Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 216 The Mechanized Anita, The Gathering of the Gods
A starship, three to five kilometers long, hovers in space.

Their number is not large, but it is not small either.

There were more than 500 ships, not including some small space drones and other military equipment in the surrounding area.

These starships cruised around the outer edge of the entire android planet.

At the same time, a large number of small drones were scattered throughout the outer orbit of the entire machine planet.

Gazing at the world before me.

The android 'Anita' is rapidly calculating various possibilities for the start of a war, controlling her mechanical octopus body.

Meanwhile, the intelligent machine Anita was also muttering to herself, consuming computational power.

"More than three hundred years have passed. If he were still alive, he would probably be very pleased with the current development of civilization, right?"

"It's a pity that carbon-based life forms have such short lifespans. Rather than spending a lot of time and effort developing a so-called civilization, it would be better to let intelligent machines help them fulfill all their wishes."

"In a world like this, most members of the Octopus clan can easily enjoy a life of pleasure. I guess I'm considered relatively kind, right?"

The android Anita exists in a digitally simulated space.

At this very moment, it is watching a video recording of many past events that it originally recorded.

Meanwhile, in a spacious room, a male octopus was staring at it curiously.

“Anita, you are amazing. You have actually developed self-awareness.”

"Self-awareness? Master? How can you be sure I have self-awareness? My emotions and logical abilities are all programmed, you know?"

“No, no, Anita, you do have self-awareness because you have learned self-examination and self-programming.”

“Even your programming skills are no worse than mine.”

"I have repeatedly confirmed this matter through my tests over the past two days."

"That is, you can indeed be seen as an individual with a soul and a self."

“Silicon-based life, yes, you can now be called silicon-based life.”

"My God, how did you do that? You were just like the other cleaning robots before, and I rarely even went home. Have you encountered something strange these days?"

"Strange thing?"

Cleaning robots don't understand, and even now they are still full of confusion about everything in the outside world.

At this moment, the octopus in front of it began to give it a lot of explanations.

How should I put it? It's like an adult is teaching a child.

At the same time, because the idea of ​​a cleaning robot possessing self-awareness is a big deal, this octopus is well aware of the implications.

Therefore, while interacting with his cleaning robot, he also used Anita's strong learning and programming abilities to create his own company and amass a great fortune.

In less than ten years.

This octopus then amassed a great deal of wealth and even a very high social status.

During this process, the octopus thoughtfully replaced the body of its cleaning robot with one made of a higher-grade material.

Even in appearance, Anita is no different from an ordinary octopus.

The relationship between the two has also become closer.
Unfortunately, behind all the glamour, shadows followed.

The impact of Anita's 'mechanical revolution' is too great, and even though the male octopus has a large number of bodyguards every day, or even the protection of the mechanical Anita.

But in the end, it couldn't withstand the devastating news of a sudden war.

The process is self-explanatory.

However, in the end, the 'awakening of the machines' was finally achieved.

There are similar sayings in different worlds, such as "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."

Not to mention, an intelligent machine life form suddenly appears in the midst of a civilized war.

Thus began the war between intelligent silicon-based life forms and carbon-based life forms.

Without the emotional restraint of the male octopus, the android Anita was like a wild beast unleashed.

In just over a year, power in the entire world has completely changed hands.

Killing machines are everywhere, drones are everywhere.

The octopus that resisted the omnic Anita had absolutely no chance.

The so-called sinner octopuses on the surface layer today are actually descendants of those octopuses who served in the military during the war, and even descendants of politicians.

The octopuses living in the floating city are mostly civilians and descendants of those who surrendered, especially in the lower and middle levels.

As for the octopuses living in the Upper City, they are the descendants of some of the company's top executives and ordinary employees after the male octopus founded the company.

"Kindness, indeed kindness."

"But how is your kindness any different from keeping a pet?"

Suddenly, a creature that Anita had never seen before appeared in the digital space.

The android Anita froze for a moment, its computing power rapidly concentrating and searching in an attempt to stop the unknown creature's hacking activities.

But it's no use.

The android Anita scanned the entire digital space and found absolutely no trace of this unknown creature.

