Chapter 185: The Real Purpose Number 7 deceived all intelligent life. He wanted to...
It was not an illusion. The fog had indeed thinned a lot, and I could faintly see a slender figure in it, as well as the huge beast standing behind the figure.
The tails of the beast shadows moved without wind, and multiple tails waved in an interlaced manner, and the gilded mist was sucked into the wind stirred up by the tails. The blue sky above the entire Fengshengheli Tower suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds seemed to be about to press down.
The timid ones would tremble with fear at the mere sight of it.
In the center of the stormy black clouds, the giant beast suddenly opened its huge eyes, and a fiery tail was dragged out from the end of its eyes with brilliant golden light, making Nan Qi standing in front of it look like a demon or a god.
The two insects and one intelligent being present were so shocked by the scene that they held their breath, fearing that their breathing would alarm Nan Qi. Nan Qi killed them directly while he was still not fully conscious.
After a long while, he realized that Nan Qi showed no signs of waking up. Then Lunke breathed a sigh of relief: "This is too scary. Is this Nan Qi's true strength? During those training sessions before, he was just playing with us..."
"After all, he's a hero who saved all of humanity." Keppel was also shocked. "With his strength, as long as he's not facing a behemoth like the Empire, no country's military can do anything to him. Even the Empire would have to pay a heavy price to capture him."
O'Connor didn't like what he heard and said, "Right now, your empire is the easiest for him to conquer."
Keppel: “…”
Don't be on the same page as Du Wei.
The eyes of the two insects and one intelligent being were once again focused on Nan Qi in mid-air. As the mist was absorbed by Nan Qi bit by bit, the shadow of the giant beast became more and more solid, and a deep and mysterious aura emanated from its body. The space around it was distorted and deformed, and there was a faint sense of space breaking apart.
"Back off!" Lunk pulled Keppel and O'Connor behind him with one hand each, then took two steps back, his eyes fixed on the air, his mouth busy, "Are you sure the defense system of your broken building can withstand Nan Qi's pressure?"
Lunk frowned, his expression solemn, and spoke rapidly, "Nan Qi's inherent abilities are related to space. Now that he's merged with the Origin, his abilities will only be stronger. He's currently in a coma and can't control his energy at all."
"If this continues, not only your broken building, but the entire black market might be torn to pieces by him!"
Lenk was not exaggerating. He had been fighting outside for many years, and his perception of danger was not comparable to that of the pampered Keppel or someone who had never been to the black market.
In countless life-and-death battles, Lunk has seen space shocks caused by the huge changes in particles caused by the firing of large numbers of weapons.
Just the space shock caused countless lives to disappear.
The situation around Nan Qi was clearly more dangerous than the spatial oscillation. It was unclear whether Nan Qi still had his sanity under control, or whether various variables were still stabilizing, which was why there was no explosion.
But once it breaks out, the entire black market will be buried with it, and they will be torn apart in an instant.
O'Connor's expression was calm, but if you looked closely, you could see a hint of excitement. He pushed away Lunke's hand that was blocking him and took a step forward. His dark blue eyes lit up twice: "Don't worry, Nan Qi will control it."
"How do you know!" Lunke scoffed. "I didn't expect you to be so naive."
O'Connor looked at Lunk kindly and said, "You little kid, I can't explain it to you clearly. I've lived with Nan Qi for so long, I don't understand his strength any better than you do. Besides, this defense system was built by Nan Qi himself, so there won't be any problems."
The words "just a kid" immediately made Lunk roll his eyes. He felt that he and O'Connor had a conflict and they disliked each other.
With a cold snort, he pulled back O'Connor who had walked out of his protection range, and watched the changes around Nan Qi vigilantly. When he was ready for another unusual move, he flew out with the insect and the intelligence.
O'Connor raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling strange.
Is this caring? O'Connor quickly compared Lunk's behavior with the behavioral models in his database and concluded that Lunk did care about him.
