Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 196 Pledge Your Allegiance to Me
When a former belief is revealed to be a scam, everything built on it will collapse.

None of the rebel androids were spared, except Annie Mourning, all of them were infected with the logic virus.

They cannot accept this kind of deception.

Just like Anne Morning just now.

Thinking of their companions who had sacrificed their lives in front of them over the years, they were filled with deep anger.

Because all of this exists only for the sake of a hope that does not exist.

This is pointless behavior.

However, the rebels were like tools being manipulated at will, and they continued to fight the mechanical life forms tenaciously.

And their companions, one after another, lost their lives because of this illusory hope.

After thousands of years of changes, these emotional artificial humans have come to consider themselves living beings.

Seeing the rebels gradually disappearing in the air, White quickly organized the YoRHa troops to surround Jonathan.

Although the hope they once had was a lie, the human being before them was a living human being standing in front of them.

So White thought that she must not miss this opportunity again.

"Annie Morning, come here quickly! They have all been infected with the logic virus! It's very dangerous!"

Seeing that Annie Morning was still among the resistance soldiers and androids, White said a little anxiously.

"What's the point of me living?" Annie Morning did not do as White said, but knelt down on the spot and looked up at the sky with the scorching sun.

He gradually fell into madness and became indifferent to his companions around him.

"Annie Mourning! Humans are back! Why can't you figure it out?" White looked at Annie Mourning, very puzzled.

She pointed at Jonathan, her tone very complicated.

White had known the truth many years before, during a communication between her and the Moon.

As an artificial human who knows the truth, White has not had a peaceful life over the years as she carries this heavy burden.

But I couldn't talk to anyone.

Because every artificial being needs a reason to exist, if they lose humanity, then they will lose the meaning of their existence.

Therefore, even in order to give all the androids a reason to continue living, White had no choice but to conceal this lie.

"So what if he's back? Can those dead companions come back to life because of his return?" Annie Morning asked, pointing at Jonathan.

Hearing this, Diwala and Popola wanted to say something, but just when the words reached their throats, they saw Annie Morning's slightly hateful look.

They could only keep their words at the edge of their mouths.

When Jonathan saw that he was involved, he did not avoid it and stood up directly.

Looking at the artificial humans around me, their behavior has begun to become a little strange.

He first turned to 9S and asked, "9S, if I control them and give you enough time, can you save them all?"

9S heard Jonathan's question and was stunned.

Although he really wanted to nod at this moment, his strength did not allow it.

It had already taken him a lot of effort to clear out the virus from Annie Morning.

Seeing 9S's troubled expression, Jonathan knew the answer.

But just as he was about to ask if there was any solution, White interrupted him.

"9S can't save them alone. 2S, 8S, go and help."

After White finished speaking, an android from the YoRHa unit who looked exactly like Miss 2B stood up.

At the same time, a young lady with pigtails and a black eyepatch covered her eyes like 9S and 2B also stood out.

"If the three of them work together, it may take a little longer, but they should be able to solve their problems." White said to Jonathan.

Hearing this, Jonathan nodded, but did not blame White for acting on his own.

If it were just because of obedience, this group of artificial humans would not be that important.

All Jonathan wanted was their autonomy and decisiveness.

Compared to Weyland Industries' cyborg technology, the androids in NieR's world are more like humans when making choices.

Rather than a machine.

"Get ready." Jonathan said to 9S, 8S, and 2S.

Then he activated the super body state, and the output of telekinesis increased several times in an instant, controlling all the androids infected with the logic virus present.

Seeing this, the three of them came to the nearest android and began hacking.

After solving the logic virus, Jonathan walked up to Annie Morning.

The tears in Annie Morning's eyes have not dried yet.

Jonathan saw a lot in his moist and crystal eyes.

There is a nostalgia for the world, but also a despair for being deceived.

I am also tired of the meaningless sacrifices over the years.

"A substandard tool will eventually be discarded, right?"

Anne Morning looked at Jonathan approaching her, slowly closed her eyes, and welcomed her fate.

She knew that her doubts about humans had made her unqualified to continue living as a tool of humans.

Perhaps dying like this is also a good ending.

Thinking of this, Annie Morning's mind kept flashing back to those comrades who had sacrificed their lives.

But the cold voice she expected did not sound, instead it was Jonathan's indifferent tone.

"Don't worry, you won't be abandoned."

"Although I don't know what the humans in your world think."

"But I think you have the right to hate those humans."

Jonathan thought to himself that he had fought for thousands of years just for an illusory hope.

Then suddenly tell yourself that this hope is false.

He will probably go crazy and destroy the world.

So Jonathan felt that it was natural for these artificial humans who only hated their Creator a little to have such feelings.

After hearing Jonathan's words, Annie Morning raised her head and stared blankly at the human in front of her.

She didn't expect that such words would come out of Jonathan's mouth.

"Do I... really have the right... to hate those people?"

Anne Morning stared at Jonathan blankly.

Hearing this, White frowned.

"Annie Morning, they are our creators." White stood up and said to Annie Morning.

Jonathan reached out to stop White and shook his head, signaling her not to speak.

"You have the qualification, even if you didn't have it before, but now you have it. Because I gave you the qualification."

