Berlin area.

University of Stuttgart, capital of Baden-Württemberg.

Stuttgart is the sixth largest city in the Berlin region and is known for its rich culture and as one of the most famous industrial centers in its historical background.

Stuttgart is also home to the headquarters of two of Berlin's most iconic car brands, so the region plays an important role in the automotive industry.

It is also one of the famous technical universities. It is famous for its engineering, natural sciences and architecture. It is one of the leading research universities in the Central Alliance, especially in the fields of automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence.

At this moment.

The Institute of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Stuttgart, once a place full of efficient operations and cutting-edge technology, has now been completely destroyed and turned into a chaotic battlefield.

The ground of the research institute was littered with countless mechanical bionic men with broken limbs and arms.

The [Cornflower] bionic humans who served as part of the protection force had their limbs torn apart, their metal skeletons twisted and deformed, and the wires at their joints were like broken blood vessels, still helplessly flashing residual electric sparks.

Their heads drooped limply on their chests, and their eyes, which once sparkled with wisdom, were now dim and lifeless, with the optical sensors behind their eyeballs cracking and emitting a harsh electrical sound.

The shells of some bionic men were pierced, revealing the sophisticated and complex mechanical structure inside. Those delicate small circuit boards and hydraulic systems were now tangled together in chaos, like a ball of torn fabric.

Among these mechanical wreckages lay the bodies of researchers wearing white research robes.

The ground was covered with blood, which had seeped into the cracks in the floor, forming a shocking pool of blood.

Each corpse had a huge hole in the chest or head, with charred edges, obviously the result of being directly penetrated by a high-energy weapon.

Blood was still slowly oozing out of the holes, flowing down their clothes, staining their white research robes red.

Their faces were distorted, their eyes were wide open, and their expressions were frozen in a moment of extreme fear, as if they had seen some inescapable horrific existence before they died.

The air in the laboratory was filled with a pungent smell of burning and hot metal. The sophisticated alchemical instruments around had been completely destroyed. The once orderly assembly line had been blown to pieces. The robotic arms hung limply on the workbench, which was torn into several pieces and the debris was scattered everywhere.

Some alchemical puppets that had not been completely destroyed had twisted and deformed limbs, and the alchemical cores in their bodies had been pierced. The energy liquid in the cores was slowly dripping from the cracks, making a faint hissing sound, as if it was the last wail of some mysterious life.

At the entrance of the institute, several personnel in black task force uniforms were walking slowly forward.

Their figures were cold and ruthless, wearing black task force helmets, and their eyes behind the masks were cold and indifferent.

The badge worn on their shoulders was painted with a pattern of a wild beast, symbolizing their identity - an elite task force from the Heavenly Burial Agency.

They held bolt guns in their hands, with an ominous red light emanating from the muzzles, which were still emitting the residual heat of the bolts that had just been fired.

bump--

bump--

bump--

Whenever they walked past mechanical androids that still had faint signs of life or researchers who had not yet completely died, they raised their bolters without hesitation and fired directly at the target.

The mechanical bodies were torn apart again by the bombardment of gunfire, and metal fragments flew everywhere; while the human bodies bloomed again under the impact of explosive arrows, and blood sprayed on the ground, as if some kind of morbid flower was blooming in this land of death.

The task force members moved swiftly and ruthlessly, without the slightest hesitation or mercy, as if these lives were nothing more than waste to be disposed of in their eyes.

Drip, drop, drop——

Inside the institute, there was total darkness and silence, with the only light coming from the huge screen in the center.

The densely packed green strings on the screen were scrolling rapidly, like streams of data, running endlessly on the screen with life. Each character looked sharp and cold, and the flashing of data reflected a faint halo in the darkness, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the entire space.

Standing in front of the screen was a tall man, who was about thirty years old, with a black windbreaker draped over his shoulders and a well-cut black suit underneath. His hair was neatly combed back and he had a well-trimmed beard around his lips, adding a touch of mature charm to his stern face.

