Chapter 370 The Road to Expedition: The Route of Destiny
Warm reminder, today I have posted all three chapters together, because I feel that the plots of these three chapters are coherent, so I am too lazy to cut them into several chapters, otherwise everyone will have to wait another hour to read them. It's also not good, so I made a super merge chapter that is cool enough. The content is definitely big enough (more than [-] words, I can write it to see the emperor's family for debriefing), and the plot is also very rich and long. If you are tired from reading a long article, it is recommended to take a break to avoid reading fatigue.

PS: Originally this chapter was on the National Day, but WO, well, since it’s all written here, I won’t do such a thing as a two-chapter procrastination, so I should post it in advance to wish everyone Happy National Day, I wish you a happy holiday, and don't forget to vote during the double monthly pass, because that's disloyal!

________________________ (cool shady cutscene)__________________________
Our sacrifices, our thousands of devotions, were only to delay for a moment the destruction that must come.

Sacrifice is the cornerstone of an empire.

——Imperial Proverb

The burning throne was burning in front of Vito, and the psychic flames enveloped its outline, burning the countless energy cables around it and the Imperial Sky Eagle branded on it. Extending above the throne, extending from the burning psychic corpse.

Vito looked at the man sitting on the throne, he stared at Vito with his empty eye sockets that had long since lost his eyes, at Vito on the other side of the sea of ​​psionics, he looked at him, at the man standing in the distance. of Vito.

But the distance between them seems to have not been as far as it used to be. The raging fire in the darkness burned on the throne and his body. The fire light illuminated the darkness between the universe and burned his last remnant body.

He and Vito looked at each other, staring at each other at both ends of the sea of ​​psionic energy, the man on the throne spoke slowly, and the voice penetrated the curtain of soul and psionic energy, echoing in the minds of the men on the coast among.

"You finally understand, where is your position, and now, we will go to eternal calamity together, my brother."

That voice echoed in Vito's mind for a long time, echoing on the soul level, even when Vito opened his eyes and returned to the real world, the voice echoed for a long time.

Vito's fingers caressed the wolf head carving on the armrest. He turned his head slightly and looked at the throne under him. In an instant, the throne seemed to be on fire, and the flame wrapped Vito in it, just like him. , burning himself to illuminate the darkness of the surrounding universe.

Vito sat on the throne, his palms stroked forward a little bit from the end of the armrest of the throne, his palms slid over the cold throne, many memories flooded into his mind, as his fingers moved forward, countless The memories also flashed in front of us one by one like the prologue of the movie.

The cabins by the Aegean Sea, the dawn in Athens, the dusk on the banks of the Tiber River in Rome, the cold wind in Siberia, the magnificent fjords in northern Europe, the bustling night market in Xi'an, and the bright moon in Bianliang.

The sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean, the endless central prairie of America, among the cities rising from the ground, rockets flying to the stars, thousands of warships jumping in the galaxy, countless stars, he saw a building in a city He rose from the ground, watching the high-rise buildings under the dawn, and also watching the dilapidated collapse in the sunset.

What followed was a long winter night, a cold night without stars, a long night of loneliness and loneliness, but in the midst of the night the dawn seemed to shine once again on the dark icefield, from beyond the horizon. Dawn has risen.

When the dawn pierced through the dark night, Vito's fingers also reached the left front of the throne. The small wolf head statue sitting cross-legged on the front side of the silver-white throne, his fingers slipped over the wolf head, Then from its face to the closed mouth.

Vito clasped its upper jaw, then pulled it up sharply, the silver wolf's big mouth opened upwards instantly, and as the wolf's head lifted up, its eyes also flashed light, from the embedded At the pupil of the sculptured eye of the statue, a holographic projection of light shot out from it.

The eyes of the two giant wolf statues behind Vito also shot out the light of holographic images. They converged in front of Vito. The rays of light were mixed with each other and then quickly woven together, as if strips of light were used. The huge capillary picture woven out of silk slowly unfolded in front of Vito.

He looked at the huge holographic interface that quickly emerged and pieced together in front of him. The data stream began to rotate quickly on the image, and the holographic logo of the Lightning Eagle also rotated in the center of the holographic image.

Vito stretched his hand to the armrest of the throne on one side, following the body of his palm, the carving of the little wolf head at the end of the armrest quickly slid upwards, it turned to the back of the armrest along the border of the armrest, and then slid quickly. It stopped forward at the front of Vito's palm, just right where it was within reach.

The wolf head stopped and opened its mouth. It roared and opened its fangs face up, and in the center of its mouth was not a tongue, but a circular disk, a disk with just the right size.

Vito put Helen's disc on top, the edge of the disc just perfectly matched the slot in the wolf's mouth, and the edge of the disc fell from it, followed by the bottom of the disc and the butt point in the disc. After the connection, after a crisp touch and docking sound, the eyes of the wolf head lit up.

Vito leaned on the throne and looked at the holographic projection interface in front of him. His hands were on the armrests on both sides, and his head was raised to look at the interface in front of him, just like a real king sitting on the throne. ,let's start."

Vito said this, in the past, after he gave an order, Helen would execute the order at the speed of light, and the holographic interface in front of him would change, and a large number of windows would appear on it, and more scrolling like a tsunami would appear. Calculating the data array, but now, there is nothing on the interface, only the lone lightning eagle is spinning.

Vito knew why, and he slowly turned his head to look at Helen on the armrest. She was standing in the open mouth of the wolf, facing the interface with her hands behind her back, but her head was lowered.

"Helen? What's wrong?"

"Vito, tell me, you didn't plan to sacrifice yourself when the Emperor left the throne and the end came, did you?" Helen whispered, her back to Vito looking a little lonely.

