Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 248 Elvis

Although the reasons are not clear, the key issues at the moment still need to be solved.

Portman cannot stop using robots. Once they stop, a large number of companies will go bankrupt and run poorly.

If you offend the people below, you may just step down. If you offend the people above, it may cost you your life.

But on the other hand, the robot riot has gradually become a reality, and there is no way to contain it, which makes it very difficult for him to handle.

Just when McCree was at a loss, a man actually pushed the door open and entered the president's office without triggering any alarm systems or guards.

"Who?"

Feeling someone push open his door casually, McCree showed an unhappy expression on his face, snorted coldly, and looked out the door.

Just as he was about to reprimand those unruly subordinates, someone suddenly came and made him stunned.

Just as his fingers were about to touch a hidden button on the table, a bullet whizzed past McCree's ear.

McCree subconsciously reached out and pressed his ears. The sound of bullets breaking at close range made his whole body fall into a daze.

The movements of his hands also stopped completely.

A humanoid creature with black feathers could be vaguely seen from under the cloak, walking slowly towards the president.

"Mr. President, I heard that you have been in trouble recently?"

Ives slowly pulled down the hood of his clothes, revealing an eagle mask.

McCree hadn't recovered from his dazed state. When the process started, the opponent was already standing one meter away from him.

His heart suddenly rose to his throat.

This is the White House, Portman, the most heavily guarded place in the entire Eastern Milky Way.

Breaking in is difficult, but not impossible.

But it is almost impossible to come to this office quietly without alerting all the defense systems.

"Let's make a deal."

Avis ignored McCree who was still stunned and just smiled lightly.

"Deal, what deal?"

McCree tried to stay calm, but in fact he was extremely panicked.

At this distance, no matter what he did, the other party could kill him with a single shot, without any luck.

He didn't ask how the other party got in.

It's not important. What's important is that the other party has already come in and shot him.

He now stood less than one meter in front of him.

In other words, what matters now is not what he wants to do, but what the other party wants to do.

"Do you know this person?"

"know."

Avis showed the other party Qin Xu's photo.

"If I said that everything happening now was caused by this person, would you believe it?"

"..."

So weird.

A killer came to his office just to answer his doubts, and it was hard for him to imagine the mental state of the other party.

McCree swallowed.

Although he was very scared in his heart, his status as president still made him a little tougher and said.

"I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to trade, you can just say the content of the trade. I have a lot of deposits, and loans are also available. My loan amount is very high. How much do you need?"

"Ah."

Ives curled his lips disdainfully. Apparently the other party thought he was a hired killer.

He glanced around the room and noticed what appeared to be a projected quantum entanglement.

He walked over.

As Avis turned to him, McCree frantically pressed a button under the table.

However, no matter how hard he pressed, no one came in again.

At this moment, he felt like falling into an ice cave, completely cutting off all thoughts.

If nothing happens when pressing this button, it means that the entire security system has been completely disconnected.The other party didn't sneak in, but killed it, and it didn't trigger any alarms when it came.

This is something McCree could never have imagined possible.

"Is this your artificial intelligence?"

Avis stopped in front of Ultron's projection.

Ultron remained silent and did not immediately send out a distress message or respond.

"Omnic, do you know who I am?"

Ives said to Ultron.

"..."

Ultron remained silent, seeming to have a guess in his mind, but unable to confirm it.

Ives raised his right hand. At this time, his arm was already a mechanical structure and he was half a prosthetic human.

And it uses Portman's latest technology and most advanced materials.

Both performance and strength are impeccable.

However, in this case, there was still a faint layer of purple light spreading on his arm.

The faint purple aura started from his fingertips and swept around.

Just for a moment, McRae felt that the presidential table in front of him began to shake violently.

The huge movement startled him and he kicked away.

The wheelchair behind him also moved backwards, and the chair behind him also had a magical force that lifted the chair up.

When Mike turned around and saw the flying chair.

Turning back, the table that was welded to the ground had been pulled up.

Immediately after the ground shook, everything in the room began to float.

Follow the movement of Ives' fingers.The books in the room serve as tables, chairs, bookcases, and the national flag, all of which converge toward a central point.

It was like a miniature black hole appeared somewhere in the room, sucking in all the objects.

McCree looked at all this in disbelief.

He glanced at Ives's voice mask, which looked so weird at the moment.

"So now, are you convinced?"

Ives said this to Ultron.

"I believe it."

Ultron's cold electronic sound came out.

Ives snapped his fingers.

"Snapped."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Then the gravity disappeared, and everything fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground.

"That's good, let's choose, me or him?"

McCree was confused by what Ives said, but it was obvious that these words were not meant for him.

"correct."

Just when Otto was about to give a reply, Avis suddenly interrupted.

"I can be on Portman's side, in other words, Portman is on my side. It's your choice."

In fact, Ultron is also a little confused. Why does Avis have to choose one of the two?
Shouldn't psykers all be of the same camp?

It's as if artificial intelligence is naturally a camp, and the common goal is to eliminate idealistic things.

Civilizations with spiritual ascension actually have a common goal, that is, they are essentially a community of destiny and share weal and woe.

Artificial intelligence’s natural allies.

All psychic ascension civilizations are natural allies.

Even the omnic civilization and the psychic ascension civilization are invisible natural allies.
