Chapter 558 The Last Fireworks (Part )

"This is impossible!" Yaroslav's expression finally began to slowly collapse, and his face quickly changed from slightly distorted to hideous.

"The patriarchs of St. Ivan's Cathedral and the leaders of the patriarchal districts in various places all told me that Ivan XXII... Ivan XXII was taught by God, and only then did he rely on the power of the Orderer to possess these extraordinary and unimaginable great mechanical inventions." Yaroslav's lips trembled slightly, but his voice was extremely firm. He passed by Wright beside him, stared at Dark in front of him and the tall Volvya behind him, and said:
"Without magic and 'divinity', relying purely on science... it is impossible to possess such a powerful force. Everything in the world was created by the Creator. Science... is nothing more than a false proposition put forward by humans in an attempt to control the world.

"'Ivan's Machine' has never been a product of science, nor is it simply the painstaking work of Crusad's scientists. Rather, it is... an excellent embodiment of the power of God."

The two brown eyeballs in Yaroslav's wide-open eyes almost "popped out of their sockets". His old face and half of his white hair were curling inwards like a curled flower, as if each strand of hair and each piece of facial skin were desperately fighting for dominance of the head.

A few seconds later, he ignored the huge mechanical monster "Ivan's Machine" that was moving slowly behind him, and suddenly pulled out another modified pistol named "Peony" from his waist. He pushed down the slightly tired Wright, retreated a few steps, stood at the intersection of "Yudian Ankou" and the blue light grid, and aimed at Dak's head.

"Commander Yaroslav, we have no intention of putting you to death. We don't want you to die. We hope that you can live to see the day when the Crusaders drive out the 'Heartless People' and rebuild their homeland." Seeing that Yaroslav had begun to go crazy, Dak hurriedly advised.

"Back off... No one... can... destroy... the 'Fire of Divine Punishment', nor... use it... to... allow the Crusaders... to escape punishment..." Yaroslav's voice became extremely distorted. The voice that came out of his mouth sounded like a combination of a dying man and a violent man. Half of it belonged to him, and half belonged to the "Ivan's Machine" behind him.

"Captain Yaroslav, please be sober. We only hope to destroy the 'Master Control Fire of Heavenly Punishment' and avoid disaster. I know, Sophia told me that she actually knows everything about what you and the Federation Council have done. She knows that you don't want the 'Evolution Platform' to reappear, and you don't want the energy of the sun to pour down on the Cruzde continent and bring disaster." Dak stepped forward and advised with an absolutely sincere tone:
"The 'Ivan Machine' is actually very fragile, precisely because it is a machine forged by humans to imitate the power of gods. Therefore, as long as someone with 'divinity' pierces its body with a sword, it will immediately disintegrate. I, Wulfya, and the one behind you... Light Sugra, right? We all have 'divinity'. It's too dangerous ahead. Commander Yaroslav, please walk to the 'Yudian Port' and come back to our side."

"It's useless." Wolfya walked in front of Dake, stretched out his hand to protect him behind him, and said:

"It is obvious that Yaroslav has been controlled by the 'Ivan's Machine'. He just began to doubt what he believed in, and after experiencing a series of blows, his mind has fallen into a semi-empty state, just in time for the machine to control him.

"In theory, all machines created by the old empire would leave interfaces for humans to drive and control, to prevent the machines from developing consciousness for themselves and then taking unexpected destructive actions. The 'Ivan Machine' is an extreme example. It will capture people with weak wills to control and drive it in the early stages of its own actions. Humph, the 'Ivan Machine', without 'Emperor Ivan', it can rely on the remaining will of the emperor to control humans instead."

“I know, Wolfya!” Dak pushed Wolfya’s muscular left arm away and continued to move forward. From a distance, he pointed the modified “Peony” pistol that could fire at any time, stared at Yaroslav’s absolutely distorted face, and continued to advise:
"Captain Yaroslav, in fact, Sophia is still alive. Although she has consumed too much of the 'Ancient Power' and will face the punishment of the Dark God, in fact, as long as she is willing to give up the 'Ancient Power', give up the power of 'Purple Mutilation', and give up becoming the master of the 'Aesir Angel', she can continue to survive as an ordinary psychic."

Hearing this, Yaroslav's facial muscles twitched slightly, and his distorted face relaxed a little.

Seeing that the topic about Sofia was effective for Yaroslav, Dak went on to say:
"You've always known this, right? You've never forgotten this, right? Sophia, the former Lost One, is actually your biological daughter. In fact, you've always felt guilty about your wife, Sophia Rurik, the Lost One who belonged to the Church of Enlightenment, so you passed this name on to your daughter."