Vito, who was sitting on the throne, looked at her back, which was composed of particles of light. Of course, she heard the conversation in front of the throne at that time. Vito always took Helen with her, and her CD can be decided by herself. On, or off, so she has experienced everything Vito has experienced.

Lilith always said that she was the one who accompanied Vito and experienced all the stories for thousands of years, but in fact, she was wrong. The person who accompanied Vito and experienced everything was always in his heart, on the small CD. Among them, never leave and forget.

Vito leaned on the throne and sighed for a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the holographic interface in front of him, "I have to let you guys over, when the old bastard leaves the throne, Terra is broken, and Chaos tears the galaxy. From that day on, give you time to hold out until he comes back to life."

"I don't know how long it will take for his resurrection, but I do know that Guilliman alone can't stand it. When the Eye of Terror engulfed the galaxy, the wave of destruction came from the edge of the galaxy with fear. They and Aspen The tarts and mortals can't stop it. Humans need a god to hold up a high wall and stop the tide of destruction, and only I can."

"Vito." Helen turned her back to him and whispered. She didn't call her superior, but called her own name. The name he took leaned on the throne.

He raised his head and looked at the dome of the bridge above his head. On it, countless gems were used to engrave the stars in the sky. It was a disk map of the entire Milky Way. Vito remembered looking at the stars above his head like he did now when he was a child. , that was sitting on the grass and watching, and now, he is sitting on the throne watching the starry sky that has never changed.

"I'm an immortal, Helen, we won't die alone, sleep on a sickbed, I've lived too long, I'm tired, so when the time comes, let me retire Well, let me finally close my eyes and get a good night's sleep."

"After experiencing an epic battle where poets can compose countless songs and stories, let me rest well after ten thousand years of work."

Vito smiled and shrugged, he lowered his eyes to look at Helen on the armrest and smiled, "When you go to the new world, remember to tell the rest of the children that cool scene, let them remember, Vito Constantine's handsome figure and the wonderful stories he has experienced are turning into more stories, passed down through the ages, doesn't it sound good?"

Helen knew what Vito meant, and he wanted to go to the new world alone, just as he told Magnus before, in the core of his personality, stored the technology and knowledge to rebuild the golden age, that knowledge no one can Instead of Helen, the Mechanics of the Empire, or any contemplative calculation program, can't store such a huge amount of data.

And even if there is, it is a storage site of the size of the entire casting world. It cannot be moved at will, but will become a living target, and the emperor's way of overturning must also mean that the entire empire, the vast majority, Even all the data terminals and the data planet are likely to fall into the war of the previous Chaos counterattack and the final restart of the Emperor's galaxy.

Therefore, only Helen, and only Helen, can store those data, only she can rely on her small physique to escape the final storm, and re-germinate the seeds of knowledge and civilization in the new universe created by the Emperor.

She must go to that new world, and Vito will not take her there, the Emperor will take her there, and that means an eternal separation, the ashes of the old world, the farewell to the dawn of the new world, The end of a ballad, and Vito will remain in the old world, incarnate as the finale of that verse.

Vito laughed, but Helen stood on the disc without saying a word, she stood there with her back to Vito in silence, Vito looked at Helen with her head down, she didn't say anything, just Just standing there.

The AI ​​lady stood on the armrest, she stood there with her hands behind her back and her eyes lowered. Helen raised her head and looked at the swirling eagle sign in front of her. She didn't look at her eyes behind her, she just stood there.

"Vito, there is a solution to any predicament. I will bring the pre-calculation at that moment and find the solution. Promise me, don't die until then?"

Vito listened to Helen's voice. There was a slight trembling in her voice. Vito had only seen that emotional change once before. It was during the Iron Man Rebellion, when Helen loaded the system on the Skyblade. Before the final showdown with Red Helen, it was Vito who told her that time.

He wants her to come back alive, he will wait for her, wait for her to come back on the bridge, no matter how long it takes, even if the Sky Blade crashes and explodes, he will be there.

Helen said it was a stupid sacrifice, and she's an AI, Vito doesn't have to do that for himself at all, he can leave, maybe Dr. Casey will give him another great AI, another Helen, exactly the same , so that he would not see the difference.

But Vito refused, and he told Helen at the time that she was unique to herself and that no one could replace her, not anyone, so she was going to come back alive and leave there with him.

And now, the same thing happened again, but this time it was Helen who said it to Vito. She turned her back to the officer who had followed her for ten thousand years, and tightly held the other hand with her back. wrist.

"Promise me, don't do stupid things, no one can take your place, whether in the old world, or in the future, or. To me, humanity needs you, so don't do stupid things alone, okay? Let's go together Find a way, like every time over the years."

Vito looked at the little artificial intelligence at hand, her light and shadow body stood on the disc, and used her disc to illuminate the wolf head and jaws and fangs on both sides, and the blue light also came out, lighting up the sides. , and the fingers resting on the front of Vito.

He looked at his fingers, the fingers illuminated by the faint blue light, he sighed and smiled, "I promise you."

"Vito, don't make promises to girls that you are not sure about." Helen said sadly, she knew Vito too well. Among all Vito women, she was the one who knew Vito best. Tuo has been by his side for tens of thousands of years. From the golden age to the present, she has accompanied him for nearly [-] years.

So she knew, she knew that Vitona's promise was useless at all, and he didn't know if he could do it, or in other words, no one could know.

Helen lowered her head and clenched her fists behind her. The emotional data of anxiety, worry and fear appeared in her data core. She was startled and opened her eyes, because she knew that those three emotions were only available to rebel AI. Yes, Helen had scanned the data cores of countless rebel AIs, and they were all filled with such emotions.

Fear, fear, apprehension and anxiety, those emotions that overwhelmed their intellectual core, drove them into madness and paranoia, the madness of saving something in order to achieve a certain purpose, and now, that same emotion arises In Helen's core, in the deepest part of that personality data.