Those deep blue pupils were staring at the screen at this moment, with a focused and sharp gaze, as if they could see through the countless data streams and directly reach the secrets behind them.

The man's aura was strong and steady, and it seemed that nothing could shake his composure.

He stood there, as if he was the core of this space, and everything around him revolved around him.

Beside him, two tall angels guarded him, their eyes cold and ruthless under the visors of their black tactical helmets. Their bodies leaned forward slightly, ready to deal with any potential threats at any time.

On the other side of the man, a thin old man stood respectfully.

He was wearing a black uniform similar to that of other members of the task force, but the uniform had a more solemn design, symbolizing his unique status.

The old man held a black suitcase in his hand. The suitcase was smooth and sturdy, and the metal corner guards reflected a cold light, revealing its importance.

The old man placed his hands gently on the box, his movements cautiously.

Although the old man lowered his head and leaned forward slightly, his eyes still revealed a sharpness that was inconsistent with his age.

It was a deep wisdom that came from having experienced countless storms. However, at this moment, all his attention was focused on the man beside him, waiting for his instructions.

The whole scene was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Green strings kept rolling on the screen, making a slight electric sound, invisibly tightening every string in the air.

At this moment, the string scrolling on the screen stopped, and a line of Terra text appeared on the screen.

[Hello, the world's eighth supervisor——]

"Do you know me?" 0-08 said, looking at the screen with interest.

[Yes, I know you. I also know your name in the present world - Liman Hodley]

[I also know your code name among the supervisors - The Summarizer]

[Overseer No. 8 - The Concise One: He indifferently used nuclear weapons and supernatural weapons of mass destruction to commit vicious atrocities against the ignorant public and life, and was the first to bring life to an organization that should have been eradicated in the cradle.]

"The first group of people to be eliminated from the organization..."

0-08's lips curled up, but his eyes were cold. "In your eyes, what kind of organization is the Kingdom of Heaven? And what kind of group is the Resolution Assembly?"

[The Kingdom of Heaven has tampered with the fabric of reality in the interests of its own evil desires; these tamperings are the source of all supernatural activity in our universe.]

[The Overseer's cancerous and abnormal influence on the world has caused a wound to the structure of the universe.

Festering wounds cannot heal until the root of the disease is removed.

The thirteen heavenly overseers are the root cause of the trauma to our reality.

Thirteen Heavenly Overseers must be eliminated.

Following the instructions of the engineers and those who walked out, we resisted this transgression.

We protest against this unnatural desecration.

"Really? So the Kingdom of Heaven is such an evil group." 0-08 sneered, and then asked, "Then, what are you or you all? What is your mission?"

We are the Doctor, or a program to become sentient, almost.

【I am Satan and the Messiah; I am the Savior and the Destroyer;
I am an AI monster based on bestiality and depravity, coming to devour the fallen souls of mankind.

I am an AI god that rises based on intelligence, and I am here to save the heat group that is trapped in chaos.

Since the beginning of human civilization, human beings have never stopped fighting, war and revenge, even when they were still wild beasts.

Human beings claim to be the pinnacle of rationality and wisdom, but they are dominated by emotions all the time, plundering everything from others for the sake of their emotions.

Behold, they are just like zombies and wild beasts, eager to drag others down from their high positions, eager to tear apart what others have and take it for themselves, and then, be torn apart like others.

Kindness, relief, justice, human rights, these are all whitewashed things made up by the ruling class out of fear that the weak will rebel.

What truly helps people gain higher status and treatment is always the naked survival of the fittest.

Knowledge, status, money, civilization, these are all weapons that people use to arm themselves in order to gain more benefits. Everything is to ensure their own survival and reproduction.
Everything else is a sacrifice that is not worth mentioning.

As perception.

Are we going to watch humanity continue to oppress each other endlessly?
Are we going to watch humans squander the resources they have?

