NIKKE, the end of the world is coming, but the system is a hundred years late

At the beginning of the battle, Mo Changge spread the Laiche troops under his control onto the battlefield, and suddenly appeared when the battle started, catching the enemy Laiche off guard.

Even if Letcher's troops die, the remaining Pamish virus can infect the next Letcher.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to defend against thousands or tens of thousands of Letchers with just such a small number of Nikki troops.

As for the east and south, Mo Changge was not worried.

He has already dispatched the advance troops.

With the assistance of the advance troops, I believe it will not be difficult to defend.

The battle situation was similar to what Mo Changge had expected.

Although the fighting in the east and south was fierce, we managed to defend it without any danger.

However, Mo Changge had already taken off his clothes and started warming up.

Because it's his turn.

Mo Changge walked out of the command room.

Walking through the empty, deserted passage.

Arrived at the original western position.

The battlefield was full of potholes and filled with smoke. Letcher's corpse and broken fragments could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, Nikki's body and her arms and thighs that were blown off could be seen.

This shows the intensity of the battle.

On the front line.

As Letcher was repelled, Nikki had some time to catch her breath, rest, rescue the wounded, and transport weapons and ammunition.

As soon as Mo Changge arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of Nikki and the others.

Chapter 66: Universal Human Law, a Seed

"commander!"

The Nikkis immediately dropped what they were doing and saluted.

Mo Changge looked around at all the Nikkis.

Their faces were blackened by smoke, their bodies were covered with scars, some were missing arms and legs, and were barely holding up their bodies. The ferocious fighting was evident from their shocking injuries.

If it were a human, he would have died countless times.

The Nikkis looked at the commander in front of them with curiosity.

It was the first time for them to see the commander on the front line.

"Come here for a moment, I have something to talk to you about."

Mo Changge called them all over.

The Nikkis looked at each other, not understanding what he was going to do, but they still obeyed his orders and gathered around obediently.

Amid the puzzled looks of the Nikkis, Mo Changge spoke.

"You guys did a great job this time!"

The first words that Mo Changge said stunned the Nikkis.

"With your meager strength, poor firepower, and outdated weapons, you fought tenaciously and defeated a ferocious enemy that was several times your size."

The Nikkis looked at each other.

Mo Changge added: "You have completed your mission, fulfilled your promise to protect humanity, and practiced the ideal of protecting our homeland!"

There was confusion in Nikki's eyes.

No one has ever said these words to them.

Not only humans, but even they themselves think that they are just tools.

It is a disposable consumable.

"Each of you is a hero in this battle."

"It was your selfless dedication and risking your life that saved the outpost behind us, thus avoiding the fate of being destroyed by Letcher."

Nikki was stunned as she listened, and they looked at each other, feeling that they were becoming less and less able to understand.

Is he talking about himself?

Nikki was never taken seriously.

In the eyes of the public, they are the ones who support them with taxes and are their breadwinners.

Defeating the enemy is a matter of course, so naturally there will be no praise or reward.

"You are the heroes who took back the ground, and you are the future and hope of mankind!"

Mo Changge looked around at Nikki, seeing the faces that looked the same, and said loudly.

"Perhaps someone has told you that you are a commodity, a serial number, an insignificant consumable item."

"So, your personalities, hobbies, and thoughts are all unimportant. You just need to obey orders."

Mo Changge paused and took a deep breath.

"But I want to tell you, every one of you."

"Each of you is unique!"

Mo Changge's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, the mass-produced Nikki is just a failed work, a product of failed transformation, even worse than ordinary Nikki. Some of them don’t even have a brain, but are just robots with backup data and set programs.

This was mentioned in the crossover story with NieR: Automata.

It was just a weapon created to fight Letcher.

Replace it when it dies and throw it away after use.

Others say that once humans defeat Letcher and retake the Earth, Nikki will be of no use and should be directly recycled and destroyed.

But to Mo Changge, it was totally wrong!

Of course, in the eyes of the general public, mass-produced Nikkis are of a lower status than ordinary Nikkis, because they have no brains, no thoughts, but just set, stereotyped programs.

However, what people don’t know is that they already have their own thoughts from the moment they are born.

Anyone who has his own thoughts is an independent individual.

Just like the YoRHa unit in NieR: Automata.

Could it be that artificial humans have no emotions?

Absolutely not.

Gradually, the Nikkis were attracted by Mo Changge's words, and some of them listened in trance.

No one had ever told them these words.

It wasn’t like the outpost was without a commander before.

But they did not treat Nikki as an individual at all, but only used her as a punching bag, beating and scolding her on a daily basis, deliberately sending Nikki to her death for their own amusement.

There were even some heartless commanders who forged a report of Nikki's death, secretly sold her to the underground black market, and disassembled her into parts to sell for money.

Although many of them have been confirmed to be rumors, they are not groundless.

But now, after hearing these words, Nikki's despairing mood began to fluctuate.

It felt like my efforts were recognized.

It also seems that my life has value.

Finally someone recognized them.

Some of Nikki's eyes even turned red.

When Mo Changge saw Nikki wiping her tears, he suddenly understood why in the original novel, the commander just affirmed Madden's value and she fell in love with the commander all of a sudden.

It seems abrupt, but it is actually the result of long-term oppression.

same.

Not all Nikki believed it.

Mo Changge also saw the look of disdain and extreme disgust.

"I know that most of you will not agree with me when I say this. You will think that this is just a nice talk to make us willing to fight to our death."

Mo Changge said in a deep voice.

"So, as the supreme commander of the outpost, I have decided to enact a new law, the Universal Human Law."

Universal human law?

The Nikkis looked at each other.

Question marks popped up in my head.

what is this?

Mo Changge looked around and raised his arms and said loudly: "Everyone with thoughts, whether it is Nikki, a mass-produced type, or an intelligent mechanical creature, can be regarded as an independent individual."

“Have the same rights as human citizens.”

"From now on, any act that harms Nikki will be considered a crime against an equal human being and will be punished by law!"

The tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

The enactment of the law was not just a whim of Mo Changge.

The outpost needed not only a physical transformation, but also a spiritual one.

In fact, this idea came into Mo Changge's mind shortly after he came to this world.

This is also why when he met with Anderson, he asked for the highest power of the outpost, including legislation.

As soon as these words came out.

All the Nikkis present were stunned.

What is he talking about?

Why can't you understand?

And, citizens of humanity?

Just kidding!

Some Nikki was ecstatic.

But instead of believing it, Nikki became even more suspicious.

Could this guy in front of me be here to play a prank on me?

Nikki even suspected Mo Changge's identity as the commander.

He's not a liar, is he?

Mo Changge noticed Nikki's suspicious look.

I know that this matter cannot be rushed and can only be done slowly.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"Please wait and see how this is done!"

These words can't change anything.

At most, it can only plant a seed in the hearts of these mass-produced Nikkis.

Nikki's eyes had changed. They were no longer as gray and numb as before. Now there was a hint of hope in them.

Mo Changge didn't expect that Nikki and the others would bow down to him just by saying a few words.
