Chapter 557: Machinery Leading the New Era
'Fairy Tail' is a very united guild. Anyone who attacks a guildmate, no matter if they are male or female, old or young, human or demon, will not be spared. This is one of the guild's rules.
Even though the tuner was a new machine and her thinking process was not perfect, since she had attacked Gray and the others, she could not rely on calling them "good sisters" to keep quiet. She must be punished.
However, no one here is a wicked person, and no one can think of any good ideas for the time being, so they can only delay it until her creator, the person who ordered them to attack, appears and then make a decision.
It didn't take long before this person showed up.
Whoosh…whoosh…
Two sounds of breaking through the air came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw two mechanical creatures equipped with magic-spraying aircraft descending from the sky above their heads. Their figures soaring in the air were like two free birds.
"You can actually defeat my 'Four Horsemen', you're really good... Fairy Tail!!"
With disheveled hair and a face staring at the iron nails, Val had a defiant look on his face and spoke in a tone that asked for a beating. Val's expression could be described as gritting his teeth, "I'll remember you!"
"Is that you? The one who ordered them to attack us?"
Erza's cold eyes quickly swept over Silver and landed on Val. After all, compared to the former, the latter was completely an evil villain, especially that disgusting, mocking laugh, which sounded unpleasant.
"The Twelve Holy Shields, the Mechanical Alchemist, Val of the Mechanical Clan!"
"Your attack on Fairy Tail should be considered as a declaration of war against us, right?"
Those who are familiar with Erza know that when she adopts such a serious tone, it means that she is serious.
"Whatever you want to think!"
Val ignored Erza's fighting spirit, turned around and waved at the mechanical girl Zhong, and shouted impatiently, "Come here! What are you doing there? I asked you to take action, but you ended up playing games with the other party? That's fine, but what about being sisters? I don't remember creating an emotional system for you!!"
Erza frowned immediately, not only because Val ignored her words, but also because of his attitude towards the modification technician, which made her very dislike him.
From Val's words, she could tell that he was the creator of the Tuner, so he was like the Tuner's parent. Parents treated their children in this way...
This is considered to be stepping on Erza's minefield these days!
Faced with Val's order, the modification engineer not only did not go over as he was told, but instead nervously hid behind Lucy, with an expression of fear, weakness, and helplessness on his face, and even a slight tremor, as if he was extremely afraid of this guy who looked not easy to mess with.
A kind of fear of blood and soul that can only be felt between the creator and the creation!
Well... just like a child who has made a mistake and is faced with his mother holding a cane and calling his full name with a serious face, basically no one can withstand such extreme emotions.
Seeing the tuner's appearance, Val became even angrier, stepped forward, and stretched out his evil hand.
"Alright, Val!"
At this moment, Silver suddenly patted Val's shoulder and stopped him. " I implanted the emotional system in them! Now it seems that our experiment is undoubtedly a success!"
"Huh?! What success are you talking about? Thoughts and emotions will only hinder their evolution and combat effectiveness! Mechanical soldiers that cannot be used in combat and are bound by emotions are completely useless !"
Val was extremely disdainful of Silver's words, "Have you forgotten? Our goal is to create mechanical soldiers and weapons that can lead the magic world into a new era!!"
Leading the wizarding world into a new era? What a big talk!
Such arrogant words startled everyone present, but when they thought of the extraordinary learning ability, magic and fighting power of the 'Four Horsemen', they couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
This is an enemy that even Erza finds difficult to deal with! And they are only the first generation of mechanical soldiers! If such mechanical soldiers are mass-produced and deployed in the war of the Albareth Empire's invasion of Ishgar...
The consequences are simply unimaginable!!
Just as they were thinking about it, they heard Silver's different opinion: "I think that a robot that can have its own thoughts and emotions is much better than a cold mechanical soldier who can only follow orders."
"Val, this is a magical world after all!"
"Powerful magic relies on extreme emotions. Implanting this system into mechanical soldiers is not necessarily a bad thing! As long as they are used well, they can also lead the magic world into a new era! And that new era may be even more glorious and brilliant!"
"Humph! You're going to regret this!"
"I am their father!"
Silver walked past Val towards the tuner and said in a friendly manner: "Come here, kid! Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"
Everyone was amazed, and the words "kind father, strict mother" inexplicably emerged in their minds.
Kira was stunned.
What's with this strong sense of déjà vu of Hiruzen and Danzo? ! Brothers, this is Fairy Tail, not Naruto!
Under Silver's gentle and affectionate gaze and her father's handsome appearance, the mechanical girl finally came out from behind Lucy and hugged his thighs like a good baby, acting coquettishly.
"Lao Xi, I need an explanation..."
Soon after, after a brief conversation with Silver, Kira understood what he had done.
At first, in order to prevent the start of a war, their original plan was to defeat or abduct the Twelve Shields, and Silver's target was Val, who was also a member of the Mechanical Clan, but at that time he had not yet figured out how to deal with this member of the clan.
But when he arrived at the Mechanical Town and saw the local customs and Val, he immediately had an idea.
Divert attention, lure, and make empty promises!
As a genius of the mechanical race, don't you want to let your people live a better life? Don't you want to prove to humans how powerful your race is? Since you like war so much, shouldn't you think about upgrading the mechanical soldiers? How can you be complacent with such a small achievement? You are a genius of the mechanical race that only appears once every hundred years, and you are responsible for leading the magic world into a new era! You are the future of our mechanical race! !
The deafening question hit Val's soul like a bolt from the blue, and then he was convinced.
Afterwards, with Silver's help and supervision, Val began a month-long journey of manufacturing new mechanical soldiers.
"……powerful!"
After listening to it, Kira could only give a thumbs up to express his respect and admiration. He didn't expect that Silver, a mechanical race, could have such a powerful mouth-to-mouth! It's comparable to Makarov! !
“Hahaha… I’m the boss of the Dragon Slayer Research Institute, and I have several subordinates. This kind of thing is a common occurrence!”
Oh yes, those guys in the research institute might have grown up under his deception, no wonder they have so much experience in raising children.
"Unfortunately, Val and I have different ideas after all."
Silver's tone was somewhat regretful. "In his opinion, ruthless and more powerful fighting machines are the key to a new era; but I think that emotional artificial mechanical life is the key."
“I see!”
Kira nodded, then looked at the mechanical girl not far away, and sighed in his heart: Having two such manufacturers, I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for her.
If Silver succeeds, perhaps there will be another race in the world in the future, just like Atelias.
I don't know if this technology involving species creation will be subject to the 'Curse of Anxelram'?