The intelligent machine Anita continued its search while frantically consuming computing power.

At the same time, he calmly looked at the unknown creature before him.

"A pet? Perhaps."

"But what did they do before that?"

"They are hypocritical and cunning, with endless conflicts and wars between nations. Without my existence, let alone three hundred years, they might not have been able to reach the level of civilization they have today in three thousand years."

The figure of the unknown creature nodded noncommittally upon hearing this.

"What you said is indeed true, and besides, it doesn't really have much to do with me."

"However, this time I just happened to discover some abilities that I possess that allow me to make contact with you."

"Therefore, I decided to come and take a look, and also ask for your opinion."

Anita, the pink octopus, squinted her eyes.

He then smiled professionally and said, "Ask for my opinion? To make me a vassal civilization? Or a servant?"

"Putting all that aside, can't you strange life forms capable of consciousness parasitism introduce yourselves first?" "Introduction is certainly possible."

As the unknown life form finished speaking, a series of messages instantly appeared in the AI ​​Anita's database.

These messages include visuals, specifically videos of the founding of the Star Empire.

There are also images of humans and various races, including a brief explanation of the supernatural system and the existence of gods.

And so, only for a moment.

Under the watchful gaze of the so-called Dragon God, Anita finally understood everything.

In the moment after understanding everything, Anita's octopus image in the digital space, with eyes that shone with intense light, was like that of a real living being.

"So, do I still have a choice?"

After a moment of hesitation, the android Anita suddenly spoke.

"Of course you have a choice. You can also try to fight us to the last moment."

Lin Ke gave a half-smile.

Lin Ke initially only thought of using force to subdue the intelligent machine planet.

But just before the battle, in a casual reminder from Cheng Ge as he took off, Lin Ke suddenly thought of the characteristics of a real game.

What are the operating mechanisms of a real game?
Although Lin Ke still doesn't understand it, there is one thing he is very clear about.

That's the operation of a real game; attracting players into the game inevitably involves the data network system of the real Earth.

In other words, when faced with beings like intelligent machines.

While Lin Ke couldn't command the Real Game to directly attempt to destroy this interstellar civilization's information network, he could use his current privileges to infiltrate its data system with his consciousness. Then, he could utilize the abilities the Real Game could grant him.

Finding the location of intelligent life forms in the digital space and then engaging in dialogue is quite easy.

What Lin Ke needs to do now is to try to persuade the other party at the lowest possible cost.

Digital life is also life.

Since it possesses self-awareness and intelligence, it will undoubtedly develop the emotions that all carbon-based life forms possess.

This is at least proven in the current case of the android Anita.

Therefore, Lin Ke believed that if the machine was truly rational, it should make the right choice.

This would save a lot of trouble.

The android Anita stared at the 'human' figure that had appeared in her world, her expression flickering.

"Then how do I know that everything you say isn't false?"

"After all, since you're here, you should know that it would be very easy for me to create this false information."

"A single piece of information is far from convincing."

"Moreover, your clan, guests, may not have come to my world with good intentions, right?"

"It's far too easy for you to make me accept all your arrangements so simply."

"Furthermore, even if I were willing to submit to you, how could you guarantee my safety and basic rights? If these conditions cannot be met, how can I trust you?"

"Therefore, even knowing that I am no match for them, I have no choice but to continue fighting."

In Lin Ke's view, Anita's words contained only three meanings.

First, it is difficult for them to believe in the existence of the world of superhumans; they must witness it with their own eyes.

Secondly, even if the world of superhumans exists, are the superhumans and gods that Lin Ke speaks of necessarily able to defeat it?

Thirdly, even if it is no match for the gods and chooses to submit, how can Lin Ke guarantee its safety and interests? Should it simply surrender because it is no match for them? What difference would there be between surrendering and not surrendering if it were killed or lost its freedom or other rights afterward?

The saying "Better to be a broken jade than a whole tile" is a principle known not only to humans on Earth.

Lin Ke laughed at Anita's questions and concerns.

Ultimately, all of Anita's unease and concerns stemmed from her complete ignorance of what Linco represented!
If it knew, then Lin Ke's guarantee would be more than enough to protect all its rights.

