Chapter 802 The Girl and the Unfinished Painting
At the time when Pulin was attacked, the Fifth Fleet was also experiencing fierce internal strife and mutiny.
Several high-ranking generals of the fleet died in the room due to an accident, and the remaining generals were also attacked. Seven people died on the spot and only two survived.
"Damn it, this is definitely a mutiny." The general who reacted immediately ordered people to block the area inside the starship, but the communication channel was closed at this moment, and he could not contact any of his subordinates. There were only two remaining guards around him.
There were only a handful of forces that could plan such a large-scale rebellion in the Fifth Fleet, and after the management of the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" faction over the years, the opposition and hostile factions had long been suppressed and could not raise their heads. How could they have such a great energy to instigate and mutiny.
"It must be the Star Children. I have said that those guys are not trustworthy." The surviving general gritted his teeth, but it was far from safe at this moment. The room they were hiding in had been locked, and a group of self-disciplined defense units were driving rapidly in the passage and gathering here.
Most of the soldiers and officers in the starship knew the general. If they were ordered to attack rashly, it would only expose the plan. However, these self-disciplined defense units were different. They could execute the plan unconditionally through remote control by the Star Children.
After turning through the narrow passage in the starship, these six-wheel drive defense units arrived at the place where the general was hiding. The barrels of the arms on both sides opened, and dense bullets were fired, hitting the closed doors and walls, leaving pits and sparks. At this time, the general hiding inside was extremely grateful for the new era of material technology, which made the structure inside the starship particularly tough and not penetrated by bullets.
However, this could not last long. When these defense units approached, their arms switched to high-wave vibration blades and began to cut the walls and doors.
"Hold on, as long as they can't kill us in a short time, the soldiers on the starship will find something wrong sooner or later." The general encouraged his companions beside him.
After 17 seconds, the door was broken open, and these self-disciplined defense units rushed into the room. The first three units were pierced through the joints by the long-prepared electromagnetic rifles as soon as they entered the door. Sparks flew on the ground, and the barrels on their arms shot randomly.
The following few units continued to advance and swarmed into the room. At this time, the three people who stayed behind were obviously not energetic enough and could not quickly kill these autonomous units.
The hard battle began.
Seeing the defense unit break through the obstacles, the three had to take out their lightsabers for close combat, but in the narrow space, they had to resist close-range attacks and guard against continuous bullets. The three were obviously a little exhausted.
In order to win as much as possible in the fierce battle, the three had to exchange injuries for kills, get rid of the close defense units as soon as possible, and then inject themselves with healing drugs in the short gap.
"They are limited in number. If you continue to recruit them, it will trigger the discovery of the crew on the starship." The general encouraged the two guards again. At this time, there were already several deep wounds on his shoulders that could be seen to the bone, and a lot of blood oozed out every time he moved.
"Sir, you can't die." A guard hurriedly sprayed his wound with hemostatic spray.
If the general died, their sacrifice would be in vain, and no one would overturn the case and provide pensions in the future.
"Don't worry, I can hold on." The general bared his teeth and continued to shoot, piercing the joints of the attacking defense unit and causing it to fall to the ground.
"The only thing to be thankful for is that the high-level mechanical units on the starship have been upgraded. The AI systems they carry have a certain degree of autonomous judgment and are difficult to control. Otherwise, we would all be dead here."
"This technology was originally used to prevent hackers from hacking into the battle, but it saved us this time." The general breathed a sigh of relief.
These autonomous units are only level 3-4 at the moment, and their combat effectiveness is limited. Even if there are a large number of them, it will be difficult to kill them in a short time. But if they are replaced with those killing machine-like sequence 6 mechanical units, it will not be the same.

In the Aijaka cyberspace, the Seven Sages Council, internal strife and rebellion are also taking place here.
In the huge space, countless information flows shuttled through it. At this moment, it was divided into two camps with dense stars. One side was led by many vague human figures. They were the middle and senior leaders of the Seven Sages Council and the backbone of the Sons of the Stars. Now they were the ones who started the rebellion, while the other side was the original Seven Sages Council with the silver mechanical puppet as the core.
"Silver and Green, as a member of the Sons of the Stars and a new generation representative of the Seven Sages Council, you should stand on our side. Why are you still stubborn!"
"Negative, you have not shown the intention of cooperation. This is a lie." A cold mechanical synthesized voice came out of the puppet.
Indeed, opposing the leadership of Hui Fangyan was the reason, and seizing the power of the Seven Sages Council was also the inducement. Not everyone was purely for ideals. Many of the people who launched the rebellion were people who were eager to gain further status and power.
"It's useless to say more. As the designated successor of Hui Fangyan, you can't escape the reckoning." Seeing that they couldn't convince the silver and green mechanical puppet, they stopped arguing and simply launched an attack.
