〈2 • Fate Choice〉

"Well, that's too boring, isn't it?"

Black Zhanyang's consciousness fluctuations emanated from Black Jack's consciousness, and they had ended the soul sublimation brought about by the perfect inheritance.

"Huh?"

Blackjack's current behavior looks like a schizophrenia talking to himself.

"It's so easy to become a seventh-level information master, and I don't have any thoughts of continuing to advance to the eighth level of observers."

"It's only been a few days since I came to this world, and everything I know and feel comes from you and the intelligent database, and I don't really want to complete the promotion and become the perfect factor beyond appearance."

Hei Zhanyang is no longer the black Zhanyang of the past.

"As far as I know, it's not that easy to get to the rank of Eighth-level Observer."

"Having an infinite amount of information and compressing it to the extreme doesn't sound like it's possible."

Blackjack is no longer the Blackjack he used to be.

"Well, we don't know what the limit of infinite value is, let alone beyond infinity."

"It feels like the eighth level observer is like an infinite hotel trap, it can't be full."

"Hey, that's kind of what you mean."

"But the ability of this seventh-level information controller doesn't seem to be the same as its name."

"It's a pity that you can directly control the most primordial power of the law of information and become a supreme existence that surpasses everything, but you want to lock yourself in this ability."

"It's normal to lock on to this kind of appearance ability, didn't we already know about it when we passed on reincarnation?"

"That kind of illusory power is indeed very powerful, countless ancestors who have gone a fork in the road have been lost in this illusory power, and in the end, there are very few who can successfully transcend themselves and find their essence."

"Isn't this magical world the best proof of that? Because of his greed for illusory power, he finally failed to advance, and he disintegrated into the void, turning into a data world where only information existed in this void."

"If it weren't for the fact that its essential core still existed and later evolved into the Essence World, and the life born in the Essence World happened to awaken the power of the ancestors, this magical world would have been assimilated by the endless and unrestricted flow of information in the void not long after it was formed."

"When it comes to the unlimited flow of information, it's a terrible thing, and I don't know how it came to be in the first place, or how we were born into it."

"Yes, the aimless destruction, the irresistible power of assimilation, is incomprehensible."

"It's not just this one thing that I can't understand, for example, how can we go back to the way we were now."

"It's not easy, when we finish editing the data source code and return to the island world, after the chrono freeze is lifted, you can return to the previous carrier."

"Well, I don't understand very well, it doesn't feel that simple."

Even if it wasn't for the accumulation of step by step to become a seventh-level observer, Hei Zhanyang could guess the fate decision they were about to face just by virtue of his insightful premonition of the future.

The two men, who were integrated but separate, ceased to communicate their minds, and turned their attention back to source code editing.

The perfect mastery of Insight, and as a Level 7 observer, he knew all about Crystal Poker's source code editing abilities.

Their previous understanding of source code editing was wrong, and the self-correcting power of this data world is far beyond imagination.

In order to successfully perform a world source code edit, it is necessary to have at least the ability of the Level 5 Observer, the [Information Insight], and complete insight into all the information laws and operating modes of this data world.

This alone is not enough, and Level 5 observers can only use this ability to make superficial edits to the world's source code. If you want to do more complex and in-depth source code coverage or even add new source code directly, you need at least a Level 6 observer to do so.

Overwriting and adding operations that involve the operation of the world, a careless modification of the unreasonable rules of the target may lead to the collapse of the target analysis, and even the small world where the current target is located will be directly wiped out, so as to ensure the stable operation of the entire data world.

The only way to ensure the success of coverage and addition is to use the Infinite Exclusive Ability of the Level 6 Observer, the [Information Displacement], to replace information in time and space. Of all the modification options available, swap the future that can succeed and produce the desired result to the current plane.

Although the two of them who are level 7 observers do not yet know what their essential abilities are, they can use the essential abilities of all observers below level 7, and the exclusive abilities of level 6 can also be used before they successfully master the ability of level 7.

