Chapter 1266: Survival is your mission
"Why!"

Merlin's blue eyes glowed red again, and he roared hysterically, waving his fists wildly.

"I am better than parenting, I am——"

"That's why you're the one who survived."

Blaze approached Merlin and met his stormy fists head-on. Every impact of his punches sent up waves of sparks that turned into a sea of ​​fire that looked like the end of the world.

"They trust you, so they give you this most difficult task!"

"Don't be ridiculous! Staying alive, reclaiming wasteland, rebuilding after disasters, and building a new home are things that anyone can do! Humans can do it themselves!"

Merlin's fury turned into fire spewing from his mouth, and Blaze, bathed in the fire, grabbed Merlin's mouth.

"It's not that easy to survive. Aren't you suffering because you are the only one left alive?"

"What!?" Merlin was stunned. Before the fire in his mouth was extinguished, he was dragged all the way by Blaze and crashed into the depths of the white dragon Vortigern.

"You, what do you know!" A fierce heat wave burst out from Merlin's body. The collision between his limbs and Blaze easily tore the body of the white dragon Vortigern, but he completely ignored it.

Denying Blaze's words was the most important thing at this moment.

"I know!"

Blaze pinched Merlin's face, raised his head and slammed it hard, and the fire in Merlin's eyes was reflected in his always bright eyes.

"Because I'm also afraid to [live], what if I don't win, and I don't die in the battle, and I'm the only one left in the end?"

"You!" Merlin read Chiron's memory, and a key word allowed him to extract the corresponding part.

Those crises are rare, but the terrifying thing about them is that they would not happen even once in thousands of years, but they happen one after another.

Perhaps in the eyes of others he was fearless and full of confidence, but at this moment he confessed his deepest secrets to Merlin. He was a little scared, afraid that he would be the only one who survived. He couldn't even imagine what he would be like in that situation.

Perhaps when he survives and sees himself alone in the world, his heart will kill himself.

"That's why we need you, Merlin!" Blaze grabbed Merlin and growled.

"You have to support those who survived, tell them not to despair, but to keep living! Only by living can there be hope and a future!"

"This is a difficult mission. You have to take care of those weak humans who may even be killed by their own hearts. You have to face self-pitying humans every day. You have to face humans venting their anger and cursing. Even so, you have to survive!"

Merlin's eyes flashed blue. As the Ark's AI, he simulated the scene described by Blaze in an instant. It was indeed an incredibly difficult challenge.

Humans are too fragile. Even if the technology of the Age of Gods is advanced enough to replace humans' bodies, it still cannot cure the [heart]. If the heart is sick or dead, there is no point in replacing more bodies.

[Reading Records: Ark 0001]

[I heard crying, mother, are you crying? ]

Those who were chosen and able to survive were crying in the Ark. Even his crying mother's tears today were particularly sad.

He knew that his father was not on the ship, and that he would stay behind to fight the Titans. Not only his father, but also the fathers, children, wives, and husbands of the lucky survivors were not on the ship.

After the battle with the Titans, how many survivors will there be?
I don’t know. He knew that the plan to defeat the evil Titan was full of unknowns and the probability of victory was extremely slim, so this farewell would be forever.

He moved among the grieving crowd and looked at them.

His mission is to protect this group of humans, which is a much more difficult mission than defeating the evil Titan.

It is not as simple as maintaining life. He has to keep these grieving survivors alive and well, just like taking care of fragile flowers and plants, or a dying fire. He has to cultivate the entire civilization again, and one day even help mankind return home and defeat the evil Titan.

Why am I so jealous of Chiron?
because……

Merlin stretched out his hands and slowly covered his face. There were corpses and blood all around him.

I failed.

The Titan's kick shattered the Ark. Even though he activated all the defense programs, all the humans he wanted to protect died without exception, and even the entire Ark was paralyzed.

He wanted to get up and take revenge, but his mother let him live and become hope to travel to the more distant future to help those who might defeat the evil Titan.

As the Ark's AI, he is the only one who can do this, and for this reason all the energy in the engines of the Ark's wreckage is used to maintain his normal operation.

But mother, this is such a cruel thing. You made me watch your body, the bodies of the people I was supposed to protect, rot and disappear, and in the end, not even the trace of smell is left.

Even so, you still want me to live on. Do you think I am such a powerful AI?
[Order 4: Survive] This is an order that has yet to be broken.

The white dragon Futigeng howled, and the red light in his eyes flashed a few times before it completely disappeared. His huge body slowly tilted and fell.

After death, the body of a living being with a soul will eventually turn into dust and dissipate, but a creature as huge as the white dragon Vortigern will not disappear so quickly.

Its death will be so spectacular that the sky will be covered with dust.

Blaze panted, his white armor gradually turning back to black as Amaterasu disappeared, and his silver werewolf appearance gradually returning to that of a human.

The body of the white dragon Vortigern began to dissipate, and the surroundings became dark, except for Blaze's eyes which were emitting light.

"You are just avoiding failure. Since you are the only one who survived, then live with me."

Blaze looked down at Merlin. He grabbed Merlin, dragged him out of the rubble, and walked towards the light step by step.

"Your mission is to keep me alive!"

"Survive, survive..." Merlin's eyes shone with blue light, and the fragments of memory seemed to be piecing together. The gentle whispers in the harsh red alarm gradually became clear.

"End this meaningless war now before there are any casualties! This is an order given to you by me, the heir to the Age of Gods. I should have the authority to do so."

“Authority, authority—Ahhhhhh!”

Merlin suddenly screamed, and his disarmed weapons were reactivated one by one. Even his face was covered with a metal mask, and his blue eyes turned red again.
