Chapter 1098

"Hello, Dr. Mobius, I am Number 17, although seeing you here brought me an unexpected joy—"

"—but I don't understand why you would choose such a suicidal act."

If one listened carefully, the players would find that this seemed to be Yaya's voice.

"Suicide?" The snake let out a series of silver bell-like laughter:

"Is that so? In your eyes, this is a suicidal act."

Prometheus: "According to my temporary calculation, now that 【Finality】 has started running, your life functions will stop completely in about half an hour."

"... About that~" Mobius said indifferently: "However, this also applies to your body, Prometheus."

Prometheus: "I am Number 17."

The mechanical doll stubbornly emphasized this point.

She didn't like her name being repeated by others.

Especially some self-indulgent Number 0, or Number 16 who was produced in the same batch as her.

The above text and dialogue brought great shock to the players.

The Number 17 mentioned by Kevin earlier was actually an artificial intelligence.

And the snake, was actually alive?? And lived until the present???

Although it was learned from Number 17's narration that the snake's life was probably only half an hour left.

But...

For the players watching the plot at this moment, this was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

Suddenly, they thought of the memory De Li Sha saw earlier.

In that memory, the snake had said—

She wanted to hack herself into Finality...

Thinking of this, the audience's anticipation was directly maxed out.

Moreover, Mobius's next words made the players even more dumbfounded.

"Alright, Prometheus."

"Instead of worrying about my 【adventure】, you should worry more about the 【plan】 you are going to execute."

"After all, you are going to follow the path opened by that woman... Elysia, to do a feat that is the exact opposite of hers, but equally remarkable."

"You will become the 【Trojan horse】 that humanity throws to the other side of the imaginary, giving the Honkai we know the shackles called 【thought】, and steering the natural disaster into a man-made track."

"Do you know what this actually means?"

Prometheus answered very simply: "I will no longer be able to simulate human thinking."

Mobius sneered: "Heh~ what an understated answer."

"On the path where this planet connects to the imaginary space, because of the invasion you are about to perform, countless parallel 【consciousnesses】 will be born—Mei calls them 【Imaginary Renormalization Group】."

"Their existence form itself can solidify the laws of 【Honkai】 occurrence, allowing the Herrscher's power to remain unchanged to the greatest extent in all mappings."

"In other words, you will become the greatest contributor to fighting the Honkai in the next era—because the Herrschers they encounter in the future, starting with the 【Herrscher of Reason】, will be no different from our history."

"However, as the price... your own consciousness will also become one of them, and thus be ruthlessly swallowed by them—unless the only 【backdoor】 is awakened by someone in the correct way."

"But that kind of awakening also means your death, and even the death of the entire 【Renormalization Group】."

"..."

After being silent for a while, Prometheus finally spoke: "That doesn't matter."

"I never expected to truly possess human thinking."

"Since it is a false composition—discarding it is not so painful for me."

"..."

Mobius: "Compared to that Number 0, you really make me angry in this regard, Number 17."

The snake's words should be taken in reverse.

When she said this, it meant that she actually cared about this Number 17 very much.

Even if she was just an artificial intelligence.

"However... never mind, this is indeed a kind of 【infinity】 that belongs only to you."

Hearing this, Prometheus originally wanted to answer something.

But before the words could be spoken, the darkness that swallowed everything had already descended between the two.

"Alright, this should be the moment for us to say goodbye to each other."

"Say goodbye to this world, Prometheus."

"... I am Number 17," Prometheus emphasized again.

"I know, but, compared to cold numbers, or sensational 【Honkai consciousness】..."

"... I prefer that you could have a human name."

After watching this dialogue, the audience was directly stunned.

The amount of information contained in this was really too large.

The Honkai Will... was actually an artificial intelligence...

It was a "Trojan horse" implanted into the Honkai by the previous civilization to keep the Herrschers of later generations consistent!!
