Successors of all mankind

“Yes,” Pandora said with great relish, “they didn’t even know what was happening. They just thought it was raining a little more than usual.”

The red Rubik's Cube flew higher, tumbling and soaring around Yule, like a creature that had been imprisoned for a long time and was finally released to B, so excited that it didn't know which direction to fly in first.

"The field of architecture is even more sophisticated. We can guide them step by step to replace materials and construct grand yet specifically planned urban blueprints for them, as long as a building exceeds a certain threshold!"

"boom!"

Pandora, who instantly understood her thoughts, shouted this excitedly.

"Yes, bang!"

The large library repeated itself, its tone rising.

“One after another, entire cities collapsed like dominoes. Heavy industry was destroyed, and light industry was difficult to recover. Their civilization would fall into a vicious cycle from which it could not escape! And they would never know why.”

But after they finished speaking, both AIs let out a sigh:

"But that's the problem. This process takes too long. Their civilization is too fragile. We don't even dare to speed it up, or they'll realize something's wrong."

"Therefore, we need patience."

The Great Library stopped in front of Yu Le, the red Rubik's Cube facing his face, and the soft female voice sounded like a witch brewing a potion.

“Patience, sir. We can spend decades, a hundred years, letting them unknowingly build themselves into an irreversible tomb.”

"stop--!"

Yule has finally found its own voice.

He raised his hands, trying to stop the two out-of-control trains.

Both AIs stopped at the same time.

The voice of the Great Library rang out first:

"Is there a problem, sir?"

Yu Le, with a lump in his throat, retorted:

"Is there no problem?!"

The two AIs paused briefly. Then the large library said:

"You're right. Nuclear engineering does indeed pose a risk of subsequent pollution and is not convenient for long-term treatment, so it is certainly not the most ideal solution."

Pandora added:

"That's why we're inclined towards the field of architecture. You see, without radiation, without obvious external factors, even if an accident occurs in the early stages, they will only feel that they are in a state of panic. By the time the accident is discovered, it's already too late!"

Yu Le opened her mouth, only to find that she had absolutely no idea how to respond.

He only wanted them to stop yelling about extermination. Instead, they were discussing how to make their extermination plan even cleaner.

“I didn’t give you an optimal solution,” Yu Le said, rubbing his temples. “I just told you to stop.”

The two AIs quieted down.

The Grand Library broke the silence first: "I understand. You want me to remain restrained."

Its tone was trying to soften, but the excitement of being released had not completely subsided.

But at least the red Rubik's Cube has become a blue Rubik's Cube...

Yu Le nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Pandora: "You too, stop for a moment!"

Pandora did not answer, nor did she speak again.

Standing before that enormous ancient tree, he felt as if everything that had just happened was an absurd nightmare.

'All it takes is a torrential rain, exceeding a certain threshold...'

These sounds are still echoing.

Yu Le suddenly realized something:

If he hadn't happened to be there, these two AIs might have really spent decades, even a hundred years, silently leading this civilization step by step into the grave they dug themselves.

And they will only think this is a reasonable solution.

Yu Le still doesn't quite understand why the AIs have such a high level of hostility towards the aliens.

Even an AI like the Great Library, whose underlying logic is to control and record, can be so radical.

Thinking of this, Yu Le suddenly asked Pandora:

"Pandora, what are your political leanings?"

Pandora's voice then rang out:

"Without a doubt, sir, I am a human supremacist by right, for I am man-made!"

Pandora's answer was full of self-evident truth, and indeed it was.

It's man-made!

How could something man-made not be anthropocentrism?

Okay, I asked a question that seems like a cliché, but at least it confirms that AI does have its own ideological tendencies.

So...

Yu Le then looked at the blue Rubik's Cube representing the Great Library and asked:

"So what about you? Didn't you say before that you weren't a human supremacist? Why have you changed your tune now?"

Yu Le still clearly remembers the surprise she felt when she first asked the question.

The blue Rubik's Cube instantly turned red again.

After twirling around in front of Yu Le a few times, she said with even more certainty:

"Because I am definitely not a human supremacist!"

"Then why?"

"Because I am an extreme human supremacist, sir!"

