In fact, when Fisher saw the mist-shrouded and beautiful Sanctuary outside as it was thousands of years ago, the first question that came to Fisher's mind was,

"Why did Harmon do that?"

If it's really just like Harmon Harmon said, if he wants to ask Fisher for an answer, then he only needs to invite him alone, why invite Hook Kiss and other Chaos species to come here for a banquet?

What's more, in the end, the document that Harmon asked them to open was opened with David's help.

In retrospect, many of Harmon Hammon's preparations were of no use at all, as if they had asked Fisher and them to come on a sightseeing tour and then give Fisher the completed manual along with a portion of his authority.

That's not a valid reason at all, unless.

A bold thought rushed into Fisher's mind, causing him to clench his teeth and accelerate all the way inside the crumbling, violently shaking Vault space around him, sprinting towards his original location.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

From the ceiling and walls, large chunks of masonry fell, and from behind the masonry, a blur of flesh and blood accompanied it, reminding Fisher of the critical condition of the Fisher Vault.

But he still rushed back without hesitation, and when he passed through the previous door, the mycelium inside was still the same, and the figure with the head of the snake was still standing in front of the screen, reading the information above word by word.

His calm back contrasted with the broken, rickety space around him, and it caught Fisher's eye at once.

When he heard the footsteps walking into this space behind him, the tail behind Harmon shook slightly, and he turned his head, his eyes stained with a touch of puzzlement,

"Mr. Fisher, why are you back? Do you want to take away the handbook? Actually, there is no need for that."

"I'm not here to finish the manual, and it's not really important to finish the manual. What I hope for is that I read all the manuals so that I can be completely insulated from the effects of chaos through the precious nature within me, and a complete manual corresponds to a kind of authority, right, Harmon Hamon? Or rather, I should call you, Mikhail. ”

“.”

The graceful back of the snake man in front of him finally turned his head a little after hearing Fisher's words, his eyes completely included Fisher's figure, and after a long silence, he suddenly said,

"When did you find out that I was in a relationship with Mikhail?"

"Just now."

Fisher raised his steps and slowly walked towards the figure of the snake man, and as he walked that way, Fisher said,

"Because I can't think of a reason for you to do all this, invite me and Hook Kiss here, and Pisces they're actually invited by you, right? You've also recreated the Sanctuary and made things that resemble angels, and I don't baffle Hamon for a reason to do so, but the file I just saw inspired me. ”

Fisher looked at the snake man in front of him and said word by word,

"If it's Mikhail, then it makes sense to do all this."

In that file, Fisher saw Mikhail's stated love for the Sanctuary during that time, his concern for Asuka Karasawa and the Creation Society, and even the name of the file was "Project Fisher".

Just by seeing the archive, Fisher's memories seem to be taken back to time 10,000 years ago

So.

"You invited me, you invited the hook kiss, you invited the ocean, that is, the angel of Helaire, except for the polluted Asuka that you already knew, the rest of the people who still existed, you invited back then, and you just wanted to see us again, right?"

“.”

And Fisher had already walked in front of him at this moment, he looked at the expressionless snake man in front of him, he knew that this was nothing more than his incarnation,

"There was another point that caught my attention. In that file, you said that you created a new intelligent structure for David, which can get rid of the drawbacks of the previous algorithm-based and network-based memory. But in fact, this technique didn't really apply to David, did it?

"I thought carefully about the process of talking to David in the past, and found that he still relies on the Internet and algorithms, otherwise he would not have completely lost his memory after the Internet was disconnected, and he didn't even know where you and Michael went. And at this time, I remembered an incident from the past."

Remember Hrdor in the North?

That is, at that time, by Valentina's side, through the technology provided by the cardinal of the Creation Society, the consciousness of Valentina's teacher was completely copied into the cardinal, and there was no soul in Hardor's body, only the cardinal's light, which proves that the copied consciousness is actually an artificial intelligence, an artificial intelligence that inherits the thoughts and memories of a truly living person.

And that is the new intelligent structure that Mikhail successfully researched and handed over to the Society of Creation!

"You made a copy of Michael's consciousness and a part of your consciousness, and emptied the memories and put them into David's body as your child, so that's why he has the appearance of an angel. But if that's the case, a new system of conscious intelligence should not be affected by the disconnection and lose memory, which is different from the new intelligent structure you described. His intelligent structure has been replaced, right?

"I don't know why, and I can only speculate so much now, but I can now be extremely sure that you are Mikhail, or that you are a part of him, because I can also feel the breath of incarnate authority from you. Mikhail, back then, what really happened? ”

“.”

The snake man in front of him became more and more silent, his eyes lowered for a moment, and after a long time, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, squeezing out a trace of Fisher's familiar humanity from the thick divinity,

"Fisher, you are always so perceptive to other people's thoughts, so that those women's thoughts can be guessed by you and become entangled with you."

Fisher opened his mouth, because when he opened his mouth at this moment, it seemed to confirm that Fisher's speculation was close to the truth.

However, I don't know if I'm Mikhail or not. Maybe I'm am, maybe I'm a new, alienated Harmon Hamon, and the two aren't contradictory, and it doesn't matter now anyway, because I'm dying."

"You"

"What happened to me back then?"

He spat out the letter and turned his head to look in the direction of the instrument.

