The heavy rain gradually subsided, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated. The rare fresh air surged between the world where all the dust was swept away due to the heavy rain. It was dusk, and you could see the dim sunshine hidden at the end of the horizon and the stars faintly emerging in the deep blue sky.

The Siberians hadn't seen such a pure sky for a long time.

On the muddy ground, Joshua grabbed the core puppet that had been cut into a human stick. The huge puppet's hand was slightly relaxed, so as not to accidentally crush this precious material.

A soul puppet with self-awareness, in other words, is a soul puppet that can be called a "wisdom life". After all, the source of the soul core is the soul of ordinary people, and the soul puppet has the potential to become a smart life.

But Joshua didn't expect that there would be one of the hunters' troops. According to his estimate, this kind of existence should be the upper class of the soul puppet, responsible for issuing orders and judging the situation. How could he come to fight in person?

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Joshua. He does not care about the social structure of the soul puppet. He only needs to search for the other party's information. To this point, having a soul is not a bad thing, and it is even better because there is no need to worry about decoding.

The silver light in his hand flashed again. Qiao Xiuya used the power of steel to force the soul of the core puppet, and began to build an information link bridge, preparing to search for information deep in the other party's heart.

At this time, the warrior had a deeper understanding of the power he held. Through the "information link" ability of the Power of Steel, he became more and more proficient in searching the soul and looking up memories. Moreover, because he gradually understood the relationship between the particles of steel and superpowers, Joshua had already roughly understood how the so-called "power" was used by ordinary people.

If the source of the steel particles is the fragments left by the remains of the steel python after the world is broken, then the fragments of these worlds will undoubtedly be attracted by other worlds. The particles and the demon tide swept across countless worlds together, and then are intercepted by the souls of the creatures in it, and then absorbed, making an ordinary person a superpower.

But what if this world is a low-demon world and no one has a soul? In fact, this is not a big problem, because the soul is just the best interceptor, but it is not the only one. In addition to the soul, the ** of intelligent life itself, as a life derived from the power of steel, can naturally absorb the particles of steel, but the probability is relatively low.

However, the result of using ** to absorb the particles of steel will create a Siberian world where the particles of steel are hosted in a certain organ. If these organs are removed, the superpower will naturally disappear. However, due to the existence of particles of steel, superpowers who originally had no soul will quickly give birth to souls and use them to control this power. The particles will slowly transfer to the soul and eventually merge into one.

Once the soul is produced, everything can enter a virtuous cycle. With the birth and death of the soul, the energy concentration of the world will increase rapidly. The increase in the energy concentration can in turn accelerate the birth of the soul. More souls can intercept more particles of steel, allowing the world to absorb other authority to destroy the world more quickly, becoming stronger and stronger.

This is a perfect virtuous cycle. Ordinary people will obtain extraordinary power. In the end, the entire race will naturally hold souls, and the world's authority will increase and the energy concentration will increase... Although everything is based on the destruction of other worlds, it is true. Joshua even speculated that this is the origin of some of the extraordinary powers in the world.

The essence of authority is actually the embodiment of a certain extraordinary ability. Ordinary people without magic and fighting spirit can only use their own vitality and physical strength to activate it. After having a soul, they can use mental power to activate it... As for people who already have extraordinary ability, when they obtain superpowers, they only need to use magic and fighting spirit, because the essence of magic and fighting spirit is actually the aggregation of many authority, but the former is extremely primitive, while the latter has become an order system that can be exercised and continuously advanced.

Joshua's steel power is advanced by condensation of vitality and fighting spirit. His power itself is the greatest superpower and the most powerful condensation of authority in the plural. If the strongest superpower obtained by ordinary people is e to s, then he is at least sss, or even outside.

After the "Information Link Bridge" was established, Joshua ignored the struggle of the core puppet in his hand. He forcibly shattered the other party's mental barrier and entered the depths of its soul.

Soon, he finished browsing the life of this core puppet.

“…It’s not long after it was made?”

The huge puppet buzzed, and Joshua swept through the other party's memory that only lasted thirty-one days, and couldn't help but understand: "No wonder he was similar to an ordinary soul puppet, and it turned out that he had not had time to develop a unique 'personality' and 'self'."