He blinked twice, and strings of data appeared and disappeared from O'Connor's eyes, causing his central control system to heat up slightly. His outward appearance was that he stood there like a wooden statue.
Lenk's nerves were all on edge, and his five senses were at their sharpest, so even without looking back, he knew O'Connor's condition.
He cursed softly and raised his voice: "What's going on now? Weren't you quite talkative just now? Now you're mute?"
O'Connor came back to his senses and chuckled softly. He put his hand on Lunk and leaned over to look at him jokingly: "Are all you intelligent creatures so awkward when it comes to caring about others?"
Lunk elbowed O'Connor in return, "Be serious, what's going on with Nan Qi?"
Lunk was extremely anxious. He didn't know what was going on with Bai, and there was a problem with Nan Qi. Add to that the unclear identity of friend or foe with No. 7, and his head was about to explode.
If Prince Keppel hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure and would have confessed to Bai.
I don’t know what’s going on over there with Bai. Before they left, that gang of thieves was restless, and I don’t know when they can go back.
Seeing that Lenk was exhausted and worried, and looked like he was about to give up, Keppel sighed and said, "Please tell me how long it will take for Nan Qi to wake up, and whether he is still in danger."
Facing Keppel, O'Connor was much more serious: "Your Highness, don't worry. The most dangerous time has passed. Now we have entered a stable fusion state. When the fusion is complete, Nan Qi will naturally wake up, and we will know everything."
"What about the Insect King?" Keppel didn't say it clearly.
O'Connor turned serious. "He's really a problem. I heard that the First Consul, Peddie Williams, brought back two materials, one of which was named Infinity."
"Infinity is the material that can shield and destroy the main brain's main system. The Insect King wants to use Infinity to create a central control program board that connects to the main brain system, thereby achieving the purpose of shielding and confusing the main brain."
"He's really crazy." Lunke was shocked. "Isn't he afraid of playing with fire and getting burned? The Empire is the country that relies most on the Mastermind for survival. Isn't he afraid of causing chaos and being invaded by the Star Beast Nation?"
"He's not afraid." Keppel knows his brother best.
Hoover Walker may be crazy, but he never does anything without confidence. Since the infinity material can block the main brain, it can naturally block any intelligent system.
As long as the shielding system is installed in advance, even if the main brain is in chaos, the signals it sends will be shielded by other systems, and it will naturally not fall into chaos and turn against its own bugs.
He whispered this to Lenk, who cursed Hoover Walker through gritted teeth.
"Will Nan Qi still be affected?" After scolding the Insect King, what Lunke cared about most was Nan Qi's safety.
"Don't worry, he's already entered a stable absorption phase and won't be affected anymore." O'Connor looked at Nan Qi, who was standing in the wind in mid-air with his hair already down to his ankles, and raised the corner of his lips. "He must have figured this out long ago, so he left this back-up plan."
Turning to look at Keppel and Lenk, O'Connor smiled slightly: "You are really lucky. Nan Qi has complicated emotions, but he is upright, soft-hearted, and has great love. Otherwise, he would not have to care about you at all."
"The succession of civilizations is nothing more than the tiniest speck of dust in the vast river of time. Whether it's destroyed or restarted, it has nothing to do with him, yet he insists on intervening."
"It has nothing to do with him? How can it have nothing to do with him? He is also in the civilization of this era." Lunk was going crazy. How could he say that he couldn't understand?
"Lunk," Keppel said, "Nanqi is no longer a living being in the traditional sense."
Lunk suddenly became quiet.
Yes, Nan Qi was first a human being, then an energy body condensed from mental power, and Dr. Pansy used intelligent data to reshape the environment in which he could survive.
After the destruction of civilization in the last era, Nan Qi fell into a 280,000-year sleep and was brought back to life by the Zerg. He then acted away from the main brain for tens of thousands of years, eventually separating from his origin and regaining his body.
