Cyber Heroes

Novi Khan was awakened by a commotion.

For fifty years, he has been standing in front of the ninth Martial God, thinking that he is a dead man. After the failure of the Tenth Martial God, the more than one hundred year old knight felt that he was really tired. He came to this city and stood here.

Perhaps one day, when he no longer wants to stand, he will go up and have a final few words with his former spiritual leader.

As a result, this stop lasted for decades.

In the past ten or twenty years, he has not even moved much, and his brain activity has become increasingly silent.

However, the instinct he developed as a knight made him particularly sensitive to troop movements.

The prosthetic body felt the movement of troops, and his brain was activated by instinctive reactions. Novi Khan just watched the soldiers mobilizing around him, and watched the senior military attachés from the sky one after another fall from the top of the tower. Join the troops on the ground. Several military attachés quickly moved away, seemingly preparing to do something.

Novi Khan had guessed the reason. He wanted to move. But the prosthetic body made a discordant sound.

It had been so long that even the alloy body couldn't bear it.

It took him a long time to turn around.

Novi Khan looked around slowly and found at least five military attachés scattered around, fully armed.

——Another great knight is about to die...

Novi Khan knew. For ordinary knights, only one or two high-ranking military attachés would come forward to deal with them. Now, five senior military attachés are deployed for close combat alone.

This is a famous knight.

——They are all famous heroes...why come here to die...

Novi Khan turned around slowly.

He looked past the large group of kneeling people behind him and saw the guy walking slowly.

With a height of three meters, he stood out from the crowd in this era. This guy was covered in heavy plate armor, and the forearms of his hands were connected to huge plate-like objects, making it difficult to see clearly. He was also wrapped in black camouflage, and something like a chain was dragging from the ground, making a rattling sound.

The civilians kneeling on the ground maintained their kneeling posture and walked on the ground with their knees - the physical quality of the prosthetics ensured that this behavior would not cause them much pain. They carefully stretched out their hands, devoutly touching the saint who was about to sacrifice his life in front of God, and share his glory.

They don't even dare to touch it for a long time, they just leave as soon as they touch it.

The knight was like a boat breaking the waves, causing a wave of commotion in the crowd.

People were in awe.

However, Novi Khan, who had some internal skills, could see that the knight was getting more and more irritable.

The knight just walked over silently.

Suddenly, he waved his hand and pushed away those people around him.

Those who flew out rolled on the ground, but just looked at the knight.

The knight said: "Don't kneel down, hurry up and get out. If you still want to live, don't kneel down. Get out, get out as far away as possible!"

With that said, he continued to walk forward.

He quickly walked past Novi Khan.

The knight turned around again and said to those people: "Go away! No kneeling. Listen, no one in the world should ask anyone to kneel. Not Xiangshan, not Yawgmoth. Not anyone."

He exuded a terrifying aura. Novi Khan was even intimidated by him. The brain that had just resumed functioning was temporarily interrupted.

Novi Khan usually stands in the front row. Those who believe in him generally regard knights like him as saints. When they usually visit, they will draw an invisible line using the place where these knights stand as the boundary.

Xiangshan walked up the steps of the huge pyramid.

The knight behind him had lost his chance to persuade.

"I really..." Xiaoba sighed: "This kind of thing...I totally..."

Yuan Yuan said: "If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. Human beings do have the psychological need to build religion."

It is said that humans give "meaning" to things. The neurons responsible for this part can quickly capture the intentions of others. This is also the basis for learning and imitation.

However, this mechanism is not so precise, and its function occasionally acts on things other than "the same kind", even including abstract and holistic concepts such as "nature" and "the world".

People will cry because of certain things, and the sky will rain because of certain things - just like the universe will change because of certain things.

"The existence of the universe has meaning" is the most basic and largest common illusion of mankind.

But this is simply because some neurons that are not set so accurately are trying to capture the "intention" of "heaven" and "nature".

Human beings will also conceive of specific common imaginations to fill this "vacancy" that "I think there should be" for themselves.

This is human nature.

The Ninth God of War is the answer that the civilians of Paradox City found for themselves, and it is an answer to their depressed lives.

They have never seen anything meaningful, and the government refuses to give them "meaning." And the battle in which the knight risked his life was the most meaningful thing they had ever seen.

"Ah, what is the man above thinking?"

The two looked upward.

Above this alloy Mayan pyramid building are four huge pillars. These four huge pillars support a huge building similar to the Eiffel Tower but 400 meters high.

On the four legs of the iron tower made of pure metal, countless wrist-thick cables extend out from all directions, fixing the ninth Martial God and his machines in mid-air. The ninth god of war is at the lowest position, only slightly higher than the ground at the "top of the pyramid".

Perhaps because this prosthetic body is mainly used in space, its aerodynamic shape is not that good. A pair of wing-like devices extend from its shoulders. That is a set of vector jets, made like this after taking into account the visual effects. His prosthetic eye is not an independent eyeball. Under the flat eyecup that takes up one-third of the face, there should be optical equipment with a non-traditional eyeball structure.

The sharp face was fixed and looked downward, towards the bottom of the pyramid.

Xiangshan didn't know if the Ninth Martial God was looking at him.

The other party didn't react at all, as if he was dead.

Xiangshan walked to the side of the Ninth Martial God and found an exposed data interface on his wrist. This was supposed to be connected to external weapons - just like those of Amilcarre. This interface is very close to the ground. You can reach the mountain and touch it.

"Oh, it seems that this is for everyone to communicate." Xiangshan looked at the Ninth Martial God: "In order to prevent you from dying, I didn't say anything, so the government also left this thing so that the knights can directly connect to Yeah. Can I see anything after I get in? Huh?"

Xiang Shan reached out and patted the ninth Martial God: "Do you have anything to say to me, Martial God?"
