Old days in the box

Chapter 537 The Third Player's Intention
The words of the past undoubtedly pointed to a terrible scene. Everyone understood the hidden meaning behind his words and looked towards the Mother of All Laws who controlled this magic network.

Except for Hela, most people here have never set foot in the data center of the magic network.

If someone in the atrium leaked important information about the magic network, the primary suspect must be the magic network goddess.

“My Lord, my loyalty to you is unquestionable. Even if there really is a foolish traitor among us, that person will never be me.” Hela did not panic too much, but just explained quietly.

After so many years of getting along, He was very clear that the Old Ones' power was omniscient, and as long as He didn't do it, the Old Ones would definitely see it clearly.

“I have never doubted your loyalty, Hela.” As expected, the Old One continued to send down the buzzing divine guidance, giving a positive answer to everyone’s doubts. “In fact, you all misunderstood. The situation we are facing now is far more serious than the appearance of a traitor.”

In this ocean of data that sparkles with the souls of billions of mortals, traces of unusual movements are gently rising and falling on the distant waves, and the undercurrent is surging.

"Someone is building an independent network hub in the magic network, trying to steal the power of this great miracle."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, even Hela and Sharon, who were responsible for controlling the inside and outside of the magic network, were surprised.

The Magic Net is a technological miracle that was further improved based on the quantum magic network with the power of the past. Compared with the technological level of most forces in the universe, it is difficult for them to even imitate the Magic Net, let alone steal it.

“Building an independent hub in the magic network? Why didn’t I detect such a signal?” Hela recalled immediately.

"Because they have a digital personality that is as powerful as 'Loyalty', and they have been in the high rings of the magic network for a long time, which makes their plan concealed enough."

"You mean the Alliance of Gods? Aren't we fighting the Omnic War together with them?"

"The Omnic Wars are over."

Less than ten solar hours ago, the Artificial Intelligence War between "War" and the Alliance of Gods, which broke out near the Outer Ring System of Vanaheim, was officially won with the help of Midgard.

This massive confrontation between intelligent machines ultimately ended in complete victory due to the deep interference of the Old Ones. The army led by Loki and Jörmungandr broke into the main star where "War" was entrenched and completely paralyzed the AI ​​personality of this war-obsessed person.

This is also the reason why the old gaze has not yet shifted from the front line back to the atrium.

Due to the boundary separation, there is at least several decades of time dilation between the two places. If it were not for a cross-boundary network like the Magic Network, it would be difficult for them to even synchronize information.

But because of this, after defeating "War" and incorporating its central data into the Magic Network, Zhou Xiao immediately noticed the problems existing in the Magic Network itself.

There is another creature of the same origin and species that is parasitic in the current magic net, like a beautiful parasite, slowly absorbing the nutrients of this behemoth.

Waves of data were transmitted back to the secret room along the network. As information poured in, Hela and Sharon received the battle results from afar almost at the same time and learned about the hidden problems.

“Computer of the Gods?” Hela quickly read the information in the data stream with her spiritual sense and blurted out, “Who helped them create such a blasphemous thing?” “It’s me.” The Old One answered slowly.

"My deal with Sif brought the Heart of the Gods and the Norse gods into the Magic Network, using the size of the gods to strengthen the Magic Network and lay the foundation for its current huge coverage of the universe; but this idea also inspired them and made them realize the nature of the Magic Network. As long as there is enough divine power and a digital hub that operates the quantum magic network, anyone can create their own Magic Network in the unowned area of ​​the network."

"Impossible! Even if they understood the formula, with the gods' understanding of technology, they simply don't have the ability to make such a complex creation." Sharon questioned.

"It's not impossible. Victoria, the goddess of fertility and leader of the Alliance of Gods, is an Outer God who comes from the same source as Odin and I. With her knowledge, she can definitely come up with such a plan."

“So, it was Sif who betrayed us and told the Goddess of Fertility about our deal with her?” Hela was slightly angry.

"Our transaction with him is limited to the Heart of the Gods and the entry of the gods. In principle, he has completed the transaction with us and it is not a violation of the agreement." Ghatanothoa shook his head.

This is a blatant conspiracy for both parties.

The original intention of inviting the gods to settle in was to use the gods to expand the size of the magic network, which is an obvious fact; and Victoria borrowed this idea and gathered the gods to fully support "Mercy" to parasitize the magic network and become the computer of the gods. This was also something she did not intend to hide from the atrium.

From the beginning to the end, Midgard and the Alliance of Gods were not true allies. They were only forced to join forces temporarily because of their common enemy, the Divine Realm.

But if you look deeper, what the Atrium wants is the true freedom of the new era, while what the gods want is to return to the glory of the old era. The pursuits of the two are fundamentally inconsistent, and a secret struggle is an inevitable result.

"Sif only wants to avenge Thor. Since she agreed to my deal, she will naturally agree to Victoria's deal. This person is no longer valuable." The Old Day murmured secretly.

"The threat from the great enemy, the Divine Realm, is still present. Why are they trying to divide us now? Are they crazy?" Tyin did not hide his dissatisfaction at all.

"The Omnic War is over, and the network permissions held by 'War' have flowed back to the Demon Network. They have obtained enough chips to activate their astral computers. There is no need to hide it, and no way to hide it any longer."

Ever since Sif invited the gods to join the Magic Network, they have been sharing this huge network together, and at the same time using "Mercy"'s authority over the quantum magic network to secretly learn the data of the Magic Network.

Now that the Robot War is over, the Alliance of Gods, as one of the winners, has also seized some data belonging to the "war". Combined with the long-term lurking of "Mercy", the combination of the two is enough to generate amazing computing power, so that it can no longer hide in the magic network.

"We must figure out the capabilities of this Gods computer and what its purpose is."

Zhou Xiao was not surprised by Victoria's copying behavior. Pulling the gods into the magic network itself has both risks and benefits.

The arrival of the gods can certainly expand the size of the magic network, but allowing them to personally contact the magic network would inherently run the risk of data leakage, not to mention that he did not expect that Victoria actually had one of the four digital hubs in her hands.

The Alliance of Gods is one of the only three major forces in the universe today. Now that they have come into contact with miracles like the Demonic Web, it is not surprising that they want to copy it and turn it into their own combat power.

But the question is, what was Victoria's intention in going to so much trouble to create this computer of the gods?
