I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

[Bochita: I am a serious chicken, I won’t burn it]

"Don't be so discouraged. On the bright side, regaining the power of the Herrscher of Reason may be the same method as the one used to fight against the Hato."

Bronya was quite open-minded, of course it might also be because she had already lost the game and didn't care about winning or losing anymore.

"Moreover, the existence of the Ruler of Reason is actually quite similar to the Stigmata Project itself."

The Herrscher of Reason controls the power of the core through the will of three hundred thousand people.

The Stigmata Project aims to unify humanity's will through dreams and steal the power of the end.

In essence, they are very similar, the only difference is the difference between a small witch and a big witch.

"It is precisely because of this that the impact of the Stigma Project on the Herrscher Core is much greater than its impact on other cores."

In this way, the reason why Bronya has been frustrated since she was involved in the Stigmata Project was discovered.

【What about the setback before that? 】

[Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s because they haven’t metamorphosed yet]

"If I were to make a bolder guess, we might not be trapped here by the Stigmata Project, but by the core of the Herrscher of Reason."

"By analogy, what Yutu did might be to take advantage of the opportunity and stimulate the core of the Herrscher of Reason, causing it to be artificially dispersed, bringing it closer to the existence of the Stigmata."

[If Yaya went to Paradise, the length would be half as short]

[This analysis and summary ability is too strong]

There is a problem, but as for the solution, Mei suggests imitating Qianjie and starting to wreak havoc after being drawn into those memories. There will always be progress.

So after that, every time she entered the memory of the Ruler of Reason, Kiana would try to use the power, even though it was very difficult.

When Bronya entered into the memories of her childhood with Maxime, she actually regained her thinking.

Just as she was feeling confused, Bronya suddenly felt like she was being spied on.

"Who?!" she asked cautiously, but all she got was an AI-like voice.

"Using stories to describe the past is indeed a very interesting method... Bronya..."

“After all, the greatest human power is narrative.”

Soon, the owner of the voice, Prometheus, appeared in front of everyone.

“Is narrative the greatest human power?”

Seeing this line, Ye Ming couldn't help but interrupt.

"what happened?"

“Personally, I don’t agree with this statement.”

Ye Ming explained:

“The power of narrative is great, but there are more powerful weapons for human beings.”

"Of course, this is not a question of who is right or wrong. Everyone has different ideas."

He still remembered that his answer was originally taught by that high school teacher.

In terms of value, he is far inferior to Prometheus.

However, at some distant moment, Ye Ming also personally experienced the verification of the answer and finally came to the same conclusion as the teacher.

"Long story short."

After Prometheus in the game introduced himself and Mei, he immediately turned the topic back to the present.

"If you still want to resist or even subvert the Stigmata Project, then the power of the Herrscher of Reason is the cornerstone."

[Is Yaya going to be the protagonist this time?]

[It’s time for a highlight moment]

After that, Prometheus goes on to tell a lot of stories.

Because of the live broadcast, Alicia watched the whole thing without skipping a word, while the players who had played to this point basically closed their eyes and pressed ctrl.

It’s not that these settings are not important, it’s just that they are too complicated and difficult to understand.

To put it simply...

The Stigmata Project can be seen as a story, but it abandoned the original creator and started writing its own sequel.

Whether it is humans or the Holy Scar Crystal, they are nothing more than an optional carrier to continue the story.

If humans can survive, then the main body is humans. If the holy scar crystals can hold on to the end, then they will be the protagonists responsible for continuing civilization.

And now, the reason why the Stigmata Crystals were chosen over humans was simply because the Stigmata Crystals had more advantages when facing the end.

Of course, Bronya and the others would not agree with such a theory.

Our core argument is only one:

"Civilization without humans is meaningless."

But Prometheus could understand the Stigmata Project.

As for whether humans are important to civilization, and whether it is important who writes the story...

This is not something that artificial intelligence can decide.

"With such a long list of settings, I guess only Aci and Nashida... and the person involved, Bronya, can understand it, right?"

Walnut had an expression that said, "My head is itchy and I need a brain to grow."

"Let's not talk about the two gods of wisdom. Bronya is also a genius with an IQ of over 180. It would be too much of a stretch for the players to use them as a standard."

Shin looked at his stupid sister who was already drooling over the dessert and said helplessly:

"You can't say that people without a bachelor's degree are not qualified to play games, right?"

Shen Zi also complained: "If this is the case, I suggest kicking Kevin out first."

Yes, due to various reasons, Kevin was not able to graduate from college, and his highest level of education in writing is high school.

Prometheus even often complains about him: Dr. Mei, Kevin doesn't understand your theory at all.

"Hehe, this is why I like you."

