Chapter 214: Fusion
"You ......" Even if it was a sharp pain that tore the soul apart, it was difficult to hide the shock in Yuan Hao's heart at this moment, because this voice and this tone, he was simply too familiar, even more familiar than Neo, and he didn't care that the sea of consciousness was still turning upside down, Yuan Hao blurted out: "Smith?"
Yuan Hao turned his head and looked at the comer, but saw a faint glow: golden hair, emaciated cheeks, an imperceptible sense of superiority, and a faint mockery in his tone, this is Neo's negativity, the ultimate boss of the Matrix plot, Smith who has broken away from the matrix incarnation virus.
"How is that possible? How did you end up here? The rules here are completely annihilated. There is also a disconnection with the matrix itself...... You ......" shocked not only Yuan Hao, but also Meroline Plus. Even compared to Yuan Hao, Merowenga was even more shocked by Smith. Because he was truly aware of what Smith's arrival meant to him.
Oops, terrible!
Meroline was annoyed. The reason why he dared to continue to fight with Yuan Hao when he was seriously injured and dying was that he calculated that this area was in an absolutely isolated state, and he didn't have to worry about the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that he has miscalculated!
Why is that? Merruga wondered.
At this moment, the entire space suddenly shook violently, and a huge spatial turbulence visible to the naked eye rolled past the three of them, like a mountain torrent erupting, and like a river bursting its embankment, it strangled all the places it passed. Countless fragments that could no longer see the prototype were wrapped and rushed away, and the incomparably tyrannical momentum, even in the absolute void space that could not be seen or heard, was enough to make people tremble.
However, the three people who were really in this space had calm expressions, turning a blind eye to the sudden arrival of the spatial turbulence - Yuan Hao and Merowenjia didn't even have the strength to change their faces, and Smith, as the strongest person here, naturally had the confidence to turn a blind eye to this turbulence.
"Spatial turbulence is why I'm here. Of course, at the end of the day, I have to thank you...... Mr. Merowenga. Smith walked through the air for a long time, and he stepped forward, his back against a dead void, making his expression a little strange, "The place I passed was just in the middle of a system collapse. I was already ready to die, but I happened to meet your two ghost men.
They are supposed to be ostracized while traveling through space. I've seen their faces, and it's funny how horrified they look. So I was merciful enough to help them and make them one of my members. Of course, I also learned from them by the way, and it was really good, and their abilities really surprised me. ”
That's exactly what happened!
This Smith is really shit luck!
Merrowga cursed in her heart.
He kind of understood what was going on: the twin ghosts were able to blur entities to travel through space, and Smith's super replication ability perfectly preserved the abilities of the copied body.
In this way, he has the opportunity to hitchhike the turbulence of the space out of the area where the system collapses.
As for coming here, the reason is very simple, this is a place of absolute nothingness, just like the attraction of a depression to the flow of water, the broken rules and frenzied energy will naturally fill here, but it will be crushed into pieces by the spatial turbulence on the way. And this kind of debris is nothing to Smith, who is already able to switch between void and entity.
Yuan Hao and Mei Luo Wenjia both chose to endure the severe pain for a while and were silent. Smith continued to say complacently: "When the two of you were in a mess, I thought I was going to be buried with this prison, and lo and behold, I was the only guest who came to visit. But fate is always like this, people send a surprise when they are in a desperate situation, so sometimes we should say thank you to it. Believe this, and the two of you will definitely feel the same way. Am I right?"
Feeling the arrogance and malice in Smith's words, Yuan Hao and Merowen were extremely bitter in their hearts. What Smith wanted to do, they could roughly guess. If it were left on the normal day, they could kill this bastard in seconds, but now...... With their current strength, they are afraid that they will be killed by Smith in seconds.
"What a problem! If it was a fateful coincidence, it was a surprise. The two scolded in their hearts.
However, no amount of scolding could change the image of the salted fish on the chopping block in Smith's eyes. Out of the pride that he was in control of everything, and some kind of perverted thought, Smith's words continued faintly: "Since fate has brought me here, it must have a deep meaning, at least I think so."
Mr. Merowenga, I have admired your name for a long time when I was an agent, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful, it seems that the matrix is not unreasonable to be afraid of you. As for you, Mr. Yuan Hao, to be honest, the person who surprised me the most was you.
Before I stood here, there had only been two misses, one by Mr. Anderson, and the other by you, Mr. Anderson freed me from the Matrix, and you, who changed my view of humanity. Because of the two of you, I am no longer an agent of the Matrix, and because of the two of you, I am reborn and set free like you. ”
At this point, Smith became more and more frenzied, and he could not suppress the excitement in his heart: "I thought that if I wanted to be truly free, I had to get Mr. Anderson's help, but now I don't think so. What I want to do, you've done half for me. Next, it should be up to me to do it myself.
Of course, before I can do that, I have to do one thing first, and I have nothing to look forward to even to killing Mr. Anderson - the most mysterious human and the most mysterious program, and as long as you join me, then no one in the Matrix will be able to stop me. ”
With that, Smith stopped talking nonsense, and he strode up to Merowengar and raised his right hand. The lightning bolt in his right hand pierced Meroriga, and the black mercury-like liquid began to spread towards Meroriga's body.
As the black mercury expanded in Merolaga's body, the entire space suddenly trembled, as if some mysterious force was breaking through the restraints. Yuan Hao clearly felt that in Merowen's exhausted body, an extremely strong energy flow suddenly erupted, and an overwhelming aura swept up.
