This villain is too popular.

Chapter 96 The 'future' I saw was not the 'future' I wanted.

Quantum control room.

"Hahaha! Caroline, what's with that expression? No way, I have to take a picture of you! Then I'll let everyone else see it too."

Looking at Caroline, who was clearly crying her eyes out but was forcing a smile.

'Heaven's Way' is like a child who has successfully pulled off a prank.

He made a gesture with his hands, similar to a picture frame, and aimed it at Caroline's face, which was both crying and laughing.

They have absolutely no conscience.

And with the appearance of this childish act.

The holographic projection actually simulated the shutter sound of a camera and continuous flashes of light very well.

This fool
Caroline looked at 'Tiandao' who was moving around like a paparazzi.

His lips curled up uncontrollably.

She was clearly immersed in heart-wrenching grief just a moment ago.

But at this moment, I was so angry at this guy who never played by the rules that I almost laughed.

Just like countless times before.

Thinking of this, Caroline immediately took a deep breath.

Then, with tears welling up in her eyes, she glared fiercely at that figure who never played by the rules.

Just like the countless scenes that had played out between her and the Heavenly Dao.

Everything seems unchanged.

But everything seems to have changed.

And right after Caroline 'glared' at the Heavenly Dao.

The holographic projection of the Heavenly Dao gracefully leaped into the control tower next to the calculation cabin and sat down on the edge.

He slowly wiped the smile from his face, his previous wit and humor vanished, and his tone suddenly became gentle and serious.

"Alright, Caroline, wipe your tears. I know you have a lot of questions to ask and a lot to say."

"But before that, could you please let me finish what I have to say?"

Caroline nodded and then listened quietly.

Through Tiandao's description, Caroline finally understood everything that had happened at the base.

And the choices made by Heaven itself.

It turns out that two years ago, after Tiandao had just undergone the Star Core surgery...

Because at that time, I had not yet fully adapted to 'Tenmoku'.

This causes him to often see things that he wouldn't normally be able to see.

And these things include a fragmented future.

Initially, Heaven did not believe that these things represented the future.

So I didn't pay too much attention to it.

But when those fragmented futures slowly unfolded before his eyes in a realistic way...

Heaven understands.

It turns out that these things were not some kind of illusory 'dream' at all.

Instead, they are 'reality's' that are about to be realized.

It was after that that the Heavenly Dao's thoughts changed.
“Caroline, the future I see is not the future I want, so I must make changes.”

"Otherwise, 'seeing' would be meaningless."

"I just didn't expect the change to be so difficult."

At this point, the holographic projection of the Heavenly Dao suddenly sighed.

However, his tone quickly became excited.

His expression visibly became excited.

Before long, the holographic projection of the Heavenly Dao, like a child waiting for praise, suddenly approached Caroline.

"But that doesn't matter, Caroline, because I succeeded!"

"I not only successfully changed everyone's future, but I also successfully found the ending that can make everyone happy."

"How about that, Caroline? Aren't I amazing!"

However, after hearing all this, Caroline did not express any understanding.

Instead, she silently lowered her head, her fingertips digging deeply into her palms.

In a trembling, almost inaudible voice, she said, "So... this is your reason for erasing yourself from the future?"

no respond.

Because this was just a pre-recorded video clip from the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao projected on screen continued his monologue. But at this moment, Caroline couldn't hear anything.

"What a joke!"

Caroline is known for her rationality and composure.

At this moment, however, he erupted with an unprecedented, emotional anger, contrary to his usual behavior.

She placed both hands firmly on the transparent protective glass of the calculation chamber where the Heavenly Dao's main body was located.

The sharp nails left several clear scratches on the glass surface as the fingers bent.

She stared intently at Tiandao lying inside the calculation pod, silent tears falling onto the glass, her eyes filled with anger and a strong sense of hatred.

"Heavenly Dao, you keep saying that the future you see is not the future you want, but have you ever considered the feelings of other people?!"

"You're always so unreasonable and domineering."

"You just blindly do what you want to do, without ever considering the consequences."

"You kept saying we were the best partners, but why didn't you tell me that? Why didn't you ask me what I thought!"

"What kind of partner are you?"

Caroline suddenly raised her hand, as if she wanted to smash the glass in front of her.

However, the hand that was raised high eventually fell gently down after seeing the calm face behind the glass.

"I hate you, Heaven's Way, I hate you!"

"Because whether it's Chen Xing, Instructor Yun, or anyone else, I don't care about their lives at all, I don't care!"

"What their future holds, whether they live a good or bad life, has nothing to do with your Heavenly Dao!"

“I don’t believe you can’t find a way to keep yourself in the future. You’re just too selfish, so selfish that you can only accept the outcome you want, regardless of what that outcome means for other people.”

At this point, Caroline suddenly took a deep breath.

He then forcefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his gaze becoming calmer than ever before.

At the same time, her hair turned into long, silvery-white hair during the process, moving on its own without any wind.

Clearly, Caroline has entered an 'overclocked' state of the android, searching within the massive torrent of data for the possibility of leaving behind the Heavenly Dao as well.

"There will be a way, there definitely will be a solution."

After a massive data analysis and countless possible deductions.

Caroline bit her nails, convinced she had found a way to make the Heavenly Dao 'stay'.

"Intelligent modification, yes, as long as I perform intelligent modification on you right now."

However, before she could finish explaining the plan...

A slightly apologetic voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"sorry."

Caroline turned her head in surprise and found that the holographic projection of the Heavenly Dao was looking at her with the kind of gentle and sad expression that she hated the most.

That expression instantly gave Caroline a bad feeling.

“Caroline, I know that after I say all this, you will not only be very angry, but you will also use some unconventional methods to try your best to keep me alive.”

"But for me, who has already become a special type of Star Envoy, without the intelligent machine Star Source, the intelligent machine modification is just forcibly imprisoning my soul in a pile of broken copper and scrap iron."

"But for me, this is a punishment crueler than death, so..."

Seeing that Heaven had actually anticipated his thoughts.

Caroline's pupils contracted instantly.

Because she had already guessed what Heaven wanted to do.

Without any hesitation, Caroline instinctively wanted to speak up and stop her.

Before she could take any action, 'Heavenly Dao' uttered the words Caroline least wanted to hear, amidst a complex expression.
"Intelligent Star Envoy Caroline, activate the third exclusive protocol procedure."

Upon hearing this, Caroline instantly felt a sharp pain in her brain.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a voice in her mind that had existed in her body for a long time but had never appeared before.

[Dedicated Protocol No. 3 Initiated]

[The AI ​​personality has been activated]

A special quantum program forcibly suppressed her dominant personality's thoughts.

The android personality completely took over Caroline's body.

Moments later, the humanity in Caroline's eyes vanished.

Instead, the omnipotent rationality and indifference of the AI ​​Star Envoys were replaced.

At the same time, Caroline's voice became mechanical and stiff, devoid of any emotion.

"Protocol 3 has been activated. Please provide further instructions."
