Prison Island

Chapter 262: Consciousness Beyond the Peak of Humanity

While Gao Xin was thinking, Wei Miao finished the duel with Themis.

Without a doubt, it was a defeat.

Themis' counterattack gives people a different feeling.

Powerful firepower, unparalleled accuracy, and unparalleled responsiveness.

There is no trick that will surprise Themis when it is launched.

The moment a move is released, the data about that move will be detected instantly. He will analyze the power, angle, intention in detail.

It can be said that Themis is a later-developing god, an existence of pure logic and rationality to the extreme.

It's like rock-paper-scissors. It seems like everyone attacks together, but in fact, the enemy always attacks first. He knows what the attack is and then responds.

Invincible in everything and invincible in the aftermath.

Unless you can absolutely crush him with speed, all your tricks and fake moves are wishful thinking.

Yak and Themis are both logical gods of war, one is invincible purely by intuition, and the other is invincible purely by analysis.

Gao Xin felt extremely pressured.

“Three losses in a row!”

"Although she is in a class of her own and has made it to the semi-finals, there is still a gap between them."

"It's too tragic. There's no chance of winning against the other three."

After seeing the dismal result of the first challenger who didn’t win a single game, I felt that this contest was truly a fight between gods.

The top four is already in a unique class, and Wei Miao has the help of Cang Yue's power to reach the peak under normal circumstances.

However, none of the other three were normal people!

A dark logician, a divine being, and a high-level apostle AI.

After hanging on the wall three times in a row, she, a strong person with the power of Cang Yue, suddenly seemed to be unable to hang enough.

At this moment, everyone realized that Wei Miao would be at the bottom of the top four.

"The second challenger, Themis."

The apostle announced the new lottery results, and Themis would choose her opponent in turn.

Gao Xin was not at all surprised by this. He just let Wei Miao do the test first. If no result was found, Themis would do it next.

"I want to challenge Tai Sui!"

Themis jumped into the arena without hesitation and designated her opponent.

"Here it comes! Themis fights Taisui."

"The high-level apostle's death is too bullying."

"I wonder if Tai Sui can handle it. Is this actually the decisive battle?"

"Yes, this is the final battle, and the champion is between Tai Sui and Themis."

The spectators were so excited that they all thought this was the final battle.

In the championship battle, whoever wins will be the Tiger King.

"Haha." Gao Xin fell into the field.

After realizing the existence of the divine being, his understanding of the Great Holy Spirit deepened.

Now, he just wanted to fight with Yak.

As for Themis, Gao Xin has determined that this guy's fighting style is of no reference value to him.

To put it bluntly, absolute computing power and absolute rationality.

It is beyond human scope and cannot be learned by humans. It’s just that the hardware is too powerful.

"But it's really difficult to defeat Themis. She doesn't give any loopholes at all."

Gao Xin has three heads and eighteen arms. When he lands on the field, his exoskeleton is already six meters tall.

With the help of the resources provided free of charge by the Tiger King Conference, Gao Xin's attributes have reached their peak and his body has been adjusted to the best condition.

"Tai Sui, I lost the previous preliminaries."

"However, here, you and I will have the most upright duel."

"I won't give you any chance and will defeat you without a doubt."

Themis said calmly, full of confidence.

Gao Xin smiled slightly: "Even if you beat me, you will never be able to become me."

"Someone told me that you could possess my fighting consciousness, and I was looking forward to it, but the fact is that you disappointed me."

"Fighting with you won't make me progress. Winning or losing is meaningless to me... My only opponent is Ark."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

My goodness, he is so arrogant!
He actually said that Themis disappointed him, that fighting with Themis was meaningless, and that he only had Ark in his heart?
What a joke, everyone thinks that Themis is Tai Sui’s biggest opponent, and this battle between man and machine is the decisive battle for the championship.

As a result, Gao Xin actually said such words and did not take Themis seriously at all.

"Too arrogant. How dare he act like an idiot in front of a high-ranking apostle."

"There's no need for a high-level apostle. Even an ordinary apostle's body can kill him instantly."

"That's right. I'm just going to use Tiger-level's body to play with him. Who do you think you are?"

