People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Whether it was Mostima, who had already fallen from heaven, or Lemion, who had been in a coma for five years because of Andorn and was still recovering from the crisis, they had all forgiven the culprit who had caused them to become what they were now. Out of empathy with Sakota, he could understand Andorn's feelings at the time and the reasons for his actions.

But for Liberifia Meta, who did not have this kind of empathy, she really couldn't understand why Mostima and Lemion could forgive that guy, and why Andon, who did such a thing, was forgiven. On what basis did he deserve forgiveness?

She had seen the pain that Mostima and Lemiao had endured over the years, so she could not bear the fact that Andorn had not been punished until now and was still at large.

This also created some estrangement between Mostima, Lemion and Fiammetta. Of course, this estrangement was also spontaneously created by Fiammetta himself.

But if Andorne's return to Lateran had any impact, it did.

At 11 o'clock, Evangelista could already imagine Fiammetta's expression and the inevitable quarrel when Andorn returned to the Pope's Hall.

There is even a possibility that these two men will come to blows. Of course, it was Fiammetta who initiated the fight, but it is unknown whether Andorn would fight back against Evangelista XXI.

"I know Andorn, but if he wants to ask God a question... I can imagine what his question is. It's a pity that he might be disappointed."

He knew Andorn, but it was precisely because he knew Andorn that he knew what might happen when Andorn met "God".

"You mentioned Andorn, but he's just one of the guests you brought. What about the other one?"

"It's Theresa."

Evangelista XXI paused slightly.

“It’s the original Theresa.”

The original Theresa? That was a strange idea, but now they had arrived at the end of this secret passage, in front of a gate.

Behind this gate lies the greatest secret of the Lateran Church, the Lateran Church, and the Lateran Pope.

The "God" of Lateran.

"Doctor, I can feel Him behind me."

Amiya looked at the massive gate before her. Behind it lay the purpose of their current operation: the PCS system, the main engine of the "Fulcrum of Heaven" project, one of the many plans of a previous civilization to ensure its survival. It was also the system that, over a thousand years ago, transformed the Sarkaz from the Dark Ages into the "gods" of Shakotar and the "laws" of Lateran.

Evangelista XXI slowly stretched out his hand. Amiya suddenly looked at the Pope nervously, watching him put his hand on the huge door... Then he gently swiped it and opened a cover, revealing a password input screen.

After a dazzling flurry of password input operations, a mechanical braking sound was heard from behind the door in front of me, and then it slowly opened backwards.

"Ah, I thought Grandpa Pope, you were going to push this door open directly."

Amiya, with some novel plots emerging in her mind, couldn't help feeling embarrassed by her fantasies. Upon hearing what he said, Evangelista XXI stroked his beard happily.

"The Pope who built this basement once wanted to do this, but he rejected it because it was too inefficient, aside from a slight sense of ritual. He then gave the method for making this giant code door."

As the door slowly opened, Amiya and the others finally saw the scene behind the door.

It was an extremely large space. Judging from the length and slope of the secret passage stairs they had just descended, the ceiling of the space in front of them was almost the floor of the cathedral. However, it was obvious that the ceiling had been specially treated, and the metallic luster reflected on it meant that it was not so easy to be smashed through.

In the center of the huge room, a large number of blocks connected to each other to form the shape of "∞" and were constantly moving. When they noticed the arrival of the crowd, a blue light flickered in the center of "∞".

"You came."

This time everyone clearly heard the sound coming from that "∞".

Neither male nor female, neither old nor young.

It's a pity that this voice is still a little lacking in flavor for Fang Zhou. If a little bit of neither holy nor sinful meaning is added to this basis, it will probably remind Fang Zhou of a certain old bastard codenamed beast666 who is like an enemy and a friend.

"you are……"

Amiya looked at the ∞, and he slowly spoke in the flickering light.

"You may call me PCS, but in this world today, the new intelligent life here, represented by the old man before you, also calls me 'Law'."

PCS.

This name was exactly the same as the one Fang Ark had just said, which caused ripples in Evangelista XXI's eyes.

"But I originally only sensed a presence close to me, but I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise."

PCS looked towards the Ark, and the center of the "∞" kept flickering.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Prophet. My creator, Mr. Ed, has finally adopted your advice. My responsibility now is no longer to eliminate the existence that threatens this planet, but to continue its civilization and life. As you can see, the Sakota race, codenamed Evangelista 11, is the culmination of my efforts over the past thirteen thousand years. They were created using the blueprint of the creatures my creator, Mr. Ed, once mentioned, known as "Angels," and from the species codenamed "Sarkaz."

When PCS saw the Ark, the inorganic voice was obviously much happier. For this artificial intelligence, being able to see the existence of the same race as its creator after a long time, and even the Ark where they were colleagues before, was perhaps the happiest moment in the past 13,000 years.

However, Evangelista XXI, who was standing next to him, was not in such a good mood.

Although there is indeed nothing wrong with what PCS said, and the Sakota are indeed a new race created by PCS through the transformation of the Sarkaz, the tone of treating them as experimental subjects is really uncomfortable.

