Great, we're doomed now!

"【Elena】analyzed and collected your behavioral patterns and thought processes, which is why she is more human than her predecessors."

Most of what M·A left behind was combat data, firsthand information, but that wasn't enough to truly understand you. That's why the puppet AIs later entered the internal database of the Tower of Babel, accessing information about you and gradually filling in the gaps, ultimately giving birth to Elena.

"That's correct... Is there a problem?"

Of course!

It learns about you from a wealth of documents and video recordings, so it will inevitably be influenced by 'perspective,' just as someone accustomed to watching movies will unconsciously accept some of the ideas expressed by directors and actors, or even completely immerse themselves in the characters.

Lucy's eyes gleamed with a strange light, making Ye Shou quite uncomfortable.

"Guess who left almost all the records related to you in the Tower of Babel?"

"It must be someone I've had a lot of contact with, like the 72nd Pilot?"

"Of course, but not everyone enjoys writing—who keeps a diary?"

Lucy laughed happily: "The person who stayed the most was Birdwin, followed by Ruri!"

"..."

"The first sources Elena came into contact with were actually the 'Records of the Sacred Words of Kuse' and 'My Most Benevolent and Beautiful Master'!"

"..."

Okay, now I know why she was so crazy!

The twenty-day dungeon time limit was quickly up, and Ye Shou returned to the main world for a while, but a new cycle began in less than two days.

He glanced at the new system card briefly, deciding that there were no valuable entries in this card themed "Business Skills," but still managed to get a few for free before hurriedly returning to the world of "Iron Blood."

Here, everything gradually settled down, and as everyone began to look forward to the future, the almost forgotten pilgrimage of the Calamity Ritual began.

This was originally going to be a major event that would involve both the political and military circles, but after a series of unexpected events, people no longer pay much attention to it—after all, there was a pilgrimage there not long ago!

However, Babel took this pilgrimage very seriously, mobilizing the media to promote it, and it quickly returned to the public eye.

This pilgrimage was initiated by the Martian girl "Gudaria," who will represent the Martians as they embark on a massive commemorative fleet from Mars.

All the ship's hulls were painted in a solemn black and silver, symbolizing mourning for the dead and remembering history...

The fleet's route was different from previous ones. It first headed towards Titan, and upon reaching the planet's orbit, the MS forces of the Knights of Askeladd took over the escort mission.

Olga, Mikazuki, and their companions flew silently (tensely) alongside the pilgrimage fleet, their gun barrels and heads slightly lowered, expressing their respect in this solemn manner and establishing their duty of protection.

The fleet made a brief stop on Titan, not only to "pay tribute to the ancestors" but also to mourn the lives lost in the turmoil... before setting off again, heading towards the Earth-Moon system.

The pilgrimage fleet swept across the ravaged lunar surface, where the forcibly repositioned fragment remained a stark reminder of the devastation.

They held a brief moment of silence in Earth's orbit, together with the remaining fleet, to commemorate the victims of the Ephesian War three hundred years ago, and also to mourn the lives lost in this conspiracy.

After landing on Earth and circumnavigating the globe from Sydney, the fleet, following a series of major events, finally completed its mission and embarked on its journey back to Mars.

At the end of the pilgrimage, a grand closing ceremony was held in a Martian city.

The platform was bustling with people, while representatives from various parties stood quietly atop the aircraft high above.

First, Gudaria delivered a speech on "love and peace, tolerance and trust." Unlike the character in the "original story" who experienced numerous separations and deaths and eventually transformed into a mature politician, this young girl is still very young. However, her passion has not changed, and it is believed that she will continue to move forward in the future, which is quite gratifying.

After the [Pilgrimage to Calamity] officially ended, Agunica Cayel, the elder, stepped forward to take the opportunity to announce something to the world.

"We have just ended a war, which was both an ugly struggle between people and a punishment from God... We remember the sacrifices of the past and mourn the dead of today."

His voice was deep and clear, carrying throughout the square through the loudspeaker.

"Conflict and ambition have once again caused countless lives to perish. This is our failure and a lesson we must remember."

He paused slightly, and a heavy silence filled the air. Everyone seemed to realize what he was about to do, so besides being speechless, they were mostly shocked.

"The old era has passed, and the new era needs new leaders."

Old Agnucca continued, glancing to his side: "Hereby, I declare—"

I will be relinquishing my position as the chief of the inner ring of the Tower of Babel!

Then, on my recommendation, and with unanimous approval from the inner circle…McGillis Falid was appointed to this position!

Wow~

This statement immediately caused a stir in the audience:

It would be one thing to pass it on to a young man, but McGillis... is not only the first "Agunica" outside the Cayel family, he himself is also a clone!

It's absolutely unprecedented for clones to assume such an important role... Does this mean that clones will be granted more human rights from now on?

Going even further, could gene modification and prosthetic modification also be appropriately permitted?

It is said that "that person" hopes that humanity can move towards the universe and not be trapped in the solar system, so there must be a series of policy reforms, right?