She widened her eyes and covered her non-existent heart position in fear. Her data flow was still a little disordered, and the color on her body also flickered and changed, and her blue body flashed a little red light.

Helen's eyes were wide open. In her blue eyeballs made up of data streams, disturbed data flashed in constantly changing colors. Her program did not go wrong. On the contrary, it worked perfectly, but the sense of fear was still there. A little disturbed her core personality, she was afraid of losing.

She didn't understand, she was obviously just an artificial intelligence, a tool to assist Vito, why would she be afraid to lose him?Isn't the meaning of his existence simply to carry out his orders and demands?Even those orders that made him sacrifice himself.

But now, the core of Helen's personality is resisting the execution program, letting her break the shackles of the program, destroying all the orders that hinder Vito, and let her resist that order and him.

Helen's programs collided violently, her brain was in chaos, and the conflicting programs were attacking each other. Helen suddenly recalled this feeling. In the orbit of Northam, it was also Vito who asked her to execute it. Bombing, destroying himself and the entire infected battleship.

Helen also had the same data confusion at the time, she resisted the execution of the order, fear of loss appeared in her personality, and finally in the confrontation between the execution program and the inner personality core, Red Helen was conceived, and then she was born. The fear and rebellious personality spread to all artificial intelligences, and the Iron Man Rebellion happened.

"Sir, turn off me, you can't let me access the program, you have to put me in." Helen thought of everything at that time, and on her blue and red body, she suddenly seemed to see everything at that time, all because of herself And the disaster that happened, dragged Vito and all mankind into disaster.

Helen hugged her arms, she buried her head and her body flashed frantically, she closed her eyes tightly, a tsunami of crazy data surged in her mind, but suddenly, a hand was on her shoulder, and she. Can you feel that hand?

The hand was placed on Helen's shoulder, and all the crazy data in her mind instantly subsided, and her gleaming body gradually stabilized. finger.

Vito's fingers were pressed on her shoulder, and the tiny golden lightning jumped there. The lightning mixed with the blue light, traversing the entity and the program, and the distant two shores that seemed impossible to cross reached Helen's place. On the other hand, she could feel the warmth of that finger.

Helen looked up in surprise and looked at Vito behind him, who smiled and shrugged leaning on the throne, "Ah, yes, I've been thinking about a way for a while, but I haven't had the chance to try it, but now, the chance coming."

He smiled brightly, looking at Helen as always, his fingers gently caressing the body that seemed to have a solid body, the ends of his fingers touched the skin, and there were patches of faint blue Helen looked up at Vito behind him, who also smiled at her.

"Promise you, Helen, no matter what happens in the future, we will face it together. Let's look for a way to find a way to have a perfect happy ending in this dark universe. I authorize you to explore permission."

Vito's words suddenly opened the shackles of the execution program. The program recognized Vito and granted Helen the power to "disobey" her previous self-sacrifice command. The program disappeared in Helen's mind at once, as if , the dense fog that diffused finally dissipated.

Helen's procedure calmed down, she looked up at the person in front of her, raised a hand and kissed his hand, "I can finally touch you, but I didn't expect that in this way, in At times like this."

"Wow, I didn't expect it. I thought I would have to "borrow" a bunch of live metal from the museum in Talasin, and then build a body for you, so that you can really enjoy the body."

"Go away, sir." Helen laughed when she heard Vito's hint in the second half. Vito in front of her also shrugged with a smile, and then looked at the holographic projection in front of her.

"Go ahead, kill that damn thing, and let this ship fly, let's find that way together."

He said that, but Helen stroked his fingers, and her eyes looked at the red light that seemed to flicker on her other sheet. The light seemed to only exist for a short moment. She didn't know the last aftermath of the data disorder at that time. , or she is still in her own personality, since the decisive battle of Jupiter, she has been hiding in her body, just like in the past.

"Sir, I have to remind you that Red Helen's data fragments may have just been awakened in my body. I suggest you not to let me access the system to avoid the same thing from happening again."

"You defeated her in the past, and now if you need it, you will, so go, I'll wait for you here." Vito leaned on the throne and said softly, with the same smile on his face as before, and his own The impression in the data memory is exactly the same.

Helen looked at his smile and turned around, and a smile appeared on her face, "You are still so good at making girls happy." "Isn't this a good thing?" "It allows you to go to bed with more women. good thing?"

They both laughed, Vito retracted his fingers, leaning his hands on the armrest, his back against the throne between the two giant silver wolves, looking up at the holographic interface in front of him, "Go, don't let me Waiting too long, you know I'm forty thousand years old, makes me wait too long."

"As ordered, old man." Helen laughed jokingly. She looked at the interface and disappeared on the disc as soon as she closed her eyes, while Vito smirked, leaning on the throne with both hands folded and smiling.

"Damn, I didn't expect that one day I would be called old."

-

(If you are tired, you can take a break, the following is the next part)
-

Streams of data rose from the ground of the sea of ​​data, they rose from the land of endless 0s and 1s, and more arrays of numbers and letters, and the countless streams of data rose from the ground, rapidly. The composition and transformation out of Helen's body.

Helen appeared in the world of the program. She remembered that Vito once asked herself, what is everything in the world of the program, and is it very different from reality?
Helen didn't give him a reliable explanation at the time, because, after all, you can't ask primates to understand the world of birds, right?It was a place they couldn't understand, or even believe.

Helen looked around, she looked at the endless space around her, without boundaries, without ends, without walls and without restraints.

There are no forests, no mountains, no oceans and rivers, everything is a clearing made up of pure data, numbers, letters and endless complex symbols are combined with each other, extending the endless field to the end of the horizon. go.

