Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 195 The meaning of existence

"Humanity?"

After hearing Jonathan's question, Popola seemed to be lost in memories of the past.

More than eight thousand years ago.

When she and Divara woke up, they were given the mission of managing the replicas of a region.

In order to prevent accidents from happening when Gestalt returns to human souls in the future.

So, strictly speaking, she and Divara had never seen a real human being.

From the first moment they opened their eyes, real human beings were completely Gestaltized.

In their programming, they were only told that they needed to manage the replicants in this area.

Let them live until the moment of human resurrection.

"I'm sorry, sir. You are the first living human being I have ever seen." Popola said with a bit of self-blame.

Hearing this, Jonathan touched her head.

I thought to myself that the artificial humans in this world are also quite sad.

They think of their creators every day, but have never even met these creators.

From the moment of birth, it has been carrying such a heavy fate.

As for artificial humans, Jonathan cannot regard them as robots or artificial intelligence.

Just like Athena deceived him at the beginning, saying that she was artificial intelligence.

But real artificial intelligence can achieve the level of Queen Ke'er.

That's already the limit.

Athena is the world consciousness, but we won’t talk about that for now.

Creatures like Diawara and Popora have obviously reached the level of artificial life.

Unfortunately, even though Jonathan had forgiven and comforted Popola, the loneliness in her eyes still lingered for a long time.

Reunion with humans after more than 8,000 years.

It cannot erase the mistakes they both made.

Although, back then, it was Neil's sister-con who went crazy and caused the extinction of mankind.

But obviously, Diawara and Popola blamed themselves for not blocking Neil.

If the two of them had stopped Neil at that time, humanity would not have perished.

Carrying such self-blame and regret, the two lived for more than 8,000 years.

Amidst the contempt of countless companions, the two endured everything they shouldn't have to endure.

Because this mistake was actually caused by Diwala and Popola who were guarding the Tokyo area.

It has no direct relationship with these models of the same model.

But unfortunately, the other androids did not understand them and even spoke ill of them.

Even at the end, there were only two of them left in the world, Diwala and Queen Popola.

The eye rolls from my companions never stopped.

Maybe Jonathan is their salvation, but can this salvation really heal the pain in their hearts?

No one can know.

"Dilvara, come here too. Close your eyes. This might get a little weird."

Calling Divara over, Jonathan took out the Sage's Blade from the space bracelet.

Although there is not much energy left on the Sage's Blade, it is not difficult to just check the soul conditions of Divara and Popora.

However, when a strange red light appeared in the tent, Jonathan was shocked.

Because they really have no soul.

Even though their behavior is no different from that of creatures with souls, they do not have souls.

At least according to the detection of the Sage's Blade, the two of them really have no souls.

Insert the Sage's Blade back behind the sword blade.

Diawara and Popola opened their eyes, they had no idea what had just happened.

Neither of them ever suspected the other of having any bad intentions toward Jonathan.

Even if he did, they would probably obey unconditionally.

Time passed quickly and Jonathan rested for a while in the tent.

The twins just stayed quietly beside him.

There are not too many words, just a faint protection.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Jonathan thought it was White, the commander of the Yoelha unit in the bunker, who arrived.

But when he left the tent.

But he saw a group of artificial humans standing ready for battle.

Surrounded by two shirtless men.

One has long hair and the other has short hair.

There are strange black tattoos on his body.

A pair of black tight leather pants.

"A new type of mechanical life form?" 9S said after scanning Adam and Eve.

Hearing this, everyone else was a little shocked.

Because the appearance of the two people, whether they are androids or humans, are exactly the same.

But 9S told them that this was a mechanical life form?
"9S! How is this possible?!" 2B asked in disbelief.

The blade in his hand was held tightly.

"That's right. Judging from the signal, the other party is indeed a mechanical life form."

Hearing this, Annie Mo Ning's face darkened.

"Attack!" Although Annie Morning didn't know why Adam and Eve did not attack other artificial humans after entering the camp.

But as for the mechanical life, she continued to perform her duties and chose to eliminate it.

Even now, it is a question whether the humans in his own world are still alive.

But this did not prevent Anne Morning from making a choice.

After years of fighting, perhaps the grudges between the mechanical life forms are no longer relevant to humans.

The lives of countless companions have become the reason why she chooses to continue fighting.

"Wait a minute! We mean no harm!"

Adam stepped forward and stopped Annie Morning who was about to shoot.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Attack!" Annie Morning ignored Adam's words and pulled the trigger.

Bullets fired from the rifle in her hand.

It hit Adam's body.

After seeing Annie Morning's attack, the other androids also started attacking mode.

Even though the camp had limited supplies, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Countless bullets rained down on Adam and Eve.

Faced with the attack of the androids.

Eve wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Adam.

"We come with the wish for peace! Please stop your attacks."

Obviously, conventional weapons no longer pose any harm to Adam and Eve.

As two individuals that have recently evolved autonomously from the mechanical life form network, they not only inherited the superior performance of artificial humans.

They also possessed the powerful invasion technology of mechanical life forms. If they wanted, they could even instantly infect all the androids present with the logic virus.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Thousands of years of fighting! Do you really think it can be stopped with just one sentence from you?" Adam's words seemed to irritate Annie Morning.

Not long ago, the news that humans had become extinct made her, who already hated humans, suddenly lose the target of her hatred.

