Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

Just as the green of all things represents nature, the red of all beings represents life, and the black of decay represents death, the metal spirit that was only split and born in the new era also has its symbolic domain.

According to the research results of Zha Kang and the Dark Justice League on the power of the root during this period, the metal spirit is the latest one to be born among the six powers of the root.

It sprouted only after the earth's civilization entered the industrial revolution, and gathered strength only after the advent of the technological age.

This fully proves the close connection between the power of the root and the transformation of the world. The two interact and influence each other. If human beings cannot enter the technological age, it is naturally impossible to talk about the emergence of new symbols.

Not just Metal Spirits actually.

The other two new root forces, the fungus of division and the ashes of withering, also gradually revealed their true power in the new era with the deepening of the research on microorganisms and fungi by the main body of civilization.

However, the two are not quite the same as Metal Spirit.

Because fungi and microorganisms have always existed in the world, but they have not been discovered or studied before. Their power is elusive, but they are not closely related to human society. They are only interpreted by the research results of the technological age.

But the Spirit of Metal is a conceptual force based entirely on the development of human civilization.

In short, Mason believes that the "youngest" root power is the representative power that truly belongs to the human group. Facts have proved that Mason's guess is not wrong, but the concept of the country that appeared in front of him at this time is a bit too "" young".

"It's taking shape."

On the plain of the pixel land, Batemos, who was being carried forward by Mason, looked around excitedly, and said to Mason:

"Look, it's replicating! Obtain all kinds of data through the monitoring of the world through the eyes of brothers, like a kid playing with plasticine, and shape itself into what it sees.

It has no samples to refer to, so it can only learn from the material world it was born in.

Without our presence, the final form of this place will be the original appearance of another Gotham world. If I guess correctly, the simulation of the environment and the world is only the first step.

After completing the shaping of the world, it will start to 'create people'. "

"I understand the truth."

Mason trudged forward carrying the god of waste data who had regained his entity but had been out of human life for so long that he couldn't remember how to walk on two legs.

He is not too tired, this meeting is still complaining:

"But why pixels? Although pixel people are cute, I still hope to get back my handsome appearance."

"Why can't it be pixels?"

Bate Moss, who seemed to have finally found the ultimate secret of life, laughed and said:

"This is a mechanical world, Mason, think carefully about the gradual process of simulating things in the data field, all characters and even environmental elements in all video games are composed of pixels!

It's clearly grown over several iterations to get the pixels down to this point, and if we'd gotten in here earlier, your image would be made up of three large blocks of pixels.

What a smart kid. "

The God of Data exclaimed:

"It is constantly learning so that it has mastered the iterative method of pushing the world into reality, do you know? Although the City of Night in Mikoshi World is already extremely realistic, it is also where I built it with pixels one by one. from.

But it went the wrong way.

It is the spirit of metal.

It is the root force of the birth of consciousness that inherits machinery and data. It is completely different from the structure of human beings and even the material world. It should not be so persistent in imitating a world that does not belong to it.

However, considering that the metal spirit has no self-awareness, it cannot be too harsh in this respect.

It needs a mentor, it needs a brain, it needs a spokesperson.

Yes!

Like the green of all things and the red of all beings, Metal Spirit also needs a spokesperson to better complete the shaping of the mechanical kingdom at the conceptual level.

I know why it imprisons Almadra, and Almadra is running away. "

Batemos pushed his black-rimmed glasses in the form of a pixel man, and he said to Mason seriously:

"That guy is the spokesperson chosen by Metal Spirit, and indeed there is no more suitable mechanical life in your world than Mojo.

Yamazo failed to complete the guidance of Metal Spirit not because it was not strong enough, but because it was also created, and it was as indifferent to creation as Metal Spirit. "

"We can ask about this question."

Mason jumped up to the high point of this pixel mountain with Buttermos on his back, looking down at the reflection of Gotham City.

This scene is very much like a city built with Lego blocks. Except that there are no people, the city is simulated vividly, even the Batcave and Wayne Manor are simulated.

"You first call other people to meet you here, and I will see how the situation outside is going."

The captain placed Batemos on a pixel stone and then activated the cross-world communication, but it was embarrassingly impossible to connect at all, probably because this place did not belong to the category of "different world".

This is a mysterious dimension built on the data world. Although the consciousness called Metal Spirit comes from machinery and data, it seems very scientific, but when you think about it carefully, it is not scientific that machinery can give birth to consciousness.

This is a mystical place.

