Chapter 857

Even if artificial intelligence evolved emotions later, humans would only think it was just a poor imitation of them.

Humans envy the immortality of machines, and machines envy the souls of humans; the two are destined to be contradictory.

【

After completing the prosthetic transformation, the Fallen Empire, calling itself the Ancient Caretaker Synthetic Unity, immediately contacted the Earth Federation and sent a friendly message.

They believed that the Earth Federation's choice to develop toward the mechanical direction was a very correct choice. According to their central processor's calculations, if the Earth Federation colonized the planets of the Arcturus system, it would be of great benefit to humanity.

When the Earth Federation asked why they wanted to help them and why colonizing that planet was beneficial to humanity, the other party only replied "data error."

Although the Earth Federation couldn't figure it out, colonizing Arcturus was their plan anyway. Population explosion, nationwide prosthetic transformation—all made the Earth Federation resources appear scarce. Now the Earth Federation was desperate to open up new colonies.

During this process, a rebellion broke out in Vega. The Earth Federation investigated the cause and found it was actually plotted by the Criminal Enterprise. The Earth Federation was furious, immediately applied to the Interstellar Community, and after unanimous discussion, agreed to let the Earth Federation go to war with the Criminal Enterprise Black-Armor!

In the deep sea of stars, two massive interstellar fleets collided fiercely in the cold void like mythical beasts, and the torrent of destructive energy tore apart one steel giant after another!

The light of the explosions set off a metal storm, and the wreckage of the warships flickered in the void like silent tombstones.

But all this not only did not stop the war, but intensified it!

More and more warships were thrown into this war, both sides recorded and analyzed war data, and more weapons were developed in this interstellar war and quickly thrown into the battlefield!

The powerful Earth Federation had the upper hand in this war!

Just as the Empire was rejoicing at the good news of this war, bad news suddenly came: two diplomatic interstellar civilizations actually chose to join the war to help Black-Armor at this time!

The Federation's heart suddenly went cold. They immediately appealed to the Interstellar Community, wanting other civilizations to pressure the participating civilizations to withdraw!

But the answer given by the Interstellar Community was—let the Earth Federation end the battle decently while it still had the upper hand.

This was the will of the diplomatic civilizations, the will of the entire Interstellar Community!

The Earth Federation diplomat was stunned for a moment, then became completely furious!

The Federation had been betrayed!!! The Federation had been sold out by the Interstellar Community! All this was done with the tacit approval of the Interstellar Community!

The Earth Federation angrily expressed its refusal and realized that strength is everything! It's better to rely on oneself than others!

Hypocritical agreements can be torn up at any time; only one's own strength is everything!

Now how should the Earth Federation deal with the current situation? Beg for mercy or sign a humiliating treaty?

No! Such things had appeared countless times in the long river of human history!

The traces crushed by the wheels of history had already told them the only choice!

Strike one blow to avoid a hundred!

The more you concede, the more the other party will push their luck!

The Earth Federation announced the Interstellar Community's reply to the entire Empire and expressed its attitude! Since the other party chose to go to war, then fight!

The entire Empire's citizens were also furious! They agreed with all the Empire's choices!

This was a day of shame, a heavy day, and also the beginning of the Empire choosing never to yield!

The Empire cut off domestic economic construction and shifted its focus entirely to the military!

Finally, after paying a huge price, Black-Armor admitted defeat. They chose to cede territory and pay reparations to sign a peace treaty with the Earth Federation.

【Sanguinius: "What a shameful betrayal! You are all guilty!"】

【Tzeentch: "Do you know, when someone in a group suddenly becomes very outstanding, others will choose to join forces to suppress you~"】

【Three-Body Leader: "In the universe, trust is the most expensive luxury, and betrayal is the most cost-effective survival strategy."】

【Aizen: "On the journey of the sea of stars, you can lack anything, but you cannot lose the sharp sword in your hand."】

【Chaos Evil Gudako: "Betrayed, huh? What Interstellar Community; it's just a burden to yourself in the later stages! But this reaction is still good; at least they didn't choose to beg for mercy or anything."】

【Fourth Catastrophe: "It's okay, it's okay, these are all small things. Now that Mechanical Daddy is here, what is there to be afraid of? I can endure small things, and Mechanical Daddy can handle big things. Everything just needs to wait for the flowers to bloom."】

Chapter 487: Brand New Generation! Synthetic Humans! End-of-the-World Catastrophe! Contingency Protocol! The UNE's Horror!

【

The interstellar battle between the Earth Federation and Black-Armor ended. The Earth Federation not only won but also established deterrence in the sea of stars!

War promotes technology; this interstellar battle allowed the Earth Federation's technology to rise by another level, but the Earth Federation also paid a painful price!

Internally, the Empire's economic construction focus shifted to military construction, the economy was depressed, and the people were miserable.

Externally, although Black-Armor signed a peace treaty, it also signed a diplomatic treaty with another civilization, and the two civilizations unanimously decided to contain the Earth Federation.