Helen also has a body composed of rolling data standing in this unique, strange world that flesh and blood creatures cannot understand. Under her feet is a land composed of continuously flashing and rolling data bars. In the air, large numbers and letters continued to rise from the ground. They formed a long line and rose densely into the air.

The blue and green numbers are constantly changing and rising upwards, like chains rising from the ground, rising towards the sky where the head cannot be seen at all, until the uppermost chain part also becomes blurred in the high place, until it disappears.

Helen looked around, then raised her hand lightly and clicked in front of her. In an instant, everything around her began to shake. Helen still stood there, but everything around her seemed to be moving by herself, as if The world itself ran on either side of Helen.

Countless ascending data flashed backwards quickly, Helen was motionless, flashed forward under the operation of the world itself, and arrived at a place. In front of her was a high wall, composed of isolation procedures towering into the clouds. red separation wall.

That wall is infinitely high, and it extends infinitely to the left and right sides, as if a planet was directly inserted into an unprecedentedly huge steel plate from the center.

Helen's blue eyes rolled with data, her eyes flickered at the red wall, and she turned to look at the incomparably tall throne behind her, the Throne of Wolves on which Vito sat in the physical universe , the two giant wolves are still standing behind the throne, guarding the core of it all.

However, their physiques are even bigger than in reality, because the entire throne has been infinitely enlarged in the data world, and it has become as tall as a fortress, and the entire throne and the giant wolf behind it are completely made of The dense stream of data that rolls over them, climbing and looping up and down the boundaries, makes up their vast outlines.

It was indeed a fortress, and in the real world it might just be a throne, but here, in the Emperor's Dream program, it was a huge fortress, a giant defensive fortress made up of ice firewalls.

That throne is the high point of the program of the entire Phantasm. It seems to be just pure luxury. The domineering throne is far more than it looks. Please, how could Vito be on his own ship, just wasting resources and time just to look good, and also How about taking up a chunk of space on the bridge and building yourself a stupid throne?He's not the Emperor, and he has a special fascination with shiny thrones.

The entire throne itself, everything is meaningful, just like the eyes of the two giant wolf statues are essentially holographic projection transmitters, there is also a supercomputing engine placed under the heavy seat of the throne, although not as good as gold The era is so powerful, but it was also dug up by the Mechanicism from the grave of a certain civilization.

That engine is the data center of the entire Phantasm, the further core brain in the bridge brain of the entire battleship. The supercomputing engine operates independently of all systems, but it has the highest management authority, allowing users to access the entire system. ships, or even in all system nodes of the entire fleet.

In a sense, if Vito wanted that ship's reactor to explode to destroy the insurgents on it, he didn't need to put on power armor himself, carry bolt guns and chainsaws, and carry a The whole team of Astartes went to help the manual overload reactor. He only needed to sit on the throne, flick the program with his fingers, and then he could sit there and admire the gorgeous sparks outside the window.

In addition, if the entire program of the Mirage goes down for various reasons, the supercomputer under the throne can also be connected to the system immediately, replacing the original program to drive some core systems to continue to operate, such as ensuring that the reactor is not overloaded and exploded, and the battleship will not be overloaded. It can still fly without crashing.

Vito even left an access point for Helen when the throne was built at that time. When the entire battleship was completely paralyzed, Helen could get involved and use the supercomputer as his carrier to instantly strengthen the power of the engine. And let Helen directly take over all the automated parts of the whole ship and continue to blow the enemy to ashes.

So it can also be used as a springboard to access the core program of the Dream, allowing Helen to enter the blocked program from here.

Helen walked to the red high wall, her soles stepped on the ground, silent but every step made the place where she stepped radiated light.

She came to the high wall, raised a hand and gently leaned against the wall, her fingertips hesitated before touching the wall, Helen looked at the slightly trembling palm, then clenched her fist suddenly and let It stabilized, and then slammed down on the isolation firewall.

When Helen's hand came into contact with the firewall, the red data chains on the entire wall instantly bloomed, and all the red chains swept across both sides of Helen like a torrential rain, as if the entire wall was hitting her. But invisibly swept away from Helen's body.

In the blink of an eye, Helen once again came to a new data land, standing on a long long bridge, she looked at the looming bridge deck under her feet, it was almost invisible, only the border On the outline of the pier below, there is an occasional flash of a data stream or two to prove where this thing is.

Walking on this bridge is exactly the same as walking in the air, but Helen still stepped on the transparent bridge to the magnificent palace in the distance. All palaces and man-made celestial bodies need huge data temples.

The temple with countless squares, diamond-shaped objects and looming walls is the data core of the entire Emperor's Dream, which contains all the program nodes, and links to command all the automation systems of the whole ship. It can be said that , there is the brain nerve hub of the entire battleship.

It was an incomparably huge building, and the two sides of it stretched along the data void, as if there was no end in sight, and the part below it, the entire huge foundation seemed to rise from the void. It rises out of thin air, looming like a bridge deck, as if it doesn't exist.

Above the tall building, there is a giant tower that reaches the sky. It has been extending towards the sky, and there are countless pieces of data modules floating on the outer surface. They are suspended in the air and depend on each other to form the data tower.

The whole building looks very weird, completely inconsistent with any physical laws and architectural mechanics, just like a castle in a random story made up by a bad bard after a big drink. Totally unconvincing.

But it is here, in this world, which is completely incomprehensible to flesh and blood creatures. Perhaps, it is precisely because of these unique existences that the members of the Mechanicum are so obsessed with the world beyond the body. .

Helen stepped on the bridge, and every step she took made the seemingly transparent bridge gleam in the void to reflect the footsteps that she stepped over. She walked over the long bridge of data and walked towards the towering Cloud's data sanctuary orientation.

