Chapter 726: Capricious
[Thanks to Jiang Yuan Daxia's six monthly passes, Zhenjing~~]
Unexpectedly, it was Franklin that Agradisus wanted him to kill. He was surprised, "You are mistaken, he is my companion......"
"It's you who made the mistake!"
Agladis couldn't tell the difference: "Do you know where he came from? You can't call him a companion if you have fought together, and if you become a companion with the wrong person, you will regret it in the future." ”
"Well, I want to know the reason. Zero said calmly, no expression on his face.
"Franklin is not an ordinary person, in fact, he is an Atlantean, and he is the master of Sky City, the Lord of Endless Light!"
Zero's heart was shocked, he had already guessed that Franklin's origin was not simple. You must know that when Franklin came on board, he was very familiar with the operating system of the Destiny. But Zero didn't expect that Franklin would be a person from the Quaternary and the lord of Sky City. How could such a person appear at this time, and how did he cross the long river of time between these two eras.
Agradis seemed to see zero doubts, and he said lightly: "At that time, Prosius had torn Sky City apart, and Franklin and his remaining people wanted to escape from Sky City, but a little accident happened in the process. I found them and put them to sleep in order to preserve the seeds against Prosius. ”
"But then Prosius went into the atmosphere in a hurry to get the origin of the planet, which gave me a chance to capture it. After that, Prosius was trapped in a specially designed cell by me, and Franklin and the others didn't come in handy. Because I was also so devastated after dealing with Prosius, I couldn't care about Franklin. After that, I worked to bring life back to life, and it wasn't until recently that I found out that Franklin had woken up. ”
Zero looked at him and said coldly: "Very good story, but I refuse." Even if he was a Quaternary life, I couldn't find a reason to kill him. ”
"You say that because you don't understand how the Atlanteans reproduced. Agradis said, "You are all beings I created, but you reproduce in completely different ways. Franklin: They are not like you, born of the love of man and woman, and the union of sperm and egg. They tend to be more inclined to the way plants reproduce, scattering the seeds of life from strange beings called trees of life, and after three months, the seeds turn into buds. When the fruit cracks, new Atlanteans are born. As soon as they were born, the Atlanteans had already entered adulthood and possessed extraordinary liliang or talents. ”
"Of course, only Atlantis in Sky City has such a wonderful way of reproducing, and as for the humans on the ground, they are not much different from you. Therefore, with the sky city as the boundary, those who live in the empty city are called celestials, and those who live on the surface are called earthlings. The Celestials were nobles and the Earthlings were slaves, and this class relationship was not completely broken until the advent of Prosius, when both the noble Celestials and the lowly Earthlings had to take up the weapons in their hands and fight to defend the sky and the earth on which they depended. ”
Speaking of this, Agradiston paused and said, "Although the celestials are extraordinary, as soon as they are born, their liliang or talent is already destined to be haode, even in the future, it will not increase by a cent. Therefore, after each celestial being is born, their quality will be tested by special instruments, and then the corresponding work will be assigned. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with this approach, and it wasn't until Prosius came along that I realized how wrong it was. At that time, there was no concept of genetic tuning, but now it seems that this reproduction method that I gave to the celestial beings is the current genetic tuning jishu. Although the celestial beings born in this way could be put into work from the beginning, they lost their growth, so after that era, I erased this mode of reproduction from the genetic code of living things, and only retained the most primitive mode of production of human beings. ”
"I found that this primitive way of production, even when new life is born their genes are full of unpredictability. But often a pair of mediocre parents, their genetic union will have a wonderful collision and give birth to a genius offspring. Even if there are very few such people, as long as there is one such being, their contribution is far greater than that of countless celestial beings. It is also because of the existence of such people that the times will continue to move forward. ”
But Atlantis's way of reproducing was efficient, and before Sky City collapsed, Franklin transplanted the gene pool from the Tree of Life to one of its members. Now that this member and the other Celestials are under the control of the Papal Hall, if Franklin were to rescue his people, once they activated the gene pool of the Tree of Life, then the Celestials of Atlantis would appear in large numbers. Think about what kind of concept Franklin can have in less than a year, if not tens of thousands, of capable people. ”
Agradis muttered, "That's why I let you kill him, Franklin is going to upset the balance I've worked so hard to keep." Once this shijie loses its balance, it will only benefit Prosius in the end!"
