Chapter 381 What is glory?

"You succeeded."

Trent's nest, this is the first sentence of the old goat after seeing Turing.

"Please come in, two."

It personally welcomed Turing and the Iliad, who was still excited on his face. This was the second day after the battle. For some reason, Turing felt a feeling of loss on the old beast in front of him.

"Mr. Trent..."

"I know, come with me."

Trent interrupted Iliad and brought the two of them to the secret room again.

"You succeeded, Blaze. I think, after defeating Kirk, this will also bring you a lot of glory, right?"

"That's of course!" As soon as I talked about this, Iliad became more and more excited. "Now more than twenty sponsors have come to us, and the Great Grail has opened the surrounding industrial chain based on Blaze's existing image. Soon Blaze will become famous throughout Puniska... No, he has done it now! Everyone said that it doesn't even need to go through too many challenges to directly reach the hunting level!"

"Not bad...not bad, a star in the arena..."

Trent murmured, looking at Turing's appearance at the moment.

After fighting with Sangtukik, his body size soared again. Although his body length of more than ten meters cannot be compared with the semi-upright old fighting beast due to physiological structure, it is not much inferior.

"But you know, the glory I mean...is not these things."

The excited Iliad was suddenly a little silent: "Ha?"

"The glory of fighting beasts... it is a creed, it is a recognition of existence, a sublimation moment... witnessed. Blaze, did you feel that moment when you defeated Kirk?"

Turing, who had not made any noise since entering the door, tilted his heads, and he didn't understand what the old fighting beast wanted to say.

"Thousands of spectators... and behind the camera, thousands of households, Puniska, Anding District, behind their screens, there are thousands of spectators who have witnessed the birth of a new legend. For this... are you not fluctuating? The criminals who have no interest in others have achieved the glory of today... aren't you excited for that moment?"

Turing tilted his head, not quite understanding what Trent wanted to express, but the old beast shook his head again: "Forget it, just think you are an old guy and talk to yourself. What you want is here."

It took out the machine, placed it in front of a man and a beast, and connected it to the power supply.

"You have completed the transaction between us, then it's time to get your reward. This machine comes from the evil beast of the King's Court decades ago, and is a simplified device provided by the Great Grail for the Royal Guards."

The topic is here, Iliad quickly stepped forward, tried to turn on the machine, and clicked on the graphical interface: "These machines... are they made by the Great Grail themselves? Instead of being controlled by humans?"

"The Great Grail here should not refer to the 'Great Grail' itself, but the people in the Great Grail facilities, or an organization, a regime, that is, the Tumi Chamber of Commerce, or... the temple." Trent did not need Trent, Turing answered Iliad's questions.

"That's right, the Super Limit Arena is controlled by the Royal Guards, which belongs to the Tumi Chamber of Commerce, the Temple supervises the Great Holy Grail, and... Conscious Reincarnation. And this machine is the machine provided by the Temple to manage the Super Limit Beast Fighting."

"Sheng... wait, if that's it, the two researchers who came to home that day... were the people from the temple?"

"Have you just reacted now?" Turing glanced at Iliad. "They and the Royal Guard obviously do not belong to the same organizational structure. The man named Manik is very afraid of their identity."

"I don't know what conflicts are there between the Royal Guard and the Temple Researcher. In short, after today, you will have some freedom, but be careful not to be noticed by outsiders, especially those of the Royal Guard."

Trent came to the machine and told the two of them how to use this thing.

The machine is named "Simple Graphic Stack Integrator", but in the words of the Royal Guards who originally held this object, it is called the "soul roulette".

It can install or uninstall the "cage" program used to control the evil beast of Wangting, realize the docking and physical exchange between two stack bodies, as well as other functions involving stack body management.

When Turing, who was already curious about the technology of "stack body", asked "whether it can read consciousness and change consciousness", the old fighter laughed:

"This is just a management debugging instrument specially provided by the temple for the Royal Guard. The function you mentioned may have, but perhaps it is something that only the Great Holy Grail can do. And such technology can only be held in the hands of the Great Holy Grail."

At this point, Turing has become increasingly clear about the technology of this world.

At first he believed that the Tumi Chamber of Commerce held two technology trees in its hand, namely the synthetic beast and the transmission of consciousness.

But now it seems that the superstructure of this world is essentially composed of two: the Tumi Chamber of Commerce and the Great Holy Grail, or the Temple.

The Tumi Chamber of Commerce mainly masters synthetic beast biotechnology, while the consciousness technology is in the hands of the temple. Judging from all the signs, the temple is obviously higher than the Tumi Chamber of Commerce, but it just does not interfere with the rule.