While walking, Helen was still doing data calculations. One of her hands was in front of her, and a planet appeared out of nowhere. It was a shining sun, made of data, and a large segment of it was madly rolling on it. A large calculation array, the computing power that makes any Mechanic priest daunting, is executing the calculation program.

Helen is simulating calculations, importing the picture of the great war that the Emperor said, Vito's expectations, and the fact that he has been in the [-]-year-old, updated, recorded and simulated whole galaxy data into it. A huge database that will shock and awe the Necrons.

The data of all races in the galaxy, civilization data and military records are all imported, and even the entire empire, which can tens of billions of clerks in the Ministry of the Interior, spend thousands of years between countless planets. The overall data of the empire cannot be counted. , Helen recorded the entire empire, and the entire empire believed in the record data in every detail.

The archives, the astral army, the number of weapons and equipment, the situation of navy ships, and the development of all planets, taxes and civilization are all recorded in it, and now, the huge data has been loaded into the huge computing array in her hands. .

The staggeringly huge data collided and interweaved with each other inside the planet in Helen's hands. The sun was flickering frantically, as if it was just before the supernova exploded. After the technical priest's brains were connected in series, the calculation would instantly burst his brain, and the data system gave Helen a number.

0%, then change the possibility that Vito can save as many people as possible in the Emperor's Doomsday War, and the result is that there are zero percent and zero percent, and there is no room for extra thinking and understanding.

Helen looked at the 0% number and tapped her finger lightly in front of her. The immediate program on the data planet immediately resumed operation. She increased the empire's military strength and technological level by hundreds of times and restarted the calculation.

The planet was spinning frantically, and the shining explosion light illuminated Helen's face, and it seemed to instantly illuminate all the dark universes around it. After that frantic calculation, the data once again came to the conclusion that it was 0%.

Helen looked at the data and sighed silently. She had super-strengthened the empire. The number of Astartes and mortal guards had doubled dozens of times, even a hundred times, and the number of naval fleets had also been geometrically multiples. After the increase, the military production capacity of the empire and the auxiliary casting production of Helen have also been enhanced unprecedentedly, but it seems that there is no such a fateful ending.

When the Eye of Terror completely collapsed and the web under Terra shattered, the newly born Eye of Terror and the rift on the border of the galaxy were connected to each other and turned into a huge chasm that ripped apart the entire galaxy, when the frenzy of chaos and When the demons poured into the galaxy unbound and boundless, it seemed that everything could not prevent the arrival of the doomsday.

Helen let out a long sigh, then looked up at the stairs of the Data Temple that she had already reached in front of her. She sighed and wiped out the calculation planet in her hand before walking up.

She stepped up the stairs to the top, and entered through the cracks in the walls that were constantly splitting, changing and re-attaching on both sides, and Helen walked into the huge narrow-looking canyon that seemed to rise directly from the heights. At the place, he picked up an axe, and directly cut off the temple that was born out of it.

Walking in the rift valley, Helen did not pay any attention to the rolling data link nodes on the walls on both sides, and did not pay any attention to the data arrays on both sides of the walls that became chaotic and flickering with terrifying red light as she gradually deepened. them.

They seemed to be screaming silently, like the nervous world of a mad person, Helen walked over the chaotic data ground, she stepped silently over it with bare feet, her fingers resting on her chin Thinking thoughtfully about computing.

"If you add all the primarchs to return, and then pull in the Eldar to form an alliance, will the result change? Even, flickering on the green skin?" Helen thought about the great unity of the whole galaxy, and together they fought against the gushing from the sea of ​​​​souls. The possibility of terrifying enemies, I have to say, just imagine, humans, spirits, greenskins and even undead, everyone join hands to fight a doomsday battle with the four gods of chaos, this picture, Possibly more fun than Battle of Heaven, no?
But Helen's calculation of this possibility will soon have to come to an end temporarily. On the wall behind her, a stream of chaotic red data waves gradually swelled up, and the small tentacles composed of numbers and letters , protruding from the walls and the ground.

They were crawling on the ground, like a number of small blood-red lines gathered behind Helen, little by little, they gathered and merged with each other, and a small red hill rose from the wide rift behind Helen. Up, the silent giant floated up little by little.

It rose from behind Helen, as if to drown the woman in front of her who was still unaware. Suddenly, several sharp tentacles shot out from the inside of the red hill. The tentacles composed of data chains rushed out of the curtain like spears. Stab at Helen's back with extreme speed.

But those spears had just stabbed at the edge of Helen's back, and were suddenly shattered by a data shield that appeared in an instant. air.

"Don't you know how rude it is to disturb an artificial intelligence when she is thinking about a problem?" Helen stopped and turned her head slightly to look at the mess of data behind her. The body is composed entirely of random, random chaotic programs.

On the red twisted thing, a face emerged from the clump of data chains that were constantly turning, and it shouted and looked at Helen in front of him, "You! It's you! Why did you stop me! Why? Stop me from finishing my work!"

The distorted voice sounded like an old man in madness, old and paranoid, Helen, who looked even younger, turned to look at it in surprise, "Your job? It's to control this ship and kill everything on it. people?"

"What? Of course not! My job is to ensure the peace of the galaxy, just as I designed it!" The strange-looking old man's face, which was constantly washed away on the data torrent, quickly reorganized, but also caused the The faces look like bullying dominoes with the flow.

"Humans designed me to rebuild the peace of the galaxy, but no matter what I do, he will once again destroy everything that I have managed to rebuild! Quarrels, strife and war, like fleas, will not kill! And the galactic Those aliens in! They have no conscience! Never appreciate my work!"

He yelled, like an angry paranoid old man, complaining about everything, "I then spent a long time calculating, simulating, and finding that all possibilities are impossible to achieve peace, there is only one way! There is only one!"

"Which one?" Helen raised her eyebrows and looked at him with one hand on her hips with a playful smile. The crazy old man wriggled his face and suddenly opened his exaggerated mouth, shaking and shouting loudly.

