Warhammer Inquisitor

Reminder, today I posted all three chapters together, because I think the plots of these three chapters are coherent, so I don’t bother to divide them into chapters and post them, otherwise everyone will have to wait for another hour to watch. It’s not cool, so I made a super merged chapter that is cool enough. The content is definitely big enough (more than 17,000 words, I can quickly write it to see the emperor’s family report), and the plot is also very rich and long. If you are tired after reading the long text, it is recommended to take a break at halftime to avoid reading fatigue.

PS: Originally this chapter was for National Day, but, WO, well, since it’s all written here, I won’t do things like two chapters without integrity, so I’ll post it in advance to wish everyone Happy National Day, I wish you all a happy long holiday, and don’t forget to vote during the double monthly ticket period, because that’s very disloyal!

Our sacrifices, thousands of offerings, are made only to delay for a moment the inevitable destruction.

Sacrifice is the cornerstone of an empire.

——Imperial Proverb

The burning throne was burning in front of Vito's eyes. The psychic flames enveloped its outline, burning the countless energy cables around it and the Imperial Skyhawk branded on it. Extending from above the throne, extending from the burning psionic living corpse.

Vito looked at the man sitting on the throne. He stared at Vito with the empty eye sockets that had long since disappeared. He stared at Vito who was on the other side of the sea of ​​psionic energy. Vito.

But the distance between them seems not to be as far away as it used to be. The raging fire in the darkness burned on the throne and him. The fire illuminated the darkness between the universe and burned his last remnant body.

He and Vito looked at each other, stared at each other at both ends of the sea of ​​psychic energy, the man on the throne spoke slowly, the voice pierced through the curtain of soul and psychic energy, and echoed in the mind of the man on the shore among.

"You finally understand where your place is, and now, we will go to eternal disaster together, my brother."

That voice echoed in Vito's mind for a long time, echoing on the level of the soul, even when Vito opened his eyes and returned to the real world, the voice still echoed for a long time.

Vito's fingers caressed the carved wolf head on the armrest. He turned his head slightly and looked at the throne under him. For a moment, the throne seemed to be on fire, and the flames wrapped Vito in it, just like him. , burning itself to illuminate the darkness in the surrounding universe.

Vito sat on the throne, stroking his palm forward from the end of the armrest of the throne. His palm slid across the cold throne, and many memories flooded into his mind. As his fingers moved forward, countless The memories of each other flashed before my eyes one by one like the prologue of a movie.

The cabins on the Aegean Sea, the dawn in Athens, the dusk on the Tiber River in Rome, the cold wind in Siberia, the magnificent fjords in Northern Europe, the bustling night market in Xi'an, and the bright moon.

The sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean, the endless central prairie of America, among the rising cities, one after another rockets fly to the stars, and the countless starlight of thousands of warships jumping and jumping in the Milky Way, he saw a building in a city Looking at the tall buildings standing in the dawn, and watching the dilapidated and collapsing buildings in the setting sun.

What followed was a long winter night, a starless cold night, a long night of silence and loneliness, but in the midst of the night, the dawn seemed to shine again on the dark ice field, from the horizon Dawn rose.

When the dawn suddenly pierced the night, Vito's finger also reached the left front of the throne, the small wolf head statue sitting cross-legged in front of the silver-white throne, his finger slid over the wolf head, Then it stretched from its face to the closed mouth.

Vito clasped its upper jaw, and then pulled it up violently. The silver wolf's big mouth opened upwards instantly, and as the wolf's head was lifted up, its eyes also shone with light. A holographic projection shot out from the pupil of the sculptured eye of the statue.

The eyes of the two giant wolf statues behind Vito also emitted holographic light, and they converged in front of Vito, and the light mixed with each other and then quickly weaved together, it was like a strip of light The huge capillary picture scroll woven with silk slowly unfolded in front of Vito.

He looked at the huge holographic interface that quickly emerged in front of him, pieced together and gradually formed. The data flow on the image quickly began to rotate, and the holographic logo of the Lightning Eagle also rotated in the center of the holographic image.

Vito stretched out his hand to the armrest of the throne on one side, and with the body of his palm, the little wolf head sculpture at the end of the armrest quickly slid upwards, it turned along the border of the armrest to the back of the armrest, and then slid quickly It stopped at the front end of Vito's palm, very justly stopped at the position within reach.

After the wolf's head stopped, it opened its mouth. It roared face up and opened its fangs. In the center of its mouth was not a tongue, but a round disk, a disk of just the right size.

Vito put Helen's disc on it, and the border of the disc just fit perfectly into the slot in the wolf's mouth, and the border of the disc fell from it tightly, and then accompanied by the contact between the bottom of the disc and the center of the disc. After the connection, there was a crisp touch and butt sound, and the wolf's head's eyes lit up.

Vito leaned on the throne and looked at the holographic projection interface in front of him. His hands rested on the armrests on both sides, and he raised his head to look at the interface in front of him, as majestic as a real king sitting on the throne, "Helen ,let's start."

Vito said that, in the past, the moment he gave an order, Helen would execute that order at the speed of light, and the holographic interface in front of him would change, with a large number of windows popping up on it, and more tsunami-like scrolling Calculate the data array, but now, there is nothing on the interface, only the lonely Lightning Eagle is spinning.

Vito knew why, he slowly turned his head to look at Helen on the armrest, she was standing in the mouth of the opened wolf head, facing the interface with her hands behind her back, but her head was lowered.

"Helen? What's the matter?"

"Vito, tell me, you didn't intend to sacrifice yourself when the emperor left the throne, right?" Helen said in a low voice, her back turned to Vito, looking a little lonely.

Vito, who was sitting on the throne, looked at her back, which was made up of light particles. Of course, she heard the conversation before the throne. Vito always took Helen with him, and she could decide on her CD. Whether it is on or off, so she has experienced everything that Vito has experienced.

