Zerg in the crystal wall world

Yangju Network is not a purely digital network.

It is a deep dimension that relies on the existence of world barriers. It has an inseparable relationship with the soul and spirit. This is why even in the absence of flesh and blood, the Hive Mind can still distort the soul of an omnimachine.

Although the will of the master and the emperor were transcoded in some form through technical means, the confrontation at this time was also a real "spiritual fusion."

The Lord has always been interested in the Emperor of the Empire, a human being who was evaluated by Erin as "the most powerful human being in history", "a man of unknown depth" and "suspected to be of the thirteenth level".

After all, the system and culture of the empire were undergoing an almost frenzied centralization of power. It could be said that the stability of the empire was all maintained by the emperor. From a certain perspective, he was the "master" of the human empire.

What kind of person would the emperor be?

Paranoid dictator? An egomaniac who thinks he is noble? A hero whose brain is burned out by a sense of mission?

But after the real contact, the master realized that the other party was not a human at all!

In other words, there is no common sense of "human nature" at all.

Tenacity, decisiveness, enterprising, flexibility, integrity... nearly a hundred extreme emotions rushed directly into the master's senses, and in the deeper layers of the emperor's mind, they were "seeking truth from facts", "fairness and justice", "arbitrary" and "profound justice" ...and thousands of other codes of conduct. Furthermore, the master can also perceive some specific beliefs such as "human supremacy", "fall of stars", "defending order", "extermination of aliens"... and so on.

Every obsession is as blazing as the blazing sun. But after tens of thousands of obsessions conflict with each other, offset each other, and balance each other, they are as stable as a rock...

Moreover, the master found no traces of inducement or suggestion from these obsessions.

This means that the emperor's five-digit obsession is not imprinted through steel seal technology. Rather, like the motto of a saint, it is condensed through enlightenment and sublimation.

It is not uncommon for a saint who uses two obsessions as his motto to have an epiphany and become a saint a second time after becoming a saint. Among Forsworn and blue-blooded hybrids, one can be found in hundreds of worlds on average.

But these saints with multiple proverbs often did not live long. Because sainthood comes at the cost of mental paranoia, the two maxims mean double mental pressure, which can easily crush the saint.

But like the emperor, who piled up the proverbs to five figures, that's another concept.

This is actually a very interesting thing: the realm that mortals reach by relying on proverbs, or obsession, to elevate their souls, abandon their humanity, is called "holy".

What should we call what we reconstruct with obsession through two, three, or even infinite times of "second sanctification"?

That should no longer be called "human nature". The emperor's obsession lacked fear, compassion, greed, selfishness, anger... and other normal emotions that humans, or even living beings, should have. This may be the result of him deliberately shaping his personality.

The Master thought that perhaps this should be called divinity.

Yes, from a spiritual perspective, the Emperor is closer to the concept of "god" than the Star God.

At least as long as the Star God can find his true form, the insect swarm can brainwash him wantonly.

When facing the Emperor directly, the Overlord has a feeling that he has nowhere to start. Let alone hypnotizing him, the Overlord cannot even perceive the Emperor's thoughts and intentions - the Emperor's mental characteristics are very likely to be the same as those of the Thunder Beast, which is uncontrollable and unstoppable. , cannot be interfered with.

As for whether the emperor's strength has exceeded the twelfth level, this is a question that even the Key of Truth cannot judge. The master doesn’t know either.

The moment the minds of the emperor and the master collided in the Yang Torch network, the equipment provided by Erin let out an overwhelmed wail.

Obviously, the mind transcoding equipment provided by the goblins is far from enough to allow a level 13 psionic unit to unleash its power unbridled.

"I need to be more efficient." The master asked Erin distractedly.

He knew Erin's methods, just like when she was able to send the mechanical goblins deep into the insect nest, even though they were deep in the hinterland of the empire. Temporarily teleporting one to the other, there was no difficulty for Erin.

"The equipment is specially made," Erin refused without hesitation. "We cannot make a second one in a short time."

The Lord didn't believe Erin's words at all, and said directly: "I can determine the strength of his soul. Haven't you always wanted to determine whether the emperor is a thirteenth-level unit?"

As long as the Overlord can suppress the emperor, he can reversely invade the emperor's port into the Yangju network and send nether energy to the emperor's location for investigation.

Erin was unmoved. Instead, he advised: "Our goal has been achieved, there is no need to create extraneous problems."

The most time-consuming process of eroding omnics is simply ordering the servo omnics of officials at all levels to turn on high-power signal towers.

Even if the emperor's response was as quick as possible, it was still too late. By this time, 60% of the intelligent machines connected to the Internet had been contaminated to varying degrees.

Moreover, Overlord also focused on the world groups adjacent to the empire, gods, demons, undead, and high-level blue blood.

Like the world of Tark 925, these world groups are home to large armies.

Of course, just out-of-control omnics are not enough to cause a head-on conflict with the Empire's regular army.

In fact, in the current Tarker fleet, even if the communication network is disconnected and each steel seal warrior fights independently, the fleet's intelligent servants are still wiped out.

But war is inseparable from the prosperous military-industrial system. Within the war world group, there are foundry worlds, industrial worlds, and mining worlds. These areas that require intensive labor are the natural territories of omnipotence.

By controlling these locations, omnics can quickly replicate and arm themselves. Even if the Overlord stops here, the omnics already have the war potential to shake the empire's rule - the "intelligent servant rebellion" is unstoppable.

But the master still had a look of worry on his face.

In the final analysis, it was because Elin did not want to see the swarm encroaching on the empire too much - she was not aware of the emperor's uncontrollable mental traits, from her perspective. Once the emperor is brainwashed by the Overlord, the swarm can take over the entire empire in a very short time.

Having made up her mind, Erin simply left the body of the mechanical goblin.

No matter how much the master calls, there will be no response...

The conversion instrument was eventually completely destroyed in the overload.

All the omnics in the Hive Mind disappeared.

What the "Smart Servant Rebellion" will eventually turn into depends on them.

The Lord looked beyond the armor of the battleship to the far distance of the Turan World Group.

Now that we have arrived at the core area of ​​the empire's territory. Then let's see if we can take root deep in the empire's territory.

The throne stirred up psionic energy.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the border,

Jumping into the material world...