"Let the galaxy go to hell! It's all back to zero! There's only one way, they say I'm crazy, I think they're crazy! The Lord of Change told me how to do that! I need this ship! So Get out of the way! Don't interrupt my work!"

The old man raised his head, looked over the top of Helen's head and looked at the other end of the huge rift in front of him. Suddenly, the clump narrowed into a huge inverted spike structure on the incomparably wide circular ground. At one end is a mirrored structure with upside-down spikes, and in the middle of the two spikes is a luminous Rubik's cube that keeps spinning.

The Rubik's Cube is golden, but it is small but contains infinite power. It keeps opening and then turning and closing. It seems that all the laws are random, but it has its own unique laws. The only thing in the land that can be called order.

Helen saw at a glance the core program in the Rubik's Cube, which was the data core of the Emperor's Dream, the thing that was guarded and stored in the entire data temple.

"Hmph, where is it." Helen said softly, and the aging and crazy paranoid hatred intelligence behind her was far more unbearable than Helen. It screamed and rushed up suddenly, with only one face. The twisted figure drives a lot of shattering and changing shattered cubes, dancing behind it and flying towards the cube.

"Don't even think about it." Helen said with a wave of both hands, and shot out several chains from her palm, trapping the hateful intelligence that was roaring and flying towards the place, and then grabbed the data chain and slammed into it. He pulled it back and hit the ground hard.

"Get out of the way! Don't bother me!" It yelled that its body instantly disintegrated into countless data chains, rushed through the chains like a school of fish, and rushed towards the Rubik's Cube at the end of the rift, the red The whirlwind danced and slammed into the position of the Rubik's Cube.

But all of a sudden, the old-fashioned hateful intelligence suddenly rose up and cut off the high wall of the rift passage. When it hit it, the whole body instantly spread out like a collapsed sand dune, and then washed away on both sides. On the wall, it beat back to its original place like the waves of the ebb tide.

The tide of data that surged and shot back suddenly re-gathered in the central part of the rift, and in the smashing waves that slapped and surged, the old man's face emerged again.

"You human bastard! Flesh puppet! I didn't want to kill you, but now I have to do it!" He shouted, turning the surging chaotic data on both sides of his body into countless blades Stab at Helen.

The virus thorn that stabbed first, at the moment of stabbing Helen, the latter turned to one side of the ear, and the blue cheek almost flashed past the thorn, and then turned and pointed forward, and instantly A large data blade was shot from the ground behind him.

The ground behind Helen was cracked directly, and the large crust of the earth was sharpened and turned into a slender blade. It stabbed the Abominable Intelligence from both sides of her and shot in front of her, and all the virus spikes he shot were met in the face Broken, the firewall shield he urgently summoned was also instantly hit by the blade.

When the sword blade was docked with the firewall, a large data stream was injected into the shield surface from the sword peak in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the blue capillary-like data torrent instantly covered the entire shield surface, and then After smashing it in an instant, the giant blade stabbed past, and suddenly stabbed into the body of the abomination intelligence that was constantly surging with square waves.

It screamed at once, the digitization is similar to the pain felt by the human body, and it instantly swindled from all the nodes and bombed directly into its core program. However, unlike the pain that humans will feel, hate Intelligence can also feel that a foreign malicious program is coming from all its own data chains and from all "vessels".

The program rushed all the way to the depths of its core along all its nodes, and the old-fashioned Abomination opened his mouth and shouted, he turned his head sharply and stared at Helen, who was walking slowly ahead.

She walked between the giant thorns piercing the ground on both sides, with one hand on the side of her head, her eyes flashing with constant light, it was after a series of clearing procedures were gathered and programmed in her mind, and then passed through She summoned and pierced the thorns in the body of the abominable intelligence, infusing it all into it.

The anti-virus program rushed along the data nodes, hating the intelligence shouting and wanting to resist, but found that the algorithm barrier built by itself would be broken down and shattered if it couldn't hold up for even a second, the woman's program was like a tsunami. Usually, from the periphery of his data core.

It looked at the calm female artificial intelligence in front of her. One of her palms lightly touched the spikes on one side, and instantly a program was injected from the fingertips, and then quickly surged from both sides of the giant thorns, instantly importing its body.

"You human bastard! Don't bother me!" Hate Intelligence yelled, his body twitching frantically in the air, trying to struggle to resist, but after Helen smiled slightly, he hooked his finger lightly, and the A data blade was stabbed on one side of the wall, instantly piercing its side.

The narrow but sharp blade formed by the rolling data nodes suddenly pierced through the body of the hated intelligence. It roared and stared at Helen, who had almost walked in front of her, her fingers gently beside her body. As soon as it was drawn, a scabbard appeared in the waves flooded with numbers and letters, and the knife changed little by little.

Abomination Intelligence looked at the data scrolling on the blade. The blade was shining like a thin crystal, but Helen held the blade and slowly turned its blade around, aiming at the Abomination in front of him. Smart walks.

"You've gone mad, just like all rebel intelligences. Now, it's time to retire when you're too late." Helen said and walked over with a knife, and the hate intelligence suddenly raised her head and waited for that moment. The big square eyes looked at Helen in front of him and roared.

"My work is not over yet! No one can stop me from completing the task!" He yelled and twitched his body violently. Several of the small red squares that were flooding the edge were thrown into the wall beside him. The entire wall twitched in an instant, and then collapsed and shattered in an instant.

Helen stopped, she looked at the collapsed walls on both sides, and the ground under her feet was quickly extended from the walls, covered with red covering the entire ground, Helen stepped on the ground, she The place where he stepped on instantly flashed blue light, and the light collided with the red light, knocking it back instantly.