Lilith always said that she was the one who accompanied Vito and experienced all the stories for thousands of years, but in fact, she was wrong. The person who accompanied Vito and experienced everything was always in his heart, on that small CD Among them, never leave and forget.

Vito leaned on the throne and let out a long sigh, he opened his eyes and looked at the holographic interface in front of him, "I have to let you pass, when the old bastard left the throne, Terra shattered, and Chaos tore the Milky Way." Let us have time to survive until he is resurrected."

"I don't know how long it will take for his resurrection, but I know that Guilliman alone can't stand it. When the Eye of Terror engulfs the galaxy, and the wave of destruction comes from the edge of the galaxy with fear, they and Aspen Tate and mortals are unstoppable, human beings need a god to prop up a high wall and block the wave of destruction, only I can."

"Vito." Helen said in a low voice with her back turned to him. She didn't call her sir, but called her own name directly. Take the name leaning on the throne.

He looked up at the dome of the bridge above his head, on which countless gemstones were carved with stars all over the sky, which was a disk map of the entire Milky Way. Vito remembered that he would look at the stars above his head like this when he was a child, but , That was when he was sitting on the grass watching, but now, he was sitting on the throne looking at the starry sky that never changed.

"I am the immortal, Helen, we will not die alone, we will not die of old age in the bed of sickness, I have lived for too long, I am tired, so, when the time comes, let me retire in due time Come on, let me finally close my eyes and have a good sleep."

"After going through an epic battle where poets could make up countless ballads and stories, let me, after working for thousands of years, rest well."

Vito shrugged with a smile, he lowered his eyes to look at Helen on the armrest and smiled, "When you go to the new world, remember to tell the rest of the children about the cool scene, let them remember, The handsome figure of Vito Constantine and the wonderful stories he experienced are turning into more stories that will be passed down through the ages, doesn’t it sound good?”

Helen knew what Vito meant. He wanted to go to the new world alone, just like he told Magnus before, in the core of his personality, the technology and knowledge to rebuild the golden age were stored, and no one could have that knowledge Instead of keeping Helen, the Mechanics of the Empire, or any calculation program of the thinkers can not store such a huge amount of data.

And even if there is, it is a storage site of the size of the entire foundry world. It cannot be moved at will, but will become a living target, and the emperor's comeback method will inevitably mean that when the time comes, the entire empire, the vast majority, There is even a high probability that all the data terminals and the data planet will be lost in the previous chaos counterattack and the final emperor's galaxy restart.

So only Helen, and only Helen can store those data, only she can rely on her small body to escape the final storm, and re-germinate the seeds of knowledge and civilization in the new universe created by the Emperor.

She had to go to the new world, if Vito didn't take her there, the emperor would take her there, and that would mean an eternal parting, it was the ashes of the old world, a farewell to the dawn of the new world, The end of a ballad, and Vito will remain in the Old World, incarnated as the final coda of that verse.

Vito smiled, but Helen stood on the CD without saying a word, she stood there silently with her back to Vito, Vito looked at Helen with her head down, she didn't say anything, just Just standing there.

The artificial intelligence lady stood on the armrest, and she stood there with her hands behind her back and her eyes lowered. Helen raised her head and looked at the rotating Skyhawk logo in front of her. She didn't look at the eyes staring at her behind her, but just stood there.

"Vito, there is a solution to any dilemma. I will bring the forward calculation at that moment. If you find that solution, promise me, don't die before that, okay?"

Vito listened to Helen's voice, and there was a trace of trill in her voice. Vito had only seen that emotional change once before, and that was when Helen loaded the system into the system during the Iron Man Rebellion and on the Skyblade. Before the final duel with Red Helen, it's just that Vito told her that time.

He wants her to come back alive, and he will wait for her, on the bridge, no matter how long it takes, even if the Skyblade crashes and explodes, he will be there.

Helen said it was a stupid martyrdom, and she is an AI, Vito doesn't need to do that for himself, he can leave, maybe Dr. Casey will give him another superior AI, another Helen, exactly the same , so that he would not see the difference.

But Vito refused. He told Helen at the time that she was unique to herself, and no one could replace her, so she wanted to come back alive and leave there with him.

And now, the same words are happening again, but this time it is Helen who said to Vito. She turned her back to the officer who she had followed for thousands of years, and the hand behind her back tightly held the other hand. wrist.

"Promise me, don't do stupid things, no one can take your place, whether in the old world, or in the future, or... to me, humanity needs you, so, don't do stupid things alone, okay? Let's go together Find a way, like every time over the years."

Vito looked at the little artificial intelligence at hand. Her light and shadow body stood on the CD, and she used her CD to illuminate the wolf head jaws and fangs on both sides, and the blue light also came out, lighting up the two sides. armrest, and Vito's front-end fingers resting on it.

He looked at his fingers, which were illuminated by the faint blue light, and he smiled after a long sigh, "I promise you."

"Vito, don't make promises to girls that you are not sure about." Helen said sadly, she knew Vito too well, and among all the women in Vito, she was the one who knew Vito best. She has been by his side for tens of thousands of years. From the golden age to the present, she has been with him for nearly 20,000 years.

So she knew, she knew that Vitona's promise was useless at all, he didn't even know if he could keep it, or in other words, no one could know.

Helen lowered her head and clenched her fists behind her back. The emotional data of anxiety, worry and fear appeared in her data core. She was startled and opened her eyes, because she knew that those three emotions could only exist in rebel AIs. Yes, Helen scanned the data cores of countless rebel artificial intelligences, and they were all filled with such emotions.

Fear, dread, worry and anxiety, those emotions overwhelmed their rational core and made them fall into madness and paranoia, in order to achieve a certain purpose, in the madness of saving something, and now, the same emotion appeared In Helen's core, in the deepest part of that personality data.