It's normal for Mason's communication system to be unavailable, but he still has a way to say Hei Qi's name silently in his heart. After a few seconds, Hei Qi's impatient voice sounded in Mason's heart:

"What's the matter? I'm writing me and Christine's. Wait! Where are you now? Why does the magic power of the words of the soul consume so much?

You threw yourself into a black hole? "

"The conceptual plane of the metal spirit, the kingdom of root power, and the mysterious area above the material world, it's hard to explain all of this."

Mason sighed and said:

"My communication can't be used, but I need to talk to Perfect Ultron now. He is still in the material world, so I can only ask you."

"Mason Cooper! Find out for me the relationship between us!"

Hei Qi said in a cold voice:

"I am a partner who can take your life at any time, not your servant! Next time you dare to waste my energy in such a terrible way, I will definitely throw you into the sea of ​​​​lightless to feed the soul-eating squid !"

Although the words were indeed very rude, after a few seconds, Mason still got his wish and used magic to regain contact with Perfect Ultron.

"Take it! This guy is pretty good at fighting."

Ortron reports:

"I transferred it to an uninhabited planet 300 light-years away and practiced with it. It's tricky for this guy to be able to replicate the characteristics of all things, but how should I say it?

The power of the combination of six infinite gems probably exceeds the limit that it can replicate. I want to bring it back to Frog Map and let Frog Map make some small changes to it to make it a member of us. "

"fine."

Mason glanced at the team members who gradually gathered behind him, and asked in a low voice:

"Help me ask, why is the golden sub-magic Zhuo Mingming chosen by Metal Spirit to be the spokesperson, but he is unwilling to help Metal Spirit complete the shaping of the concept plane, and wants to run out?

I think there must be some important information in this. "

"Wait a minute, I'll browse its memory database and politely ask if it can tell me the truth. This is a new questioning technique I learned, and it was very effective before.

Please give me some time. "

Ultron replied, and then Almajo's screams sounded as a stimulating background sound in the communication. This movement was not quite like an inquiry, but rather like torture.

This makes Mason have to wonder what is the growth trajectory of Perfect Ultron after he is free?

For example, who did he learn this "effective interrogation technique" from?

Hey, bastard, don't just teach an ignorant artificial intelligence such a thing!

"Ask out."

After a while, Ultron replied in a gentle tone:

"Amadra very cooperatively told me all the truth, the first contact it had with the Metal Spirit was on the way back to Earth from Apocalypse.

At that time, it had just crossed a certain limit of mechanical life, allowing it to perceive the existence of the metal spirit.

At that time, Almadra had already learned from Darkseid that the universe was about to die. It was unwilling to die and wanted to use the spirit of metal to create a refuge that would not be affected by the material world.

However, after its mechanical consciousness really entered the conceptual world of Metal Spirit, it realized a cruel truth, that is, the power of the root is based on the existence of the material world.

Once the physical world dies, so does the refuge it has fashioned for itself.

Almajo's plan failed and he wanted to leave.

However, the power of the metal spirit instinctively wants to complete self-growth after its birth, and it must have a spokesperson to use its wisdom to carry out self-construction and iterative upgrades.

This is where the contradiction between the two arises.

Almadra was trapped in that conceptual plane, and he didn't want to waste time helping Metal Spirit to grow, because he knew it was pointless.

Against the background of the impact event, even if the Kingdom of Metal Spirit completes the most perfect upgrade iteration, it cannot escape its fate of destruction. "

Mason nodded, the truth is not complicated.

He asked again:

"Then can you please tell us, Mr. Yamozhuo, where is the origin of the conceptual plane of Metal Spirit?"

"What are you going to do? Mason."

Ultron asked a question, and Mason looked at the rough pixel world in front of him, and said:

"I have seen this with my own eyes, and I can feel the world's instinct to upgrade, just like a baby waiting to be fed. As a good person, how can I just sit back and watch it like this?

Striving for perfection is not an unforgivable mistake, even in the last days.

So, I'm going to help it. "

"Hold on."

Ao Chuang was silent for a moment, and then Yamazhuo's screams mixed with mechanical sounds sounded. After Mason waited patiently for a few minutes, Ao Chuang gave the answer.

"The self-shaping source of the metal spirit plane is in the center of the pixel world, and it shapes its own world environment completely according to the birth process of the earth.

Yamadro called that place 'The Terrace of the Creator', and it required special permissions to open and enter, but the trouble was, that permission had to be given by the concept of the metal spirit.