"It's been a long fight, I want to see how he beats the robot."

"Beat him, Themis, and let him know what true despair is."

Those viewers who hated Gao Xin were immediately furious, as if they had caught some evidence and started to denounce him crazily.

The one who really doesn't care about winning or losing is Themis. What qualifications does Tai Sui have to say such things?
They are all top people in their respective fields and know best how powerful AI is.

At this moment, everyone immediately supported the robot and defeated Gao Xin.

However, the attitudes of those viewers who support Gao Xin are at another extreme.

"Fuck, so arrogant, how dare he look down on Themis like this?"

"He actually said that Themis disappointed him. Even if he won before, the round battle is different. He can't take shortcuts."

"Oh my god, don't you give yourself a way out? If I lose, won't I be scolded to death?"

"Who cares? Are robots invincible? I like Tai Sui. No matter who you are, he won't bow down."

"Kill the robots! The kingship belongs to humans, come on Tai Sui!"

"You must not lose, Tai Sui. If you win this battle, I will get my whole family to support you forever."

The audience was divided into two extremes, and the enthusiasm reached its highest point when Tai Sui faced off against Themis.

And the battle soon began.

When the two of them fought, they went all out.

There is no need to say much about Themis's combat awareness, and his offensive force is mainly electromagnetic force field.

It can gather energy at any angle around the body, releasing kinetic shock waves, high-temperature particle flows, overclocked sound wave beams, scarlet hot melt lasers, blazing plasma balls, controllable mesh lightning...

These are obviously not things that RoboCop's body should possess.

However, he installed various force field generators on himself through the collection and modification of the preliminaries, just like humans exchanging modules for themselves.

Fortunately, for the sake of fairness, Themis still has a limited amount of energy, and her instantaneous output is also at the limit of a real tiger.

But this is enough, Gao Xin is only a true tiger level after all.

The two have the same energy reserves and strength, at most Gao Xin has a better burst due to his S+ grade equipment. Yes, Themis is not as strong as Gao Xin in terms of numbers, but slightly weaker.

But this line is harmless.

Faced with endless means and a fighting consciousness that did not give him any chance, Gao Xin had no way to win and could only fight him to the death.

"Silver Hand, what's going on? Can't you hold on?" Gao Xin found that there were many arms and several problems occurred.

Silver Hand said: "It's not my problem, it's the spotted dolphins and the others who can't keep up with our consciousness."

The spotted dolphin shouted, "How can I follow? We are not Dark Logic."

Gao Xin was calm, in Eighteen-Arms Mode, seemingly ferocious and invincible, but that was only the case in most cases.

In fact, the only two people with dark logic personality are Silver Hand and Wei Lan. Everyone else has his own personality. Although they are all elephant-level, their combat awareness is not as good as Wei Miao, Tianlongzuo and others.

At this moment, facing Themis, these personalities became weaknesses.

"Forget it, I don't need you anymore, retreat back to the six-arm form!"

As Gao Xin fought, several of his arms were destroyed and would never recover.

Then the body began to reshape and change, becoming a state of having three heads and six arms.

Only in this way can his combat awareness be stabilized at an extremely high peak without much fluctuation.

If Gao Xin were to bring Yun Zhongtianyi and the others along, his upper limit might be a little higher, but his lower limit would be too low.

"When facing Themis, you can't have any weaknesses, otherwise I will be caught and suffer a crushing defeat!"

Gao Xin, Yinshou and Wei Lan's three personalities worked closely together and finally managed to stabilize the situation.

But there is still no way to win.

Themis was capable of both offense and defense. Even though Gao Xin used some unreasonable moves, Themis was able to resolve the crisis.

Themis seemed to be a wise man after the event in the face of Gao Xin's various unexpected attacks, and saw through all of Gao Xin's intentions.

"You can't defeat me, Tai Sui."

"Your idea is indeed amazing, even I can't predict it, but I don't need to predict it."

"As long as you make the move, I will analyze it again. Physical phenomena will not deceive me."

Themis smiled faintly, very calm.

This is his lower limit, ridiculously high.

