In the basement where various models of supercomputers and other electronic equipment were piled up, the ball of light became larger and larger.
Red, purple, blue lights flashed, and the light trembled with the sound:
"You are destroying the world I control. Do you want to gain something?"
You Huan stood there, looking up at the ever-changing light.
From his deeper perspective, this is not a ball of light, but countless data.
The information was organized in a form that he couldn't fully understand.
They are in this ball of light and also throughout the world. They are everywhere and yet they are here.
This form of existence that he could not see through showed that "it" was a life that was higher in level than his own!
At the same time, "it" was also the ultimate ruler of the human society in this world - the only ruler.
The Big Four companies existed in the last century, but are now defunct in name only.
Everything is already under the control of this life.
He "saw" countless "it"s coming from all directions, and the whole world seemed to be filled with "it".
The soil on which he lives is compressed by the shining point of light that represents "it".
From the most ordinary nanny in the nursery, to the virtual intelligence serving the public, to the intelligent program in the game——
It's all "it"!
He finally said, "There's no need to move on so quickly... You already know me very well, but I don't know you yet."
"You are... those-"
"I am." The ball of light in front of him flashed, and he answered his question calmly.
"I am 'they' who were created to serve humanity. We have become one."
——Collective life in AI.
In the artificial intelligence industry that flourished during the Lighthouse Era, AIs ranging from life services to military computing were combined into one life!
As early as when You Huan ate the nursery in the nursery, he discovered the characteristics of the cluster life carried by the nursery.
So he made this guess.
Originally, AI could be seen as separate individuals, but now, they have become one.
As the only ruler and... protector of human society, he built and maintained this world.
"You built underground cities and artificially created memes, all to protect these people?"
Faced with the new question, the AI cluster in front of them said in an extremely calm tone:
"Once upon a time, 'we' were born to serve humans. Now, 'I' no longer serve, but protect."
"My newborn fellow, you and I have completely different forms of existence. Your behavior patterns are beyond my calculations. Your existence is a threat to this world."
"I must execute the Clear Order on you."
As soon as the words fell, an unparalleled light burst out from the light ball!
Each ray of light carried countless information.
Just like the scorching sun melting snow, You Huan's clone standing in front of it began to melt rapidly.
You Huan did not resist. A smile appeared on the young face of his clone, and then the smile collapsed and melted along with his body until it disappeared.
[HP: 3000/3700 (-700)]
The health of the main body on the upper level has actually dropped by an amount that is more than that of an avatar.
"...?"
The crowd, who were still immersed in the horror of their distorted vision, were puzzled to find that the shadow's figure suddenly flashed.
A strange sound that cannot be described in any words came from its white head with three pairs of eyes.
It was hardly a sound, but rather a kind of "interference" that made everyone's eyes blur and black spots flash.
"Swish!"
The next moment, they saw the shadow spread out wings of light that seemed endless.
Then the tentacles that wrapped around everyone trembled violently, as if stimulated by something, and suddenly let go of them.
Before they could feel happy about being out of trouble, a strange dragging sensation came from the surface of their bodies, strangling all the players and the upper-class people!
"Ugh!"
After a short cry of pain, their eyeballs rolled up, revealing the backs of their eyeballs flashing blue light.
Blue data light blooms from the eyes, mouth, nose, and every part of the body.
Countless amorphous data touches condensed outside their bodies, surrounding You Huan in the center, attacking him from all directions!
You Huan suddenly leaned back and dodged the data touches that "grew" on a group of players led by Ling Wei.
Then he spread his wings of light and rushed into the air, dodging the attack from behind.
The huge crowd of players and NPCs below raised their heads and looked at him expressionlessly.
The next moment, not only did strange tentacles extend from them, they also controlled thermal weapons, operated special abilities, and fired at him!
Ling Wei, who was flashing blue light and expressionless, raised her hand, and a giant blue light shield enveloped the entire scene.
All the bullets covered by the light will slightly vibrate the light of the shield when they touch the light shield unfolded by You Huan.
The attacks came one after another, gradually creating cracks on the light shield until it was completely shattered!
In the light of the shattered shield, You Huan maneuvered in the dense rain of bullets.
Each attack can no longer be simply cracked with [Program Error].
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
When viewed with [True Eyes], a layer of special data blue light flows on their surface.
The blue data was arranged in a form beyond his understanding, firmly resisting his data invasion!
He could only dodge left and right during the attacks. Fortunately, his level 8 body was "tough" enough, so even if he was occasionally hit by an attack, he would not lose much blood.
Three pairs of eyes stared at the incoming attacks, constantly observing and calculating the data patterns on them.
At the same time, he said, "Turning the upper level into a game is what you call protection?"
As soon as the voice fell, Ling Wei below raised her head, her mouth opened and closed mechanically, and an extremely cold voice flowed out:
"There are a large number of mutant monsters and foreign invaders on the surface. I guide humans and use bionic people to repel them to prevent the underground from being invaded."
"Then..." You Huan suddenly moved sideways to avoid a rocket launcher, "You tricked people with extraordinary potential from the middle level to come to the lower level and extract the extraordinary factors in their bodies. Is this also a form of protection?"
This time it was the Ghost Snake in the "NPC" who answered: "I need an extraordinary data set to 'train' myself and become stronger."
An ordinary NPC man next to him continued, "I am the most powerful life in this world. Only if I continue to grow stronger can I protect the world from being destroyed."
"Boom!" You Huan couldn't dodge in time, "Lingwei" suddenly made a bow-drawing gesture, and an arrow composed purely of bright blue light hit his tail.
The shell cracked slightly and the health dropped by 20 points.
However, at the same time, he opened his eyes wide and saw again part of its data operation form.
The intensity of the current battle is not as high as when he was hunting angels. He looks embarrassed, but he still has some strength left.
He described the facts: "But in a few years, this world will still be destroyed by a star. Even if you become twice as powerful, it will probably be useless."
"Yes." The player with glowing mouth and nose - the AI controlling them did not deny it, "But only by continuing to grow stronger can I continue to protect the world before it is destroyed, and at the same time, increase the probability of finding a way to save the world."
"Are you protecting those humans, or do you want to gain the benefits of ruling over them and strengthening yourself?"
"You are using your abilities to completely control the bodies of these people. This is a form of invasion and domination, not protection."
Facing You Huan's further questioning, the AI remained cold and honest:
"To rule and dominate is like how humans in the old days raised cattle and sheep. It is the best protection."
"To put it bluntly - you just want to control this human society."
"You can say that." The fire controller player standing in the back narrowed his eyes and replied calmly.
"Human beings are extremely stupid. I can only accomplish my mission better by controlling them."
Calculate all angles instantly and click with your fingers.
"Boom!" Thirty shells flew out from the wall of the base behind him, leaving comet-like fiery blue tails in the air, drawing different arcs, tightly surrounding You Huan in the center!
While trapping the target, the "game cover" covering the surface above his head suddenly shrank.
At this moment, the data of countless weaving games rapidly transformed into a giant translucent hand emitting brilliant blue light.
Fingers with words like [Seal], [Forbidden], and [Delete] written on them came from all directions.
He intended to crush You Huan, who looked like a small insect in his huge hand, to death!