Many targeted virus spells were activated, turning into blood-red spear blades in the Aigeka space, tearing the spatial structure and rushing towards the puppet surrounded by stars.
Countless grids formed in the space around the puppet, but these could not stop the blood-red spear blades that had been planned for a long time. They easily broke through the defense and then inserted into the silver mechanical puppet, just like they did to Hui Fangyan before.
Seeing that the puppet that had become a hedgehog was motionless, the besieged group showed excitement. It seemed that no one could stop them from seizing the power of the Seven Sages Council, but soon they could not laugh anymore.
The static mechanical puppet suddenly exploded, shattering the blood-red spear blades around it. At the same time, a black silent area spread from the core area of the explosion. Everything affected was still in the air. The blood-red fragments, cracked mechanical fragments, free electric sparks, etc., all hung in the air like static paintings.
Unexpected emotions spread among the vague humanoids, and then slender mechanical claws stretched out from the black silent area, grabbing the blood-red fragments that were still in the air, and then the light blue brilliance kept flowing.
'Analysis of the technique...'
'The principle of the composition is clarified...'
'Reverse compilation is in progress...'
'Analysis is completed, and the technique is activated...'
These mechanical claws released the blood-red fragments they grabbed, and then opened their palms, and then gave birth to bright blue light circles, and more and more.
"What is this?" Many of the vague humanoids who started the rebellion at the scene were surprised.
Without explaining the principle, these bright blue light circles started with a buzzing sound and rushed towards the rebellious groups. In resistance, they also projected the corrosive virus red guns again.
The blood-red spear blades tore through the Aijaka space, stabbing at the opposite side like lightning, but once they encountered these bright blue light circles, they were twisted into a twist like encountering an unknown vortex, and then they tied themselves up and fell from the air.
After that, these light circles continued to rush towards the group that initiated the rebellion, interfering with their consciousness in the Aijaka space, making them trance-like and twisted, and finally lost contact one by one, turning into phantoms and dissipating.
Did they win, the silver-green puppet in the Aijaka space thought silently.
No, they didn't.
It was the Star Children Alliance that was dissatisfied and initiated the coup, and the people inside the Seven Sages Council were only a small part of them. Although the Seven Sages Council had always been the brain of the Star Children Alliance in the past, now that the limbs and body were dissatisfied, the brain was the traitor.
At this point, the Seven Sages Council could no longer control the entire Star Children Alliance as it did in the past.
In order to protect the lives of the Seven Sages Council and some members of the Star Children Alliance, she decided to shut down the system of the Seven Sages Council.
There may be a time to restart in the future, but it would only be more dangerous to keep the Seven Sages Council in existence now.
Almost instantly, the Federation's Aigeka network experienced a slight fluctuation, and some unknown information channels and windows were completely closed, cutting off the possibility of tracking and tracing.
Inside the starships of the Fifth Fleet, those self-disciplined defense units that were originally attacking frantically suddenly became dull, and no more support was added later. Although it was unknown what accident had happened, it was a great thing for the general who was about to give up.
A few minutes later, the broken communication was restored again, and the civil strife of the Fifth Fleet began to face a reckoning.
Even though the Fifth Fleet was rebuilt by the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction, the Fire Lotus faction was so strong that they occupied a large number of positions in it. In this case, even if the Son of the Star had a deliberate purge, it would not be able to remove the personnel of the Fire Lotus faction in a short time.
When they could not quickly control the situation, the members of the Fire Lotus faction who had been stunned before began to react quickly.
"This is definitely a rebellion. We must immediately clear out the members of the Sons of the Star in the fleet." The only surviving general gave a speech with bandages.
"The only thing we are worried about now is the safety of His Highness Pulin." Someone said worriedly. "
Since they launched a rebellion, His Highness Pulin must be the target."
"Where is His Highness now?" Someone asked anxiously.
"Her Highness went down to the living planet with Lord Tilan before, and their movements have been monitored confidentially by the Fenxin Department." The maid who took care of Pulin's daily life answered.
"It doesn't matter. Where is she now!?"
"Now..." One person gritted his teeth and answered.
"His Highness was attacked and was pierced and evaporated by an unknown mecha ambushed on the ground, but!"
"I don't know what special secret technique Lord Tilan used to save His Highness. According to the blurry satellite images, His Highness still has a glimmer of hope."
"A glimmer of hope..." Many people present chewed on this sentence.
"The mecha driven by Lord Tilan is breaking through the atmosphere. We are about to welcome His Highness back."
"Closely monitor all situations outside the starport and the planet, and notify the main control AI to temporarily lock the weapon systems of all warships to prevent accidents." The general immediately ordered.
Now they are not sure whether there are any remaining members of the Star Children. After all, the Star Children have a great advantage in intelligence.
"In addition, send the most loyal team to escort Lord Tilan and send His Highness back."
"Yes!"
