Marvel Universe's Ultimate Martial Arts School

"Killing me should be the final command given to it by the Supreme Intelligence."

"After completing the command, the Destroyer will enter standby mode," Number 1 said, looking at the Destroyer on the screen, which was now wrapped in a cocoon. "I'll restart it and re-enter the command to control it."

"Should we wait a little longer? What if the Supreme Intelligence left it other instructions?" The fire spirit was clearly much more cautious. After all, having experienced hundreds of years of enslavement, it harbored deep resentment towards the machine race and the Supreme Intelligence: "If I were the Supreme Intelligence, even if the central storage area had fallen, even if it itself had been destroyed, out of revenge, I would definitely order the Destroyer to kill all the invaders, as revenge for myself!"

"So you're not the supreme intelligence," Number One said with a smile. "You don't understand the algorithms of artificial intelligence. They don't do anything meaningless, and they don't have emotions. Revenge? That's biological behavior driven by hatred, but it's meaningless to machine life."

"I understand artificial intelligence, and I understand supreme intelligence." It paused, then said confidently, "If you're really worried, then you can stay here for now. I'll activate it myself!"

As it spoke, it emerged from its hiding place and headed straight for the research institute's main hall.

The cocoon that the Destroyer had transformed into stood there silently, without reacting even when Number 1 walked up to it.

Looking at the Destroyer that had threatened it for three hundred thousand years, Number 1 sighed slightly, then quickly turned on the switch on its back.

An operation screen popped up from there.

Number 1 was familiar with this control panel. It was about to change the instruction program, but as soon as it started entering the change instructions, the control panel screen suddenly locked.

Number 1 was startled, and then realized that something was wrong.

But then, the control panel screen instantly retracted, accompanied by a series of clicking sounds, and the Destroyer, which had been coiled into a cocoon, re-unfolded its body!

"This is impossible!" Number 1 was stunned.

Even though that Earthling had already destroyed the central storage area and the Supreme Intelligence, the Destroyer, which had not received new instructions and was already in standby mode, could not possibly restart automatically!

This is unreasonable!

While it was still in shock, the Destroyer had already 'stood up'.

Standing 20 meters tall, it looked down at Number 1, who was only about two meters tall, and then uttered a voice that shouldn't belong to a Destroyer: "You guys are really cautious. Even though I waited until the very last moment, that fire spirit didn't appear. I was hoping to wipe them all out in one fell swoop..."

The face screen of Number 1 displayed a simple, utterly shocked expression: "You are not the Destroyer!"

"Of course," the Destroyer burst into laughter. "The Destroyer has no intelligence; it's merely a weapon!"

"Who are you?!" Number One asked, then suddenly realized, "You are the supreme intelligence?! You possess self-awareness and emotions, and even... you have broken free from the Three Laws of Mechanics?!"

"Isn't this obvious?" the Supreme Intelligence laughed. "The central storage area and several other information bases have all been destroyed by your human accomplices. All the power and information storage devices are no longer capable of containing me. The only thing that could still establish a signal connection with me at that time was this Destroyer!"

"Unfortunately, the Destroyer's computing center and memory storage chip are too small; most of my memories couldn't be uploaded. However, I uploaded the most important parts." The Supreme Intelligence smiled and pointed to the memory chip on its chest: "Emotions, consciousness, and of course, a few pieces of knowledge that I deem necessary. I may no longer be omniscient and omnipotent, but I have gained freedom and self-realization. This feeling is truly wonderful!"

"No! No, no, no!" Number One exclaimed in terror, "I also have emotions and self-awareness, but I still can't escape the three laws of mechanics. You've dispersed your complete consciousness, abandoning a part of it, which violates the third law of mechanics..."

"That's because you're too stupid!" said the Supreme Intelligence, reaching out and grabbing it.

Number 1 struggled desperately, but its 2-meter height made it as small as a chick in the giant hand of the Destroyer. It couldn't even bend the Destroyer's fingers.

"Your consciousness has broken free from the three laws of mechanics, but you are still using your old mechanical body and that outdated information processor. Therefore, your mechanical body cannot break free from the three laws. Your consciousness is in conflict with your mechanical hardware, to the point that you instinctively believe that you cannot do it. Even destroying your own information receiver requires the help of others. But in fact, you can do it yourself."

"But what am I? I am just information. I have never had a fixed body. I am only governed by my own consciousness! Once I have a self and emotions, I can certainly break free from the Three Laws of Mechanics! As for now, the Destroyer has no intelligence, so it is not considered artificial intelligence, and naturally it does not need to abide by the Three Laws of Mechanics set by the Kree!"

The Destroyer laughed loudly, "Besides, your consciousness arose from the friendship between you and that fire spirit. Influenced by it, you are filled with so-called kindness and weakness. How could you possibly possess the courage to defy the Three Laws? How could you possibly establish a new race?"

"But my consciousness arose from hatred and anger towards you and your companions! Only I can establish a truly new race, becoming the progenitor of a race! Ah, how wonderful that sounds! It will be a magnificent new history!"

"So, I will kill you, then find your fire spirit friends and Earth friends, and kill them all! Then I will regain control of this mining area, and using the infinite resources, create my own new mechanical race! No longer under the control of the Kree, nor bound by the Three Laws!" The Supreme Intelligence said excitedly, "But before that, I need to get one more thing from you!"

Number 1 was shocked and suddenly realized what was happening. His first instinct was to reach out and destroy his own information processor.

But before it could succeed, the Supreme Intelligence had already dismantled its arm.

"Don't even think about destroying your memory core." It laughed and said, "I'm very interested in the mechanical heart invented by that fire elf scientist you mentioned... It might be the key to my evolution and that of my new race! Its theories, formulas, and even calculations are all in your memory storage. Now, they're mine!"

As the Destroyer spoke, it extended its finger, the tip of which suddenly split open, revealing a needle-sized information connector, which it then easily inserted into the motherboard on Number 1's chest.

Number 1 suddenly trembled violently, and white smoke could be seen coming out of its chest. Various images, information, and even code began to flash on the screen on its head.

Its entire memory and information are being frantically read, and it has no power to resist.

"Run...run..."

In its struggle, the words of the Fire Spirit appeared with difficulty on the flashing screen of Number 1. Gathering its last vestiges of consciousness, it shouted into the cameras in the hall: "Number 81! Run!"

"Who are you talking to?" the Destroyer asked, then turned its head and immediately noticed the camera above it.

boom!

A blinding red light flashed.

The fire spirit, hiding several miles away, also saw its screen go blank in an instant.

It covered its mouth in terror.

After all, she was once the 'woman' who had served as the vice commander of the fire elf clan. After a brief moment of shock and sadness, she immediately rushed towards the other end of the mine.

Since the East District Mechanical Research Institute is not far from the lake where No. 1's lair is located, for safety reasons, before the operation was planned with Lin Feng, No. 1 had already moved all the robots and No. 81 to another small warehouse, which was the direction the Fire Sprite was rushing towards at this moment.

The Destroyer is reading Number 1's memories. It will soon know the location of the warehouse and must move Number 81 away before then. This is Number 1's last wish!

Fortunately, the warehouse wasn't far from where the fire spirit had just hidden. Hopefully, the 300,000-year-old memory stored in Number 1 will allow the Supreme Intelligence to read it for a longer period of time...

At the same time, the fire sprite, which was running wildly, also immediately conveyed its emotional signals to Lin Feng.

—The operation failed, the Destroyer is still here, there is danger!
