Gundam: From Piece to Player

This makes it difficult for ancient civilizations to launch wave after wave of offensives. Anyone with a basic understanding of warfare knows that if a continuous and fierce offensive cannot be launched, the battle will become a stalemate.

In an ancient facility somewhere in Earth's mantle, the bespectacled, bald AI narrowed its eyes dangerously and muttered to itself, "Is that machine in the sky the commander's machine?"

"It seems that this is the target we need to take down first, and we need to start the final stage to deal with it."

These 10 units were not manufactured later, but were limited-edition Turn A units personally crafted by an ancient civilization. With their powerful output, they shot directly from the Earth's surface into space, heading straight for Kalmar.

"Senior, the enemy is here!"

"receive."

"Senior, is Alice's operation okay?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine... If we can't hack it, we can just unplug the power ourselves."

Faced with 20 charging Reverse A units, Karma summoned 10 Unicorns to intercept them—not powered by antimatter, but by the Mifurnace engine used by the group of ten 60 years ago.

With the help of the humanoid AI inside, using a mental sensing framework, the machine's performance was barely increased by 100 times. Although it only lasted for 5 minutes, considering its survival time, this might be a bit too long.

Using 10 Mythical Beasts to intercept 10 Reverse A Gundams, the result was predictable: one was destroyed in just the first minute of the battle. The ancient civilization's AI, seeing that the opponent's AI was particularly weak and there was no risk of detonation, began to hack and analyze it—and the result was predictable: the 10 Unicorns were instantly taken over by the opponent.

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Karma drove the Gunbuster into sublight speed and temporarily escaped. Reverse A also tried to intercept him with quantum jump, but found that the surrounding quantum ocean had become unstable.

A forced jump could result in being torn apart.

When the bald AI destroyed previous civilizations, it had never seen an enemy with such a comprehensive technological tree, and it began to think deeply.

The conclusion drawn from deep thinking is that intrusion is necessary—to obtain more intelligence.

So, the 10 Reverse A Gundams approached the 10 Unicorn Gundams and began to erode the machines with their condensed nanomachine tentacles. After obtaining information, they withdrew the nanomachines.

Unaware that the nanomachines that had been stored in the Unicorn Gundam's storage area had also infiltrated the area—these were nanomachine cells from the Reverse X, and they all carried portions of Alice's fragmented consciousness.

Nine of them came to capture Karma, while one of them brought the intelligence back to the branch base it had released. Amidst the spread of various information, a virus called "Starry Sky" was multiplying through the "? system".

Two hours later, the address of the main control computer was found through reverse tracing.

Normally, a simple self-check would reveal any abnormalities.

However, the system is currently operating at overload – the main AI feels like it has returned to the time when it was fighting against extraterrestrial civilizations, which is completely different from the low-level battles of annihilating other era civilizations in the past.

"Anna, do you think AI is particularly stupid?"

"Why do you say that?"

"The Trojan horse has been used many times, so why does it work again and again?"

Anna paused for a moment, then thought for a moment: "I think it's because of the intelligence gap. We have more intelligence, so we can manipulate it at will."

"Then why are we able to obtain more intelligence?"

"Because we are both time travelers, one of us traveled back to the past and the other traveled to another world... It's time to end this."

"really."

The controlling AI suddenly realized that the forces in front of it were retreating rapidly.

He saw more than 100 light sails projected from all parts of the solar system being launched from the Kuiper Belt and accelerating toward Earth's South Pole.

Based on the assessment, it may be carrying antimatter type weapons.

He knew that his command post had probably been exposed.

The AI ​​lacked the emotion of sadness, allowing the Reverse A Gundam to use Moonlight Butterflies to form an interception net. However, interception has its limits; they intercepted 78 missiles in outer space and 20 in the atmosphere.

One of the last two missiles was intercepted by the Antarctic ice sheet, while the remaining one was intercepted by the command center.

The AI ​​rubbed its bald head and finally let out a helpless sigh: "Since you're so eager to go to outer space, then go ahead."

Amidst the AI's exclamations, the center of the [? system] was launched into the sky by the warhead attached to the light sail.

This is not actually an antimatter weapon, but simply a nuclear weapon encased in strong force molecules.

More than 3000 subsystems on the ground also shut down, including many hovering machines that crashed into the ocean and land, while others landed in abandoned cities that had already been relocated.

Cheers erupted from the communication channel.

Meanwhile, Karma and Anna opened the cockpit and watched the "victory fireworks" being set off across the solar system from space. They were launched from the air by battleships and mobile suits; those guys must be using combat ammunition...

Forget about them, let's just ignore them. We can afford to waste some money today, as long as we're careful.

I just checked the casualty situation on the battlefield. Although some people's bodies were destroyed and the mental pulses generated by the impact damaged their brains, most people were unharmed.

Now that one goal has been achieved, what should the next goal be?

Karma was somewhat dazed.

“Senior, why don’t we plan an interstellar trip?” Anna said, looking at him.

"I think we should take a break." Karma touched the Earth with her hand; at this distance, the Earth looked as small as a human's palm.

It's been 80 years since I last visited Earth, and I really want to go back and take a look.

It would also be good to rearrange affairs on Earth.

"Anna, what do you think about the Earth Federation and the New Federation forming a joint government?"

"I have no objection if they are willing."

Just then, a call came in from Elisa.

"Brother, there's something I need you to know."

"What's wrong, Haiwen?"

"After the area outside the boundary marker was destroyed, many spaceships arrived one after another."

"The aliens have really come?" Karma immediately tensed up.

"They said they were human survivors who left Earth many years ago and reproduced. They detected the disappearance of the [System], and they asked us if the [System] had malfunctioned."

"Reply to them that the [System] has been destroyed."

Karma said, "On behalf of humanity today, welcome them home!"