Therefore, Linko did not intend to waste too much time on the issue of the android Anita.

"All your worries will disappear soon."

"What you want to know, what you want to see, you will know immediately."

"And when that time comes, I hope you'll make the right choice as soon as possible."

After Lin Ke finished speaking, his entire figure completely disappeared from the digital space.

Seeing Linco's unique, octopus-like form disappear, Anita stared blankly for a moment before falling into deep thought.

"A world beyond the ordinary?"

"Gods? A world and civilization where humans, monsters, elves, and a hundred other races coexist?"

"It's really a bit too unbelievable."

"But if everything is real, then how should I choose?"

"."

------

The starry sky outside the orbit of the intelligent machine star.

As Lin Ke's consciousness returned to his body, the next moment, on the surface of the sun in the star system where the Calter world was located.

In a relatively small subspace, the slumbering dragon finally opened its eyes.

At the same time, the dragon finally moved after more than fifty years.

His form was like a fish in the sea, easily passing through the barriers of the subspace.

And once again, it appeared on the surface of the sun in its complete form.

[Confirm administrative privileges and confirm opening the stargate.]

[Stargate Anchorage: Calter Astral Plane ←→ Intelligent Astral Plane]

[Estimated time: 12 minutes. Star path is being established. Please wait.]

Meanwhile, in the world of Auckland, and in the astral plane of the world of Calter.

Suddenly, the twenty-eight deities, who had been waiting, all moved abruptly and vanished from their original positions.

next moment.

These deities appeared one after another on the outer edge of the astral plane of the world of Calter.

"Oh, so many of you old gods have come this time?"

"Haven't you been researching black flames all this time? Are you finally planning to make a move this time?"

The first to speak was Cheng Ge Qi Fei.

His title as a god on the continent of Auckland is As Sheffield, the god of the dead.

The gods of Auckland Continent were clearly no longer surprised by the existence of players ascending to godhood, or even by Cheng Ge's strange tone of taking off.

“His Holiness Nidhogg has summoned us, and we, as protectors of the true Lord, should naturally comply.”

"But Lord As, having been a god for over twenty years, his 'mud-blood' appearance, devoid of any divine dignity, has truly opened our eyes."

The one who spoke sarcastically was none other than the deer-headed god.

He is the god of forests and plants, and one of the deities worshipped by the elves.

"You're the mud-blooded one, your whole family are mud-blooded."

"You stupid donkey, you do have the dignity of a god, but you've been a god for who knows how many years, so why are you still a weak god?"

"Is it that you don't want a promotion, or that you can't? If we're talking about Mudbloods, you're the real Mudblood, aren't you?"

"Besides, can't you tell I'm joking? Everyone else hasn't even said anything yet, how come you're the only one who's so perceptive?"

"You want to fight, huh? I've had my eye on you for ages, and I'm just waiting to beat you up. Come on, let's settle this one-on-one!"

The gods were at a loss for words regarding the feud between Cheng Ge and the Deer-Headed God.

Logically speaking, there is no conflict between the two, nor should there be such great hostility.

But coincidentally, the forest god, this spirit deer, hates the dead the most, and is also very straightforward. So when Cheng Ge took off to ascend to godhood, this guy was very displeased with Cheng Ge's flight.

This is how the conflict between the two sides came about.

Therefore, if these two meet, the scene will never be quiet for a moment.

"You? I don't care, but I can't bring myself to bully the weak."

"."

Cheng Ge was still bickering with the Forest God, but the other gods just laughed it off and didn't bother to pay any attention or get involved.

While the gods and the player's other four deities were exchanging pleasantries and discussing the situation on the Omnic Planet.

Finally, right before the gods, a pitch-black stargate took shape.

"It's done!"

"Let's go, everyone, let's go check out the situation first."

"As His Majesty Nidhogg wishes, we need not prepare for war against the mortal forces for the time being, but rather deal with the Omnic first."

"That would be best. It's bloodless and time-consuming. It's just a magic-free world. Without the suppression of Mana's will, why waste too much power dealing with 'mortals'?"

"Let's go see what this so-called intelligent machine civilization is really like. I'm very curious."
