Cyan flames snaked down through the dark shadows, like blood flowing.

The blade turned an angle, widening the crack that spread out in all directions, and the tide of light that was approaching and about to engulf the intruder came to a halt as if it had lost momentum.

Li Wu continued to push the Kurigala sword forward, peeling away the shell that covered it in the silent groans of the black shadow.

The black patches begin to peel off from the cracks, revealing the same appearance as the replicants encountered earlier.

He raised his right hand and tried to grasp the blade that had emerged from his back, but retracted from the heat of the flames.

In the end, the swamp man who had inherited the position and memories of the former president could not say anything, and Li Wu withdrew his sword, leaving a fatal hole in his chest, and he fell so quietly and fell down in the middle of the white space.

Later, a small irregular cube floats out of the hollow into the air, stretching out branch-like black lines that make its presence particularly strong against the background.

The gravity of this space, located in Adam's mind, seemed to be quite weak, and it took Li Wu a while to fall to a position that should be defined as ground.

He picked up the restored Ascalon and stood against it for a moment.

And Adam not only caused physical damage to the waves, but also a loss of mental strength, and the mortal blow that combined multiple abilities can cause equal damage to both material and spirit.

Now there are constant signals of dull pain in the head, and the semicircular canals are protesting.

Dragging the giant sword that was longer than his own behind him, Li Wu walked in front of the cube and raised the Kurigala sword that he held in his right hand.

This thing should be the core.

The name "Adam" is a philosophical concept that exists in religion.

The sect that coined the term believes that it is a symbol of the anthropomorphic upright posture of the Kabbalah tree, which has become famous with the spread of popular culture, representing the unity of man and God, the state of perfection before the fall of man.

The Song Project should have taken this part of the theory rudely to explain the birth mechanism of superpowers, and tried to step over the occult cultivation rituals required to theoretically achieve this realm, and directly uproot people into perfect creatures.

It can only be said that it is very unified.

As the knowledge of Adam's nature flowed through his mind, the sword of wisdom burst out with more and more power.

He swung his raised blade and slashed easily into the cube that looked like it was wrapped in a twig.

Click-

There was a crisp sound like a hammer smashing a walnut.

On the outermost side of Hanayacho, the bay that once bordered the Lembongan Mansion has gradually subsided from the storm and endless strife.

The magnificent Angel of Light ceased its activity, and the sea dragon Leviathan on the other side had just plunged headlong into the depths, regardless of whether the summoner was still alive or not.

As the sea breeze softened, an endless stream of light poured out from the depths of Adam's cracked skull.

The white flames spread outward like a sacred aura crowning them, and the clouds that had been regathered were blown away in an instant, revealing a clear sky that seemed to be smoothed, and the hurricane caused a stirring of the sea again.

This time, however, there is nothing left along the devastated coastline that will be affected.

A small pebble-like black dot was thrown out of the explosion, which drew a parabola and fell into the rushing waves.

Soon, Li Wu, who was soaked again, held two weapons, stepped on the shore that had turned into a large pit, shook his head, and dropped a few small fish.

"Almost literally died...... I'm going to have a phobia of sea water in the future......"

He thought about his feelings in pieces.

If it weren't for the instinct that peaked the dangerous stinging sensation in advance, he would probably have turned into fish feed.

"The worst thing is...... Haven't you died after that? ”

"To give you a zealous answer, the creation function numbered Adam has indeed ceased. Regretful. ”

A soft voice came from above, but the appearance of the speaker was in sharp contrast.

In the distant sea, Adam's body is crumbling and dissipating from the bottom up, but in the severed skull that exploded, an ugly monster has been born like a child.

Unlike its ray-woven form, it resembles a giant eyeball with a radius of about five meters, densely covered in folded sarcomas and a pair of tattered wings woven behind it.

At the top of the eyeball is written the unexplained name "Consciousness Integration".

After its birth, it flew at high speed, stopping within reach of Li Wu, and at the same time, the chant that had stopped after Adam terminated his activities sounded again.