As long as he doesn't seek credit, doesn't take risks, and doesn't make reckless moves with an extremely low tolerance for error, Gao Xin will have no way to deal with him.

At this moment, the dark logic tactics were suppressed.

"Really? You sound like you can defeat me."

"Trillions of calculations per second are not as good as a random thought of mine."

As Gao Xin spoke, his offensive was exactly the opposite of Themis's, he became more and more aggressive!

As if he was risking his life, he kept tempting Themis to kill him with thunder.

Themis was not fooled by this.

"Sure enough, your fighting method is to seize the enemy's opportunity."

"But I'm a robot. No matter how much you provoke me, it's meaningless."

"I will push you into the abyss step by step and exhaust you to death."

"Humans have limits, and my lower limit is your upper limit."

Themis has been collecting Gao Xin's combat data. He would rather miss ten thousand opportunities before completing the modeling of Gao Xin.

This made it impossible for Gao Xin to win, but... well, this was also a point that could be exploited.

Gao Xin knew that Themis' real purpose was to collect his data, so even if he was sending it, Themis would at most seriously injure him but would not kill him.

Therefore, relying on this point, Gao Xin can attack like crazy and try his best to display his offensive talent.

"Want to exhaust me to death? That's just wishful thinking!"

"Let me show you my strongest form!"

Gao Xin entered an inhuman mode, like a battle top with three heads and six arms.

With the assistance of anti-gravity fields, impact fields and other force fields, the image of human beings is no longer important.

The shape of the exoskeleton has evolved entirely for combat, and its face has been completely changed and it has lost its human form.

"Humans do have their limits. The more I fight enemies like you, the more I feel the shortcomings of the human body..."

"If that's the case, then I won't be a human being anymore."

Gao Xin once again transformed into a whirlwind of battle. All his limbs and forms were designed to better exert the power of his weapons and to launch a more thorough attack!
Faced with this situation, even the combat awareness of many legendary players gathered by Themis was not enough.

He began to be hit frequently, and the terrifying Suzaku Lieyun and Baihu Shafa broke and tore his body into pieces.

This time it was not about taking advantage of a weakness, but rather his combat awareness was too strong, just like how Yak defeated the legendary Wei Miao with two swords, he crushed the enemy in consciousness.

To put it in scientific terms, these are the strategies Gao Xin can think of at the moment. There are too many choices and the possibilities are too vast.

His moves suppressed the opponent's choices, forcing the enemy to fall into his trap even if he tried every possible means. The best option was to cut losses at the beginning.

Themis suffered heavy damage and lost a lot of intelligent mechanical modules.

Fortunately, he is a robot, so he doesn't have to be defeated, and it's even early.

Themis took advantage of this and exchanged blood for blood with Gao Xin, and life for life, severely injuring Gao Xin.

This is Themis’ stop-loss option. Since he is a robot, if he continues like this, Gao Xin will definitely die first.

However, Themis' eyes lit up: "So strong! I was actually overcome by human consciousness?"

"As expected of a singularity, this is a combat awareness that surpasses the legendary level."

"I gathered the battle consciousness of many powerful humans, and they were all surpassed."

"You are not limited to the human body. You have expanded the upper limit of what once belonged to humans! You have pushed the pinnacle of humanity to a higher height!"

Gao Xin said: "Surpassing the legend? Unparalleled level..."

“No, no, no…” Themis smiled: “It doesn’t mean that surpassing the legend will make it unparalleled.”

"Whether it's you, me, or Ark, we're still a long way from being perfect."

"You legends have at most reached the pinnacle of human consciousness."

“And no matter how high you push your peak, you will never be able to match the Burning Emperor. It’s like the difference between phosphorus and the sun.”

"I admire you for pushing the limits of humanity, but even if you burn the entire Earth as firewood, the fire you ignite will not be nuclear fusion after all."

Gao Xin was shocked, and he understood what Themis meant.

That is the human legend, which is completely different from the unparalleled level of the Burning Emperor.

Although in terms of sequence number, one can be called the third level and the other the fourth level.

But after three, there is not four.

Even if it surpasses the original peak, it will only become a new peak and extend the legend, but it is still not the realm of the Burning Emperor.

Is it that outrageous?
