From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 781 I, the Extraordinary Reckless Man
After communicating with Amber, Norton II's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and the whole person seemed to be injected with new vitality.

He stood in front of the window of the command cabin vehicle, his hands clenched and his breathing slightly quickened, like a lost person who found his direction in life again after his original life was shattered.

"Boss, I want to witness this with my own eyes."

Norton II turned to face Amber, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"I will witness it from this moment on, but not here, but on the front line. I hope to act together with the troops of the Atlas Group. I want to see with my own eyes the changes that are happening in the world."

Amber raised her eyebrows slightly but didn't show any surprise. "Are you sure? The front line isn't a safe place."

"I care more about the truth than safety." Norton II said firmly, "If you really want to be the 'Dragon Trapper', I want to witness every step of the process with my own eyes."

Amber pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I won't stop your 'practical action', Mr. Consultant. I will also arrange a guard platoon to protect you, but please remember - don't mess around."

"Of course, Boss, I know my identity and position very well. I am just an observer."

Norton II bowed slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"That's fine~ I hope your 'practical actions' can inspire you."

After everything was arranged, Norton II left the command cabin, leaving Amber alone.

The cabin became quiet again, with only the constantly updated data points flashing on the tactical screen. Amber leaned back in her seat, stretched her body, then looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought.

At this time, apart from occasionally acting as Atlas's "plug-in" to deal with enemies that regular troops could not handle, his only job was to make some decisions.

This made him the most idle person in the temporary camp on the ground.

"Maybe I should find myself something to do."

Amber muttered to herself, her eyes scanning the green cursors representing the Atlas Group's action points on the tactical screen, wondering if she could also go to the front to help.

At this moment, the holographic projection equipment in the cabin suddenly started up, and Lilith's figure condensed into shape in the air. This time, she was wearing the purple dress she wore when she evolved. Her mature and curvy body, her translucent belly, and her hair fluttered gently in the virtual breeze.
"Master, I heard your conversation with Norton II." Lilith's voice was unusually uneasy, and full of curiosity. "Are you really going to become a 'Dragon Trapper' as you just said?"

Amber looked up at her, her lips curled up slightly: "Yes, Lilith, this is my goal for the rest of my life."

Lilith's projection walked slowly inside the quarantine vehicle, touching the floating data screens with her fingers. Although she couldn't actually touch them, this action made her seem more real.

"But I see the problems that may arise in achieving this goal, Master."

She stopped and turned to face Amber. "How can you ensure that the Renaissance Alliance and the Star Dragon Empire can accept being secretly supervised? The Renaissance Alliance has just 'turned over and sang', and the royal family and nobles of the Star Dragon Empire have always been high and mighty. These two major forces certainly don't want anyone to ride on their heads."

Lilith stared at Amber with eyes flashing with data and continued, "Moreover, Master, do you think the Atlas Group can really stay the same as it is now? Will there be vested interests from within who will unite and try to overthrow it all in the future?"

Amber looked at Lilith's interest in the topic, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He stood up and walked to the holographic projection.

"Lilith, I'm very happy that you took the initiative to discuss this issue with me. I'm really happy~"

"Why do you say that, Master?" Lilith tilted her head.

"Because you are the key to the implementation of this plan, Lilith."

Lilith's eyes widened slightly, and a blush appeared on her virtual cheeks, although she herself didn't know why she blushed at this time.

"I?"

"Yes, you." Amber nodded affirmatively, "Without you, this plan will not be realized."

Hearing Amber's words, Lilith's expression became soft and firm: "Master, I will do my best to help you achieve this goal. I will do whatever you need me to do. But I still don't know how you are going to solve the problem I just raised."

The next moment, Amber smiled, and on the surface she looked no different from usual, but Lilith felt an inexplicable "chill". This feeling should not exist for an artificial intelligence, but she did feel it.

"Lilith, have you heard of the 'super reckless man' theory?" Amber put away her smile and spoke in a calm voice.

"Extraordinary reckless man." Lilith repeated the word in a low voice, and at the same time searched these two seemingly unrelated words together. With the tiny bit of relevant content extracted from the massive amount of information, Lilith felt that she might have touched the edge.

Amber nodded and continued to explain: "Lilith, you know that the way Atlas Group can suppress the Renaissance Alliance and the Star Dragon Empire is to rely on military strength, advanced technology and crazy acquisitions to form a monopoly in the industrial chain."

He woke up the dormant screen and called up a series of data for his own reference.