The two had a discussion, there is only one opportunity to edit the source code in the world, and they already have the corresponding ability, and they definitely don't want to change it casually, no matter what, they also want to change it to be fun, or maximize benefits.

After some discussion, they had decided which piece of world source code to edit.

Removing the source of Eddie's poor fellow's death, the Dark Empire's ability to use and fully control the dark mercenaries, the hive consciousness behind the Dark Guard and Hammerman, the foundation of the Dark Empire, and the true Dark Head, the descendant of [MASS], were removed from him, giving the poor creature another chance to make a choice.

This is the first time Blackjack has used Crystal Poker's data source code editing, and he chose to give his opponent another chance to be free, but what he did was doomed to be useless this time, and Hei Zhanyang, who knew the result through his insightful heart, cut off the information sharing with Blackjack, and he didn't let Blackjack know in advance, which was a blow that Blackjack would inevitably experience.

After deciding what to do, Blackjack started editing the source code. The editing process is as simple as removing the mass from the target code base.

"The source code editing is complete, this game is over, players will return immediately, I wish you all a happy life."

The tugging sensation of coming again, and Blackjack's consciousness returned to his body.

After they returned to the island world, the chrono-time freeze was also lifted simultaneously.

At the same time, Hei Zhanyang forcibly suppressed the separation from Black Jack, he had completely controlled the ability of the seventh-level observer, and he also understood that he was actually the only one who was the true inheritor of this reincarnation transmission, but he was the inheritance completed in the state of merging with Black Jack, and he himself was also the best part of the soul copied from Black Jack, so he still needed the confirmation of Black Jack's ontology to truly understand his thoughts.

The dense fog lifted from the overload, the turbulent sea gradually calmed down, and the gravitational tides brought by the rules of the world brought back the waves to the beach.

There are still so many people, but things are no longer the same as before, and this time the apparent controller of the home court is Blackjack.

"Being a thief, I know that you were influenced and manipulated by Mass to become an evil person, so I give you another chance to make a choice."

The large virtual image of Blackjack synchronizes Blackjack's facial expressions, and the loudspeaker amplifies Blackjack's words to the point that Eddie can hear them.

"Thank you, strange friend, and thank you for giving me a new chance."

Eddie's voice rang out from the Super Armor as he bowed in thanks.

Seeing Eddie's movements, Blackjack was very happy, and he continued: "Disarm your super armor, I can help you get out of this place of right and wrong, I don't know if you want to." ”

Hearing Blackjack's words, Eddie didn't hesitate in the slightest.

"Thank you for your kindness, strange friend."

"I won't lift the hunting armor, and I don't want to leave this beautiful world, the so-called influence and control of Mass is originally my own choice. In order to achieve self-fulfillment, there is no way out. ”

He decisively refused, in fact, after the mass was lifted, he had already clarified his heart and understood why he chose to become a dark mercenary in the first place.

“……”

Eddie made a choice again, but it was not the choice that Blackjack had imagined, and all of a sudden, Blackjack's mind was in a mess when his plan was interrupted.

"Feeling confused?"

Hei Zhanyang started his plan at the right time.

"I don't understand it at all, am I wrong?"

Black Zhanyang's intervention allowed Black Jack's chaotic thoughts to be released.

"In my database, there are two paragraphs that seem unrelated, but they can answer your doubts."

Hei Zhanyang's earlier purpose was to make Black Jack face his heart so that he could make the wisest choice.

"What?"

While Blackjack was able to clear his mind, he also entered Hei Zhanyang's plan.

"Man is destined to be free. Because he did not create himself, but he was free. Because once thrown into this world, he must be responsible for everything he does."

Black Zhanyang was not separated from Black Jack's consciousness at all, and Black Jack didn't find out about this, the so-called database was actually the information base of Black Zhanyang as a seventh-level observer.

"But I've given him another chance to choose without any worries, why would he choose that way? It's unreasonable."

Black Jack is very good, and he is led by Hei Zhanyang again and again in the direction he must go.

"For a banal thing to become an adventure, it must and needs to be told. People are fooled, a person is always a storyteller, he lives in his own story and someone else's story, he sees what happens to him through the story, and he tries to live it as he tells it. But a choice must be made: live or tell."

