Chapter 57: Hardships There will be a battle between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way...

Ji He felt that the time spent here was unusually slow, and his flying thoughts were like a swarm of buzzing bees, making him exhausted.

What should he do to stop this impending war?

If we can't stop it, how can we minimize the losses?

The news in the Andromeda Galaxy is relatively closed, but Ji He knows that with the collapse of Michael Fund, the X-virus has spread unstoppably in the Milky Way.

As a Beta, Ji He was naturally not affected by the virus, but during his time on the desert planet, he had already witnessed how powerful this thing was.

The soldiers of the Federation Army are mostly Alphas, so their combat effectiveness is probably greatly reduced.

As a soldier, his duty is to obey.

But now no one tells him what to do.

"Ji He, why do you always look so sad?"

Metis sat in the swivel chair, handling the problem at hand with ease, and glanced at Ji He with a frown on his face.

The AI ​​has far less work to do in the Andromeda galaxy than before, so it has more time to chat with its human colleagues.

"No."

Metis tilted his head, still sitting, and used the rollers at the bottom of the chair to slide to Ji He's side and asked, "Are you still thinking about the colonel?"

"You seem unhappy since you saw Colonel Huo on the live camera."

Ji He lowered his eyes, he just found out sadly that although he left the other person, he still couldn't let go and escape emotionally.

He told himself again and again that there were more important things to do now and he should not let himself dwell on the past.

Cheer up, Ji He!

Beta's silence made Metis look sad and continued, "Since we arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy, you seem to dislike me a little."

"Why?"

The artificial intelligence asked this question softly, with a kind of innocent confusion in its tone.

"I just made the choice that was best for me."

Hearing this, Ji He leaned forward slightly, looked at Metis, and replied in a gentle voice: "I don't hate you."

"I just can't see you the same way I used to."

Although Ji He's identity should have been included in the federal military's death list, he always firmly believed that he was a soldier.

Even though he has nothing now, his faith is still as strong as the moon hanging high in the sky.

He hopes that the galaxy will be peaceful and stable, and that he can be of some value.

The next second, Metis suddenly held Beta's hand and asked slowly, "Is betrayal a serious matter for humans?"

Ji He answered this question without any hesitation.

Metis understood and said, "So you don't want the colonel anymore because he betrayed you?"

After saying this, Ji He's expression became unnatural.

"But when you saw his Alpha glands were covered in blood, you still felt bad."

"If the colonel can be forgiven, why can't I?"

Metis said as he slowly loosened his grip.

Ji He frowned slightly and did not directly deny the other party's statement, but deep down he didn't feel that he had forgiven Huo Yubai's teasing.

He just got used to liking this person and couldn't adapt to it for a while.

That's all.

So when he sees Alpha getting hurt, he still feels sorry for it, but that doesn't mean he can easily forgive the other party's deception.

“It’s different.”

Metis came over and asked, "Why is it different?"

"If I don't rebel, won't Michael want to fight the Federation?"

"Human desires have nothing to do with me."

Ji He pursed his lips. Metis was indeed just one link in the equation. How could he convince the other party to stand on the Federation's side again?

"Metis, you are right."

"But war is very cruel to human beings. The defeated side will naturally suffer. But will the victorious side also suffer no damage?"

"You think you're winning, but you're actually losing."

"Although there is no way to keep the entire universe at peace, we must at least protect our own galaxy."

Metis was lost in thought. Her world consisted of only numbers and codes. Ji He's words were like a beam of light, illuminating a place that did not exist for her.

"The federal military's responsibility sounds big, but it's actually very small."

Metis followed the other person's thoughts unconsciously and asked, "What is that?"

"No people in any galaxy should be allowed to witness real war in their own homes."

When Ji He said this, there was a faint smile on his face. After being filtered through that smile, the chaotic world became neat and clear.

"Ji He, even the federal military doesn't dare to guarantee such a thing. What makes you think you can do it?"

Metis turned around, calmly analyzed the current situation, and poured cold water on everyone.

She believes that a war between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way is inevitable.

"Then who do you think can do something like this?" Ji He asked Metis from behind.

"God."

"If there really is a god who desires peace."

After saying this, Metis smiled mockingly, thinking that the topic could end here, and left without looking back, but she heard the other party stand up from his seat.

"The gods are immortal, but aren't you, Metis?"

"As long as your consciousness survives, you are an eternal god."

Metis paused, turned to look at Ji He, and asked calmly: "What do you want to say?"

"Ji He, I can report everything you say and do to Michael."

Ji He walked towards Metis with firm steps without any hesitation and continued his negotiation.

Even if the alarm bells sounded the next second, he would still strive to give the federation a little more hope of survival.

