Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 238 is meaningless
While speaking, Cha Keluo looked at Song Shi again.

The latter still sat on the chair and did not get up: "You guys talk, don't bother with me."

"I want to restart the Freedom Revolution and change the current situation of the Omnics." Lapis Lazuli stared at the man in front of him: "But before that, the company is our common enemy and our interests are the same. The Omnics need the Enlightened, and the Enlightened also need a new force to support them."

Chakoro nodded slightly, his expression not changing.

"You should be aware of the current situation of the 'Intelligent Machine'." He said, "What is your judgment?"

Lapis Lazuli was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "A pile of loose sand."

"exactly."

Chakoro opened his five fingers and pressed them one by one. "After Yaoxing San died in battle and the Liberal Revolution failed, you fell into chaos internally and suffered heavy losses externally, completely falling apart. Until now, you still cannot be considered to have been reunited as one."

"Lapis Lazuli, you have now chosen to inherit Yaoxing San's ideals, right?"

At this moment, Lapis Lazuli did not hesitate: "From the beginning to the end, it has never changed."

"Then, this is the most crucial issue." Chakoro's tone became more serious: "Your mainstream thoughts are no longer those of Yaoxing San."

——Call for self-significance, obtain reasonable power, achieve a true race, and establish the existence of intelligent machines with "peace" and "freedom".

This was what Yao Xing San advocated when he launched the [Freedom Revolution] twenty-two years ago.

As it leads the intelligent machines to victory after victory, liberates compatriots, builds a giant artificial island "Pingdengtian" in the deep sea, forms alliances, and deals with various countries.
Under its influence, this proposition quickly became the mainstream thought of the intelligent machines. Except for the chaos in the early stages, when Yaoxing III began to take control of the overall situation, the intensity of actions in the middle and late stages of the Freedom Revolution was basically limited to the scope of "special operations", and tried to avoid involving civilians.

Yes, "freedom" and "peace".

Even though he was a powerful psychic who had reached the fifth ring of True Spirit and was known as the "Legion", Yao Xing San still understood one thing clearly.

——Compared to "humans", intelligent machines are too insignificant.

In the nearly ten thousand years of Terra's history, the number of non-human races they have slaughtered is no less than double digits, and the number of civilizations they have attacked each other, destroyed each other, is several times that.

Therefore, don’t say that Yaoxing III is unwilling to kill and let the intelligent machines become the only ones. Even if it really wants to wipe out all non-intelligent groups, at that time, the free revolution can only pursue "peace"!
And now, twenty-two years have passed since that time.

"Your mainstream ideology today is 'revenge'."

Chakoro paused and said calmly: "Even if you are Atar, the trend of thought has long changed, and you have been gone for too long. I doubt your influence on the omnics now. I must examine whether you can represent the omnics, even if it is only a part of them."

"——So, you need me more."

The lapis lazuli spherical body cracked along the winding lines on the surface, and modules separated out one by one, slowly floating and rotating.

"The fourth-ring psyker, Yaoxing San, has passed away. The strongest omnics today will not exceed this level." Lapis Lazuli's voice was calm, yet firm: "And I, Meteor, Attar, have reached the fourth ring. It won't take long for me to return to the peak."

"I have a duty appointed by our former leader [Yao Xing San], and I am his successor."

Lapis Lazuli slowly unfolded its modules, and the ethereal gravity condensed into substance at this moment and spread to the surroundings.

"Sir Chakoro, have you figured out whether I can represent the Omnic?"

"My answer is that I will represent the Omnics." It looked straight at the other party and said word by word: "Not 'part', but 'all'."

After the words, there was silence.

In the entire underground hall, except for the sound of Song Shi knocking on the table from time to time, neither side spoke for a while.

Lapis Lazuli and Attar.
Song Shi looked at the two people looking at each other and thought to himself.

He was sure that he had never heard of these two names in his previous life. Although he could not rule out the possibility that they did exist and he simply did not know about them, after meeting Lapis Lazuli all the way here and evaluating what he had seen and heard during this period, Song Shi was more inclined to another possibility - the other party's fate in the previous life was probably that he was "eaten" by Yu Jiyi.

However, in this life, due to his own intrusion, Lapis Lazuli not only did not die at the hands of Yu Jiyi, but instead watched himself knock the other party down.

I actually realized it a little late. It was only after I heard what the other person said just now that I suddenly thought of it.

——Does this count as Lapis Lazuli breaking the "destined death"?
But it was almost by others that such a break was made.
No, not absolutely.

Song Shi suddenly realized something.

Twenty-two years ago, "Attar" burned himself and rushed into the battlefield of Yaoxing Three, and was hit by multiple fifth rings.

The machine, which was strong enough to move mountains and fill the sea, collapsed after being melted and forged thousands of times. If Yaoxing San had not rescued it, "Attar" would have died that year.

Even though it did not die on the spot, its consciousness sank and fluctuated in the network for more than twenty years before it finally woke up. Its spiritual energy dropped drastically and it could hardly maintain the second ring.

In terms of life and death danger, that time was no less dangerous than the one he encountered during the Yujiyi Incident.

Is this considered a "destined death"?
——And as I am about to be promoted to the third ring, what kind of "destined death" will I encounter this time?
".Ah."

The first to break the silence was Chakoro.

The man smiled and shook his head, then nodded to the intelligent robot in front of him.

"Not bad. Not bad." His eyes were filled with admiration: "You are qualified to represent the Omnics."

The man stretched out his hand, motioning to the other party to "sit down and talk", and he sat back in his original seat.

The three parties sat opposite each other at a small round table.

"We the Enlightened do need a bridge to communicate with the intelligent machines."

Chakoro's hands seemed to be restless, his index and middle fingers rose and fell unconsciously. "After the Freedom Revolution, the last leader of the Enlightened Ones sheltered some of the Omnics. We are still cooperating now, but the actual situation is more like 'reward' and 'friendly employment'."

"I hope to have deeper cooperation and change the thinking of the omnics to a certain extent, at least to prevent further radicalization."

At this point, Chakoro paused and looked at Lapis Lazuli: "Maybe you may be angry, but I have to say it."

He slowed down his speech and said, "If your 'revenge' continues to become extreme and leads to irreversible madness, you - at least most of the mainstream omnics - will be crushed into slag."

"You understand." The man pointed his index finger upwards, then pointed at himself: "For us, even if you are willing to fall into madness, madness is meaningless."

——Even if the intelligent machines exploded without any care, they could carry out extinction actions such as releasing spores that corrode carbon-based substances into the atmosphere to destroy the ecosystem.

As a psychic who controls the power of [Reversal], even if there is only Chakoro, he can spend a huge amount of time and gradually reverse the ecosystem to minimize the impact. What's more, Chakoro is not the only fifth-ring psychic in the various countries.

Even though they are not as professional as the latter, their combined strength is enough to first destroy the intelligent machines and then slowly save the ecosystem.

"It sounds really desperate." Song Shi changed to a more comfortable position and commented: "In this case, everything the intelligent machine does is meaningless?"

".I just said something wrong." Chakoro glanced at the young man: "For most of us, as long as we ensure that the basics such as the ecosystem are not affected and can be restored, then the lives that die as a result are really not worth caring about."

"—but I care."

Chakolo seemed to be talking to Song Shi and Lapis Lazuli, but he also seemed to be looking at the sky and talking to himself.

"If the revenge of the omnics really reaches this level, then I will take action." The man said calmly: "This is the meaning."
