Marvel Magic Case Files

Chapter 418 Cunning Humans (First Update)

Artificial intelligence has begun to learn from and imitate humans, but the cunning unique to humans is something it cannot yet learn. Perhaps given more time, artificial intelligence could also learn Salomon's sharp tongue and biting sarcasm, but for now, faced with external pressure and the power demonstrated by Salomon, artificial intelligence has temporarily succumbed.

Salomon is the most cunning human the AI ​​has ever encountered. He agreed to help the AI ​​solve the problem, but only after the android army has undergone a certain period of training. While reviewing the materials needed for his thesis, Salomon also checked the information the AI ​​had retrieved about an organization called "Always Vigilant." The text and images on the two screens flashed by at an extremely fast speed, but Salomon did not miss a single word.

As his workload increased, Salomon was forced to activate his Stigmata.

As is well known, Salomon receives a massive influx of information after activating a Stigmata. However, after repeatedly processing those memories, they become sediment within his own memory, allowing him to quickly absorb and learn the information at hand. Unless he activates a new Stigmata to acquire higher-level magical knowledge and memories, he can still free up his mind to focus on other things.

While this method was extremely efficient, Salomon disliked it when he was in school; he preferred to learn slowly. Learning with the aid of Holy Marks gave him a profound sense of emptiness, making him feel out of place among ordinary humans.

"My soldiers are not executors to be consumed at will." Salomon glanced at the paper in the Nature Astronomy sub-journal on the front screen, ignoring the protests from the artificial intelligence on the holographic projection table to his left. Although the text on the screen to his right was scrolling down, he hadn't missed the detailed information about the members of the "Always Vigilant" organization.

Previously, this screen displayed the theoretical work of Maya Hansen and Princess Shuri on genetic modification. Salomon was in charge of alchemy, Princess Shuri was in charge of science, and Maya Hansen was in charge of integrating the two technologies. This was a massive project; the research results had already filled a 200TB hard drive, and the data generated before human trials began could potentially fill a wardrobe.

Even with only three Stigmata activated, it's easy to keep track of so much information at the same time.

"Their strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, but even so, they still need to undergo military training before they can be used." Salomon unconsciously became a little colder after activating his Stigmata. He said in an undeniable tone, "No one can go into battle without training, especially since they have only been out of the incubation tank for a few days. Don't worry, the training period required for androids is very short, so there's no need to worry about them not being able to catch up."

Immediately afterwards, Salomon's expression turned somewhat strange.

He knew the androids were absolutely loyal, but he also knew that some androids had disturbing moral boundaries. He initially thought this reminder from his memories was an overreaction, since he hadn't found anything unsettling about Dinah. But perhaps Dinah had finally found her kindred spirits; the android army, only a few days old, began exchanging opinions about their creator in private after learning to speak.

More radical androids want to stay by Salomon's side and attack any creature that gets close to Salomon, not even cats or ants can approach their creator; some even more radical androids are thinking about having reproductive activities with their creator; and some androids have proposed using the building materials of the Immortal City to build a temple for Salomon, paint paintings and carve reliefs to praise the glory of their creator. This group of androids is led by Dina and they intend to put it into practice.

This greatly displeased Princess Shuri, who was planning to equip the android army with vehicles at Salomon's request.

Although she didn't know where these girls came from, their hoarding of building materials greatly hampered the progress of restoring the Immortal City. The matter was eventually resolved by Salomon's ruling—he forbade the android legions from praising him in any form, and repeatedly emphasized discipline and mission to them. To appease these fanatical androids, Salomon granted them the right to personalize their armor without affecting its performance, and allowed them to form their own groups for coordinated tactical maneuvers.

Even the little black cat that Bastet sent became a pet of the android army.

However, video footage alone is insufficient for the android legions to learn how to fight. Once their weapons, equipment, and vehicles are finalized, a dedicated combat system needs to be designed. Salomon is capable of this task, but he is unsure of its effectiveness in actual combat. The worst-case scenario is that it becomes impractical and useless, like the Great Song Dynasty battle formation diagrams, while overly loyal androids might disregard the actual situation and enforce it, resulting in massive casualties.

This is something Salomon didn't want to see; his military theories were based on ancient tactics taught by Athena. If he were thrown into the era of cold weapons, he might be able to command a combined land and sea army, but the knowledge he had learned was not suitable for modern warfare.

Therefore, Salomon needed an instructor with experience in legion warfare to guide the androids and revise his compiled instruction manual. The Punisher was originally Salomon's preferred candidate, but Frank Cassel disregarded Salomon, so he had to recruit retired officers.

"Just wait a little longer, and soon a large number of talented people will be joining us," Salomon thought.

For so many years, S.H.I.E.L.D. has only taken without taking anything in return and still hasn't been able to complete its work. In fact, the director has even led the way in colluding with alien shapeshifting parasites. Salomon has no intention of letting S.H.I.E.L.D. off so easily.

The loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, led by Agent Victoria Hand, will suffer heavy losses in the upcoming Hydra rebellion. Salomon will then recruit the best S.H.I.E.L.D. action and command teams. Even some Hydra agents may be recruited by Salomon—he personally harbors no ill will towards Hydra, and Hydra agents perform their S.H.I.E.L.D. duties more effectively and efficiently than loyal agents. Furthermore, the conflict between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra is a matter of secular society, and Salomon has no reason to interfere.

This recruitment plan has been printed out by artificial intelligence, and both loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Hydra agents are on the list. Detailed information has been provided on the personality traits of these individuals. Salomon has also used prophetic magic to foresee their fates; he will appear at the right time and place to assist them and recruit them into the Immortal City.

Salomon glanced at the message Diana had sent him on her computer. The document contained not only the insignia designed by the Homunculus Legion and the decorations to be added to the armor, but also a deep red robe they had added to the armor, mimicking Salomon's appearance while wearing the red shroud.

Besides this, the document also contained a variety of information, including the live-fire training and close-combat performance of the named android sisters. The arcane mage glanced around the room, then casually closed the chat window and the holographic projection of the artificial intelligence, without continuing to read.

This maid is getting more and more arrogant!

He didn't design those incredibly sexy clothes for androids to take selfies!

The android maid has completely mastered Salomon's little quirks.

This won't do; Salomon must demonstrate the dignity of a creator!
