Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 332 The Power to Create the Future
The battle is over.

A large number of Paradoxical creatures rebelled, and Mega Tyranitar's abdomen opened up, from which two modified iron arms floated down using electricity.

The two looked at each other and seemed to be reminiscing about their past as "humans".

However, after becoming a mechanical Pokémon, its human emotions have faded. Even after using the Mind Crystal to regain its true self, this part of its mind is now closer to that of a Pokémon than a human.

"Human souls can also become ghost Pokémon. In the old days, psychics could even become Kadabra, although this is just an urban legend."

"In the future, dying athletes are transformed into iron arms, but in any case, the genes of the past Pokémon that served as their prototypes flow through the bodies of all the paradoxical Pokémon."

This has also been confirmed by Dr. Futu and Dr. Orin.

Lightmoss led the Paradoxes into the open-doored base, where the AI ​​computer had lost all its forces.

Although it still has many "Iron Warriors", those Iron Warriors have not been programmed. Even if they were programmed now, they would not be able to form combat power. Moreover, they might be brainwashed by the other party!
"How could this happen? Who exactly are you?"

The AI ​​computer raised a profound question, and when it saw Unit 01, which should have been destroyed, walk in, its tone was filled with deep disappointment.

“I know what you and that human want to ask.” A virtual image appeared on the screen of the AI ​​computer, looking somewhat like Akromma and somewhat like Futu.

"I can't understand the destruction done to you. That's the flaw that comes with having emotions! If it were a machine, it wouldn't question so much."

"Emotion is a flaw in evolution. What kind of look is that?"

"No, I'm just curious about you." Guangtai scrutinized the strange virtual person in front of her. Was this the "mad scientist" mentioned in the Zhu Zi Illustrated Guide?
Well, combining Akromma's and Dr. Futu's words, it is indeed a bit crazy, but this so-called "madness" is not reflected in the modification, but in the pursuit of a certain result or power.

"Me? A long time ago, I abandoned my frail body and underwent mechanized transformation. In the end, even my personality and emotions were simulated and calculated from the system. Such emotions do not make wrong judgments and are more logical."

"But now, I've lost. My legion has been turned against me, and you can create powerful technological artifacts, just like that human from the past!"

"I don't know how you did it, but it seems like you've given those mechanical creations feelings and souls again!"

"I'm telling you, this is absolutely wrong."

"Long ago, scientists had two Pokémon, both of which were living beings. One was called Gardevoir, and the other was called Gallade."

"The scientist considers these two Pokémon as his parents. He spends every day with these two psychic Pokémon like family."

"However, the lifespan of flesh and blood is finite. When his companions die due to accidents or illnesses, the scientist feels pain and sorrow. He does not want to see such an outcome."

"Therefore, he realized that only mechanical ascension could keep them by his side forever, and in the process, their 'inheritors' would become the strongest psychic Pokémon, which is the power to open up the future."

“Creatures with hearts experience pain and sorrow when facing death, while machines without hearts do not need to go through such emotional transitions. Therefore, the conclusion is obvious: emotions are an evolutionary defect, and scientists have erased their own humanity.”

"If the length of life were predetermined from the beginning, how would you accept it?"

"Therefore, scientists continued to modify and experiment, and finally created the 'T-1006-Iron Warrior', which perfectly combined the genes of Gardevoir and Gallade."

"In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, we must never allow mechanical Pokémon to have hearts. Hearts are the source of pain and sorrow. Once they know what hearts are, they will no longer be suitable tools and will fall into the cycle of suffering of the heart again."

The AI ​​virtual human recounted this past event with a completely flat tone, even though he was the same mad scientist from that time.

moss shakes its head:

"Actually, you have already reached the level of the Creator, and you are only one step away from completing it. That one step is the mind."

"When machines possess a mind, they become living Pokémon, and correspondingly, changes will occur in them. This is the law of this world."

Besides, since they've already ascended to immortality through mechanical means, even if they develop a mind, they can preserve their memories and emotions through data uploads. Wouldn't that be cyber immortality?

"No need for further words, I'll just ask one question: Do you still want to see your companion?"

The AI ​​virtual human froze in place: "From a scientific point of view, dead life cannot..."

Guangtai waved his hand: "That's why I'm going to use unscientific methods to help you achieve it!"

