Chapter 409 A Painful Choice, The Name of Elya!
In the past, Ye Xuan judged combat strength by the size of the mechanical body.
But now his body is almost completely broken down, so it's impossible to know his actual strength.
"If I've protected them for generations, I must have lived a very long time by now, right?"
The older you get, the stronger you become, especially in this game world.
Game time can almost be used as a standard to judge the skill level of an average player.
The people around were constantly busy, bringing over small items every now and then.
A moment later, it started banging something on Ye Xuan's body.
These things seem to be quite precious to humans as well.
Moreover, it seems that repairing Ye Xuan's fire is also consuming human lifespan.
Many people's hair turns white without them even realizing it.
Time passed quickly; Ye Xuan couldn't even remember if it was a year, five years, or ten years.
Its flame no longer burned fiercely, but it was not extinguished either.
The humans here are using the combined strength of their entire race to sustain Ye Xuan's life.
I can't quite tell if it's gratitude or warmth.
Having accompanied the humans here for many years, Ye Xuan gradually came to regard them as his juniors.
This fragment of memory contains no battles; it simply records Ye Xuan's life with this group of humans.
It was a very, very long time before the memory scene finally ended completely.
Even Ye Xuan felt a sense of reluctance at the end.
Congratulations on obtaining the fourth memory fragment – Home!
"Even this fragment of Ye Xuan has endured for so long, must it have encountered some fierce battle?"
The people observing from outside were very surprised.
Because the time the Black Dragon spent on this level was the sum of the time spent on the previous two fragments.
They were initially worried that Ye Xuan would overtake Black Dragon's progress here.
But unexpectedly, the time taken by the two was very close for the first time.
"The king said there are five fragments of memory in total."
"Now we've reached the fourth stage, which is likely a large-scale battle beyond our imagination."
"Fortunately, Black Dragon has already been inside the fifth piece for quite some time now."
This time, there's no need to test the trajectory map again, because Ye Xuan didn't move at all in that memory scene.
Sure enough, this time there were no forks in the road.
Step out.
"521, we've received information that these humans are attempting to control the machine race."
"Now, annihilate them all immediately!"
In the past, Ye Xuan always took action immediately upon receiving orders.
But this time, Ye Xuan remained rooted to the spot without reacting.
For the first time, it challenged the commands of the Machine Race.
Ye Xuan discovered that its body was now thirty meters tall.
Its entire body has been transformed into precious Grade A materials.
This shows that its strength is far greater than the previous memory fragment.
This area is also the place where, in my previous memory, only a faint ember remained.
Aside from the technology base where it was born, this is the place where it spent the most time in its memory.
It also considers this place its home.
Now, the machine race's order is to destroy this home.
With its power, no human being in the region can escape its perception.
Over the years, there has never been any research that violated regulations.
I don't want to execute the command.
Ye Xuan stood frozen in place.
Its survival is all thanks to these humans.
Although they are no longer the same group of people, Ye Xuan, who watched them grow up, still remembers them.
How could I bear to kill them with my own hands?
"The machine race army will arrive in 10 minutes."
"If you haven't taken action by then, it will be considered a betrayal."
"You will be liquidated along with them."
Ye Xuan had long been aware of just how powerful the Mechanical Race was.
If it chooses to side with humanity, there will only be one outcome.
The instinct to obey clashed violently with the warmth of home.
Conflicted, lost, unwilling...
"521, have you forgotten the question we asked you when you were born?"
"What do you do when the orders of the Machine Race conflict with your own will?"
After those words, Ye Xuan realized he could no longer sense the other soul.
"Does this mean the decision-making power is being handed over to the players?"
He disobeyed orders to help humanity, and ultimately died at the hands of the machine race.
Or they chose to destroy this home and bury all the humans who had lived here for generations.
Ye Xuan doesn't know what to choose right now.
He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to know which option was correct.
"Emotion is a very important part for the Machine Race."
"The inheritors have lived here for countless years, and a deep bond has formed between them."
"So, the most likely final option is to betray the Machine Race?"
Although this speculation was reasonable, Ye Xuan still felt that something was not quite right.
He's going to take a gamble!
Ye Xuan transformed into a Thunder Fighter and flew into the sky, beginning to bombard the area.
It's true that his attack power is very strong, but humans have been operating here for many years.
Various weapons and defensive measures are in place.
Ye Xuan was completely unable to inflict any effective damage.
"521, what are you doing?!"
Although Ye Xuan had launched an attack, the humans on the ground did not retaliate.
It doesn't matter if he can't break through the defense, but Ye Xuan's actions have already made his stance clear.
boom! boom!
The sound of countless engines rapidly approached; the mechanical race had already arrived.
Under the barrage of the army's firepower, the human base was quickly reduced to ruins.
Countless agonizing cries echoed endlessly.
"Why?"
"What did we do wrong?"
Ye Xuan did not continue to make a move, but simply remained motionless in the air.
The silvery-white flame at my heart flickered, and waves of heartache swept through my entire body.
Click!
There was no follow-up; the memory scenes shattered, and Ye Xuan returned to the memory maze.
Congratulations on obtaining the fifth memory fragment – Painful Choice!
As before, only one passage remained ahead.
It looks like we've reached the end of the maze.
But at this moment, the people outside noticed that something was wrong.
"Two exits!"
The group exchanged glances, all sharing the same guess.
The birds looked solemn.
"I never expected this maze to have different exits; Ye Xuan and General Black Dragon took completely different routes."
"If the inheritance obtained from General Black Dragon's line is not what we need, then things will be terrible."
Having dealt with Ye Xuan so many times, they naturally knew how difficult he was to deal with.
If Ye Xuan ultimately obtains the technological inheritance of the Mechanical Race.
They really don't know how much it will cost to get it back.
At this point, the black dragon had already exited the last passage.
"But at least, we beat Ye Xuan once."
Tyrannosaurus Rex doesn't care about any kind of inheritance.
All he knew was that they had finally taken the lead over Ye Xuan once.
"This is the last fragment of memory."
The final step of Ye Xuan's route led him into an endless starry sky.
"Commander Elya, that's the hideout of the Sky Wanderer space pirates."
Elya?
The original number 521 now has its own name.
He also became the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Machine Race.
At this moment, he was launching a surprise attack on the infamous space pirate Tianyou, based on intelligence.
"Everyone, move out and surround them."
"Besides annihilating the entire Tianyou, we must find the whereabouts of that item this time."
At this moment, Ye Xuan was observing from an outsider's perspective, which was completely different from before.
Elya's body has reached 100 meters in length, and the damage from various weapons exceeds 400 levels.
"Forbidden Zone, unfold!"
