Start with a Mechanical Hunter

Iori Motoko silently followed the 'fortress', watching him walk step by step into the depths of the flames, which is the real core of the planet host.

She wanted to do something, but every time she thought about it, the persona was like a red-hot nail, turning her thoughts back.

 Let her retain consciousness, which is a kind of torture.

　　　 Yagami Motoko painfully recalled the scenes of the joint team.

This was a special operation to save the order of the planet, but in the end it became the last straw that broke the cyber testing ground.

Every time he thinks of this, Yagami Motoko feels like his head is going to explode.

 Sobriety is a most terrible torture.

 Finally, as the last flame slowly opened, Fortress, Joker, and Zero arrived at the 'real Fortress'.

 It’s almost the same as the Mother City Fortress.

 The only difference is that the entire planet is reflected on the ground.

There is also an extra sun in the sky, and the sunlight is bright and shining on the entire planet.

“By the way, has the real fortress noticed when we got here? Will his eyes fall out of shock?” The clown Aramaki said curiously.

 ‘Fortress’ turned around suddenly, but there was a hint of coldness on his face without facial features.

 “I am the only fortress!”

The clown was stunned for a moment, laughed strangely, bowed, and said loudly: "You are the real fortress!"

As the ‘fortress’ gaze showed, all the buildings on the ground rose from the ground, and a large amount of planet data was sucked into the buildings.

These cyber test site data will definitely be very valuable if found on the cosmic black market, and some civilizations will pay big bucks to buy them.

‘Fortress’ grabbed hold of the planetary firewall that protected the world again, and colorless flames also gathered from all sides, burning him like a burning man for a while.

Countless faces rose and fell one after another in the flames, and then all of them melted away.

 The aura of the 'fortress' suddenly surged to the point where it had nothing to add to it.

 “Gee, it’s great to have absorbed the source code of Cyberspace.”

The clown Aramaki no longer dared to talk nonsense, his eyes just looked at each other with envy. The planet host that absorbed the cyberspace could even break through the third level, reach the fourth level, or even the fifth level. What height can it reach? It depends on whether there is a civilization that is willing to let the other party build a virtual world.

 ‘Perhaps, this old man wants to form a virtual civilization by himself. ’

Joker Aramaki has heard that many strong men in the universe came out of the cyber testing grounds of advanced civilizations.

The person in front of me, if given a chance, might not be able to become one of them.

‘Fortress’ obtained the experimental data from the proving ground, controlled the colorless fire, absorbed the cyberspace source code, and its aura soared to a new level.

 During this process, the real fortress never appeared.

 The clown Aramaki was stunned for a moment, looking up at the sky with some disbelief.

“Um, boss, please ask in a low voice, is no one coming?”

"have."

 “That’s good,” the clown Aramaki breathed a sigh of relief.

 “But not the one you imagined.”

The 'Fortress Old Man' lightly swiped his finger, and the next moment, the earth cracked, and all kinds of virtual illusions collapsed. On the machine-split planet, an unknown number of people died unexpectedly. Even the passage connecting the planet's host computer and the virtual reality seemed to be old. The tunnel is also collapsing.

 The tunnel collapsed, and two human figures stood at the entrance of the tunnel, silently watching this earth-shattering scene.

"This is the fourth level, no, it's already approaching the fifth level." Gao Gong said sincerely. He was worthy of being a monster in the cyber testing ground.

“Hey, it turns out to be Minister Gao. Why is Minister Gao here?” The clown Aramaki saw the other party and stretched out his hand to say hello.

 “Then you have to ask her.”

 Gao Gong motioned to Mei Wanwan next to him, or in other words, the last virtual personality of the fortress.

 “Where are the others!?”

"Fortress" stared at it. Mei Wanwan's body was covered with countless cracks, and blood was gushing out crazily.

However, Mei Wanwan's expression did not change in particular. She just looked at the other person and replied calmly:

"died."

“I don’t remember that there is anyone on this planet who can kill him.”

“He wiped out his system, leaving only this empty virtual machine. You should know this better than me.”

"Why?"

“Boss, I feel like we should withdraw,” Clown Huangjuan whispered from the side. As a conspirator, he smelled the smell of conspiracy.

“Let her speak!” Fortress directly interrupted the other party’s words with a rather irritable tone.

At the moment he was imprisoned, his biggest goal was revenge. He spent a full hundred years planning, but when he waited, he was actually killed.

"In order to protect this planet world, someone is destined to sacrifice. Aramaki died because of this, and the fortress died because of this," Mei Wanwan said calmly: "This is the first virtual reality we have received since it was developed. Instructions, its priority is higher than anyone else."

“You are all dead, who will come to suppress this cyber testing ground!?”

“The sun cannot be seen on this planet. Now look, what is in the sky?”