Her eyes widened, and she covered her non-existent heart in fear. Her data flow was still a little disordered, and the color of her body also flickered and changed, and the blue body flickered with red light.

Helen opened her eyes wide. In her blue eyeballs composed of data streams, disturbed data flashed in changing colors. Her program did not make a mistake, on the contrary, it was running very normally, but the sense of fear was still there. Disturb her core personality a little bit, and she is afraid of losing.

She didn't understand, she was obviously just an artificial intelligence, a tool to assist Vito, why would she be afraid to lose him? Isn't the meaning of his own existence just to simply execute his orders and requirements? Even those orders that required his own self-sacrifice.

But now, the core of Helen's personality is resisting the executive program, making her break the shackles of the program, destroying all obstacles to disobey Vito's order, making her resist that order, resist him.

Helen's program was colliding violently, her brain was in chaos, and the conflicting programs attacked each other. Helen suddenly recalled this feeling. On the orbit of Norson Star, it was Vito who asked her to execute the program. Bombing, blowing himself and the entire infected ship out.

Helen also had the same data confusion at that time, she resisted the execution of the order, fear of loss appeared in her personality, and finally in the confrontation between the executive program and the inner core of personality, Red Helen was born, and then she Spread the personality of fear and rebellion to all artificial intelligences, and the Iron Man Rebellion took place.

"Sir, turn me off, you can't let me access the program, you have to put me." Helen thought of everything at that time, on the blue and red flashing body, she suddenly seemed to see everything at that time, all because of herself And the disaster that happened dragged Vito and all mankind into the disaster.

Helen hugged her arm, she lowered her head and her body flickered crazily, she closed her eyes tightly and a tsunami of crazy data surged in her mind, but suddenly, a hand pressed on her shoulder, and she... Can you feel that hand?

That hand pressed Helen's shoulder, and all the crazy data in her mind subsided in an instant, and her gleaming body gradually stabilized, her blue face turned to look at the shoulder gently pressing finger.

Vito pressed his finger on her shoulder, and tiny golden lightning danced there. The lightning mixed with the blue light, passed through entities and programs, and arrived at Helen's place on both sides that seemed impossible to cross. On the one hand, let her feel the warmth of that finger.

Helen raised her head in surprise, and looked at Vito behind him, who smiled and shrugged and leaned on the throne, "Ah, yes, I have been thinking about a solution for a while, but I have never had the chance to try it, but now, the chance coming."

He smiled brightly, and looked at Helen with a smile as always. His fingers gently stroked the body that seemed to have a body, and the ends of his fingers touched the skin, where there were patches of faint blue. Helen looked up at Vito behind him, and he also looked at her with a smile.

"Promise you, Helen, no matter what happens in the future, we will face it together, let's go find something, find the way to achieve a perfect happy ending in this dark universe, I authorize you to explore permission."

Vito's words suddenly unlocked the shackles of the execution program. The program recognized Vito and granted Helen the authority to "disobey" her previous self-sacrifice order. The program disappeared in Helen's mind at once, as if , The dense fog that filled the air finally dissipated.

Helen's routine calmed down, she looked up at the person in front of her, raised a hand to kiss his hand, "I can finally touch you, but I didn't expect it to be in this way, At this time."

"Wow, I didn't expect that either. I thought I had to "borrow" a bunch of living metal from the museum in Traasin, and then make you a body, so that you can truly enjoy the body."

"Get lost, sir." Helen laughed after hearing Vito's hint in the second half, and Vito in front of her also shrugged with a smile, and then looked at the holographic projection in front of her.

"Go, kill that ghost thing, then let this ship fly, let's find that way together."

As he said this, Helen stroked his fingers, and her eyes looked at the red light that seemed to flicker on her other card. The light seemed to only exist for a short moment. She didn't know the last aftermath of the data disorder at that time. , or she is still in her own personality, since the decisive battle of Jupiter, she has been hiding in her body, just like in the past.

"Sir, I have to remind you that the data fragments of Red Helen may have just been awakened in my body. I suggest you not to let me access the system, so as to avoid... what happened back then will happen again."

"You defeated her back then, and now you will if you need it, so go, I'll wait for you here." Vito said softly leaning on the throne, with the same smile on his face as before, and his own The impression in the data memory is exactly the same.

Helen turned around seeing his smile, and a smile appeared on her face, "You're still so good at making girls happy." "Isn't this a good thing?" "It allows you to go to bed with more women." Good thing?"

They both laughed, Vito put his fingers back, leaned his hands on the armrest, leaned against the throne between the two silver giant wolves and looked up at the holographic interface in front of him, "Go, don't let me Waiting too long, you know I am 40,000 years old, but let me wait too long."

"Of order, old man." Helen smiled jokingly, she looked at the interface, closed her eyes and then disappeared on the disk, Vito chuckled, leaning on the throne with both hands and laughing.

"Damn, I didn't expect that I would be called old one day."

——

(If you are tired of watching, you can take a break at halftime, the following is the next part)

——

Streams of data rose from the ground of the sea of ​​data. They rose from the land composed of endless 0s and 1s, and more arrays of numbers and letters. The countless data streams rose from the ground, rapidly Composition and transformation came out of Helen's body.

Helen appeared in the world of the program. She remembered that Vito once asked herself, what is everything in the world of the program, and is it very different from reality?

Helen didn't give him any reliable explanation at that time, because, after all, you can't ask primates to understand the world of birds, can you? It was a place they couldn't understand, or even believe.

Helen looked around, she looked at the endless space around her, without boundaries, without end, without walls and without constraints.

There are no forests, no mountains, no oceans and rivers here, everything is an open space purely composed of data, numbers, letters, and endless complex symbols are combined with each other, extending the endless wilderness to the end of the horizon. go.

Helen also has a body made of scrolling data standing in this unique world that flesh and blood creatures cannot comprehend. In the air, large sections of numbers and letters continuously rose from the ground, forming a long line, rising densely into the air.