Because the distance suddenly pulled in was too suitable for a knife, Li Wu subconsciously raised the Ascalon, and the blade of the sword was enlarged to a length of about fifteen meters in the process of being raised, dividing the meat ball into two halves.

The orange liquid spilled all over the ground, but the eyeballs were unscathed after the sword passed through.

The incised bodies adhered to each other almost simultaneously, healing the wounds.

"Overdrive? In this tone, are you the artificial intelligence? ”

As he spoke, he slashed dozens of more times as if he didn't care about the answer.

Cutting through bodies, digging up contents, and pulverizing flesh...... The whistling waves spread in all directions, and by the time they stopped, all that was left was wriggling debris.

Without hesitation, Li Wu raised his right hand, and the flames grazed from his wrist, extending forward, covering the entire piece of flesh and blood in a fan-shaped pattern.

The pieces of flesh that had been joined together to form body tissues wilted in flames like plastic bags, curled up to the size of a fist, charred, and then crumbled into fine dust.

Although the treatment of bones and ashes has been adopted, the music has not stopped. An identical eyeball resurfaced from the void, poking out its mouth-like arthropods from below, eating the ashes it left behind.

"Where did you come from, the alien beast that tricked magical girls into signing a contract?"

Seeing this scene of eating corpses, although Li Wu didn't stop the movements in his hands, he still couldn't help but scold.

"You asked three questions—"

The newly generated eyeball is concocted in the same way, and the next one appears again.

"First of all, it's not super-fast regeneration, and secondly, it's everyone's favorite AI idol, Lord Nero, and the last question is the same answer as the second question. Patiently answered. ”

Between death and rebirth, it utters this sentence intermittently.

Li Wu stopped swinging his giant sword.

"What do you want to do?"

While trying to take a more straightforward approach, there seem to be certain difficulties.

In the slaughter that had just begun, neither turning it to ashes, cutting it into molten flesh, or burying it in the ground with several boulder pillars without killing it, could not stop the chant from playing.

Eyeball obediently answered the question: "Continue to implement the Song Project, intimate explanation: The Song Project refers to the use of the principle of synaesthesia, with the help of the singing program summarized by 666 test subjects, to make the minds of ordinary people reach a state of perfection, and then stimulate superpowers......"

Like an intelligent voice assistant reading an instruction book, it announces what it is going to do next without ups and downs.

"You're so honest."

Li Wu tried to ask, "Stop the Song Project." ”

"No, do you think I'm the type to obey the outdated Three Laws of Robotics and do what humans say? Mockingly. ”

Li Wu threw fireballs in succession, and the sarcoma on the surface of the eyeball melted ticking, and the next one emerged before it was completely dead, cracking open its mouth and swallowing the smoking self.

"Please give up senseless attacks, or I'll take revenge on the world with only durian-only pizzas and swarm drones. You can't annihilate me who has become one with the song, so why not sit down and listen to the music and talk? This is a special service for idols. In good faith. ”

"You...... What is it? And what is a chant? ”

Combined with what he had seen and heard in Vault Twenty-two, he had some guesses about the words "Consciousness Integration".

Nero's incarnate ball of flesh seemed happy to stall for time with dialogue, and it floated up for a distance, and in the sound of mucus secretion, the sarcoma on the surface of the body suddenly bulged.

Green plant wattles surround these pink sarcomas, and sharp wooden thorns pierce into them and emerge from the other end, joining them together like threads of sausages.

The folds that were previously faintly visible are now visibly emerging above the surface layer of the sarcoma, like the sulci of the brain.

No, Li Wu revised his opinion, that is, the human brain!

Although the total number has not been counted, he already has the answer in his heart.

The true body of these sarcomas outside the eyeball is about 666 strung brains.

Nero replied in a singing tone, "Based on the neural network born in the demonic plant experiment, the minds of the six hundred and sixty-six subjects are used as subunits, and I am the one who was finally born. Seriously explaining. ”

Its voice began to separate as if it were mixed into a murmur, and finally chanted aloud in a voice similar to that of hundreds of people speaking in unison.

