It's definitely a small country in terms of population.

However, according to statistics from 1945, Brazil's population is still 70 million, and the country's industrial, economic, and cultural development is very balanced, with the majority of the population concentrated in the southeastern coastal region.

The Midwest is almost entirely barren land.

Few of the small cities in the Midwest that were destined for future development still exist today.

For example, the current capital is still Rio de Janeiro, while the future capital, Brasilia, is currently still a wasteland.

The situation in Manaus is similar.

In the future, Manaus will be the capital of Azte state in central Brazil, the fourth smallest city in Brazil, with a population of just under one million.

But now, Manaus is just a large city on a tributary of the Aztec River with a population of over ten thousand.

For the past few hundred years, a legend has circulated in that great city: deep within the Yi Mei Ji Forest, there is no place without miracles.

Those people, guided by the gods, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a rich and peaceful life, free from worries and troubles.

In short, this is a place that is like a paradise on earth.

Almost no one in Manaus knows the legend, and of course, they only consider it a legend.

Although no one swore they had been to this place or seen any deities there, all those who followed the legends to search for this sacred land ultimately came up empty-handed.

What the people of Manaus knew was that the place had always been real, and that it was located about two hundred kilometers northwest of the great city.

The people here truly work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and have no worries whatsoever, always wearing a smile on their faces.

The reason why everyone finds that place is actually very close at hand is not because it is difficult to find.

Instead, it is those who discover that outside will forget everything outside.

The one who can do that is the god that the people of Manaus speak of.

However, if no one knew the true situation of that place, they would understand that it was simply a paradise without worries.

It is a hell that makes humanity completely lose itself.

Beyond that lies the secluded abode of Josie, a member of the Eternals.

And this so-called deity refers to Yi Mei.

The population living in that "paradise on earth" was less than 20,000, even less than the population of Manaus.

They are all descendants of the Spaniards, the Tlaxcalans (an Indian tribe that was hostile to the Zhukchaok), and the Imeik people from the Battle of Tenochtitlan.

And don't underestimate the number of tens of thousands. Tenochtitlan was once the capital of the Jucchavi Empire, with a population of over 700,000. With the addition of several thousand Spaniards and tens of thousands of Trascarian warriors, even after small battles, only a few hundred thousand survived.

However, the population of those hundreds of years ago, which numbered over 100,000, has not only not increased, but has actually shrunk to the same number it is today.

The reasons are complex; Josie is not a true god.

Aside from being able to manipulate human minds, I am nothing, and I have never thought about improving the living environment for those people.

So for hundreds of years, those who have been under my control have lived an extremely primitive, medieval lifestyle.

The harvest from basic labor is barely enough to fill one's stomach.

The medical and health conditions were also extremely primitive.

As an Eternal, Josie has an ordinary physique; she can live on food and drink, and even die from poison. So, a poor living environment has no effect on me at all.

But those humans I control are fine.

Having contracted a serious illness and suffered severe injuries, the only outcome was that she was controlled by Josie and died "peacefully," rather than receiving proper medical treatment.

Those humans are completely my puppets.

Even the succession of marriages was manipulated by Josie.

The same poor medical and health conditions also resulted in a high birth rate and a low infant mortality rate.

In that situation, it would be a miracle if the population shrank.

So what Yi Mei called protection was actually strangling the future of those humans. To them, I have never been a god, but a devil in divine clothes, playing with their perceptions in a lowly manner.

As the robot retreated into the village, seeing the numb smiles on the faces of the villagers and their mechanical behavior, Yi Mei's expression also became somewhat gloomy.

No, there are all sorts of conflicts among humankind, including brutal wars and even mutual slaughter.

But these are all human matters.

But once a race without any other identity uses the banner of gods to manipulate human behavior, that becomes a completely different concept.

During the years he traveled from another world, as a subordinate, Jin Gou's heart was as firm as a rock.

Therefore, I do not feel too little sympathy for those humans who are manipulated by Josie.

But feeling a sense of shared fate, Yi Mei couldn't imagine what it would be like if she were also controlled by Qiao Xi.

Someone like Josie should exist in that world.

"At all costs, kill Josie!" Golden Hook raised his hand and, through his wristwatch, issued a kill order to the mechanical legion thousands of kilometers away.

