"—I lost my name a long time ago."

Torkifate whispered, "My parents, my life, my past, my future. My everything.

"When I was chosen to become Torkifat, I parted with those things."

His voice was soaked with unspeakable pain, like rancid and sour wine. "Liliane."

Without warning, the young man spat out a name: "I regard her as my sister who is not related by blood."

There was sweet love in his voice. But from his words, there was only hatred as dirty as mud and jealousy as poisonous fire. "I'm not the only one... All of us love her. And not just because of her cute appearance, smart and likable. It's because she's the most lustful of us.

"We call each other 'number,' Not only to call yourself, but also to address others. According to our education, when we are selected as a candidate for the name of the elf, it means that we give up our past life and future possibilities.

"One of us will be 'Torkifate,' And learn some knowledge for this world in advance, build your own body until you are perfect, and inherit that divine name in the future.

"We have a strictly restricted diet every day, and we need to maintain targeted exercise under the guidance of experts. This includes exercising physical fitness and maintaining posture. It also includes the maintenance of skin, teeth and eyesight, sleeping according to the prescribed schedule every day, and learning a lot of knowledge and honing your skills under the guidance of experts."

「... It's hard work."

There was pity in Kübler's voice.

It's like a mother who feels sorry for her child, and if she has a soft and warm body, she may embrace him in her arms.

But alas, she's just an Al.

"It's hard work, but it's also very happy. Even if I later became the 'Great Lord', and then became the elven director of the high... But I still think it was the best time of my life. Surrounded by like-minded friends, there are girls who want to pursue, and every day maintains a healthy and regular full life, and every day is better than the previous day, and his body is carefully polished like a jewel. We imagined the future and secretly chatted about our worries and ideals in our bedtime dormitory.

"We jokingly made a pact that whoever became 'Torquifat' would go with everyone else. What he is carrying is not just one person's ideal, but everyone's dream for the future.

"But we all know that there is only one person who can make his wish come true. In order to bring ourselves closer to perfection, we obey all orders from our superiors. Of course, it also includes 'forgetting your name,'

"In retrospect, there was actually an omen at that time." The corners of Tokifat's mouth rose slightly.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Why should we forget our names? Perhaps they are actually implying that no one can return to society from the moment they enter the facility. The one who left simply disappeared... As long as they leave, they risk revealing the secrets of the Mother Tree facility."

His smile was empty and cold. It's like mocking the migratory birds in winter.

"Seven, Lillian. She always emphasized her name to each of us, claiming that even if she became a Torquifat, she would never forget her past, her origins.

"That's what makes me the first thing, the reason why I'm proud to stand here, and the answer to why I'm so good. Not only did she disobey the admonition of the management, but she also secretly told me to recall my name and remember my dream now, and not to throw it away in the future."

She was so brilliant at that time. It is also natural to be loved by people. She is like a diamond in the sun, deflecting colorful light under the sun's radiance. Everyone can find the color in their hearts from her.

"She's good enough to even call her a genius. As a teenager, he became an excellent mage, wielding more than twenty spells; He also became a bachelor's degree in engineering mechanics and mechanical design, and he is particularly good at it

Running and jumping. She was third among us in the long run, and I managed to run 14th with all my might. And her sprinting and jumping ability are the first, and her petite body has strong explosive power.

"So even if she was a little rebellious, she still became Torkifate. And the seven people who reached the final step were all convinced and sent their blessings.

"Because of her excellence and loveliness, we have long since given up on the dream of becoming Torquifat, so there is no sense of loss. We've been talking about what we're going to do when we get out..."

"What about you?"

Kübler asked softly, "What did you originally want to do?"

"I..."

Speaking of this, Torkefate was stunned for a moment.

He was silent for a while, then smiled sadly, "It's been so long, I've forgotten.

"At the time, we watched the Inheritance Ritual go on for so long and felt that something was wrong. According to Lillian's level of excellence, she should be able to complete the inheritance, receive the knowledge and name of the sage, and become the new 'Tokifat'.