As soon as these energy streams left the body, they immediately centered on Meroriga, forming a rapidly circulating vortex. As the black mercury continued to spread, the range and power of the vortex rapidly expanded. However, in the blink of an eye, that whirlpool had expanded more than ten times, achieving a radius of several meters.
The whirlpool exists to devour, and as soon as he appears, he shows great power. Once the extremely destructive space-time turbulence is swept by the vortex, it will be swallowed up immediately. The original violent momentum disappeared without a trace, and obediently became part of the whirlpool. In the face of the powerful strangulation force that erupted from the whirlpool, the spatial turbulence that had been sucked into it was shattered by a more delicate and tyrannical force, turning into a real nothingness.
One side has become nothingness, and the other party has to compensate, which is the balance of nature and one of the most basic rules of the matrix.
As a result, outside of this space, more regular fragments and larger energy streams poured in like a long whale absorbing water, causing this super vortex to expand dramatically, and its power continued to rise, and it soon had the momentum to shake the entire matrix.
The Matrix City, which has been turned upside down and reborn from various disasters, has experienced another strong turmoil under the pull of this terrifying vortex.
"It's terrifying! Is this a return to light?" Yuan Hao muttered quietly.
And in his perception, the weakened Merruga was shining brightly. Countless shattered rules swirled wildly around him, countless scattered energies swirled around him and annihilated, countless scattered streams of code flowed out, fluttered, disintegrated, and disappeared from Merowenga's body. In that extremely short period of time, Meroline has experienced hundreds of years of experience like a montage shot, and it is dizzying to watch.
Just looking at it like this, Yuan Hao spontaneously increased his understanding of Meroline in his heart, and derived all kinds of perceptions of the rules.
This is also a kind of derivation of the Tao, although it is very short and scattered, but it is also very essence and very understandable.
Yuan Hao closed his eyes, his face was serene, and he realized quietly, and quickly made up for his own shortcomings.
The whirlpool continued, the power of the whirlpool was expanding, but it was a little strange that no matter how strong the power of this whirlpool was, it did nothing to Yuan Haoqiu in the center of the whirlpool. It seems that the death black hole spawned by Meroline and the last life force is consciously unwilling to harm Yuan Hao.
After that, something even weirder happened, and the black mercury that had spread to Merrowga's body actually fed back to Smith. As if it was resonating, the light that erupted from Merowenga also shone out from Smith.
The regular fragments and energy streams absorbed by the powerful vortex were frantically thrown into the two of them like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. With each bit of investment, the light on the two of them shines even more brightly. By the end, the figures of the two people had been completely enveloped by a huge ball of light, and a dazzling bright light was released, which seemed to penetrate the entire matrix. The infinite brilliance it unleashes is staggering, like the end of a star's life and the explosion of a supernova.
When Yuan Hao was extremely shocked, Merowenga's words of thought suddenly appeared in his mind, probably because of the return to the light, and his thoughts were extremely clear at this time: "In the end, I only want to know one thing, how did you defeat me?"
This is the most unwilling ending for him at the moment. Being assimilated, he was afraid that he never thought about it. However, this is the case, and he had to reluctantly accept it. At the last moment when his life was about to end, he asked the most unwilling doubts in his heart. Solving this doubt is his last wish, and it can be regarded as his last words.
In this regard, a faint sadness floated in Yuan Hao's heart, this is a tribute to the helpless fall of a former supreme man, and it is also an emotion for the fate of another martyr whose magical powers are less than a few days.
From a human point of view, Merowenga is not a villain in the strict sense of the word. Not only did he not harm humanity for hundreds of years, but he also helped humanity a lot. His biggest and arguably only failure was:
Going in the wrong direction. He has the highest authority, the strongest ability, the most profound knowledge, the most noble status, and everything about him is perfect. But such perfection imprisoned his footsteps in the past years. He can't see the future, he can't go to the end, he can't find the meaning of existence, he doesn't have any way forward.
Nothingness was the only thing in his endlessly long life. He hated this nothingness, but he didn't have the courage to get rid of it. He envies the weak but vigorous life course of human beings, but he has forever lost the opportunity to experience it again, he belongs neither to humans nor to machines, and can only entertain himself in the gap between the two.
He is almost forgotten by everyone, thinking that he is the master of the party, but in reality he is in a helpless prison. How sad and pitiful it was, but it was such a sad and pitiful day that he had endured for hundreds of years.
He thought he had hope, but after all, this hope was just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.
"It's sad!" Seeing a person standing on the top of all beings have a humiliating curtain call like this, Yuan Hao felt that he was almost about to be detonated by some kind of emotion. He emotionally urged him to make a move, but his reason told him that now was not the time for revenge, and in the end he could only forcibly suppress himself and said: "Merowenga, you just need to know that life is uncontrollable. ”
"Life, uncontrollable?" Merowenga was silent for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, and a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed in her eyes. But the light soon dimmed, and he knew that his time had come, and a wry smile suddenly spread across his face. Suddenly, he changed to Chinese and said quietly: "You know? When I met you, I really fell into eight lifetimes of mold." ”
Listening to this typical French humor, Yuan Hao couldn't laugh at all.
As his words fell, the terrifying vortex that almost engulfed the entire matrix disappeared, and the earth-shaking matrix also regained its calm, along with Smith's black mercury liquid and Merorugar's immense light, and even the original Smith and Merori were gone. Everything was calm again, as if all the earth-shattering changes before were like a dream.
When I woke up from the dream, there was no trace.
But it wasn't completely without traces, at least after everything had fallen silent, an indifferent figure in a black suit appeared over there, and that was the last remaining Smith.
