Even the seven Temple Knights could not understand what was going on. They only felt that this race was filled with contradictions. They were very strong, but they were also very weak. They could devour everything, absorb the advantages of the enemy, and even have undying bodies. However, they were also very weak. As soon as the central control was destroyed, the entire race would die.
That was what they could not understand the most. As long as they hid the central control, they could be the final victors. Why had they exposed the central control to the enemy?
Wei Huo said, “This race is intelligent.”
The Snake God asked, “Why do you say that? In my opinion, they seem to be acting on instinct.”
The Snake God seemed a little unhappy. He had originally planned to collect one or two samples of this species, but due to the explosion of the central control, this species had completely died.
Wei Huo added, “Their method of communication is different from what we imagined. They don’t know how to speak, nor do they have any body language. They don’t even know how to communicate with mental waves. They only communicate through one way: assimilation.”
Wei Huo pointed ahead, and a metal devil finally appeared in the temple. The metal devil was not dead. When he saw everyone, he lifted his saber and slashed at them, but he was blocked by an invisible wall.
The Snake God was elated. “Is there one left?”
Wei Huo said, “Butler Li, catch the most ferocious beast and the most docile rabbit.”
Butler Li nodded in agreement. Soon, he returned with a rabbit in his left hand. The rabbit was looking around curiously while his right hand was holding a ferocious Giant Tooth Beast. It was a ferocious creature that would attack anyone it encountered and was very similar to the metal devil.
Wei Huo said, “Butler Li, throw the Giant Tooth Beast in.”
Butler Li listened and threw the Giant Tooth Beast into an invisible wall. It was a barrier created by God. One could only enter but not leave.
As soon as the Giant Tooth Beast was thrown in, the metal devil attacked it. The Giant Tooth Beast did not back down and charged forward, but it was killed by the metal devil. However, what happened next was unexpected. The metal devil suddenly changed its appearance and turned into a Metal Tooth Beast. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, wanting to attack other creatures, but it was blocked by an invisible wall.
Upon seeing this, everyone came to a realization. They knew what Wei Huo had meant when he had mentioned assimilation. The metal particles seemed like they would turn into the species they had come into contact with. At the same time, the dead Giant Tooth Beast turned into a Metal Tooth Beast and growled.
Wei Huo said, “Throw the rabbit in.”
Butler Li agreed and threw the rabbit in. Then, the cruelest thing happened. The docile rabbit was instantly torn into pieces by the two Metal Tooth Beasts. The rabbit’s blood splattered and dyed the ground red.
However, the two Metal Tooth Beasts turned into metal rabbits. Even the dead rabbit turned into a lively metal rabbit.
The three rabbits were stuck in the endless wall and did not attack again.
Wei Huo said, “That’s what happens. The metal particles will imitate the species they have come into contact with. If they come into contact with a ferocious species, they will become ferocious. If they come into contact with a docile species, they will become docile. When they encountered the devil race, they were definitely attacked. Then, they simply thought that the attack was a way to show friendliness. That’s why they attacked the devil race. They did not know that killing the enemy was an attack because they had no concept of death.”
Everyone gradually understood what ‘the only way to communicate is through assimilation’ meant.
The Snake God said, “How interesting. If the first species to communicate with this race had been kind, the situation would have been completely different. Perhaps they would not have had any conflicts. Unfortunately, they encountered very aggressive devils. It seems like the puzzle of the metal particles has been solved. However, why did they expose their central control?”
Wei Huo said, “This is a sad race, but it’s also a race filled with goodwill. There’s only one reason they exposed the central control, and that is to express goodwill. Even though they are facing us and we are attacking them, they want to express goodwill and live peacefully with us.”
The others did not understand. Wei Huo added, “The metal particles assimilated our people and studied our thoughts. They wanted to get along with us peacefully, but they did not know how to express themselves or respond to us. That’s why they exposed the central control. However, this shouldn’t be considered exposure. Actually, they wanted to communicate with us through the central control, but we destroyed it.”
As Wei Huo spoke, everyone gradually understood.
The Snake God asked, “Then, was that long war not a real war?”
Wei Huo replied, “That’s the way they learned to express their goodwill. Because they won’t die, they don’t think hurting others is a malicious act.”
The Snake God asked, “So, their attack was also the same?”
Wei Huo replied, “They were expressing their goodwill. They thought they were being kind.”
The Snake God asked, “Will the army attack us later?”
Wei Huo replied, “They are here to communicate with us.”
The Snake God asked, “So their assimilation of our soldiers was the same?”
Wei Huo replied, “It was a wrong judgment. As long as they become like us, they can communicate with us.”
The three metal rabbits in the invisible wall were still jumping around. They did not attack each other. They were just sniffing each other and looking calm.
The Snake God shook his head and said, “It seems like the biggest mistake of this race was encountering the devil race before they encountered us.”
Wei Huo said, “Yes, if we had not added a layer of Godhood Energy to them just now, they would not have been able to break through the central control. Besides, even if the central control is damaged, it will be repaired unless it is attacked by the Rule of Death and the Devouring Rule. These metal particles will not die unless they encounter these Rules.”
A faint sorrow suddenly appeared in the temple. The Gods had not said that they were omniscient. Apart from that, the three Gods had not known that this race was actually a race with unlimited kindness. Gods could also make mistakes. They had not expected a race to be destroyed just like that.
Wei Huo pointed at the invisible wall. The invisible wall disappeared, and the three metal rabbits ran out. They did not attack anyone. They just ran around like rabbits.
Everyone in the temple knew that the three metal rabbits were intelligent. However, they only communicated through assimilation…