In the starport, the Fifth Fleet began to act. Although the personnel of the Fire Lotus faction reacted, some warships, led by some members of the Star Children who had been planning for a long time, left the team and aimed their guns at the mecha that flew out of the planet.
The dazzling main guns brushed against the mecha and bombarded it. Of course, this was not their kindness, but the mecha avoided it with its extremely high mobility and its own subspace shuttle ability.
Soon, the Fifth Fleet began to exchange fire. The warship that had just been shelling was fired upon by other warships. After that, several more attacks occurred. Each time, the white mecha narrowly survived the attack, and the warship that launched the attack was quickly fired upon by other warships.
Finally, the mecha entered the starport in space. At this time, the Fenxin Department's guards, who had been waiting for a long time, gathered around and protected Tilan.
"Please follow us, Lord Tilan." A female officer led Tilan and took her to the medical center in the starport.
"We need to examine and treat His Highness Pulin immediately." After arriving, she and a group of members of the Fire Lotus faction looked at Tilan.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, but I'll also stay by the side to prevent accidents." Not only was the Fire Lotus faction worried about accidents, she was also worried.
Tilan's request triggered a brief discussion, and soon the leading members of the Fire Lotus faction reached a consensus.
"Okay, you can stay by the side." Since Tilan sent Pulin back safely, she was trustworthy.
Medical examinations were quickly carried out, and several master-level professional doctors began to rescue and treat Pulin.
Sitting beside the ward, Tilan gently supported her forehead with one hand, and began to sort out the more chaotic memories in her mind.
Now she may not be called Tilan, but the personality of Themisia and Heshia fused together, but because Heshia's spiritual consciousness is stronger after awakening, Heshia is the main one. After all, Themisia only had 18 years of life, and Heshia has experienced more years.
It's a bit messy, and my sister's experience back then was also very ordinary.
In the past, Tilan had a special expectation and fantasy about Themisia's life, which was probably always better than imagined, but when she really understood Themisia's short life now, she found that the facts were not as magical as she imagined.
People always magnify things they don't understand and admire in their fantasies until one day they really understand the situation and then they will disenchant it.
The worries in the past did not come true. Even after the fusion, her personality did not change much. Perhaps it was because Heshia's personality had developed to the point where she no longer had many weaknesses. When the last bit of hesitation disappeared, she was able to face everything calmly. After
sorting out Themisia's memories, Heshia noticed that there were other unfamiliar memories in her mind. These were obviously not from the two sisters, but more like fragments of time that had been wandering in the galaxy for a long time.
The sources of these fragments of time were varied. They might be the intense emotional shocks of a large number of intelligent life in a certain area, or they might be left on an ancient object, preserving some images of the object's experience, just like the ancient mecha she saw in the northern part of the Emerald Skirt.
These fragments of time were scattered from the end of the Fifth Era to the present. Although they were scattered, they vaguely pieced together the various changes since the establishment of the Federation, as well as the scenes of the conquest between the dark suns at the end of the Fifth Era.
In this way, the Pi Mechanical Council was actually successful. The members of the Council had already mastered the power of the Dark Sun and defeated many other Dark Suns with it, firmly occupying a place in the Milky Way. If they continue to cultivate new Dark Suns over time, they can probably form a new Mechanical Council with multiple Dark Suns as the core.
But such a plan was rejected by Hefassimus, who did not think it was the right way out.
After becoming a Dark Sun, although they still retain their past memories and mentality, as time goes by, the humanity in the Dark Sun's personality will dissipate little by little until it completely transforms into a truly indifferent and ruthless god.
Such a thing is inevitable. Humanity is born and cultivated in the form of human beings in human social life. If it leaves such an environment, it will become another creature sooner or later, just like a fish leaving the water.
There is nothing wrong with becoming another creature for an individual, but for a civilization as a whole, it is equivalent to suicide.
After the fifth era of the dark sun's path appeared, it continued to evolve iteratively, and the final destination was that a small number of dark sun individuals would replace billions of humans and become the main body of civilization. Even if there were still hundreds of billions of new races of dependents, life without self would be no different from tools, and there would be no new changes, and no new things would be born.
Such an ending was obviously wrong, so Hefasim stopped at the last moment.
But at this point, there was no turning back, and he was not sure whether future humans could find a better path to evolution, so he packed up the many powers he had obtained, made an agreement with Loranxia, and gave it to time a thousand years later to judge.
If this era is still corrupt and there is no hope, then restart everything and return to the era led by many suns.
If the humans of this era hand in a satisfactory answer, then Heshia will also be a gift for the new era. She will use her power to bring a new upgrade to this era.
"But the current era is neither so desperate nor so beautiful." The girl replied softly.
"But let me try it, try to change it in my own way."
"Just like constantly perfecting an unfinished painting, painting my own colors and lines on it."
