foreigner's journey

Chapter 1744 The Collapsed Tower of Babel
"When AI's thoughts become human-like and it possesses human emotions and logic, how should it be defined?"

Weston looked at the figure in front of him and suddenly asked.

The man turned around; his usually meticulously combed, slicked-back blond hair was now slightly disheveled by the wind, but his tone was undeniably firm:
"Then He should be considered a [human being]."

Looking at Cosmer and the figure walking further ahead, Weston said nothing more.

When exactly did I start traveling with those two people?

She was simply walking down a path of loneliness and self-doubt, going further and further away, when she unexpectedly met that unexpected person.

[Strange child, but very interesting...Would you like to come with me?]

Also recruited was that blond youth whose methods were still somewhat immature but whose future potential was already evident.

I hesitated and even considered refusing, but in the end, I inexplicably followed them.

【Spiral】 is the name of this quirky three-person team, and it's also where it all started.

Gradually, he became stronger and stronger, and the blond youth named Cosmo also gradually became famous among the outsiders, but that person always kept himself hidden.

This is no longer the era in which I should show off.

This era is destined for you, Cosmer, Weston.

That's what that person said, and as he said, he really did step back from the spotlight to begin building the great dream that had attracted him and Cosmo.

"Westton, for Spiral, for our shared dream... let's build an organization for outsiders that belongs only to us!"

On one occasion, after a brief battle in a foreign land, Cosmer stood on the smoke-filled battlefield and said this to Weston.

“Okay.” Weston’s answer was simple and straightforward.

He won't ask why, because he's destined to know everything.

He wouldn't refuse, because he believed in that person, and in the like-minded Cosmer.

Spiral only recruits like-minded companions who are willing to fight for that dream; when it was first established, there were only three of them.

Go ahead and do it; I'll pave the way for you.

That person's voice echoed in Weston's heart.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to emulate the original team system, where a strong individual would recruit two newcomers and mentor and nurture them until they were able to stand on their own.

This was the prototype of the Pillar and Spiral Squad.

The two acted quickly, and before long, Cosmer recruited two newcomers, Mercury Serpent and Destiny Singer.

Mercury Serpent had been entangled with Cosmos for a long time, while Destiny Singer was a rapidly rising super rookie. Embracing the Spiral's philosophy, possessing the strong will to escape the allure of comfort, and having considerable strength and potential, Mercury Serpent and Destiny Singer did not disappoint Cosmos, rising and growing at a speed unimaginable to ordinary outsiders.

Compared to Cosmo, Weston was quite slow in recruiting new talent. It wasn't until Mercury Serpent and Destiny Singer had grown to the point where they could stand on their own that Weston finally assembled a team of two.

Jester Amidala of the Death Star and Queen Tonya of the Mirror.

Driven by unspoken feelings, Weston poured his love into his two apprentices, treating them as his own children. With meticulous care and patient instruction, Weston tried to transform his emotions into motivation, hoping to cultivate and train Amidala and Tonya to reach the same level as him, or even higher.

Amidala and Donya also regarded Weston as a father figure. The former tried her best to imitate and learn Weston's way of doing things and his behavior, and never repented even though Weston severely criticized her for this imitation several times.

Gradually, Mercury Serpent and Fate Singer rose to become pillars and gained their own teammates. But Amidala and Tonya remained on the edge of that boundary, unable to take another step forward.

The two grew anxious and, ignoring Weston's advice, insisted on heading to a level nine world to try and find traces of a god-level artifact.

Then, they encountered the Doom Dragon, known as the strongest outsider beneath the Spiral.

Donya died at the hands of the Doom Dragon, and Amidala escaped by chance but was also severely injured, greatly diminishing his strength and mental state.

He should have been angry, he should have sought revenge, he should have grieved, but as Weston looked at the heartbroken and overwhelmed Amidala, a strange calm settled over him.

Don't I love them? Are my feelings for Amidala and Tonya fake?
Is there something missing between me and "humanity"?

He couldn't understand it until Weston saw Shichimi Yasuri, a woman who was like a cold porcelain doll, devoid of human emotions.

He saw her love for Heather in her eyes; the 'knife', which should have been ruthless and heartless, possessed emotions more intense than those of a human.

If I were to fight her, if I were to win her over, perhaps I could overcome that obstacle that I could never comprehend and become a true "human"?

boom----! ! !
The golden dragon spear blasted through the foolish king's body, and the brass armor on his body kept exploding. What gushed out was not blood, but more arms!
"I haven't lost yet! Let Heather and Yasunari kill me! No outsider can kill me except them!"