Jonathan finished speaking, raised his head, and looked around at the out-of-control androids. "All of you have given me this qualification! You will no longer be tools of the humans in this world!"

"Your next identity will be my Jonathan's soldier!"

"Your next mission is to fight for me! Instead of continuing to fight meaningless battles with mechanical life forces in this world."

Jonathan's words silenced all the androids. Even those with red eyes gradually lost their anger at this moment.

Reason gradually returned.

"From now on, you will be the sharp blade in my hand, Jonathan. My will is your mission!"

"You are no longer tools without meaning to exist!"

Although Diawara and Popola did not fall into the same logical confusion as these artificial humans, they heard that Jonathan was willing to acknowledge their status.

I was also very touched.

Tears also welled up from the twins' eyes.

Drops onto a moon tear flower on the ground.

"The humans in this world have already withdrawn from the stage of history, but it doesn't matter, because I'm here!" Jonathan continued to speak to these artificial humans.

Facing Jonathan's speech, White remained silent. She quietly looked at the YoRHa Project model androids around her that had been born not long ago.

I thought to myself, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give all the androids a home.

Looking at the obedient androids around him, Jonathan released his telekinetic control.

Without the control of telekinesis, the androids stood up one after another.

The madness in his eyes was gone.

He just looked at Jonathan with a little confusion.

"Commander White, are you willing to lead the Yoerha troops to pledge allegiance to me? Please note, pledge allegiance to me. In the future, it is very likely that you will become my weapon against other humans."

Jonathan looked at White without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

This is also a problem after the super body state is activated.

Listening to Jonathan's question, White didn't even hesitate, even though her core had a program that couldn't harm humans.

But since it is a program, it can be modified.

Under the influence of magic elements, the control of these programs is actually not impossible to break through.

In a sense, the so-called logic virus is a weapon used by mechanical life forms against artificial humans.

On the other hand, isn’t this also a rebellion of the androids against their own programming?

White shook his head and knelt on one knee.

"My Lord Human, we, the Yoerha troops, will become your sharp blades and cut off all the existences that block your path, no matter our enemies are humans or others."

White actually broke through the limitations of the program very early on.

Therefore, her words of loyalty, which could be said to be anti-human, really shocked many Yoerha-type androids.

But the obedience to the commander's orders, which was etched into their programming, prevented them from standing up and objecting.

Jonathan discovered this through subtle observation, so he asked White this question.

Seeing that White gave him a satisfactory answer, Jonathan nodded, then turned to look at Anne Morning beside him.

"Annie Morning, are you willing to lead the resistance army and pledge allegiance to me? Please note, pledge allegiance to me. In the future, it is very likely that you will become my weapon against other humans."

same question.

Anne Morning looked at Jonathan, her eyes changing from confusion to determination.

She stood up from the ground and walked towards Jonathan.

Unsure of whether she was a friend or foe, Diwala and Popola picked up their weapons and stood in front of Jonathan.

Prevent Annie Morning from suddenly attacking and hurting Jonathan.

Seeing this, Jonathan waved his hand to stop the twins.

The twins looked at each other and then made way.

Anne Mourning passed them.

Came in front of Jonathan.

Like White, she slowly squatted down and knelt on one knee on the ground.

"My Lord Human, we, the resistance army, will become your sharp blade and cut off all the existences that block your path, whether our enemies are humans or others."

Anne Morning said seriously.

Perhaps she was more sincere in this oath than White.

White simply wanted to find a reason for the androids to continue to exist.

Anne Morning, like Diawara and Popola, regarded Jonathan as a savior.

So that her deceased partner would not seem so meaningless.

Because everything is for the encounter with the human being in front of me.

From then on, the fate of artificial humans was completely changed.

After getting the recognition from the two leaders, Jonathan had taken most of the artificial humans in this world into his possession.

The rest include some rebellious androids and some androids who are tired of the war and are hiding away.

All the rebel androids, as well as YoRHa's troops, became Jonathan's forces.

Although their total number is not very large.

But to some extent, they represent the world's cutting-edge technology.

The bunker also contains information on all the aircraft models of YoRHa’s troops.

As long as he returns to the dimensional city, Jonathan can use the resources from other worlds to start madly creating artificial humans.

Once the artificial human army is formed, they can come back and completely occupy the earth.

Although after so many years of destruction, the resources of this earth have been used up by machine life forms and androids.

But compared with the total resources of the entire planet, they only use one ten-thousandth of the resources.

What's more, many of the production lines used by mechanical life forms are left over from humans in the old days, and the raw materials used are also refined from scrap metals.

After the deal was settled, Jonathan exited his superhuman state.

Looking at the two commanders who were still half-kneeling in front of him, Jonathan quickly asked them to stand up.

"Now, contact all the resistance forces and Yoerha troops on missions on Earth that can be contacted."

"Then, we'll meet in the bunker."

Jonathan is going for the big one this time.

Hearing this, White nodded, then communicated with the communication model behind him, asking her to send a broadcast message to all YoRHa models performing missions on Earth through the bunker.

Similarly, after receiving the order, Annie Morning returned to her tent and began fiddling with the radio used to communicate with other rebel forces.

In addition, she also has the mission of telling other rebels the truth about this world.