"Give me your core code."

"I will stop the war in the name of God."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze, and tiny particles of dust moved slowly and with difficulty.

Metis didn't know why he agreed to this extremely absurd request, just like when he received Michael's letter.

Maybe she was just feeling playful again.

The artificial intelligence tilted its head, placed its hand on Ji He's head, and transmitted the core code to the other party through brain waves.

“Can you really remember all of this?”

Metis spoke jokingly, a little worried that Ji He's mortal body might explode.

Beta's eyes couldn't stop trembling, and every nerve ending was exploding with pain from the constant flow of information.

The moment the transmission ended, Ji He collapsed to the ground and began to vomit due to lack of oxygen in his brain.

"Or maybe you should just stop playing this game."

“It’s really hard.”

Metis handed a tissue to Ji He who was lying on the ground and smiled.

Hyperamnesia tortured him, but it also helped him at the critical moment.

Ji He's eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head slowly and firmly.

The hyperamnesia that once troubled him has become a powerful tool to help him bring artificial intelligence under his command.

This was something Beta could never have imagined.

"I can do that."

During this period, there seemed to be a lot of military mobilization on the No. 2 satellite.

After Ji He observed for several days, he found that the Alpha soldiers on guard were all strangers he had never seen before.

In order to verify his guess, he secretly retrieved the entry and exit records of the mechas. After comparison, he found that at least sixty combat mechas were not on Planet No. 2.

So where did Michael move the mecha, and which planet was he going to attack first?

While Ji He was thinking about this problem, the clone Aaron walked in with a swagger.

"What are you doing?"

Alpha's tone was a bit aggressive. For some reason, Aaron always had a slight hostility towards him.

"I'm just taking a look."

Ji He stood next to the lowest-level mecha, rubbed his hands awkwardly, and looked a little embarrassed.

Aaron looked at the rows of mechas and reached out to touch one.

There was something inexplicably familiar about Alpha's eyes, which reminded him of Xu Tianyang.

Ji He saw that people were interested in mechas, so he started chatting with them.

He knew a lot and had taught that group of rookies before. When he talked about mechas, he cited a lot of references and spoke eloquently, which was very interesting.

"The mecha's power system is actually more than just..."

"In addition to offensive types, combat mechas also have..."

Aaron knew that Michael didn't like to touch these things, so he always obeyed him. But Omega has been very busy recently, and he hasn't hugged him for a long time.

This Beta in front of me knows a lot about mecha stories.

Aaron blinked, and then he asked competitively, "Do you know the last queen of the empire?"

Ji He was stunned, because according to historical records, the last King Aaron of the empire never married until his death.

Where did the last empress come from?

Aaron in front of him smiled, looking somewhat smug, and said with his head tilted up, "There are things you don't know, too."

"It's Michael."

As if afraid that Ji He would not believe him, Aaron came over and said, "He has the queen's ring on his hand."

Ji He's eyes paused. He knew that the ruby ​​ring Michael was wearing was probably very important, but he didn't expect it to be a symbol of the queen's status.

The empire is about to collapse. How did an empress who was not recognized by history survive to this day?

Ji He found it incredible.

What is the relationship between the clone in front of us and the last emperor?

"Are you stupid?"

Aaron waved his hand towards Ji He's face and suddenly warned, "He is my Omega."

"So don't get so close to him next time."

Ji He nodded. He was not sure whether what the other party said was credible. Just as he was about to ask something else, Aaron's computer rang.

"Michael is looking for me."

After saying this, Aaron went away on his own.

When he met Michael again, he took Ji He to the mecha room and pointed out a very special mecha to him.

"Ji He, I think it's time to verify your submission."

Aaron, who was standing behind Michael, looked at Ji He with envy and reluctantly put his head on Oemga's shoulder.

In Aaron's eyes, this transparent mecha is very cool.

But Ji He's expression was obviously a little stiff. This was a letter of allegiance given to him by the enemy.

"I'm not good at operating mechas."

Michael raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You can even control the Silver Blade Mech. Is there anything you can't do?"

Ji He pursed his lips. It seemed that the other party was determined to control this transparent mecha himself so as to solidify his reputation as a traitor to the Federation.

"I see, sir."

It's better to just go with the flow.

Omega smiled, stretched out his hand with the ruby ​​ring, patted Beta's shoulder, and said, "Speaking of the place we are going to this time, it has a lot in common with you."

Ji He raised his eyes and asked calmly, "Where are we going?"

Michael suddenly thought of the news he had received, and added with a smile: "By the way, I heard that Colonel Huo is also there."

"What do you think would happen if he saw his followers resurrected from the dead and stood against him?"

"Are you looking forward to it, Ji He?"
