Cardinal's continued words reached Lin Yiyan's ears, who were trapped by countless questions, "However, there is also a way to break through this limitation. That's how the memory fragments inserted into the Fluct Light and the composition information of the weapon to be connected are infinitely common! Specifically......"

The sage, who had interrupted his speech, tapped his staff to the ground and shouted, "—It is to snatch the memories from the Knight of Integration, and use the 'favorite person' imprinted in it as a resource to make a sword...... Right, Administrator!! ”

After the chaos, Lin Yiyan could only feel the fear and disgust that paralyzed his back like a bad cold. The owner of the sword is a memory related to the "favorite person" stolen from the integration knight. And then with those you love the most...... For example, Elderiyah's mother, Desorubart's wife, and relatives like them used material to create the sword.

That's what Cardinal means.

In this case, it is probably possible to theoretically trigger the phenomenon of memory liberation. Because the source of information A in the Main Visualizer is the same as that of information B in Fluct Light. This can be achieved as long as the simulated Fluct Light, which is made from memory fragments, has some kind of strong longing for the corresponding sword.

The question is what this 'something' is. What kind of impulse did the fragments of memory rely on to make the vicious Colossus move?

"It's desire." As if seeing through Lin Yiyan's question, the Administrator said fluently, "I want to touch." Want to hug. I want domination. It's this ugly desire that makes the sword puppet move. ”

Hehe. Hehehe. The girl narrowed her silver eyes and sneered.

"There's only one thing that a simulated personality made from the memories of the knights expects - they want to make the person they remember their own. Anchored to the patio, they now feel that "that person" is beside them. But I can't touch it. It can't be made into one. In the midst of frenzied hunger and desire, all that can be seen is the enemy who gets in your way. As long as you kill this enemy, you can turn the person you want into your own. How? Pretty powerful device, right? The power of desire is called...... It's so beautiful! ”

Against the backdrop of the Administrator's loud chanting, the eyes of the Colossus of Swords, which were constantly approaching Lin Yiyan and the others, flickered violently. The metallic resonance that emanated from the colossus's rough body sounded to Lin Yiyan like a cry of sorrow and despair.

That giant is not an automatic weapon for killing. Rather than gathering the mood to meet the only person he remembers again, the dministrator expresses the motivation of the Colossus as desire. And yet—

"Wrong!!" As if in sync with Lin Yiyan's thoughts, Cardinal shouted, "Don't use your words to insult the feelings of who you want to meet again, who you want to contact with, and say that it is desire!" That's—that's, pure love!! The greatest power that humanity has ever had triggered the final miracle...... It's definitely not something that someone like you can play with!! ”

"It's the same, stupid little one." The Administrator twisted his lips in joy and pointed his palms at the Colossus of the Sword, "Love is domination, love is desire!" Its essence is nothing more than a quantum signal output from Fluct Light!! I'm just putting the signal to good use with the highest strength...... Definitely wiser than the means you use!! ”

The Dominator's voice grew louder as if he was convinced of his victory, "All you can do is envelop two or three children!" But I'm different...... The doll I made, if you include memory fragments, is full of the desire energy of more than 300 people! And more importantly—"

There was a brief silence, followed by the other party's words like a deadly poison needle, "With this fact in mind, you can't destroy this puppet!" Because, in a sense, the sword that made up this puppet is also a living person today!! ”

The Administrator's aftermath dragged its long tail in the silence and vanished. Lin Yiyan could only watch in amazement as Cardinal slowly lowered his cane pointing at the Colossus of Sword. Cardinal's next words are surprisingly sound.

"Ahhh......h That's right. The old body can't kill. Only this restriction can never be broken. In order to kill you, who are no longer human, it took two hundred years to hone your skills...... Looks useless. Without hesitation, he admitted his defeat, and Lin Yiyan could only listen to it blankly.

However, it is also true that if the swords that make up this colossus of swords are all living humans, Cardinal cannot take their lives...... I guess it can't be done. Even if there was a way to circumvent this code of action, like Teacup Soup, she wouldn't be able to kill the killer.

Hehe. Dministrator's lips hung high, and his guttural voice spread through the air like silk as if he were grinning patiently.

"How stupid...... How funny......"

Hehehehehe.

