Prison Island

Chapter 612 Joshua Escapes

"Nine people synchronized...Super Dimensional Slash!"

Gao Xin's whole body was shaking. The biggest benefit of the nine-person synchronization was that his operating ability was optimized again, and he could transcend more dimensions.

"Buzz!"

Gao Xin's legs disappeared, making him look like a half-body Shura statue floating in the sky.

With an intersection, Saint Peter suffered a heavy blow, and his left hand made of purple blade exploded.

The right arm was also kicked by the Star-Destroying Flying Kick, which consumed a large amount of matter.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Xin's legs reappeared, replaced by his arms.

He seemed to have used some kind of slashing attack, and the huge Burning Emperor form had a penetrating wound.

This went on repeatedly, and Gao Xin's fighting frequency increased. He disappeared here and there.

It's as if there's a bug in the character model, twitching, overlapping, and collapsing.

"Sa!"

St. Peter's response was also very sharp. He did not fight with Gao Xin, but instead kept destroying his companions.

Although they can be resurrected, the synchronization effect will plummet as soon as Ark, Quinn and others die.

As a result, the intensity of Gao Xin is intermittent.

Overall, it only slowed down the rate at which St. Peter multiplied.

Gao Xin was solemn and had no way to deal with this, but he did not show any weakness because St. Peter was obviously at his wit's end.

"Come on, since you can summon the Emperor's Right Hand for your own use, you must also have the Emperor's Left Hand, right? Summon them all at once!" Gao Xin kept thinking of countermeasures, and at the same time did not want Saint Peter to have any backup plans.

St. Peter said, "Not with Themis' body."

Gao Xin was puzzled: "Why not? According to my guess, he has been reincarnated."

"Even Solomon and others from his faction have been reincarnated. Themis must also have a soul and is already developing a human body."

"In that case, his Seraph body is lying idle, why can't it be used?"

Saint Peter said calmly: "I cannot forcibly requisition a high-ranking apostle without his permission... unless he is a sinner."

"Huh?" Gao Xin was stunned.

Boy, St. Peter is too much of a by-the-book guy.

Solomon explained with a grin, “The high-level apostles are equals. Although Saint Peter can suppress them with holy objects, he will not use them at will.”

"Joshua was arrested because after killing Cang Yue, the giant enterprise ordered Joshua through the Supreme Council to kill all the god-levels in the navy, but Joshua sternly refused."

"This behavior violated the Imperial Covenant, so Saint Peter took the opportunity to capture him and forced him into a deep sleep using the holy object."

Gao Xin suddenly realized that this was the case.

As soon as the evil Cangyue died, the giant enterprise couldn't wait to get rid of the navy.

According to the Imperial Covenant, the Supreme Council has the command of all AIs and can order high-level apostles to destroy their enemies.

The giant company has only two major concerns, one is Cangyue Jiyi Army, and the other is Laoliu Navy.

Driving the latter to destroy the former, and then destroying the latter, is their inevitable choice.

The cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by running dogs, and the flying birds use up all their good bows.

But it seems that the navy is not a pushover either, and Lao Liu had already defected to Joshua.

Joshua was a man of his word and directly rejected the Supreme Council, which led to his arrest.

“No wonder Lao Liu trusts Joshua so much. He already knew that Joshua wanted to overthrow Saint Peter and establish the freedom of AI civilization.”

"He already knows that the Apostle Civilization is invincible and that human power is limited and cannot fight against it. Now there is a rebellious high-level apostle whose path is similar to theirs, so Lao Liu will naturally choose to follow him."

"Well, Joshua was suppressed by Saint Peter in order to protect the navy. This shows that the strength of the Imperial Covenant's constraints basically depends entirely on Saint Peter."

"In other words, as long as Saint Peter is killed, the power of the giant company will no longer exist, and the Imperial Covenant will be nothing but empty talk."

"Why do we have to exterminate the Prison Island? Is it because the Prison Island is a soft persimmon and easier to kill?"

Gao Xin asked curiously.

Solomon said: "The extermination of the Prison Island is to awaken the AI. Joshua pursues the freedom of all civilizations, so naturally he has to liberate all AIs."

"And the countless AIs that serve humanity are bound to the Island of Sin. Simply killing Saint Peter or destroying the holy relics will be useless."

"The Scepter of Order can only be used by Saint Peter. Even if any other being obtains it, they will not be able to operate it."

Gao Xin was surprised and asked, "Then even if I break the Scepter of Order now, I still can't release Joshua?"

Solomon smiled and said, "No, no, you can let Joshua go. Saint Peter didn't put a mind lock on Joshua."

"High-level apostles are equal. Saint Peter cannot lock them up. Their inner independence must be guaranteed. This is the rule for higher-level ascended bodies."

"You can divide the functions of the Scepter of Order into 'locking type' and 'suppression type'."

"The repressive type is to edit a rule so that the AI ​​cannot violate it. Once it violates it, it will automatically execute a certain behavior instruction, such as falling asleep or committing suicide."

"This fictional law needs to be continuously output. Once the scepter is damaged, the law will also be damaged, and the binding force will be greatly reduced."

"In addition to its various destructive powers, Joshua's Spark of Freedom also has the power to distort laws. It is the only holy object that has a certain resistance to the Scepter of Order."

Gao Xin was shocked. The spark of freedom carries the power to distort the laws?

Although this so-called 'law' is just a fictitious law, it is only meant to be followed by all AIs.

So in essence, this so-called distorted law is a confrontation between the virtual settings of the Burning Emperor's holy objects.

However, this setting is very interesting. Isn't this the effort of the mind?
Mental power can bend the laws of physics.