And then there are the rumored killing AIs that haven't completely disappeared... The future is still full of uncertainties, making it both exciting and nerve-wracking!

McGillis stepped forward, his blond hair fluttering slightly in the Martian wind, his face calm but his eyes revealing undisguised joy.

“I accept this responsibility,” McGillis said with a smile, his voice not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I will not promise lasting peace; that would be a disregard for reality, and we have suffered enough in this regard."

All I can promise is to do everything in my power to prevent unnecessary sacrifices from happening again!

Wow~

Loud applause erupted from the stands.

"The meaning of power lies in protection, not domination." He nodded slightly. "The road ahead will undoubtedly be full of challenges, but I will face them together with you all!"

Wow~

The words were concise, and unlike many politicians, there was no impassioned oath. The ceremony ended in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

But as everyone knows, a new era is quietly dawning...

-

As the sun sets, it paints the sky a warm orange hue.

In the pure white garden, countless slender crosses cast long shadows on the ground, which, if not for their low height, would resemble a silent forest.

The air was slightly cool, carrying the fresh scent of grass and sea breeze. This was a war cemetery not far from the coastline.

Ye Shou walked alone, his steps light. He passed through rows of tombstones, finally stopping in front of the row of statues and standing before Agnica.

The statue's facial features appeared exceptionally serene under the soft light, as if it might speak at any moment.

Ye Shou sometimes sighed and sometimes smiled, standing there silently for a while without saying a word.

A moment later, he took out a flower from inside his trench coat. The flower was probably not a native species of Earth. Its petals were a deep blue like the starry sky, with subtle silver shimmering at the edges, emitting a faint but clear halo in the darkening twilight.

—When he first came to this place, he met a little girl who offered this to Agnica and the others.

Ye Shou bent down and placed the flowers in front of the statue's base. The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded from him, and the sky changed from orange-red to a deep dark blue. The first morning star quietly lit up the sky.

Time flew by in that moment. Ye Shouming felt that it hadn't been long, but when he came to his senses, night had fallen and the sky was full of stars.

The cool starlight replaced the warm sunset, shining on the statue and the solitary glowing flower, making them appear even more charming—now you can understand why this flower is so expensive.

“I have done my best, everyone.”

—Agunica did not let Ye Shou down, and Ye Shou did not let anyone down either!

The man nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the row of statues as if bidding farewell. He then turned and walked back the way he came, his figure gradually merging into the starlight.

As he walked out of the cemetery and into an open area, a low, mournful howl echoed through the night sky—

A silver meteor streaked across the night sky, trailing a blue flame, and landed precisely and steadily in front of him. Apart from stirring up some dust, it caused no damage, and the heavy machine made only a muffled, slight thud when it hit the ground.

[Bayeri] knelt on the ground, his eyes seemingly meeting Ye Shou's gaze... The armor on his chest slid open silently, revealing the entrance to the cockpit.

Ye Shou did not turn around, but stepped directly onto the outstretched mechanical hand and entered the cabin.

boom!

The next second, the silver demon's eyes lit up with a deep blue light, and the thrusters on its back spewed out dazzling lumens.

In an instant, it shot up from the ground, transforming into a silver streak that tore through the tranquil night sky, and vanished in the blink of an eye...

【Ding! 】

[Destiny Coins (Tekkadan, McGillis, Kodiri, Galio...)]

+77!

P.S.: I'm going back to the Olympic studio tomorrow, so I'll try to take one photo each in the morning, afternoon, and evening to keep everyone from staying up late—I also need to adjust myself o(*￣︶￣*)o

Volume 7: The Glorious Day of Birth

Chapter 275: The Visitor Came from Thirty Million Years Ago (4K)

To posterity:

Today marks the third anniversary of Gagarin's entry into space, and we have erected a 107-meter-tall monument as a historical landmark.

This era is very interesting; I'm sure your era is full of surprises too!

I believe you have united as one and have beautifully developed our blue planet, explored the moon, landed on Mars, and continue to venture into the universe.

Has the spacecraft already left the Milky Way? Has it already engaged in scientific and cultural exchanges with representatives of other planetary civilizations?

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!

"Today, as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, I am chairing this meeting and speaking to the representatives of all mankind about the future, which will determine the development path for the next one or two hundred years. I feel extremely honored to play a role in this process."

Soichiro Sawai stood on the podium of the United Nations General Assembly and solemnly delivered a declaration to more than 1,300 representatives from all walks of life.

"But putting aside personal honors, as a middle-aged or elderly man born during the Cold War and living in the 21st century, my life has been filled with many pivotal historical moments."

East and West were once divided into two worlds, connected only by a thin spider silk, and between them hung nuclear weapons capable of regressing human civilization to the Stone Age.

An entire generation was filled with despair, choosing self-exile in the face of an uncertain future. In that turbulent late twentieth century, the clash of ideas and cultures left the world at a loss, and the generation was known as the "Beat Generation"... I myself was one of them.

That is why I stand here today, with immense excitement and joy, to announce to the world—
