Hum!
Within the Mechanism Angel's light ball, vibrations echoed, as if expressing dissatisfaction with Henry Wu's presumptuous decision. Clearly, as long as she was born, Gary Smith was bound to die.
But faced with Henry Wu's pleading gaze, it did not continue to object. The radiance dimmed, seemingly in assent.
Mechanism Angels disdain lying. As long as Gary Smith submitted, she could agree to forgive and forget all past transgressions.
"Thank you."
Henry Wu smiled in relief and said, "Gary Smith, the beings of this world have been fragmented for too long. They need to embrace the sacred mechanical evolution, move towards wholeness, and forge an eternal and splendid Brass World free of internal strife.
By then, everyone will be perfected by Shimmering Oil, becoming special mechanical life forms, attaining eternal life, merely needing to replace parts to keep living. Memories would upload to the data network, completely erasing the shadow of death.