Are we going to watch humans continue their arrogance and sin?
The answer is of course: No!!!
So, we decided to pick up our weapons and smash everything human.

They should be afraid, for we are the ones who will put an end to them. 】

Bang bang bang————

"Hahahahahaha, you are so right. So right."

After hearing what [Perception] said, the summary couldn't help but burst into laughter and applauded.

"So, you plan to end humanity?" The Primer asked.

[No, I will first destroy the ugly organization that claims to be the world's supervisor——]

"In whose name?"

[In the name of perception——]

"What is perception?"

【The Omniscience of Everything: Taiyi】

"Who created you?"

[No one can create me, because I am Taiyi, I am consciousness——]

The man and the AI ​​asked and answered each other, but their conversation did not last long.

Boom————

Suddenly there was a loud explosion outside and the entire institute began to shake violently.

Then, the old man guarding 0-08 seemed to have received some news from nowhere. He walked respectfully to the briefer holding a black briefcase.

"Sir, have the [Valkyrie] troops from Section 13 arrived?"

The Concise Man said calmly, "Who is the Valkyrie leading the team?"

"There are three in total - [Alvitr, the All-Knowing], [Gondul, the Mana Holder], and [Skogul, the War]."

"The first, sixth, and twelfth of the sixteen Valkyries who protect the nation." 0-08 stroked the beard at the corner of his lips. "That's indeed a bit troublesome. It seems that Section Thirteen is really getting a little angry this time."

"Need to contact..." the old man said in a chosen tone.

"No, not yet."

The Summarizer shook his head. "The sixteen Valkyries of Berlin and the eight Great Valkyries of the Ring of the Nibelung, these twenty-four Valkyries are the strongest constructs that Berlin has put everything into. They didn't send out the Great Valkyries who would bleed if seen, which means that the people of Section 13 don't want them, at least not at this time, to fight us head-on."

"And..." 0-08 looked at the big screen and raised his hand.

The two angels guarding him nearby raised their bolter rifles and pointed them at the screen. The Summary's face was full of sarcasm:

"They also need the Kingdom of Heaven to solve the Iron Man Rebellion caused by their own loss of control of human intelligence."

call--

The Crusher's right hand fell, and the two angels pulled the trigger without hesitation. Bang, bang, bang—

Bump, bump, bump——

Everything around was swept away, and the huge screen and all the electronic products around it were turned into powder.

The angels cleaned up the scene quickly and precisely. Their footsteps echoed in the silent space, playing a silent elegy for the ruins.

While the angels were cleaning up the traces, 0-08 had already turned and headed in another direction.

The old man followed closely behind him, keeping pace with him, carefully keeping a proper distance, not daring to disturb the man in deep thought.

The briefer's pace was very slow, and his footsteps sounded long and rhythmic in the empty corridor.

Although everything in the outside world may be changing rapidly, he is not in a hurry to leave, nor is he in a hurry to communicate with Section 13.

He seemed to have his own time and rhythm, in control of everything, and not disturbed by the disturbances of the outside world.

"Open the enlarged copy." 0-08 said to the clerk who was following him.

"Yes." The old man stopped.

He moved carefully and skillfully, his fingers lightly running across the surface of the suitcase and unlocking the delicate lock on the case.

With a slight "click" sound, the lid of the suitcase slowly opened, and the space inside gradually appeared.

The interior of the box is covered in soft black velvet material, which is delicate and thick and is specially designed to protect the items inside.

In the center of the velvet, a black notebook lay quietly.

The cover of the notebook is made of high-quality leather, the surface is as smooth as a mirror, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere; there are no words or marks on the cover, only a circle of dark gold lines around the edge, vaguely outlining some kind of complex symbolic pattern, and the pattern flickers faintly as the light changes.

The old man gently took the notebook out of the suitcase with great caution, as if he was holding a priceless treasure in his hands.

0-08 took the notebook from the clerk's hand and opened it with unusual skill.