Hei Zhanyang consciously communicated with Black Jack all the information he wanted to tell him, and then added a little more.

"It is the same man who speaks these two passages, and he is also one of the great guides who inspired the first observers, and his name is [Sartre]."

"Well, you're right."

After a deathly silence, Black Jack reluctantly accepted the answer provided by Hei Zhanyang.

"It's that I'm naïve, always thinking that maybe things might be better. Alas..."

Blackjack himself is the inheritor of the heart of insight, how could he not think of why Eddie chose this way, but he didn't want to believe it and deliberately avoided the right way of thinking.

"We can't decide his choice, but now there's another thing, something you decide, that you need to choose."

The preparation of the plan has been completed, and Hei Zhanyang has begun the second and final step of the plan.

"Huh? My choice?"

Blackjack was puzzled.

"Didn't you notice that since you returned to your body, your discerning mind and the essential abilities of the observer have all disappeared?"

Hei Zhanyang directly broke it.

"Hey, hey, you don't say I really didn't find out."

It seemed that so many things had happened in the data void before, but in fact, it was all a feeling that only had been felt in a state of accelerated thinking. And after Blackjack returned to his body, his attention was originally on Eddie's side, and without the blessing of Insight, he didn't notice the change in himself at all. Perhaps after Eddie's incident has passed, Blackjack will only notice the anomaly when he calms down.

"That's because the true inheritor of reincarnation is not actually the two of us, but one of me."

Hei Zhanyang doesn't plan to hide anything now, and directly unravels the information shield on Black Jack.

"That's the choice you need to make. It is to truly become one with me, and to become a true information life. Or give up the real chance to live, and continue with the future life that I don't know the direction of."

Although Hei Zhanyang set a trap on Black Jack, he did it above board, because he knew that the result of everything was predestined, and he was just pushing the inevitability that would lead to it.

As for Black Jack, he may have been a little hesitant originally, but Hei Zhanyang's plan was right in his hands.

"You already know the result, I don't have to make a choice, and the answer is inevitable, so I still choose to be myself."

"You are me who surpasses me, but I am the one who hides the devil in my heart, but I don't regret it, just because everything is my own choice."

"No matter what the past is, what the future is, at least I still have a choice, everything is my own choice, so, that's enough."

The concepts that Blackjack states may be difficult to understand, but these so-called established facts are in fact inevitable and the result of his choices.

Because the information that Hei Zhanyang opened to Black Jack was the information related to the essential abilities of the seventh-level observer.

The absolute essence of the seventh-level observer, the [information master], is an incomprehensible ability to make all possibilities a fact. It's just that except for the fact that it is now inevitable that it will happen, all other facts are contained by the information controller into his own non-existent existence. To put it more simply, the seventh-level observer, in itself, is [infinity].

"Now that you've made your choice, it's time for me to leave."

When Hei Zhanyang became a seventh-level observer, this data world was actually rejecting his existence. Now that he's done what needs to be done, it's time to leave.

"When you're gone, I'm going to lose your message and forget that you exist, right!?"

Blackjack shouted irrepressibly.

"Yes, my ability has led me to exist only within myself, and unless I take the initiative to contact you and release my message temporarily, I am a non-existent thing to you."

"But I don't want to forget you, my father!"

Black Jack himself couldn't have imagined that one of his whimsical brain holes was so close to the truth, until he learned about this fact in the information that Hei Zhanyang had just opened.

"Of course you won't forget your father, that's the last thing I can do."

Hei Zhanyang still deceived Blackjack, his so-called not letting Blackjack forget his father, in fact, was just using his ability to insert a false existence that did not affect the operation of the world into the previous time and space.

"No matter how hard a storyteller tries, as long as it's a story, it will come to an end. The past will eventually be buried, and the rebirth and replacement of reincarnation is the eternal theme of this world."

"Sing the song of reincarnation, and never forget it, perhaps one day in the future, you will make some inevitable choices to change, and then I will see you again."
