Chapter 1045 261. Imperial Route: Leading to the Ending of [Spiritual Deer] (56)

Meganiolos let out a long breath. As a mechanical life, he felt that he was about to have high blood pressure because of Lioz.

"Next time," he said, "next time, find someone who has awakened his telekinetic powers and put the ring on his hand. After a while, I will come out and talk to you."

"Okay." Li Aozi nodded obediently: "Then when you go back, will you still live with Durian?"

"(Cyber ​​expletive)"

Meganiolos pounded his rusty back and almost died. For a moment, he wanted to remove his emotional module, otherwise Meganiolos might become the first mechanical life in Xingyuan to be angered to death.

He calmed down, raised his finger and pointed at the "holy sword" in Li Oz's hand:
"I'll let you go this time, Lioz. You were able to find this sword. It seems that fate is on our side."

"Wait a minute."

Li Aoz raised his hand, stopped the other party's explanation, and asked:

"Wait a minute. I still don't understand why you chose to stand on my side. From now on, you have to explain your origins, why you were sealed in the ring, why you helped me, and what this holy sword is. Answer them one by one, slowly."

"No need to answer slowly. I'm a mechanical life form. I'll tell you directly."

Meganius didn't waste any words:

"Question 1: I am the former [Speaker of the Machine World] Meganilos, the last generation of Speaker of the Machine World with independent consciousness. I have been exiled."

"After defeating you and consuming Mephidria's power, the [Secret Society] Gaia awakened a certain power that can control and enslave other [Societies] to a certain extent, and can even force them to replace their own Speakers. I was the unlucky guy that Gaia used as a test, and I was directly expelled as the Speaker by Gaia and cut out of the [Machine World Society]."

"Slave [society]?" Li Oz was stunned. "Are you kidding? How can Gaia have such ability?"

"You can look at me. I have been expelled from the ranks [of society]."

Meganius opened his chest, revealing an empty energy chamber:

"My Son Core was directly removed, and I was restored to the state thousands of years ago when I had just completed the upload of consciousness. Fortunately, Gaia's actions also allowed me to obtain my independent new soul. In other words, what is in front of you is a robot wearing the skin of 'Meganus', but actually has a brand new soul - Theseus Ship, do you understand?"

Li Oz nodded:
"I understand that. A ship constantly replaces parts and even replaces its keel. Even if it still has the same name in the end, the ship is no longer the same ship. You [society] citizens do not have independent souls. Whether you are absorbed, corrupted, or released, you are no longer the same entity as you were at the beginning."

"Now answer question two. For the sake of efficiency, I will answer questions two and three together."

Meganius raised two fingers:
"Being sealed in the ring was my own will. You should have come into contact with other rings like mine that sealed many former members of the Society. Someone deliberately helped us to protect us from being persecuted by the narrative and the Society."

"Who helped you?"

"[Danger-Seeking Saint] Virlia." Meganius said, "That woman was able to live for more than three thousand years after getting rid of the secret. It is really admirable. During these three thousand years, she has been constantly helping other people like me who have left [society] or want to leave [society]."

"Behind Villia is the [Scholar] Lyle." Li Oz said: "Lyle has a negative attitude towards the invasion of Xingyuan, or he does not approve of the invasion of Earthlings, and is not interested in Earth culture."

"That makes sense. I can understand how Virlia managed to remain immortal for three thousand years and continue to rescue people in distress like me."

The two communicated very efficiently and quickly, and they could sort out the whole story in just a few words.

"The reason I'm helping you is simple. My country and homeland have disappeared. I am now an independent and free soul, and I don't want to be enslaved again."

Meganius raised his hand, knocked on the rusty iron shell on his body, and said:
"My body is old. Even if I still have the divine power from the past to support it, I don't have a real body. I am just living in the ring and can't last for another ten thousand years. But I have lived long enough. I want to live out my days in Xingyuan as a normal life until this body dies. It's that simple."

"It's easy to say. You also know how many people will covet your identity."

"As the divine authority, godhood, and position of the [Mechanical Saint], as well as the former [Chairman of the Machine World], both the narrative civilization and the [Society] have enough reasons to divide me up."

Meganius smiled slightly:
"More importantly, I don't want Gaia, who hurt me to this point, to be able to get away with it."

"So, I came to you."

"Sir Leoz, you and Gaia have a deep hatred, a blood feud. We have a common goal, and neither of us wants Gaia to have an easy life. As long as you don't give up the fight with Gaia, I will be willing to assist or help you."

"You don't even try to hide your intention to take advantage of others."

"Facing Leoz, who values ​​efficiency, there is no need for that."

"Ah."

Li Oz laughed:
"Since you've been following me, you should know that Red King has also formed an alliance with me, and now he's letting his apostles come and attack me - knowing that I have no confidence in the alliance at this moment, are you still going to do this?"

"I have no choice, Rioz. If anyone can defeat Gaia, I think it has to be you."

"Why? I didn't defeat her either. Not to mention that Gaia is now able to enslave society. How can we fight against her?"

"Sir Leoz, I think you still don't understand why I, as the [Speaker of the Machine Realm], personally came to Haines and was willing to serve as a God's Embrace under you."

Meganius shrugged and finally looked at the holy sword.

"Now, to answer your last question."

His eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice:

"A long time ago, at the pinnacle of all [societies], there were three of the most powerful, largest, and most influential predator [societies]."

"One is the Earthlings from other universes. After conquering a large number of stars, they eventually built a magnificent etheric civilization under the leadership of Archon Gaia, and completed their transformation to become the [Secret Society] Gaia. They continued to conquer and devour at will, and even dared to attack the Pantheon for their own hegemony."

"The other is a demonic civilization from another dimension. They were an extremely humble and elegant civilization at first, but after they were upgraded to the [Outer Realm Society] Pergale, they became completely ugly and greedy, constantly launching wars of erosion. Even Gaia's home planet Earth was once brutally attacked."

"Many people may know about the third Society, or may have never paid attention to it. It was once more powerful than Gaia and Pergale, but was eventually besieged and devoured by Gaia and Pergale, and even its name was lost. We only know that it is called the Highgarden Society."

"Lioz, have you ever thought about why it was the Highgarden Society that was being eaten up?"

Without hesitation, Li Oz said:

"Isn't this normal? If what you said is true, the weak can only unite to fight the strong. Besides, societies will devour each other and plunder each other's diversity..."

"At first, many people thought the same as you. I thought so too, and even Violetta thought so."

Meganius looked at the ring:
"It wasn't until Violetta saved a jury citizen from the High Court Society that she learned the truth of all this."

"what?"

"The Highgarden society is not just a group of beasts. Even the Highgarden civilization was cultivated by Yuanyuan, an elemental civilization loyal to Yuanyuan. No, in other words, Highgarden is a vassal state of your Yuanyuan."

Meganius looked at Leoz and said:

"The leader of the Highgarden Elemental Civilization is called Alaman Pushia."

"But this is just a disguise, because the entire elemental civilization was built with the support of Yuanyuan. In addition to being the leader of the civilization, she also has another identity: a disciple of the warriors of the dominant gods."

"And that divine warrior is called: [God of the Present World] Relaiti."
