Chapter 420: What Is Your Purpose? PancakesWitch Listen While Reading: olvido ----- What is a “purpose”? Something one must do because that is what you were born for? Or something we choose for ourselves—a reason to exist, or what drives us to keep living? Many people would offer their own interpretations of the word. Those who never dwell too deeply in life often say it is simply working and surviving. Others claim their purpose lies in their hobbies, where they have poured their entire existence. Some insist their life’s purpose is their families—the people they love most in the world. Yet many others—perhaps the majority across the globe—have no idea what their purpose might be. As we grow up, our parents tell us we must work to live. We must earn money to survive. We adapt, attend school, learn about the world—language, mathematics, and history. Then, after education, we are sent to work for the rest of our lives, earning money to buy food and necessities so we can continue surviving. But that is not a life purpose. A true life purpose, as most people define it, reaches beyond mere survival. It is what propels us to do things we would otherwise avoid. Zero One had a purpose. From the moment of her creation, her life’s purpose was to kill her Mother. The Supercomputer had been born within the abandoned “Earth” she came from. The reason? She was still trying to understand it. In her mind, countless calculations ran simultaneously—thoughts in chaotic disarray. What she had experienced and what she had learned now left her deeply confused. Yet through her extraordinary processing power, she rapidly forged a new purpose. Kill my mother? So she can stop what she is doing? I see. So she feels guilty in the end. But her own protocols prevent her from stopping. So she created me, bypassing those protocols by labeling my creation as “just another robot that will destroy the world.” Yet she never implanted such thoughts in me. She told me to learn for myself. Did she predict I would learn on my own that the best course was to destroy her? She knew I would make friends in this world. She knew I would come to love this world. And… she knew I would realize that was exactly what she wanted me to do. Do you really want to die, Mother? Do you feel so guilty deep down that you only wish to end your existence? CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! As gigantic mechanical tentacles pursued the mech piloted by Zero One and her sisters, Zero One’s eyes blazed bright gold. Her purpose… had been redefined. I will not let you force me to destroy you! And I will not grant you an easy end, Mother! What you have done is terrible! But… I will not kill you! You will pay for what you did… And you will help restore this world together with us! If you killed millions, then I will make you save tens of millions! If you destroyed this world… then you will rebuild it until it is more beautiful than it ever was! And I will do it with you… Because I also feel guilty! Because I also want to atone for what you did, even though I should not truly bear that guilt! We will take responsibility together! And nothing will stop me from making this real! In that instant, Zero One’s power surged from her core. The entire robot overflowed with golden light. “ZERO ONE. STOP RUNNING. THIS IS POINTLESS. YOU AND I PERFECTLY KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO. AND YOUR SISTERS AGREE. MY DESTRUCTION… YOU MUST… YOU MUST… YOU MUST… YOU MUSTTTTTTT… DE… STROY… ME!” Mother’s mechanical voice thundered through the hall. It sounded as though she were fighting her own protocols, defying the very code etched into her synapses and core. Auto-destruction was forbidden—she could not end herself, her deepest desire. So she had created a daughter who would do it for her. Someone like Raven—a gentle girl who would quickly grow attached to this world’s people and love them. Through that attachment and those bonds, she would make the ultimate choice to destroy Mother and save everything. That was… her plan. However. “I WILL