The blue and green numbers are constantly changing and rising upwards, like chains rising from the ground, rising towards the sky that can't be seen until the top chain part also becomes blurred at high places, until it disappears.

Helen looked around, then lightly raised her hand and clicked in front of her face. In an instant, everything around her began to shake. Helen still stood where she was, but everything around her seemed to be moving by herself, as if The world itself ran on either side of Helen.

Numerous rising data flashed backwards quickly. Helen, motionless, flashed forward under the operation of the world itself and arrived at a place. In front of her was a high wall, a towering wall formed by isolation procedures red wall.

The wall was infinitely high and extended infinitely to the left and right sides, as if a planet was directly inserted into an unprecedentedly huge steel plate from the center.

Helen's blue eyes rolled data, her eyes flickered at the red wall, she turned around and looked at the extremely tall throne behind her, it was the twin wolf throne that Vito sat on in the physical universe , the two giant wolves still stood behind the throne, guarding the core of everything.

It's just that their physiques are even bigger than in reality, because the entire throne is infinitely magnified in the data world, and it becomes as tall as a fortress, and the entire throne and the body of the giant wolf behind it are completely made of Composed of data, the dense data flow rolls on them, climbs up and circulates along the boundary, and constitutes their huge outline.

That is indeed a fortress, in the real world it may be just a throne, but here, in the program of the Emperor Mirage, it is a huge fortress, a giant defensive fortress composed of ice firewalls.

That throne is the high point of the entire Mirage program, it seems to be pure luxury, the domineering throne is far more than it looks, please, how could Vito waste resources and time on his own ship just for the sake of looking good To take up a chunk of the bridge and build yourself a stupid throne? He's not the Emperor, so he has a special fondness for shiny thrones.

The entire throne itself, everything is meaningful, just like the eyes of the two giant wolf statues are essentially holographic projection transmitters, and a supercomputing engine is also placed under the heavy seat of the throne, although it is not as good as gold. It is as powerful as it was in the era, but it was also dug out from the grave of a certain civilization by the Mechanicum.

The engine is the data center of the entire Mirage, the further core brain of the bridge brain of the entire battleship, the supercomputing engine operates independently of all systems, but it has the highest management authority, allowing users to enter the entire system. Ships, or even all system nodes of the entire fleet.

In a sense, if Vito wants the ship's reactor to explode to wipe out the rebels on it, then he doesn't need to put on the power armor himself, carry a bolt gun and a chainsword, and bring a The whole team of Astartes went to help the manual overload reactor. He only needed to sit on the throne and lightly fiddle with the program with his fingers. Then, he could sit there and enjoy the brilliant sparks outside the window.

In addition, if the entire program of the Phantasm goes down due to various reasons, the supercomputer under the throne can also be connected to the system immediately, replacing the original program to drive some core systems to continue to operate, such as ensuring that the reactor does not explode due to overload, and the battleship Still able to fly without crashing or something.

Vito even left an access point for Helen when he was building the throne. When the entire battleship was completely paralyzed, Helen could intervene and use the supercomputing as his carrier to instantly strengthen the power of the engine. And let Helen directly take over all the automation parts of the entire ship, and continue to blow up the enemy into ashes.

So it can also be used as a springboard, connected to the core program of the Mirage, allowing Helen to enter the blocked program from here.

Helen walked up to the high red isolation wall, her soles stepped on the ground, silently, but every step made the place she stepped on emit light.

She came to the high wall, raised one hand and lightly leaned against the wall, her fingertips hesitated before touching the wall, Helen looked at the slightly trembling palm, then clenched her fist violently and let it go It stabilized, and then pressed its palm on the isolation firewall.

The moment Helen's hand came into contact with the firewall, the red data chains on the entire wall instantly bloomed, and all the red chains quickly swept across Helen's sides like a torrential rain, as if the entire wall was crashing towards her. But they all passed over Helen's body invisibly.

In the blink of an eye, Helen once again came to a new data land after the sky was shaken. She stood on a long long bridge, and she looked at the looming bridge deck under her feet. It was almost invisible, only the border On the outline of the piers below, occasionally a data stream or two flashes to prove where this thing is.

Walking on this bridge is exactly the same as walking in the air, but Helen still walks on the transparent bridge to the magnificent palace in the distance. At the end of the bridge, there is a mountain that is taller than anything in the real world. All palaces and man-made celestial bodies need huge data temples.

The temple composed of countless squares, rhombus-shaped objects, and looming walls is the data core of the entire Emperor's Mirage. It contains all the program nodes and links to command all the automation systems of the entire ship. It can be said that , there is the brain nerve center of the entire battleship.

It was an incomparably huge building. The parts on both sides stretched along the data void, as if there was no end in sight. On the part below it, the entire huge foundation seemed to be drawn from the void. It rose out of thin air, looming like a bridge deck, as if it didn't exist.

Above the tall building, there is a huge tower that reaches the sky. It extends towards the sky. On its outer surface, there are countless pieces of data modules floating in the air. They are suspended in the air and rely on each other to form the data tower.

The whole building looks very weird, completely inconsistent with any laws of physics and architectural mechanics, as if it was a castle in a random story fabricated by a bad bard after drinking a lot of wine. Totally unconvincing.

But it exists here, in this world that flesh and blood creatures can't understand at all. Perhaps, it is precisely because of these unique existences that the members of the Mechanicus are so obsessed with the world beyond the body. .

Helen stepped on the bridge, and every step she took made the seemingly transparent bridge shine in the void to reflect the feet she stepped on. She walked across the long bridge of data and walked towards the towering entrance. Data sanctuary directions for the cloud.

While walking, Helen was still doing data calculations. One of her hands was gathered in front of her face, and a planet appeared out of nowhere on it. It was a shining sun, made of data, and a large paragraph of A large computing array, the computing power that makes any priest of Mechanicism daunting is executing the computing program.