However, when I thought about how the Sakotas relied on this "god" to avoid hundreds of disasters on this earth over thousands of years, this discomfort was resolved. Although it is known that "god" is not the omniscient and omnipotent god described in religion, it is an indisputable fact that the Sakotas were born relying on this "god".

But... I didn't expect that this Doctor from Rhodes Island would have this kind of identity.

A colleague of the creator of "God"? How shocking.

"I'm glad Ed didn't get carried away and blew up with those guys in the end. After learning about Rutland's existence, I also learned about your existence and your deeds through my channels. Thank you for your hard work, PSC."

A blue light flickered within the 『∞』.

"You're too kind. This is the mission Mr. Ed has given me. As his creation, I must do my best."

Fang Ark nodded and then changed the subject.

"But there's one thing I need you to answer me, PCS."

"Please ask."

Recalling what happened at that time, Fang Zhou looked back at Kal'tsit and slowly spoke under the latter's gaze.

"Why, when I first woke up a few years ago, you didn't respond when I tried to contact you?"

"..."

PCS was silent for a moment, and even Evangelista XXI seemed to feel suffocated in this silence.

"To answer your question, sir. For these thirteen thousand years, I have been searching for a way to fulfill the mission Mr. Ed left me. I silenced all my faculties and poured all my energy into calculations, calculating all the possibilities for the continuation of this land."

After creating Sakota, I began calculating along this path. During this process, a significant portion of my functions were silenced, even basic communication and signal reception, leaving only the most basic ability to monitor Sakota. This is why I didn't receive your signal. Even now, I only escaped from the calculation and saw you because I sensed the crown carried by Miss Carters, a former civilization project with me.

Silencing all its functions and devoting all its energy to supporting calculations? You're really working hard, PCS.

"And I must speed up my calculations to prevent the resurgence of a catastrophe that could destroy all civilization on this land."

"A catastrophe powerful enough to destroy the earth?"

Ark frowned, but PCS answered his question before he could even think.

"Yes, based on my understanding of the Earth today, I can draw this conclusion. The Originium Project, the final of several previous civilization's plans and one of the projects you participated in, has gone out of control. The project leader, Precious, has seamlessly merged herself with the Originium. While the other plans haven't completely failed, the Originium has spread to every corner of this land, irreversibly integrating with modern life. I suspect Ms. Precious intends to ignore the other plans and directly initiate the Originium Project. I need to stop her."

After hearing what PCS said, Ark, Amiya and Kal'tsit all fell silent.

"Fortunately, Priss hasn't awakened yet, so this land still has a chance to breathe... Mr. Prophet, may I ask why you and your pet look at me like that?"

"puff……"

Putting aside why PCS identified Kal'tsit and Amiya as his pets, just what he just said made them speechless for a moment. When they heard PCS say that Precious had not yet woken up, Fang Ark and others were really stunned.

"Hey, PCS, let me tell you something. Don't be afraid."

"Please explain, Mr. Prophet. I am the artificial intelligence that oversees the management of the Heavenly Fulcrum and the Individual Connection Strengthening System created by Mr. Ed. I am professional and I am not afraid."

What a powerful sense of déjà vu.

The corner of Fang Zhou's mouth twitched, and then he looked at the constantly flashing "∞". After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell Him this cruel fact.

"In fact, your information is outdated. Three months ago, although the Originium authority was not fully obtained, Precious had already awakened. He is currently possessing the body of a Sarkaz in Londinium."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

They looked at each other in silence, and the situation changed several ways.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Chapter 462: Artificial Intelligence Wants to Achieve Universal Harmony

Why could a machine emit such a fierce scream? Fang Ark didn't know, and neither did Kel'tsit. But seeing the light within the ∞ transform from azure to a fiery scarlet, even a fool could tell that something was terribly wrong.

"Calm down, PCS."

The enormous mental force, wrapped in the power of Yak, instantly suppressed the PCS system that was on the verge of rioting.

"...Sorry, Mr. Prophet, I lost my composure a bit."

The red light returned to blue, the message the Ark had brought him being too shocking. Ed's mission was to ensure the continuation of civilization, so he had gifted the land of Sakota. In his vision, Sakota would gradually bring peace and tranquility to the land. While this would take time, thanks to the efforts of the previous civilization, as long as nothing unexpected happened and no one committed suicide, the current civilization would have enough time.

Precious's awakening will not come so soon. Although this still makes His time quite limited, He can still let the Sakotas hang out on this land without worry. As long as the current Pope brings the next Pope to Him every time, He can always ensure that there will be no problems with his proxy hanging out.

But now, He is a little bit broken.

Why did Precious wake up so early? It was obvious that no matter how noisy the monsters from the north and south were, they would not disturb this terrible woman. Even if the great tranquility in the ocean spread to the depths of the continent, Precious would still maintain a baby-like sleep. So why did she wake up now?

Regarding this issue, Fang Ark and Amiya felt a little embarrassed. After all, Precious's early awakening was closely related to them.

"That's probably because I brought back a variable called the Power of the Demonic World after my awakening this time."

