Chapter 293 Resolving Future Problems
Sizzle—!
Loshia did not stop attacking. With each swing of her greatsword, the mechanical overlord's other mechanical arm and all its weapons were shattered, leaving only its upper body, which was originally made up of the Star Fortress.
Jiang Yan then slowly called out, "Stop."
Although there was a contract in place, the witness was too weak to instantly kill the other party.
It would be more reassuring to eliminate all possible threats while Losia's condition is still stable.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Losia gladly discarded her weapon and flew back to her divine kingdom.
"Holy Lord, this guy is pretty tough, especially that iron lump on his chest. We've been trying to smash it for ages but haven't been able to break it."
"That's where the core database of the Mechanical Overlord is located. Even a scrap of paint from that area could be used to forge a common artifact. How could it not be durable?"
Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, let's go take a look."
After offering a few words of encouragement, Jiang Yan led the group to the mechanical overlord, which resembled a pile of broken pieces.
It is rapidly folding around some repair robots to fix the damaged parts of its body.
“You win. According to the contract, I will provide you with all the help you need.”
The Mechanical Overlord showed no anger despite his injuries, and spoke in a calm tone.
The tightly closed doors at the chest opened one by one, revealing a technologically advanced corridor.
"Come with me."
A humanoid robot appeared in the metal flow at the entrance. It greeted the group and led them inside.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."
Tinas interrupted, and the Wheel of Fate in her hand evolved, revealing a picture before her eyes.
The image shows a road bathed in holy light.
"How is it?" Jiang Yan glanced at him.
“It’s a smooth road, no danger.” Tinas checked twice more before she felt relieved.
"Hmph, at least it knows what's good for it."
Luo Xiya snorted coldly and ran up to Jiang Yan: "Holy Lord, I will clear the way for you."
Under the protection of the crowd, Jiang Yan followed the guiding robot through layers of barriers to reach the core area.
—It was a world that defies description.
The vast data stream flows like a galaxy, countless pieces of data are piled up and manifested as stars, and lines of unknown code constantly emerge from the void.
The size of the entire space far exceeded Jiang Yan's expectations; even his divine sense could not detect its boundaries.
"No wonder the third emperor said that the Mechanical Overlord could calculate the changes of an entire universe in a microsecond; its own database was comparable to a miniature universe."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but secretly admire him.
He had seen the Star Empire's most advanced AI, the Galaxy-level supercomputer, but its physical form was only the size of a planet, a difference far greater than that between a firefly and the blazing sun.
"Senior, have you finished your studies?"
After examining it for a moment, Jiang Yan took out a silver metal stone and summoned a portrait of the third emperor.
"Huh... Core database number one, your efficiency is even faster than I expected."
Liu Ying reached out and tapped the screen, typing out lines of data, a look of relief appearing on her face:
"Fortunately, I've been staying up late a few nights recently and have made some progress. This little guy has changed quite a bit over so many eras; I almost lost face."
"hehe..."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, but before he could even say something perfunctory, the robot leading the way suddenly jumped up 180 degrees, and even its emotionless voice seemed to have some fluctuation.
"Father God, is that you?!"
"I have long since perished; this is merely a useless photograph."
The third emperor looked at the robot with great interest in the still image: "Quantum cognitive system, emotion simulation unit... wait, they even added an existence meaning algorithm. Why did they add a bunch of things that are dragging us down?"
“Father God, I just want to try to understand your thinking and decisions,” the robot said solemnly.
"Oh? What was the result?"
"Your wisdom is so vast that even the most exhaustive algorithms could not fathom it."
Do mechanical life forms also flatter?
Jiang Yan couldn't help but mentally complain as he looked at the mechanical overlord, who was behaving like a sycophant.
Just a few months ago, this guy came up to him and confidently said things like "Father God is wrong" and "He is no longer suitable to lead us".
Jiang Yan shook his head, about to step forward to interrupt and ask about the important matter.
But then, Liu Ying casually tapped the void a few times, and the entire space suddenly darkened. Even the robot, the incarnation of the Mechanical Overlord, lost its light and became motionless.
"senior..."
Jiang Yan looked puzzled. How could the two of them suddenly start fighting when they were perfectly fine?
"This little guy is trying to outsmart me; he's gone astray."
Liu Ying smiled faintly and said, "I left a total of 1 restriction on Number One. After checking just now, I found that although it seems that only half of it has been cracked, 10 have actually been bypassed. Only one is still effective. It's incredible, truly incredible."
Looks like I'll have to work overtime again.
Liu Ying shook his head slightly: "We must take advantage of this time to remove some of the superfluous and threatening things on it, and only retain pure computing power and necessary functions, so as to avoid any accidents after the fusion and reincarnation."
"How can I cooperate, senior?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan also became serious.
"No need for that, just leave two for me to help out."
Liu Ying said calmly, "Take this time to adjust your condition. After you fuse with the Mechanical Overlord, your divine arts will likely undergo some unpredictable changes. At that time, you will need to deal with them yourself."
"Understood. Death, Assal, and Fatty, you stay here to assist our senior."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three bowed.
Jiang Yan nodded, called out to Liu Ying, and then turned around and said, "The rest of you, come with me."
With that, he walked straight out of the Star Fortress and unfolded his divine kingdom.
"Holy Lord, what should we do now?" Losia asked curiously.
"Go and resolve the potential future problems."
"future trouble?"
"Um."
Jiang Yan said calmly, "Judging from what you just said, Senior, the Mechanical Overlord is only a little bit away from breaking free of control."
"I don't know if it retains any backup consciousness. The only thing I'm sure of is that, given its current growth rate, if we are careless and it escapes into the various realms and finds enough materials to support the backup, it will soon turn into another machine disaster. At that time, even our predecessors may not be able to restrain it."
"Our Lord is wise." Several angels exchanged glances and said with reverence.
"I will later drain the source of this world, at which time the entire universe will be completely destroyed. Each of you will lead an angel legion to destroy all remaining objects one by one, leaving nothing out."
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Watching the others depart to carry out their orders, Jiang Yan's consciousness once again ventured into the Origin Land, releasing a projection of reincarnation to begin devouring everything in its path.
No matter what schemes are left behind, as long as they are all eliminated, all threats will naturally cease to exist.