As for consciousness technology, if consciousness can be reproduced, can it be copied? Is it read and modified as code, or is it a form of expression of "soul", just like... the Dead Train?

These questions were buried deep in Turing's heart and waiting for answers since he entered this world. Although the power of this machine is not as powerful as he imagined, it is enough to satisfy his desire for knowledge and needs at present.

Under the guidance of the old beast fighting, Iliad connected Turing with a "soul roulette" and helped him uninstall the background program "cage" located in the stack.

It was a wire harness interface that could be connected to the stack body. It was like a real uninstaller. It had no feeling about peeling off the "cage" program. It only confirmed the results after experimenting with Iliad's controller.

At this moment, the sense of control that had been lingering in Turing's heart was finally erased, and the anxiety that had always existed in his heart was erased.

"Then, I'll give this instrument to you. It's a pity that the law enforcement officers on the road find it wrong, so I suggest you pack it and leave. Next... let's talk about the second transaction."

The "Soul Roulette" was pushed to Iliad and Turing without any nostalgia, but Trent did not go straight to the point, but asked another strange question:

"Blaze, what do you think of glory?"

What is glory?

The old beast's sudden question made Turing a little confused, but after Lenovo entered the door, Turing replied thoughtfully:

"I think this thing is valued by the arena and the Super Fighter, but in my opinion... the so-called glory, honor, is nothing more than a sense of satisfaction."

"Oh?" Trent narrowed his eyes, "I'm looking forward to your explanation."

The topic of the old beast fighting suddenly opened up made Iliad quite curious. After hearing Turing's statement, he lowered his head and thought about something.

"Finishing a goal, achieving something, and getting what you want... After a happy ending, these things will give people a sense of satisfaction. But the term "glory" is more ritual, not just getting something, completing a goal equal satisfaction."

"It is raised to the affirmation and realization of self-worth, and when an individual realizes social value, it will be recognized by the environment. The difference is that this 'glory' is given to oneself or to others. However, in the final analysis, this emotion is still a sense of satisfaction, even if it rises to a certain level. And many times, it is accompanied by interests. Without interests, there is no glory to be said. This is a complex topic and cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences."

The last word fell, and Iliad's eyes lit up and nodded in approval, but the old fighting beast stared at Turing and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, it slowly opened:

"Ah... So that's how you understand... If it were Sang Tujik, he might rush up to try to crush you. I might have done this more than ten years ago, but... I didn't expect that you were 'looking down' the entire Puniska and 'looking down' the entire Super Colosseum."

"This is my understanding. There is only one thing that after seeing the last moment of Sangtukik, I hesitated because I don't understand what kind of thing it can make it try its best to reach out and grab it at the moment before death. Or is that it's just a regret that the purpose was not achieved?" The scene of Sangtukik crawling to the statue of the Lord of the Arena with his skeleton before he died has not dissipated in Turing's mind.

A heavy bone terror, a corpse whose temperature gradually decreased, staggered in the blood, which had a certain impact on Turing, whose sensuality returned to the brain.

"You are right... This is indeed a complex topic. Everyone has their own 'glory' in their hearts, and 'glory' is accompanied by interests, as well as a large number of complex emotions and factors..." Trent's paws overlapped, "On the topic of glory, Sontukik once had a disagreement with me."

"In my eyes, glory is to defeat the opponent in the arena, win cheers and praises, which are affirmations from the world, and they make me feel... alive. And Sangtukik once believed this, until later, many years after Kjaka died, the legend of the 'Halloween Temple' spread among us."

"The Valhalla in the mouth of Sontukik...is not an abstract thing, but something concrete?" Turing's four pairs of red eyes flashed.

However, Trent spread his claws: "Who knows?"

"After Kjaka's death, Yasen Krow also disappeared. Everyone said that all the beasts said that they went to the Temple of Heroes, which was the highest honor of the Super Limit Beast, where they could cleanse our past, and that all the Super Limit Beasts with glory had their own place there. I did not believe these rumors, but..."

"But did Sang Tukike believe it?" said Iliad.

"Yes, it quickly changed its view of glory, and many beasts changed. They fought for it to go to the legendary Valhalla. After that, Sangtujik stayed at the plundering level."

"It believes that the secret in my hand will cause the Valhalla to collapse and return glory to chaos, so it stays here, stays at the plundering level, and wants to kill me, so the secret will always be just a secret."

"But you later had 'return home', and this milestone saved you from the death race, so Sang Tujike stayed and looked after you."

"That's right." Trent nodded at Turing, "This is the whole story. The reason I tell you is because I don't want to bring these things into the grave, and also to give you more knowledge about that secret..."

"So what is that secret?" Iliad was almost exhausted while feeling confused about the content.
