NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

"Do you want to go in too?"

"..."

"To ensure the safety of the Ark, I will send them all to the surface."

"Okay, in that case, I'll help you clean up the mess."

Laby and Dorothy also entered the elevator.

The two Nikkis and the three monsters took the elevator and rose rapidly into the sky.

And dozens of seconds later, accompanied by an explosion from the sky, Alnik finally put an end to this bloody battle.

"The heretics Nihilista, Indiviliya, and Chaos have left the Ark."

"The Pilgrims and Nikki Rabi of the counterattack force are currently missing, but there's a very high chance they're still alive. Commander, please come here." Anik suddenly issued an order, but Green, distracted, ignored her. "I need to go find Rabi. I don't have time to argue with you, Anik."

"You've been through several battles in a row and are exhausted."

"According to my calculations, with the pilgrims' help, the two on the ground are not in danger of death. Just now, the power they unleashed far surpassed that of the heretics. Even if they can't kill them, they can still escape unscathed."

“So, please come here.”

.......

at the same time.

When Labigan repelled the heretics, all the important figures of the Ark gathered at Anik and talked with them one by one.

The first to enter was Burnim.

Although the Ark does have a chief commander, for some unknown reason, the chief commander does not often show up, so the more important national defense work on weekdays is handled by the deputy commander.

Burnim pondered for a moment, feeling something was amiss. "Anik, don't you find this strange? Nihilista arrived right after the Ark was blown up, and right after she arrived, the pilgrim Dorothy set foot here. And after she left for the MMR Research Institute, Xiaocao and Indivilla were resurrected."

"Although it's accidental, it's all too coincidental..."

"Do you think Dorothy and Nihilista would have teamed up a long time ago?"

Anik stared at Burnim. Even though the Ark had just been through a bloody battle, her voice remained flat and lacked the necessary emotional fluctuations. "Considering the current situation, it's very likely that the two sides have joined forces. It's also possible that both sides aim to overthrow the Ark and are therefore using each other for their own benefit."

"However, there is currently no definitive evidence that there is a collaborative relationship between the two."

"I see. Thanks for your advice."

Burnim thought the talks were over.

Unexpectedly, Anik was not satisfied and made her request: "I have a suggestion. After this incident, it has been proven that the Ark's defensive armament is clearly insufficient. The automatic anti-letcher weapons built within the Ark are useless in emergencies. The Ark is now in urgent need of a powerful armed force that can respond to various emergencies. Therefore, I propose to create Nikki."

Burnim was stunned for a moment. "Creating Nikki? This...we usually do it."

Anik replied, "My suggestion is to create Nikki, designed and operated by me. The information needed to create Nikki is sufficient, and with your approval, it will only take a week to complete."

“How many do you plan to make?”

"Two."

"What's the reason?"

"Similar to the situation just now, the Ark needs overwhelming firepower to deal with various emergencies."

Burnim considered the key point.

While it's possible to let AI control Nikki, there are still many dangerous factors involved. For example, will the AI be corrupted? Will the AI betray? After possessing a body, will the AI still follow the programming and favor humans as before?

Due to various concerns, Ark has almost never considered giving AI a powerful body. At most, it is designed to look like a robot to help with some odd jobs. As for fighting, it can be left to the cheaper Nikki.

But now, in this catastrophe, the death toll, both of Nikki and of humanity, has risen to an unprecedented number.

It turns out that the Ark is not safe.

Even people in the upper class cannot help but feel worried and afraid about their future.

After pondering the pros and cons for a while, Burnim finally made up his mind. "Very good, I approve. Too many people died in this incident, including Nikki. We must prepare more defenses, the more the better."

"Thank you for your approval, Deputy Commander Burnim."

"I have something else to take care of, Annick. I'm leaving now."

Burnim turned and left.

After a few seconds of silence, Anik began to call the next person who needed a face-to-face meeting.

"Then next up is Missilis' Chief Technology CEO, Shuen."

"Please come here and be judged."

Chapter 4200: Alnic: Turning Shuen into Nikki ()

Shu En had just woken up from the ICU when Anik called her. She walked into Anik's room, filled with rage. As soon as she entered, she stomped her feet and yelled, "What did you just say? Judge me?!"

Maybe the movement was too big and pulled the wound.

Shu En touched the wound on his head and screamed in pain, groaning in agony: "Ugh, uh, uh, it hurts... It hurts so much! I just got off the ground and you're already ordering people around, damn it... Ah ah!"

Anik was oblivious to Shuen's scolding and was indifferent.

The advantage of AI is that it has no emotional fluctuations. After Shuen finished screaming in pain, Anik said, "Welcome, Shuen. If you are ready, I will now pass judgment on you."

When Shu En heard this, he immediately became excited.

She puffed out her chest with arrogance and shouted indignantly, "Hey! You think you can judge me with just your artificial intelligence? Do you know who I am? I'm Shuen, the CEO of Missilis!"

"Everyone knows how important Missilis is to the Ark, right?!"

"If anything happens to me, this society will be doomed. You know that, right?"

"So, no matter what the verdict is, I absolutely will not accept it!"

"Remember what I said and judge wisely, understand?"

"......"

Annick ignored Shuen's yelling.

She, in the same calm tone as before, pronounced judgment on Shuen: "The judgment begins."

"Misilis CEO Shuen has committed four crimes."

"First, the sin of deliberately leading Letcher to the Ark for the benefit of Missilis."

"Second, he neglected the management of his alien forces and failed to prevent the Ark terrorist attack."

"Third, in the process of tracking the alien forces, you attempted to destroy the alien force Nikki without authorization in order to destroy evidence."