This core puppet was born in a large industrial place in the center of the world. It was created at the same time as other hunter armies, and was born with the mission of dominating the entire army. Its soul core is special manufacturing, with dozens of times the capacity of other soul puppets, so it can be responsible for the command of the entire army. In addition, its mental power is about hundreds of times that of ordinary puppets. Even dozens of superpowers combined, it will be crushed by it in simple mental attacks.

Until now, this puppet is still resisting Joshua's invasion... But how can the mental power of a mere hundred times of ordinary people affect the warriors? This kind of struggle is as powerless as a mosquito ants. Joshua patiently smooths the other party's struggle, and then continues to analyze the soul.

He is looking for the source of the puppet's self-awareness, and his spirit swept through every detail in the other party's information database.

So, not long after, Joshua heard a mechanized voice.

"Load the 'ruler' permission. Load the 'believers' packet."

Accompanied by the noisy metal collision production sound in a large industrial base, a sound of a soul puppet calm and without ups and downs: "Congratulations, number alpha-7739, you will become the core of the Second Hunter Army and gain the authority of the primary manager."

"Praise the Creator, praise the promoter of time, praise our Lord."

The master of memory, the core puppet that had just been created at that time, numbered alpha-7739, also retells the pious prayer in an equally plain but emotional tone.

"Praise the Creator, praise the promoter of time, praise our Lord."

This is the origin of self-awareness.

"……Belief?"

Joshua interrupted the spiritual connection with the core puppet. The puppet's huge head had no expression change, but the black-haired boy walked out of the cockpit of the back of the puppet looked puzzled. The two bodies controlled by Joshua looked at the broken core puppet body, which was no longer resisting, with doubts in his eyes.

"The soul puppet actually still has faith?"

Because of this too unexpected message, Joshua deepened the link with the other party's soul without hesitation. He wanted to see where and what was directly connected to this core puppet!

Distant, center of Siberia's world, labeled 0-003 information processing center.

In the huge trapezoidal steel building, there is no even half a soul puppet walking, because this huge steel creature as high as fifty-five meters is a huge puppet consciousness aggregate formed by more than 7,000 soul cores.

Information Center No. 0-003 is responsible for the puppet dispatch, mobilization, personnel integration and engineering planning of all puppet gardens in the southwest of the world. It is directly under the high center and is the third stage of the entire soul puppet sequence. It has no need to report and directly mobilizes fifteen large industrial bases, more than fifty agricultural and mining gardens, and more than three hundred insect-shaped micro-mechanical machines are responsible for its daily maintenance and dust cleaning.

The information center is almost undestructible. With energy, even without maintenance, with its solid foundation structure, the information center No. 0-003 can operate continuously for more than seven hundred years until the necessary parts are aging and damaged. However, now, a strange low roar suddenly came from the core of the information center, which should have been never faulty, and with this roar, a faint vibration began to vibrate the structure of the entire information center, and then became more and more intense.

Click, click, bang! Inside the center, some precision instruments were damaged due to violent vibrations, and parts exploded. All the micro-mechanicals that were undergoing maintenance work in the interior stopped operating. Their bodies were flashing with blue light, as if the energy system in the body was out of control.

On the outside of the information center, countless busy soul puppets stopped because the fluctuations in the issuance of instructions suddenly disappeared... But in an instant, a crazy alarm sounded in their receivers!

"High-risk information pollution! High-risk soul pollution! There are foreign souls invading the information center! The pollution level is rising rapidly and is about to break through the firewall. It is recommended that the information center number 0-003 perform self-destruction, and it is recommended that the information center number 0-003 perform self-destruction self-destruction countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"

At the moment when the extremely rapid alarm began, the observation devices of all the soul puppets around suddenly turned black, and then activated again under some force... But even if they activated again, they could not see the external environment, and could only see a black piece. In this dark screen, a pair of twin puppets with silver light were gradually emerging from nothingness, as if they were going to replace the eyes of these puppets.

But just as these silver pupils were about to fully appear, the information center No. 0-003 also completed its self-destruction. A low buzzing sound was heard, and the reactor located directly below the information center was completely overloaded. A burst of bright electric sparks flashed across the inside and outside of the entire building, burning down all equipment along the way. At the core of the information center, energy lightning flashed everywhere, and energy flows were chaoticly distorted and twitching in the atmosphere. In the core processor, all the seven thousand soul cores collapsed and destroyed themselves in the surging energy turbulence, and the internal temperature of the building instantly exceeded 300 degrees, becoming like a furnace.

