2188 Civil War

Dorothy felt her heart beating, but the body of this apocalyptic illusion had no heart, not only did it not have a heart, but in fact, the rhythm of a normal human body that she could feel was completely unsupported by physiological structure. She herself is well aware of this, whether in the reality of the hospital or in the apocalyptic illusion, her physical composition is no longer human, however, whether in the form of Super Dorothy or in the form of Dorothy in the apocalyptic fantasy, it is still impossible to avoid the sensation of human body - not only emotions, but even the feeling of actual physiological movements such as "heart beating" and "nausea".

This is a very contradictory feeling, the boundaries between human and non-human are very clear in definition, physiology, and physical structure, but the boundaries between human and non-human are blurred in terms of self-perception and self-perception alone. There is a kind of pain similar to the "phantom limb pain" of an amputee, which occurs all the time. In the form of Super Dorothy, this pain is so weak that it is almost impossible to feel it usually, but it has not completely disappeared, and in the form of Dorothy in the Dorothy Illusion, especially in the current abnormal state, the pain like a human being, from an invisible channel, penetrates the limitations of the physiological structure, and stirs her head crazy.

Even if she has no time to distinguish whether she is human or non-human, even if she never takes the initiative to think about these questions, every time she acts, every feeling, every time she reacts, these phantom pains in the human body are whispering.

Dorothy could not say that she had long been accustomed to this paradoxical phantom pain, and when this phantom pain became more and more intense, and she felt more and more that her inhuman body was producing human-like pain, she could feel a force in her body expanding. The signs that cannot be fully described in words, the details that can be felt but cannot grasp the source, seem to remind her that she is not a monster beyond the basic structure of human beings, nor is she a superhuman being, and she has only one essence, that is, a doomsday syndrome.

Yes, doomsday syndrome patients.

The suffering of the doomsday syndrome sufferer, the madness of the doomsday syndrome patient, the doomsday syndrome patient is feverish, the doomsday syndrome patient is about to spontaneously combust, the doomsday syndrome patient is going to have a complete mental and physical breakdown. All the traits that make a person a "doomsday syndrome" arise in Dorothy's self-feeling-

It's hot.

Whether it's the head or the body, it's about to burn.

Although there is no blood, no blood vessels, and no regular organs, it is like magma flowing in the body, like a powerful electric current passing through a nerve that does not exist at all, like a kind of twist that grabs one's brain, and keeps shaking. All the functions used for observation seem to merge into this distorted and unkempt feeling. To listen is to see, to see is to read, to read is to feel, and my humanoid face seems to be melting.

The flow of time slows down suddenly.

Dorothy's eyes widened, her eyeballs were becoming cloudy, she didn't know this, but she felt that what she could see and feel at this moment was more and more distorted than before. Omi's outstretched hand approached him little by little, and the time of a second seemed to be divided into countless scales, and this hand would become different from before before it passed a scale, but it was impossible to say how it was different.

One scale, two scales, three scales...... The details of the deformation became more and more detailed, and when they accumulated, the shape of the original human hand became another thing that could not be said to be strange. This thing made Dorothy feel a great sense of oppression, she didn't want to be so afraid, she wanted to look at all this more rationally, she wanted to calm down, and correct her subjective feelings, however, this sense of oppression was completely unsentimental and unreasonable, as if it was not a feeling generated by her own stress, but a more real and objective external danger that did not turn due to personal will.

Staring at Omi's hand—a hand with a terrifying attraction and presence that made Dorothy's eyes completely unable to take her eyes off, and Dorothy felt that she was forced to stare at it—she no longer thought about why she was so resistant to Omi, why she understood Omi's behavior so horrically, and why she blamed the other for her own aberration. She couldn't even think about it.

Power erupts from every tiniest unit of Dorothy, just as suddenly it erupts from the cells of man, from the genes of man, from the bonds that make up genes, from the atoms that make up cells, from the movement of the decomposition of those atoms.

The tremendous force propelled Dorothy's body, jumping to the side, stepping on the wall, jumping to the ceiling, ignoring balance, gravity, and all the effects of natural forces, using every point in the corridor where she could stop as a pedal, like an electric light reflecting, and a few ups and downs turned behind Omi.

As an imitation of the "ultimate weapon", Dorothy certainly has superhuman mobility, but the feeling of movement in a normal state is completely different from the feeling of movement in this abnormal state today. Even in this kind of jumping and flickering, the two seem to play an equal role, but Dorothy just feels the difference—just as the engine and transmission structure of the car have completely changed, and the energy source that generates power itself has changed.

Even though the appearance is still similar, the inner change makes her deeply feel that her current self and her original self are not the same thing.

Even imitations that are also regarded as "ultimate weapons" are definitely not the same thing.

Omi's hand was barely halfway out when Dorothy disappeared from her field of vision. The aura like a beast came from behind her, and she subconsciously determined that Dorothy was behind her, and the sense of presence that Dorothy exuded at this time was completely different from the sense of presence she had when she was crazy and confused before. If you don't look at it with your eyes, you just think it's something else. Her body paused, expecting Dorothy to attack her immediately. Judging from the test data and what was observed at the scene, Dorothy's mind was already confused, showing a frenzied mood, and Omi should not be surprised if there was a bigger change.

Omi was ready to show up in front of Dorothy, she was sure enough to subdue the other party, however, the thing behind her didn't move at all.