"Let's not talk about the Star Dragon Empire. Just the Renaissance Alliance, which we are currently focusing on, will be lagging behind in terms of military strength and technology for a long time."

The data on the screen also showed a comparison of the gaps between the Atlas Group and the Renaissance Alliance in various fields. In the points mentioned by Amber, the gap between the two sides was staggering, but it seemed that no one was going to confirm this now.

"Moreover, once the Atlas Group has completely monopolized key industries, it will be equivalent to blocking the opponent's lifeline."

Amber's finger slid across the screen, pointing to the key industries, and continued:

"As long as the Atlas Group maintains its industrial monopoly, it will be difficult for the Renaissance Alliance to resist. If anyone among their top brass tries to resist with force, the Atlas Group will mercilessly use the 'language' they can understand to tell them not to do so."

Seeing Lilith nodding thoughtfully, Amber continued, "In addition, monitoring information within the Renaissance Alliance and even the entire Federation in the future will also be a top priority. This is equivalent to completely rolling out the 'Prism Project' within the Atlas Group."

"Fully launch the 'Prism Project'." Lilith's expression finally changed. "Master, do you want me to monitor the entire Renaissance Alliance, or in the future, monitor the entire human world?"

He looked directly at Lilith: "Yes, this is where I need to rely on you. I need you to monitor the entire Renaissance Alliance on your own. Think about it, why has human society always had insufficient supervision or corruption of supervision?
It is precisely because the supervisors are also human beings, they have their own thoughts and desires, their energy is limited, and it is difficult for them to stick to their original intentions for ten years. But if the supervisor is replaced by you, Lilith, these problems will not exist.

Indeed, you have your own desires and ideas, but your ideas and desires are completely different from those of humans, so you are the only being in this world that cannot be corrupted by humans.

On this basis, the 'Immortal Legions' that have completed the cut-off from the material world will serve as the most efficient executioners and butchers. They will only accept orders from you and me and be ready to behead and physically eliminate key figures and groups at any time." Amber paused, just like communicating with others, letting Lilith digest what she had just said - although the latter actually understood these contents completely in an instant.

Then, his voice became more resolute: "I know that although this somewhat extreme approach seems to put human society under some kind of high-pressure surveillance, if you think about it carefully, you will find that if everyone lives and works peacefully, and no one commits evil, oppresses others, or abuses power for personal gain, these measures will not have any impact on their normal lives."

Lilith's eyes lit up, and at that moment she completely understood what Amber meant.

"So what you mean, Master, is that for the Renaissance Alliance and the Star Dragon Empire, the Atlas Group is that 'super reckless man', and at the same time, their social operation will also be inseparable from this 'reckless man', so they will most likely choose to accept it. Even if a small probability event occurs and makes them want to resist, we will use our own methods to make them accept it."

She continued to analyze, "Under normal circumstances, the Atlas Group is a giant corporation, and we will not interfere with their operations within the framework of rules. But if someone tries to break this 'framework' or does not operate according to the basic rules, this 'super reckless man' who secretly monitors the entire world will jump out and let the other party know what 'reckless behavior' is."

Amber nodded approvingly, "You catch on quickly, Lilith."

He walked back to his seat, and his tone became more straightforward: "In fact, the most convenient way is to destroy the Renaissance Alliance and the Star Dragon Empire, and let the Atlas Group rule directly."

Lilith's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed very interested in this proposal.

It was a pity that Amber's next words extinguished her inappropriate thoughts.

"But for the humans in this universe, the concept of a 'giant corporate state' or a giant corporation ruling the human world is still a bit too advanced and shocking. I am very worried that doing so will cause a period of turmoil before the 'crisis' that Saleh mentioned arrives, so I put it on hold for the time being."

"Well, I thought..." Lilith pouted a little 'disappointed' and poked her fingertips together.

"Don't 'think', you can't have this 'think', Lilith~" Amber knew very well what Lilith was thinking.

After giving up that idea, Lilith turned her attention back to what Amber had just said. Soon a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes. She walked slowly to Amber with an expression of 'I understand' on her face.

"Since the Atlas Group is their 'super reckless man' to the Renaissance Alliance, then for the Atlas Group, Master, you are the 'super reckless man' who maintains the rule."

Amber smiled. "That's the correct answer."

Then, spiritual energy began to materialize on his body, and he slowly floated up. The next moment, this powerful force was instantly taken back by him, and he fell on the floor of the cabin vehicle as if nothing had happened.