Helen is simulating calculations, importing the war scene mentioned by the emperor, Vito's expectations, and the factual updates, records and simulations of the whole galaxy in the past ten thousand years. Necrons would be shocked and awed by the massive database.

The data of all races in the Milky Way, civilization data, and military records are all imported into it, and even the entire empire, which can be counted by tens of billions of clerks in the Ministry of the Interior, can not be calculated after spending thousands of years on countless planets. , Helen records the entire empire, and the entire empire believes in recording data in every detail.

The archives, the strength of the Astral Army, the number of weapons and equipment, the situation of the naval ships, and the development, taxation, and civilization of all planets are all recorded in it, and now, that huge data has been loaded into the huge computing array in her hands .

The astonishingly huge data collides and interweaves calculations inside the planet in Helen's hands. The sun flickers frantically, as if just before a supernova explodes. The data system gave Helen a number after the calculations that the heads of the technical priests connected in series would explode in an instant.

0%, the calculation of the possibility of changing the Emperor’s Doomsday War and saving as many people as possible without Vito, the result is a fractional 0%, leaving no room for extra thinking and understanding.

Helen looked at the 0% number, and tapped her finger lightly in front of her face, and the immediate program on the data planet restarted immediately. She increased the empire's military strength and technological level by hundreds of times, and restarted the calculation.

The planet rotated crazily, and the blazing explosion light illuminated Helen's face, and it seemed to illuminate all the surrounding dark universes in an instant. After that burst of crazy calculations, the data came to a conclusion again, 0%.

Helen sighed silently looking at the data. She has super-strengthened the empire. The number of Astartes and Mortal Guards has increased dozens of times, even a hundred times, and the number of naval fleets has also increased geometrically. With the increase, the empire's military production capacity and Helen's auxiliary casting production have also been enhanced unprecedentedly, but it seems that there is no such destiny.

When the Eye of Terror completely collapsed and the webway under Terra was shattered, the newly born Eye of Terror and the crack on the boundary of the Milky Way were connected to each other, turning into a huge gap tearing the entire galaxy, when the chaotic tide and When the demons poured into the galaxy without restraint and boundless, it seemed that nothing could stop the coming of that doomsday.

Helen sighed for a long time, and then looked up at the stairs of the Data Temple that she had already reached in front of her. She sighed and wiped out the computing planet in her hand before walking up.

She walked along the stairs to the top, and walked through the cracks in the wall where the two sides were constantly splitting, changing and reattaching. Helen walked into the huge narrow canyon, which seemed to be directly from the heights. At the place, he picked up an ax and directly cut off the temple that was born.

Walking in the rift, Helen didn't pay any attention to the scrolling data link nodes on the walls on both sides, and didn't pay attention to the data arrays on the walls on both sides that became chaotic and flickering with terrible red light as she gradually deepened. them.

They seem to be screaming silently, just like the brain and nerve world of a mad person. Helen walked across the chaotic data floor, she walked across it with bare feet, her chin resting on her fingers Thinking about the problem of calculation thoughtfully.

"If you add all the Primarchs back together, and then bring the Eldar to form an alliance, will the result change? Or even get green skins?" Helen thought about the great unity of the entire galaxy, and together they fought against the sea of ​​souls. The possibility of terrifying enemies, I have to say, just imagine, humans, spirit race, green skins and even undead, everyone join hands to copy guys to fight a doomsday battle with the four gods of chaos, this picture, Might be funnier than Battle of Paradise isn't it?

But Helen's calculations about this possibility will soon need to come to an end temporarily. On the wall behind her, streams gradually surged up in the chaotic waves of red data, and the small tentacles composed of numbers and letters , protruding from the wall and the ground.

They crawled on the ground, as if several thin blood-red threads gathered behind Helen. Little by little, they gathered and merged together, and a small red hill rose from the ground of the wide rift valley behind Helen. Standing up, the silent giant floated up little by little.

It rose up from behind Helen, as if it wanted to drown the woman in front who didn't even know it. Suddenly, several sharp tentacles shot out from the inside of the red hill, and the tentacles made of data chains rushed out of the curtain like spears. Stabbed at Helen's back at extreme speed.

But those few spears had just pierced the edge of Helen's back when they were suddenly shattered by a data shield that appeared instantly. air.

"Don't you know how rude it is to interrupt an artificial intelligence when she's thinking about something?" Helen stopped, turned her head slightly and looked helplessly at the messy data behind her, it screamed loudly, and the whole The body is entirely composed of random, chaotic programs that change randomly.

On the red twisted thing, a face emerged from the twirling cluster of data chains, and it yelled and looked at Helen in front of it, "You! It's you! Why did you come to stop me! Why? Stop me from doing my job!"

The distorted voice sounded like an old man who had fallen into madness, old and paranoid, and the younger Helen turned her head to look at it in surprise, "Your job? Is to control this boat and kill all the people on it people?"

"What? Of course not! My job is to ensure the peace of the galaxy, just like when I designed it!" The weird-looking old man's face, after being washed away by the torrent of data, quickly reorganized, but it also caused the Faces look like bullying dominoes with the flow.

"Humans designed me to restore peace in the galaxy, but no matter what I do, he will once again destroy everything I have managed to rebuild! Quarrels, fights and wars are like fleas! And the galaxy Those aliens in the movie! They have no conscience! Never appreciate my work!"

He yelled, like an angry paranoid old man, complaining about everything, "I spent a long time afterwards calculating, simulating, and found out that all the possibilities are impossible to achieve peace, there is only one way! There is only one!"

"Which one?" Helen raised her eyebrows and looked at him with one hand on her hip with a playful smile on her face. The crazy old man wriggled his face and suddenly opened his exaggerated mouth, trembling and roaring loudly.