All storage devices and servers were physically destroyed. The fragile precision devices were subjected to lightning overload and the 300-degree high temperature roast without any seemingly being scrapped, and there was no chance of any use. At the same time, other information centers also received this news. They all temporarily closed the access to foreign messages and began to strengthen the firewall.

On the other end of the world, Joshua, who had just had some clues and had completely lost contact with the other end, frowned in dissatisfaction.

"What kind of mental barrier firewall is this? Why is it so powerful?" His tone was puzzled: "Can the technology of the soul puppet really reach a point where I can't even break it?"

"No matter how the link is, it will be a black screen... It seems that the technology of the soul puppet is indeed stronger than I thought."

At this time, the chariot and others had slowly crossed the swamp area where there was still a lot of electric charges and arrived at a position behind Joshua. They looked very nervous, but they were still getting closer. But just as the three of them were about to walk through a complex swamp terrain, the giant puppet and the black boy turned their heads together. They said in an electronic voice with a response: "Carriage, is there any news about the puppet's 'faith' in the rebel army?"

“What is faith…?”

Looking at the confused faces of the chariots and others, Joshua felt that there was no result in asking them, but it was meaningless to continue searching for the soul of the core puppet. The link between the other party and the distance seemed to be broken. Joshua couldn't continue to search through the information track, and even if the link was still maintained, it was useless. The firewall was too strong and he would not be able to attack for a while.

"The believer data packet, and that prayer..."

Without caring about the terrified chariot behind him, Joshua whispered to himself: "If I guess correctly, the natural special soul core structure, coupled with some restricted authority granting, can create a soul puppet with part of its own will. When the puppet has a soul, it will be loaded with a data packet called 'believers' to cultivate faith in a certain existence."

"Creator, promoter of time, master, listen to this title, can you say..."

The warrior pondered for a few seconds, and he frowned and whispered: "Behind these soul puppets is a god who created the 'puppets'?"

But why? Even Joshua, who is not very interested in becoming a god, knows that if he wants to provide faith to a god and get spiritual assistance that can resist divinity, the believer himself must have a firm will and a complete soul. The firmer the will and faith, the purer the help provided, and the more complete and powerful the soul, the greater the quantity.

The belief of soul puppets is to implant data packets into underlying programs. This kind of firmness is undoubtedly better than most people, but their souls... To be honest, Joshua feels that it is not complete at all, and can only be said to be barely available. No matter how pure this amount is, it cannot provide much help.

Moreover, if faith is really needed, then why not design some "faith gardens"? It is like "plantation, industrial, and mining gardens" that specialize in harvesting food, industrial products and raw materials. The "faith gardens" are specially brainwashing ordinary Siberians and superpowers, allowing this group of brainwashed people to be frustrated and then provide a large amount of faith as a belief battery. This design, no matter how you think, is better than spending dozens of souls to create a flawed self-conscious puppet, so that they can provide faith.

"No, maybe there is indeed such a garden, but I just didn't see it."

Temporarily suppressing this unreasonable doubt, Joshua felt that it was meaningless to continue thinking about this aspect. At present, the situation in the Siberian world is becoming more and more interesting and complicated. When the warrior thought of this, he couldn't help but snort, not knowing whether it was interesting or unhappy.

The Siberians and soul puppets, the superpowers and the rebels, the destruction of civilizations of the previous generation, the origin and end of war, the puppets with self-awareness and faith, the spiral tower in the center of the world, I don’t know if it exists, the gods hidden behind the scenes... and, most importantly, the steel pythons expelled from the world.

The world of Siberia hidden in the center of the void vortex, there are more and more secrets. Joshua couldn't help but have a premonition that he felt that all this was related. The expulsion of Siberia's python of steel was definitely not an accident without reason, but an artificial action that had been planned. The existence of this innovation is likely to be the person who created the current situation in the world of Siberia.

It's really interesting. Whether it's a human or a puppet, an individual or a civilization, the world where this commission is located is beyond my imagination again and again.

And right behind Joshua, the chariot trio was carefully observing the entire battlefield.

As bystanders of this battle, they were not attacked, at most they were frightened. Neither the earthquake swamp nor the heavy rain thunder affected their location, nor did they know if it was Joshua who deliberately did it. At this time, the chariot looked around the front and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Wherever you see, the wreckage of the puppet is all about.

