Chapter 677 [Master of All Machines, Supreme of Divine Machinery] (2 in 1)
Zuo Xi opened his eyes, and what he saw was the ceiling of the auditorium frozen in ice. He knew this auditorium, having seen it in a PV called "Winter Night Fool Play" in his previous life.
However, the officer was mourning the Witch of Fire who was feared by everyone at that time, and lying in the coffin was the girl named Rosalin Kruschika Lowfat who had burned out the last ray of her life.
And this time... judging from the environment around me, it seemed that the person lying in the coffin was myself.
So during the time when he lost consciousness, that is, was "dead", the body had already been transported back to winter and the funeral had already been held?
How long has it been? Didn't I just separate from Nashida and Ying when I sensed the Queen's call and came back? Why does it look like I have been buried for a long time?
"The mortal has died. At this moment, you will be the zeroth seat. I give you a new name - the Machine God."
He heard the voice of the Queen, and with a thought, his body slowly floated up and slowly floated out of the coffin.
Zuo Xi:?
Did he just fly?
Not sure, looked again - feet weren't touching the ground - they were really flying.
This isn't right. Could it be that Sandoni couldn't resist the urge to modify the device, and added other weird plug-ins while replacing his heart?
How else can we explain that he could fly just by replacing his heart...
Also, what happened to the 12th seat [Mortal]? Why did they suddenly change his seat? Changing the seat is fine, but why did they also change the code name?
[Mechanic God]... This name doesn't sound good. It always reminds him of the God of God. In his mind, he always unconsciously imagines a Kun who plays basketball and wears overalls... Can you change it? This name is too distracting.
However, just as these random thoughts popped up in his head, suddenly a strong emotion seeped out of his body and entered his brain.
For a moment, he seemed to feel the wailing in front of him echoing in his ears, but he did not feel any other emotions except compassion, as if these wailing and mourning were justified...
Then countless memories awakened from his body, and everything that had happened during this period of time was transmitted into his mind from his body's memory, and he understood everything in an instant.
All the doubts in my mind when I was at the World Tree before became clear as if the clouds and fog were cleared away. Many things that I didn’t understand before and many key information that I was missing were also filled in at this moment.
The moment the soul returns to the body, it synchronizes with the sublimated body and together they obtain the status they should have. In this ultimate sublimation, everything seems to be in its hands.
He finally understood where the Queen's new name "Mechanic" came from. Because the faith of the intelligent machines was upgraded, they revered him as the only god of mechanical bodies... hence the name Mechanic.
He also understood his connection with the World Tree, all because of his upgraded status at this moment - a god.
The sense of alienation from the World Tree is due to his original identity - an Adventer.
This is the only point worth noting now, and he is not sure about the reason yet - he still retains the identity of an adventer.
This was not surprising. Even if his heart was given away, it would not affect his identity.
Because he is an Adventer, his heart can give others the identity of a pseudo-Adventer, not because he has that heart, so he is an Adventer.
But that was just what he expected. There was a certain difference between the situation now and what he expected... That was that inside his mechanical heart, there was still the Ice Queen's divine heart.
As mentioned before, the heart is an organ with mysterious significance in Teyvat.
Just like his heart allowed Scaramuzi to obtain the status of an Adventer and thus successfully break away from the World Tree system, now that he has replaced his heart with the Heart of God, he should also be given the status of a Teyvat person.
But he is still an Adventer, and this has not changed at all... Is it because the Heart of God is only used for the initial guidance of faith?
After all, now that he has been upgraded, his faith is no longer absorbed through the Heart of God. To be honest, even if he takes out the Heart of God and returns it to the Queen now, there will be no problem... No, this explanation is still a bit far-fetched.
So the problem lies with the Heart of God? Could it be that this thing... doesn't belong to Teyvat in the first place?
Never mind, this kind of thing is not important. No matter what, it is a blessing to preserve the identity of the Adventer.
Because this identity now has another very important meaning.
In other words, this meaning has always existed, but it can only be manifested now, because now he is both the Adventer and God.
He now has the qualifications to compete for that position in terms of status.
