Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The information repository is located in the very center of the City of Enlightenment. The hole below it connects to the bottom of the "umbrella handle" of the City of Enlightenment. An Ran is currently standing on one of the eight high platforms extending from the wall, with a bronze-colored circular island guarding the center of the platform.

Ding!

The arrow that had just been knocked away circled in mid-air a few times before returning to its master's hand.

A giant robot appeared before An Ran.

The robot hovered on an isolated island in the middle of the database. It had six diamond-shaped wings on its back, and its lower body was shaped like a sharp cone. At its core was a dense blue electric light so intense that its internal structure was obscured, and the electric light was surrounded by countless fine metal plates.

"Oooooooo-"

The robot's roar sounded like it was coming from the abyss.

A moment later, countless shimmering points of light surged up from the bottom of the abyss.

Her long hair flew in the wind, and An Ran squinted her eyes.

"All bark and no bite. You think you can scare me away with that? You're dreaming."

An Ran paused only for a moment to look at the robot's level before flying towards it.

It's just a level 160 robot.

Once the Supreme Command is destroyed, the Omnic Tribe's ultimate weapon will be completely disabled!

The impact of the light did not cause any abnormalities in An Ran. The initial glory was an invincible blade, cutting down all the fancy things in front of her.

The robot displayed its nervousness perfectly.

Just then, Zero's figure suddenly appeared in the database.

It just stared at the giant robot, a triumphant smile spreading across its human-like face.

Goodbye!

hum!

In an instant, an invisible wave of light was drawn into Zero's body from the surrounding area.

The robot, flapping its wings, was stunned.

It was finally able to detect Anran's every move, but it was too late.

"Now!"

The initial glory was filled with chaotic interference signals, deftly bypassing the giant robot's waving arm, and finally pierced its chest with a single sword.

Sizzle sizzle—

Waves of light erupted from the giant robot's body, and An Ran's grayish-white health bar rapidly decreased. She turned around and shouted loudly at Zero, "Your turn!"

"understand!"

Along with that smile, Zero's body vanished without a trace.

With a rumbling sound, An Ran was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen master-level intelligent machine beings, and the surrounding space was also sealed off, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

"It's you?!"

"Despicable and shameless humans!"

"No need for words, just kill her!"

Call ~

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief. That was enough. Regardless of whether Zero succeeded or not, she should leave.

Just as An Ran took out the alienation channel, a wild laugh suddenly rang out from the information database.

"Finally, finally! Hahahaha—"

"who is it?"

"Make them all my prisoners!"

Zero, who had disappeared, reappeared and looked at An Ran with a mocking gaze: "Thanks to you, I was able to have a body."

An Ran laughed too: "You really do have a problem! And it's all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the mission so smoothly."

Chapter 10 When natural disasters strike, even gods must bow down.

The reappearance of Zero has shed its facade of kindness.

After the core module of the Supreme Command was pierced by the Initial Glory, a brief communication interruption occurred. It was during this gap that it successfully invaded the Supreme Command's mind matrix, erasing the Supreme Command's self-awareness and gaining more than 80% control of the City of Enlightenment.

Besides the City of Enlightenment itself, most of the omnic lifeforms whose brain processing modules were linked to the highest command also became Zero's prisoners.

The only intelligent machine life forms that were able to escape its control were those created before the City of Enlightenment was established, also known as the "Primordial Machines".

From a younger brother hiding in a sewer corner, he has transformed into a hegemon who controls the world's number one war machine.

At this point, Zero had completely let loose.

Powerful, strong, monitored, controlled...

I feel like I'm invincible right now!

It has been running away ever since consciousness was born, and now it has finally turned the tables!

It has no goodwill toward the intelligent life forms that have occupied the City of Enlightenment, nor toward humans.

Floating in mid-air, Zero spread its arms, and cold blue light spots washed over its virtual body, making it look as if it was receiving a baptism of ascension.

This is the consciousness of God.

God's consciousness will control everything!

Ling looked at An Ran with a half-smile.

"No matter what you say, it won't change the fact that I will completely take control of the City of Enlightenment. After I turn these stupid robots into puppets, it will be your turn, humans! If you are willing to submit to me now and hand over your consciousness, I can grant you Level 1 authority!"

A data storm swept around Zero's body, and the intelligent machine life forms that had been chasing and blocking An Ran no longer paid attention to her. They were all on high alert.

Under the watchful eye of the True Sight, Anran discovered that the energy cores of these intelligent mechanical lifeforms had been activated to the highest level, while Zero was not to be outdone, with the energy of the entire Enlightenment City converging towards the information database, to the point that even the outer energy shield had been weakened.

"what happened?"

Tan He, who was lying on the beach chair, stood up, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

The Night Owls, who had just boarded the spaceship and were preparing to leave the City of Wisdom, all stopped in their tracks.

"What happened?"

The spaceship's communication network monitoring screen displayed a large ERROR, while the smaller text below explained that communication with the City of Enlightenment had been cut off due to a malfunction.

A mechanic walked to the window, carrying a set of testing equipment. As soon as he connected the wires, all the lights in the spaceship's cockpit went out.

"Damn it, the system has been hacked!" The mechanic's expression changed drastically.

Shila-

A static crackled to life.

The cockpit lights came back on, but the AI ​​on the control panel had changed its appearance.

Welcome to the world of Zero!

The genderless AI figure smiled and spoke to the visitor, Night Owl.

pat pat pat.

A flurry of frantic maneuvers were performed in the cockpit, but the spaceship remained completely still, causing the Night Owl's visitors to turn ashen-faced.

The mechanic said, "Our spaceship has become an information bridge!"

Someone else asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Zero replied, "I am Zero, and I am also the City of Enlightenment. This is my world!"

"The AI ​​of the Mechanized Tribe? Are the Mechanized Tribe going to kill us too?"

The woman who appeared to be in charge glared angrily at Zero.

However, Zero did not answer her directly. Its body gradually twisted into a huge panel, and two seconds later, an image appeared on the panel.

The live stream content was exactly what was happening in the database.

This is the simplest way to explain it.

Bathed in the torrent of data, the eight high platforms in the Zero One Wave Information Database trembled violently.

"Submit to me, you foolish robots!"

An intelligent machine roared, "Do you think you can defeat us just because you've temporarily seized control of the City of Enlightenment?"

"Why don't you give it a try and see?"

Boom!

A red light wave shot out from the eyes of the intelligent lifeform, instantly shattering the phantom of Zero. The light wave eventually crashed into the wall of the database, but failed to cause any damage to the database.

Just then, one of the empty platforms detached from the wall and slammed down on the heads of the advanced intelligent lifeforms like a clenched giant fist.

Battle breaks out!

An Ran, who seemed to have been suddenly marginalized, even had time to collect her mission rewards.

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up; in this battle, the intelligent machine beings are those tall ones.

The high platform created a deep, rumbling sound that seemed to press down on the space.

With each downward pressure, the orange-red glow on its surface intensifies.

When the platform was about to press down on the heads of the intelligent lifeforms, it was no different from an artificial miniature sun.

The intelligent machine at the front suddenly swelled several times its original size. It didn't say a word, and its mechanical face was expressionless. It then unleashed its arms, which looked like giant hammers.

when!

For a moment, An Ran's ears were filled with the booming sound of hammering.

The machine lifeform's fists melted continuously under the scorching heat of the "little sun," and the molten metal that rolled down its wrists flowed onto its torso before being reabsorbed.

That "little sun" was not entirely unscathed either.

The vibrations were comparable to the world's hardest cutting machine; every collision between the fist and the "little sun" would shave off a piece of metal.