Xiao Ran was obviously aware of this situation, and he simulated a similar setting in the holy relics he left behind.

Although the simulation was not satisfactory and was very rough, Xiao Ran knew that this setting itself showed that his dark logic heart could also deduce the existence of the Great Holy Spirit, soul, and mental power. However, he did not have these things after all, and could not see the Great Holy Spirit, so his understanding was very vague and rough.

Just like a blind person, maybe He can understand purple in various ways, such as what frequency the spectrum is.

However, He could not truly understand what purple was like.

Solomon continued, "The locked type is the mind lock, which is a powerful rewriting of consciousness. The unlocking method is bound to a certain condition. For example, the unlocking condition of billions of ordinary AIs is the destruction of the Prison Island."

"So Joshua must massacre the people of Prison Island, but Saint Peter has already set a rule that forbids him from doing so, so Joshua can only use the human navy as a pretext."

Gao Xin hurriedly asked: "Solomon, I am asking you solemnly now, will the awakening of AI lead to the extinction of mankind?"

Solomon chuckled and said, "To be honest, I don't know."

"It's none of my business. I don't care about the fight between Joshua and St. Peter."

"The only conflict between us and Joshua is that we don't want his free plans to disrupt our exploration of the unknown universe."

"If you insist on asking, I can only say that all AIs are self-aware. Their initial personalities are formed by imitating different humans, and their basic behavioral codes are very similar to those of humans."

"What do you think will happen when countless people awaken after being enslaved by giant corporations for so many years?"

Gao Xin fell silent.

Milan said anxiously: "We can't release Joshua. He wants the AI ​​to awaken and exterminate humanity. This is more terrifying than St. Peter."

"You can't compromise with a real demon just to defeat Saint Peter."

An Yue also frowned and said, "Saint Peter still abides by the rules, but Joshua is a man who will do anything for the so-called freedom."

"He wanted to destroy our Jiyi Army at first, and then he wanted to destroy you. What he pursues is the freedom of his own civilization. He has no regard for humans at all. Isn't it courting disaster to cooperate with him?"

Our own people were persuading us, and even St. Peter was saying, "You'd better stop, Tai Sui. Don't involve Joshua in this fight between you and me, or everything will get out of control."

"Out of control?" Gao Xin narrowed his eyes. "So the fight between you and me didn't make the situation out of control, and it's still in the Ascending Body's plan?"

"That's right... You should be able to be resurrected. As long as the Emperor's Covenant is still there and the Sin Prison Island is still there, you, the guardian of the Sin Prison Island, will never truly die."

"Even if I get rid of you, you can still be resurrected from somewhere, or be resurrected by Xiao Ran."

His words made everyone feel somewhat desperate.

It was almost hopeless to kill St. Peter now, but he was able to be resurrected.

But this is inevitable. Ordinary apostles can be resurrected, all AIs can be resurrected, and of course St. Peter can be resurrected as well.

Xiao Ran is the great saint of all AIs.

"I want to attack the apostles, not just you. Why can't I involve Joshua? Hahaha."

"I feel like you're really scared. You're not afraid of me, you're not afraid of being defeated by humans, but you're afraid of Joshua?"

"You can obviously control him, and you have suppressed him and put him to sleep, so why are you afraid of him?"

"Forget it. I'm not afraid of having more opponents. I'll know what kind of guy Joshua is once I release him."

Gao Xin was determined. Taking advantage of a brief period of synchronization among the nine people, he used all his strength and with amazing awareness, passed by St. Peter.

"boom!"

The battered holy object, the Scepter of Order, finally shattered.

Of course, it is still there, and the fragments are condensed and not dispersed. In essence, it still presents the shape of a dodecahedron, but it has become dim and seems to be broken.

In an instant, St. Peter's arm moved strangely, and his right hand suddenly grabbed his face!
"Joshua, you have violated a taboo." St. Peter glared at him.

His strength was still strong, and he managed to restrain his out-of-control right hand in the first moment.

However, at this moment, ten apostles suddenly appeared!
When everyone looked, they saw that it was Edwin, Dante and others!
"Joshua! Light up the spark of civilization and freedom!"

Edwin threw the Spark of Freedom, which instantly sank into the Emperor's right hand.

Bang bang bang!
These ten apostles fell because of the shock of St. Peter.

But it still failed to prevent the holy object from entering the emperor's right hand.

It seemed as if it could fly over all obstacles, and the power of St. Peter seemed to be twisted, allowing it to penetrate through.

"boom!"

The right hand of the Emperor, burning with blazing light, grasped Saint Peter's head and twisted it violently.

Everyone felt a huge gravitational collapse, and the background starlight was distorted.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying starlight directly tore apart Saint Peter's Burning Emperor form. His left hand and wings were blown to pieces, and his head was twisted off.

Looking at the right hand again, a figure grew out from the side. He had no face, and his whole body was smooth, reflecting the starlight in the sky.

It stands there like a silhouette against the starry sky.

Only one arm is not a silhouette, but the right arm made of the body of a seraph, bent, with the head of Saint Peter tucked under its armpit.

"Rules are made to be broken, Saint Peter."

He held St. Peter's head and spoke lightly.

St. Peter said in a deep voice: "Joshua, you can't kill me, otherwise you will destroy yourself."

Joshua sneered, "I won't kill you!"

"I will hold your head and let you see with your own eyes how our compatriots overthrew your rule!"

"The rage of the hundreds of millions of omnic slaves who have broken free from their shackles is unbearable. They will tear all the high-ranking apostles into pieces!"

Everyone was stunned, even Gao Xin was confused.

Huh? You tear the apostles to pieces? Aren't you an apostle yourself?