"..."
"..."
"…Ah, sorry, I was just thinking about something."
When he came to his senses, Zuo Xi realized that he and the Queen had been looking at each other in silence.
"?"
Then Zuo Xi saw the Queen's slightly puzzled expression, and he realized that the thoughts in his mind just now were actually just a brief moment.
It seems that after the upgrade, all aspects have been improved drastically... Even the most outstanding aspect of the brain has made a qualitative leap compared to the mortal period.
Now, as long as he wants, he can watch anything or think about anything as if he presses pause.
"It's okay... I've been reborn and become a god... How does it feel?"
Although she didn't understand why Zuo Xi's first words after waking up were that he was still thinking about something, the Ice Queen had long ago decided not to explore the active thinking of this former subordinate.
"It's amazing. The moment my soul and body are united, it seems as if there is nothing in the world that I can't do...Have you ever had this feeling, Queen?"
Zuo Xi placed his right hand in front of his metal heart on his left chest and bowed slightly to the Ice Queen. After all, she was his beloved boss, and she had just given him a promotion.
At this time, you have to be respectful. You can't forget your boss as soon as you become rich... Although his boss is indeed quite Buddhist in management.
But don’t workers hope that their bosses can be more Buddhist?
"No."
The Ice Queen's voice was still as cold as ever, but she still gave Zuo Xi a concise answer to a meaningless, just casual chat topic.
She never felt that she was omnipotent. On the contrary, in these five hundred years, her biggest feeling was that she could do nothing.
Especially five hundred years ago... and the day when Zuo Xi had to sacrifice himself in the face of punishment from heaven.
To be honest but cruel, for her, even if the price is the destruction of the entire Xumi, Zuo Xi will be on the other side of the scale.
In the past, it was because I saw his value, then it was mixed with a little personal emotion, and now it is related to another completely new possibility.
"Oh, Her Majesty is worthy of being Her Majesty, she is so steady."
Zuo Xi flattered him a little, although it seemed that the flattery was more sarcastic.
"You don't need to use that title anymore... You are no longer my subordinate."
It was unclear whether the Queen was steady or not, but she certainly didn't mind Zuo Xi's flattery just now. But she still changed the subject and brought the topic back to business.
The first thing to explain to the other party is his identity.
Strictly speaking, Zuo Xi was no longer her subordinate. As a god, Zuo Xi was already on the same level as her.
"…Just in case, I'd better confirm…I shouldn't have been laid off, right?"
Although he knew what the other party meant, Zuo Xi still couldn't help but feel a little nervous when the Ice Queen said this.
The main reason was that the other person looked like his boss telling him "Don't come to work tomorrow", which made him inevitably think of the possibility of being laid off.
"No."
The Ice Queen shook her head. Even though Zuo Xi was still joking in a nonsensical manner, she still had that calm and cold serious look.
Her Majesty the Queen has always been like this. If Zuo Xi hadn't known that she often secretly watched her live broadcasts, he would have been fooled by her.
"That's good... So now I'm also the god of winter, right? With two kingdoms of gods... Should I hold a press conference or something?"
Zuo Xi shrugged, then looked straight at the face of the Ice Queen that was shrouded in ice mist... Now he was able to see the other person's face clearly through the ice mist.
But he still didn't do it. After all, it would be a bit impolite to the Queen... Oh, now I should call her the Queen, and I don't need to add "Your Majesty".
"..."
Perhaps she sensed Zuo Xi's gaze, the Ice Queen hesitated for a moment, but still waved her hand. Then, the ice mist surrounding her dissipated, and her appearance was exposed to Zuo Xi for the first time.
Zuo Xi was visibly stunned for a moment, it was a face she was extremely familiar with.
Then, something even more surprising happened soon after.
The Ice Queen lifted her skirt and knelt on one knee in front of him.
"Lord of all machines, Lord of divine machinery, great candidate for the throne... I hope you will accept my loyalty and lead us to rebel against the sky."

Starting from this chapter, some settings may inevitably conflict with the original work.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, being backstabbed is the fate of every fan fiction _(:3」∠)_