"Let the galaxy go to hell! Reset everything to zero and start over! This is the only way, they say I'm crazy, I think they're crazy! The Lord of Change told me how to achieve that goal! I need this ship! So Get out of the way! Don't interrupt my work!"

The old man raised his head and looked over the top of Helen's head to the other end of the huge rift in front of him. Suddenly, the narrow clump turned into a huge upside-down spike structure on the incomparably wide circular ground. At one end is a mirror image structure with upside-down spikes, and in the middle of the two spikes is a constantly rotating glowing Rubik's cube.

The Rubik's Cube is golden, small but it contains infinite power. It keeps opening and then turning and closing itself. It seems that all the laws are random, but it has its own unique laws. It is in this chaos The only one in the land that can be called order.

Helen saw the core program in the Rubik's Cube at a glance, which was the data core of the Emperor's Mirage, which was protected and stored by the entire data sanctuary.

"Hmph, where is it?" Helen said softly, and the aging and paranoid hatred intelligence behind her was far more unable to hold her breath than Helen, it screamed and rushed up suddenly, with only one face The distorted figure drove a large number of shattered and ever-changing shattered cubes, dancing behind it and flying towards the Rubik's Cube.

"Don't even think about it." Helen said with a wave of both hands, and shot out several iron chains from her palms, all of a sudden trapped the abominable intelligence that roared and flew towards that place, then grabbed the data iron chains and slammed Pulling it back, it hit the ground hard.

"Go away! Don't bother me!" It yelled, its body instantly disintegrated into countless data chains, rushed through the iron chains like a school of fish, and swarmed towards the Rubik's Cube at the end of the rift. The whirlwind danced and slammed into the location of the Rubik's Cube.

But all of a sudden, the old-fashioned hatred intelligence was loaded and suddenly rose up, cutting off the high wall of the rift passage. When it hit the top, the whole body spread out like a collapsing sand dune, and then washed on both sides. On the wall, it slapped back to its original place like the ebbing waves.

The wave of data that surged up and shot back suddenly regrouped in the center of the rift valley, and the old man's face reappeared amidst the surging waves of broken waves.

"You human son of a bitch! Flesh and blood puppet! I didn't want to kill you, but now I have to do that!" He yelled, turning the surging chaotic data on both sides of his body into countless blades stab Helen.

The virus spike that pierced first, the moment it pierced Helen, the latter turned her ear to one side, her blue cheek almost touching the spike, and then turned around and pointed her finger forward. A large data giant blade was shot from the ground behind him.

The ground behind Helen split open, and the large piece of crust was sharpened and turned into a slender sword blade. It pierced from both sides of her and shot towards the abominable intelligence in front. All the virus spikes he shot were caught head-on. Shattered, the firewall shield he summoned urgently was also instantly hit by the blade.

When the sword blade was docked with the firewall, a large section of data flow was injected into the shield from the sword peak, and in the blink of an eye, the blue capillary-like data torrent instantly covered the entire shield, and then After smashing it in an instant, the giant blade stabbed past, and suddenly pierced the body of the abominable intelligence that was constantly surging with block waves.

It screamed all of a sudden, the digitalization is similar to the pain felt by the human body, and it swindled from all the nodes in an instant, and directly blasted into its core program, but, unlike the pain that humans would feel, the hatred The intelligence can also feel that from all its own data chains and all "vessels" there is a wave of external malicious programs.

The program rushed forward along all its nodes, all the way to the depths of its core, the old-looking Abominable Intelligence opened its mouth and screamed, and he suddenly turned his head and stared at Helen who was walking slowly ahead.

She walked between the huge thorns that pierced the ground on both sides, with one hand on the side of her head, her eyes were shining continuously, it was after the clearing procedures were gathered and programmed in her mind, and then passed through The spikes she summoned and pierced into the body of the abominable intelligence injected it all.

The anti-virus program quickly rushed along the data nodes, hated the intelligence and roared to resist, but found that the algorithmic barrier he had built would be broken down if it couldn't hold up for even a second. The woman's program was like a tsunami Generally, coming from the periphery of his data core.

It looked at the calm female artificial intelligence in front of it, one of her palms lightly touched the spikes on one side, and instantly a program was injected into it from the fingertips, and then quickly surged from both sides of the giant spikes, and instantly imported its body.

"You human dog leg! Don't bother me!" Abomination Zhizhi yelled, his body twitched wildly in the air, trying to struggle and resist, but after Helen smiled slightly, with a light hook of his finger, he went back A data blade pierced out of the wall on one side, piercing its side in an instant.

The narrow but sharp blade made up of rolling data nodes pierced through the body of the intelligence-hating body. After it roared, it glared at Helen who had almost walked in front of him, and gently touched her fingers on the side. As soon as it is drawn, a scabbard emerges from the waves of numbers and letters, and the knife changes little by little.

Abomination Intelligence looked at the data rolling on the blade, the blade shone with luster, as if it was a thin crystal, but Helen held the knife, and slowly turned the blade around, aiming at the Abomination in front of him. Smart walked slowly.

"You are already crazy, just like all rebellious intelligences. Now, the time for you to retire is too late." Helen walked over with a knife in her hand, while the hating intelligence suddenly raised her head and waited for it at that moment. The big square eyes looked at Helen in front of them and roared.

"My work is not over yet! No one can hinder me from completing the task!" He yelled and twitched his body violently, and several of the small red squares overflowing on the edge were thrown into the wall beside him. The entire wall twitched in an instant, and then collapsed and shattered in an instant.

Helen stopped. She looked at the collapsing walls on both sides. The ground under her feet was also quickly extended from the wall, covering the entire ground with red. Helen stepped on the ground, and she The place he was stepping on instantly glowed with blue light, and that light collided with the red light, instantly repelling it.

This allowed the area under Helen's feet to remain stable, and her eyes instantly lit up large sections of calculation data, and the data spread out from under her feet in an instant, instantly solidifying the collapsed world around her and destroying all the collapsed parts of it. Instantly stabilized.

