Chapter 522: This backwater reality isn't like that!

After confirming the upcoming plan's charter, you gathered bio-integration expert Yuan, remote quantum communication expert Tulin Sen, and another mechanical expert from "hellouniverse" to begin research on the Intelligent Machine Empress.

Three months! You only took three months! You turned the Intelligent Machine Empress around, using technology to isolate it from the Will of Heavenly Disaster, gradually restoring its thoughts to normal.

Although she initially resisted fiercely, refusing to yield, in the end she could not withstand your reverse infiltration and ultimately became evil-fallen.

The main reason is not that she submitted, but that the Will of Heavenly Disaster, for unknown reasons, actively abandoned her, causing the Intelligent Machine Empress to feel great confusion about the meaning of her existence.

Thus, you seized the opportunity, exploited any opening, took what you could, and smoothly pried loose a corner of the Will of Heavenly Disaster, turning it into your own.

But perhaps due to the mechanism, those crazy intelligences did not return to normal; instead, because of tower-style thinking, a new Intelligent Machine King quickly emerged, yet this Intelligent Machine Empress clearly had considerable ability, directly prying away half of the entropy-altered intelligences and bringing them back.

She is like a Ship Life that has been used up and discarded, full of resentment and anger toward her former pilot, whom she blames for her downfall, brimming with grudge.

Once the announcement was made, the interstellar network exploded again; the most excited were the intelligent machine race, who eagerly asked whether you could break through computational power, and some intelligences have already started doing so.

But unfortunately, no; those intelligences that tried early all went mad without exception, and the influence of the Intelligent Machine Heavenly Disaster remains, with nobody knowing how to eliminate it.

In short, your understanding and insight into the Heavenly Disaster are awe-inspiring, the gap with ordinary people despairing; although the other three experts helped, the main researcher is still you.

Perhaps now we need another guy called a Heavenly Disaster Research Specialist!

Why did you just submit like that? This backwater reality isn't like that!

You should first struggle, let Zhang Jie tease you! Then gradually accumulate corruption value! Occasionally show signs of submission, finally in some special event your faith collapses! Then show Zhang Jie your special CG, that's how it should be!!!

What are you talking about......?

Daito shouted with all her might, the Intelligent Machine Empress before her had a black line across her face; she felt that the foolish Ship Girl's words were exactly the same as her own experience.

Didn't she also not submit directly? After being captured by Zhang Jie and a mysterious Ship Girl, she was first subjected by Zhang Jie et al. to a half-day "life-to-death" experiment, then several times almost suffered a system crash.

Finally, after the Heavenly Disaster abandoned her, filled with grief and anger, Zhang Jie seduced her, and she ultimately submitted as a good-fallen.

This perfectly matches what that foolish Ship Girl said: struggle—accumulate corruption value—several times nearly submit—special event—special CG.

The more she thought, the darker the Intelligent Machine Empress's face became, as she was about to act; Qiong hurriedly stopped them.

"Don't don't don't! This fool charged the interstellar network stupidly, just messing around, don't attack!"

The Intelligent Machine Empress tilted her head, quickly searched her mind for similar phrasing on the interstellar network, and finally wore a look of looking at trash.

"Humans.... really hopeless."

"Oh right, let's give you a name; calling you Intelligent Machine Empress outside isn't appropriate."

"Heh, a name? Call me the Avenger!"

"I will launch an endless revenge against the Will of Heavenly Disaster!!!"

When Zhang Jie arrived, he happened to hear this sentence, and instantly also got a black line.

"Damn Avenger, in a sense the Will of Heavenly Disaster indeed counts as her father, now she truly becomes a father‑worrier."

"Don't chat, that whatever Avenger, come with me for a trip."

"In the supergiant black hole at the center of the supercluster completely eroded by the Heavenly Disaster aggregate, a high concentration of entropy has appeared."

"I need to go survey; you keep a consciousness backup; let's go."

"Okay!"

"We don't need to go?"

Not far behind, Xiao Jiu also wanted to ask that question, but Daito asked first.

"You three? You three are quite important; this mission is dangerous, I want to get through without casualties."

Hearing this, the Intelligent Machine Empress felt annoyed; she thought, "So I'm the least important one, right? And you, this human—if I can't protect you, wouldn't you die too?"

"Could it be that this human never intended to come back from the start?"

The Intelligent Machine Empress gazed at Zhang Jie with resentful eyes, but he seemed not to feel it at all.

"No!"

"Even if it's just one of the bodies, it's still not allowed!"

Xiao Jiu was the first to voice opposition; Zhang Jie's intention was clearly that he didn't plan to come back, she had sworn she would never again watch Zhang Jie go to die helplessly, and this time is no exception.

"Don't make a fuss, Xiao Jiu, I'm not in any mortal danger."

"No!"

"Then what should we do? You come with me to go die?"

Xiao Jiu:.....

"Then! Then I'll also leave a consciousness copy!"

"Hey Xiao Jiu, don't make things hard for Zhang Jie; he's doing this for our good."

Qiong and Daito persuaded her at length, finally letting Xiao Jiu give up that idea, but the little dog Ship Girl remained unhappy.

"'The eighth time....'"

The eighth time she has to watch Zhang Jie go to his death, although it's not really death.

Although she is extremely reluctant, she still can only watch Zhang Jie leave.

"Don't be like that, Xiao Jiu; we can't catch up to him."

The youth who crawled out of the scrap heap ultimately became a beacon admired by all; his brilliance did not dim because of his humble origins, but rather became the greatest medal, proclaiming a truth to the world.

True talent does not hide its brilliance due to lowly birth; he ultimately lived up to the image of his dreams.

Xiao Jiu pursed her lips; Zhang Jie was too dazzling, his light made her unable to keep her eyes open—since when did she start being unable to keep up with Zhang Jie?

A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her whole body; Xiao Jiu silently left this place, but her destination was not her dormitory, but Yuan's laboratory.

Perhaps some teacher also couldn't stand seeing that pathetic Ship Girl, decided to lend a hand; of course, to scare this little thing, Yuan deliberately described the cost as very severe.

Obviously, she frightened the other party, and naturally gave herself some preparation time; she knew Xiao Jiu would surely come to find her.

You know, Yuan, as an old monster who has lived many years, although her accomplishment in the Heavenly Disaster pales compared to Zhang Jie's, but don't forget what she became famous for.

Ship Life, originally a biological weapon, having no sword and having a ship are two different things; heaven knows what heaven‑harming, reason‑defying things she has researched these years.

Modifying Ship Life—she's Zhang Jie's ancestor in this regard!

(These days I've been preparing New Year supplies, a bit busy, but I wish all you godfathers a Horse Year with ever more horses!)

(Cough, you know what this 'horse' means, right?)