"The power of the devil?"

The PCS system raised obvious doubts. As for this so-called demonic power, it did not find any related terms in its database. In other words, this thing was completely unknown to it.

Evangelista XXI felt a gaze staring at him, and that gaze was obviously coming from PCS.

"We also have some intelligence on this matter, but we haven't had time to input it into your system yet."

Evangelista XXI pulled out a small crystalline medium from his pocket. Inside it was the information he had compiled about what Mostima had encountered during this period. A blue light scanned the crystalline medium in Evangelista XXI's hand, and the medium immediately turned into an information stream and merged into the PCS system. Then, in the dim light, it turned into a USB flash drive and fell back into Evangelista XXI's hands.

"...It's a truly miraculous variable. The power of the alien and the power of the demon can cause time in the universe to freeze on a macroscopic scale. However, due to lack of information, I can't confirm whether time on the microscopic scale has also been suspended along with the will of the individual named 'Amiya'."

If time in the microscopic sense also stagnates due to the will of Carters named Amiya, then everything will become different, because this means that the uncertainty of information will collapse and evolve into the only certain direction. In other words, the development of the world will revolve around the will of Amiya.

"The information Your Holiness has given you is merely what Mostima has gathered through personal experience and subsequent investigations. It's a more comprehensive account... Let me tell you."

The red data stream flowed from Fang Zhou's fingers into the PCS terminal. The excessive amount of information even made PCS feel a little stuck. At the same time, he felt that the man in front of him seemed to have set something in his body... Well, it doesn't matter. After all, he is Mr. Ed's colleague and will not harm him.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes, and then he looked at PCS.

"It's truly miraculous, no, it's truly bizarre. How could such a force arise in the universe? This completely contradicts any of our understanding of the universe, unless the universe itself is alive. However, this explanation is truly too shocking, enough to overturn much of our understanding."

PCS seemed to be in a state of excitement, but as an excellent artificial intelligence, this excitement soon calmed down.

"I believe the power of the demon can save this land, and it's also the means by which I can completely eliminate Him. However, as I mentioned in the message I transmitted, Precious doesn't believe in the power of the demon. Or rather, she doesn't believe in the power of the demon that's not under her control."

Fang Ark didn't care that Evangelista XXI was listening nearby. As a future collaborator, there were some things that the Pope naturally had to know.

"I understand what you mean. So, are you here hoping I can reactivate the Fulcrum and provide you with armed support? However, I must remind you that most of the Fulcrum's armaments were destroyed by the Lumberjacks' offensive thirteen thousand years ago. Currently, the only weapons available are electromagnetic railguns, high-yield kinetic cannons, and some small aerospace weapons. They have lost their ability to launch planetary devastation."

"???"

Several question marks crossed Evangelista XXI's forehead.

No, God, why didn't you say you were so awesome before? I've always treated you like a mainframe computer.

"No, we're already well-equipped with armed support. It's just a tacit agreement. Until now, Precious and I have tacitly agreed not to use forces beyond the limits of what this land can currently withstand. Whether it's the power of Originium or weapons that can destroy the planet, we haven't used them without authorization. We've kept the struggle between the aliens and the knights. After all, neither we nor Precious ultimately want a land of ruins."

If the intensity of the battle truly escalates to the point of planetary destruction, even with the Ark's methods, the Originium on Terra will be destroyed, a fate Prisus cannot tolerate. And if Prisus acts without justice, it could easily cause a devastating blow to Amiya. You say I can't strike the Demon King directly, but if I unleash the Originium Earth, won't you explode? Why do you think I don't unleash the Originium Earth? Don't you want to?

In short, both sides are now in a strange state where they are mutually constrained and can only engage in proxy wars.

"I'm not here to get your help right away, but to act as an insurance policy and prepare for the situation on this land after everything is over."

When Fang Zhou said this, PCS already understood what the person in front of him wanted to do.

"I understand. I can point out a solution to your problem."

Fang Zhou looked at PCS with great interest, wondering what he would say.

"On the outskirts of Lateran, there is a woman named Felia Laporta. Her daughter will show the way for Lateran's future."

Felia Laporta, Fang Ark was not very familiar with the name itself, but when it came to his daughter, Fang Ark was very familiar with it.

Cecilia Laporta, if it weren't for him as a variable, then this girl named Cecilia would have become the second person to make the sound of the holy bell echo throughout Lateran after the first ringing of the holy bell of the Revelation Stone Tower of the First Order of Saints in the Dark Ages.

After receiving this news, Ark talked with the PCS system about the Preserver Project. Ark had great respect for the scientist who was still trapped under the steel shell.

Thirteen thousand years of loneliness is enough to drive any intelligent life crazy. This is why the Ark still does not blame Precious for displaying such a crazy ideology now.

Because he understood how terrifying it was to be alone for thirteen thousand years.

But there is a saying that goes, I understand why you do these things, but that's all I can say.

Understanding is understandable, but understanding is never equal to forgiveness. The positions of both parties mean that there will never be a possibility of reconciliation.
