Chapter 179. The Curse of the Gods

Gretel walked in the street with a deep expression, looking at the blue "sky", he almost forgot that this place was actually in a tall tower, but at this moment, Grete didn't have the energy to think about it.

He hasn't been able to get away from Antoum's words, and it is extremely difficult to accept the fact that the living human beings in front of him have no souls, because Antoum and his daughter have some metal on them, but they still look familiar to him. of humans.

And this brought a very weird feeling to Greg, because these phenomena made him realize the meaning behind it—they just talked to him were two lumps of soulless flesh and blood. A nervous system is sufficient to constitute consciousness and intelligence.

In Greg's eyes, what they said seemed to be true. The flesh and blood of the brain itself could carry personality and consciousness, and this inevitably made him feel deep fear.

As a person with abnormal abilities, although Greg doesn't know much about the essence and theory of the soul, and has never seen a dead soul with his own eyes, he is clearly aware of the existence of ghosts. The famous Skywalker once had two resentful soul followers.

Moreover, some powerful telepaths have transcended the constraints of the physical body and can travel in time in the form of pure spirit. They are already close to the so-called soul in the legend. All these things prove that the soul is the carrier of consciousness.

But Antoum said that flesh and blood alone can think, have memory and personality, and all these things are preserved in his flesh and blood. As long as special rituals are performed, a normal human like him can also become a flesh and blood titan.

The body structure of the Flesh Titan is very similar to them, and Antoum even said that the flesh and blood on Grek's body at this moment is actually alive.

So what exactly is he?

Is he a soul that can survive after death, or this flesh and blood body that can breathe and exchange substances?
If after undergoing transformation, I still have the same consciousness and personality as now, and if I can think with flesh and blood alone, then what is the soul? Is the soul really as important as they say?
And these thoughts that troubled him finally converged into the last crucial question...

Can he rely on this to get rid of the shackles on his body.

Greg was sitting on a chair in front of a pond with a downcast expression. Seeing him, the flesh and blood titans ran away as if seeing a monster, making him look as if he had been hit by Antom's words and changed. Feeling lonely and confused.

But at this moment, he is actually weighing whether there is a chance to escape.

After a short thought, he immediately figured out the situation.

First of all, he has no research and understanding of the soul, and the other party's one-sided words are not enough evidence, and they probably want to get the memory and knowledge in their own brains, which is also very reasonable...

Because the other party is a creature without soul and spirit, it is impossible to obtain his memory through simple spiritual means.

He can't afford the risk.

The bet is his soul, which Greg can barely accept, but the problem is that the bankers of this gamble are these flesh and blood titans, and all his information is just heard from them. Even a good gambler can't make a thousand.

And after putting these aside, the control of Marne and others who can deprive him of his abnormal power may not be changed by the ritual of transforming into a flesh and blood titan, let alone even if he doesn't know whether he is a soul or a body, he can draw a simple conclusion.

If he is still the current him after transformation, then the possibility of getting rid of Marne's control is not particularly high, and if he is already another individual after transformation, then the one who survives is not the current self.

He doesn't think it's him who simply has the same personality and memory consciousness. If he thinks about it, if the consciousness of these flesh and blood titans is composed of cells that don't have uniqueness, then as long as the technology is sufficient, they can completely create two identical creatures. Flesh Titan.

Then these two replicas with the same "consciousness" must not be the same creature.

While Greg was meditating lonely, there were crisp footsteps behind him.

He turned his head in some surprise, and after seeing the figure walking towards him, Grek felt at ease again. It was the beautiful young woman Mira who didn't look like a natural human being.

"My appearance seems to be in your expectation?" Mira walked behind him, jumped over Greck and looked at the pond in front of him.

Greg replied:

"The other flesh and blood titans seem to be afraid of me, obviously I am the prisoner."

Mira sat down beside him:

"They are not afraid of you, but the terrifying existence that may be hidden in your body, our birth, the destruction and doomsday we encountered, the almost eternal war, and the turmoil after being broken...

"It all comes from the gods that once existed in your body. They personally created our difficult situation and left many difficulties that are difficult to overcome and solve."

Greg said:
"There's something else in their eyes."

Speaking of this, Mira paused and said:

"They do have a bad opinion of you. After all, you are our flawed version. My companions will naturally look down on you. Even my father deeply believes that you are a degraded version of us.

"But in fact, some scholars put forward some more reasonable views. We infer that although most human beings on the ground will not be directly affected by those gods, there may be products of their metabolism in the spiritual realm, and these things will be quite different. Obvious ways quietly change you.

"It stands to reason that this kind of influence is not under the control of the gods, it is more like your understanding of the world is reshaping you, but you are not living in a normal spiritual environment.

"Because those gods are almost immortal, but in fact some gods were completely killed a long time ago.

"And these dead gods are almost all good gods who voluntarily fought against their former companions, including the gods of kindness and justice. They voluntarily transformed their bodies into a special state that could cause the death of the gods for use Kill the other gods who were trying to enslave humans at that time.

"And countless years have passed, and almost all the opponents of those good gods have survived, and even if these good gods escaped the massacre of that war by chance, these years are enough to destroy all their members.

"They abandoned immortality.

"Since then, kindness and justice have been completely dead on the ground. You humans can no longer get the response of the gods through justice and kindness, but many other atrocities can get positive encouragement and feedback. The gods are here Corrupting you in a subtle way.

"When the good god died, human beings were doomed to degenerate into what they are today without morality. Your compatriots who came decades ago have vividly proved to us this point of view of scholars.

"You are inevitably heading towards the end, and only by transforming into a flesh and blood titan can you be freed from the curse of the gods."

　resurrection!