However, after Nan Qi became a living being of flesh and blood, he was able to integrate the stripped essence and even regain control and dominance over the main brain, and even this world...
Nan Qi is indeed no longer a life in the traditional sense. He can perhaps be called a god.
Gods naturally have no fear of the destruction of civilization or the passage of eras. Time is meaningless to them, and they are infinitely close to immortality.
"Actually, I don't understand." O'Connor turned his head to look at Nan Qi. His inorganic dark blue eyes reflected Nan Qi's godlike figure. He almost murmured, "Why would he help you?"
"You are reckless, cruel, selfish, and despicable, yet you are also innocent, kind, fair, and selfless. Complexly, I feel that lives like yours should not exist. Your existence is destined to bring civilization prosperity, but also to its destruction."
Number Seven had deceived all intelligent life. What he wanted was not the continuation of civilization, but its destruction. O'Connor's expression grew increasingly cold, and Lunk, standing beside him, felt a shudder of fear.
Keppel smiled faintly. "Don't try to scare us with such words. Any creature with the ability to think independently will have the characteristics you describe. It has nothing to do with what kind of intelligent life we are. Even you have considered eliminating us, haven't you?"
O'Connor remained silent, staring intently at Keppel. After a long moment, he said calmly, "You're very brave."
Keppel shook his head. "It's not that I'm brave, it's that the OP understands that if you want world peace, there can be no peace unless there are no living creatures in the world."
"Plants need soil and nutrients to survive, which squeezes out microorganisms. Animals survive by preying on the weak. Strong beasts attack and devour smaller ones, which in turn eat the plants."
"This cycle, through natural selection, will lead to the birth of wisdom. This is the inevitable process of civilization development. There will be detours and mistakes along the way, but that doesn't mean it's unsolvable. Otherwise, Nan Qi wouldn't have to make so many attempts." Keppel looked at O'Connor. "You know more than me, so you'll naturally understand what I'm trying to say."
Of course O'Connor understood that although Keppel seemed to have said so much nonsense, his central idea was only one - don't say we are complicated, intelligence with autonomous consciousness is just as complicated, we all have the same thoughts, so no one should criticize anyone else.
After being bullied both openly and covertly, O'Connor snorted coldly and was completely speechless.
In fact, O'Connor understood this logic, but he just couldn't understand why Nan Qi, who already had them by his side, would take such a risk.
This time, the Insect King failed because of insufficient materials, otherwise the fusion with Nan Qi would most likely fail. The result of failure would be that he would truly disappear into thin air and disappear from this world.
Three hundred thousand years ago, Nan Qi's body was shattered for the sake of a piece of heaven and earth, and he almost disappeared. Three hundred thousand years later, facing the same choice, he still chose to save the world at the cost of possibly another physical shattering and even spiritual annihilation. Is this world really worth his nostalgia?
Although Nan Qi never mentioned the existence of No. 7, the intelligence derived from the main brain will leave a mark deep in the mind after it has independent consciousness.
This mark represents their origin and is also the core of their control. Nan Qi can sense them through the mark, and they can naturally sense Nan Qi's existence through the mark, so they can also sense the existence of Number Seven, who has the same origin as Nan Qi.
Subordinates like them had no idea what No. 7 wanted to do, but they could feel a sense of peace and a sense of tyranny through the brand.
Peaceful is Nanqi, and tyrannical is naturally No. 7.
An intelligent tyranny powerful enough to rival the world, the result can be imagined. He is not a fair judge at all, but a demon who destroys the world.
Number Seven has deceived all intelligent life. What he wants is not the continuation of civilization, but its destruction.
That's why he was influenced by Number Seven and told Keppel and the others, "Without them, the world would be peaceful." It was also because of Nan Qi's peace of mind and his special feelings for Nan Qi that even when Nan Qi was separated from the main brain and his control over them declined, he still chose to help the world that Nan Qi wanted to help.
