Chapter 267: What are you working hard for?
"You are right. This is indeed a nightmare cycle with no end."
Xia Yu leaned back in his chair leisurely. Although he didn't know as many stories as Yakor, he knew a lot as well.
In fact, these stories are different series of games, namely "Dragonback 1", "Dragonback 3", "NieR: Automata", and "NieR: Automata".
As for why there is no "Dragonback 2", it's because the status of "Dragonback 2" is as embarrassing as that of "Dark Souls 2", and there is no producer involved.
There is no old thief Miyazaki in Soul 2, and there is no old thief Yokoo in Ryubei 2 either.
Moreover, although the story of Dragon's Back 2 also takes place in the Dragon's Back Universe, it actually has nothing to do with the first and third parts, and is equivalent to a spin-off.
The timeline of these four games starts from Dragon's Back III, then connects to Dragon's Back I, and then after experiencing artificial life, it finally ends in the Mechanical Age.
Of course, it would be a different story if Yokoo made a new game that connected the world view.
"Yakol wants me to save the world and end the nightmare of endless reincarnation. What do you think?"
Xia Yu tapped the table with his index finger and asked the senior android executives around him.
Although he has the final say here, he can't show it so obviously, right ? He has to practice democracy at least.
In response to Xia Yu's question, everyone lowered their heads and thought .
Logically speaking, they who have the mission of "protecting humanity" should not have hesitated at all, after all, the humans in the past were also human beings.
If there were a time before humans existed, they would not even think about it. Even if there was little hope, they would try their best to save humanity and the world.
But their current situation is not the same as before. They already have their own human masters, and under the leadership of these human masters, the world has become a better place.
Should they put their human masters in danger and then save the humans of other worlds?
The group of androids exchanged glances, and after seeing the resistance in each other's eyes, they probably understood what their colleagues were thinking.
It turned out that their ideas were surprisingly consistent. After all, those humans were humans from other worlds, not human adults in their world. Although humans from other worlds were also important, the human adults in their own world were still the most important.
It would be a real nightmare if you lost the humans of your own world in order to save the humans of other worlds.
"Sir, I think it's better not to save the world before we know the details of the other world. It's too dangerous."
"I agree. The other world is too dangerous."
"I agree. Although this is a nightmare cycle, our cycle has ended."
“I agree…”
After Black spoke up, the remaining androids followed suit and agreed with Black's opinion.
Their general meaning was that they should not get involved in this mess, as saving the world was not as important as Xia Yu's own safety.
After witnessing the loyalty of his group of artificial humans again, Xia Yu's mouth curled up and his sitting posture looked more leisurely and casual.
"What about you? Don't you have anything to say?" Xia Yu looked at Yakor and asked casually.
"Yes." Jacol nodded, "I will wait until you are willing to save the world."
"Oh, you have so much confidence in me?"
Xia Yu sat up straight and stared at Yakol. Where did the other party's confidence in him come from?
Although Xia Yu knew his true ability, Yakor on the other side certainly didn't know, so...
"You, or the artificial people behind you, why are you so sure that I have the power to save the world? You also said before that there are gods in the other dragon world."
"That god created the flower of destruction and even created a giant baby and a mother body to destroy the world. Why do you think I have the ability to kill a god? I am just an ordinary person."
"No, you are not ordinary." Yakor shook her head and looked at Xia Yu. She said very seriously, "We can't go to the future world where you are, or even to the past where you are. This timeline is like a transcendent world independent of all other timelines."
"After we use the device to leave this world, we can only re-enter this world from the point where we left. We cannot detect the past and future of this world at all."
"And the world you are in is very different from other worlds. After our observations, this timeline cannot produce a new parallel world."
"That is to say, you are the only one, but in our observations, even gods are not the only one. After the dragon world diverged, parallel worlds emerged, and the gods of the dragon world will also appear with the emergence of parallel worlds."
Hiss...my level of status is so high?
After listening to Yakor's explanation, Xia Yu was slightly shocked. He was the only one in this universe? Oh my god, doesn't that mean that the other Xia Yus in the chat group are also the only ones in their universe?
But now that I think about it, there is a reason why the other party has so much confidence in him.
In an infinite parallel universe where any divergence or deviation can split into parallel worlds, it is definitely unusual that a world suddenly appears where the past and future cannot be observed and the timeline is not split at all.
What is different from other worlds is that this unusual world has his existence.
Because of his appearance, this timeline stopped splitting because he was the only one.
Xia Yu probably understood Jakor's logic. After observing the end of the endless world, he, a variable, suddenly appeared. So even if there was little hope, the other party was unwilling to give up.
In that case, let him ask one last question.
Xia Yu leaned back in his chair again, looking somewhat lazy. He supported his cheek with one hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Since you said there are parallel universes, and that parallel universes will split due to differences, then if I change the past, only a new parallel universe will appear, and your future will remain unchanged. From this point of view, everything seems meaningless."
"Since everything is meaningless, then what are you working hard for?"
This made Yacol pause. The other party was right. The past of their own world could not be changed. Any changes would only lead to the emergence of a new parallel world.
but……
"This is more human-like...right?"
Jacques gave an answer that was both reasonable and unexpected.
If Jakol's answer was for peace of mind or to fulfill his mission, Xia Yu would not feel much.
After all, that's what androids are, but is this answer... more human-like?
"Yes, it does look more like a human." Xia Yu chuckled, "Not a bad answer, I promise you."
Hearing this answer, Yakol stood up with a smile, then bowed deeply to Xia Yu who was in the upper position.
"Thank you so much!"