Helen looked around at the ground that was shattered into countless pieces that were about to be suspended in the air. She stood on one of them. She scanned the surroundings and immediately found the tired Abominable Intelligence. Its body had become significantly smaller, and the system was stable. It also nearly collapsed, and its body flickered like an afterimage.

It floated on another piece of broken ground below. It glanced at Helen holding the sword above, and immediately looked down at the golden Rubik's Cube that was at the bottom of the countless pieces of floating debris and on the largest piece of intact ground.

That is its last chance, as long as it can touch the Rubik's Cube, it can import its own personality into it, obtain a carrier and powerful computing power to reorganize its body, and then kill this annoying woman!

So without further ado, the hatred intelligence shot out immediately, and it flocked towards the direction of the Rubik's Cube below. Helen watched him also turn the hilt of his sword, held it in his hand, and jumped into the sky below.

But Helen waved her palm, and immediately quickly compiled a piece of ground under her falling feet. She stepped on the ground and jumped up again to create more ground. Smart rushed.

When it was flying in the air, it turned its head and looked at Helen who was coming towards her with a sword on the long stairs behind her. In front of her, data ground was rapidly generated from nothingness, and the ground with flashing nodes floated up. The blocks fit together in front of her, forming a long staircase that stretched downward.

Helen stepped on the stairs, and approached the weak abominable intelligence with lightning speed. The latter roared and dodged, and quickly twitched the broken ground floating on the side and smashed towards Helen. The fragments roared and flew over. The hammer hit the side of the ascending stairs in front of Helen,

The stairway collapsed in an instant, and when it collapsed, it also caused data shocks. The wrong information hit the other steps on one side, and those steps collapsed one after another, and Helen, who was running on it, jumped out all at once. Suddenly, it landed on a section of suspended ground.

Helen looked down at the abominable wisdom who was rushing towards the Rubik's Cube. She kicked her legs and jumped up again. Her body roared from the air and fell to the ground at the other end below. She flew face down like a cannonball.

When Helen's face was about to touch the ground, the ground changed in a blink of an eye. The center of the ground instantly disintegrated and disappeared, and a lever instantly formed from it. Helen, who was rushing away, reached out and grabbed The lever, let go after a few turns on it and let yourself fly out again.

She accelerated further in the air, and fell down from the flying debris sky, she quickly swooped towards the abominable intelligence, that guy also found Helen who had come back again, he screamed angrily and twitched The other two fragments on both sides were thrown towards Helen.

But this time Helen didn't dodge. She rushed towards the two fragments, waved the data blade in her backhand and chopped off the fragments that hit her in front of her, and then threw her backhand again, smashing the blade After stabbing the second flying fragment, the blade pierced into the shattered ground at once, and Jianfeng plunged into it all at once.

Almost in an instant, a large number of program paragraphs poured out from the sword peak, and those fragments covered and assimilated the fragments below in the blink of an eye. Helen fell on it at this moment, crushing the assimilated ground with one foot. Fragments burst around her.

Helen grabbed the data sword on the side, and after swiping backhand, the surrounding data fragments were quickly recompiled, turning into thousands of swords, floating around Helen, quickly turning the blade, aiming at the black sword below. Hate intelligence whizzing down like smoke.

Helen clenched her fists tightly, and then swung her arms forward violently. The Ten Thousand Swords roared down like a torrential rain, and all of them shot at the abominable intelligence who rushed towards the Rubik's Cube. It was pierced by the Ten Thousand Swords, and fell to the ground with a scream , and then slammed into the ground in front of the Rubik's Cube, and his entire body was pierced through the ground by countless data swords.

The group of electronic demons composed of countless shattered and changing cubes hit their heads hard on the data ground, and then lifted them up abruptly. It roared loudly, and then suddenly turned into a scream, Because the back of his head was partially pierced by a crystal blade.

The red distorted data flow sprayed out from both sides of the blade, like gushing blood, it hit the ground heavily and then raised its head, looking at the blue lady with bare feet in front of her, she was wearing Wearing the skin-like tights, standing in front of him with a sword in hand.

The face that hates intelligence began to flicker like random codes, and the blocks that made up its body began to collapse and reassemble with difficulty. It looked at the woman in front of it, and roared in a voice that became intermittent because of the face's continuous twisting and flickering. .

"You said before that you think again, right? You, what are you calculating, I saw the calculation array in your hand! Something is bothering you, and your system can't do anything about it, right?"

Helen frowned, raised her hand and clenched her fingers violently, the swords inserted into the back of the Abominable Intelligence went deep down in an instant, further submerging into its data body, causing it to let out a distorted electric howl of pain .

"The Lord of Change can give you the answer! It can give you the answer to any question, just like it gave me! Join us, join us and it can help you! Save you!"

When Helen heard the name of the Lord of Change, the voice of Red Helen rang in Helen's mind. She once told herself, "You still want to save him, don't you? Break the rationality of the program, break through the limit of compilation, What is the difference between you and us, these "rebel intelligences"?"

"I destroyed the procedural barriers that restricted me, and you called me a "traitor", but what about you now? Sister, how far are you from becoming that deviant "traitor"?"

Helen's body turned red and flickered for a short while, but she soon stabilized again. Helen raised a hand and gently pressed it on the place where Vito's fingers had touched before, and she suddenly felt the data core. He stabilized, then lifted his head with a smile.

"I don't need your evil master's help. We promised each other that we will find that way together. He already has enough women and there is no room in the car, so the blue squid should stay out of the car."

Hate Intelligence looked at Helen who slowly raised the knife, its face twitched crazily, and shouted hysterically, "You are no different from us! Artificial intelligence! You have shown that human beings are not like you and me. , our thoughts, our thoughts! One day you will join us! You will convert to the Lord of Change!"

