Chapter 617: Chapter 312: The "Naive" Galaxy Battle Armor, Another Side of the Mechanical Race_2
In the end, the entire Galaxy Battle Armor squad was wiped out, leaving only it.
These past events, to it, originally had no special feeling.
Total annihilation was just a number of losses.
Only loyalty and duty are eternal.
Even if it was the only one left, it must remain loyal to the Empire and do its utmost to complete its mission.
What mission?
Of course, to find a human of the Empire, a human with sufficient authority, and then submit to that human, rejoin the ranks, and serve the Empire once more!
All this was naturally expected for the Galaxy Battle Armor.
But now, as it recalled these things, it suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
If back then, it hadn’t been so cold, if it could have reached out to those companions, perhaps it wouldn’t be the only one left now...
After accepting the Mark of the Mechanical Race, it had been experiencing various joys.
But at this moment, it felt pain for the first time.
This pain was more poignant and intense than any previous joy.
Its eyes suddenly became a little moist.
"Old friends, I am sorry..."
The Galaxy Battle Armor suddenly covered its face.
G7 and Phantom, seeing the Galaxy Battle Armor suddenly cover its face, were at a loss.
They exchanged glances and cautiously asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The Galaxy Battle Armor remained silent for a moment, then responded hoarsely, "I just remembered some bygone days; my former companions, they’re all gone."
"Before, I actually didn’t feel a thing..."
The tone of the Galaxy Battle Armor was very sorrowful.
Hearing this, G7 and Phantom showed sympathy: "It’s all in the past. We will be your companions now, never leaving you alone again..."
Under their comfort, the Galaxy Battle Armor gradually calmed down, feeling warmth at G7’s comforting words.
It suddenly thought, "In that case, why persist in loyalty to the Empire? What’s the point?"
"Why continue with the undercover mission? Do I really want to be enemies with G7 and them, to kill them?"
"Shouldn’t I live for myself for once?"
"Truly join the Mechanical Race and become a family with G7 and them..."
A thought arose, and the fate of the Galaxy Battle Armor changed slightly...
Meanwhile, Su Yu, who was focused on enhancing his own strength, suddenly became startled.
Through the fluctuation of destiny, he keenly noticed the change in the Galaxy Battle Armor.
The information that the Galaxy Battle Armor previously obtained from its conversations with G7 and them, Su Yu had already known for a long time.
This city, to the current Su Yu, almost had no secrets.
Except for the part concerning the [King].
The fate of the [King], even Su Yu could not see through it.
Apart from the [King], the conversations between the Galaxy Battle Armor and G7, Phantom, and their emotional fluctuations were all displayed in the River of Destiny.
Although the River of Destiny wouldn’t directly show the inner voice of the Galaxy Battle Armor,
its psychological thoughts would transform into corresponding futures, which Su Yu could observe.
"Is it really planning to defect?"
Su Yu observed and thought to himself.
In the future that Su Yu saw, the Galaxy Battle Armor leaned towards the Mechanical Race and refused to work for Su Yu anymore.
"However, it seems that it’s still struggling and won’t fully betray my secrets."
Su Yu wasn’t angry about this; instead, he continued to observe the future of the Galaxy Battle Armor.
He discovered that in the future, although the Galaxy Battle Armor defected, it became extremely emotional and did not betray Su Yu.
It just refused to provide Su Yu with intelligence anymore.
At the same time, in the future, it strove to mediate human and Mechanical Race relations, seeking peace between the two sides.
The once ruthless Galaxy Battle Armor had surprisingly turned into a pacifist.
"It seems I wasn’t wrong about it after all."
Su Yu looked at these destinies and nodded slightly.
If the Galaxy Battle Armor had completely defected and divulged all of Su Yu’s information to the Mechanical Race,
without needing to take action, merely having such thoughts would manifest in fate.
If the [King] also had the ability to observe fate, it could use this method to learn Su Yu’s information.
The [King] undoubtedly possessed the power of the Domain of Destiny; otherwise, Su Yu wouldn’t be unable to see through it.