 ‘Fortress’ suddenly raised its head, and a big sun hung high in the sky.

In reality, no matter which hemisphere, which region, or which mechanical city, you can see the sun, its golden light breaking through the radiation layer, billowing and boundless.

 For a time, the entire planet was bathed in a golden world. Most people were in a trance, walking up the golden steps, as if they had seen a new world.

“Honkai energy of this intensity, tsk tsk,” the senior engineer raised his head, and his mind couldn’t help but recall the ‘Clown Minister’ he saw when he was suppressing Turing God.

 “Long time no see, Mr. G.”

 “Aramaki, why has your hair grown so much?”

　　…“…That’s not the point.”

 “Your current state is a bit strange.”

“I have died a long time ago. The Arajuan in front of you now is just a fake that has inherited most of my memories, and the planet host that created him is also a fake.”

“Since it is a fake, how can what you say now be proven to be true?”

“Since the fake fortress can create fake desolate scrolls, then the real fortress can naturally modify the ‘fake desolate scroll’ temporarily and inject my final thoughts into it.”

 “Oh, what is your purpose?”

"I hope you can let Turing go for the time being. Regarding Turing, Fortress and I have a plan."

"what's the plan?"

 “A plan to save the world.”

 …

"The desolate scrolls and fortresses in the previous life must have failed." Gao Gong muttered to himself.

The entire planet was filled with Honkai energy. Turing's power was pushed to the limit at this moment. I don't know how many figures were eaten by Turing.

‘Fortress’ watched this scene blankly until his entire body was wrapped in golden flames, and then burned fiercely.

 Fortress is dead, and now the owner of the planet's virtual machine has long since become Turing.

 The entire ‘planet host’ has become Turing’s ‘god seat’.

Turing once again ascended to the throne.

The clown Aramaki also looked at his abdomen blankly. In the virtual code, a fist penetrated him from behind.

“Why?” Clown Aramaki said blankly: “You are a punk virus, and the planet host cannot let you go.”

“I’m not interested in being a space wanderer. I just want to subvert the world. Isn’t that great now?”

With Zero's words, the clown's body disintegrated inch by inch. He could not understand until his death why there was such a stupid young man in the world.

 …

“If it were the old man in the fortress himself, he would not be able to break the ancient agreement with the mechanical master and hand over the control of the planet’s host to Turing.”

“And without the Fortress Old Man, the entire planet’s host cannot really start, so a special plan was born.”

“Use the punk virus to create a rebel host consciousness, and then create an Aramaki to perform the task. Finally, let Aramaki’s successor, Yagami Motoko, become a **** in the entire plan to lure the opponent to the bait.”

Mei Wanwan said politely, without any emotion at all about her own death.

“So, the fortress sensed the ‘monster under the stars’ a hundred years ago?” Gao Gong asked curiously.

“Yes, as a ‘planetary virtual machine’ placed in outer space, the time it takes for the Fortress Old Man to sense the information virus is much longer than that of the other two planetary hosts.”

“Then why didn’t it notify the legendary mechanical master?”

“In the cyber testing ground, accidents are allowed. They may be the driving force for technological evolution. It’s just that the old man in the fortress noticed it. The intensity of the accident this time may be unexpected.”

"sharp."

“But there are still some things I need to trouble you about.”

 “Of course, it’s part of the deal.”

Gao Gong looked in another direction, where four figures stood, the head of the Xie family, the third generation Miller, and Black Rose.

 And a dark shadow standing in the middle.

 …

“The natives on this planet have really interesting ways of saving themselves,” the emissary of the Supreme Being stared at the sky curiously, and saw more and more figures being sucked into the golden light.

“Using a super information body to absorb all living people is very rare among non-divine civilizations.”

"But it's very effective, isn't it," Black Rose said softly: "That monster under the starry sky can't invade the Honkai Impact."

“That’s right, the clone of the cosmic relic is really difficult to invade,” the messenger of the Supreme Being smiled and shook his head, “But I’m here just to prevent unexpected factors.”

“There is more than one unexpected factor,” the head of the Xie family said suddenly.

“Let me introduce myself as the head of the Ghost in the Shell mobile department, the founder of the Dugo Group, and most importantly, the male lover of the overbearing female president, Mr. G.”

Purple light flashed, and a figure suddenly appeared, smiling provocatively at several people.

 “Mr. G, do you want to stop us?”

"No, no, no, I've always been very cooperative with your plans," the senior engineer said with a smile, "I'm here to cooperate with you."

  “For example, like this.”

Gao Gong snapped his fingers, and a blank box appeared out of thin air. Then, the box slowly opened, and in an instant, endless seaweed spit out out of thin air. Each seaweed was covered with dense worms.

　At this moment, the expressions of several people changed.
