"She doesn't look like she'll wake up, my Lord."
"And the hope of recovery is not great."
Under the densely packed tubes, a vague half-human figure could be barely discerned. On the bloody face, some white hair was tangled in the blood.
Sage Kirkland skillfully performed the necessary inspections on the broken body and reported to Hades at the same time. At the same time, Hades was disassembling the Knight Mech with the driver removed.
Compared to the complete knight mecha, the mecha they found on Planet 373 was too simple. The upper part of the mecha could still operate according to normal physics, but the lower part of the mecha was purely the product of Nurgle's psychic power.
However, what Hades was interested in was not the outer frame design of the mecha, but the control system of the mecha. The driver of this knight was not in the cockpit, but was inserted on the top of the mecha as if being redeemed, controlling the knight through pipes.
Hades checked it with the Black Domain. This mecha has no machine soul. There are signs of corrosion on the lower part of the mecha, but the upper part is very clean. It must be because of the ability of the Untouchable.
Regarding the matter of the mecha soul, Hades consulted the sages of Graeae again, and received affirmative answers from the sages, that is, the machine soul is an indispensable part of the operation of a mecha.
Hades thought, then did he become a specialist against Knights and Titans
However, this cannot explain the current situation, that is, why this simple knight can still run without a machine soul.
Hades stared at the knight in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"My Lord, I have a possible hypothesis."
The joyful voice of Sage Kirkland sounded. Experimenting on the Untouchables was a return to his old ways.
Kirkland held up the densely packed tubes that were originally inserted into the girl's waist. During the disassembly just now, in order to remove the white-haired girl for necessary examination and possible treatment, Sage Kirkland cut off these tubes that were connected to the girl's body.
The cross section of the tube was filled with dried and rotten flesh and blood.
"She used her brain cells as circuits and laid them into this mecha to replace the control of the general machine soul over the mecha."
Hades shifted his gaze back to the mecha, not looking at the woman who had become a blur. Indeed, when he checked, he saw a lot of dried flesh and blood tissue, but Hades subconsciously regarded these as natural products of the Nurgle faction.
Hades thought for a moment.
"This idea is feasible, and this mecha is relatively simple, which reduces the computing power. However, the computing power of the human brain is probably still not enough to support this mecha."
"My Lord, the activity of these cells is far beyond that of ordinary cells."
Hades turned his head sharply and looked at Kirkland who was checking slowly and methodically.
He strode over and covered the area with the diluted black domain again. As expected, the woman was not corrupted, which means that these cells were not grown because of Nurgle's curse.
Hades looked at Sage Kirkland, who became even more excited because of the black domain. As long as he was next to the untouchable, Kirkland would become particularly happy.
Hades looked at the body that could almost be called a corpse. In fact, she should have died, but she was in the stasis field for a long time, leaving her with her last breath.
Out of Hades' personal wish, Hades originally wanted to see if he could save an untouchable, or give her a clean death.
Hades sighed softly.
".What do you suggest?"
"Made into biological wetware, my lord, an Untouchable, and the computing power of a single cell is astonishing."
"But generally speaking, machines that require biological wetware will have organic souls. If something cannot be touched, the machine soul will reject it."
Hades suddenly realized it, and he spoke slowly,
"But we can create machines without machine souls, but the part that provides computing power is the part."
They all looked at the brain tissue in the tube.
Moreover, the Untouchables are far less susceptible to corruption than Machine Spirits.
137 tests,
[Hello?]
Ruibo blinked in confusion, the blur enveloping her.
Can't move, can't see.
[.]
[Hello?]
The same message was shouted, but not in the form of sound, the waves flickered, the tissue surged slowly,
Ruibo's consciousness gradually became clearer, and she felt as if she was slowly sinking in the dark and dark deep sea.
[Where am I?]
[Death Guard, Hades' personal laboratory.]
The being opposite replied to her. Ruibo blinked hard, trying to see something clearly, but found that she seemed to have lost the ability to control her eyelids.
[.I don’t quite understand.]
Without answering her message, the other party raised a new question.