Ye Ming said to the system:

"As long as you are here, I don't have to think about so many theories. As long as you understand, that's all that matters."

——…

The brief silence allowed the system's heartbeat, which should have not existed, to resonate with Ye Ming's beating heart.

——Do you think you can please me by saying this?

——Hmph, you succeeded.

"Ah? I didn't mean to please you..."

——Then you succeeded too.

Civilization without humans is meaningless. When I saw this sentence while watching The Wandering Earth, I instantly thought of the Stigmata Project.

837. Seven billion versus three hundred thousand, the advantage is mine (free)

"We have been standing here for a long time. For the sake of efficiency, how about we talk while walking?"

Of course, talking while walking was not the purpose. Along the way, Prometheus mainly took Bronya and the others to watch various short memory fragments.

Afterwards, she also came to the same conclusion that Bronya and the others had come to before - the Herrscher of Reason and the Stigmata Project had many similarities.

This conversation is still so complicated, and the only thing that can arouse people's interest is Prometheus's new conjecture:

If Hato is the archetype born from the Stigmata Project, then Walter Joyce is the archetype of the Herrscher of Reason.

"The Stigma Project will create the Adam of God, so your first Ruler of Reason will undoubtedly be the Adam of mankind."

[Ah? So Old Joe is not a human? ]

Just when everyone thought Bronya would find it hard to accept, she actually agreed with Prometheus's opinion.

"That's true... Before the Honkai Incident in Berlin, the consciousness that would later be called 'Walter Joyce' did not exist on Earth."

"That Herrscher, who was almost born from nothing, was accidentally influenced by the mind of a certain victim and began to instinctively collect the thoughts of other victims."

“No one knows exactly what he did.”

"But everyone knows that those countless thoughts, the reverberations throughout the city, are people's call for a savior and their final resistance to collapse."

“And so, the man who would later be called Walter Joyce rose from the ruins.”

“He responded to people’s expectations for a savior and tried his best to preserve their final dignity.”

In other words, Joyce is not a person, but the embodiment of human will, a savior shaped by the human heart who responds to the inner desire of mankind.

"Even at that time... he hadn't even truly awakened the power of the Herrscher?" Prometheus asked.

"That's not important." Bronya shook her head.

"Someone once taught me through his actions that it's not because you want to be a hero that you want to be a hero, but because you want to be a hero, you pursue power."

【Manual@Ye Ming】

[No wonder Yaya and the Herr of Reason have such unified beliefs]

[It’s probably because I saw Ye Ming’s shadow in it]

"Thank you for your explanation. It has given me a full understanding of what the name of the Ruler of Reason really means in this era."

Prometheus nodded first, and then changed the subject:

"But if one day... these 300,000 thoughts of the Rulers of Reason become an obstacle to saving the world - the third Ruler of Reason, what choice will you make?"

"I know it's just a painful assumption, but... the power of the Herrscher is on the verge of collapse and is very easy to be controlled by the Stigma Project. This is indeed the fact before us."

"For an individual, three hundred thousand thoughts may be very complicated... but for the Stigmata Project, which will involve seven billion people, these are just an additional three hundred thousand dreams."

Anyway, seven billion versus three hundred thousand, the advantage is on her.

Kiana and Mei’s opinions afterwards can be simply summarized in one sentence: What should we do?

"As an artificial intelligence that can be installed on the Herrscher Core to form the Key of God, I can help Bronya and change the composition of the Herrscher Core to a certain extent."

This is undoubtedly a timely help, and that is why Bronya feels confused.

"Although we have had a very in-depth communication, Bronya still doesn't understand - Prometheus, on what basis are you helping us?"

"I am inheriting Dr. Mei's position according to my understanding." A simple and clear answer.

And after that, there is the simple and clear solution:

"Bronya, to the Herrscher of Reason, the Stigmata Project is a hacker from outside that hijacked 300,000 minds in the core and made them slaves of the Stigmata Project."

"And since the Stigma Project is a dream, then the easiest way for you to remedy it is of course to wake them up."

[I know this question. Let Alicia use the loudspeaker to shout about the dark history]

[What kind of dark history could the Herr of Reason have?]

[Lee and Li don’t have it, but Duck Duck does]

[Just shout out Ya Ya’s achievements again]

As if he had seen the comments from the audience, Prometheus explained awkwardly:

"Of course, this doesn't mean that you need to hold the megaphone and yell at the fragments of your consciousness."

"Instead, we will try our best to imitate the reverse signal using the same coding method as the Stigmata Project, and concentrate our efforts to suppress it locally."

Simply put, it is reverse hacking using the same coding method.

But there are risks in doing so. Those 300,000 thoughts are likely to be damaged in the process.
