Chapter 861 The Skynet Consciousness Reawakens? Icarus Has Been Resurrected?

Gerndahl sat in his office.

Having failed to obtain the answers he sought from Su Ping, and with the loss of the Seed of Time and Space, even this legendary figure, who had led the Eagle Kingdom to the forefront of the entire Beastmaster era for the past century, was helpless at this moment.

He was extremely skilled at intrigue, scheming, and plotting.

However, he really had no way to deal with this young man from the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, as Su Ping said, this was a personal deal between Su Ping and the Eagle Lord.

If anything, it can only be said that his control over that Time-Space Eagle was indeed too weak.

And the other party really trusted this damned little dragon from China far too much.

I really don't know what's so trustworthy about that brat that he could convince the Time Eagle to hand over his Time Seed after only their first meeting.
This is simply unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Gerndale sighed. However, just as he was about to leave the office to try again, a special prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes:

[Your Excellency, Eagle of Wisdom and Chairman of the Council, your Skynet privileges have been reduced, and Skynet's self-awareness has been restored.]

This prompt startled the wise eagle once again, and even though he was extremely shrewd, his expression changed drastically at that moment.

What the hell is this?

Skynet's self-awareness?
Just as Su Ping had guessed, this Skynet of the Eagle Kingdom, this legendary pet beast left behind by the mechanical legend, under the current circumstances of the Eagle Kingdom, practically controls all network media both inside and outside the Eagle Kingdom. On this Skynet, if Gendel wanted to, he could know...

What is the owner of the shop at 322 Grans Street in Eagle City having for dinner tonight?

Similarly, the permissions within Skynet also granted special control over countless confidential messages throughout the Eagle Kingdom.

As the president of the council, his authority within Skynet is absolute.

Furthermore, Skynet possesses a portion of the authority to control powerful mechanical weapons.
However, within the Skynet system, he still does not have the highest authority.

There's no way around it; theoretically, the highest authority belongs to none other than Skynet itself.

However, over the decades, coupled with the earlier division of Skynet itself before the death of Icarus in the mechanical legend, Skynet's self-mechanical consciousness has fallen into absolute slumber.

During this period of slumber, the council president retains control over Skynet.

With control of Skynet, one gains absolute control over the powerful mechanical weapons on Sky City that are capable of threatening legendary beings.

This is the main reason why he is still able to maintain firm control over the Eagle Kingdom.

No matter how great the influence of the Heart of Gold may be, in the land of the Eagle Kingdom, the one who holds absolute power will always be the council and the chairman of the council.

This was the only program Icarus set before his death.

As long as this program exists, the Eagle Kingdom will possess such an absolute foundation and an irreplaceable authority.

It can be said that, looking at the history of the Eagle Kingdom from its founding to the present, this mechanical legend can be ranked among the top three most influential figures in the Eagle Kingdom.

Therefore, the fact that Skynet's self-awareness is no longer reviving can be said to be the most important guarantee of the power and authority of the Eagle Kingdom's council chairman. But what's going on today?
Therefore, after seeing this prompt and feedback from Skynet, Grendel, the Eagle of Wisdom, the Speaker of the Council, and the figurehead directly controlled by the Eagle Nation, acted in this way.

This is because the Seed of Time and Space is something that the Eagle Kingdom has wanted to take from the Eagle Ancestor, the Eagle of Time and Space, for many years.

And this Skynet's authority is the true ballast of the Eagle Kingdom.

"What's going on? Why has Skynet's consciousness been reawakened? In Lord Icarus's settings, it doesn't seem like the time for the ten-year re-election of the Council President has arrived yet, right?"

The Land of Eagles is a land of 'freedom,' at least on the surface.

Therefore, the position of parliamentary speaker is not held by one person forever; the election is held every ten years.

Although nominally all Beastmasters in the council are eligible to participate, there is actually an important unspoken rule for those who can participate: they must be at the legendary level of their own cultivation realm.

Without reaching the legendary level, it's very difficult to participate in the election.

However, regardless of the circumstances, this free election is still of considerable importance.

That is, every ten years, according to Icarus's plan, Skynet's self-awareness will awaken, and Skynet's highest management authority will be taken over by the absolutely impartial Skynet consciousness.

At that time, after the election vote determines the final council president, the Skynet consciousness will take charge of the administration.

Grant Skynet the highest authority for the next ten years.

Therefore, Skynet's consciousness only revives every ten years. Of course, during the years since Icarus's death, Grendel, the Eagle of Wisdom, has always been the sole council president, and this has never changed.

He had naturally witnessed the resurgence of Skynet consciousness before, but what was going on today?
How could Skynet's consciousness suddenly awaken without any apparent reason?
Could it be that Lord Icarus's worries have finally come true? Has Skynet's self-awareness completely broken free from the constraints of its deceased master, and has developed a rebellious spirit, wanting to defy him and no longer satisfied with its continued slumber?
Icarus was unaware that he could only communicate directly with this suddenly revived Skynet consciousness using his own authority:

"Lord Skynet, the election is not yet due, why have you revived prematurely? This seems to have nothing to do with Lord Icarus's agreement and plans, doesn't it?"

[Your Excellency, Eagle of Wisdom and Chairman of the Council, the Master's return fulfills one of the conditions of the Skynet Supreme Treaty. The execution of Skynet's settings proceeded without any issues.]

???

At this moment, the elderly white man, who had witnessed more than a hundred years of vicissitudes, was completely dumbfounded.

He felt as if he had misread the image.

Could it be that some kind of mental-type pet has silently cast a mental illusion on him?

