Deposed? I couldn't be happier! I wouldn't even be a dog to the crown prince.

Shila-

The black and red cable web radiated terrifying heat.

The distance between them and Li Shimin's pale face, caused by blood loss, was only one micrometer.

The high-voltage electric arc had even scorched the tips of his eyelashes.

It emitted a foul, burnt protein odor.

But in that instant.

Everything froze.

It's not that time stops, but that all physical particles in space stop.

It was overwhelmed by an absolutely domineering higher-dimensional computing power.

It was forcibly locked in mid-air.

The massive, black titanium holographic dragon, baring its fangs and claws, remained in its diving, biting posture.

I can't move at all.

It can only produce a faint, clunky sound of gears grinding together.

Across the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii.

The once calm sea off Oahu.

Suddenly it began to churn violently, like boiling water.

It was not a volcanic eruption.

Rather, something enormous is awakening beneath the sea.

boom!

A massive, blue plasma beam shot straight into the sky.

It burned through the thick rain clouds, creating a giant hole hundreds of meters in diameter.

Immediately afterwards, the seawater was forcibly pushed to both sides.

It unleashed a terrifying tsunami that reached heights of hundreds of meters.

A giant aircraft thousands of feet long, entirely covered in pure black titanium alloy armor plates.

It bursts forth from the seabed.

This is not a product of the existing technology of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the "Quantum Ark".

It is the highest physical manifestation of the lowest level of the Tian Shu system.

The twelve miniature nuclear fusion engines at the stern of the ark ignited simultaneously.

It emitted a blinding, dark blue tail flame.

The propulsive force was so great that it instantly vaporized hundreds of tons of seawater in the surrounding area.

It turned into a thick white fog that covered several kilometers.

The ark did not climb at all.

It crashed directly into the oncoming waves.

The massive black titanium bow created a dark red, high-temperature sonic boom as it rubbed against the air.

Breaking the sound barrier, twice, ten times, fifty times...

It doesn't follow conventional aerodynamics at all.

Spatial jumps generated by quantum entanglement.

Over the vast distances across the Pacific Ocean, it's almost equivalent to teleportation.

Changan.

Above Daming Palace.

One second it was a blizzard, and the sky was a gloomy gray sky filled with wind and snow and dominated by a swarm of out-of-control drones.

next second.

The clouds were torn apart by a violent physical airflow.

That black titanium quantum ark, a thousand feet long.

Without any slowing or buffering, it landed directly and forcefully above the dilapidated dome of the Taiji Hall.

The massive hull blotted out the sky.

The entire imperial city was shrouded in a suffocating shadow.

The hot exhaust gas from the bottom of the ark poured down like a waterfall.

In an instant, the out-of-control drones hovering in mid-air were blown to pieces.

They crashed to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, bursting into bursts of sparks.

Inside the Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin opened his eyes.

He didn't see the gaping maw covered in electric needles.

All I could see was that massive metal ship overhead, so oppressive it made my heart stop.

And at the bottom of the giant ship, there was a hexagonal hatch that was slowly sliding open to both sides.

Quantum Ark. Command Center.

There are no scattered keyboards and Coke cans here, unlike in those Hawaiian safe houses.

Only absolute coldness and precision.

Countless lines of underlying code representing the highest authority of Tian Shu flowed across the walls.

Li Chengqian stood in front of the huge holographic floor-to-ceiling window.

He had already taken off his baggy, slightly sour floral-patterned shorts that hadn't been washed in a long time.

He wasn't wearing his signature Hawaiian shirt either.

He changed his clothes.

This is the first time in the history of Cyber ​​Tang.

This is a seamless conductive suit that is automatically covered from head to toe by liquid nano-metals.

Normally it is a dull gray.

But the moment it touched his skin.

This outfit is called "Supreme Chief Planner".

It began to shimmer with dazzling pure gold aurora along the muscle lines.

That light was not a reflection, but a tangible manifestation of computing power overflowing into real matter.

Li Chengqian raised his hand.

He took off the aviator sunglasses that were covering his dark circles.

He casually tossed it onto the metal floor next to him.

The sunglasses shattered into several pieces of glass.

It makes a crisp sound.

He didn't look down.

Those eyes were bloodshot.

Looking down coldly through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the command center.

Looking down at the giant black titanium dragon frozen in the sky above the Taiji Hall.

Looking down at the rioting mechs controlled by the "Digital Heavenly Way".

Looking down at the endless stream of black and red virus data flowing from the direction of the Qinling Mountains.

There was no panic in his eyes from seeing the old man nearly lose his life.

There was no anxiety about the rebels breaching their base.

There is only one emotion.

One's perfect vacation was completely disrupted because of constantly wiping butts.

A furious outburst that had been building up to its limit.

And with it comes an absolute rationality and extreme coldness.

"A bunch of dead garbage who only deserve to wait in the backstage recycling bin."

Li Chengqian's voice was amplified through the Ark's sound system.

The explosion resounded over Chang'an.

It was even more deafening than thunder.

"You think I'm being too polite?"

"You dare hack into my server and steal my network administrator privileges?"

He slowly raised his right hand.

That hand wearing a pure gold liquid metal glove.

Tall and slender with fair skin.

They even appear somewhat sickly due to the lack of sunlight for many years.

He looked down at the black titanium dragon struggling desperately, trying to bite through the spatial lock.

A cruel smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Li Chengqian did not type anything on the keyboard.

He simply raised his hand.

Her fair fingers flicked casually in the air.

"clatter."

A crisp snap of the fingers.

The sound wasn't loud.

But it's like a switch for some kind of ultimate command.

As the snap of the fingers fell.

Not just Chang'an.

Globally.

Datang has established 30,000 quantum computing centers in polar regions, deserts, and the deep sea.

The blue indicator light was operating normally.

In that instant.

Everything went out mysteriously.

Followed by.

It lit up with the same light as the protective suit Li Chengqian was wearing.

The pure gold aurora, which is dazzling to the extreme and transcends the laws of physics.