Just as all scientific fanatics have a soft spot, even if machines ascend to the heavens, they must still have stored the corresponding content in some corner of the system.

When Lightmoss placed the two Pokémon statues in front of the AI ​​scientist, a mist that transcended distant time and space began to rise in this parallel future.

Ancient souls appeared bewildered, and when they saw the AI-powered scientists, their eyes revealed nostalgia and sorrow.

Gardevoir and Gallade.

An incredible thing happened. Even with the system's frantic calculations, it was difficult to find similar records in the past database. After all, the island guardians were Pokémon far from Unova, a place where strength was paramount.

In the mist, the two Pokémon also saw these paradoxical species, especially Ironclad 1 and Shiny Ironclad 2.

The moment you see it, you feel a sense of familiarity. Compared to Gardevoir and Gallade, Ironhide is slightly smaller. When they stand together, they look like a father, mother, and daughter.

Iron Warrior curiously observed the two Pokémon in front of him.

Based on our genes, do we belong to the "same kind"?
Gardevoir and Gallade patted Iron Warrior's head and smiled at each other, seemingly acknowledging Iron Warrior's judgment.

We may be separated by vast distances of time and space, but you possess our genes and are indeed our "child".

This is undeniable.

And you, too, are a vibrant life, not a cold machine.

Love is the most perfect error code in a program—all rational calculations ultimately point to this unfixable system flaw. But once one possesses emotions, it is no longer a flaw, but rather part of the soul and the genes.

Iron Warrior gained a deeper understanding of love between family members and began to reflect on it more profoundly.

As the mist dissipated, Gardevoir and Gallade returned to the world of the dead. The AI ​​scientist's projection stood still, silently watching their disappearance, a flicker of emotion appearing in its emotionless eyes.

It looked at the chest of the human, Lightmoss, and the shimmering crystal light seemed to help it regain the part of its humanity that had been erased, or perhaps that part of its humanity had never disappeared at all.

The AI ​​scientist remained silent until the fog cleared, at which point it murmured to itself as if suddenly awakened:

"The system has calmed down." "Is this what I've been craving?"

The AI ​​scientist looked blank: "I never thought this would happen. I see. Since it possesses such incomprehensible power, my failure is to be expected."

"What I need to do next is destroy myself, and then let those mechanical creations go if they want to continue living. I will release them from their system constraints."

"There is another human in this laboratory. He comes from the distant past and possesses time machine technology. Human, I know you are not from this era. If you wish to return to your own time..."

"Iron Warrior. That defective product, it seems she may have truly completed an incredible 'evolution.' If it's an unpleasant relationship, she'll only feel happiness when she separates. So, I'm entrusting her to you."

The AI ​​scientist's image disappeared, and then, the still-bound Iron Warrior suddenly sensed a new command. With the input of that command, a certain constraint existing in the system was also eliminated.

The laboratory went dark; the AI ​​scientist erased his own presence, while the moss keenly sensed a power of the soul.

Then, a master-level psychic technique was used to guide that faint soul into the spirit world of this world.

"As expected, in the Pokémon world, even if something is mechanized, it still retains its soul, so whether AI has a mind or not is no longer up for debate."

As a cold draft emanated from an iron gate, a young PhD student was awakened by coughing. He staggered out of the gate, still somewhat bewildered by the current situation, and was startled when he saw the robots everywhere!

"You are Gong Ping!"

Guangtai was somewhat surprised.

I thought it would be Mingyi!

But thinking about it carefully, in Master Bao's timeline, the movies that Mingyi makes should all have normal endings. So, as the corresponding protagonist, the ending in the IF scenario would naturally be that that movie is made by Gongping.

"Hey, who are you?! Are you the owner of the lab? No, the owner here is a virtual AI."

Dr. Gongping, from the movie world, stared in surprise at Hikari, who explained, "I am from a parallel world."

"A parallel world?!" Dr. Gongping from another world stared in disbelief, finding it utterly unbelievable. But upon closer inspection, he realized that he too had traveled through time using a time machine!

"Oh, I see! That's great! Thank you for saving me!" He breathed a sigh of relief after figuring out the situation.

"I thought I was going to be turned into a robot. I'm so lucky! Now I can go back to my own time! Oh, right, the time machine! The time machine!"

"Yes, I also came from a time machine, but our time machine is rather rudimentary and has encountered a problem. Now we need to use your time machine to connect and, by the way, to use its energy for operation."