- Heavy breathing, loud inhalation, but slight exhalation.

Omi turned her back to the sound of breathing, and she felt as if her back had been pricked by a needle, and Dorothy must have been staring at it.

"Get out of here, Omi." Dorothy's voice came from behind, and Omi couldn't read her expression clearly, "You're right, I can't think properly anymore. I only feel that you are a great threat, and all the reasons that once made me believe in you are becoming reasons that make me unable to believe you, but I am not yet vulnerable enough to completely abandon reason - I am not the same as the young Takakawa. ”

"Even if you say that, it won't last long. You can say something like that now, but it's just a flashback. You can't execute your plan properly anymore because your mindset is no longer enough to support it. But it's not your fault, Dorothy. Omi slowly turned around to face Dorothy, who was crawling on the ground like a wild beast. She is one of the makers of Dorothy in the apocalyptic fantasy, and Dorothy's ability to "come to life" is mostly based on her theories, and no one in the cyberball knows better than her how Dorothy is a powerful creature - even if it is just an imitation of the "final weapon", there are many flaws, but if it is only regarded as a weapon, its ability is enough to be comparable to the real "final weapon".

Dorothy never used it in direct combat after it was done, but that doesn't mean she lacks experience in this area. Omi had estimated this, and concluded that neither the strongest ever recorded in the final weapon of the Shinrikyo of Doom, nor the incredible humanoid "E" that had been observed, could easily defeat Dorothy in a one-on-one battle. It's just a one-on-one battle, and it may last for a long, long time, forming a situation of confrontation to a certain extent.

Dorothy, who fights entirely in the form of the "ultimate weapon of the cyber ball", is so powerful. And the strength she showed just now is only one percent of her real strength, one thousandth...... Or even less. Dorothy's abnormal state at this time has restrained her strength, but if her consciousness is distorted to a certain extent and crosses the line of utter madness, her performance as the "ultimate weapon" will be two hundred percent, or even higher.

At that time, Dorothy, even if she used the entire repeater as a limiter, I was afraid that she would not be able to confine her to the repeater.

From this conclusion, Omi felt that Dorothy's current situation, and the actions she might make, were as if something outside of the London Repeater was calling her.

- The Torchlight Deviation Ritual has been completed.

- The final battle of the Nazis has also begun.

- The sacrificial rites of the Doomsday Shinrikyo are underway.

-- The predictable enormous influence has already begun to work.

- The situation is becoming too complicated for people to see the results.

- Is it necessary to clean it up once?

- So, what is Dorothy's role to play......

- I see, Dorothy, which exists as the "ultimate weapon", is not our final weapon, nor is it the ultimate weapon of the Doomsday Shinrikyo religion.

- The rumored monster in the collective human subconscious is calling her, and the invisible "virus" is driving her.

- It's unexpected, and it makes sense.

Omi couldn't help but bite her fingers, what she could think of didn't bring her much solution to the problem, but made her see more problems. is essentially a patient with doomsday syndrome, but it has a special alienation, and it is not only Dorothy who plays an important role in the reality of the hospital or in the illusion of doom. Even if it is not a humanoid like Dorothy, but appears in the form of an "artifact", the "super system", which supports one of the three pillars of this London repeater, is, from a certain point of view, a copy of Dorothy.

Maybe compared to the current Dorothy, the situation of the color center is slightly better, but since Super Dorothy will be affected, then, the color center cannot be completely without a little problem.

Because, the essence of both is "doomsday syndrome patients". Omi now re-understands the two, and only feels that they are like foreshadowing planted in advance in the "script", although they are not completely hidden, but they are covered up by the brilliance of other characters. The meaning of their existence in this "script" is not to help other characters, but to use it as an insurance policy, to use it at a critical moment, to repair the confusion in the "script", to adjust the direction of the "script", to empty other directions that may exist in the "script", leaving only the inevitable ending.

Even, directly destroy the deformed part of the "script", remove those accidental collapse factors, and directly draw a break for the "script".

Perhaps, Dorothy and the color tie are just to prevent the worst, so they will become what they are now.

"If that's the case, then I can't let you go." Omi's gaze at Dorothy became extremely cold. Dorothy, who was watching her, also felt an extraordinary pressure.

“…… It's a pity, Omi. In the face of this pressure, Dorothy's thoughts that had once depicted the river as terrifying gradually disappeared. She couldn't think about what kind of thoughts Omi had to look at him like this and say such a thing. Because, the will of hostility is clear—whatever the reason, the two are no longer companions.

Dorothy can't be sure that her guess about Omi is correct, but she can't just do nothing and wait for Omi to prove himself with his actions. She still wants to use her actions to actually influence something, to promote her own plan, and to use the correctness she insists on to reach that happy ending. She had already retreated in the reality of the hospital, and in this apocalyptic illusion, she had no room to continue to retreat.

She's going to take back the lead!

She knew very well that even in the repeater, she was a person. At this moment, there is no one to help you. If anything, it's definitely not human -

Dorothy stretched out her hand and said to the void, "Come here, Super!" ”

The network ball, which is dominated by repeaters, and other survivors have been quarantined by Omi. Among the three pillars that support the core of the repeater, there is one that can no longer be remembered and cannot be recalled, and that must be a trap; Marceau must have been manipulated by Omi, and it was also an inevitable trap; Only the "Super System", an artifact that represents the will of the color center, may be his last companion.