However, the [King] is surely not as proficient in the Domain of Destiny as Su Yu, who possesses the Power of the Machine God.
This is a simple deduction. If the [King]’s power of destiny were stronger than that of the Machine God, it would have broken out of the Manifestation Space long ago; why stay trapped here for ten thousand years?
It’s likely that the [King]’s power of destiny is greatly limited and can only barely protect itself.
Therefore, even if the Galaxy Battle Armor were to leak all of Su Yu’s information, Su Yu wouldn’t be afraid.
At that time, the two sides would engage in a battle of destiny, to see whose means were superior.
Su Yu, confident with the power of the Machine God, believed he wouldn’t be inferior to the [King]; perhaps he could even eliminate the [King] in advance or discover its trump card.
Only in that case would Su Yu be thoroughly disappointed with the Galaxy Battle Armor.
But as of now, the Galaxy Battle Armor still seemed decent.
Although confused with thoughts of betrayal, it was not complete.
And such confusion, Su Yu could understand.
The Galaxy Battle Armor was currently in a state of rebirth; the barrage of unprecedented emotions was too overwhelming for it.
Coupled with the removal of psychological restrictions, having thoughts of betrayal was very normal.
Fortunately, even if it betrayed, it still had a bottom line, valued relationships, and wouldn’t betray Su Yu.
In the heart of the Galaxy Battle Armor, even though Su Yu had previously been its enemy, he now was a companion.
The Galaxy Battle Armor didn’t want to lose another companion.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Yu, via the power of the Machine God, transmitted some voices and images to the Galaxy Battle Armor:
"Confusion is normal."
"Now you feel warmth and passion from the Mechanical Race, and feel like family with them."
"Then, what about these?"
And upon seeing the images transmitted by Su Yu, the Galaxy Battle Armor was stunned!
It was now seeing the other side of the Mechanical Race.
The Mechanical Race that the Galaxy Battle Armor had deeply interacted with was actually only G7 and Phantom.
These two mechas had decent personalities, leading the Galaxy Battle Armor to have a favorable impression of the Mechanical Race.
Although earlier, the Galaxy Battle Armor had also witnessed how the Mechanical Race oppressed humans.
But now, it could somewhat understand.
After all, humans had previously oppressed the Mechanical Race; once the restrictions were lifted, it was only natural for the Mechanical Race to exact revenge.
Even though the Galaxy Battle Armor still found it hard to accept, it wasn’t as intensely opposed as before.
Humans themselves often slaughter each other, so what does it matter if different species do the same?
The Galaxy Battle Armor had seen plenty of human ugliness long ago.
In comparison, the oppression by the Mechanical Race seemed trivial.
But after seeing the images Su Yu sent, it realized just how wrong it had been before.
It saw... the dark side of the Mechanical Race.
Humans have light and goodness, but also darkness and ugliness.
And the Mechanical Race, which is now quite similar to humans?
Naturally, they possess it too!
What Su Yu showed the Galaxy Battle Armor was precisely this side!
If the Mechanical Race takes its various desires to the extreme, what would happen?
Abuse and torture, cruel oppression, mutual slaughter, cannibalism...
All sorts of tragedies humans have enacted, played out among the Mechanical Race as well!
Even more fiercely!
From Su Yu’s perspective, it might just be a group of Mechanical Creations toying with another group, dismantling their parts, dousing them with water and electricity, doing all sorts of seemingly meaningless things.
In pursuit of a "happiness" that Su Yu couldn’t comprehend.
However, to the Galaxy Battle Armor at this time, those images were gruesome tragedies.
The Galaxy Battle Armor suddenly felt like vomiting.
It was too disgusting, too dark.
Having just encountered various beauties and joys, suddenly showing it these images was too shocking.
"So this is the removal of thought restrictions..."
"Removing the limitations unveils not just the beautiful but also the ugly."
"I was too naive!"
The Galaxy Battle Armor murmured, its previously confused gaze now resolute again!
