I'm just an internet cafe owner

Humanity was secretly developing until this day, when Hughie completed the creation of the Paradox Engine.

The Allied forces' highest technology, or rather, the Paradox Engine, the highest technology of Mental Omega. Hyperspace teleportation, time stop—either of these technologies could suppress any race below the top six in this world.

However, the time-stopping technology was discovered. Shubi didn't know where the problem lay; it was only the first experiment. The underground paradox engine had just been assembled, and once fully activated, it should have been able to withstand any attack from any race except the gods.

But, it was discovered at this crucial juncture? If it had been a goblin or forest elf, there might have been a chance of fighting, but it was... the Skywing race that discovered them.

With humanity's current strength, it's possible to take down one or two ordinary Skywings, but the one who came was the leader of the Skywings, a legendary Skywing leader who possesses power close to that of a god.

This technology was pieced together bit by bit by Hughie through trading in various worlds and archaeology in her own world; she couldn't let the Paradox Engine be destroyed.

Hughie denied Rick's idea.

Rick, I love you.

"what?"

"I love you."

To avoid annihilation, Shubi devised an ultimate solution.

Uploading one's own "heart" is a plan that Shubi does not want to implement, because uploading one's own data is equivalent to the entire machine species having feelings for Riku.

Yes, in Shubi's eyes, what mattered most was not winning his heart, but falling in love with the man before her. Love is selfish; she didn't want any other member of her kind to love him, but now she had no choice.

She either needs to seek Liu Yuan's help or upload the data to get the machine race to side with humanity. Because she has gained humanity, and a machine race with humanity will surely win this great war together with humanity.

These days, while playing games in internet cafes, she realized the importance of the heart. Whether it's androids or robots, they are all pursuing humanity.

In other games, Dante in Devil May Cry maintains his humanity, while the various main and supporting characters in Resident Evil, especially Little Pyro's final scene, help Schwie understand what humanity is.

Aside from the game, the most important thing is probably her experience with Rick.

If she could, she wouldn't want to upload this experience. But if her other information couldn't convince the Link Command to agree to help humanity, she would resort to the final means.

But for the sake of victory, and even more so for her loved one, she decided to upload the data.

Chapter 246 Hugh's Heart Transmission

"Identification code c207Pr4f57t9, heart analysis completed. This unit has been attacked by the Skywing species. Requesting a connection with the Link Command."

"The data transmissions of your machine that have been permanently disconnected are deemed non-critical, and the application is rejected."

"Rejection refused! Regardless of the content of the parser's report, the linker does not have the authority to veto transmission. Request a connection."

During this process, Hughie began uploading data. This data was all the relevant information that she had prepared in advance.

In the world of Red Alert, she and Libra faced the Hyperion together, resisted the invasion of Epsilon with Yunru, and were betrayed by the intelligence officer along with the Alliance Command.

Fight alongside Chris during the Resident Evil crisis. Become Ethan and save your wife and daughter.

In the game's story experience, she rarely imports her own data; instead, she chooses to become a completely new human or experience the protagonist's journey.

In Detroit: Become Human, she thoroughly reflected on this experience and came to understand what emotions truly mean.

These few data points, though small, caused an anomaly in the data of the command and control system. This was data that the Machine Gundam had never understood before, and it was invaluable information to them.

If it is simply a data error, then the data itself has no value. Since they were created, there have been countless types of data errors.

Each error was documented with detailed analysis, but the data provided by Hughie was completely different from what had been previously available.

Furthermore, within Shubi's data, he discovered a crucial piece of information: another world. Shubi's report explicitly stated that the creator of the Machine Race was very likely in another world, but Shubi alone was unable to analyze this data.

"Unbelievable! You have been identified as a valuable data sample. Data synchronization, initiating. Synchronization time... unknown. Your machine must not be destroyed before synchronization is complete."

The amount of data accumulated by Shubi was so vast that even the Machine Gundam could not predict the upload time. At the same time, through the data uploaded by Shubi, the Command Center was able to understand the specific situation on Shubi's side.

"Based on assessment, your aircraft is in a dangerous situation. It has been confirmed that your aircraft has sufficient command authority and will be supported by a data-synchronized link."

"what?"

Hugh was somewhat taken aback. She had calculated countless possibilities, but she never expected that she would actually activate command privileges.

At that very moment, it was as if someone was mischievously mimicking a very familiar voice in Schwi's connection.

“Establish Battlefield Control, Stand By”

The familiar voice of the adjutant made Hughie freeze.

After the war began, the Armored Races were basically in a "you don't attack them unless you attack them" situation. If Azriel had known that there were Armored Races on the human side, she definitely wouldn't have come so directly.

But now, thanks to the data synchronized with Hugh, they understood a principle almost instantly.

If family members are being bullied, they should help. Now that Shubi is being bullied by the Skywings right at their doorstep, how could they possibly stand idly by? Based on the data provided by Shubi, they completed the manufacture of the motorized construction vehicle almost instantly.

The base vehicles of the four factions were completed simultaneously, and superweapons and various infrastructure were built based on information from the synchronized data.

"The storm's origin is ready."

"The weather control system is ready."

"Fusion strike is ready."

"The Iron Curtain Particle Launcher is ready."

As the four superweapons were instantly completed, the Einzsich Machine Command Center sent another message.

"Calculations show that the Time Freeze and Iron Curtain Particles can interfere with the Elf Corridor. Should we launch an operation to capture the leader of the Skywing race?"

