Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 778 The Real Sun

"I hope so. Fortunately, he can no longer play any tricks. The three layers of defense were broken by our immortal magic. It seems that even the helper with invisible power has different levels of strength. This game , we won.”

There are no enemies on the battlefield, only your own people. Along the way they came, Shangluo and others got into the elevator again.

The elevator girl was still standing there, and the dial-like floor pointer was still spinning.

"By the way, Apollonia, do you think Pompeo's vision is worth looking forward to?"

Just like at the checkout interface of the level, Shangluo began to chat with Apollonia about the gains and experiences from this operation.

【I am looking forward to the future of the country 'Colombia Automata'. 】

"Eh? Why?"

[Because every automaton there is the same as me, longing to be truly born. It's just that their power level is relatively low, and they can only carry it with their clockwork heads. The set of Alchemists I am currently using cannot actually withstand the completion of me, but it can at least allow me to exist as a 'person'. I don't know why, but I actually sympathize with them. And, it’s also kind of funny. 】

"You mean Pompey the Younger's feast?"

She paused for a moment: [Although there is a curtain limited by hardware conditions between me and the reality. However, I believe that one day, I can truly be born into this world - I was really in a hurry once. But it's much better now. 】

She thought about it again: [This feels very vague and hard to say, but I can give you an example - if Cao Cao and Liu Bei both control the Han Dynasty, what is the biggest difference between them? The biggest difference is that Cao Cao is an outsider after all, and the gap between him and the Han Dynasty is almost unbridgeable, even if he marries his daughter to the emperor. But Liu Bei is different. If Liu Bei controls the Han Dynasty, he can easily get the 'ultimate comfort' that Cao Cao dreams of but cannot ask for.

[Cao Cao said that when he was young, he wanted to be a general in the Western Conquest, but when he was old, he could only raise his glass and ask the sky at the Tongque Tower: "Who can know my heart?" Yes, there are so many clansmen of the Han Dynasty, there are so many, they are worthless at all. The people selling straw sandals in Zhuo County could be members of the Han clan, and there were a lot of them around him, but Cao Cao himself was not a member of the Han clan. Can you understand this feeling? 】

【Because you are here. ] Apollonia also made a speech summarizing the level, [I feel like no matter what needs I have, you will help me meet them. In this case, of course I don't have any need to 'become a human', so I can just take my time. Just seeing these automata working hard to pursue light, I thought I could give them a tiny ray of light to make them feel more at ease. How to compare it?]

"Oh, I almost forgot, you don't really support the lighthouse project?"

[It’s him, he’s trying hard to be a human being, and it’s really fun. Maybe the clockwork head was too crude even for him, causing some deviations in his perception. But if they really succeed, I don't mind guiding them to pursue the real path - to let them know how to live as human beings. And, this also provides a second alternative to the lighthouse plan. 】

"why?"

[Because that is the plan of the Helios organization. The Lighthouse Project, led by Helios and the Muses, actually had little to do with me. If it were up to me to decide, I would prefer a future of automatons. Isn’t it good to live in this world? Sunshine, flowers and dew can only be enjoyed here. How come there are people who want to escape by any means necessary from a world that I haven’t personally experienced yet? Although--】

"I can understand that Cao Cao can never live in harmony with the Han Dynasty. After all, in all senses, I believe that when he was young, Cao Cao did have the heart of a general who conquered the West, leaving Cao Cao with room for choice, but not many."

[The same situation applies to automata. They want to be human, but they are not human. They were still close after all. But if it were me, I would probably give them spiritual light and 'human' identity. 】

"Can you still do this? Why didn't I see it?" [I actually didn't see it either. But I feel that I can indeed do this - well, it doesn't matter now, I work for Heaven now. It doesn’t matter whether the future Helios chooses or the future I choose. There can only be one sun in the sky, and this sun is now Cathay. 】

"Ding." The elevator arrived at the target. Shangluo walked out of the elevator.

The sun shines in from outside. This is the long-lost sunshine, real sunshine. The train station was crowded, and it was a beautiful morning. The night has passed, and now it is morning. The wonderful sunshine is shining from the west, which is really amazing.
"Huh???" Almost at the same time, Shangluo, Phaethon, and Fu Yuanshan who stepped out of the elevator also noticed.

"Wait a minute, why is the sun in the west!" Phaethon tightened his grip on the Spear of the Sun God. "The sun is out, but something is not right. According to the time, it should be dawn now, and the sun should be in the east. But now the sun is West is on the west. This is it.”

【dusk. Twilight. He finally showed up. 】

"Finally, he showed up." Phaethon lowered his voice.

"Who? Who showed up?" Shangluo said in surprise.

"Look ahead." Phaethon held his head and turned his head towards the crowd of people in the train station——

Shangluo discovered that everyone had double horns on their heads.

It is a goat-like curved double horn that grows from the top of the head and twists around the ears. The men and women here don't look out of the ordinary except for these two horns.

[The two-horned god Amon Zeus. Sure enough, this is his home court. The big fish was really caught. 】

"Isn't that your brother?"

[My brother I have never met. I was thinking about how he could not intervene in the chaos in Rome. Now, he is indeed here. After Helios showed the lighthouse, he finally started to show his future. It's just that hiding it in such a deep place does seem like his style. He showed the end of Helios, and also showed my fallacy. Neither road led to New Antioch, and both were defeated by you. Now, he may start to show his planned future. I don't know what he wants. 】

The evening wind blew over, carrying the fragrance of lavender and wheat.

After walking outside the subway station, Shangluo looked south - on the Hudson River, a tall statue of God stood there. There are no shackles under his feet, nor seven rays of light on his head. Only the two-horned god stands on the earth, staring into the distance.

Everyone around them turned a blind eye to their arrival. No one noticed that they had no horns on their heads.

However, not everyone has not noticed——

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Shangluo." Little Pompeo's motorcade with two horns appeared at the door and opened the door for Shangluo. "On Friday morning, I want to treat you to apple pie."
