far more people than I was motivated to do. But at the end of the day? I got nothing. 451 said weakly, his head bowed, the light in his eyes fading, "As a neutral observer, perhaps they would taunt me and say that this was 'full of sarcasm'. But for me, it's a scream that echoes in my head.
I shouldn't have done this, I shouldn't have done anything. I shouldn't have gone to Earth, I shouldn't have made a deal with Mr. and Mrs. Stark, I shouldn't have unearthed such a thing as a godkiller - this weapon shouldn't have existed in the first place. Me too, and my existence is also a mistake. No one can control the Godslayer, and my plan is a joke. The error has to be erased, I have to go away......"
"He's deleting his database and everything," Shirley reminded, "he's self-destructing." ”
Tony's expression flickered, but he didn't say anything.
For such a robot who kidnapped him and murdered countless innocent lives, if you ask Tony if he has a good impression of him? Of course not. 451 was indeed a mistake, a murderer, but at least his intentions were not bad.
Most importantly, Tony seems to see himself in him.
He saw a guy who designed a weapon to kill people, a man who tried to stop killing and trade violence for peace.
Then he thought of Ultron, and of the time when he would do whatever it took to defend their fragile home, even his teammates.
It can also be said that he sympathizes with each other, but anyway, he wants to save this robot.
"On Friday, give me all of our hacking programs." Tony crouches down, and the data cable and cable pop up in the Genesis armor and connect to the robot.
"Mr. Stark? What are we going to do here? ”
"We're going to hack in, rewrite his system, and overwrite his last instructions." Tony paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "We're going to save this son of a bitch's life." ”
Is it worth it? Tony didn't know. Maybe 451 is right, 451 probably shouldn't exist, and letting him just self-destruct is the best ending for most people.
But after hearing the story of 451, and learning that he might not even be the person he had always thought he was, Tony felt that he might not have existed.
451's system is collapsing, disintegrating itself. In a way, this is a good thing, which means that his defenses are gradually disappearing, and the difficulty of hacking into his system is rapidly decreasing with each additional second.
But no matter what, he is the creation of the Romulon after all, and his hacking component can hack into almost any computer in the universe, and it is difficult for others to hack into his system.
"Hurry, hurry." Tony gritted his teeth, looking at the words of failure that popped up on the screen again and again, and was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet. He glared at the distracted 451 and said viciously, "Don't give it up to me, bastard, how can there be such a cheap thing?" You're making a mistake, so fix it for me! Yes, you screwed up, you made a mess, but do you want to just walk away? Do you think I don't want to leave? Do you think I didn't think about running away from the problem after I messed up again and again and always lived up to everyone's expectations of me?
But that's wrong, do you hear? That's not the solution to any problem. You say you see potential in humanity? Then act like a human being. Stand up for me and look your own mistakes in the face! ”
The robot is unresponsive. The pair of scarlet eyes had almost gone out, and the functions of the robot's modules were paralyzed one after another.
He is gradually dying.
Michael, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and squatted beside the two.
"Get out of the way." He said lightly.
Tony was stunned for a moment, but didn't hesitate long before stepping aside for him to operate. He couldn't say why, but he felt trusting of Michael. In addition, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't hack into 451's system, and no matter how much he didn't want to give up, there really wasn't much he could do.
"It wasn't until just now that I installed the new components and loaded some completely new technology." As Michael spoke, the wrist part of the God's Domain armor released light blue energy rays, which reached into 451's body one by one like tentacles. Without looking back, he said, "Shirley, help me with the calculations, run the new components I just installed, and five seconds later we hacked into 451's system." ”
Shirley nodded, "Understood, sir." ”
In the next second, Shirley showed a somewhat surprised expression.
"Sir, this is ......"
"I said, it's some new technology. Work first, I'll explain later. ”
"Understood." "But I've never seen these technologies before, so I'm not sure if I can ...... them."
"I know, you just have to do your best."
Shirley nodded, "Yes, sir." ”
Tony frowned, and a myriad of questions popped into his head for a moment. But he didn't make a sound, just watched quietly from the sidelines.
"Are you ready?"
"All right, sir." Shirley said, "Entering the startup countdown, 3......2......1...... system starts. ”
In an instant, the whole body of the Divine Domain armor lit up with a sacred, pale blue light, and a large amount of complex data poured into 451's body along the fiber optic cable constructed by the energy. The data-forged battering ram slammed into the 451 system again and again, each time blowing his already crumbling defense line a little looser.
"Friday, did you record the Black Knight's data operation?" Tony asked.
"Of course, sir." Friday showed the readings and curves in his head-mounted display, "Maybe you'll want to see for yourself." ”
Tony's eyes widened in surprise.
He saw that the energy operation pattern of the Divine Domain Armor was extremely strange, it could be said to be unprecedented—even by the standards of the Black Knight. It wasn't like he hadn't seen the Black Knight's armor before, and even the upgrade of his own Genesis armor was due to the other party. But he was sure that Michael didn't have such a skill before, as if his armor had been upgraded another level in the blink of an eye......
Tony's pupils narrowed slightly, and something suddenly came to mind.
His gaze subconsciously shifted to the spirit link helmet that had been thrown aside.
Could it be, the Godslayer......???
At this moment, 451's eyes were lit up again. His system had been rebooted, and consciousness was gradually returning, but the data was still in a state of disorder.
He looked up and looked at Michael with some blankness.
“...... Why? ”
