Chapter 126 126 The Last Game.
"You don't seem to know me well enough." Ani said.
"I'm sorry." Triss quickly suppressed her doubts and shock. She looked squarely at Annie's current position in the Zerg and was a little puzzled. "You can actually integrate so well with such an exclusive race... Contestant Annie, I admit that you have broken the rules of the hunting game. You have gone from being an object of spectatorship to a very important person that I have to pay attention to."
When she directly said Annie's name, Triss did not even notice any anger on the expression of the information lieutenant behind her. Her adjutant was only slightly surprised, as if he had been vaccinated many times before.
Did she reach an agreement with the Zerg in an open and honest manner? This is even more alarming.
Ani tapped the edge of the table in the headquarters with her finger and smiled. "Did the agent under the Mother Goddess tell you this? The break between humans and intelligent machines will always lead to reconnection under the threat of a stronger third party."
She was not surprised that Sky Technology knew her identity. The Mother Goddess's attention to her must have reached an unprecedented level. Ever since she reached a cooperation with the two people from Red Net, her Minghui Star has also become the target that the Mother Goddess wants to wipe out.
"But you don't trust each other and are always ready to betray your allies. You don't have a fundamentally unified will." Ani said, "Instead of this, why not let me be a fair judge and establish a new order and rules. I can simulate each of your races, and when I am a human, you can also completely treat me as your own."
"...In fact," Triss replied, "people will only panic because of you. They will only think that you are an alien and a foreigner."
"Then how can you be sure that a high-ranking human leader will not be suddenly replaced by me?" Annie snapped her fingers casually, and her appearance changed rapidly, instantly simulating an appearance exactly the same as Triss.
Triss' pupils shrank slightly as she watched "herself" on the screen approaching inch by inch. Her breath blew over like an illusion, giving people the illusion that all the air around them was being snatched away.
"As long as you die, no, whether you are dead or alive, I can destroy your decades-long reputation as the Chief Judge and your achievements overnight, because the authenticity of your identity will always be doubted and feared by everyone." Annie's tone was gentle as she described the most terrifying feature of the mimic beast. "I am no longer a young beast that needs to hide. As long as I meet you - or your subordinate, Chief Judge Triss, you will have no secrets from me."
"..." Triss forgot to breathe at this moment.
The appearance of the "self" in front of him changed, and in an instant he returned to Lin Jiang's appearance. Ani stared at her expressionlessly. Her eyes were not cold, but she just stared at her quietly as if she was staring at a toy.
Triss looked away, her throat choked slightly, and she said, "Who on earth are you..."
"It seems that my mother is not close to humans. You still can't recognize me. It seems that all the information you get comes from the intelligent machines." Ani said, "You are right. The xenophobic races will think that I am an alien and a monster, but I can replace their identities at any time and turn them into excluded 'monsters'. Do you think now that other races have isolated me?"
“Monster,” Triss said. “You are truly a living scourge.”
"That's so cool." Ani suddenly held her cheeks and laughed. She looked at Triss and said, "What you said before - using more benefits for humans to convince me to work for you, I thought about it and I think it's a good idea."
The tone of her conversation changed so quickly that Triss subconsciously thought there was some trap.
"But I'm a hunter, and I really like human hunting games." Ani said, "Let's play this for the last time, just the last time."
"What..." All Triss's preparations for this conversation were thrown out the window. Her plans were completely disrupted.
Annie clicked the button on the light screen.
Ceres invaded the military network of the Fifth Interstellar Legion. Heng and Wu of the Red Network allowed Ceres to use their equipment as a springboard. With the computing power of the super brain, the other light screens in front of Triss were overwritten in a very short time.
Ani's figure appeared on the light screen.
Her other subordinates were also forcibly overwritten. The most effective countermeasure for the human army against the intelligent machines is to shut down the server, but Gu Shen’s server is in the hidden underground area of the Red Network and Minghui Star, and everyone is helpless for a while.
Her figure appeared on everyone's screen.
Prince Lin Jiang. Many people in the human army knew this enemy leader who had caused them so much trouble in recent days.
But this was not enough, the Valley God's overwrite was still extending, breaking through the nearby civilian network and continuing to spread in a viral manner. Her ability was higher than that of ordinary agents, and she quickly crushed the firewall of Agent Nightingale and rushed into the currently open star network again.
The man on the screen stood up.
"Although we have fought each other several times and should be familiar with each other, I have another identity that you should be more familiar with."
She retracted her Zerg mimicry, and under countless horrified gazes, her skin melted like liquid and then solidified again, becoming the most popular image in the hunting live broadcast room, with countless fans in the starry sea.
Even the Fifth Legion has many of her fans. Ani appeared on the screen after a long absence. She put on white gloves and greeted everyone with a smile: "This is the first time I have appeared on the Star Network on such a large scale since the attack of Morning Star. Long time no see."
Her tone was very relaxed.
"Why was she able to...seize the communicator authority...?"
"Ms. Ani?!"
"This Union Marshal who suddenly appeared is actually her. Isn't she a tentacle race? How did she become a Zerg race..."
"Fuck..."
In the underground base of Rednet, Zhang Heng looked at the screen for a while and raised the permission for Gu Shen to pass. The next moment, the Valley God swept through all the surrounding networks, invading ports indiscriminately, and Annie's image forcibly appeared in the streets and alleys.
The screens on Central Street, which had been dark for a long time after the war, lit up again. The unused screens on the tall buildings lit up automatically. The public broadcast of the aerial orbital vehicle was interrupted, and a familiar voice was heard.