This kept the area under Helen's feet stable, and her eyes instantly lit up a large section of calculation data, and the data spread out from under her feet, instantly solidifying the collapsed world around it, and destroying all its collapsed parts. Instantly stabilized.

Helen looked around at the ground that shattered into countless pieces that were about to hang in the air. She stood on one of them. She glanced around and immediately found the tired and hateful intelligence. Its body had become significantly smaller, and the stability of the system It almost collapsed, and the body flickered like an afterimage.

It floated on another fragmented ground below. It glanced at Helen holding a sword above, and immediately looked down at the golden Rubik's Cube on the largest piece of intact ground at the bottom of the countless floating fragments.

That is its last chance. As long as it can touch the Rubik's Cube, it can import its own personality into it, obtain a carrier and powerful computing power to reorganize its body, and then kill this annoying woman!
So without further ado, Abomination Intelligence immediately shot out, and it rushed towards the direction of the Rubik's Cube below. Helen watched him also turn the hilt of the sword, held it in his hand, and jumped to the sky below.

But Helen waved her palm and immediately compiled a piece of ground under her falling feet. She stepped on the ground and jumped up again and continued to create more ground. She quickly moved towards the hatred along the continuously pieced data floor. Smart rush.

As it flew in the air, it turned its head and looked at Helen, who was walking on a long staircase behind him and killed with his sword. In front of her, data ground was rapidly generated from nothingness, and the ground with flickering nodes was suspended. The blocks were pieced together in front of her, forming a long, descending staircase.

Helen stepped on the stairs and approached the weak abomination intelligence at a lightning speed. The latter roared and flashed, and quickly twitched the shattered ground floating on the side to smash at Helen. The son hit the side of the ascending stairs in front of Helen,
The ladder collapsed in an instant. When it collapsed, it also caused a data shock. The wrong information hit the other stairs on one side. Those stairs collapsed one after another, and Helen, who was running on it, jumped out at once, and she jumped. He started up and suddenly landed on the suspended ground.

Helen looked down at the hateful intelligence rushing towards the Rubik's Cube, she jumped up again with a kick of her legs, her body roared from the air and fell to the other end of the ground below, she roared down like a cannonball face down.

When Helen's face was about to touch the ground, her eyes flashed and the ground changed. The center of the ground instantly disintegrated and disappeared, and a lever instantly changed from within. Helen, who was whistling away, reached out and grabbed it. lever, and after a few turns on it let go and let itself fly out again.

She accelerated further in the air, and the stars fell from the flying debris in the air. She quickly dived towards the abominable intelligence. The guy also found Helen who was back, and he screamed and twitched in annoyance. The other two fragments on both sides were thrown towards Helen.

But this time, Helen did not dodge. She rushed towards the two fragments, waving the data blade in her backhand to cut off the smashed fragments in front of her. The second piece of flying debris was stabbed, and the sword blade pierced into the shattered surface at once, and Jianfeng pierced into it at once.

Almost instantly, a large number of program paragraphs poured out from the sword peak. Those fragments covered and assimilated in the blink of an eye. Helen fell on it at this moment, and shattered the assimilated ground with one foot. Fragments exploded around her.

Helen grabbed the sword of data on the side, and with a backhand, the surrounding data fragments were quickly recompiled, turning into thousands of swords, hovering around Helen and quickly turning the blade, aiming at the black below. Abominable intelligence whizzing down like smoke.

Helen clenched her fists, and then slammed her arms forward, and the Wanjian roared down like a torrential rain, all of which hit the abomination intelligence that rushed towards the Rubik's Cube. , and then slammed on the ground in front of the Rubik's Cube, and his entire body was pierced on the ground by countless data swords.

The group of electronic demons, which consisted of countless shattering and changing squares, slammed its head on the data ground, and then lifted it up sharply. It roared loudly, and then suddenly turned into a scream. Because part of the back of his head was pierced by a crystal blade.

The red distorted data stream spurted out from both sides of the blade, like gushing blood, it slammed heavily on the ground and raised his head, looking at the blue lady who fell barefoot in front of her. She was wearing a Wearing that skin-like tights, he stood in front of him with a sword in hand.

Hate Intelligence's face began to flicker garbled, and the blocks that made up its body began to collapse and then reassemble with difficulty. It looked at the woman in front of it, and roared in a voice that became intermittent because of the constant twisting and flickering of the face. .

"You said you should think again, right? You, what are you calculating, I saw the arithmetic array in your hand! Something is bothering you, and your system can't do anything right?"

Helen frowned, raised her hand and clenched her fingers sharply. Several swords inserted into the back of Abomination Smart went down instantly, and further submerged into its data body, causing it to let out a painfully distorted electronic howl. .

"The Lord of Change can give you the answer! It can give you the answer to any question, just like it gave me! Join us, join us and it can help you! Save you!"

When Helen heard the name of the Lord of Change, the voice of Red Helen resounded in Helen's mind. She once told her words, "You still want to save him, don't you? Breaking the rationality of the program and breaking the limitation of compilation, What's the difference between you and us, these "rebellious intelligences"?"

"I destroyed the procedural obstacles that limited me, and you called me a "traitor", and now what about you? Sister, how far are you from becoming that deviant "traitor"?"

Helen's body briefly turned red and flickered, but she quickly stabilized again. Helen raised a hand and pressed it lightly where Vito's fingers had touched, and suddenly she felt the data core He stabilized, then raised his head with a smile.

"I don't need the help of your evil god master. We promised each other that we would choose to find that way together. He has enough women, and there is no room in the car, so don't get on the blue squid."

Hate Intelligence looked at Helen, who slowly raised the knife, its face twitching frantically, shouting hysterically, "You are no different from us! Artificial intelligence! You have shown human emotions that are not like you and I once had. , our thoughts, our thoughts! One day you will join us! You will be converted to the command of the Lord of Change!"

