Chapter 1733 Free Running

Hearing Jasmine's words, Blazer had a strange expression on his face. His first reaction was that Theresa knew this core guardian, so Theresa was quietly setting a trap again.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head. How could it be possible? This was at most a trap set by the Age of Gods. Even if Theresa was a survivor of the Age of Gods, all the problems of the Age of Gods could not be blamed on Theresa.

Otherwise, he, as the heir to the fire of the Gods, would also be responsible. He doesn't want to do that kind of thing.

Blaze thought as he caught up, and after the Core Guardian killed all the Sons of the Evil God who approached the Son of Rust Moon, he immediately turned around.

However, the Core Guardian did not rush towards the Son of Rusty Moon, nor did he rush towards the Sky Pillar, but rushed straight to the periphery.

The running posture made Blaze feel a little touched, as if the core guardian was not heading to a certain destination, but was just running for the sake of running.

Blaze subconsciously slowed down, stopped on a high ground and looked at the Core Guardian who was running farther and farther away from him.

"Aren't you going to ask why?" Theresa's voice came from behind. She seemed to feel that this topic was not suitable for voice communication, so she chose to talk face to face.

"...Of course, the Floating Island Station is under Chiron's control, so there won't be any problems."

Blaze glanced at Theresa, crossed his arms, and raised his chin towards the Core Guardian.

"Is it really what I think?"

Theresa wanted to remain silent for a while, but unfortunately she didn't want to leave her post for too long. She sighed and said.

"Yes, it is those born with disabilities, especially those who have lost their mobility, who are responsible for being transformed into Core Guardians. Of course, this is voluntary..."

Blaze didn't hear what Theresa said next, his eyes fell on the running figure.

He had paid attention to the prosthetic transformation of the Age of Gods. If the disability was acquired, it would be fine after installing a prosthetic limb made with Age of Gods technology, but congenital disabilities would not be treated.

This involves the level of the soul. People who are born with disabilities do not have the ability to control the missing part because they do not have that part of the soul when they are born, so they do not have the physical body either.

Even in the Age of Gods, there is no way to make people born without legs run on their feet like normal people, but such people with congenital defects are actually very suitable for alienation and transformation.

In some records related to artificial bodies of the Age of Gods, the more severe the congenital defect, the more suitable it is for transformation.

Their missing parts can be equipped with any type of alien prosthesis, even a spider body, without any problems and without any burden.

It's like a God-given [talent].

This talent is a mockery, a kind of helplessness, who would be willing to choose this talent? Perhaps many people with awareness are willing to exchange congenital disabilities for this, but who is born with awareness?

Living beings are always demanding what they lack and seeking completeness, but these people who are born with defects have been lacking what they should have since they were born.

Look at the core running. It is just running, enjoying the feeling of having two legs. Even those twisted and disgusting legs bring it unprecedented happiness.

"...Will she keep running like this?"

"No, she's dying." Theresa looked at the core runner with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth, but some words were already in her throat and were about to come out.

She knew more than Blaze; using the knowledge of the Age of Gods, the condition of the Core Guardian should be described as "corrosion." The saltwater Tiamat invaded the Core Guardian, creating a physical body for it, giving it legs, and even replacing the damaged body of the Age of Gods creation with new flesh. However, the replaced body was incredibly grotesque and terrifying, looking as if it had been invaded by evil forces.

Theresa didn't know whether to use the unpleasant word "erosion" to describe it. The core guardian did not betray his mission to guard the safety of the Son of Rust Moon. Even the heir to the Fire of the Age of Gods would not give up his authority.

Tiamat, the salt water of the sea, was an existence that they could not understand at all, and that was why she had to be careful with her words and actions in front of Blaze.

She knew that the boy would eventually have to face the salt water Tiamat. If he faced it with stored hostility, he might miss out on what he did best.

"The consciousness, or soul, of a fully transformed person is stored in a data core. If you destroyed her core, her soul would naturally dissipate. However, it seems her soul summoned the power of the salt water Tiamat to create a new body for her, making this new body a temporary vessel."

"But... after all, too much time has passed, and this body isn't her natural body. When the last of the gods' creations were stripped from her body, the one with the complete body was probably dead."

"...Really? You know her name."

"Those who become Core Guardians will not be recorded in the archives."

"I understand." Blaze sighed softly and walked towards the Core Guardian.

The core guardian was tired and exhausted from running. He stood on the grass and looked at the sky as if he had fulfilled his lifelong wish.

To be honest, the current Core Guardian looked like a hideous monster in the wild, with twisted muscles all over her body, bone spurs piercing her skin without any reason, not to mention her face, which was completely twisted into a ball. Only half of her female metal face proved that she was once a Core Guardian.

It was difficult for Blaze to feel any so-called emotions from such a [thing]. If he had not learned about the Core Guardian from Theresa, he would have taken action without hesitation.

But after understanding it, all the actions of the core guardians can be reasonably explained.

I'm just carrying out my mission and protecting what I should protect.

It’s just that if you don’t understand, it’s hard to understand.

"Ha~ As expected of a man from the Age of Gods, with that invincible and unbreakable will." Blaze laughed and turned his head to look into the distance.

Another day has passed, the sun has risen again, a new day has begun, and a new crisis is coming.

Blaze heard some strange noises. He knew what the Core Guardian was doing without looking. She was taking off the last creation of the Age of Gods on her body - half of the female metal face.

If it was pulled out, she would die, but she easily took off the metal mask and handed it to Blaze.

"As a souvenir? This is so embarrassing. Jasmine and I were quite harsh on you just now. So..."

Blaze was stunned. The core guardian's body had disappeared into dust. In the blur, a young girl stood in the dust, waving goodbye to him with a bright smile on her face.

"Goodbye... I really hope you can live in good health in our era."
