#509 - But I refuse

Under Yang Le's manipulation, Robert's consciousness was gradually being perfected. However, this Robert was no longer the original Robert, but more like a combination of the Sentry from the main universe and this universe's Robert.

Within Zs'kayr, only the Robert with negative emotions like cowardice and various cruel memories remained. Yang Le also learned that Robert was actually with the group of black people killed by Magik.

One can only sigh that New York is too small, or that people like them will experience some turbulence no matter which universe they are in.

Seeing this, Yang Le could only piece together the positive side of the Sentry from the main universe that he had seen in the comics with this universe's Robert. Everyone has two sides, and the Sentry is also a parallel universe version of Robert. Although Yang Le tampered with some of Robert's consciousness, it wasn't an abuse of his abilities.

It's just that this process is much slower than Professor X's. After all, Professor X directly uploads the stored data, while Yang Le has to write code, which is naturally much slower.

To avoid any accidents, Yang Le decided to operate on two fronts simultaneously. One clone stayed to continue constructing Robert's consciousness, while the other clone took Zs'kayr out to let the old geezer, who knows how old, bask in the sun.

Perhaps it was because Robert's consciousness was gradually forming, or perhaps it was because Zs'kayr had fainted, but Zs'kayr's control over the Sentry's power seemed to weaken, causing his originally gigantic body to shrink to a normal size, saving Yang Le a lot of trouble.

Seeing that this matter was finally about to be resolved, Yang Le began to research his next opponent, OBA. However, Zs'kayr suddenly woke up.

His purple single eye suddenly opened, and just by looking at the situation in front of him, Zs'kayr understood everything. Obviously, he had failed because of his arrogance and was now a prisoner.

"Attacking from behind? How very Ixtali," Zs'kayr commented. "It seems I have to retract my evaluation of you. You have grasped my essence."

Looking at Zs'kayr being held in his hand, Yang Le was speechless. You've already lost, so what are you pretending for?

"You don't think I've lost just like that, do you?" Zs'kayr smiled sinisterly.

Yang Le frowned. When he searched Zs'kayr's consciousness, he didn't find any backup plans or anything like that, but seeing his confident look, he was really a little unsure.

"I thought you would eat me directly. It seems you're not ruthless enough," Zs'kayr's laughter grew louder, gradually becoming rampant.

Yang Le was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ghostfreak. He used his telepathic ability again to rudely check Ghostfreak's thoughts and discovered a memory he hadn't seen before.

If I am defeated, then the body I am currently controlling will turn into a gamma bomb. It will convert all the energy stored in its body into gamma radiation energy and then release it. The explosion cannot be stopped or reversed.

"Cough cough!" Ghostfreak coughed a few times. It seemed that the rough treatment of telepathy still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you feeling very confused? Why couldn't you find this thought of mine?"

"Think about what you humans have discovered, psychological suggestion. In your human hands, this technology can only slightly influence the thoughts of intelligent beings, but in front of powerful telekinetics and telepaths, this technology is not just a suggestion."

Note that telepathy and telekinesis are similar but not the same thing, but both can have an effect on the mind. Zs'kayr is a telekinetic. Although he cannot influence other people's consciousness out of thin air, he can still play a lot of tricks with his own consciousness.

"OBA gave me this order. Obviously, he is not very confident in me, and even thought from the beginning that I would fail," a trace of humiliation flashed in Zs'kayr's eyes.

"Although I don't want to admit it, He is indeed right. Of course, it is also possible that He originally wanted to use me as a pawn. I never thought I would have such a day."

Zs'kayr pointed to his head and continued, "He ordered me to issue this order after taking over this body. This order will become an instinct engraved in my bones, and then He made me forget the relevant memories. It's just that I secretly added another one, that when I fail, I will automatically remember the relevant memories."

"I won't sacrifice myself for others!"

"Alright, human kid, now you know about this, let's run away," Zs'kayr stretched out his right hand to Yang Le, who was constructing consciousness.

"You should be very clear that once this level of power explodes, not only this universe, but other parallel universes may also be affected. It is not impossible to blow a big hole in space-time. We have no choice but to escape."

"And now I have told you about this, which is my pledge of allegiance. Now it's still not too late to take me and your little girlfriend away."

Zs'kayr tempted Yang Le with his ethereal voice. Seeing Yang Le's silence, he was actually a little anxious because time waits for no one. Once this body converts all its energy into gamma energy, it will explode. No matter what happens to Yang Le, he will definitely die as the center of the explosion.

But the more this is the case, the more Zs'kayr knows that he can't be anxious. He decided to add fuel to the fire and continue to tempt him: "Do you want to use the Celestial's ability? Don't be silly, Yang Le. You know that even if you become a Celestial, you won't be harmed, but what about your little girlfriend?"

"You should know that you have already used the opportunity to use an ability unconditionally. By the time you finish communicating with those two consciousnesses, the bomb will have already exploded."

"Do you want her to die painfully once and then be resurrected? Or turn her into a radiation monster and then restore her? Believe me, even then the pain will not disappear, unless you want to change her memory in exchange for false happiness."

Zs'kayr is indeed a devil who is good at attacking the heart. He knows how to attack other people's weaknesses, just like Yang Le. The person he cares about most in this universe is Gwen. He can't watch Gwen suffer.

"You're right…" Yang Le said weakly, as if he was very unwilling.

'Hehe!' Zs'kayr showed a smug smile. "Yes, that's right, think about the person you love, don't let her bear the pain caused by your wrong decision."

Looking at Yang Le, who was panting heavily, as if he had made some kind of decision, Zs'kayr's skull began to rotate rapidly due to excitement. (Zs'kayr: A very good picture is my skull rotating.)

"But I refuse!" Yang Le said resolutely, and Zs'kayr's neck made a cracking sound, almost flying off.

"I like to say 'no' to these self-righteous people the most."

Yang Le said to the incredulous Zs'kayr while mobilizing his telepathy.

"Watch Zs'kayr, this is the difference between you and me. Even if the Omnitrix is in your hands, it won't be able to exert its original power. A hero will not run away."