"Fourth, the crime of neglecting the management of the security forces under your command and failing to prevent the Sanctuary Incident."

"Because the aforementioned crimes have caused immense damage to Ark in terms of manpower, material resources, and resources, and based on the aforementioned circumstances, we have investigated past cases and found no similar cases. Therefore, after our own judgment, we hereby render the following judgment."

"Can you please stop nagging me and let me go back to rest? Seriously!" Shu En didn't listen to the long list of crimes at all.

Anyway, Ark's AI always turns a blind eye to the upper level.

After all, she didn't think Anike could do anything to her.

Just when she was about to go back and rest, Anike paused, opened her eyes slightly, and looked at Shuen with a slightly meaningful look.

After a moment, she made her verdict: "The verdict is as follows."

"The CEO of Missilis Industries will be changed to Nikki. However, since her brain is of great help to the Ark, no amnesia will be performed."

"However, his improper behavior and thoughts are likely to cause various problems, so we will continue to correct them through nimph."

"Secondly, after Shuen becomes Nikki, he will be stripped of his position as CEO of Missilis Industries and incorporated into the Special Rangers Counterattack Force. That's all."

"What did you say?"

Shu En's eyes widened. She couldn't even believe what she had just heard was true. After a long silence, she asked again, "Am I dreaming? What verdict did you make, Anike? No, no, no, I must have heard it wrong. Anike, tell me again!"

"Repeat that."

"The judgment is as follows: Shuen, the CEO of Missilis Industries, will be renamed Nikki, and his position as CEO will be stripped. He will be incorporated into the counterattack force."

"Do you have any other objections?"

"No, no, no, this isn't right. This shouldn't be the case!"

Shu En was really panicked this time.

Although on the surface, the CEOs of the three major companies and the central government are the most powerful officials in the Ark.

But Alnwick's judgment still cannot be violated.

As the Ark's AI, she had the power to remove anyone from any position if she made any subjective judgment. Not only the CEO, but even the Ark's Commander-in-Chief would be forced to obey. As for the reason, there was no other reason, simply because Alnic was the most credible person in the entire Ark, and her position was on the side of humanity. Anyone who dared to defy her judgment would be an enemy of the Ark.

So, when Shuen heard the verdict, she completely shut down.

"Anik, you...what the hell are you doing?"

"If you have objections to the verdict, I will discuss it again with the commander of the counterattack force, who experienced all the events in this incident and made outstanding contributions. If he believes that Missilis CEO Shuen is guilty, the verdict will be executed immediately."

"If he finds you innocent, you will not accept the punishment."

"The meeting will begin in a few hours. Please be prepared."

The Alnwick verdict gave Shuen his last straw.

She never imagined that her fate would be in Green's hands.

He's obviously just a civilian commander... Damn it!

Shu En clenched his teeth.

She still remembered how she had looked down upon him and ordered him around just now.

But now everything is about to be turned upside down.

Shuen knew very well that if she lowered herself to ask Green to speak up for her, then given his usual attitude towards her, he would definitely support making her Nikki. After all, the two of them had been unhappy with each other for a long time, and now there was a rare opportunity to get revenge on her. How could the commander be willing to let her go?

"Damn it, damn it, why him?!"

"Anik, tell me why!"

"The counterattack force achieved outstanding military feats for the Ark. To date, no other unit has been able to replicate their glorious achievements," Anik replied calmly. "Therefore, I believe the commander of the counterattack force has a clear understanding of the current situation. His decision will definitely be beneficial to the Ark."

"Come on, I'm the CEO of Missilis, who is he?"

"He's just a small commander. How can he be more important than me?!" Shu En looked unwilling and emphasized her noble status again.

"If you could lead the team to repel two heretics simultaneously, you would have equal say." Anik taunted her, "But in this incident, you displayed unreasonable behavior that will severely damage the Ark. Therefore, I have made the above judgment."

"Any objections, Shuen?"

"You...just wait! I'm going to talk to that guy right now!"

Shu En stomped his feet in frustration, then left with a constipated look on his face.

Anik watched her leaving from behind. For some reason, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face, even though she never showed any emotion to others.

.......

Just like that, half an hour later.

Outpost.

A great battle had just ended, and the Nikis who had been running back and forth in the Ark had all returned. Because there were too many wounded, the usually deserted hospital at the outpost was now filled with wounded, 90% of whom were humans, but there were also a few Nikis mixed in.

"Why does Nikki need to be hospitalized too?" Green carried a mass-produced Nikki who was only slightly injured to her ward. Looking at her lying on the bed with an IV drip, as a commander, he felt inexplicably confused.

Anis glanced at Nikki lying on the bed, then explained with a smile, "Well, how should I put it, Commander."

"Every Nikki has a different sense of self. Some Nikkis think they are fully human, just wearing Nikki's skin. But some Nikkis have a deep understanding that they are just a monster made of metal wearing human skin."

"For the former, in order to avoid a change in thinking, one would naturally have to go to the hospital."

"As a human being, it's normal to have to lie in the hospital and recuperate after being injured, right?"

"But if you can realize that you don't need to recover from injuries like humans, and you can accept this completely, then there's no need to do this."

"I see." Green stroked his chin and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Then which sect does Anis think she belongs to?"

"Eh? Commander, are you asking me?"

"Actually...I've died many times."

"Before I met the Commander, I had died several times, but thankfully I survived every time." Anis spoke calmly about the cruelest memories of the past. "Well, for someone like me who constantly fights Letcher on the ground, getting injured and dying in battle is commonplace. Anyway, I definitely don't need to be hospitalized now."
