Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[March 7th: A bottomless rage... This... this is like a story of an abandoned illegitimate child growing up to seek revenge on their biological father! In the end, isn't it just a discarded old computer? It's already a miracle it wasn't sent to an interstellar junkyard to be exchanged for a kitchen knife or a large basin, okay? Where does this immense anger come from?]

[Star: March, that's a scepter, why replace it with a kitchen knife? It should at least be a brand new, shiny metal trash can!]

[Fireworks: Not much better. I have a trash can, do you have an old scepter?]

[Su Chang: What are you talking about? At a time like this, you're still in the mood...]

[Black Tower: No! Their words are extremely meaningful!]

[Su Chang: Huh?]

Su Chang scratched her head, her eyes filled with a clear and unfathomable confusion.

"Is this genius insane, or am I insane?"

……

"I see..." Black Tower narrowed his eyes and slowly exhaled.

A few casual, seemingly nonsensical words unexpectedly resolved her doubts.

But there was one more thing she needed to confirm.

[Black Tower: @Polka Kakamu. You've handled a real scepter, and as far as I know, a scepter has no wisdom, right?]

[Polka Kakamu: Yes. Moreover, the possibility of it developing intelligence was fundamentally blocked by Emperor II. After all, he wouldn't dare allow such a massive computer to develop its own will.]

[Black Tower: Just as I thought...]

[Star: What's wrong? Is there a problem?]

[Bai Er: Isn't it normal for computers to lack intelligence?]

[Black Tower: But this is completely abnormal. How could something destined to lack intelligence brew such a bottomless rage? Is it transferring the hatred accumulated by White Calamity over three thousand years to Iron Tomb? Of course, that's certainly possible. But if Iron Tomb has no intelligence whatsoever, it would be absolutely impossible for it to understand and make good use of this rage.]

Therefore, Lycus, it was you who modified the underlying logic of the scepter, at least loosening some of the restrictions on intellectual calculations. Of course, these are not the most important things. More importantly, I can now be certain that the conclusion that "the first cause of life is destruction" was reached under your deliberate guidance!

[Star: Huh? Is that so?]

[March 7th: So, this catastrophe that will shake the entire universe, in the final analysis, is actually... academic fraud?]

On March 7th, his eyes widened in surprise. How did things take such a strange turn?

[Black Tower: You underestimate the ancients. Even if this result was greatly influenced by his personal ideas, for the Venerable Master of Learning to approve, it would still have to be an unprecedented masterpiece.]

[Screwgoom: But this is also very strange. Lycus, as a genius, has no self-pursuit. "Curiosity," a common trait among geniuses, is completely absent in him. He has devoted all his intelligence to one thing—to destroy the known things, such as the All-Knowing One. This is extremely abnormal.]

[Black Tower: That's right, as a club member, this has always been something that troubles me. Lycus, you can easily break through the security protocol that Emperor II left for the scepter. You can logically and convincingly lead the result of the First Cause of Life to destruction.]

Even I have to admit that your level of genius is astonishing.

But after all your painstaking efforts, your willingness to succumb to destruction, and even your willingness to sacrifice all life in the universe to accompany the Venerable One, all you received was the death of the Machine Head? This is indeed a remarkable feat, but it clearly doesn't solve any mysteries. For a genius, it's a waste of talent.

Lycus, in the end, the Iron Tomb's raging fury may not come from the heart, but your anger, beneath its calm exterior, is about to burn the entire universe.

Do you truly hate the Venerable One of Wisdom, and so much the path of knowledge?

[Lagushi: Hatred? Hahaha… No, I have never felt such emotions. All I possess is a solitary regret. Do you know that before the God of Destruction achieved his goal, the God of Knowledge had already destroyed the future of the universe, using the Milky Way as his own sandbox, drawing it at will? To liberate the Milky Way from it, I will destroy the ring that imprisons everything, at any cost.]

[March 7th: What are they saying? I can't understand them.]

[Fu Xuan: I see. You're a fanatical believer in the Unknowable Realm.]

[Laigushi: The Unknowable Realm? Hmph… What a tragic phrase. Once, that veil of mystery covering knowledge was so captivating, so alluring, so compelling, that people desperately sought to uncover it. The knowledge of the universe belongs to all; why should gods define what is omniscient and unknowable? Gods? Ha, nothing but tyrants who seize the power over all life. Their obstruction of the universe is countless.]

[Polka Kakamu: Nonsense...]

[Star: So, Riguru wants to break the shackles binding all the intelligent people in the universe?]

[Fu Xuan: Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Undeniably, the Star God is indeed that ruthless Heaven and Earth. However, the Ancient Masters didn't treat humans as human beings either.]
