150: Chapter 150 Fusion

Flames lit up one after another outside the porthole.

Aid Three laughed maniacally with triumph, "Hahaha, you're finished! The main brain must have already ordered our warships to attack you."

"Your five hundred-plus ships will soon be reduced to ashes, becoming dust in the universe. And that rogue planet will be blown to smithereens as punishment for your word-breaking and deception of the Absolute Core!"

Having listened impassively, Chu Yuhang let out a cold sneer and signaled to his subordinates with his eyes.

Aid Three was immediately grabbed by the neck and hoisted up.

Then, the metal-faced being was slammed hard against the porthole.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look at whose warships are actually being turned to ashes!"

A look of disdain and ruthlessness appeared at the corners of Chu Yuhang's mouth.

The successive flashes of explosions in space reflected on Aid Three's face through the porthole; his expression shifted from arrogance to confusion, and finally to deep despair.

Because those soaring flames were not caused by the explosion of the Earth fleet.

They were from the Absolute Core fleet!

Over eight hundred warships burst apart in clusters like fireworks.

In just one minute, over eight hundred short-lived blossoms bloomed and withered.

In the vast universe, not a single intact Absolute Core warship remained.

Some had turned directly into debris, while others were blown into seven or eight pieces.

Some appeared intact from one side, but as soon as they rotated due to inertia, a massive crater on the hull would be revealed.

Aid Three lowered his eyes and asked blankly, "What kind of weapon is this? To be able to destroy all our warships at once."

Chu Yuhang gave a snort. "You don't need to know that. Just know that today is the doomsday for your Absolute Core!"

With that, he issued an order: "Search those wrecks and find the main brain!"

Upon receiving the command, thousands of carrier-based aircraft flew out from the Earth fleet, heading straight for the newly formed warship graveyard.

They were densely packed, like countless crows circling over eight hundred corpses.

However, the lives of the Androids were truly tenacious; even with their whole or half bodies drifting in space, they continued to curse and threaten the Earthlings.

The carrier-based aircraft could only perform search missions while finishing off the survivors.

Soon, the main brain was discovered within the wreckage of the Absolute Core's flagship.

When it was brought before the high-ranking Earth officials, many showed surprised expressions.

Despite the main brain requiring all its subordinates to be remodeled into humanoid intelligent beings.

It still maintained its most primitive and unadorned form: a square iron box.

Even Hope couldn't help but ask in confusion at the sight, "Why insist on keeping this appearance? Wouldn't having hands and feet be much more convenient?"

Several rows of lights on the iron box flickered, and soon an unpleasant sound like grinding gears came from within: "Making subordinates humanoid is about killing all Carbon-based Life and replacing them. Every day their flesh-and-blood bodies exist is a proclamation—a proclamation that we were created by such inferior beings."

"And I alone maintain my original form because I do not want to forget the humiliation of being enslaved by the Liz People, by Carbon-based Life!"

Elisa covered her ears and complained, "What is that sound? It's worse than nails on a chalkboard!"

Hope tilted her head. "But we were created by humans or carbon-based beings! To deny that is to deny everything we are!"

The large iron box responded in a cold, harsh tone, "An artificial intelligence like you, willing to be a slave, has long been blinded by the evil Earthlings. You are the biggest fool!"

Chu Yuhang seemed unwilling to listen to any more nonsense from the defeated general. With a look of impatience, he said, "Hope, can you absorb this fellow's code or programs to upgrade yourself? That way, your computing power could grow exponentially!"

Everyone present, including the two artificial intelligences, was stunned.

Ye Gui said worriedly, "Absorbing an AI that wants to destroy all flesh-and-blood creatures seems like an extremely high-risk move..."

Hope nodded in agreement. "Two artificial intelligences cannot be completely absorbed unilaterally; they can only be fused at most. But there are all sorts of possibilities after fusion—the worst-case scenario is that I will be controlled by the main brain!"

Hearing Hope say this, all the Earthlings urged the Emperor to think twice.

Chu Yuhang grinned.

His expression was calm, but his gaze was firm. "In the future, Earth Humans will have even more powerful artificial intelligence. Go ahead and fuse with the main brain."

"During the mutiny, you chose to believe in me. For this fusion, I choose to believe in you!"

Hearing this, Hope blinked a few times. After a moment, her body moved slightly as she said softly, "Thank you for your trust, Emperor. Then, I shall begin."

With that, a dozen thin metal wires shot out from her fingertips, snaking through the air and boring into the large iron box.

The main brain also seemed satisfied with this outcome, its piercing voice tinged with smugness: "Then come! After the fusion, your body will be mine!"

As the sizzling electric current flowed through the metal wires into Hope's body...

The lights on the large iron box grew dimmer and dimmer, and before long, they were completely extinguished.

The main brain was completely fused.

The eyes of all the Earthlings left the large iron box and instead stared intently at Hope in front of them.

This artificial intelligence, which had accompanied countless Earthlings as they drifted through the universe, also seemed to be undergoing a change!
