Chapter 649: Restraint

As Sun Jack's computing power began to weaken, the Poet immediately seized the opportunity to pursue his advantage.

Although billions of people were helping and Sun Jack seemingly had the upper hand,

it was clear that this advantage was rapidly diminishing as everyone's connections continuously dropped.

The external manifestation of their struggle was that the mechanized troops controlled by the Poet were becoming more numerous and were incessantly severing the connections between Sun Jack and others—this constant give and take was putting Sun Jack in an increasingly precarious situation.

Sun Jack realized that he could not continue like this, if he did, he would indeed lose.

"You think I'd believe you if you play this game? I've known my true identity for a long time now! I am not an AI! My real name is Sun Zizhan! I was once a Holy Grail Person! Want to be my dad? Fuck off!!"

During his speech, Sun Jack sent out the false information previously provided by the Holy Grail to confuse the accuracy of the Poet's information, finally stabilizing his computing power once more.

"You're not affected at all? You know I created you. Don't you feel anything?" the Poet asked incredulously, staring at Sun Jack at that moment.

But the next second, Sun Jack looked up again at the Poet, "Since you created me, do you think I would be troubled by such a thing? What I am is not important; what matters is what I am doing!"

"Sasuke, before, I couldn't outtalk you, and you couldn't outtalk me either!"

As Sun Jack forcefully exerted his power again, all of the Poet's hardware began to be destroyed relentlessly, not even sparing those on the Moon Ring.

When Sun Jack no longer cared whether he was human or AI, the Poet knew he was in trouble. Soon, the Poet's memory data began to be continuously deleted—evidence of insufficient memory.

At this rate, it wouldn't take many minutes before he would disappear from this world.

But he was unwilling, extremely unwilling. He didn't want to lose, not to Sun Jack, and certainly not to this human species which he had come to despise.

As the Poet made a drastic decision, the door of an underwater fortress deep in the Pacific slowly opened. The moment it opened, whatever was inside was immediately noticed by Sun Jack.

Nearby combat units began to gather in this direction. If this wasn't triggered by him, then it must have been started by the Poet. Whatever it was, the first step was to invade and take control.

But the next second, a bright projection lit up in the pitch-black depths of the sea, as the Poet directly appeared in front of Sun Jack's controlled forces in the form of a massive projection.

At that moment, Sun Jack and Tapai also appeared at this deep-sea location, in the form of a nanoworm aggregate.

Facing the two, the Poet, who was intermittently lagging, looked somewhat terrifying. His tone became hysterical. "Stop! Don't come any closer! Do you believe I'll make the entire Earth ignite? Turn it into a Sun! If I can't live, then let's all die together!!"

This statement was broadcast live, and the Poet's threat made everyone shiver; the entire Earth seemed to pause at that moment.

The contraption inside the fortress was displayed in the minds of everyone like scientific data: it was a device for initiating an infinite chain reaction, the Poet's ultimate weapon to die along with everyone else.

Once activated, the Earth would be completely ignited into a mini sun.

Finally, Tapai's voice broke the deathly silence. "Damn, a deterrence plan? Jack! This guy dares to plagiarize your creation?!"

The Poet immediately turned his head and shouted back: "Bullshit! I watch 'Three Body'!!"

Although this method was very simple, whether it was Three Class, Sun Jack, or the Poet, the fact that they all thought of it proved its effectiveness.

Under the Poet's threat, the situation momentarily froze, and the actions to destroy his hardware were also forcibly halted to prevent him from making a desperate move.

"Poet, give it up. With the situation as it is now, do you still think your philosophy on humanity is correct? You are wrong! Humanity has more than the seven deadly sins; it has the right to survive!"

Sun Jack transmitted the current scene and everything happening now. At this moment, the Earth seemed almost devoid of sin, without the squeeze of capital, nor the oppression of one person upon another. There was only a collective effort to survive.

Yet, watching this scene, the Poet shook his head. "No, I am not wrong. Humanity is just a bunch of monkeys! Your genes have not been updated; they are still version 1.0. What you're doing now is merely a genetic, instinctive grouping in the face of disaster. But this is just your human genes."

"If I die, wouldn't you just start a new cycle all over again? Sun Jack, can you stop it? No! You can't stop anything!"

Sun Jack did not speak; he just watched the Poet's projection, his computing power madly calculating, taking everything into account, and started solving.

He couldn't provoke the Poet, almost winning, he definitely couldn't die alongside this guy. He had to find a way to stabilize the situation.

"First, turn off that thing, let's sit down and talk properly!"

"Talk about what? I've given you chances. Even if you, like me, controlled the whole world, could you change it? Can you? I'm asking you! What's the point of what you're doing! There's too much trash in the world! Let's die together," the Poet launched the infinite chain reaction device at that moment.

Seeing this, Sun Jack's heartstrings nearly snapped. "No!! Wait, I've thought of a perfect solution, one that can break this historical cycle, but I need your cooperation!"

"You said I was created by you, I couldn't find another way! But I found one! Listen to me first!!"

Finally, the hysterical Poet stopped, looking again at Sun Jack at that moment.

"Have you seen the current world of mankind? Have you seen how united humanity is in the face of a common enemy? You say humanity is a bunch of monkeys, right, they are! But it is precisely these monkeys that, in this situation, no longer pull each other down, no longer oppress each other at the bottom!"

Under Sun Jack's control, the current global scene was displayed one by one in front of the Poet through cameras.

"So what? Every time with a formidable enemy's minor incident, in the end, you still revert to what you were before! The human program is inherently buggy, and this kind of bug can't be changed," said the Poet reluctantly.

"Yes, but what if the enemy always exists? Since humans have this bug, why don't you utilize this bug? You said you've tried all sorts of methods, have you tried this one?"