"I am only familiar with the rules of the hunting ground, so now I just want to use the rules of the hunting ground to reason with you - just think of this as the last game I play with you."
"But this time, I'm the one who makes the rules." Ani said calmly with a smile.
With her appearance, a large number of new posts broke out in major forums and news exchange centers that are still in operation. This video became the fastest and most unexpected way for ordinary people who knew little about the war to learn about it.
A logo similar to that of a live broadcast room appeared on the screen, but the icon of intelligent life supervision turned into the logo of the Valley God. As the logo rotated, new rules of the game appeared on the light screen.
One after another, strange yet familiar icons and badges appeared like chess pieces on a densely-woven web.
This is a simple star map, which looks more like a board game to ordinary people.
"First, due to historical issues, I would be a natural ally of the Zerg."
As she spoke, the word "+50" appeared on all the Zerg icons on the star map network. Under the calculation of the God of Valley, the combat power of those Zerg legions floated upward, and they gained priority action rights in this game of Henge Universe.
"She treats such a big thing as the rules of the game?" Someone at the new headquarters of the Free Alliance was incredulous and extremely angry. "This is the hunter you trained?! Your cash cow is now going to bite back the entire alliance!"
"She has other intelligent life forms under her command, uncontrolled intelligent life forms... Could she also create intelligent machines?"
"Nightingale is unable to resist. Damn it! Are the Mother Goddess's agents dead? The star map is a secret protected by various organizations, and she just announced it to the public..."
"What do you mean by historical reasons? Why is she an ally of the Zerg?"
All the noise quieted down when Annie said the second sentence, just like boiling water cooling to freezing point in an instant.
Just like what Ani had done before, as long as there was enough deterrent power, no matter how gently or softly she spoke, the entire sea of stars would always listen quietly.
"Second, I can be any one of you." Ani said, "Your allies may not be allies, and your fellow tribesmen may no longer be fellow tribesmen."
On the right side of the light screen, a diamond-shaped game event icon appeared, with the words:
[Eternal Mask: Reduce trust in everyone around you by 30%]
"Third, I will help the weaker party." Ani continued calmly, "After the Zerg regain their former territory in the star sea, I will no longer assist them in attacking other weak races. Because in my heart, each race has its own share of rights. I am a firm believer in racial equality and I love peace."
All the weak, scarce and endangered race areas on the star map are given a protective icon.
"How long will this game last..." Ani thought for a moment and said naturally, "This game will last until you let me administer justice. I hope you can be more polite when you see me. You can call me godmother or Your Majesty."
"By the way," Ani added kindly before ending, "ordinary civilians who are displaced by war can go to this coordinate... My planetary defense force will go there to receive refugees and provide you with clean water, free air, and planetary construction work. If you have given me rewards and gifts in the live broadcast room, you can use the reward records to enter my church. Um... the church provides food and accommodation."
She stated the conditions in a simple manner, and made a heart shape with her two little tentacles. She had just made such fierce, war-like remarks to the leaders of the Free Alliance, and immediately smiled and acted cute: "Come over and pledge your loyalty to me. I love you."
"Your Majesty..." The owner of the online shop selling Ani's peripheral products stared blankly at her image disappearing.
He immediately turned on the communicator and clicked on one of the few forums that could be accessed after the collapse of the Star Network. The discussion above has indeed exploded. Judging from Annie's popularity in the live broadcast room, there are hardly any people who don't know her.
"My tentacle monster babies are going to take over the stars now... Oh my god, aliens are invading... Aliens are adorably invading!"
"Wow, do you really provide food and lodging? But the coordinates are too far away. When will Nibao call me?"
"You are in deep well ice. No matter how good she is, she is still a tentacle monster. Aren't you afraid that she will rule you, exploit you and use you as a slave?"
"Upstairs, I am being ruled by humans now. Being ruled by humans is even more terrifying... Especially being ruled by men. At least the tentacle monster won't suddenly go crazy and rape me... Uh, no way."
"Support Annie for making mistakes to me... Please don't make mistakes to me with pity."
"Is there no one in this building who can analyze the situation normally? Is she going crazy because she hasn't been seen for so long?"
"The supervision icon has reappeared on the Star Network. Hey, the supervision signals from both sides are intermittent. Have they started a fight online?"
"I've never seen anyone other than Skydome Technology able to manipulate the Star Network. How can Annie be so capable?"
"The brutal Zerg marshal that everyone was worried about a while ago turned out to be her... Although I hate bugs, she gave me a heart with her tentacles..."
“It’s so sticky and scary!!!”
"You are so tasteless! Aren't there many distributors of her peripherals in this forum? Get rid of this tasteless guy!"
The online shop owner flipped through the situation analysis of several Internet gurus, then turned his head to glance at the dark mass of mechanical guards outside the clouds.
This is the place where the intelligent machines temporarily rule. The factory on the planet that manufactures mechanical guards operates continuously around the clock. Brand-new attack robots are produced one after another, along with joint factories that mine minerals and synthesize new metals. The entire surface of the planet is filled with thick smoke and the environment is harsh, making it almost unsuitable for the survival of carbon-based organisms.
The Omnics have recently transferred their troops to other places, and the number of guards outside the clouds has decreased.
The shop owner hardened his heart and stuffed all the plush Annie tentacle pendants on the counter into his backpack. He confirmed the itinerary with the smugglers from Rednet and only left a message on the forum:
"I don't care. There's a lot of fighting going on everywhere. I'm going to go and join the fight!"
Attached is a photo of a room full of pink tentacle millets.
