Players' NPC boss

This is a degradation for the machine.

No matter how powerful the body is, it will age, and even the noble dragon will fall into a death-like slumber. But the machine does not. It can repair itself, replace damaged parts, and update and expand its own thinking.

For humans in the Age of Gods, changing bodies was a taboo, denying the uniqueness of life. Therefore, the technology of consciousness transfer is prohibited, and it is also a method of suicide mentioned by the resistance forces of the Age of Gods.

But for the machine Chiron, replacing body parts is nothing more than self-repair. Even if the current body parts are not the original ones, he can clearly and reasonably judge that he is always himself.

Because his mind is a string of data that can be simply copied and pasted. Human beings, or life in other words, are different. What stores thoughts is a complex organ called the brain. Even at the end of the Age of Gods, all functions of the brain were not fully developed.

Transferring your own thinking modules into a brain made to imitate humans is full of risks and is undoubtedly a wrong decision.

But Chiron didn't hesitate. He wanted to be life, and making mistakes is a normal part of life.

He shut down his body functions bit by bit, and finally reached the core processor. This would be the first shutdown in an unknown number of years, and it would also be the first time he woke up from a long sleep and opened his eyes as a living being.

…

Blaze came to the Sea of ​​Snakes again, and he could be said to be a frequent visitor here.

But today, the snake sea was unusually quiet, like a deep swamp. Only the hissing sound that made people feel chilling could make people realize that the dark area in front of them was snakes.

"What's going on?"

Although this may be an illusion, Blazer did not want to make the mistake of "thinking it was an illusion, but something really happened, and he was not ready yet."

[I think it’s an illusion] This thing itself may also be a kind of FLAG.

So he looked at the chicken, which was preening its feathers leisurely. He looked up and saw Blaze looking at him.

"Shall I go?"

"What if?"

Chicken spread her wings and flew high into the sky despite feeling nauseous. Using [View Sharing], she could provide Blaze with a high-altitude view.

But unfortunately, the snake monsters in the snake sea are just like the sage time after overexertion, crawling listlessly... It seems that there is really nothing abnormal.

The chicken took the trouble to hover over the Sea of ​​Snakes, but Blaze didn't leave until she said yes.

Blaze felt sorry for the chicken that had been flying for so long, so he waved the chicken down.

Not to mention the Sea of ​​Snakes, even the Ganges River is extremely quiet.

"Is it really an illusion?" Blaze took one last look at the Ganges River unwillingly. He didn't feel at ease, so he kept standing around the sea of ​​snakes.

The battle lasted a whole day, the sun rose and set, and they even teamed up with strangers to eliminate a sea of ​​snakes. He breathed fire, then rushed forward with the Stranger, and then fled together in a panic as the Sea of ​​Snakes recovered.

Because some strangers lacked physical strength, he even carried them and carried them away.

By the end of the night, [Kronos Gear] should have been fully charged, and Blaze had to leave. He didn't know whether he should be grateful that nothing happened.

Not long after Blaze left, all the snakes in the snake sea raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction where Blaze left. A cold light emitted from the snakes' eyes, and they whispered like cold wind blowing on the earth.

[The lion has left]

[This great blasphemy, this sacred usurpation]

【Unknown】

[Let’s fight, let’s fight, and use our corpses to build a new throne]

The Ganges River boiled again, and the scarred overlords bit and nibbled at each other, twisting together in a sad posture.

The screams of pain and the sobs of grief are hymns to celebrate the birth of new life.

That is the soul that is about to challenge the vacant throne.

…

When Blaze returned to Piliwen Cave, he found Chiron standing with his back to him.

"Hey, teacher!" Blaze patted Chiron's back hard. Unexpectedly, Chiron fell to the ground with a clang.

"well!"

Blaze was startled when something stood behind him. Blaze subconsciously turned around and punched, and a pair of generous palms grasped his fist.

The warmth of life came from those palms.

Blaze was stunned when he looked at the person who caught his fist. It was Chiron, Chiron the Centaur.

"It's become like this." Chicken didn't seem surprised at this development and sighed.

"Blaize, it's me, I have become life." Chiron smiled and pressed Blaze's fist.

Chiron's voice became strangely warm, probably because Chiron was speaking. It was no longer a cold voice synthesized by strange ancient science, but the voice of a middle-aged man full of warmth and magnetism.

"Haha~ It's too fast." Blaze didn't know how to react for a moment, so he took a few steps back and looked at Chiron seriously.

【Sage Chiron LV175】

[Pankrasin Z/Magician Z/Senluo Wanxiang A/////]

Because centaurs also belong to the category of beasts, Blazer analyzed Chiron's attributes. Although there is no "Great Soul" or "Noble Soul" in it, considering that Chiron was still a lump of iron a day ago, Blaze has nothing to worry about.

"Unfortunately, most of my skills have disappeared because I left the mechanical body."

"Do you need time to adapt to your body?"

Chiron just smiled and raised his hand. In his palm was the [Kronos Gear].

Time accelerated again, and everything around him slowed down. Obviously, except for the loss of skills, all abilities were still there.

"I am studying how to use MP to drive the energy core of the Age of Gods technology. If this skill barrier is overcome, the Age of Gods technology can be perfectly inherited by the humans of this world."

"Well, it seems that everything is stable and getting better." Blaze lifted up Chiron's mechanical body on the ground, patted it and asked, "What are you going to do with this?"

"Discard it, no, seal it up." Chiron glanced at his mechanical body and frowned, as if he was somewhat repulsed by this old body.

"Really? It's not bad to keep it as a souvenir." Blaze lifted Chiron's mechanical body and placed it on a chair beside him. He also very considerately helped the mechanical body to pose in a position that he thought was comfortable.

After doing this, Blaze nodded with satisfaction.

"After all, you have been with me for hundreds of hours, my teacher."

For some reason, Chiron felt that his organs were producing some inexplicable emotions, so he immediately stepped forward and pressed Blaze's shoulders.

"I am your teacher. Although I have changed my body, my main body is my consciousness."

Chiron knew that this emotion was [jealousy], and he was happy about it, which meant that he had finally taken the first step towards having a soul.