"One is all, all is one, the essence of the chant is the music of our souls - the heart of another that can fulfill the ideals of others and make up for the shortcomings of mankind, which is why we are designed to be idols. Proudly. ”

Once upon a time, there was a child who awakened the ability to read minds since he was a child.

The minds of others spread out in front of him like books, and as private memories can be read by him, but at the cost of his own personality, he has experienced the impact of excessive information in an immature situation.

Under the instinct of survival, in order not to completely accept the baptism of another person's memory one day, he chose to expand his own consciousness and proposition as much as possible, in other words, the ultimate egoism.

What I believe must be right, and my dreams must be nobler than others'.

This belief sustained him until he met his own kind with the same extraordinary powers, and realized the gap between the everyday world and the non-everyday world.

At that moment, he had become the president of a well-known company, and he had an idea to strengthen his sense of superiority and maintain self-stability by reading the powerlessness and misfortune of ordinary people.

"It would be a good thing if everyone became superpowers."

You will not be injured or disappeared due to involvement in anomalous events, and you will not be aware of the existence of the anomaly, and you will also have a variety of special powers.

Satisfied with merely observing ordinary people, and interfering with their lives like a toy-fiddling child, he initiated research into superpowers, and a few years later met another being who claimed to be a vampire.

"With all due respect, even if you want to promote your corporate culture, I can't understand the inner world of neurotics."

Projected from the front of the eyeball, the light screen that introduced President Lembongong's mental journey was shattered by the thrown Ascaron, and was inserted into its pupils, piercing it entirely.

"Do you still want to thwart the plan that my creator has tried so hard to put his life at risk? Angry doubts. ”

Voices from all directions rang out at the same time, and the number of new eyeballs that emerged this time was not only one, but also multiplying.

Li Wu raised his hand, which had been free because Ascalon was thrown out, and condensed the flames into the size of a ruby and popped upward.

Wrathful Flame Bomb!

The clouds of fire were like electric mosquito swatters sweeping over the summer mosquito swarm, and the hot wind swept by, and the body of the consciousness integrated into black charcoal crackled and fell.

Almost at the same time, more of them appeared out of thin air, as if forming a huge bowl of flesh and blood that fell upside down, closing together to cover the sky above Li Wu, and constantly compressing inward.

"Then let's see if you can really regenerate endlessly."

He stepped on, squirming and struggling eyeballs, and gripped the hilt of the holy sword, releasing heat that ignited it.

Squeezing out another piece of strength from his body, which had reached its limit after a series of battles, Li Wu pulled out Ascalon from the true red flames and swung an exaggerated arc.

Before the light of the outside world is completely blocked by countless eyeballs, the rain of blood that falls from their bodies becomes the last scene before the picture falls into darkness.

"It's suffered, this thing is the kind of monster that can't be killed, no matter how you look at it."

Yui Hirata shook Ryoko Aoki's body from side to side, and the latter shook off her hand and calmed himself from the shock.

"Everybody...... No, that's not my memory. ”

She clenched her fists.

She saw President Lembongong's journey from the projection screen like Sky Live, and she had a heartfelt disgust for her past self.

Because of the fear of becoming another person, it is necessary to emphasize that everything is different from others, and that one's dream should be unique, but in essence, it is actually an inferiority complex for oneself as an other.

If I continue like this, will I become like him?

Ryoko put aside her inner torture and listened to the growing impulse to run towards the collapsing space fortress.

In the smoke and dust, a magical girl in a gorgeous dress and a dragon girl with wings on her back flew out together.

"Aoki-san, the incident ...... Wow! ”

Before Hoshikawa Aoi, who had descended to the ground, was dragged by his hand and stumbled out of a distance like a kite, and Airisa, who found it interesting under this character, followed.

"A lot has happened, but I should have a solution. In short, in order to keep the rate of the opposite sex in your community from dropping to 0, come and become an idol...... The backing band of the bar! ”

“…… Is this the time to do this?! ”