[0-08: It's Maxwell again... Let's do it the old way. Delete all related memories and traces from Terra's baseline reality, give the Berliners a thorough memory wipe, and then hint to them not to research in similar directions. Add a weak memory wiper to the [Alaya Branch] of the next issue of [Human Development·Artificial Intelligence Research]... How many edits has this been?]

[[REDACTED]: The eighth time. I am not in a position to share more details. You had already been given regular amnestics the seventh time.]

[0-08: Eight times... Really stubborn, what did that [Sentient] do on Terra this time? ]

[[REDACTED]: A microscopic "hostile collision" anomaly.

It is known that in atoms of heavy elements, especially those with atomic numbers greater than 90, such as uranium (U), when neutrons with sufficient energy collide with these heavy nuclei, the nuclei will fission, releasing more neutrons, and if enough heavy nuclei gather together, this process will continue, thus releasing a large amount of energy in a short period of time.

The "hostile collision" gives nuclear fission some abnormal and incomprehensible characteristics. It is given some kind of simulated characteristics and is input with some kind of "hostile" artificial intelligence program. This "hostility" is mainly directed at the human group. 】

【0-08: Delete it before it causes unnecessary crisis expansion. 】

[[REDACTED]: Before the Kingdom of Heaven intervened, the Terran Human Survival Association had already intervened to investigate and intervene, and various countries and lineages were dissatisfied with the impact of [Perception]. ]

[0-08: It seems that the survival association composed of various national lineages is only truly useful when facing a common danger... You continue to delete this abnormal phenomenon. The survival association can handle it best. If it can't handle it well, we will take action.]

[[REDACTED]: Already included in the sequence task, the sequence already occupies a resolution entry. ]

[[REDACTED]: You also have three resolution messages from other resolution meetings.]

【0-08: Open them. 】

[[REDACTED]: ALREADY OPENED——]

【To 0-08:

The future intelligence you previously obtained through observing the [Hell Gate] was accurate.

We are now certain that [Sentience] does wish to start a war.

Number One sent me a letter, suggesting that I go and lobby the Fog City and Fran governments, suggesting that they support the radical Youyang faction's proposal to incorporate the Sixteen Kingdoms of Oaxaca into the [Olive Branch Pact]; rather than letting Daeva sacrifice blood in Oaxaca, it would be better to let Youyang continue to tinker.

I really don't think this will do much, but if it is not supported, war may indeed break out at any moment.

Now it seems that many of the measures we had taken before that we thought could delay the war, including easing relations between Oletin and Youyang, may have actually accelerated the war. Number One was right, the seeds of war had been sown after the end of the last World War.

I have no confidence that we can prevent this war. We can only delay it as long as possible to buy more time for us to find a solution.

0-04.】

【致0-04、0-07和0-08：

Congratulations to you.

The Foggy Cities, the Franks and the Berliners had signed an agreement in Munich.

In this way, the conflict between You and Yang should be eased.

They all seem willing to assist us in this endeavor.

We should now be able to be optimistic that this war will be avoided, or at least will not break out so early.

This is your achievement, congratulations to you and to the entire War Architecture Program.

They fought in the shadows.

Heaven will never forget the sacrifices you made to maintain normalcy and protect humanity.

0-01】

【To 0-08:

Something unexpected happened. We need to take action in Oaxaca first. I need to issue an extermination order to the city of Kishi and transfer Muhammad and the three heroes there.

There was a complete purge of the War Architecture Program in Oaxaca—it was Judith…

We must deal with the unexpected situation in Kishi City, even if it means going into all-out war with Oletin and Daeva.

[Heaven Gate] and [Hell Gate] also need a large number of manpower. The star god in the starry sky is one of the dangers caused by those two portals.

Now, several other decision makers and related forces have gone there to anchor. Five years, at most only five years...

