Chapter 459: Reins
"You hold the fate of this world in your hands."
I don't know how long it took, a voice sounded in Song Lan's head.
The voice sounded familiar, yet far away from him, and as the psionic energy continued to pour in, his thoughts were pulled back to a more distant point in time.
In the chaos and darkness, there seemed to be an electric current running through his brain.
Then came the cheers from the crowd, and before he regained his gaze, the first thing that caught his eye was a string of complex codes that recorded his physical state in detail at the moment.
For most people, the moment of their birth is mostly in the hospital, where doctors cut the bond between them and their mothers, bringing them into the world.
But for the Colossus, his birth was not in the Prosthetic Hospital, but in the research institute, which was filled with sophisticated research equipment, and a group of enthusiastic researchers were surrounding him, selflessly celebrating this historic moment.
He looked around and found a familiar face at the front of the crowd.
Professor Myers.
At this time, the professor was in the prime of life, and his hand holding the research data was trembling slightly with excitement.
Immediately afterward, some broken memories flooded back.
In this shattered memory, he saw a mad scientist, mad enough to order his assistants to strip his brain from his body and transplant it into a cold machine, believing that only by abandoning the weak body could human consciousness lead to eternity.
It's really crooked.
Who would abandon his body and turn himself into an experimental subject of this crazy project?
Then, he finally realized the state of the moment.
He couldn't sense his hands and feet, so he could only maintain his current perspective, unable to move.
The eyes are prosthetic eyes, the ears are hearing aids, and the mouth is ......
He was simply unable to communicate with people properly.
He had no body, and the part below his neck was placed on the platform of the laboratory, which was a mechanical head that carried consciousness.
However, this state of affairs did not bother him, and he quickly learned how to communicate consciousness directly into the minds of others without sound, and the first time he did so, he frightened the researcher in charge of observing him out of the laboratory.
Gradually, the Colossus discovers that consciousness is much more powerful than that.
Thinking took the place of his hands and feet, allowing him to do almost anything he wanted with his mind alone, without the help of his physical body, and in the long process, Professor Myers made the Colossus understand one thing.
He has been freed from the shackles of human beings and has become a being above humans.
However, the strength of consciousness is far from the ultimate goal, and they are trying to create a suitable body for him, which will be an unprecedented receiving and releasing device, enough to allow him to reach a level that has never been touched by humans, and this will also be a milestone in the history of psionic research.
……
Immediately afterwards, the picture that Song Lan perceived began to distort, and all the memories became disordered, as if they were forcibly crushed by some external force, and they were filled with some pictures that were completely unrelated to him, and his perspective left the research institute and reached a higher dimension.
What he sees is no longer a specific research institute, nor does he hear the voice and troubles of a certain person, but instead of the changes in the world.
The concept of time has become blurred.
He watched as an ordinary city was transformed into the Seventh District, where the natives were driven out and droids took over the vacant positions, and then Daystar Academy took root in the land, and the first batch of students handpicked by the coalition government arrived in the city.
The building symbolizing the law of the coalition government was built in the 6th arrondissement, and they named it "Libra", which is the commitment of every legal practitioner to fairness and justice.
He also watched the coalition government begin to explore the "outside world", and explorers with a strong sense of curiosity, a bright vision for the future, and a strong sense of adventure left their hometowns to join the gold rush.
……
He is in God's perspective, witnessing the changes in the coalition government and the world in a vague timeline.
As for where he came from, what his name was, or why he woke up in the Institute as a conscious body, these questions of the individual have long since ceased to matter, as he has a much more important mission.
"You hold the fate of this world in your hands."
That's what Professor Myers said.
When his gaze is on a particular person, he will see where they lead—and that's where Ward 7 is important.
The fate of each of them will affect the future of the coalition government and the world.
Someday, someone will release these shadows that hover over them.
If they return to this world one day, these children will be the blades that will break through the scourge.
That's right.
He holds the fate of all in his hands.
To be the guardian of this world is his mission from the moment the first electric current crosses his brain, summoning his consciousness back to reality from the chaos of nothingness.
Everything that Song Lan felt and knew came to an end.
Because another strong consciousness rejected his continued exploration, both parties returned to reality from the ethereal timeline at the same time.
Appeared in this black pyramid beyond everyone's consciousness, at the top of the staircase, before the throne.
The black wave was driven out, and the huge body of the colossus actually moved at this moment.
"Your destiny is to be destroyed here!"
The voice of the Colossus was no longer mixed with any panic, and the silver-white starlight that had been rekindled was bright enough to stand up to the darkness.
He is a god who controls his destiny.
Although, at this moment, in the eyes of the gods, there is a picture that the gods should never see.
It was a dense patch of code, just as it had seen when its consciousness had just been awakened, and it was informing the program of running errors, and the parts that were out of his control, and the consciousness was exceeding the load that metal and machinery could carry, making him feel like he was burning.
The Colossus understood that the shadow above his head was playfully watching all this, and that standing in front of him at this moment was the man whom Professor Miles had mentioned.
Only this time, as a god, he could not see a clear future.
But none of that matters anymore.
As long as he can destroy the person in front of him, he has completed his mission.
At the same time, the raging black waves also rushed towards him like a tsunami, and surrounded by the waves, his body and throne became a lonely boat in the ocean.
In the midst of the stormy waves, the Colossus heard a voice.
- "Ambwere." ”
- "It's your name. ”