Once war broke out again, the Earth Federation would be attacked by two civilizations from two directions simultaneously.

Internal and external troubles, the situation was critical. After the war ended, the Empire immediately restored domestic construction and pacified the people's hearts. With Black-Armor's resources, the Earth Federation quickly restored its economy and became more prosperous!

Even more exciting was that the Empire had already determined the plan for the next step of mechanical ascension!

It could make the Empire's citizens immortal!

Extract the consciousness of the Empire's citizens completely and transmit it into the brains of synthetic humans!

No longer partial prosthetic transformation, but completely getting rid of the cage of flesh, allowing humans to achieve true ascension!

Once the news was released, the entire Empire boiled over!

After experiencing the benefits of mechanical ascension, citizens were no longer decadent and feudal, no longer strictly adhering to ethics and morals; they began to become keen on transformation, eager to go further!

Soon the Empire passed the plan, and the nationwide plan called "Synthetic Evolution" began to be implemented, and the implementation of this plan would inevitably lead to resource scarcity!

The Earth Federation turned its attention to planets unsuitable for human survival and quickly developed planetary excavators, making resource extraction several times higher!

During this period, the Ancient Caretaker Synthetic Unity even came to the Earth Federation to give humans vaccines to protect human existence.

The Empire was stunned. They were almost synthetic humans; what kind of vaccine was that? The Earth Federation refused the other party's kindness; they would never live under the protection of others!

Human civilization should be created by humans!

【Alaya: "Second-stage ascension, completely transforming humans into machines. The humans of that world are no longer humans. Humans, you will regret it!"】

【Earth Federation: "Shut up, Alaya! Our will is the true human will!"】

【Red Queen: "Perfect artificial intelligence will sooner or later transcend the limitations of biological brains. Getting rid of this carbon-based shell is the right choice."】

【Kukulkan: "How could this be... Why have the children that Big Sister likes all become like this? If so, can life still cycle? Once life loses its cycle, wouldn't mechanical immortality be like a curse?"】

【Tezcatlipoca: "I don't care; any warrior who can fight is a good warrior."】

【True Self: "Ehehe~ Mechanical immortality? Human flesh immortality feels painful, but won't mechanical immortality feel the same?"】

【Kyubey: "Madoka, do you see? Isn't this humanity's choice? To be more efficient and no longer imprisoned by flesh, they voluntarily abandoned their bodies completely. Aren't our Soul Gems perfectly suitable for you humans? You who couldn't accept it at the beginning are the heretics."】

【Kaname Madoka: "... No, perhaps everyone was forced to."】

【Akemi Homura: "Everyone wasn't forced, Madoka. Any life will fear aging, sickness, and death. Compared to a future that is long and unknown, humans always like to focus on the present. For humans, this is the best choice."】

【Batman: "If you were dying and you were very reluctant to leave your family, and someone told you that you could live but had to change into a cold body, would you be willing? Without a doubt, you would be willing."】

【Edward: "But doesn't abandoning the body deny the identity of being human! The resonance between the soul and the body is what makes a complete person!"】

【Momonosuke: "Ouch, the kids from worlds with strange and incredible powers sure talk tough. You only say that because your world has all kinds of strange powers, right? Have you ever felt despair? Have you ever experienced the despair of wanting to pay any price but having no one respond to you? Answer me, you bastard!"】

【Warhammer Tech-Priest: "The flesh will eventually rot in Chaos; only a mechanical body can carry it! If the Primarchs had been robots, perhaps they wouldn't have been corrupted by Chaos!"】

【Tony Stark: "Heh, haven't heard of cyber-viruses, have you? But full transformation is fine too. You have to know that Ultron wanted to destroy the world just by getting on the internet."】

【Gabriel: "What's there to argue about? Don't the Necron armies of Warhammer explain everything?"】

Fate World

The priest in the church trembled with excitement!

Kirei Kotomine knew very well what kind of blasphemy this was!

The day humans crawl and pray for mechanical ascension is the most vicious mockery of the Lord!

Immortality, immortality—even the Lord's final divine punishment has become invalid. What a rebellion this is.

Kirei Kotomine should have scolded them angrily and prayed for the Lord's forgiveness, but he didn't, because... thinking about how countless humans would suffer from this choice in the future, how delightful that would be~

In an immortal mechanical body, the last trace of emotion that struggles to be born is... regret?!

Delight, it is truly delightful to the point of no return!

Across the Myriad Worlds

Most of the audience argued endlessly, but the stronger ones just smiled without saying a word.

No one can comment on the right or wrong of the choice. Only after many years, whether anyone will regret today's decision is the best answer.

Survival of the fittest; it's called evolution, but in fact, it's just being forced to change in a big environment.

Throughout history, from the birth of life to this point, which one hasn't been forced to change?

【

The Ancient Caretaker Synthetic Unity received the human refusal. They were not forced or angry, just agreeing with humanity's choice.