[What do you remember?]
Thoughts fluctuated, the warm candlelight in the black stone church, the believers chanting prayers, the priest smiling and stroking her head. Then there was anger, roaring
She closed the "miracle", Ruibo suddenly remembered.
She committed a sin that is difficult to wash away.
Then she was deceived, used, and left to rot, rot, and rot. She watched the people who supported her rot in the cold underground, while their souls were still trapped in their bodies.
At the end of the memory, there is war and robots wearing red robes.
She hates and regrets.
[I remember the last robot I saw was the red-robed robot. They successfully stopped my behavior.]
Ruibo was silent for a moment.
[Thank them.]
[Those people are Mechanicus Skitarii, not robots.]
[.]
Ruibo was silent. Were those metal beings actually alive? This shocked her a little, but she realized in an instant that she had no right to feel uncomfortable with these people.
She was a sinner who harmed the entire planet. Even though she had a perfect human body, she ended up pushing the entire civilization into the abyss.
[Whatever the case, I thank them for stopping me.]
Ruibo continued to ask,
[Where am I, and why am I still alive? Sorry, I am confused by the words you are proposing.]
Death Guard, Mechanicus, what are these
[We are humans from the Empire. We discovered your planet during a planetary survey. After eliminating the corruption on your planet, we found and took you and your mecha away.]
[Have you all rested in peace?]
Ruibo spoke hurriedly, she was anxiously waiting for the answer. Only after experiencing a long process of decay would she realize that death was the ultimate mercy and forgiveness.
She had hoped countless times to serve her sentence in hell in exchange for everyone's peace of mind. She had begged the devil named Corruptor countless times in a low voice, just hoping that everyone would die.
[Please rest assured that except for you, all humans on your planet have died, and they have died without the influence of the subspace.]
It was like the sound of nature.
Everybody died, that's great, it's really great.
Ruibo wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry anymore.
Everyone is finally dead.
[Why am I still alive?]
Hades looked at the characters on the screen and then at the cell tissue in the petri dish.
Now the cells were asking him why she was still alive.
Hades took a deep breath and continued to talk to the consciousness on the other side of the screen.
[Strictly speaking, you are already dead. Your body has undergone extremely intense inhuman transformation, so it has collapsed prematurely.]
[Out of necessity, we preserved your brain tissue.]
There was a long silence on the other side of the screen, and Hades waited patiently for an answer.
They can certainly remove the areas that generate consciousness and keep only the computing parts, but in the operation of certain machines, consciousness is as indispensable as computing power.
Kirkland's suggestion is to brainwash directly. The Mechanicus has a complete plan for this, which can turn anyone into a madman of the God of All Machines.
Hades stared at Kirkland who had been praising the God of All Machines. Did this sage realize what he was saying
But out of selfishness, Hades chose to try to negotiate first.
[So what do you need me to do?]
Hades breathed a sigh of relief.
[I'm glad to see that you think so. Let me introduce myself again. I am Hades of the Death Guard, and the Death Guard is a war legion under the Empire.]
[I am Ruibo.]
[.There is no need to introduce it in the past.]
This line of characters revealed a huge sadness that overflowed from the screen, and Hades continued typing.
[We awakened you because we wanted to use you to control some machines to fight against the creatures in the subspace.]
Ruibo was stunned, and a flame of anger lit up in the sea of sadness and self-blame that was drowning her.
[Are you talking about those demons? ]
[Yes.]
If Ruibo still had a body, she would probably be kneeling on the ground and screaming, pulling her hair frantically with both hands, blood, flesh, hair, and tears splashing all over.
[I agree, I agree!!!]
[I agree!!!]
Exclamation marks and characters filled the screen.
[Thank you for giving me the chance to atone for my sins. I will kill them! Kill them! ]
She begged the devil countless times, but all she got in return was ironic comfort and eternal pain.
[kill!!!]
Hades looked at the word "kill" all over the screen and fell silent.
Kirkland came over and looked at the word "kill" on the screen with interest.
"My Lord, your decision is indeed correct."
