Chapter 395 Meaning

"..."

The sky was gloomy. On the rooftop of an abandoned building, Meruem looked at his hands thoughtfully.

Suddenly, air waves came out from under his feet, slowly lifting him into the air.

For a powerful person with the ability to release telekinesis, it is very impressive to be able to soar into the air and rise 100 meters simply by releasing telekinesis downwards. And it cannot be sustained for long.

Meruem rose all the way to 200 meters and continued to move upwards without showing any sign of effort.

Finally, Meruem had a deeper understanding of the concept of releasing the energy. He rose to an altitude of 300 meters and looked out at the world in all directions. The dark wilderness that looked like a wasteland, the curved coastline, the straits that were like shadows all around, and the human world in the distance...

He had a feeling that his energy seemed to be able to travel infinitely and go to any place within his will.

When thoughts and heart are united, you will reach the pinnacle of achievement.

Meruem's long tail circled in front of his body, and the needle behind his tail pointed into thin air, releasing a ball of air that turned into a plane made of white light.

Meruem walked over and sat down, resting one hand on his knee.

boom--

The light shuttle carried Meruem towards the strait, like a meteor that suddenly flew away.

"Hey! Meruem! Where are you going?!"

  On the rooftop of the abandoned building, Chelihi shouted to the sky, what happened, suddenly, the ant king ran away?

"There must be something to do." Youpi, one of the three guards who looked like monsters, walked over and also looked in the direction where the light shuttle was escaping.

  "He sits in front of the computer all day long, what can he do?" Celich said, and suddenly it occurred to him, could it be that Meruem was broken by those keyboard warriors on the Internet, and in a fit of rage he went out to kill people to relax?

Bang!

Youpi leaped forward and jumped several kilometers from the top of the building. After landing, he ran as fast as he could, chasing the direction in which the light shuttle was escaping.

So sick!

Chelisi was speechless. It was instinct for the three guards to protect the Ant King. Plus, Youpi was not very smart, so he had to follow the Ant King as soon as he left, regardless of whether he could catch up or not, or whether the Ant King wanted him to follow him or not. He just had to follow the Ant King.

"Ant! Ant!"

Chelishi muttered as he rushed downstairs, ignoring the moans coming from the ant queen's room as he passed by, and went straight to the room where Meruem had been staying for the past few days. Sure enough, his laptop was still on the original table.

Celich sat over, pressed the space bar, turned on the screen, and was surprised to find that the screen was not a web page, but a very simple dialog box, or the kind that only programmers could use.

Judging from the chat history in the dialog box, Meruem's answer was shown as User, and the other party's ID was shown as Pe.

Chelixi looked through it for a while, his brows furrowed more and more.

Pe: As the ant king, do you think the meaning of your life is to conquer the world?

  User: Isn't it? Otherwise, why was I born with such a strong power?

Pe: You keep using interrogative sentences, which shows that you yourself are confused about this question. You have been thinking about the meaning of your life for a long time.

Pe: Forget about conquering the world. It's impossible. Even if you are 10 times more powerful, you can't conquer the human world. This is not a disdain for you, the Chimera Ants, or anyone else. It is just an inevitable result of the development of human science and technology to the current stage. Personal bravery has left the stage of history. Pe: By the way, the ant colonies scattered around the world have made it impossible for you to stay dormant. It is only a matter of time before you are wiped out as a group. You made a stupid move, Ant King.

User: There is no such thing as being stupid or not. The ant colony was created for me. Besides, my name is Meruem.

Pe: Do you have a name? It seems like you have a strong sense of individuality. No wonder you're thinking about the meaning of life.

User: No...I didn't come up with the name myself.

——From the timestamp, it seems that Meruem took a long time to write this short line of words. Chelich guessed that Meruem originally typed a lot of words, such as explaining that his name was given by the Queen Ant, but deleted it himself.

Pe: The queen ant gave you the name? The chimera ant queen actually gave you a name. It seems that you will have a strong sense of individuality in the future.

Why is this?

Pe sat in front of the computer, her artificial body with a demented expression, thinking. Not far away from her, another artificial body was playing military chess with Xiaomai. Xiaomai was blind and concentrating on playing chess, not realizing that Pe was making a new friend.

In the dialog box on the screen, the ant king opposite posted the research results of humans on normal chimera ants that he found on the online encyclopedia.

Among the Chimera ants, most of them, whether they are the lowest-level ant soldiers, the legion commanders, the division commanders, or the three guards of the ant king, have the reproductive ability, but they are not qualified to reproduce when the queen ant is alive. They can only obey the queen ant and serve her until death.

The instinct of the queen ant is to reproduce the ant colony, and the purpose of reproducing the ant colony is to give birth to the ant king.

After the ant king was born, he took away his three direct guards.

The king ant will, and only the king ant can, give birth to new queen ants with other females.

The new queen ant will repeat what the previous generation of queen ants did, and reproduce a new ant colony in order to give birth to a new ant king...

User: What is the purpose of life? To conquer the world? Or simply to reproduce and increase...

  Pe: The ant king seems to be just a tool for breeding the next generation of queen ants, and also the strongest bodyguard to protect the next generation of queen ants. The ambition to conquer the world that instinctively emerges in the ant king's mind after he is born seems more like a fanatical illusion to keep the ant king fighting. What do you think?

Without giving the other party a chance to answer, Pe continued typing at the speed of light: In fact, in this regard, I think humans are not much different. The only purpose is to reproduce and pass on human genes, just as the reason for being born. However, the unchanging continuation process of humans for millions of years has finally resulted in a completely new result - no more reproduction, no more death, no more birth, no more being human. For the first time, we can finally completely break free from the control of neurotransmitters, and we finally have the opportunity to know our true self...

In a sense, Pe is like preaching. In her eyes, everyone in the real world is sinking in a sea of ​​suffering. Once there is an opportunity, she would like to call on everyone to practice the great way together, enter the cyber world, merge with the world's ubiquitous electromagnetic waves, become digital life, become light, and live forever.

Pe briefly introduced the method of uploading consciousness, but the ant king on the opposite side did not respond.

After a long time, something suddenly went wrong in the dialog box. The other side fell.

Chelixi turned off the laptop and slammed it shut, looking unhappy. Not to mention the young ant king, even she couldn't help but be shaken by these bewitching words - of course, if she could get her original identity as the fourth prince back, that would be another matter.

Outside the abandoned building, the gloomy sky finally began to rain.
