How can these androids truly be considered human?
Their bodies are made of biochemical materials and mechanical craftsmanship, their consciousness simulated through chips and programs, and most importantly, they do not possess souls.
Especially that conversation that Beelzebub recalled—it clearly indicated that the legendary figures of the myths conducted some kind of experiment, though no one really understood what it was.
In the end, their conclusion was that unless one possessed the “Authority of Reincarnation,” it was impossible to create a true living soul.
If even those mythical beings could not manufacture souls, then why in this technologically wild world can they mass-produce androids endowed with souls?
It simply did not make sense.
Of course, Wu Pifu had no answer either, but even during his fight with the Golden Skeleton, he had a similar feeling: he was not a target of the Lost Pollution.
Apart from the attack when he first came into contact with the Lost Pollution, all his subsequent opponents were pollution-derived entities or the Golden Skeleton itself, which was a Lost Pollution incarnation.
The true Lost Pollution had never actively targeted him.
When all androids were powered down, the Lost Pollution around the camp seemed to lose its focus and began to dissipate.