The Foolish King's roar echoed throughout the multiverse, and a massive amount of data flowed around his body. The Time-Space Storm Dragon Spear, which contained the Dragon King's heart and four dragon heads, was gradually squeezed out and pierced through the wound.

Seeing this, Mo Yuanli felt his scalp tingle. How could this not kill him?
Not only was he not killed in one blow, but he was also using data instead of conceptual power to forcibly adapt to the Dragon King's spacetime storm power. This guy, Weston, was going to completely become immune to the Dragon King's power.

Thinking of this, Mo Yuanli immediately raised his fifth and sixth arms on his shoulders and pointed them at the Foolish King. He pressed his index fingers and thumbs together to form a rhombus, framing the Foolish King's figure within it.

The frenzied flow of data suddenly froze, and the power of the spacetime storm regained the upper hand.

"Don't get in my way!" the Foolish King roared, and Mo Yuanli, hidden on the other side of the causal line, immediately let out a muffled groan.

Five of her six arms were blown to pieces, leaving no skeleton behind. Her left side and left eye were also blown apart, and her bloody, broken left ribs were exposed.

That one move just now used up all the good fortune of ten world cycles of Demon Yuanli; she's out of resources.

But this attempt to stop them was ultimately successful.

The Time-Space Dragon Spear slammed downwards, piercing the Foolish King's gradually healing wound once more, widening the gap. Sargeras had discarded the divine sword Highshark, gripped the hilt of the Time-Space Storm Dragon Spear with both hands, and pressed his entire body against it, slamming the Foolish King violently into the depths of the multiverse.

"【Billions of Chaotic Maxims】!"

Using the Time-Space Dragon Lance as a medium, Sargeras transformed all his power into chaotic fel energy and then released it all at once.

A terrifying fel storm rapidly expanded and exploded from the center of the Time-Space Dragon Spear, shattering the Fool King's body from the inside out. Even the grid-like vents on the Fool King's Knight's helmet spewed out emerald green fel flames.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Seventeen brass rivets appeared out of thin air and pierced deep into Sargeras's Titan body. Even the metal-forged Starforged Titan body could not withstand these seventeen rivets, and one of them even pierced Sargeras's right eye, causing evil fire to gush out from the wound.

But Sargeras didn't waver in the slightest; instead, he increased his power, and violent fel energy explosions continued to erupt within the Fool's body.

Boom! The brass crown on the foolish king's head finally gave way and shattered. The seventeen rivets were also blown to pieces.

The Miracle Machine finally exhausted all its power and perished completely.

But the immense impact it generated before its death blasted Sargeras, along with the Time-Space Dragon Spear he was clutching, far away, leaving only the foolish king riddled with holes.

"I...I haven't lost yet...I saw it..."

The Foolish King muttered to himself, clutching the massive, penetrating wound in his chest, and staggered as he fled toward the deepest part of the multiverse.

The past and the future, I've already seen them all. As long as we can reach that place, the restart of the Spiral Realm will annihilate all the invaders.

if only--

Clang! !

Just as the foolish king was about to reach the path that the Möbius Chair had guided him through, a sudden dimensional slash shattered his dream.

A shallow cut ran from the top of the foolish king's head all the way to his left ankle.

The skeleton knight stopped a short distance away, still in a sword-wielding stance.

"What a beautiful sword strike..."

The Foolish King elegantly straightened his tattered armor, then slowly turned to look at the four members of the Star Sea.
"I have spent my whole life atoning for my past mistakes."

With this, perhaps my sins have finally been atoned for.

If you and Heather manage to overcome all obstacles and reach the end, please convey a message to the Spiral Lord on my behalf.

There is no other way but to move forward.

As soon as he finished speaking, the brass armor could no longer hold on and collapsed into pieces.

Inside the armor, there was no one, only a 3.5-inch hard disk that had been cut in half.

The two halves of the disk were labeled with two letters, [A] and [M].

As the two halves of the disk turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air, Mo Yuanli felt the entire Spiral Realm of Zhicheng rumbling and collapsing, because the pillar supporting it had died.

At this point, Mo Yuanli finally came to his senses; they had indeed defeated the most unfathomable and mysterious pillar in the Spiral.

Spiral Realm, Earth 25, Destruction.

Spiral Pillar [Foolish King] Weston, died.
