Chapter 691: Zuo Zuo, Will You Leave?

A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

That overwhelming control over flesh and blood felt as though with just a single thought, every cell in his body could transform into a terrifying cataclysm, unleashing explosive power.

Without a second word, he immediately opened his system panel.

【Lynn】

【Race】: Human Race

【Class】: Night Doctor

【Alignment】: Chaotic Good

【Level】: 55

【Combat Ability】: Terrifying Flesh Calamity ability and extremely high intelligence.

【Introduction】: Potion Master apprentice from Wandering Souls Alley, Trainee Night Doctor of Nightfall City, close friend of multiple Roots, Executive who banged the tree, perverted and twisted lolicon, liberator of the Leviathan, abnormal human with Desire Strike ability. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like someone representing justice and goodness, but he does have such a label. His madness and his gradually awakening intelligence and control, which are wildly inconsistent with his own rank, have also steadily made a name for himself in the Dark World—not exactly a good one.

As always, he decisively ignored the system's defamatory introduction of him.

Staring at his skyrocketing level and his Constitution stat that far exceeded the other three stats, Lynn drew in a sharp breath.

He was actually very aware of himself.

If you purely considered his individual strength, after setting aside his series of overpowered items and the Cursed Eye, he was really just a large stat stick focused on Constitution points.

He had never relied on his own power, but rather on his cunning.

But at this very moment.

His level had not only jumped sixteen levels in a single sleep, but his Constitution had also long since broken a thousand. If you looked solely at Constitution, then he had absolutely far surpassed the stage he was currently in.

Even if he hadn't reached Transcendent, he was definitely not far off.

And if you added in a series of abilities like the Cursed Eye, Mimicry, Flesh Calamity, Curse Purge, and so on, his overall combat power was absolutely no longer at the trash-tier level!

But where did such a massive increase in Constitution come from?

Lynn frowned and muttered:

"Could it be because I banged the Desire Mother Tree?"

It was indeed very possible. Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, in the settings of various fantasy novels he had read before, there were indeed plenty of plots where after the protagonist banged some existence, they would receive a huge boost and benefits from them.

Could it be that he had also turned misfortune into fortune, gaining unexpected benefits from this matter?

Lynn only felt a wave of absurdity and strangeness.

And for some reason.

When he drove his flesh and blood, he also vaguely sensed that inside his body, besides the surging cellular activity, there was also an extra something that was hard to describe in words, like some ethereal thing that had left a mark on his consciousness.

Lynn shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to calm down, and turned to say:

"Although I'm not sure what's going on, we can't delay here any longer. You should have sensed it before, right? The God of All Machines has already found the hiding place of the Colossus's Brain ahead of all of us. If we don't—"

But before he could finish, Sir Aiwen smiled faintly and said:

"Don't worry, he can't get in."

Lynn was taken aback.

Sir Aiwen paced while leaning on his cane, speaking slowly: "Cyber, Intelligence Machine, Colossus. In the old main world, before we fell out, we were the only remaining and strongest three divine-level Technological Civilizations. To some extent, we all have some understanding of each other, and I think the Colossus and I knew each other the deepest."

"Once the sealed conscious state of the Colossus's Brain is locked down, even if someone finds its hiding place, there is absolutely no way to open that door, which represents the Colossus's final consciousness, within that domain."

"Because this was never a treasure prepared for others. Only the Colossus's Heart itself can truly step into the realm of brain consciousness and open that door."

Upon hearing this, Lynn was immediately filled with amazement.

Didn't that mean...

Sir Aiwen turned around, his gaze falling on Lynn and Zuo Zuo, and said deeply:

"Brute force cannot break it, and the other Colossus consciousnesses don't have that authority either. You should understand what I mean."

Yes.

He understood.

He really was that key, and the only irreplaceable one.

Only he could insert it into that lock and wake up the Colossus's Brain, because he had the authority of the Colossus's Heart.

"But then what?"

Lynn looked seriously at Sir Aiwen across from him.

"Do we really have a reason to free it? If the Colossus's brain consciousness really awakens, will it try to reclaim control over all the scattered fragments and restore the Colossus of yesteryear? What good would that do us?"

This was also a question he had always wanted to ask.

It was the attraction between the Colossus's consciousnesses that had, in an ethereal way, brought him here.

The Colossus's Brain had indeed saved him at a critical moment using the Colossus's authority. But if it really intended to restore the Colossus, it would inevitably take his heart, and also make Zuo Zuo and Little Treasure leave him. If that really happened, he would stand against the Colossus's Brain.

Because people are selfish.

He couldn't just watch his best companions and family get swept into this cruel fate.

Sir Aiwen silently watched him, looking at him for a long time, and also saw the seriousness and gravity in his eyes.

Finally, he looked up and said:

"Do you trust me, Lynn?"

Lynn looked at him firmly and smiled: "Of course I do. You are my elder brother, after all."

A faint curve also appeared at the corner of Sir Aiwen's mouth, and he slowly said: "Good. Then your elder brother can also tell you, no matter what happens next, no matter what intentions the Colossus's Brain has, if it truly becomes our enemy, then we will fight it. We can awaken it, and it also needs to know that we can just as easily dismantle it."

Without any further words.

Sir Aiwen's words immediately dispelled all of Lynn's concerns.

Because trust is mutual. If you don't even believe in your own family, then why should you let them become your family?

There was no doubt that Sir Aiwen would stand by his side.

But Zuo Zuo, Big Tongue, what about you two?

Zuo Zuo.

Even if you are foolish, stubborn, easy to deceive, and naive, you should have already realized that subtle connection between yourself and the Colossus by now, right?

That's right.

Zuo Zuo, you are the true consciousness of the Colossus's Heart. You are the Queen. And I'm just that Stupid Brain who stole your place.

Will you leave?

Will you make the decision that decides your future?
