Chapter 3475 - Untitled
"What?"
Even though Gus had been prepared for all the shocks that the devil gave him, the 'truth' that 'Punching God is a machine' was still beyond his tolerance and understanding.
He felt that he had been hit by an invisible hammer. He was seeing stars, his ears were ringing, and his soul was surging.
"This—this is impossible!"
The young man shouted subconsciously, wondering whether or not it was a lie.
But on second thought, he realized that he had fallen into the devil's control. Whatever the true face of the Fist God was, he had embarked on the path of fighting against the Fist God.
There was really no need for the devil to tell such absurd lies to strengthen his courage.
"Is it very strange?"
Lu Qingchen shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "The dominators who hate machines are machines in the first place; the God of Light who berates the darkness is the Child of Darkness in the first place; the seemingly kind-looking leader of our side is in fact the biggest schemer behind the scenes. Such plays are already commonplace. At the very least, they happen every few days in the Pangu Universe. You must get used to it.
"All in all, the Fist King is a robot. Of course, he is the strongest robot in the history of the Pangu Universe. His body includes an entire fleet.
"How can I explain it to you? Let's put it this way. Do you see the fleet around us? Enlarge the fleet billions of times larger than you can imagine and fill every starship with complicated machinery. By driving the gears, bearings, and joysticks with steam, the different angles of rotation of every gear represent a unique signal. The collision of countless signals is the will of the boxing champion. Do you understand it?"
"Don't look at me with such a dumbfounded look. It doesn't matter whether or not you can understand me. It doesn't matter if you insist on treating the boxing champion as a 'god' and me as a 'devil'.
"All in all, when I merged with the lightning creature on the dying planet and was reborn, I calculated my doom in several seconds and the only way to escape in several seconds. Then, I sent a signal to space.
"I hid the information that I had been reborn in the signal on purpose and told the Fist King, who was monitoring every movement on the planet of lightning.
"I knew that the boxing champion had a deep prejudice against me. Once he knew that I was still alive, he would certainly mobilize all his armed forces and computational ability to eliminate me.
"As I expected, not long after my signal was sent out, the Fist King controlled his body, or rather, led the super fleet of the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance, and marched toward the planet of lightning.
"If he wants to play, I will play with him slowly. Manipulating billions of lightning bolts in the orbit of the planet, I condensed an indomitable and intimidating image and fought three hundred rounds against the Fist King's fleet, pretending that I had been defeated and killed by him again.
"In fact, hehe, I was looking for the loopholes of the Fist King's fleet patiently through the earthshaking 'war between gods and devils'.
"Hard work pays off. I did find a tiny loophole. In the end, when the Fist King annihilated most of the lightning creatures, I hacked into the network of the Fist King's fleet in the form of a feeble electric current with the core information of the lightning creatures and crawled into his body!
"Well…"
Lu Qingchen spoke casually, but Gus was greatly confused.
The young man found it hard to understand what it meant when a devil crawled into the body of the God of Creation.
"Strictly speaking, it is not a 'body'. After all, as a robot, the boxing champion does not have a fixed body concept. With the contraction of his computational ability, he can use any complicated machine with a super crystal processor as his body.
Lu Qingchen smiled and said, "Therefore, let's put it this way—I've crawled into the mind of the Fist King. In his mind, if you don't object to a robot having a soul, you can even say that I've crawled into the Fist King's soul."
Gus thought hard, but he could not keep up with Lu Qingchen at all. He did not even understand Lu Qingchen's smile.
"Of course, the Fist King is a robot after all. His thinking center is much more rigid and orderly than that of an ordinary human being. His defense system is much tighter, too. If an alien such as myself invades it, I will be detected and killed at any moment. It must be noted that, in order to escape from the dying planet, I abandoned 99% of the super lightning life-force and kept only 1% of the core information. In such a weak state, I will certainly die if I fight the Fist King in his home field.
Lu Qingchen opened his hands and said, "Therefore, I could only run as fast as I could. Before the Fist King sensed my existence and carried out the highest-level investigation, I fled to the depths of his thinking circuit. In the end, ha. There is always a way out. I found this place!"
"This is our world?"
Looking at the starless sky, Gus mumbled, "What is our world exactly?"
"It's not a place. Your world is one of the boxing champion's brain cells, isn't it?
Lu Qingchen said, "Oh, I almost forgot again. The boxing champion does not have braincells. Then, this is probably an idea, a thought, and an absurd and insignificant dream of the boxing champion. That's all."
The young man gazed at the devil.
The devil looked at the young man quietly, too.
"A… dream?"
The young man mumbled, "Our world and this place are just a dream of the Fist God?"
"What else could it be?"
The devil shrugged. "Isn't it perfectly normal? If you can accept the 'god is supreme and omnipotent' setting, then the 'world is just a dream of the god' setting is perfectly fine, isn't it? After all, it is the legendary 'god'!"
Every muscle on the young man's face was shivering.
He did not know what kind of expression he should put on. Should he let the hot tears flow out of his eyes, or should he smile devilishly?
"A dream, an idea, a thought?"
"That's impossible," Gus said in a trembling voice. "If—I mean, if our world is really just an idea of the Fist God, why did you walk into the trap? Were you not at his mercy in the Fist God's thoughts and dreams? Or rather, he could've eliminated the idea with a telepathic thought!
"You are wrong about that, little guy. Very wrong.
Lu Qingchen smiled and said, "You can freely control the birth of an idea, but it is impossible to completely eradicate any idea from your mind. It is even difficult for you to control any change in an idea. Maybe one second, you were thinking of training hard, and your mind was filled with brightness and holiness, and the next second, your thoughts were filled with glamor and turned evil and depraved. Haha. Don't deny it. It is not shameful. Nobody can control their own thoughts, just like nobody can control their dreams.