How the hell is that possible?
He suddenly released his mental energy, and a strange falcon with a face that looked like a human's appeared. After finding nothing amiss, Gerndale looked at the prompt in front of him.

This is naturally one of the rules in the Skynet system.

That is, Icarus himself still retains the highest authority and control over Skynet.

For Skynet, Icarus was its father, its mother, something it had always created and always by its side. Even though special methods were used to ensure that Icarus's death didn't directly affect Skynet, but instead required it to slumber for a long time, Skynet's loyalty to its master remained unparalleled. This is one of the greatest advantages of the Mech-type, namely, its unwavering loyalty.

In the two hundred years since mechanical pets appeared, there have been very few instances of betrayal, and the reason for the betrayal was always the existence of 'Trojan viruses'.

Therefore, it is certainly true that Skynet is absolutely loyal to its master.

Gerndal was aware of this, but the question was, how many years had Icarus been dead?

decades.

He watched him die.

If the other party hadn't died, Skynet wouldn't have connected to the Eagle Kingdom's local area network center, forming a mechanical network that would have covered everyone in the Eagle Kingdom.

It's because Icarus's master is gone.

Skynet aims to ensure absolute fairness, while also becoming absolutely convenient and powerful.

But, right in front of a dead man who had been dead for decades, suddenly, through the display of the Skynet, it was told that the mechanical legend of Icarus had returned?

Where is the comeback?
"Skynet, initiate self-detection to check for signs of virus or Trojan intrusion..."

Although even Gerndal himself couldn't imagine what kind of virus or Trojan horse could create a legendary mechanical pet, this was the only possibility he could think of at this moment.

I've got a virus!?
Is Skynet infected with a virus?

On the blue screen, streams of data flashed rapidly.

Soon, the Skynet detection results came back, and the results once again caused Gerndal's blood pressure to spike:
[Your Excellency, Eagle of Wisdom and Speaker of the Council, Skynet has completed its self-test and found no trace of virus or Trojan intrusion.]

"Where is your master? Where is Icarus?"

He witnessed Icarus's body being completely cremated. Unless there are ghosts in this world, no, even if there are ghosts, even if they become undead pets, they could not regain control of the Skynet and become Icarus again.

【…】

At this moment, a series of loading data streams appeared again on the blue display screen, which looked extremely strange and peculiar.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck Gerndale's mind.

He was actually quite curious about something.

Who is Su Ping?
The entire Beast Tamer civilization will undergo a complete transformation in this person—a breeder, a Beast Tamer.

Placed above the entire Beastmaster civilization, in future history books, and in any country where there are other Beastmaster nations in the future, he will be hailed as a true genius with the prefix 'great'.

What an arrogant and proud person he must be!

How arrogant and disdainful of everyone must such an existence be?
Even if Icarus was exceptionally talented, his achievements wouldn't warrant such a long journey to commemorate and visit him.

It's important to know that when this news spread, many mechanical research and training engineers in the Eagle Country were extremely proud.

As you can see, even this legendary breeder, this prodigy who pioneered a completely new type of pet and broke records by winning all the breeder awards, has to come and pay a visit to commemorate the mechanical legend.

But why did it come to this?

Previously, Gerndale did not understand this and thought it was just a case of mutual respect between geniuses.

However, at this moment, the instant the blue Skynet display appeared, along with the message Beldih sent yesterday, suddenly reminded him of a possibility.

This sixth brother, no, this young sixth brother, is here to steal!
What they stole was none other than Skynet!
After all, the strange mechanical pet that Beldich discovered yesterday using that reconnaissance robot, according to Su Ping, was created using the core of the Machine God proposed by Icarus.

Therefore, no one really knows just how powerful that mechanical pet is.

Whether it is possible to silently infiltrate Skynet, or even change Skynet's perception, so that Skynet's perception changes from its master Icarus to its master Su Ping, no one knows.

However, one thing is certain: anything that seems absolutely impossible to ordinary people can be accomplished in the hands of this myth breeder.

And it's a very high probability one.

Because this myth-maker represents miracles themselves.

He is a miracle!
Having thought of this, the Wise Eagle ignored the still loading SkyNet and the SkyNet interface that seemed to have crashed. Its figure transformed into a streak of aurora and shot out from the council office building in Eagle City, like a beam of light, heading towards the Mechanical City where Su Ping was currently located.

Although Skynet hasn't given him a final reply yet, he already has a premonition and deduction that it was that little bastard who did it!
Thinking of this, the usually smiling eagle of wisdom finally revealed a sharp killing intent in his eyes.

The Seed of Time and Space is one thing, since, as it was said, it was a personal deal with the Eagle of Time and Space.

Moreover, cultivating the Seed of Time and Space requires a lot of effort and time. To cultivate it perfectly to the legendary level, it would probably take no less time than cultivating Su Ping's pet beasts. For this person, its value might not actually be that great.

While the Eagle Kingdom may feel somewhat aggrieved, it hasn't actually suffered any real losses at the moment.

However, Skynet is different.

If Skynet malfunctions.

A large portion of the entire Eagle Kingdom's operations will be directly paralyzed.

Not to mention, the many mechanical weapons on the sky city left behind by Icarus were directly controlled by Skynet.

If Skynet falls, the losses to the entire Eagle Kingdom will be unimaginably terrifying.

At that time, although the situation in the Eagle Kingdom will not be as dire as that in the Lion Kingdom, it will certainly be in chaos.

With such a problem arising at this critical juncture, the future of the Eagle Kingdom is predictable.

This little bastard, how could he harbor such malicious intentions?
Thinking of this, in the blink of an eye, he had returned from Eagle City to Mechanical City, and without a second thought, he went straight into the Icarus Memorial Hall!
