Chapter 456 Artificial Humans
"Artificial humans?" Rudy raised his brow with an amused expression on his face and asked, "Are you made in a laboratory or sothing?"
"Before I answer, let tell you my personal selfish reason for calling you here." Lu Bela took out a gun from her suit and knelt in front of Rudy.
"..."
She moved her hands to Rudy and uttered, "Please, kill ."
"Uhh… I think you should ntion details on what the fuck you are trying to do."
"I want you to kill ."
"That's the next level masochist I have ever t," Rudy remarked.
"I was not made in a laboratory; I am made from magic. Let tell you so of the things humans did to rival the other races," Lu Bela said calmly.
"...okay."
"Long ago, and I an really, really long ago, when all the races used to live on one globe, the humans were powerless, weak, and in every way inferior, even to the animals.
Humans wanted to beco strong, but sheer physical strength was nothing compared to the mighty magic of others. So, the other races decided to share their powers with the humans as an experint. They tried it on a few—"
"Yeah, I know about that," Rudy interrupted Lu Bela and uttered, "The experint was successful, and the humans beca greedy, which then led to a war."
Lu Bela's eyes widened in surprise, but she lowered her gaze and chuckled wryly before muttering, "I guess it makes sense if you know everything. After all, you are the Lord."
"You bet I do," Rudy said haughtily, even though he learned everything from Nyxia.
"Since you know that, I will skip and co to the main point." After a brief pause, Lu Bela continued, "After the separation of all races, the humans decided to take revenge on them."
"Uhh… what? Why would they want to take revenge?" Rudy asked with a puzzled look on his face. "If anything, humans were at fault, weren't they?"
"Indeed. But the humans were left alone to survive after the separation. They had to get their own food, make their own shelter, and survive alone. The humans had realized that even after getting their powers, they were still weak, and their bodies couldn't adapt to the power properly.
Thus, they decided to make artificial humans using forbidden spells and witchcraft from those who had stayed behind for their loved ones. Artificial humans were made to adapt and evolve. They were just like humans in every way but better.
Perfect gene sequence, better systems, and overall a true human form. We were made genderless, so we didn't even have a proper pronoun."
Lu Bela explained calmly.
"And you are one of them?"
"Yes. Since artificial humans didn't feel pain, get sick, or die, they did everything for humans. They used us like a slave to do their things. However, they were our creators who gave us life and everything, so we had no complaints.
Humans had a short life span, and I don't an the current era's life span. Back then, even humans used to live for hundreds of years, but it has been slowly decreasing.
The artificial humans didn't function to age, so we never died. We served humans for generations and generations, but we were never connected to them. They treated us like we were just a tool for their daily life.
Centuries passed, and the humans eventually forgot about the primary goal. We kept serving them, but everything ended one day.
Even as artificial humans, our bodies needed core energy to survive, and we ran out of it once a day and died. Since the humans in that era knew nothing about anything. We were thrown away like a doll to die.
However, that did not happen. We have lived long enough, and we were the only ones who had knowledge of the lost tis. We utilized it and repaired it ourselves.
Years passed by, and we beca more and more advanced. We lived in the shadows of humanity and witnessed everything. We didn't seek revenge for what the humans did to us. We simply wanted to live.
As technology advanced, there were new ways to make artificial humans. We could have a new body, a new form, by leaving out the old shell and installing our data in the new one— which was better than reviving the core.
That was a way for us to gain immortality. I was one of the few from the failed experint that couldn't adapt and evolve. But I had the right to live. The other artificial humans helped .
Unlike immortality in humans, they could lose their loved ones and regret achieving immortality. They had to see their loved ones die again and again. They would lose the will to live.
However, we had nothing of that sort. We don't have a heart. We don't understand human emotions or feelings. We are nothing but living dolls with no purpose in their lives.
My fellow artificial humans gave up on getting a new shell. They chose to die. In the end, I was left alone with several others like , who were defective and couldn't contain any power in their body.
I… wanted to die too. There was no purpose for our living, no reason for existing. However, I was the only one left with enough knowledge and intellect from the lost tis. If I died, everything would be lost.
The other artificial humans would know nothing about how and why they were created. They will beco like , but they didn't have enough intellect to process a single thought. Thus, to save them from suffering, I beca their leader and lived and lived and… lived.
I thought about dying many tis, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Suicide wasn't in my system, so even if I tried to kill myself, I would fail. I cannot kill myself, thus… I ca to you.
The Lord is said to grant everyone's wish. The almighty and all-knowing. So please, Rudy Ross, I may not be one of your creations, but please, grant my wish. Kill and release from the pain and suffering of this forsaken world."