"Haven't you already understood the truth of this world? The life that exists here is nothing more than a mere collection of data. Even so, you treat this data as if it were a human being, bound by restrictions that prohibit killing...... It's stupid......"

"No, they're human, Quinera." Cardinal retorted with a tone of admonition, "These people born under orld have real emotions that we don't have. With laughter, joy, and a loving heart. That's why people become human, isn't it? Neither the Light-Cube that holds the soul nor the brain of the body is a matter of essence. The old body believes this. That's why I can accept my failures with pride. ”

The last word she uttered intermittently pierced deep into Lin Yiyan's chest. However, what really hurt me was the words that followed, "But there is one condition." The life of the old body is at your disposal...... In exchange, let the young men escape. ”

“…………！！” Lin Yiyan held his breath and wanted to take a step forward. Eugeo and Alice froze in excitement. However, the silent strong will radiating from Cardinal's petite body hindered Lin Yiyan's actions.

The Administrator narrowed his eyes like a cat playing with its prey with its paws, and slowly tilted his head over, "Ahhh......h What is there to make me accept this condition in such a situation? ”

"As the old man said just now, I honed my technique. If you want to fight, not to mention the action of sealing that poor puppet, even your guy's destiny old body can be cut in half. Under such a heavy load, the limitation of your memory capacity without even a heart is probably even more dangerous, right? ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......" Although the smile didn't disappear, the Administrator put the index finger of his right hand on his cheek and fell into thought, "It's nothing, although I know that the outcome of the battle will not pose a threat to my Fluct Light, but well, it's still a bit of a problem." To "let them escape", you only need to let them fly from this enclosed space to somewhere in the Nether Realm, and the conditions will be satisfied, right? I will never do anything to them in the future, and I will refuse it. ”

"No, just let them retreat for a while. Their words, they will be able to ......" Cardinal's words were not finished. Instead, she turned around for a moment and looked at Lin Yiyan with gentle eyes.

No kidding, Lin Yiyan wanted to shout. This hypocritical life has no qualifications equivalent to Cardinal's real life. Lin Yiyan seriously thought about the idea of waving his sword at the Administrator now to delay the time for Cardinal's departure.

However, Lin Yiyan couldn't do it. Because of such a big gamble, you have to gamble the lives of Eugeo and Alice. His right hand gripped the hilt of the sword, and his right foot stomped on the ground. Just when Lin Yiyan's rationality and impulse were fiercely fighting, the Administrator's voice came, "Well, it's okay. ”

With an innocent smile, the beautiful girl blinked and nodded, "I'll put the fun things behind me too, right?" Well, I swear to Stysia. Take this little guy ......."

"No, not to God, but to the ...... that is most valuable to you Swear by your own Fluct Light. Hearing Cardinal's interruption, the smiling Administrator seemed to smile wryly and nodded again, "Okay, okay, then swear by my Fluct Light and the important data stored in it." I will never break this vow...... It's limited to this period, right? ”

"Okay." Cardinal, who agreed, looked at Eugeo and Alice for a few seconds, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Yiyan. There was a smile on his young face, and his pale brown pupils were full of loving light—Lin Yiyan couldn't hold back the overly huge emotion in his heart and turned into liquid and blurred his vision.

Cardinal moved his lips and said "I'm sorry" in a barely audible voice. The Administrator on the other side, in a high, clear voice, announced "Goodbye, little one".

With a wave of her right hand, the Colossus of the Sword, which had reached the center of the room, stopped. Then the Administrator raised his hand and gestured as if he were holding something, and the particles of light gathered as if they were seeping out of space, turning into an elongated shape.

It was a silver rapier. The blade resembling a steel needle, as well as the sleek blade and hilt, are all perfectly silver-colored. Although it is as ornate as an ornament, from a distance, it is clear that the Rapier hides an overwhelming priority.

There is no doubt that this is the artifact of the Administrator herself, as opposed to Cardinal's black cane—and the strongest spatial resource that supports her technique. With a "click", the silver rapier pointed straight at Cardinal.

Facing forward, the sage was not afraid to point directly at his Excalibur and took a steady step. Alice and Eugeo seem to be going along. And Lin Yiyan stretched out his left hand to stop them.