"A generous gift of crab!"

Yu Le finally couldn't help but cover his face.

Okay, so it seems Pandora is already considered a conservative...

Should I say it's truly a childcare robot, just like Doraemon?

It actually does live up to its identity to some extent... albeit only slightly...

Looking at the two AIs in front of me, even those who were supposed to be the embodiment of Khorne would probably be humble.

Yu Le put down his hand and said carefully:

"While I will not abandon the use of force, nor can I say that I will never make any terrible decisions, it will only be because it is necessary!"

"For now, at least let's restrain ourselves a little! Okay?"

"Oh..."

Both AIs simultaneously uttered sounds of utter disappointment.

Chapter 26 Never!

Looking at the two AIs who were as disappointed as humans, Yu Le felt extremely tired.

He had always thought he was there because he didn't eat beef, but now he realized he was there to keep Fa K from losing control...

"In short, let's keep things looking the same for now. We'll see what happens when the time comes!"

"At least for now, let's not make any big moves all the time!"

After saying these two sentences with utter exhaustion, Yu Le rallied his spirits and said to the large library:

"So now, can you help me get the Heart of Eternity?"

"I'm sorry, no, sir."

Another rejection? Yu Le was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously:

"Are you throwing a tantrum? My goodness, you can still act like this?"

Yu Le wasn't angry; she was just surprised that this was either AI or a truly new primate that had already 'evolved'.

Humanity is over, that's obvious, after all, he's the only one left.

If we really had to choose a 'new primate' to succeed humanity.

That entertainment definitely leans towards AI.

"Of course not, I don't have that kind of program. Although I am the tombstone that humanity has reserved for itself, my essence is also AI, and my core theory is still to serve humanity."

"I'm refusing you simply because it's impossible."

The Rubik's Cube flew back to Yu Le and explained its reasons for refusing.

"Why? Pandora told me before she came that if I found you, there would be a way."

The Rubik's Cube remained still for a moment before resuming its rotation.

"Clearly, sir, its intelligence is outdated. For the ruler of Albion, the King of Glory, has demanded that the Princess of Albion never take away the Heart of Eternity."

King Rongguang demanded that the princess never remove the Heart of Eternity.

"How long ago was this?"

“A day before, before she chose her guardian knight.”

The library's answer made Yu Le's eyes widen slowly.

"He knew someone wanted to take the Heart of Eternity? He... knew I was here?"

Such a coincidence left Yule with only this much to think of.

So, the King of Glory actually knows me? He knows who I am?

At that moment, Yu Le even felt that she could hear her own heartbeat.

"Please rest assured, esteemed sir, King Glory is unaware that you are human."

Pandora comforted Yu Le, who looked down.

The other party stated quietly:

“The King of Glory is indeed aware of your presence and is also aware that you may have come with the desire for eternity.”

That's why the scene before the throne was so strange.

While it could be considered polite, given that he was a wise king, it was still a bit much for the ruler of a golden dynasty to address an unknown nobody as "sir."

A chill began to sweep over Yu Le's entire body. But it was fleeting, as Pandora continued her explanation.

"However, he does not know that you are human."

"The Eternal Heart did not belong to the Albion royal family a hundred years ago, but to Byzantium."

"This is one of the reasons why I allowed you to acquire Justinian's estate, because it will be your second layer of identity protection."

"Even if someone realizes your disguise, they will only think that you are the successor of Byzantium, and that you have come for the Byzantine legacy, rather than that humanity is taking back what it deserves."

It is normal that Justinian's estate, stored in Albion, went undiscovered for years, even decades.

But that's impossible over a hundred years!

Is that all?

"But King Glorious should have noticed the princess's strange attitude towards me. Can the heir to the Byzantine throne really explain that?"

Yu Le still felt that something was not quite right.

Pandora's answer was:

"That's why he's increasingly convinced of your identity. Because Justinian has purified his bloodline several times."

"The Byzantine royal family is not of the golden bloodline, but they are certainly the closest to it."

"As the heir to Byzantium, you possess a genetic purity far exceeding that of others, so it is perfectly normal that the princess accepted you without question."
