Chapter 1240 Revealing The Truth
-----
"Project New Humanity originally started as our personal project. Something we funded with our own money, and something not even the governments wanted to do on their own."
"It was due to us pushing the idea that it began... And we regret it greatly now."
"We only had good intentions, however. We wanted humanity to evolve and reach new heights. The planet and even the solar system by themselves only have a limited time."
"Once it's all over, humanity will be left behind, and all of its legacy forgotten."
Blake nodded, hearing the Elders on their "younger" selves, before they became ruthless, insane mummies inside of black mechanical coffins.
When they still had some humanity inside of them.
"At first we studied the addition of small cells with animals."
"Rats, insects, fish, mollusks."
"Some showed mutations and became feral creatures and were swiftly disposed."
"Others showed more adaptations, over time, some species of rats could live with the cells inside and give birth to enhanced children."
"The enhanced children continued assimilating the cells, almost creating perfect specimens after some generations..."
"Once we tried it on willing humans, the results were incredible."
"They showed variable shapes and sizes, some became larger or others much smaller." Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
"Some gained incredible physical power, capable of lifting things tens of tons heavy."
"Some awakened psychic abilities, able to lift objects with telekinesis or even speak into people's minds!"
"But at the end..."
Blake glanced at them while squinting his eyes.
"At the end?"
"At the end, several of these people ended turning against us."
"I would gladly take that role," nodded Aurora. "Let's go, Elders. I've always wished to speak a lot of things with you, but I suppose we can do this much later."
"Yes, I suppose we could."
"We are also very interested to finally hold a conversation with a being from another planet that isn't trying to eat us or parasitize us."
"But even then, I suppose it won't be easy for you to ever forgive us for what we did to you, even less in the future we couldn't see."
"You didn't do any of these things," she explained. "You are mere recreations within this Virtual Matrix, the real you have already succumbed to Blake's ability and had become obedient after their greed almost made humanity lose against the Xenoid."
"S-So that's how it is..."
"So we hold no blame despite feeling so guilty?"
"It's certainly strange to learn that we are something of a clone of our former selves, made of data no less."
"Indeed it is, but what else can we do? Instead of falling into despair, there's new purposes for us. If humanity truly survived until the far future, and they're only days from reach their destiny, and the only thing between them and a new home are those aliens, then we must help."
"Yes, Aurora said she could temporarily summon us and our machinery to battle in this future, in the real world. Even if only temporarily, that is enough to give us a new meaning to life."
"The fabricated past helping the true future... Who could have been ever able to imagine that this would be our true destiny?"
The Elders spoke very eloquently and seemed like truly intelligent and intellectual people, wise and understanding of the world, unlike the Elders Blake met, who seemed zealous, greedy, and secretive.
"I suppose I prefer these four old men compared to the other four," Eleanora giggled, crossing her arms. "Isn't that right, master?"
"Yeah, I agree," Blake nodded. "They could be more fit to lead the future humanity, now that I think about it..."
"Even if they're A.I.?" asked Eleanora.
"Yeah, even if they're A.I. I believe they could," nodded Blake.
As they reached the destination, they found themselves surrounded by tens of thousands of humans, part of the people that had been taken away from the cryogenic chambers to begin the entire process of escaping the planet.
"People of Humanity, today, we present to you the Embodiment and the Spirit of the Neutonium Cores, who we believed were sources of power, but that were ultimately living beings of their own. Her name is Aurora, and she speaks for all of them."
Aurora appearance dazzled all people, men and women, as she stepped into the stage to speak, her voice resonating within everyone's minds, gently and calmly.
"Hello, children of humanity."