After saying this, Dak could clearly see that the distortion of Yaroslav's face had improved further. Before, it was a vague twisted spiral, but now, the outline of the human part could be vaguely seen.

Even though he was completely controlled by the "Ivan's Machine", Yaroslav's lips were still moving up and down, and his throat made an indistinct babbling sound, like the inarticulate wails of pain of a dying patient, but more like the desire for life of a dead person who was about to enter the underworld.

Seeing that his countermeasures had taken effect, Dak further said: "The 'new snake girl' will not kill Sophia. The ancient power in the monster's body is obviously weaker than Sophia. She only stayed in the military hospital in the town for a few days before she completely woke up. In fact, 'Wind Mine' told Sophia all the truth as early as the first day she met Sophia. She did not hate you, but concealed everything without hesitation and stayed by your side.

"Commander Yaroslav, you should know that once the 'Master Fire of Heavenly Punishment' explodes, thousands of 'Secondary Fires of Heavenly Punishment' buried from the Demonic City to the Nebsk, from the Southern Swamp to the Endless Ice Ocean will explode. The power inside the earth will be triggered, and volcanoes and lava will erupt from any unexpected place."

"Destruction...will bring...rebirth..." A few extremely annoying words popped out of Yaroslav's throat. Dak didn't know whether this was the meaning of "Ivan's Machine" or Yaroslav's own idea.

The "New Construction Plan" led to the "New Metacrisis". The "New Metacrisis" expanded the "Careless Man Disaster" indefinitely to all territories controlled by mankind. Human beings have never suffered so much disaster and pain as in the Wasteland Era. Except for the Khitanris people, everyone is struggling to survive in the stronghold, and the beginning of everything is nothing but the greed of human nature.

Humans are a greedy race, which is why they were able to suppress the dragons under the "Pillars of Zhuogen" in the "Dragon War", completely overturning the dragons' absolute control over all living things for thousands of years and ushering in the human era.

Because of greed, humans opened up the Steam Age, which was completely independent of magic power. Countless mechanical behemoths roared through the ocean, land, and sky, leaving behind dark marks to declare humanity's dominance over all things.

In front of the universe, the Creator is the Creator; in front of machines, humans are the Creator!
Therefore, human beings cannot accept that the world is out of their control. When Ivan XXII's rock-solid heart infected by the "Ivanov virus" was grasped in his hands, the last drop of humanity in his body also became extremely cold.

"Destruction does not bring new life. If all human beings disappear, it will only start the next cycle of doomed tragedy. Commander Yaroslav, you must understand that Wolfya and I share the same attitude with the Federation on 'controlling the Fire of Heavenly Punishment'. If you are willing to be controlled by 'Ivan's Machine' and willing to sacrifice your spirit and body, we don't mind sacrificing our lives." Dark said, taking off the half-fingertip glove on his left hand and throwing it into the filth on the side.

Then he pulled down the sleeves of his cotton coat, revealing a slightly abstract mark on his arm that was engraved with the concepts of "reincarnation" and "fusion". He raised his arm high where Yaroslav could just see it.

"The end of human civilization, in previous reincarnations, was when countless pure white pillars of light fell from the sky. The all-devouring dragon of fire would cover every inch of land. The world after the blazing flames would be covered in white scorch. At that time, nothing would exist except snow." Dark half-roared:

"'Void' of the 'Order Society' told me that this is the third reincarnation of my life. Relying on this 'Mark of Re-Choice', I have experienced two lives: a 'complete monster' and a 'complete human'. I know that I will never be able to escape the fate of death in the 'Red Fantasy Ruins', but this time, if you, Commander Yaroslav, are still unable to wake up, I am willing to let death... have its meaning."

Dak's statement seemed to have completely angered the "Ivan's Machine" which was in a semi-idle state. It no longer spoke human language, but instead made a very sharp mechanical friction sound together with Yaroslav's chest.

Countless tentacle-like mechanical tubes stretched out from the chin of "Ivan's Machine", wrapping and lifting Yaroslav. At the same time, the energy particles left behind by the dead psychics just now, under its manipulation, actually flew out in all directions like a rocket.

Soon, virtual storms and rainstorms poured down in the "pseudo-universe space", and the scorching raindrops completely covered all the virtual ground in an instant, as if covering the ground with a layer of white snow.

Then, countless purple light flashed and shuttled back and forth in the empty world. The white light tore an unhealable wound in the dark "universe" from the corner. In the thunder and white burning situation where strong winds and explosions were constantly intertwined, the black space, including the "Udenankou" and the "pseudo-universe space", was dyed into an absolutely white and "holy" space that continued to accumulate heat.
