Chapter 405 Spiritual Machinery
Inside the armory, the projection flickered and distorted, and Nanba Jiro's voice rang out: "Eh! I never imagined I was..."
"Warning! Warning!"
"Personality model has been compromised! Personality model has been compromised!"
A sudden, piercing alarm sounded, interrupting Jiro Nanba's words, and at the same time, crimson lights illuminated the entire arsenal.
Seeing this, Bai Ze finally confirmed his previous guess.
The Nanba Sojiro before my eyes is not a real person, but a data personality.
The old man is so cunning, he keeps coming up with one scheme after another?
On the surface, it's a clone, but then a data personality takes over the clone, while the real person is hiding behind the scenes.
With so many sets, aren't you afraid of things getting out of control?
"No, my 'words become law' wasn't an intrusion; it directly targeted Nanba Sojiro. If it were just a data personality, not the real person, it should have gone wrong and failed."
In Bai Ze's mind, the object he wanted to use was Nanba Jiro Makoto, not a projection or a virtual data personality.
This is purely idealistic; even if the other party is hiding behind the scenes or not even here, at most it just means they didn't have an effect, not that they've mistaken the target.
unless··.
Bai Ze stared at the chaotic and distorted projection.
This is Jiro Nanba.
The old guy who always hid in the background, who was afraid of death and even preferred to endure harsh environments, was a data personality.
At this moment, Nanba Jiro's phantom began to collapse.
But his voice continued, and became steady and powerful.
It's as if he suddenly went from being seventy or eighty years old to being young again, and then transformed into the prime of his life.
"Elimination".
"regeneration."
"Reshape".
The projection is distorted, then reassembled.
Nanba Sojiro's projection reappeared, and his appearance had returned to around thirty years old.
At the same time, an invisible force appeared in Bai Ze's perception. It was a force similar to spiritual power, with fluctuations of consciousness.
"Nanba Jiro, is he dead?" Bai Ze stared at the reappearing projection.
"In a practical sense, he is dead."

Naniwa Jiro's projection said calmly, "Although he uploaded his consciousness, no matter how realistic the consciousness composed of data is, it is still different from the original."
It's hard to say what the essence of a person's soul is, but it's definitely not just a bunch of data.
After the consciousness was uploaded, its essence changed... or rather, it was actually created using data to create another consciousness that was exactly the same.
This is different from the mechanical monks who abandon their flesh and blood.
Mechanical monks cultivate their powerful spiritual strength step by step, eventually sacrificing their flesh and blood, burning their essence to enhance their divine essence, and then inhabiting their mechanical bodies.
It's less a matter of consciousness uploading and more a matter of possessing a mechanical body capable of carrying consciousness.
Jiro Naniwa clearly couldn't possess such strong mental power; he lacked sufficient talent and was ill-equipped to withstand the Western Alliance's modifications. His consciousness upload was essentially a copy of his own personality.
Therefore, Nanba Sojiro is dead.
Sōjirō Namba, who survived and took charge of Namba Heavy Industries, was actually a data personality all along.
Or perhaps, the existence behind the data personality is the present-day Jiro Namba.
"Spiritual Machine," Bai Ze uttered.
In the mechanical world, there are no living beings of flesh and blood. Instead, there exists a kind of spirit with a mechanical body, which is called "spirit machine".
"It seems you know quite a lot."
"Nanba Jiro" said in a completely calm voice, "Nanba Sojiro, who was once alive, had someone steal a nascent spirit machine from the mechanical world, attempting to merge himself with the consciousness of the nascent spirit machine to achieve immortality. Unfortunately, he misjudged one thing: his mental strength was insufficient to complete the fusion; he could only be fused with."
Nanba Sojiro's behavior can also be described as a form of consciousness uploading.
However, this kind of consciousness uploading is a fusion of two different spirits, not a reconstruction based on data. Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for him to succeed but actually be dead.
However, Jiro Nanba's mental strength was too weak to complete the fusion.
So, he became a data personality.
"Then," Bai Ze asked, "what should I call you?"
As he spoke, an invisible force field quietly expanded.
The opponent was not the weak and powerless Nanba Jiro, but a powerful spiritual machine.
Bai Ze couldn't directly control this magical machine using the "words become law" technique.
Ultimately, we still have to resort to force.
"You can also call me Nanba Sojiro," the young projection said calmly. "After all, I possess all his records."
Before he could finish speaking, the red light covering Bai Ze's entire body turned into lasers.
"—Memories."
The lingering sound still echoed, but the laser had already completely covered Bai Ze.
While conversing with Bai Ze, it was constantly performing deductive calculations, and it was especially wary of Bai Ze's intrusion.
Even now, the spirit machine Nanba Jiro has not been able to figure out how Bai Ze invaded the data personality.
This made the spirit machine Nanba Sojiro extremely wary of Hakutaku, and he only launched a sudden attack after establishing an attack model.
While this act disregards martial ethics, spirit machines, being non-human beings, lack even human morality, let alone any martial ethics.
Fortunately, I have no morals either.
Bai Ze murmured to himself, and a misty aura appeared around him, like clouds and fog, weakening the laser beam layer by layer before refracting it.
The greatest advantage of laser weapons is not their destructive power, but their speed.
It also has a significant drawback: it is essentially a light wave, which can be reflected and affected by various factors.
For example, in extreme weather conditions, lasers can be affected by the atmosphere.
"open."
The pre-contained true energy suddenly transformed, and a burst of multicolored light appeared, piercing through the ground and shooting straight into the earth.
The spirit machine Nanba Jiro is stalling for time, as is Bai Ze.
Their actions can only be described as equally impressive.
"Data analysis shows a high degree of consistency with the 'Empire's Absolute Destruction Dragon' Bai Ze's move—Five-Colored Divine Light."
Conclusion: You are Bai Ze.
Nanba Jiro quickly calculated and tested the data, while the projection announced the results and observed Bai Ze's reaction.
"Where did you get this data from?" Bai Ze didn't know how to react to its words.
Previously known as the Destruction Dragon of the Eastern Xia Empire, now they've added "Absolute." The Japanese are as unique as ever in their ability to give nicknames, even corrupting spirit machines.
As for revealing our moves... things didn't go as planned, so we have to finish this quickly.
This will also prevent attracting other people.
"Come on, it won't take up too much of your time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant hand slammed down.
