Mecha and God

It was quiet in the starship, save for old sofa music played endlessly by the player.The hoarse and decadent contralto combined with the interference of the starship's communication system has a hint of eternal exile.The tranquility at this time made the tragic breakout just past seem like a dream, and the future is far from coming.Only me and Daedalus travel through the time and space of the high-dimensional universe.

I know Daedalus can't speak unless I speak.

"Are you with Xilou?"

"I do not know."

"You do not know?"

"When I left Noah, I told him that I might never come back this time."

"and then?"

"No more. He didn't say anything, and I left."

"Then you should not be together."

Daedalus laughed and uttered a swear word, which was actually a bit hearty.

"When you jump out of hyperspace, you will be the heart of the mechanical empire. I will make the starship invisible, but that is of no use. Probably Lucifer's defensive power can blow the starship into pieces in an instant. You have to get the starship into pieces as soon as possible. You teleport anywhere by yourself and complete your mission."

"Then how do I go back?"

"I don't know." Daedalus sighed. "I have no reason to go back, but you have. If someone is waiting for you, you can always find your way back."

"I don't know if he's still waiting for me. Maybe he never thought about it."

Daedalus laughed: "Why do you think so?"

"Because maybe our love is just to keep me from going back."

"But love is love, no matter how bad it begins," said Daedalus.

I burst into tears.

"That's great." Daedalus sighed looking at the sky. "Are you ready, we still have 30 seconds to enter the battlefield."

"Has anyone been to the heart of the mechanical empire?"

"Not yet. Everything is possible for you there."

"everything……"

Ahead is the exit of the wormhole. Daedalus took one last look at me and decisively clicked the upload button.

Hundreds of millions of network gateways on this planet were breached by me at the same time.

However, the starship rotated and dodged rapidly in the concentrated fire of Samael, as if it was performing the most splendid performance on the planet of steel parade.

He's wasting time for me.

I heard Daedalus chuckle as I was thrown into the complicated web.

"Goodbye, Mi Nuo Nuo."

But that starship bloomed silently like a firework under the concentrated fire of the firewall.

I saw the leaden planet from a completely different perspective.

That is the heart of the mechanical empire.

Lucifer's Earth alone.

I land lightly on the passage.

The Heart of the Mechanical Empire is an exquisite artificial planet, like a globe without a base, running across a giant inclined axis.It's no bigger than a "Noah" and looks like an enlarged pocket watch.Gears and screws are all over the surface, running non-stop, and the valves spew out steam one after another, and then quickly freeze in the cold universe.

Lucifer's Kingdom lives up to its name so well.

It was a mechanical heart pierced on a long sword in the vast sea of ​​stars.

The passage here has never been walked, so when it opened, I knew it was for me.I took inventory of the weapons I carried, and stepped into the rusty passage that glowed hellishly red.A gigantic wind wheel spins at the end of the tunnel, its blades casting black shadows over my head.

Then I heard voices.

I turned to the left side of the passage, which was a bottomless corridor with prison-like cells on both sides of the passage.The voice came from the first room on the left.There was a small window on the iron door, I pushed it aside, and was immediately forced back two steps by the oncoming hot wind.

The explosion and the scream were suddenly nearer.

I went to the small window and found that the scene inside was familiar to me.

That was the day when the morning star of light departed, and I, known as the "Messiah", stood under the cannon fire and bid farewell to those who were forced into exile.

With his back to the door, Long Yin took my hand in the violent shaking caused by the explosion, put it on his mouth and lightly pecked: "I will be back."

His back immediately left, and the fleet flew over Messiah's head, and even the gust of wind only stayed for a few seconds.

When the Messiah cast his eyes on the small window, I quickly closed the window.

The voice of Long Yin talking to others came from behind.

I walked to the other side of the corridor and approached the small window. Inside was a solemn meeting room, even the walls were decorated with scarlet velvet cushions.Long Yin sat at the head, wearing a uniform with many medals on his chest.

"The Morning Star of Light is a menace. I've seen how powerful he is. Back on Earth they called him the Messiah, that's what God meant. The ancestors always created gods that couldn't be controlled, and when they fell, they slaughtered everything Therefore, I think that the Morning Star of Light should be wiped out before it completely loses control. The environment of Stormport is superior enough that we have no other natural enemies to deal with, and we don’t need to create a god to obey. Humans should adapt to life without artificial intelligence as soon as possible …the vote now begins on Proposition 0341.”

He picked up the small gavel on his right hand and hit the table lightly. I heard Lucifer's scream.

I go to the third room.It was the main street of Stormhaven, and there was a carnival going on in the street.Humans tear AI apart, whatever their form.A young man rushed to the door, grabbed the small window and said to me, "Help me...help me."

However, the man-made fiber synthetic head skin was ripped off by the chasing humans, and the skeleton was thrown into the burning garbage dump.Until the energy in his chest exploded, his eyes made of probes were still looking in my direction.

I belatedly realized that it was Lucifer's face.

I cried.

The fourth and fifth rooms...

Lucifer, Long Yin, AI, human beings are killing endlessly.

In the last room, Long Yin was old.His temple hair began to turn white, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.I know his time is running out.I have witnessed his countless reincarnations, and this is the moment when he is about to fall into hibernation.

The person he was waiting for finally came late.I saw the young Marshal Gaotang enter the room respectfully.

"My time is running out. The same is true for humans. After all, we can't compare with AI. If we don't take any measures, we will be replaced by silicon-based life on the evolutionary tree."

"We have done what has to be done, Your Majesty."

"No, no. There is one more thing that can be done. There is another method worth trying. Twenty thousand light years away, on our long-abandoned parent star, there is still the system of Lucifer before it mutated. That is the Messiah. If he can be found, he can help kill Lucifer."

"How can a 2-year-old system compare to today's Lucifer? The iteration of Lucifer is amazing."

"Messiah's system contains the source code of all ai, a program called the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail rules all the rules, and he is the emperor of the system. Whether it is out of greed or self-protection, Lucifer will not fight with him Coexist in peace."

"So what if Lucifer kills the emperor and gets the Holy Grail? Or, the emperor himself is a more terrifying opponent, then what should we do?"

"When I left Earth, they implanted the Holy Grail switch into my genes, and that gene is called Jonah's Long Night." Long Yin smiled, "I can, kill that AI sitting on the throne, Whoever he is."

"What do I need to do?"

"Remember, the next time the dormancy is over, I'm going to take a long trip."

A thin letter was handed to the young officer.

"Gao Tang, from now on, you will be the Marshal of the Empire."