Now even his former enemies told him that they wanted to stop.

So what is the purpose of the existence of these artificial humans?
Annie Morning's eyes gradually turned red at this moment.

"How can I repair it!" He watched as the bullets in his hands were emptied and he had no spare bullets left.

Annie Morning angrily threw the rifle in her hand to the ground, and then snatched the gun from another android nearby.

Continue to pour fire on Adam and Eve.

As time went by, everyone noticed that something was wrong with Annie Morning.

But with the enemy at hand, no one could stop to check on Annie Morning.

At this time, several aircraft were flying towards the camp in the sky.

The powerful firepower instantly made Eve and Adam, who had been dealing with it easily, unable to adapt.

Start choosing to retreat.

After the two retreated, White in the flying vehicle in the air did not order his troops to continue pursuing them.

Compared to the two weird mechanical life forms, the humans in front of them are obviously more important.

From a distance, White saw Jonathan below through the scanning device on the flying vehicle.

After confirming that the other party was indeed a human, White's heart was no longer calm.

"Annie Mourning! What's wrong with you?" The android next to her looked at Annie Mourning with some disbelief.

Her red eyes at this moment clearly showed that she had been infected by a logic virus.

"9S!" Seeing this, 2B shouted to 9S beside her.

As a scanning type, 9S has the ability to clean up logical viruses.

"What happened!" White left the aircraft after landing.

Then I saw a group of people surrounding Annie Morning, who was about to go crazy.

"Leader, she's infected with the Loki virus!" said an artificial human in an extremely complicated voice.

Hearing this, White was also stunned.

"Help me control her!" 9S shouted loudly at the side.

"It looks like you need help." At this time, Jonathan came out.

Without further ado, he used telekinesis to control the mad Annie Morning.

I saw Annie Morning, whose limbs were controlled by Jonathan's telekinesis, lying flat and suspended in the air.

All the androids were stunned.

Although their bodies are the product of a combination of technology and magic.

But they don't know how to use magic.

So they couldn't even understand Jonathan's methods.

"What...what kind of technology is this..." 9S stared at Jonathan blankly.

"9S!" 9B was very angry at 2S's rude questioning of Jonathan.

Or maybe he was afraid that White would care about it very much.

As expected, White looked at 9S without saying anything, but it was not difficult to see the hint of blame in his eyes.

"This is not a technology, but telekinesis." Jonathan explained. In fact, the witch's telekinesis can also be considered science and technology.

Although it is essentially the result of a mutation.

"Well, now is not the time to explore this. Let's deal with Annie Moning's matter first. I think she doesn't seem to be in a good condition."

Jonathan pointed at Anne Morning, who was still going crazy.

At this time, 9S finally reacted and began to hack into Annie Morning.

During this time, White, with the Yoerha troops behind him, came to Jonathan.

All the young ladies suddenly knelt down on one knee with their right hands on their chests.

Shouting in unison, "Glory to mankind forever!"

As Jonathan listened, he suddenly felt that it was a bit ironic to hear these words coming out of their mouths.

According to the information he got from Diawara and Popola, these artificial humans had never seen a real human being from beginning to end.

But living for the glory of mankind, isn't this an irony?

"My Lord Human! I am White, the commander of the Yoerha Force. It is my greatest honor to meet you!"

White, the android who directed the entire YoRHa Project, is actually an android from an old era.

So she has emotions.

Even if she didn't believe Jonathan, the human who suddenly appeared, the results of the scanner could not be wrong!

"Now that you're here, Commander White, can you answer our previous questions?"

Jonathan was also very curious at this moment whether there were any survivors in this world.

"That's right, White! Tell me! Our fighting for so many years! Is it meaningful?" Annie Morning has also woken up at this moment.

9S looked a little tired.

The task of removing logical viruses does not seem to be easy.

"Annie Mourning." After hearing Anne Mourning's question, White felt very complicated.

If it wasn't for the purpose of giving these artificial humans a reason to continue living, why would she participate in the YoRHa Project?
"White. Tell me." Anne Morning's voice was a little low.

Obviously, deep down in her heart, she has already accepted this cruel fact.

But is this White's fault?

Anne Mourning didn't know.

Looking around, White found that many people were looking at him with expectant eyes.

It seems that he hopes to tell them that humans are still alive and well on the moon.

According to Diawara and Popola, it may just be that their memory is disordered.

Unfortunately, the truth is often so cruel.

Under the gaze of everyone, White sighed, as if with a hint of relief.

He said to everyone, "Dilwara and Popola are right. Humanity was wiped out more than 8,000 years ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, many androids lost their balance and sat directly on the ground.

"How could this happen! Why! What have we been fighting for all these years?"

I had already vaguely felt the difference between me and Annie Morning.

The other androids firmly believed that humans were still on the moon, waiting for them to win this war and then return to the ground.

But now, all beliefs collapsed in an instant.

The eyes of the artificial humans glowed red.

Apparently, they were all infected with a logic virus.

It is not so much that the virus has infected them, but rather that their logic has become inconsistent.

A scam that lasted tens of millions of years, making them spend their entire lives just for the re-emergence of humans, but now they are told.

The human beings they were waiting for had already perished.

For them, this was a heavy blow.

At this time, the people in Yoerha's army were in a much better situation than those androids.

After all, they also fight against mechanical life forms for a shorter time.
