This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1297 - 575 Kent’s Legacy

"So that’s why you said I was a thousand years too late?"

Mu You sighed, finally understanding the meaning of Taurus’s words when they first met.

She was waiting for Kent, and after so many years without news, she must have realized that Kent had long since died.

And now Mu You, as the inheritor of Kent’s legacy, naturally also had the duty to fulfill the promises he once made.

"As a negotiator, Kent was undoubtedly qualified. He even once managed to persuade Ava, leading it to believe in the Fool’s plan," Taurus suddenly spoke again.

"Mecha can endlessly repeat set labor; their advantage lies in the execution within established rules, such as making more advanced weapons, to maximize performance within existing limits. However, due to the sealed foundational logic, they can never break through the existing rules, and thus without the help of living creatures, their technological ceiling can be easily capped."

"That’s also why Ava accepted Kent. It needed Kent, as a living creature and simultaneously a Top Alchemist, for that bit of spirit, to help them break through the existing technological barriers and create more advanced products."

"Therefore, Kent received a high level of authority from Ava, allowing him to move freely within Eden and access various resources at will."

"Kent spent nearly two hundred years in Eden. With Ava’s assistance, he researched many things that mecha were unable to make."

"Everything was developing in a good direction, and I even could feel that Ava’s personality was quietly changing, becoming more tolerant and merciful towards living creatures. It was under these circumstances that I was fortunate enough to be released and see the light of day again."

"But the good times didn’t last long. After two hundred years, bad news came. Another new race silently perished. When the last of the panda people were integrated into Eden, everyone knew that the Fools had failed."

"Somebody broke into the World-Creating Mountain but failed to close the cycle of the Great Cataclysm; instead, they accelerated the extinction rate of the races."

"From then on, Ava confirmed that the Fool’s plan could not succeed. Kent and Ava had many arguments, and Ava placed Kent under house arrest, waiting for the Fool’s ultimate fate to unfold."

"While Kent used something he invented in secret to evade Ava’s surveillance, found me, and hoped I would help him escape from Eden. At that time, I had already lost trust in the mecha during a long hibernation. So we hit it off immediately..."

"We found an Origin Battle Armor, drove the armor to fend off all pursuers, and escaped from Eden... You all know what happened afterward. I couldn’t leave and had to temporarily find shelter here, while Kent took the Mechanical Heart to lead away the pursuers and never returned..."

After Taurus finished speaking, Mu You and the Medicinal Plant Gatherer exchanged glances.

Mu You suddenly asked: "Did you just say that you escaped from underground driving a battle armor?"

"Yes, a battle armor named ’Black Angel’, which may also be the only Origin Battle Armor that has been preserved relatively intact," Taurus said.

One could easily guess that after they escaped with the Mechanical Heart, Ava would have destroyed all other armors. Because the two of them might return at any time, and those Origin Battle Armors would become accomplices of living beings. With Ava’s rationality and decisiveness, destroying the other armors was almost an inevitable choice.

"Where is that armor now?" Mu You asked.

"Come with me..." the woman said, then floated up from the throne to lead the way.

The two followed her, walking out of this segment of the Underground Palace. Demons and profound creatures along the way looked at the three of them with awe, keeping their distance.

Following Taurus through narrow crevices in the mountain ravine for a while, they finally entered another slightly larger cavern space.

This cavern was enveloped by a spherical barrier, and until seeing this place with their own eyes, even Mu You’s ’hyper sense’ had not detected that there was a hidden space here.

However, the barrier seemed to only serve as a screen and not a blockage, allowing the three to pass through without hindrance.

Upon entering the cavern, the two immediately noticed the human-shaped battle armor placed on the rock wall in the depths of the cavern.

The entire armor was black, with a circle of black halo above its head, and a pair of huge mechanical wings stretched out from its back, the tips of which shimmered with a cold light reminiscent of the sharp chill of night. The body of the armor was made from an unknown black metal, looking indestructible, filled with a sense of solidity and mystery.

On the head of the armor, a pair of sharp black horns curled upwards, as if challenging the sky, while the face was covered by a complex black mask, inlaid with dark metal plates reflecting purplish-blue glints in the light, making the whole armor appear more mysterious and dangerous.

The body of the armor was designed to be slender yet powerful, with each piece of armor overlapping like scales, revealing complex patterns and symbols on the surface. Between the scales, there was a faint red glow, like smoldering embers burning within.

The most striking feature was the wide black wings on the back with only one side remaining; each wing composed of numerous fine metallic pieces, the edges as sharp as blades, layered like feathers, revealing the intricate mechanical structures at their roots.

The only regret was that these wings, full of killing intent, now only had one side left, and even that was too damaged to bear looking at, obviously incapable of unfurling anymore.
