Not only Alderkras, Fafnir and Balalaika sensed the fluctuations coming from far away in space and time, but there were also many great powers in the abyss who were quietly sensing it.
Some turned a deaf ear, some dismissed it, some listened solemnly, and some directly turned their eyes to that distant place.
After all, for them, the owner of this fluctuation is too familiar.
Angel didn't know that there were so many people in the abyss paying attention to Toby. He was currently immersed in the joy of Toby's advancement.
After Toby came out of the cocoon, he still maintained his terrifying snake-bird posture. The first thing he did after coming out was to fly to Angel and Greia, excitedly expressing his joy at being promoted.
It first neighed non-stop in front of the two of them, seeming to describe the mood of promotion. Although Angel and Grea were exposed to the sound of the snake bird for the first time, Toby was familiar with the tone, frequency and pauses.
, making it easy for them to guess what Toby is talking about.
Basically, I am in disbelief and happy.
Toby became more and more excited as he talked. When he got to the back, he turned the snake's head and went to the depths of the void to start tossing. He was not only venting his depression during this period, but also consuming excess energy and getting familiar with this new body.
Angel didn't stop him, but stood by and observed the changes in Toby's strength.
However, Toby obviously hasn't studied his new skills yet. He is just like Xiao who got a new toy, just squealing with excitement.
Angel looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure out anything, so he had to give up. Anyway, there is still a long time to come, and there will always be opportunities to study the power of the snake bird.
When Angel was looking at Toby, he found that Greya beside him had not spoken. When he looked back, he saw that Greya was also looking at Toby. Although her expression was smiling, there was a hint of complexity hidden in her eyes.
Emotions.
"What's wrong?" Angel asked Greya through the psychic tether.
Greya hesitated for a moment and expressed her doubts: "When Toby approached me just now, I seemed to have a familiar feeling."
Greya did not explain specifically what this feeling was, but she summarized it as an aura, which she felt was similar to the internal aura of the legendary monster.
When Toby transformed into a gryphon, he already had a faint aura, but it was far from the legendary monster aura that he felt at the beginning, so Greya didn't delve too deeply into it. But now, after transforming into a snake bird, Toby's
The Qi seems to have also jumped accordingly, becoming more and more consistent with the Qi of the legendary monster.
"As Toby experiences more disasters, the air wings on his body will get closer to that legendary monster until one day."
Toby became it.
Angel understood what Greya had said. The legendary aura that had flashed before, coupled with the similar aura on Toby's body, reminded Greya of the legendary monster, which still made her think
Don't worry.
"Toby is Toby, and it will never change." Angel: "Even if it really goes in the direction you said, it doesn't matter. The future is still far away, and there is enough time to solve it."
As long as there is a problem, there is always a solution.
Greya nodded, "I expect so too."
"Perhaps there is another possibility. Toby's self-awareness may have originally belonged to that legendary monster. However, it has not fully awakened yet." At this time, a voice suddenly reached their ears.
When he looked back, he saw Sanders, dressed in gentleman's uniform, walking towards them elegantly. From his conversation, it was clear that he did not deny that he had just eavesdropped on their conversation in the psychic tether.
"Toby becoming him may be the right path." Sanders slowly said a terrifying guess.
"No, Toby is different!" Greia immediately retorted.
"How do you know it's different? You just got the organs of the legendary monster. You have never been in contact with it, so you don't understand it." Sanders paused: "Of course, this is just a speculation on my part. Maybe there is
There is a high probability that this is a wrong assumption. But since you are already talking about its future, you have to consider this possibility."
"Besides, Greya, you know this yourself. Apart from Toby, have you created any other creatures with self-awareness?"
The answer, no.
With the exception of Toby, Grea has never created another creature with complete self-awareness.
Whether it is the Twisted Bark Protozoa or the Fragmented Mayfly, although they are both products of Greia's creation technique, they are all functional creatures and have no self-awareness.
Sanders' words silenced Greya. As a wizard with rich knowledge, she had done many experiments, and it was almost impossible to break the logical chain. Therefore, she naturally considered what Sanders said.
situation. But it was this situation that was the real source of her uneasiness.
Greya wanted to hide this uneasiness, but in the end, Sanders brought it to the forefront, forcing her to face up to the problem.
During Sanders' conversation with Greia, Angel was also thinking about this issue.
Self-awareness is the most primitive human being and belongs to the desire to satisfy instinct. This is an innate desire. It is in this desire that the framework of consciousness gradually emerges.
Toby's current calamity of five senses is somewhat similar to searching for, or awakening, his true self.
If Sanders is right, Toby's calamity may be about finding the source of his own consciousness. And this source is most likely the legendary monster itself.
"This is just one of all possibilities. The possibility is not high, but as the instructor said, we must face its existence." Angel: "However, even if this possibility is true, it doesn't matter."
Angel's words attracted their attention.
"Complete consciousness possesses more than just a physical self. Its high-level structure also includes emotions, experiences, and subjective emotions affected by objective existence."
"It doesn't matter what it is, Toby is still Toby."
Angel's rhetoric was somewhat idealistic, but I have to say that it poured a spring of fresh water into Greya's restless and dry heart.
Everything has variables, so what if Toby's consciousness is the legendary monster itself? It is it, Toby is still Toby.
Greia, who was still secretly arguing with Sanders, stopped at this time and cast a grateful look at Angel.
"Sometimes I don't know who has lived for hundreds of years." Greya sighed and looked at Angel: "You still see more clearly than me."
They were concerned about Toby's distant and unknown future, while Toby himself was having fun, flying up and down in the void, waving his long tail, like a baby bird that had never experienced flying.
, treating the void as a playground.
While Toby was playing happily, he didn't notice that a crack slowly appeared on one side of the void.
