Finding a New Master for You!
To become the fourth pillar of the "Trinity"?
Surpassing the Trinity machine spirit, achieving shared prosperity and shared ruin, it can not only prevent a repeat of the "Julius Davenport" tragedy, but also add another fighting force to the Valshius Family.
It must be said that the idea proposed by the Logic Soul perfectly matched Alvin's thoughts.
"Ha, what are you still hesitating for, kid!"
The Anger Soul seemed impatient, shouting, "Could it be that you're scared? This is the best solution!"
However, Alvin remained unmoved, glancing sideways at the Anger Soul, and calmly said, "You seem very afraid."
Will I abandon you?
Upon hearing this, the Anger Soul fell silent, as if its thoughts had been struck.
"We are indeed terrified of falling back into a deep sleep, never to awaken again," the Logic Soul interjected, still full of reason and composure. "We can only offer suggestions; the final decision is yours. But I hope you will consider that our 'value' is far more important than you imagine."
Please trust us.
This is the Compassion Soul; its voice is still so gentle, as if carrying a deep apology.
Alvin squinted, scrutinizing the three distinctly different mechanical faces.
He knew very well that this "Trinity machine spirit" concealed a huge secret, including the Grand Sage of Julius Davenport's death, which was probably not just because the "Cocoon of Myriad Machines" escaped the petri dish, causing the Mechanicus Ark to crash.
In fact, a little thought reveals that the "Cocoon of Myriad Machines" at that time was still in its embryonic stage, far from the massive form it would become later. Without the secret assistance of the Trinity machine spirit, how could it have caused the Mechanicus Ark Fleet to crash?
Julius, the youngest Grand Sage to become the Martian Mechanicus, was gifted with technological relics from humanity's Dark Ages.
Davenport couldn't possibly be a fool, so how could he not understand the characteristics of his creation?
This is the real reason why Alvin is wary.
He speculated that Julius Davenport's fleet, including his own death, was very likely related to this "Trinity machine spirit"!
The real culprit behind the crash of the Mechanicus Ark may not have been the "Cocoon of the Mechanical Ark," but most likely the Trinity machine spirit. In an attempt to escape the conspiracy of the Mechanicus, the fleet was ultimately destroyed on this planet due to unforeseen circumstances, and the Trinity machine spirit fell into a deep sleep.
Sign agreements with them?
"Heh, "Alvin chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Sorry, I'm a bit of a coward; I won't sign any of your so-called agreements."
How did Julius Davenport die?
They may have signed an agreement with them, but in the end, they were still played to death by these Trinity machine spirit.
That alone proves that the agreement is completely useless!
The atmosphere suddenly froze. The three mechanical faces displayed different expressions; the Anger Soul revealed fear and terror.
The Compassion Soul seemed to weep, while only the Logic Soul remained calm.
State your conditions.
The Logic Soul stared at him expressionlessly. "If you truly believe you don't need us, there's absolutely no need to talk to us so much. Based on your language model deduction, I conclude that you have a 67% probability of keeping us."
There's only a 33% chance they'll reseal us.
As expected of the most composed and intelligent "Logical" thinker among the Trinity, Alvin gave it a deep look and chuckled, "You're right, I do prefer to keep you."
"Kid, are you trying to scare us?!"
The Anger Soul roared impatiently, like a violent, crazed patient.
"Thank you"
The tone of the Compassion Soul carried a hint of sorrow, but also a touch of relief.
What are you planning to do with us?
The Logic Soul's cold gaze fell on Alvin. Although it tried its best to hide the slight unease hidden in its tone, Alvin still keenly noticed it.
"Are you afraid?" Alvin raised an eyebrow, gazing at the three human faces, each with a different expression, embossed on the mechanical heart.
He said meaningfully, "I'm increasingly convinced that you three are more like humans than so-called Machine Spirit. You can even mimic human emotions perfectly."
From the very beginning, he felt something was off.
The Trinity machine spirit is less a "Machine Spirit" and more a collection of three independent "personalities," each with different emotions, thought patterns, and even personalities!
This is something that cannot be achieved by so-called "Machine Spirit" or "Abominable Intelligence."
Furthermore, considering that this "Trinity machine spirit" is a technological relic from humanity's dark ages, it becomes somewhat chilling to think about.
However, Alvin was also well aware that now was not the time to delve deeper. He truly needed the "Trinity machine spirit," not to mention their data processing capabilities, but just the secrets hidden behind them, and those two abilities that could potentially turn the tide of battle...
That's enough.
"Don't worry, at least for now, I have no intention of killing you." Looking at the three human-faced reliefs, Alvin smiled calmly, "However, just to be on the safe side, I will find you a new 'master' to take charge of controlling you."
He?
The Logic Soul keenly noticed that the wording in Alvin's sentence seemed a bit off, but at this point, they had no other choice.
If they don't agree to Alvin's conditions, their fate will be to be abandoned on this desolate planet, like a glass ball, until the storage array server fails and they are buried in the dust.
"We understand."
Ultimately, guided by the Logic Soul, they briefly reached a consensus.
"The Trinity Agreement?" Alvin gave them a meaningful look and couldn't help but sneer, "What agreement?"
Nothing beats violence.
They were saying not long ago that the three consciousnesses would always be at odds, but on this matter, they surprisingly agreed on everything.
And then what happened?
The agreement hasn't been fulfilled, has it?
A moment later, a suit of metal armor entered, and in the pupils of the helmet, soul flames flickered.
The moment they came into contact with the metal armor, the three human-face reliefs on the mechanical heart simultaneously revealed expressions of fear, with the most violent and Anger Soul even letting out a terrified scream.
"What... what are you?!"
"I?"
The armored figure raised its head, flames blazing in its eye sockets, and looked at them with a mocking, half-smiling expression, "Magradros —you should be familiar with that name, shouldn't you?"
"You, you are---"
The ever-calm Logic Soul finally felt its logical thinking crumble. Its voice suddenly rose, almost a scream as it uttered its name: "You are the Void Dragon, the Machine God, the C'tan of the Materium! How could you possibly be here?!"
Magradros, the Void Dragon, seemed to enjoy it, a smile playing on his lips as he uttered a simple two-word phrase, "Guess."