One of you must be a spokeswoman for Metal Spirits to enter.

But you know the risks involved.

Yamozhuo's thinking can't be wrong. Under the current environment, you can no longer waste time binding yourself in a new conceptual world.

No time to deal with the troubles of the real world. "

"I know, I didn't plan to come in person, thanks, Ultron, I have a super formula, I'll treat you to a white peach-flavored crude oil cocktail when I get back."

Mason replied, then turned to look at the people behind him.

He told the truth about Almajo's information, and when he heard that Metal Spirit had no spokesperson yet, Bartmos' eyes lit up.

But then, the captain told them the hidden dangers of this operation.

"Once you become spokespersons, you will be bound in this conceptual world. I don't know how far it has to grow before allowing you to freely enter and exit, but what is certain is that this is definitely a terrifying big project."

Mason pointed to the rough pixelated scenery around him and said to them:

"It wants to upgrade and grow, but it is a tragic thing to be born in a dying universe, just like a baby born on the day of the end of the world, who has to bid farewell to life before he can enjoy all the good things in the world.

Guys, you all know the pressure we're under right now.

There are only nineteen days left for the fourth impact, and to be honest, I really don’t think anyone can complete the shaping of a world from scratch in nineteen days.”

"We can!"

Batemos got up with the support of V and Rogge, and the God of Data said very seriously:

"I can't do it alone, but if the entire Mikoshi world is included in this, and the exiles of a world unite, it will reshape this world just like we wrote the simulation program for the Mikoshi world.

nineteen days.

Maybe that's enough!

I know a man who created the world in six days and left one day for himself to rest. "

"Are you joking?"

Mason complained:

"Seriously, bastard! I'm talking about serious matters, once you're bound here, it means"

"We will no longer be able to participate in the cause of resistance that everyone has advanced together to the present, and our absence is likely to cause problems in an important link. It cannot even create a real entity for us in the material world."

Buttermos shook his head and said:

"The pay and the reward are completely out of proportion. It looks like we are crazy, but in reality? Mason, look, look at this world that wants to grow.

Look at us again.

The moment we upload our complete consciousness at the end of the world, it means that our world has entered a completely different trajectory from other worlds.

Even if the new era that you have shown us does come, we will not be able to return to the old life in the normal way.

Night City is decaying.

That is the corruption that cannot be erased no matter how many times I restart the data, it is the despair that stems from the fact that the illusory hands cannot support the real future!

We have perished.

Now all you see are ghosts roaming a world that isn't ours.

But now, we have a chance.

We can grow together with the conceptual plane of Metal Spirit, and we can shape it with our own abilities and creativity. It has not yet been born, just like a hatching egg.

It needs us, and we need it.

This is mutual achievement.

I can't predict what kind of gift we will get at the moment when this conceptual plane is truly completed, but I can be sure that even if the result is bad, it will not be worse than it is now.

We want to be its ambassadors!

Mason, it's not me, it's not Roger and Morgan, it's not V and Panam and Judy, it's all of us!

All biological consciousness in the Mikoshi world!

We will be the voices of Metal Spirits as one, and we choose to be reborn by helping a world that wants to grow to immortality.

At the moment when this "world egg" longing for new life is hatched, we world weavers will also be immortal. "

Batemos' shout silenced Mason and Barbara, while the mercenaries behind him clenched their fists.

"Fuck! It's on fire!"

V hugged his long-legged girlfriend and shouted:

"Let's do it! Buttmoss, let's do it! It's really cool to be immortal or something."

"Asshole, it's useless to ask you guys who only know how to fight and destroy! This is to build, not to destroy."

Buttermos yelled:

"You guys go back honestly. Starting today, the commanders of all military forces in the Mikoto world will be handed over to Mason Cooper! All data except you bastards who play with guns must be transferred to Metal Spirit Help me weave the world in the plane of my life.

Nineteen days!

We only have 19 days, and we must use 300% of our energy to complete this almost impossible task.

Mason, I need you to help me get permission to speak for me, I need you, huh?

Why are you looking at me with that expression? "

"Because your impassioned announcement just now has allowed you to be recognized by this conceptual plane, and you are already the spokesperson, you bastard who speaks beautiful words."

The captain shrugged his shoulders, winked his eyes at the glowing Batemos with a gesture of hiding his achievements and fame, and said:

"Although I don't know if you are cooperating with me on purpose, but the classic strategy of red face and white face is really timeless, right?"