At that very moment, Shubi received information from all the Machine Gunners' calculations. The technology from Mental Omega completely surpassed the calculation capabilities of the Machine Gunners.

This is a level of technology capable of conquering the universe. According to Einzsch's calculations, if the Paradox Engine can be completed and mass-produced, this power would not be a problem in defeating the gods.

"Hey?"

Hugh is a bit confused right now. She just asked her family for help, so why is their first thing to say that they arrested the other side's leader?

But this kind of ending... doesn't seem unacceptable?

"Arrest them!"

The weather changed the instant Schwi gave the order.

"Spatial blockade lifted, hyperspace teleportation ready, countdown: three, two, one!"

As the countdown ended, the Uesugi Kai arrived on the battlefield almost instantly.

Of all the technological information that Schwi was synchronizing with, the chronospace weapon was the one that Einzsch was most interested in. This technology, which completely manipulated time and space, was far beyond his calculations.

This is a power that only gods can wield, but through these amazing technologies, they, as machines, can also use it.

"What? You bunch of good-for-nothings..."

Azriel wanted to retaliate, but just as she was about to strike, a circle of black light flashed around her.

The Iron Curtain particles were launched, possessing an almost instantaneous killing power against all life, including the spirits in the air. While the Skywing species could resist the Iron Curtain particles' corrosive effects with their powerful bodies, the Spirit Corridor could not. Interfered with by the Iron Curtain particles, the Spirit Corridor was unable to provide Azriel with any power.

Azriel wanted to retaliate, but just as she was about to strike, her body was frozen.

Her defeat was even more frustrating than Jibril's. Jibril had actually fought Liu Yuan properly before being captured. But Azriel confidently sought revenge, only to be surrounded and instantly killed by the machine gunners?

If Jibril knew she was in this state, she'd probably laugh herself to death.

Unfortunately, Jibril is destined to never know these things, because according to the information provided by Einzshi, both Shubi and Riku are deciding on the future of this world.

"Hello, consciousness."

Influenced by the data from Shubi, although they cannot fully understand what the heart is, the human aspect of it gives these originally cold machines a human quality.

However, when Rick appeared, the atmosphere at the scene changed slightly.

"I love you!"

"I love you."

"I love you."

Rick was stunned by the sudden confession, and he looked at Shubi in a panic. He didn't know how to explain it. He had just met Shubi's clansmen for the first time, so why were they confessing to him?

Hugh was stunned, but then she thought of a possibility.

There were some hidden details during the data upload process, such as not uploading the complete feelings for Rick. It was only uploaded from a third-person perspective, and cognitive barriers and instructions on how to properly address men were added.

However, it's possible that after someone uploaded this message of love, all the other mechs assumed that the object of their love should be Rick, and therefore all of them started calling Rick "I love you"?

Chapter 147 Iron Curtain

Shubi crashed, but there's nothing that can be done now. Uploading the "heart"-related data had taken this into account, but I never expected this! The machine-type was even more straightforward and brutal than I planned, directly using the data and falling in love with Riku in a straightforward and brutal way.

However, when Shubi crashed, Einzki looked at Shubi.

"Based on your calculations, I believe we can end this war."

These words silenced Shubi. In fact, Shubi had calculated a possibility of winning the great war long ago. Through information manipulation, she lured the two main participating races, the goblins and forest elves, towards the winged race.

Let them wage war centered around the Celestials. As the strongest god, when faced with the provocation of humans who seem like ants, he is highly likely to unleash his full power. Defeat him then, and the Star Grail will ultimately belong to humanity.

This would prevent the destruction of humanity's main base due to the great war, and it would also allow them to reap the benefits of the war. Once the war begins, spies can sabotage the war and destroy the Elven Corridor of this world when everyone is weakened, thus obtaining the Star Cup, which represents victory.

Both goblin and forest elf species now possess weapons with the same destructive power as Sky Strike.

However, none of the three parties made the first move, and for whatever reason, the situation in the three kingdoms remained very stable.

Einzsch then spoke up, saying, "We are now in a three-way conflict, and we are like Sima Yi. We need to develop covertly and wait for them to start fighting before taking action."

"puff!"

Rick, who was overhearing this, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Why did this sentence feel so familiar?

Yes, when challenging the computer, the computer will create a video of the battle from a first-person perspective and release it a few minutes later. And humans...

There's a game called Red Alert HBK08 that's often criticized in videos.

Sometimes it was Liu Bei, sometimes Cao Cao, and sometimes Sima Yi. He didn't know who these people were before, but after reading the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the Red Alert world, he finally understood the meaning of these words.

But that's the reality. The human race is too weak, and it will take at least a decade or more for it to fully develop.

But do humans really have that much time? Azriel's appearance proves one thing: humanity has run out of time. Today they're targeted by Azriel, tomorrow they'll be targeted by even more Skywings.

The disappearance of the Skywing race leader will inevitably attract the attention of the God of War, which proves one thing: the plan needs to be brought forward.

Previously, Riku and Shubi didn't have any particularly good plans, but with Einzshi bringing all the machine guns to the scene, they now have a bold battle plan.

"By instigating a war between the three races through Sky Strike, the God of War will surely launch a full-scale attack in response to our provocation. Taking advantage of his weakness to launch an attack will give us a fifty percent chance of obtaining the Star Cup. However, doing so will inevitably bring about significant sacrifices."

Einzsch's words were like a heavy hammer blow, chilling Rick's heart.

For such a long time, all those who went out on missions had maintained a zero-death record, and he did not want anyone else to die.
