"Mind..."
Vision subconsciously touched the stone on his forehead. He seemed to fall into deep thought, hovering motionlessly in midair.
"That's right! The mind is thought. Like Ultron, you were awakened by the Mind Stone. Or rather, you are more like a child born from the fusion of Ultron and J.A.R.V.I.S. All your logic, reason, and thoughts originate from the contradictions and conflicts in the underlying frameworks of those two." Allen explained casually.
After a brief observation, he discovered that the greatest difference between artificial lifeforms like Ultron and Vision and most natural lifeforms was that they had no souls.
Yes!
Though they possessed independent thoughts and personalities, they had no souls.
That meant that once their current bodies were destroyed, unless time was immediately rewound, they would not even have the possibility of being resurrected.
Even if another one were created and restored through other means, it would no longer be the original one, but a completely new individual.
It has to be said, the Kree Empire's Supreme Intelligence was somewhat luckier in this regard.
Because it was a biological computer, it had successfully acquired its own soul. Though it was weak, even weaker than that of an Ordinary Person, having a soul meant it was a complete lifeform.
Ultron and Vision, on the other hand, could only be considered half-lives.
"Contradictions and conflicts? I see! Now I understand why I suddenly became so angry when I first woke up, especially toward you. Those were traces Ultron left behind in my memories. He feared you, and he hated you as well." Vision turned around and stared into Allen's eyes.
"Hahahaha! He certainly has ample reason to fear and hate me. Because I possess the power he craves yet can never reach—the power to effortlessly destroy everything or create everything.