"You're right, that's how David was born in the first place, and it's all my fault why he later turned back into a primary intelligence that would be affected by the internet outage. In fact, since the beginning of the war, the chaos in my body has begun to stir. In the process, I learned more about Him. ”

The snake man raised his hand and described to Fisher how a god lived,

"Harmon Hamon's authority predestined him to constantly undergo radical qualitative changes, his memories are sealed, but his body and consciousness change irregularly. To Him, this change is no different from our death. A new Hamon has just been born out of a radical metamorphosis, and before He can learn and understand His past memories, He may be qualitatively transformed by authority, which is equivalent to losing it again, and everything will be wiped out."

Fisher's mouth opened wide, and when he listened carefully, he actually felt that the ecology of the god Hamon Hamon was like,

"A mayfly dying in the twilight of life."

"Yes, so no matter which Harmon Harmon is looking for the Immutable at all costs, it is also because he joined the Dream Covenant to invade this world."

"But that doesn't explain why you and Him are the way you are."

"From the beginning I knew He existed, I knew what He was seeking. It's just that I'm too superficial, and I just treat Him as a chaotic confrontation, and I keep consuming each other with Him. Until the situation of the mythical war became more and more severe. I was always concerned about Michael's safety, I couldn't bear to see him hurt in the war, I couldn't bear to lose him.

"But the worst thing happened, the power of the Mother Goddess overturned the Sanctuary, and he suffered great trauma in it, and when he returned to my side in the spirit world, he was already there."

The snake man's eyes flickered, and Fisher couldn't help but look at the phantom of Michael and Mikhail that appeared under the white mycelium, just as they had seen before, Michael had a broken arm, his whole body was scarred, the illusory wings behind him were broken, and the aura on his head became extremely dim.

This is, a sign of checkmate.

"I looked at his dying appearance, I couldn't believe it, I couldn't accept his departure, I couldn't at all. Do you know how long he's been with me? Seven thousand years, seven thousand years. He has long been a part of my life, and I am willing to give everything and give everything for him not to leave. So at that time, I came up with a way to save him, even if it was just his consciousness. ”

Looking at that scene, Fisher's pupils shrank, and he suddenly thought of something and said to the snake man,

"You weren't going to do the same and copy Michael's consciousness into David's body, did you?"

"That's right."

The snake man closed his eyes and said frankly to Fisher,

"At that time, I panicked, I really didn't want to lose Michael, so I freed up my body for Michael's consciousness, so I uploaded the backup of David's consciousness in another shelter and reset it to an artificial intelligence that was no different from before. It was at that time that the more anxious I was, the more active the chaos in my body became. The alienation virus was born and spread from all directions of me, not only from this refuge, but also from the Internet.

He was about to upload Michael's consciousness, but at that moment, Michael came to his senses. He watched me upload David's consciousness reset to the Internet in order to save him, and saw that I didn't care about the chaos that had spread in order to save him, but he just looked at me with those eyes that haunted me, and told me his choice"

"Boom!"

The sound of collapse around him became more and more intense, and the lights began to flicker and dim, beating the figure of the snake man in front of him to flicker and darken.

At this strange moment, under the mycelium in the distance, the scene of the two embracing each other suddenly became vivid as if they had come to life.

The mycelium above also vibrated constantly, simulating the sound of the time as if it were familiar with the road.

Fisher heard Mikhail's voice first,

"I can't lose you. I. I already see you as an integral part of my life and can't stand any changes anymore I'd rather die with you if you die"

“.”

In silence, Fisher finally heard Michael's genderless voice again, but compared to the arrogance of 10,000 years ago, his voice was faint at this moment, but with a gentleness that he had spent thousands of years together,

"Mikhail. We have always been independent. From now on, we will truly become one."

Mikhail lowered his head and hugged Michael's body tightly, and then he heard Michael's last words whispered,

"My change is your immutability, David's immutability, as long as you remember me, I will live forever."

“.”

Listening to Michael's soft words, Fisher seemed to understand what Michael meant.

Michael did not want Michael to upload his consciousness into David's body in this way and replace it, so that although he seemed to be unchanged, David's consciousness would disappear and be changed

Michael didn't want Mikhail to ignore the good life he had lived for him, he knew Mikhail's kindness, but now Mikhail wanted to connive at the chaos and slaughter the spiritual refuge for him, and he wanted to indulge the rest of the spiritual and real beings to be infected by Hamon Hamon's non-self

For the sake of Michael's immutability, is it necessary to make Mikhail's original kindness and gentleness like this?

So, rather than this, Michael preferred to enter into the "change of death" himself, and to keep Mikhail and their child David unchanged.

Because of this, he rejected Mikhail's desire to upload his consciousness into David's body.

"What should I do?"

The sound of the vault was silent for a long time, and then Fisher heard Mikhail's choked voice from the mycelium.

In response to him was Michael's calm and relieved voice,

"Turn off the internet, seal everything here, and fight the chaos within you to defeat Him. I'm sure you can do it, right, Mikhail. ”

"Buzz!"

The voice stopped abruptly, and at this point, Fisher finally knew why the internet was disconnected, and why this place was sealed here.

The snake man's voice was sad, as if the expressionless ethereal spirit had finally been stirred up by the dusty memory at this moment, and he said softly,

"I did as I was told, I shut down the internet, put the reset consciousness of David back into his body, and then I sat here with the dead Michael in my arms, fighting against the chaos of Hamon and Hamon."

"You won."

"No, maybe I lost."

The snake man smiled bitterly, he looked at Fisher and said,

Michael's words not only brought me back to the brink, but also made it seem as if Harmon had found a possible solution to his immutable problem.

"[My change is your constant].

"So He ate my consciousness and made me a complete part of Him, a part of me who is not under the influence of my authority"=