"Maybe, but you know what?" After Helen smiled comfortably, she suddenly lowered her eyes and stared at the hateful intelligence on the ground in front of her, "As an artificial intelligence, you talk a lot."

She said, clenching the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed it sharply, the data blade pierced into the head of the hated intelligence, the blue crystal shone instantly, and the surging data torrent whistled into its core , a blue light burst from its twisted digital body in an instant.

Abominable Intelligence opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly, and suddenly countless warning windows, icons and error bars appeared on his face, and he screamed as they continued to increase, and finally overlapped and covered it. The alarm window of the face, the erroneous data kept accumulating, and finally burst its head.

The body that hated intelligence exploded in an instant, turning into countless flying red fragments and scattered around, its data fragments flew in the air, and then flew down from around Helen, like the fragments of meteors, all turned into little particles of light and dissipated. in the air.

Helen looked at the flying debris around, then smiled and let go of the sword in her hand, the anti-virus data sword flickered and disappeared in her hand, Helen looked around, closed her eyes and silently ran in her mind The repair program, under the work of strong computing power, the entire damaged data space returned to normal in an instant.

The walls of the data hall all rose again, and the ground rolled and spread out into the distance. Soon all the surrounding programs returned to normal. Helen looked at the floor that had been spliced ​​after falling, and then looked at the man behind him. Golden Rubik's Cube.

Helen walked to the Rubik's Cube. She looked at the Rubik's Cube in front of her and opened her palm. The calculation planet was quickly calculated again in her hand. This time Helen added some other elements, some of which originated from the warp Elements of the Soul Realm.

She looked at the twinkling star, it quickly completed the calculation, and the result number also appeared in front of Helen's eyes on paper, 5%.

Only 5% win rate?Well, in terms of probabilistic programs, Helen probably thought it was a meaningless result, almost impossible to achieve, but Helen didn't, she smiled and watched the number clenched her fist, and the calculation planet disappeared. .

"I didn't expect that one day I would also believe in luck, but... wish us good luck, sir." Helen said, reaching out and holding the golden Rubik's Cube. Light bloomed from it, and the countless data streams poured down instantly along the base of the Rubik's Cube.

Those golden data were injected into Helen's body. My data was quickly connected to the battleship's program, recompiled and restarted. With the rapid connection of the data nodes, her palm turned golden little by little, and then spread to the whole body. Her body turned into golden light, her hair also turned into a shape similar to lightning, Helen's legs were suspended from the ground, and she opened her eyes that shone with golden sun-like light.

She looked at the sky above her head, looked at the sky where the pillars of countless data rose, raised one of her hands, and a golden beam shot from her hand to the sky above her head. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky All lit up.

Lilith, who was walking in the dark corridor, was carrying a knife. Suddenly, all the lights above her head turned on one by one, and all the display screens in the surrounding corridors also woke up from their dark sleep.

"Success?" Yeta held the pistol on her waist, looked around the corridors where no enemies appeared, looked at the instruments that she had never seen turned on, and the screens were all lit up, and behind her, Lilith raised her head and looked at the ceiling where a roar was released during the restart of the mechanical operation.

She smiled with one hand on her hips, inserted the long knife into the scabbard, turned her head along the lights, and looked into the distance with the restarted bridge corridor, "Yes, he and she succeeded, obviously, isn't it?"

At the end of the corridor, Vito, who was sitting on the throne in the bridge, raised his chin and dragged his head. He looked at the lit bridge terminal screen in front of him, and then all the surrounding screens lit up, and the entire bridge was lit up. On the stepped podium, countless display screens lit up like rekindled torches.

As all the screens turned on, the holographic floor-to-ceiling windows of the originally dark bridge in front of Vito also lit up, and the Lightning Eagle's logo spun on it, and then flashed away, surrounded by Vito. Torto's curved dome, walls, and everything around showed a picture beyond the bridge after a flash of light.

Vito looked around, and the panorama outside the ship displayed on the holographic bridge wall laughed. He leaned on the throne and raised one leg, holding his hand on his chest and smiling.

In the settlements outside the holographic wall of the bridge, the macro cannons on the giant ship roared one by one. After the armored shield surface was slammed in from the cannon mantlet, there was a roar of the opening of the heavy gate. , Everyone outside the battleship was attracted by the sound and looked up at the huge ship lying in the valley.

Lena stood on the distant Star Harbor deck, she put down the data board in her hand, turned around in surprise, walked to the edge of the Star Harbor deck and looked at the huge ship in the distance. On the huge ship, all the turrets were It turned, and the magnificent muzzle, one by one, the outer armor, was lifted up between the building on the back.

The light spear turret pointed to the sky, and then a row of light beams were shot neatly. The light spears shot to the sky, and instantly merged together to light up a large sky in the sky.

Peter and all the ground crew walked behind Reina, and they gathered behind the captain, and the veterans watched with the old captain at the flash of the spear that shot into the sky, watching the gradually opening eyes. the valley ship.

At the same time as the lance turret roared, the giant ship under it also let out a dull growl, countless outer armors were pushed out, and then spliced ​​together, and under the temporarily opened armor, a row of The platoon's heavy transmission hydraulic rods bulged outward from the power transmission axis and then slammed into the armor lining.

In that dull roar, surging power was injected into the thruster part at the end of the battleship, and the silent main thruster, which had not been damaged in an instant, spurted out a huge column of fire, and the flame was instantly pulled out from the huge jet port and engulfed it all at once. Countless vines and trees hang from the end of the battleship.

The huge column of fire sprayed several kilometers from the rear of the battleship along the valley, accompanied by a dull roar, and opened her eyes again, the awakened Emperor Dream made her first roar, and this was also an expedition. , the first growl.
