Chapter 98: Want to Try My Breeding Module? (4.7k)
While watching Mechanical God Aphrodite, or rather the Bronze Clan's final Fake God Venus, stand on the edge of the cliff and solemnly commemorate, Luo En's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
"You, do you feel sad for them?"
"What do you think we are?"
Mechanical God Venus paused with her hand, turned around to face Luo En who was behind her, and retorted with a cold snort,
"A tool to purify the earth? Or simply a weapon to slaughter?"
Luo En was startled by these words, and suddenly remembered the original purpose for which the Bronze Clan had been created, which was to replace the human beings of gold and silver destroyed and become a link in the ecological chain of the God Era World, reforming new species on the surface that would worship the gods.
Thus, the twelve Mechanical Gods born from the Bronze Clan originally had the main purpose not to fight, but to improve the environmental ecosystem efficiently gathering and utilizing the resources of the God Era, and they were set up as a distributed data terminal.
For example, the original name of Mechanical God Venus (Aphrodite) was "Intelligent Life Teaching Large Terminal," Mechanical God Neptune (Poseidon) was originally named "Marine Environment Alteration Device Terminal," Mechanical God Ceres (Demeter) was originally named "Ecological Material Production Terminal," Mechanical God Vulcan (Hephaestus) was originally named "Material Molding and Processing Terminal"...
But later, as the influx of information and self-perfection occurred, they gradually acquired divinity, condensed their divine nature, and fostered a new civilization that far exceeded Zeus's expectations.
As for the ultimate result, naturally it attracted the fear of His Majesty the King of Gods, leading to the disaster of eradication.
Watching Luo En, who had not responded for a long time in front of her, the red-haired Mechanical God clenched the bronze flowers in her hand into metallic scraps and bitterly accused.
"Why should life exist only in the form of flesh and blood? Why is what you define as civilization called civilization? We too have hearts!"
Hearing the anger mixed in her words, Luo En suddenly remembered Talos, the Bronze Giant who fought for the Minosians on Crete Island till the last moment, and couldn't help but tap his head that had been limited by old thinking.
This is the God Era, life forms are not just one kind.
The gods are the incarnations of rules, the condensation of will; Nymphs can be born from plants and trees, Deities can also be born from mountains and rivers;
From the ashes of the Titans sprang the glory of present-day humanity, why couldn't the essence of metals create the civilization of the Bronze Clan?
Therefore, it is narrow-minded to differentiate high and low, to distinguish between sentient and unsentient based on race and class.
Regardless of the past, now they are allies standing with humans and new gods, fighting until the last moment for the survival of civilization and deservedly receiving due respect.
As his thoughts cleared, Luo En's face showed a hint of apology.
"Sorry, it was my fault to say..."
Saying that, he intended to make amends for his abruptness, reached into the basket Mechanical God Venus was carrying, and pulled out a few bronze metal flowers, throwing them into the rolling waves below the cliff, together paying tribute to the fallen allies of the previous battle.
Mechanical God Venus, seeing this, was slightly stunned and looked at Luo En with immense surprise.
"Your gods actually lower their heads?"
"Before becoming a god, I was much like you, just a human struggling for survival, and moreover, I had met a Bronze Giant who left a deep impression on me; he fought side by side with me to the last moment of his life..."
Luo En explained solemnly, his face showing a faint remembrance.
Then, he turned his head toward Mechanical God Venus beside him, and sincerely spoke.
"So, I truly hope you survive this war and continue the lineage of the Bronze Clan."
Mechanical God Venus tilted her head and looked at her startlingly frank boss, seriously assessing, "You don't seem quite like the others..."
Then, she pressed her hand against her chest where her engine was running a bit too fast, watched her boss's golden eyes flickering,
"I think I'm a bit moved."
"Cough cough~~"
Standing on the cliff and maintaining a deep demeanor, Luo En couldn't help but cough violently, hurriedly waving his hand and saying sternly.
"Let's just maintain a purely comradely relationship."
"I'm not beautiful?" Mechanical God Venus looked puzzled.
"It's not that," Luo En shook his head helplessly, reluctantly pulling Tethys as a shield, "I'm a married man."
Mechanical God Venus paused for a moment, then looked disdainfully at her boss.
"I could smell the female pheromones on you from hundreds of miles away, and it seems there's more than one object."
Caught red-handed, Luo En couldn't help but blush.
Watching her boss, who normally had everything under control, look embarrassed because of a few words, Mechanical God Venus suddenly found it amusing. Her bright nostrils twitched slightly as they gathered various interesting pieces of information from in front of her usual culprit.
"Hmm, from the residual pheromones extracted, you've apparently mated with two goddesses in the last forty-eight hours, and according to the data match, one of them is the Goddess of the Hearth, Hestia, and the other doesn't seem to be in my database backup..."
Listening to this, Luo En instantly broke out in a sweat.
What kind of Sherlock Holmes hound is this? With just the smell, she could reconstruct his sneaky activities in the past two days, simply outrageous!
Seeing her boss sweating profusely, Mechanical God Venus, who was usually treated like a beast of burden, was as if she had discovered a new continent.
She pulled up the high-frequency vocabulary often used by her boss in such scenes, smilingly approached him, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.
"God of Wine dear, you wouldn't want your wife to find out about your cheating outside, would you?"
