Chapter Twenty-Five: Joining... Glorious evolution!
"Develop Amplification Technology!? No, it's absolutely not going to work! Heimerdinger stood in his seat, vehemently worded against it.
"Amplification technology? What is that? ”
Jace had wanted to ask before, but now he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Mechanically alter the body to replace the heart with the primordial gem to continue to power the body."
Camille's eyes shimmered with a bright blue light, full of unmistakable:
"All the sacrifices to protect Piltover are worth it."
"Mechanized body? Is that still human? I'm against it. Caitlin snapped the case.
The parliamentarians were divided into two factions.
The parliamentarians, led by Camille, thought it was worth sacrificing some of the magistrates in exchange for Piltover's peace. The parliamentarians, led by Heimerdinger, believed that the concept of humanity should be maintained.
As they discussed, Victor bent down, leaned over Ryan's ear, and asked softly:
"Your Excellency, is it possible for augmentation technology to become widespread?"
What he wanted to ask was not really universal for all mankind, but whether he could help him to make similar changes. Ryan said that he could heal his body, but even if it was, innate factors would cause him to have physical defects, and he wanted perfection.
Ryan knew that Victor would ask this, and said peacefully: "In my eyes." There are five ways to achieve greatness in the Land of Runeterra. ”
Victor heard Ryan's answer with curiosity on his face, knowing that it was related to his question.
"The first type, the magic channel, has mastered all the runes of the world, and the gods of the Giant God Peak will also surrender. Runemages are the embodiment of this path. ”
"The second is to become a god with martial arts, and to train the most powerful physique in the world, and no one can break through its defenses. Darius of Noxus and Galen of Demacia are among the best in this field. ”
"The third way, breaking through external forces, achieving supreme with the help of demons, voids or all kinds of magical powers, this path is more dependent on opportunities, but it is also accompanied by danger."
"Fourthly, the spirits of nature, there are beings born from the power of faith, and they are born with extremely powerful abilities, and we revere these beings as demigods. Zaun and Piltover have one. ”
"Wind Elf?"
Shocked on his face, Victor blurted out a name, and the legend of the seaside crew being rescued by the wind sounded in his head.
"That demigod is indeed the wind attribute, I haven't seen her true face, but her power appeared a few nights ago, otherwise that collision at Gilamane Manor could destroy 1/4 of Piltover."
"No wonder..."
Victor's face was abrupt, and he continued to look at Ryan with an inquisitive gaze:
"Your Excellency, what about the last one?"
"The last one..."
Ryan glanced at him with a smile and said word by word:
"I named it... The machine soars! ”
"Machine Ascension?"
Victor muttered the word in his mouth, his eyes moved down slightly, looked at his legs that were so thin that they were only bones, and said the guess in his heart:
"Abandon the weak body, keep only the brain, and go to the supremacy with the mechanical body."
After saying that, he himself felt that it was not appropriate, and the change added:
"No... The brain is not necessary, as long as there is a soul, the soul carries consciousness, and a mechanical body can be created, and immortality can be obtained. ”
"Very clear-minded, but why not be bold." Ryan smiled and encouraged, "What is the essence of Hex's crystal?" ”
"It's magic! The Shell Terran fused with the Primordial Crystal to create a self-healing magic. Victor blurted out.
Immediately afterward, the more he thought about it, the more he had ideas, and even though he was still in the council hall, he whispered with some excitement:
"The beauty of machinery is that there are materials that can be made infinitely, and the quantity wins. But ordinary people can't control so many machines that they can be self-aware and not be able to exert their full power..."
"If you use magic or runes to create a core, which is far stronger than the core of the Hex Gem, then you can use it as a carrier, and have the computing power to break through the limits of the human body, every machine can be accurately manipulated, the core is not destroyed, and I will be immortal!"
"The operation method is also very simple, use magic to strip the soul, and then inject the soul into the ascension core, and then link it with runes, and you can also create multiple sub-cores to ensure safety..."
Ryan rubbed the ring on his finger, a transparent barrier enveloping him and Victor without revealing a sound.
He listened carefully to Victor's train of thought, nodded occasionally, and sighed in his heart that the other party was indeed a genius on the technology side.
With such whimsical ideas, he just dared to think about it, and the other party made a plan immediately.
But he doesn't envy it, this kind of inappropriate way is not his way.
“... The initial core can be combined with multiple Hex Gems, and the mechanical body can also be made using it, and it may also require the trouble of transferring the soul to Your Excellency. ”
After listening to Victor's narration, he raised his head slightly and looked solemn:
"Victor, do you understand what it means to abandon the flesh?"
"It means that you can't feel pain, you can't feel weakness, your five senses rely on machinery, and even..."
Victor said, with a rare smile on his face:
"Lose most of your emotions."
"Looks like you've figured it out." Ryan was a little surprised.
Once at the embassy, he had a similar question about Victor, and the root of the question was Zaun and Piltover, but Victor hesitated.
But today's similar question is about himself, and Victor's expression is unusually firm.
"From that night."
Victor glanced at the red-faced Jess who was arguing, and then looked back at the resolute Heimerdinger, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"I'm not sure if this is the only chance I have in my life, but I don't want to leave me with any regrets."
"Including the Piltover girl who followed you to Zaun?" Ryan raised an eyebrow.
He heard a few days ago that the female assistant before Victor swam across the Boundary River overnight and joined Victor's command.
"Skye," Victor was silent for a moment, "she'll understand me, it's the path I've pursued all my life." ”
"If you make up your mind, I will do everything in my power to help you, open all my treasures, in order to see the day when you evolve and ascend." Ryan saw the determination in Victor's eyes and promised himself.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you so much for giving me a glorious evolution. Victor bowed his head and said respectfully.
"Okay, here's what I have to do. The price you paid is worth it. It's time for them to come out of the way, and listen to their crusade against you. Ryan laughed.
"The price... From the moment you emboldened me to stand at the Dividing Bridge, I decided to offer all my allegiance, Lord Meredith. Victor meditated in his heart, remembering the kindness of the other party deeply.
He looked up and looked at the familiar anomalies in front of him.
In the end, Jace was persuaded and the Parliament approved Camille's application for all-out war by five votes.
But Jace's support is conditional, and the condition is that Camille can show the strength of amplification technology and crusade... He, Zaun's number one rebel, Victor.
How ironic that in his deepest despair, it was Lord Meredith from Noxus who came to his aid and promised him a glorious future.
And the teachers and partners he was familiar with rejected his ideas again and again, and vetoed the ideals he hoped for in his heart, even if it could completely eradicate the contradictions between Zaan and Piltover.
From the beginning, only His Excellency Meredith recognized his loyalty and worth.
Victor looked up at the council chamber where the results had come out, his eyes filled with fascination.
The glorious evolution is about to begin! He presented himself to the Lord Meredith a perfect repertoire.
