Chapter 1118 War Beats the Cradle
As for this scene...
Caroline gently covered Chie's eyes, then spoke in a rare, slightly low voice:

"It doesn't look like human technology."

Speaking of which, there seems to be a similar program model in one of the databases of the Dragonborn Research Association.

'Hakoniwaization?

"Still need the Rhodes Chain?"

But she seemed unwilling to recall those painful memories, so she only said a few words before stopping.

But perhaps the scene she was about to witness was too advanced for her, and even Caroline could hardly find a corresponding case, so she remained silent.

the other side,
Su Wen seemed to sense that her data projection was trembling slightly, so he simply held her hand gently.

Then he stood in front of her.

At this moment, this cyberpunk world, presented amidst the atmosphere of the blood moon, was finally enveloped by countless enormous, faintly glowing skyscrapers in the darkness tinged with crimson.
Countless flying objects shuttle between the tall buildings.

But that's not the most captivating part. What's truly shocking is the free distribution of prosthetic body replacement surgeries, even those involving human experimentation, as well as mutant drugs and hallucinogens.

as well as,

Some of the people hiding beside the neon-lit streets at the bottom level looked like corpses.

When Su Wen looked at them, he could see rows of name tags without even needing to use [Appraisal Vision].

[Sixth grade individual, meat quality rating F-, genetic contamination level 93%]

Survival countdown: 2 days, 17 hours, and 32 minutes

Recommended direction for modification: raw materials for bio-batteries

Upon seeing these images, Su Wen, who had experienced countless extraordinary events, felt for the first time an absolute terror belonging to a possibility of the future.

As their gaze extended into the distance, many of the humans on this street were emitting an eerie purple light—a sign of the ultimate fusion of machinery and flesh.

Although these people are not current residents, they may even be just 'historical figures' reflected in the ruins.

But Su Wen finally understood the true meaning of the three words "survive" in the train's announcement:
In this city that has been transformed into a giant incubation chamber, so-called "humans" are nothing more than livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

And so, as Su Wen gazed upon these fragments of ruins—which could be the future of human civilization, or perhaps the remnants or even ashes of other civilizations—he simply clenched his fist slowly.
"Only civilizations that are still in their cradles..."
That's why they can't wake up from the dream of 'hallucinogens,' 'human discrimination,' and 'cyber endgame.'

But they were enslaved and fed.

That is a fate that humanity cannot accept.

Could it be that someone behind the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is embracing this kind of 'expectation'?

And upon hearing him say that,
Caroline seemed to have realized something as well; unusually, she refrained from teasing him and instead gently hugged him from behind.

Her data body is not just a projection, so this feeling is also very special:

Don't worry,

If our Mr. Rhine is afraid, I will protect you.

But at this moment,
A bright red warning box suddenly appeared on Su Wen's retina; it was actually his own certification rating:

[Third-class individual, Celestial Meal Certification, Gene Lock will be released in 119 minutes and 59 seconds.]
Recommended cooking method: live torso sashimi.

Please arrive at the TYI-137F Trade Building area within two hours. You can preserve your genetic code but lose your physical body.
As a reward for your excellent training, your subsequent actions and awareness can be uploaded and stored in the virtual paradise of the TYI79141uy area.

And when you see these extremely terrifying lines of prompts,

Su Wen, who had been accumulating a great deal of anger, suddenly revealed an extremely calm smile. He moved his hands, and the spiritual energy fluctuations belonging to the dawn's glimmer rose continuously within his body:
"Let a beautiful lady protect me."
That's not like me.

After all, I am [Night Watchman - Rhine].

"Then what do you want to do?"

"First, let's meet this abomination bathed in the blood moon, and then 'exterminate' the alien resurrected beings hiding behind Tokyo."

Not a single one will be left alive. At this moment,

After confirming his enemies, Su Wen even anticipated what would happen if he couldn't completely defeat them in Tokyo.

Then,

He should probably activate the Twilight Cluster completely.

Simulating, and even surpassing, the Kill Spiral that gives birth to the Zerg swarm is the most terrifying aspect of Warstorm [Twilight Cluster] for the Third Age.

After all, compared to the Zerg swarm that serves as a source of destruction—a natural disaster—and famine, the Twilight Cluster, capable of hunting down the Zerg swarm, is also a source of destruction for civilization:
[Natural Disasters - War]

As Su Wen was scanned, it was as if countless cameras throughout the city were watching him.

But the next second,
The hacker simply clasped her hands together lightly:
"Okay, data cleaning is complete."

In an instant, under Caroline's data invasion, boundless deep green light spread out.

The data manipulation capabilities seemed to have a virus-like effect, replacing all the scanned information about the three of them.
[Unit not recognized, decision: remain silent]

[Unit not recognized, decision: remain silent]

[Unit not recognized, decision: remain silent]

[Exceptional Trait: Data Control - Void Hacking - Overwrite (Tier 4)]:
even,

Even during the operation, the hacker didn't forget to analyze the source code of the data and a few unrecognizable signal interfaces:

"Although this projected ruin does indeed mimic some kind of deceased civilization."

But the technology is still the same technology we know today; it's just that it does have a different flavor now.

"It seems you understand now..."

Su Wen had already discerned the hidden meaning in Miss Hacker's words:

"The legacy of other civilizations exists here."

Even as the world scanned him, Su Wen's visionary perspective had already covered some extremely important areas.

Although those areas were too far away and were also affected by the abyss, they still showed the warning of being "high-risk contaminated areas".

But this time,
Before he could give his next plan, the usually relaxed hacker placed her finger between her eyebrows.

It was as if she was processing the data she had just obtained through hacking:
I had a similar feeling.

Because: 'They' are very likely alive.'

As a fourth-tier data-side transcendent, Caroline has never revealed the true nature of her dragon-blooded power, and she has never even shared this information with Su Wen.

However, assuming this does indeed involve the data systems of non-human civilizations or even massive mechanical structures, even she might not be able to conquer it instantly.
I need time.
Let's gather more intelligence first.

But Mr. Rhein, why were you able to discover so quickly that there is likely a 'revival of civilization' behind Tokyo?
Or are they 'revivers' from other distant planets?

For this,

Su Wen replied:
"Because of the strange movements of the divine wrath,

As an advanced technology of genetic ascension or genetic modification, this ability is something that only a level 6F civilization could achieve.

In other words, that is the sociological intensity of the equivalent of the sixth-order ascension to godhood.

However, humanity is currently unable to control this power, unless some external factors are involved.

Let me give you an example that you're sure you'll understand:
Les Anton,

They had already made contact with the extraterrestrial resurrected beings.