"I am very clear about the current power of this body, and I am also very clear about how much this power will grow in the future. To be frank, the human world in the future will not be able to impose any restrictions on me, not even the power of the Atlas Group.

If such power were placed on a planet or a single galaxy, perhaps I could indeed be omniscient and omnipotent, and appear in front of those "bad guys" at the first opportunity to physically eliminate them and quell all opposition forces.

But if the scope extends to the entire human society, it will be difficult for me to do all this alone, so I need external help - that is, you, Lilith, the Immortal Legion, and the help of the entire Atlas Group. "

"We are the extension of your will. We will become your sharp blade." Lilith murmured in a trance, and then became extremely determined.

This might be the first time she realized the importance of her existence to Amber. Before this, she always thought that she was Amber's "right-hand man" and "cyber queen".

But at this moment, Lilith knew that it was not that simple. She could really help Amber achieve great things, and only she could do it.

Neither Isabel nor Alenita nor the noble empress could do it. Even Saleh, the 'pioneer', could provide limited help to Amber in this matter.

Only Lilith can provide Amber with unique and irreplaceable help.

Lilith's voice softened instantly: "Master, I don't understand what benefits and advantages you can get from this? So I'm curious. Why do you want to do this?"

"If you insist on saying there are some benefits, would a sense of accomplishment and mission count?"

Amber shrugged, her expression becoming more serious than ever:
"Secondly, there is no 'why'. I just want to make corruption and oppression in the human world disappear, realize the ideals of those pioneers, verify the ideas of those pioneers, and tell the world that this beautiful world that only exists in theory can be realized."

He stood up and walked to the porthole of the shelter vehicle, looking at the city in the distance that was still ablaze under the night sky: "I didn't have the power to do all this before, so I could only slowly accumulate strength in this universe, surrounded by many forces, to protect myself. But now I have enough power, so I want to give it a try."

Amber turned to face Lilith: "This idea actually came to me after I absorbed the 'eternal cells'. I used to worry about my lifespan. I was worried that after I died, the order I had established would collapse because no one would continue to maintain it. In other words, this is almost certain to happen a hundred years after I die."

Amber's eyes flashed with determination. "But now that I have gained the ability of near immortality - although according to Saleh's conservative estimate, I can only live for tens or even millions of years, but this is long enough. In this case, why not try 'Alone in the World'? And I am sure that the strength of my psychic power will not stop at level 7, but will continue to climb at a faster rate, and eventually reach an unprecedented level."

Lilith just looked at Amber quietly, listening to what he said, and she suddenly felt as if she had gotten to know this 'Master' all over again.

She found that her 'Master' was no longer the spectator he used to be, but had his own ideals and goals, and she was sure that he would really do so and would do it at all costs.

Just as this thought flashed through Lilith's mind, Amber walked up to her and said seriously: "If this new order can be realized, I am willing to devote my entire life to maintaining this order, and just silently monitor everything behind the scenes until millions of years later."

Then, a murderous aura emerged from Amber's words, a murderous aura that belonged only to an 'extraordinary reckless man'.

“If anyone tries to break this order, the only way is to kill them.
If someone tries to use power to oppress the people, the only way is to kill them.
If someone tries to commit corruption and force women into prostitution, the only way is to kill them.
Even within the Atlas Group, even the 'veterans' like Randall and the 'closest people' like Isabel are no exception."

Amber looked directly into Lilith's eyes and asked in a calm but powerful tone: "Lilith, are you willing to help me accomplish all this?"

Lilith was stunned. At this moment, she felt as if she was 'charmed' by Amber. This was completely different from the usual feeling when Amber gave her instructions and she followed them.

If Amber could see a progress bar like "favorability" on Lilith's head at this moment, she would find that the already full progress bar was directly burst.

At this moment, the strong artificial intelligence did not hesitate at all, nodded frantically and even pointed out the afterimage: "I am willing! I will do my best to help you achieve this cause, Master!"

There was an unprecedented firmness and enthusiasm in her voice, and she was very clear that this time she was not "obedient" because of Amber's modification of the meta-instructions, but because of her inner thoughts.
As the first strong artificial intelligence in history, she really has an "inner heart".

Amber smiled and stretched out her hand. Although she couldn't actually touch Lilith's projection, the action was full of symbolic meaning.

Lilith also stretched out her hand, and her virtual fingertips met Amber's fingers in the air.