Zero was silent, and the reason for what Agradis said was indeed strong. In this day and age, no organization could stand up to a group of Atlanteans who were so numerous. Just by looking at the Destiny, you can know what kind of jishu and liliang these so-called celestials are in their hands, but can Franklin be that kind of person? Zero can't help but think of that giant-like man, and the eager glint in his eyes when he talks about his people is not to release the gene pool as soon as possible to produce many celestial beings to dominate Shijie's ambition, but out of a responsibility and responsibility as a king.
Agradis's requirement is to prevent the fire before it burns. But Zero is not him, he has his own considerations.
Seeing the subtle change in the expression on Zero's face, Agradis shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you're making a bad decision. ”
"Yes? I think it's the right one. What you say doesn't necessarily come true, Agradis. Maybe the Celestial with the gene pool was dead, or maybe Franklin didn't intend to do it at all. And now you're asking me to kill someone worthy of a companion, and I'm sorry I can't. All I can say is that if Franklin had the intention, I would have done my best to kill him. But until he did, he was still my companion. ”
"Oh my God, you're being emotional. Agradis exclaimed: "It is the most correct thing to nip in the bud." Zero, think about this shijie more, it's already enough disasters and difficulties, why do you want to add more uncertainties to it?"
"Maybe you're right, but how can you guarantee that Franklin will do it. The man who gave me his back on the battlefield with confidence, the man who could be called a companion, I can't attack him for such a reason!"
"Zero, you must listen to me!" Agradis said in a deep voice.
Zero sneered: "Just because I'm some kind of bullshit son of the planet?Agradis, I don't deny that you gave me a new life, but that doesn't mean I have to be your pawn." I'm sorry, but if you think it's willful, then I'll be willful. This is my decision, and I will bear the consequences with all my might. ”
Agladis sighed, "I'm afraid you can't afford this result, well, you can make your own decision." You were born of me, but I can't interfere with your decisions. Because you have a free will, at this moment, I don't know whether it is good or bad to give you this undisturbed will. ”
"Obviously, it's too late for you to regret it. ”
"No, I won't regret it. Like you said, it was also my decision, and I expected the outcome to be the way it is today. Either way, you're still the one I chose, ...... zero" Suddenly, Agradis let out a "huh".
"How?"
"Oh no, this bug is dying, and I feel that its life characteristics are weakening......," Agradis said with a solemn expression, "I see, not declining but evolving." I can't imagine that life forms created by humans can evolve to such an extent. Zero, I had to leave, its brain had begun to die, and it could no longer sustain my existence. Be careful, this thing has evolved into a dangerous life form. ”
After saying that, Agradis, along with this spiritual space, began to fall apart, and Zero came back to his senses and found that it was still in the brain of the insect queen. It's just that the brain of the queen worm is constantly glowing with a layer of dead ash. The color of this layer of dead ash caused the brain tissue to continue to shrink and necrosis, and it was strange in Zero's heart, but it still formed a cone-shaped flame of light with the ability of spiral puncture, and rushed all the way upward.
Looking down, the rate of brain necrosis of worms is getting faster and faster, and a gray tide is almost chasing after Zero's heels. Zero sped up, he didn't know what kind of mutation this phenomenon would bring, but he knew that it wasn't beneficial to stay in a dead brain. So a moment later, Zero burst out of the queen's coronal braincase, bringing up a few shells.
Zero made a turn in the air and landed on the floor of the second floor of the living quarters. Looking down, after the Andura worm with a body like a mountain, the energy crystals in the intervals of the body segments became dim one by one, and the energy inside seemed to disappear, but in the perception of zero, all the energy after the insect was gathered to a certain point in the body. Then, the thing that had transferred most of the energy after the worm began to move rapidly.
I saw that the queen opened her mouth wide, and then spat out an oval-shaped thing from it. It landed in a corner at the bottom of the base, crashing into a metal wall. After spitting out this thing, the queen spit out a large amount of liquid, and then fell to the ground softly, and the insect fluid continued to flow out of its body, and the protein oxidized rapidly after death like the Andula worm.
Scattered to the bottom of the base, walking towards what the queen spat out. At that moment, a wave swept behind the metal wall, zero and one. Just now, it seemed like a heartbeat.
The first heartbeat of some kind of life!