The puppet buried in the soil, shattered by shock, poured into the water, the puppet burned by thunder, fell into a swamp, unable to move, the puppet whose soul core was blown out had no wreckage at all, and the puppet that was blown into powder by a huge iron fist... Within a radius of thousands of meters, the earth was in a mess and was ravaged, and dirty engine oil mixed with mud and water surged in the gaps in the mud, and you could smell the unpleasant iron smell.

In just ten minutes, a whole army of 10,000 hunters were wiped out, leaving only half of the puppet that was probably broken in the opponent's hands... And the chariot knew that this was not the limit, because when the torrential rain fell and the thunder roared, he saw a strong wind surging in the surrounding atmosphere, and the prototypes of more than a dozen tornados emerged in the gloomy world. However, for some reason, Joshua did not continue to create a tornado, but used the next ability.

Speaking of ability, the chariot couldn't help but look up and look behind the huge puppet. On the rotating steel ring, six gems were shining brightly. The six colors of silver, green, white, gold, red and black were running regularly, and extremely powerful energy surged in the air, creating various energy particles floating.

If a gem means a superpower as powerful as before, then these six gems are priceless treasures, and they also mean that they can completely destroy the army of hunters and completely destroy the power of the rebels. The huge puppet and young man in front of him are dangerous figures who can kill the entire rebels with their own strength!

Moreover, the other party seemed to be very dissatisfied with their slaughter of labor puppets.

But what can I do?... The old man who has entered old age and has basically experienced the entire history of the rise and fall of the rebel army can't help but sigh in his heart.

Unlike those ordinary young supermen who don’t know anything, the chariot knows that the labor puppets working outside the place are the parents of these supermen!

This incident was almost clear when the first baby in the Rebel Army was born. When everyone saw that the woman who was suspected of having a malignant disease gave birth to a baby in pain, all the smarter people in the Rebel Army understood how life came to this world... And when they discovered that in the plantation, those labor puppets would also give birth to young children, the middle and senior management of the Rebel Army also knew the origin of their people.

At the beginning, the initial rebels originally wanted to save some labor puppets from the garden, but these ordinary people had long been brainwashed into human flesh puppets without wisdom and self-will. Rescuing them was not only killing them, but also a resource reserve for oppressing all other superpowered people. After realizing their powerlessness, in order to avoid other superpowered people overestimating their abilities after knowing the truth, which in turn triggered chaos within the rebels, the leader deliberately clearly defined the boundary between superpowered people and ordinary people, and only rescued those superpowered children.

As for the subsequent massacre, it was just to achieve the goal. Over the years, most superpowers have long stopped treating the ordinary Siberians as humans. They really think that they are not the same species as workers, and they feel at ease when they kill them, and some people even find that such massacre can relieve stress and actually fall in love with this behavior.

It's really...sad.

"What, chariot, your face is very bad."

Suddenly, he heard the voice of a strange boy. The old man was startled, but he was also a member of the rebel army who had been through many battles, so he turned his head calmly and said in a tone with a hint of awe: "Puppet Master... I feel a little uncomfortable."

At some point, Joshua's human-shaped puppet had arrived at the side of the three chariots, ignoring the explosion that was so nervous that he didn't dare to say anything, and said to him that he seemed to be looking at the invisible scenery. Only the chariot had enough psychological qualities to dare to talk to this young man who killed the entire army of hunters with one person.

"Before, when the unlocker retelled my question, I noticed that you are the only one who did not show a disapproving expression."

The warrior said calmly. He did not care about the expression of the old man who had changed color slightly, but continued: "You answered my question calmly. It is incredible that you can live to old age in such an end-of-life situation... You should be the veteran of the resistance army, so I want to ask."

"What do you think of the world?"

Joshua asked this, his words sincerely and curious.

"How about it?"

At first, the chariot was a little surprised how the other party asked this question. He wanted to answer casually, but when he was about to speak, the old man's throat suddenly rolled and no sound... The chariot took a deep breath, but it was still difficult to suppress the violent emotions that suddenly surged from his heart.

Sadness, pain, despair, exhaustion, as soon as I think of my decades of life, the chariot wants to roar, to lament, and to cry, but in the end, none of this happened. The strong old man just gritted his teeth and calmed himself down, and then replied softly in a plain, without any ups and downs voice: "Not very good."

Of course.

How could it be good?

Where can I get any good about this kind of bullshit life?!
To be continued...