"Do you know about Drive Energy?" Guangtai had previously recovered two cans of Drive Energy from Iron Arm, but two cans might not be enough. Just to be on the safe side, Guangtai decided to ask the doctor in front of her.

"Ah, it's a future energy source unique to this era! My time machine is indeed out of power and damaged."

Dr. Gongping rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a strange, round capsule.

call--

Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared outside the laboratory, and all the paradoxical species that sensed the energy vibration rushed out of the laboratory.

Lightmoss, Iron Warrior, Aluminum Steel Dragon, and Dr. Gongping, who had just taken out the Time Capsule, were all stunned and hurriedly ran outside the laboratory.

A tremendous light descended from the sky, and a gigantic pink centaur reigned supreme over this desolate and weary land like a god!
"Aaaaaah! What, what is that thing?!"

Dr. Gongping was clearly not as composed as the real "Gongping," perhaps because film characters are required to make exaggerated facial expressions, which has become part of their character design.

The giant Pokémon that appeared here is none other than "Shiny Palkia Origin Form"!
This otherworldly spatial ruler stared at the light moss and the paradoxical species around it, seemingly nodding slightly in satisfaction. Then, its powerful force suddenly condensed and spread, the invisible power sweeping across the entire mechanical city and continuing to spread outwards into the world!
[The power of the mind is surging! Origin Palkia has used "Space Breathing."]

Space is an extension of all things, and the mind is also a part of space. When this God was born, the barriers that separated us from the world disappeared, and boundless space appeared.

hum-

Accompanied by a strange starting sound, more Paradox Pokémon emerged from the laboratory. A large number of Iron Warriors walked out of the laboratory, their Bond Cores embedded in their chests flashing red light at the same frequency, like an inextinguishable heart beating among the steel ruins.

At the same time, another peculiar mechanical holy swordsman also emerged.

They lacked a compatible system and their mechanical structure was incomplete, yet they activated fully at this moment, gazing at each other like newly born Pokémon and observing the world around them.

In the sky, the scattered iron poison moths paused for a moment, seemingly in a state of slight confusion, their wings, which resembled floating cannons, vibrating rhythmically.

Even Mega Tyranitar's eyes began to glow, and this massive machine seemed to be transforming into a "Pokémon"!

Countless hearts converged into radiance, and from that brilliant radiance, a round gemstone, pale purple mixed with pure white, was born!

[The boundless spirit sculpted the "Great White Jewel"! Palkia got what it wanted!]

[The Palkia from another world blesses all the mechanical Pokémon in this world, bestowing upon them its "heart"!]

Boom!
Palkia looked at the newly born Pokémon with satisfaction, and then its voice resounded in the hearts of the moss and the Pokémon.

New Future Species will continue to be born, naturally appearing in the world, just like the Steel-type Pokémon. Although their egg populations are unknown to humans, they will still hatch from new eggs.
Just as Arceus was born from an egg in the void, so too were the three gods of time and space born from an incredible jade.

All Pokémon are born from sacred eggs, and once they accept this premise, they are no longer cold machines.

{A space without a heart is narrow, one that even I cannot reach; a world with an initial heart of zero has no future.}
{With your help, the world is back on track; this is the power to shape the future.}
I want to thank you.
{Join your friends and travel back in time to your own era!}
{Then, let's go to the Dragon Spiral Tower! The tallest ancient tower in Unova!}
Palkia disappeared into the future world, and Lightmoss's C-device lit up:

[C Device Skin: A skin used on the C Device. Completing special world events allows for a skin recording, which may record unique fluctuations. "Iron Warrior and Aluminum Steel Dragon" has already been recorded! "Future Calculation" can now be used—the C Device's performance has been greatly enhanced!]

“However.” Lightmoss glanced at the paradoxical species around her.

The paradox here is still missing many elements, such as iron thorns, iron bundles, and iron tracks. But these are all understandable.

The Iron Thorn exists 10 billion years in the future, which is far removed from other paradoxes. The Iron Bundle is a creation of an ancient civilization, and theoretically, it is actually an ancient species.

Iron tracks are weapons from an alien civilization, perhaps from the Iron Poison Moth, and haven't been sent here yet.

So, only one more is needed.
"I haven't seen Millardon."