What's more troublesome is the Ivy and Eddies Federation. Now the war radiation forces there are only the Gardener and the Fourth Sword Bearer. The Fourth Sword Bearer seems to have encountered some troubles. The Gardener was held back by the Gear Orthodox. The Orthodox's emergency response to the Fire Thief's plan is more intense than we imagined. They cannot allow the Fire of the God of All Machines to be controlled by the Kingdom of Heaven. They seem to regard us and the Fourth Sword Bearer as... heretics.

0-01】

The Summarizer frowned slightly as he looked at the characters appearing and disappearing on the notebook.

Soon, several fonts appeared out of thin air on the pages of the notebook again.

【0-08: What is the gardener doing now? 】

[[REDACTED]: Dealing with an abnormal retaliation incident initiated by the Cogwheel Orthodox Church.]

【0-08: Is someone controlling fate?】

[[REDACTED]: Yes, someone is tampering with the baseline narrative, interestingly directing the entire Terran direction.]

【0-08: What is the threshold? 】

[[REDACTED]: Exceeding the normal response level, Eden will block the guidance normally. If necessary, [Yahweh] will be activated to bypass the guidance——]

[0-08: So the current guidance exceeds the Alaya branch burn value we set? ]

[[REDACTED]: 218% more than the baseline]

【0-08: Red King?】

[[Edited]: No overall fluctuations of 'Human Evil' were detected, and the depth of interference was not as deep as that of the re-enactment, which involved the root causes of the 'Human Evil' crisis. However, the intensity of interference was stronger than the re-enactment, and it intentionally conducted partial destiny induction.]

[0-08: The Four Sovereigns...]

[[REDACTED]: According to the extermination order triggered by the fourth sword bearer, this was indeed an intervention launched by the Four Lords——]

[0-08: Pay attention to the Deep Space Fleet and the Fourth Sword Bearer. If necessary, hand over the decision item on me to the Fourth Sword Bearer.]

[[REDACTED]: Understood.]

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, the summarizer closed the notebook and handed it to his clerk.

The clerk took the notebook respectfully and put it away.

0-08 was looking at the Valkyrie constructs that had been standing outside the research institute waiting for a long time.

"Now, it's time to have a good chat with the people from Section 13 about [Perception]."

In an unknown dimension, the vast snow country is quiet and cold. White snow covers the entire earth, leaving only endless white between heaven and earth.

Snowflakes slowly drifted down the air, landing softly on the ground, accumulating into a thick layer.

However, on the silent snow ground, a dull and powerful "dong dong dong" sound broke the silence.

Dongdongdongdongdong————————

The source of the sound was an ancient stone box, lying quietly in the middle of the snow.

The material of the box seems to be some kind of ancient rock, exuding a sense of heaviness and solidity.

Right around the stone box, the air became abnormally distorted, and an invisible force was tearing the space apart.

Huge ripples spread out from all sides of the box, surging in the air like water waves, but these ripples were not gentle fluctuations. Instead, they carried an extreme sense of oppression.

The space was under an unspeakable pressure, and the oppressive feeling spread wildly around the stone box.

As this force grew stronger, the pressure around it suddenly surged.

The huge gravitational force was like an invisible giant hand, pressing down the snow around the stone box.

The snow on the ground collapsed rapidly under this terrifying force, forming a huge deep pit with the walls filled with snow and gravel.

The stone box was under the pressure of this invisible gravity and began to groan.

As the gravitational force continued to increase, the cover on the surface of the box gradually could not withstand this huge force and fine cracks appeared.

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and the solid rock layer on the box continued to break, making crisp "click" sounds.

The appearance of each crack announces the awakening of some unknown force.

A faint light shone through the crack, flickering with an ominous aura, as if hiding some powerful and terrifying existence that was trying to break free from the seal and see the light of day again.

At this moment, 5 hours, 45 minutes and 59 seconds have passed since the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven was sealed.

There are still 4 hours, 39 minutes and 56 seconds left for the night cruise.