On that occasion, Yi Mei dispatched all 100,000 military robots she purchased from your robot world, and also bought thousands of manned robots from Youwai to facilitate the monitoring of the entire local area.

The purpose was to ensure that Yi Mei had no chance to escape.

Even a second less in the life of someone like Josie would be a tremendous threat to Golden Hook.

"Yes, he can do that!" Upon hearing the order to kill from Golden Hook, Carter paused and immediately shouted, trying to stop Golden Hook.

However, Jin Gou completely ignored me and was just staring intently at the holographic image behind him.

The moment the robot army retreated into the village, it alerted the villagers. However, the robots had no intention of wasting words with those "puppet masters" and immediately raised their Taser guns to fire.

Although it is a military robot, a small portion of its weapons are lethal.

However, even in military operations, there is no need to capture prisoners, so each military robot is also equipped with a deadly Taser, which is just right for dealing with the current situation.

In any case, for robots with limited nuclear carrying capacity, equipping them with fewer weapons and reducing their load will not affect their movement in the same way as human soldiers.

As the robots attacked, the villagers collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

Josie, who was in the center of the slow town, also realized that it was true. Before she could see the retreating robots by manipulating the consciousness of the humans in the inner area, she immediately controlled all the humans to rush out of the warehouse, pick up the weapons hidden outside, and end the disorganized retreat and counterattack against the robot army.

Through the robot's live feed, Jin Gou spotted an unfamiliar figure among the counterattacking crowd.

Who is Peggy Chuck?

Moreover, these special humans carrying guns pose little threat to the alloy-made robots.

Although his personal consciousness was controlled by Josie, Zhuke's fighting spirit was still preserved. He wielded the vibranium shield and vibranium sword, and was as if he were a human among the robot army. He caused very few losses to the robot army, which made Jin Gou frown.

If we measure the damage Zhuke caused to the robot army by the prices of Earth at that time, it's basically equivalent to one sword costing one building.

Even if Jin Gou had no money, he still felt a pang of heartache.

This includes the weakening of Zhuge after the addition of equipment, etc.

Jin Gou's investment in Yi Mei can be described as a complete loss.

Okay, but before that thing even starts, we have to exploit Captain Yi's labor force to a degree dozens of times greater than before.

Although Guo Zhuke performed amazingly, the number of robot troops was simply too small. No matter how weak your personal strength was, you still couldn't change the overall situation of defeat.

Josie, who was hiding deep in the village, was clearly aware of that as well.

So I decisively ended my escape.

Unfortunately, as a weak Eternal being who has enslaved humans for centuries, I have long been accustomed to this feeling of being inferior.

There was absolutely no expectation that things would turn out like this today, so it's possible that, like Jin Gou's habit, he's preparing various options for himself.

Faced with an army of 100,000 mechanical soldiers and manned aircraft with holes in the air for surveillance, my whereabouts would be exposed even in an environment like Azt.

Chapter 211: Finishing Touches.

In the Amazon rainforest, Carter continues to fight against the robots, even though he has no human companions left.

However, there were simply too many robots.

Moreover, they are fearless and undaunted by death.

Therefore, even though Carter was individually very strong, he quickly found himself in a tough fight.

Especially when a robot was cut in two by her, but its falling lower body still clung tightly to her feet.

In the Marvel universe, Stark and Spider-Man were right about one thing: when fighting someone like Captain America who's evenly matched, you have to target his lower body.

This argument also applies to Carter.

Thanks to this robot's efforts, more and more robots quickly grabbed Carter's limbs, and finally one robot climbed onto Carter's back and slammed the Taser device hard into Carter's bare neck.

In the end, our Captain Carter, like the other humans controlled by Zhuke, collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

At the very moment she was struck by the electric shock, Carter regained a sliver of consciousness, but soon a strong feeling of exhaustion washed over her, and she lost consciousness.

On the other side, Zhu Ke looked at the robot soldiers who surrounded him in dense numbers, and his heart was filled with despair.

He knew he couldn't escape.

But he didn't want to die, and he didn't want to sit and wait for his fate.

In this increasingly tense atmosphere, his brain began to work at lightning speed.
