The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 434: Those who are more worthy of being human than human beings
"...roughly, it's completed."
Nicholas II murmured in a low voice.
He took two steps back, raised his head slightly, admiring his brand new creation——
It should be noted that that is not a human being.
Not even an "artificial human".
It doesn't even have a head.
The area above the neck is empty.
And the body below is full of contradictions - like an old and shriveled giant baboon.
The outer package uses the skin of the old man to obtain the concept of "decaying skin". But under this withered skin, there are fresh internal organs—seven hearts alone, and four livers with runes engraved on them. There is only one set of spleen and lungs, and only the lungs are native to the body.
The rest of the internal organs, sinews and muscles were all hollowed out.
Under the empty skin, there are only bones with reinforcement runes carved into them. Because human bones were not enough to support his idea, Nicholas II also killed several baboons to obtain thicker bones.
The hearts under the skin do not pump blood. They are not even connected to blood vessels, but are connected to each other... The largest heart was taken from a young man who was 1.9 meters tall, while the smallest one The heart came from a baby less than one year old.
These hearts are connected with bone fragments to form a huge and weird engine in the chest.
It looks like a cylinder.
Nicholas II took out a white handkerchief and casually wiped the blood from his fingertips.
Afterwards, he took out an opaque syringe made of pure copper - and extracted a portion of the Philosopher's Stone from the tank storing Philip's head, and injected it into the huge and deformed "Heart Engine" middle.
Then, the heart gradually began to pump for no reason.
The nerve specimen he had previously rubbed was etched into a blood butterfly. He placed the blood butterfly on the head and fixed it in place with a flat helmet that looked like a pot lid.
In this way, it can only penetrate into this specific skin and blend into the blood of this body.
Under the gaze of Nicholas II, the strange creation that looked like a giant headless baboon began to gradually expand as if inflated——
According to the runes and rough shapes planned by Nicholas II in advance... under the catalysis of the Philosopher's Stone, flesh, blood and nerves were quickly "created".
——It was a black giant nearly three meters tall.
The arm alone is thicker than Nicholas II's entire body, and just one finger is thicker than Nicholas II's arm.
The muscles gradually expanded to an astonishing degree, a level that would remind people of the Hulk. The outside of the chest is not bones, but grid-like black metal plates. A pure black protective layer that looks like a carapace and has a metallic texture gradually forms on the outside of the skin.
Even if he is sitting motionless with his hands on the ground without a head, he is still full of power.
Full of imperial intimidation.
Nicholas II took a deep breath, with a look of relief on his face.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Is this what you... massacre a village and want to create?"
Hearing this voice, Nicholas II raised his eyebrows.
He turned around, straightened up and silently looked at Annan, who was walking from a distance.
"What should I call you?"
He asked calmly: "Grand Duke Winter? His Majesty Annan? The new Nintendo?"
"Call it whatever you want."
Annan took a breath and whispered softly.
When Annan took a deep breath, the breath that came out of his mouth and nose immediately turned into white mist, wrapping around Annan.
The air around him even dropped by more than ten degrees.
Every step Annan takes will leave a clear footprint composed of frost marks. And just hearing his voice, Nicholas II vaguely felt a chill from his heart... It was like standing in the cold wind wearing wet single clothes.
Those blood butterflies were wrapped around Annan, but they didn't dare to approach.
Like a moth attracted by light, it will eventually be burned in the candle flame.
——On Annan's exposed left shoulder, there is a mark similar to the bite mark of the blood butterfly, like an "infinity" mark, which is emitting an extremely dazzling and bright light.
Just like the brilliance in Annan’s eyes.
It is colorless and infinite light.
Just looking directly at that light is enough to dissolve the minds of mortals. As long as those blood butterflies get close to the "infinite light" in Annan's pupils or on his shoulders, they will gradually become transparent and melt like phantoms of foam.
"Shouldn't it be artificial human technology that you are pursuing?"
Annan asked: "Creating people out of thin air without relying on any parent. Strong, beautiful, healthy, intelligent..."
"——The more perfect form of human beings."
Nicholas II interrupted Annan: "There is no deception, no betrayal, no misunderstanding. That is a new species born after eradicating all the shortcomings of human beings.
“They are [those who are more worthy of being human than humans]. I named them ‘transcendents’, but they themselves prefer to call themselves ‘awakened ones’.”
He kept telling stories about the past.
Annan paused.
He asked: "Have you recovered your past?"
"My past?"
Nicholas II suddenly sneered: "Is that really 'my' past?
"I - do I really have a past?"
Hearing this~IndoMTL.com~ Annan reacted.
Nicholas II...
In other words, the missing person named "Nicholas II" may have known his true identity.
"Human——"
The false thing named "Nicholas II" spouted words of hate.
A low voice sounded, accompanied by despair equal to hatred: "Human beings have been living in hypocrisy since ancient times.
"Deceive others and deceive yourself. The so-called 'wishes' are just nice things to say. In the end, when I really gave up everything and moved towards my ideal... I accidentally looked back, only to find that no one had moved.
"Everyone stood there and looked at me silently.
"No one supports me. No one worships me. The motto of 'sublimate everything to a more perfect state' that has been passed down by the Jade Tower to this day is a motto that I have devoted my life to... In the end, even the tower The Lord didn’t take it seriously.
"Just treat it as a joke, as a slogan. I am the only one who takes it seriously."
Looking at the brilliance in Annan's eyes, the dark emotions in "Nicholas II"'s heart became uncontrollably intense. Originally, I would never tell anyone again, but my extremely disappointed words blurted out under the inducement of that light.
Like a moth flying into a flame.
Like a shadow that becomes clearer after a candle is lit——
