After Roland's figure disappeared, Darnic's consciousness could not hold on any longer. After giving the order to de-alienate the workshop, he passed out.
In the workshop that returned to its normal appearance, Lancer sighed softly and asked the figures in the eleven tanks in the center of the workshop.
"Master, what should I do next?"
And as he spoke, lights gradually lit up in the silent workshop, illuminating the figure inside the tank.
Each of them carries a heterogeneous and heavy magic power, clearly showing their identity as artificial humans, and they still have vague traces of being transformed.
What's even more incredible is that the faces of these eleven artificial beings are exactly the same as those of Darnic, who had been put aside by the Lancer!
Each of them has a contractual connection with the Lancer.
This is the reason why Enkidu did not panic at all after seeing Darnic deposed, because his real master, including Darnic and the eleven artificial beings combined, was named {Thousand The group consciousness of the World Tree}.
Along with Lancer's words, the eleven tanks lit up and made a strange buzzing sound. When he heard this sound, Enkidu's mood was obviously lowered.
Even if survival is the instinct, there is no need to do this...
He kept this sentence in his heart and did not say it. Facing a life eager to survive, Enkidu would not make unnecessary interference.
Enkidu slowly walked up to the crippled and unconscious Danik, and lifted up his clothes.
——In the center of the chest, a disc that was submerged in the flesh and blood was flashing, and in the center of the disc was a filled groove.
A rune stone with a sheep pattern is inlaid on it.
Enkidu held the disk, twisted it slightly, and removed it. Then he opened a new jar and placed the disk on the opponent's chest.
The disk seemed to be alive. When it came into contact with flesh and blood, the spiritual patterns on it lit up one after another, and finally converged on the talisman in the center, and then slowly sank into the chest of the artificial man.
Then, the artificial man opened his eyes, and his eyes quickly changed from confusion to sharpness. He casually pulled the clothes next to him and put them on himself.
"Lancer, is that guy gone?"
"already left."
"That's good," Danik nodded, turning to look at the remaining ten tanks behind him, "I didn't expect to waste a body here, but this temporary alliance is still worth it, huh, even if the clock tower Those guys would never have thought that I would have created the same results as a crowned magician."
Looking at the ten artificial humans in front of him, Danik showed a proud smile.
"Transform your original body into pure flesh and blood, then create your own artificial person from these flesh and blood, divide your soul into thin consciousnesses, turn them into clusters, and finally place the main obsession and most of the soul on That powerful talisman is used to control the body. With this method, Master, you are indeed a master in the study of the soul."
Lancer calmly told Darnic's methods, his eyes a little pitiful.
He was summoned by the cluster consciousness called Thousand World Tree. When Darnik activated the summoning array, these artificial people who had been drained in the previous ritual and were about to be disposed of, expressed their desire to survive. , such a strong consciousness replaced the catalyst and summoned him.
This cluster consciousness is his real master, not the remnant soul that resides in the spell and only has obsession. But unfortunately, out of the first instinct of survival, {Thousand World Tree} believes that having the same consciousness , but only with more perfect subject control can we survive better, so Danik, who is also recognized as 'himself', becomes the spokesperson.
"What's that look in your eyes, Lancer, I thought you could understand me," Danik sneered, "I understood when I obtained this spell that flesh and blood is just a meaningless prison, and the soul is the real thing. life."
"Moreover, I just advanced this process. In two hundred years, my personality will turn into this kind of collective consciousness. Therefore, it is better to extract the obsession in advance. What's more, Qianjie Tree and I are originally Consistent.”
Danik talked eloquently, "As long as I achieve my goal, Thousand Realm Tree and I can exist forever. Because of this, these artificial humans will recognize me as the subject. After all, they have no souls. They are just It’s just a prop.”
"Props?" Enkidu murmured, "However, even so, I still think that human souls and human lives are very precious and dazzling things. These things should be classified as low-grade and lodged in props. Isn’t it sad to turn oneself into a weapon-like existence?”
"This may indeed not be considered living, but it is necessary in order to live a better life."
This transformation had been completed by Darnic decades ago. At that time, Darnic, who could not activate the Sheep Talisman by any means, came up with a bold idea with the help of his own research that had reached the level of the crown.
Since I can't use the talisman, wouldn't it be better to let the talisman use me?
He sacrificed everything he had to the talisman and turned his excess existence into materials and carriers. He used the power of the talisman to stabilize himself and ensure the existence of the main body. This meant that he would not only have the skills of a magician, but also possess artificial intelligence. People have powerful magic circuits, and such individuals also appear in the concept of clusters. If one is killed, another can be replaced at any time.
You must know that the existence of the self is very scary. Even a top-ranked puppet master who can create multiple bodies at the same time, in order to avoid conflicts when realizing this immortal method, will only allow new consciousness to exist after death. Awakening in a new body.
It is simply unheard of to have multiple selves at the same time. If it were not for relying on the power of the Sheep Spell to confirm his own subjectivity and convince these cluster consciousnesses to sleep obediently and serve as his backup battery, Darnik would be in big trouble.
Danik's eyes were full of coldness and he said to Lancer: "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can raise it directly."
"I'm just a weapon. If this is the master's decision, I will obey it."
Lancer looked at the consciousness conveyed by the ten androids behind him, lowered his head slightly, and with an atmosphere as tolerant as nature surrounding him, he accepted Darnic's decision frankly.
"That's good. The previous battle scene was also interrupted because of that guy. How is the battle situation now? Lancer, have any heroic spirits left the scene?"
Enkidu turned his head and looked into the distance. For him, who has the highest level of breath perception, he can detect the breath of other people from a long distance. Assassin, who has A-level breath shielding, can detect the breath of others at close range. , will also be perceived by him.
Feeling the aura dozens of miles away, Enkidu slowly told him the information.
"Rider and Saber have stopped fighting. The servant giving off an unknown aura is attacking another servant, it seems to be Acrher..."
Halfway through, Enkidu stopped speaking involuntarily when Acroher's breath appeared. He was so familiar and nostalgic that Lancer was very sure that this was the king he was familiar with.
"Is it you?"
Emotions of confusion and anxiety rumbled in his chest, but they were soon overcome by overwhelming joy.
Just like destiny, many ironic things will always happen in the Holy Grail War.
Obviously the outcome will not change, it is just that you take off his head, or the other party digs out his heart.
The fate intertwined between the two people will never be broken even if they fight a thousand times.
Lancer smiled naturally, and the originally dull corners of his mouth turned into overflowing joy.
It's great that he can come to this Holy Grail War.