"I found out then — because she's resisting. She did everything she could to keep her personality from being erased. If she had resisted to the death, she would have died with a headshot during the ceremony. Leaving us eliminated to be the 'spare tire', that's what it is.

"And if she can't resist Tokephat's consciousness and completes the ritual, then we'll all lose our value and be frozen in ice, and if Tokhit dies in a few years, then we can be activated. If more than ten years have passed, then we will all be destroyed - because the times have progressed, and we who were excellent more than ten years ago are no longer the best choice. The facility will begin to prepare new offerings.

"But there was value in her struggle. It was her stubborn resistance that tore part of Tokifat's consciousness apart when the ritual was interrupted; It was because of the damage to the instrument that it did not erase my consciousness.

"—otherwise, I wouldn't have survived."

Torkifate said, his expression returning to serenity, "In other words, it was because the Church sent angels to bomb the 'Rebirth Facility' that I had hope of surviving.

"The church didn't just save my life; I'm not just here to survive.

"Just as we promised at the time......

"Whoever becomes Torquiphat will move forward with everyone's dreams.

"I can't fulfill their dreams. Because I was only an inferior product all along, my inheritance was not even complete, and I did not receive the fate and power that belonged to Torkifate. I've never been the best, not even the top three.

"One by one, but I can avenge them. What killed them, the bombing of the church? I don't think so, but rather that the church liberated them. Liberate Lillian and I from our destined fate. Without the church, they would have died the same, and they would have died without knowing it.

"This is just a resurrection facility. There should be eighty-three more such facilities.

"Hundreds of children have been sacrificed to the future, tampered with by the rituals of the inheritance. And many more people don't even deserve to know the truth, and they completely dissipate in the confusion.

"They're all so good—far better than the vast majority of people in this society!

"Why! Why should those who don't even know what they are living for live live comfortably, while we—must die?!"

Tokifat's words were filled with resentment and anger.

He casually removed the crimson halo from the head of an angel behind him.

At the same time that the angel fell to the ground, the aura was placed on the pedestal by him.

And Kübler just looked at it all and whispered, "So, you're not just trying to get revenge on the Mother Tree System."

"Because that's all I can really do. Speaking of taunting, I only recently learned that Lillian didn't

died, but became the leader of the Tower of Babel. And they've been using this virus to destroy the reincarnation ability of the Raider Elves - even the idea of revenge, I'm a little later than her."

As he waited for the data to upload, Torkefate looked up at Kübler's body and sighed softly, "I'm still inferior to her.

"But after all, I have completely different places with her."

"What?"

"She's always been a good person."

Torkiphat looked at Kübler, "But I'm not.

「… At least, not anymore."

The next moment, all the dim yellow lights in the room suddenly lit up with a red light representing a warning.

The brilliant golden wall was covered with dark red warnings in an instant! All the networks on the entire island of happiness were suddenly cut off. All screens have become "No Signal" and all web pages have become "Connection Failed". All means of communication have disappeared, all intelligent operating systems have failed, and various car accidents and accidents have spread all over the island.

People looked at each other, panicked and confused.

And the eyes of the "mecha" that was hanging high in the air, like the Holy Son of Suffering, suddenly lit up with two red lights. It's like a long-dormant case finally waking up.

"You're doing a great job."

A young man's voice came from it.

Calm and confident. Never hesitate, only me.

It was different from the old voice that the Pope had shown him in front of Russell at the beginning. It sounds like only twenty or thirty years old, which is the period when men's creativity, physical strength, wisdom and other comprehensive levels are at their peak.

This is Andrew's "perfect self!" that he has restored through AI calculations.

Tokifat got down on one knee very naturally.

"Salute to you, my Pope."

He said respectfully, "We don't have much time, and bad days and bad ones can come back at any time - please start now."