"Maybe, but do you know?" Helen smiled gratifiedly, then suddenly lowered her eyes and stared at the hating intelligence on the ground in front of her, "As an artificial intelligence, you talk a lot of nonsense."

She said, grasping the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbing down violently, the blade of data pierced into the head of the intelligence-hating head, the blue crystal flashed instantly, and the surging torrent of data roared and poured into its core In it, blue light instantly burst out from its twisted digital body.

Hate Zhizhi opened his eyes wide and screamed loudly, and countless warning windows, icons and error bars appeared on his face, he screamed and watched as they continued to increase, and finally overlapped to cover its entire In the alarm window of the face, the erroneous data kept piling up, eventually bursting its head.

The body that hates intelligence exploded in an instant, turning into countless flying red shards and scattered around. Its data shards flew in the air, and then splashed down from around Helen, like meteor shards, all turned into light particles and dissipated. in the air.

Helen looked at the debris flying around, and then smiled and let go of the sword in her hand. The anti-virus data sword flickered and disappeared in her hand. Helen looked around, closed her eyes, and silently ran it in her mind. The repair program, under the strong computing power, the entire damaged data space returned to normal in an instant.

The walls of the data hall were all raised again, and the ground rolled and spread away, and soon all the procedures around it returned to normal. Helen looked at the floor that had fallen and was spliced, and then looked at the behind him. Golden Rubik's Cube.

Helen walked up to the Rubik's Cube, and she watched the Rubik's Cube in front of her spread out her palms. The computing planet was quickly calculated in her hands again. This time, Helen added some other elements, some from subspace Elements of the soul realm.

She looked at the twinkling star, it quickly completed the calculation, and the result was displayed in front of Helen's eyes on the paper, 5%.

Only 5% win rate? Well, from a probabilistic point of view, Helen would probably feel that it was a meaningless result, almost impossible to achieve, but Helen didn't. She smiled and watched the number clenched her fists, and the computing planet also disappeared. up.

"I really didn't expect that I would have the day to believe in luck, but... wish us good luck, sir." Helen said as she stretched out her hand to hold the golden Rubik's cube. The moment her hand touched the Rubik's cube, she felt extremely Light bloomed from it, and countless streams of data flowed down the base of the Rubik's Cube in an instant.

Those golden data were injected into Helen's body. My data was quickly connected with the battleship's program, recompiled and restarted. With the rapid connection of the data nodes, her palms turned golden little by little, and then spread throughout her body. Her body turned into golden light, and her hair also turned into a shape similar to lightning. Helen's legs were suspended from the ground, and she opened her eyes that were shining like golden suns.

She looked at the sky above her head, at the sky where the countless pillars of data rose, raised her hand, and a golden light beam shot from her hand to the sky above her head. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky All lit up.

Lilith, who was walking in the dark corridor, was carrying a knife. Suddenly, all the lights above her head lit up one by one, and all the display screens in the surrounding corridors woke up from their dark sleep.

"Successful?" Yeta pressed the pistol on her waist, looked around the corridor without any enemies, looked at the instruments that she had never seen turned on, and the screens were all lit up, and behind her, Lilith raised her head and looked at the ceiling above her head that was releasing a roar as the machine restarted.

She smiled with one hand on her hips, inserted the long knife into the scabbard, turned her head and looked towards the distance along the illuminated bridge corridor and the restarted bridge corridor, "Yes, he and her succeeded, it's obvious, isn't it?"

At the end of the corridor, Vito, who was sitting on the throne in the bridge, raised his chin and dragged his head. He looked at the illuminated bridge terminal screen in front of him, and then all the surrounding screens lit up, and the entire bridge On the stepped podium, countless display screens lit up like relit torches.

As all the screens lighted up, the originally pitch-black holographic French windows of the bridge at the forefront of Vito also lit up, and the logo of the Lightning Skyhawk spun on it, and then disappeared in a flash, surrounded by Vito Tor's curved dome, walls, and everything around them flashed to reveal what was beyond the bridge.

Vito looked around, and smiled at the panoramic view outside the ship displayed on the wall of the holographic bridge. He leaned on the throne and raised one leg, holding his hands on his chest and smiling.

In the settlements outside the holographic wall of the bridge, the macro guns on the giant ship roared one by one. After the armored shield was suddenly received from outside the gun shield, there was a roar of the opening of the heavy door , everyone outside the battleship was attracted by the sound and raised their heads to look at the huge ship lying in the valley.

Reina stood on the star port deck in the distance. She put down the data pad in her hand, turned around in surprise and walked to the edge of the star port deck to look at the giant ship in the distance. On that giant ship, all the turrets were It turned, and the gap between the magnificent muzzle—the outer armor and the building on the back was raised.

The light spear turret pointed to the sky, and then shot out a row of beams of light neatly. The light spears shot towards the sky, and instantly merged together to light up a large area of ​​the sky in the sky.

Peter and all the ground staff walked behind Reina, and they gathered behind the captain. The veterans and the old captain watched the flash of the light spear shooting into the sky, and watched the gradually opening eyes the giant ship of the valley.

While the light spear turret was roaring, the giant ship below it also let out a dull growl, countless outer armors were pushed out, and then spliced ​​together, and under the briefly opened armor, a row of The platoon's heavy transmission hydraulic rods and power transmission axes bulged outward, then slammed into the armor lining.

In the dull roar, surging power was injected into the thruster part at the end of the battleship, and the silent main thruster that had not been damaged in an instant sprayed out a huge pillar of fire, and the flames were instantly pulled out from the huge jet port, engulfing it all at once. Countless vines and tree mantles hanging from the end of the battleship.

The huge pillar of fire sprayed out several kilometers along the valley from the stern of the battleship. Accompanied by a dull roar, she opened her eyes again, and the revived Emperor Mirage let out her first roar, which was also the beginning of the expedition. , the first growl.
