Chapter 784 is Seymour
Mamehe is very disappointed to learn that Seymour has only just woken up, and before that he was just playing a pre-configured automatic response.
The years she had spent with Seymour as a family, the days she had talked with him, the words he had said in praise of her paintings.
So it's just... canned responses? All just... pre-written lines?
Mamehe was sad but still strong enough to ask Seymour.
Seymour: "Ms. Mamehe. During the previous dormant phase, my interactions with you were all achieved by playing pre-configured responses."
Mamehe huddled up dejectedly, not wanting her friends and Seymour to see her crying.
"Because running the natural language processing unit consumes a lot of energy. In order to avoid a complete shutdown when the energy supply cannot be guaranteed, my logic unit proactively shuts down the module."
"However, my visual processing module and intelligence processing module have not been shut down, and my memory unit still contains all the paintings you showed me."
Sue: "That means it was the real Seymour who was with Mamehe the whole time! He also always remembered every moment he spent with Mamehe."
Mamehe raised her head and looked at Seymour with bright eyes.
Seymour continued, “I can recognize over 103,900 different art styles, and none of them match the style of your paintings.”
"I can therefore reasonably infer that your painting is of unprecedented artistic value. Allow me to add to this, which I failed to mention in my pre-configured response."
Mamehe was overjoyed!
A few unhappy things happened today, but then a lot of happy and joyful things happened!
Mamehe picked herself up and decided to collect paint again to paint the most attentive portrait of the Traveling Group.
The entire Erinus Cave suddenly shook, and Su and Kong heard the sound again, this time it was screaming.
Seymour's long pipe tail stood up and entered combat mode. "Warning. A sharp increase in environmental pollution has been detected. For your physical and mental health, please leave here as soon as possible to avoid irreversible damage."
"What?" Paimon was at a loss as to what to do after the unexpected events that happened today. "What on earth is going on?"
Mamehe, whose tail was trembling with fear, suddenly calmed down because she heard her father's instructions again, "Father said... the situation is very dangerous and we need to hurry... please help me..."
Mamehe's brave friends and Seymour readily accepted her request for help and headed towards a warm place again.
"Beast Hound?!" Paimon showed a shocked expression as he looked at the large group of abyss monsters destroying everything in front of him.
What on earth was going on today? Accidents happened one after another! It felt like they had stumbled into a conspiracy.
Sora highly doubts Jacob, but the priority right now is to get rid of these abyss monsters first.
Su and Sora had always been efficient in dealing with monsters, but Seymour had also shown incredible power against his foes, far surpassing any clockwork device they had seen recently.
After dealing with the Beast Realm Hound, the shaking of the cave still did not stop.
The screams that Su and Kong heard became louder and more frequent, and Mamehe's condition also became worse.
Mamehe seemed to be in great pain both physically and mentally. She curled up into a ball and trembled constantly. "It hurts... It hurts... Father..."
Seymour wanted to carry Mamehe on his back. "My logic circuit does not recommend staying here for long. Please allow me to accompany you back to a safe place. The pollution index here has far exceeded the maximum threshold that the human body can withstand."
Paimon was very worried, "Mamehe are you okay? You can't go any deeper!"
"It's very painful. I've never felt this way before..." Mamehe stood up trembling, "But I have to go, because... my father must be in more pain than me..."
Seeing Mamehe's persistence, Su put on the Jade Shield and Cat Ball for everyone, "Let's fight quickly and decisively!"
A group of people quickly rushed to a warm place. The most important thing in this cave was a huge fossilized heart.
The Baptist of Deep Sin transmitted the power of the abyss to the petrified heart. The gray color faded away little by little, and the fossil heart gradually turned scarlet.
"Stop!" Kong knew very well what kind of catastrophe the entire Fontaine would encounter if Erinas was successfully resurrected, so he pierced the vest of the Deep Sin Baptist with his sword without mercy.
The Deep Sin Baptist paused the ritual and turned to defend himself, "You have repeatedly obstructed me..."
Paimon recognized the Deep Sin Baptist's other identity from his voice, "Jacob?!"
"Damn it! There's another guy who can transform into a human form! Wherever there are bad things, your Abyss Cult is always there!"
"The Abyss Cult?" Jacob sneered disdainfully, "Please don't compare me with those dark and foolish people."
"They are no different from the oppressors on high. What they seek is only the power that only a few can use. What we seek is true equality and the liberation of the will."
He who is free from the defects of weak consciousness yields neither to the gods nor to death.
If possible, he did not want to fight with the Traveler Squad because that would cause him unnecessary consumption and losses.
He must conserve enough strength until the final great task is accomplished.
"Don't worry, I don't intend to revive Erinus. I just need to stimulate the heart's activity in order to obtain enough blood."
"This is an operation that requires concentration and precision. For the sake of everyone, could you please stop interfering with me?"
"I don't believe you! I'll beat you to death!" Su raised his hand and fired an elemental bullet directly at Jacob's head. He quickly opened a space rift and summoned a beast hound to die in his place.
Seeing that negotiation was impossible, Jacob opened the space rift to the maximum and summoned an endless supply of beast hounds, using dangerous beast tides to fight against the traveler group.
Sue picked up Mamehe and threw her onto Seymour's back, "Take her away!"
The Beast Realm Hound can attack Mamehe behind the shield, and even if the Cat Ball has powerful healing abilities, there is no way to heal him if he dies!
Seymour is in even more danger, as the Cat Ball cannot provide healing to Clockwork.
Seymour, who was carrying Mamehe, did not leave but continued to fight the beast tide. "I'm sorry, my mission is to protect. I will not leave everyone who needs protection until all the danger signals are eliminated."
Su wanted to curse, "Damn the Guardian Agreement!" And this clockwork dog with poor judgment! Rather than being protected, what she needed more was not to be held back!
Jacob was angered by Seymour's "mission to protect". "Just you? Soulless scrap metal!"
"At that time, you failed to fulfill your mission to protect Marianne, and now, you will only experience your own incompetence once again!"
"Mary...Ann?" Seymour's function seemed to be disturbed by this name.
Su, who was fighting the Beast Realm Hound, really wanted to curse, "Don't crash at the critical moment!"
Without waiting for Su to rush over, the experienced Kong made a quick decision and used a wild star to cover Seymour and Mamehe.
