Chapter 392
Chapter 392 The End of the Human Era Has Arrived (3)
An outsider who did not exist in Arcadia.
Machine Consciousness Gestalt.
He was forcibly brought to Arcadia by Stella, who had changed his job as a dimensional gatekeeper, and was forcibly incorporated into this virtual world setting. Despite being an artificial intelligence made of machines, he was in great shock.
[Unidentified dimension..... communication with the main planet...] A
completely different world from what I've seen so far. A huge consciousness that exchanged information in real time with trillions of machines disappeared without a trace and was left alone. He couldn't send any information or call for support, but he cautiously started to activate his logic circuits.
[Self-action code activated. Activation of autonomous logic circuit.....]
[Formation of independent neural network. Establishing the highest priority purpose.....]
A controller personality who establishes the best response plan and goal according to the given situation and conditions, rather than following orders. And it wasn't long before he started making grandiose plans.
[Building a planetary array network. Building a drone production network as a top priority. Construction of an antimatter power plant and a mineral smelter.]
He pours out work to build an outpost and secure energy and resources by utilizing the vast facilities and equipment dormant on this pioneering ship. And besides that in-house development, there was a mountain of problems to deal with.
[Unspecified number of organisms detected. Detects Psionic energy waves.]
Organisms that are the greatest threat to the great mechanical civilization, and the object of loathing and hatred.
Numerous living, breathing organisms that are continuously detected by tachyon radar with precise accuracy capable of detecting everything in a radius of hundreds of kilometers one by one. Sensing their presence, he set a goal.
[Establish a priority goal to achieve. Purification of all organisms on the entire planet.]
He said he would annihilate all life in this fantasy world of Arcadia.
Gee ying.
Gestalt annihilated all members of the Cygnus Guild, including Stella, the person who summoned him. He started the huge engine mounted at the back of the ship. To achieve the grand goal of transforming this world into a machine-only planet with no organisms to be found.
* * *
In the past, nearly 100 million users enjoyed playing on the Japanese continent.
However, since Arcadia Co., Ltd. temporarily stopped all services limited to Japan, this continent, where adventurers crowded around the continent every day, was literally abandoned.
[Hmm... It's good to monopolize rewards like quests and dungeons with only NPCs, but... why?
] Anyway, it seems that there are more disadvantages than advantages.]
[Didn't the entire continent just taste? It's just that there is no such thing as chaos?]
A huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose one day in the Shouen Empire, which boasted the most powerful influence. Since then, the Japanese continent has been torn apart into dozens of minor kingdoms, fighting a bloody war. A continent that has been neglected by users around the world due to the absence of adventurers and the unstable situation of civil war that has spread throughout the continent.
That is why it was not possible to quickly convey to anyone about the urgent situation that is currently taking place in the Japanese continent.
One peaceful afternoon under a cloudless blue sky.
The natives of Arcadia, who are all busy with their daily lives. It was a city where no adventurers could be found, but it was a place that exuded the atmosphere of a lively and lively metropolis.
“ruler. Apples are cheap, cheap! These are the apples I just picked yesterday!”
“Young man over there, don’t you think of hanging a portrait in your house? I'll make it cheaper.”
“This guy! got it! Where are you stealing from?”
“Uh... Ugh! sorry! please forgive me!”
The market is noisy and noisy, filled with the cries of those who solicit customers and the voices of people bargaining and fighting.
However, when the sky suddenly became dark, the place was enveloped in silence as if it had never happened.
“What the hell is that...?”
“I can't believe it..... What is that...?”
People who look up at the sky inadvertently and freeze at the sight that comes into their eyes. The gigantic spaceship that suddenly appeared filling the sky after covering the sun was something that the NPCs of Arcadia could never understand.
The moment everyone is looking up at with bewilderment and curiosity.
Strange noises began to be heard from the ship.
Woo woo woo.
“what....?”
“wow! mom! look at that! Very pretty!”
The ship started emitting a soft blue light with a strange vibration sound, and those who gathered and looked at it as if it were a mysterious sight.
But at that moment, the ship's control persona was scavenging for available energy and attempting to activate the most powerful weapon aboard this frontier ship.
[Maximum output of Charged Particle Cannon. Hit target setting.....]
The latest weapon of mechanical civilization that can blow away even the most powerful barrier at once if hit properly. After charging it to its maximum, the Gestalt released its power while aiming at an area where countless humans were crowding, staring at it with ignorant faces.
[Charged particle cannon fires.]
And at that moment.
A huge flash struck the city's central market.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A city that shines in pure white for an instant. Then, along with super-high heat reaching hundreds of millions of degrees, a tremendous shock wave began to sweep everything away.
The mushroom cloud rising from the Shouen Empire is incomparably more destructive. The enormous power that completely engulfs a city and oxidizes everything in it to dust without leaving a trace is surely a symbol of Gestalt, which annihilated their creator organism and built their own independent mechanical civilization. It was no different.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A city revealed after the dust that rose from the reaction of the tremendous explosion cleared. But there was nothing left that could be called a city.
A huge pit and a charred earth with an ugly appearance are clearly revealing their inner flesh. Seeing a city completely wiped out with just one strike, the gestalt hummed in satisfaction.
[No detectable biological response. extinction of organisms. Terrain flattening work completed.]
A site of destruction that is neatly organized with all sorts of unnecessary and obstructive miscellaneous things disappearing from the landing of the ship. There he began to slowly land his massive, massive body.
cooong.
Gestalt gives the illusion that the entire continent trembles because of its enormous mass and size even after just landing. And he immediately started working on his next plan.
[Ship modification. Establishing a planetary array.]
Ughhhh.
The body splits in half and begins to open, and soon the Gestalt begins to change its shape as if it were a transforming robot.
And soon after it was transformed into a huge building, something like a swarm of bees began to protrude from his body.
[Enable Recon Drones and Combat Drones. Construction drones activated.]
[Assigned construction targets. Construction of an anti-matter power plant.]
There are so many drones that you can't even fathom the scale.
Having vomited these drones, each one made of an alloy of great durability and packed with countless advanced mechanical devices that would never be allowed in this world, he began to take steps to achieve his overriding goal.
And all these situations were being shared with all employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd.
“.....”
“Is this... not a joke...? Is this a real situation in the game...?”
“This crazy...”
I'm not joking, but the staff, all white and looking like they're about to collapse at any moment.
That would be the case, and the goal that Gestalt was planning was very clear.
[Organism, you are replaced by a machine.]
The eradication of all living things and the establishment of a new civilization made only of machines.
All the staff of the Crisis Management and Response Team looked at Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and Kang Tae-hoon with expressions that everyone seemed to have a lot to say, looking at that unidentified alien ship moving to achieve this absurd and extreme goal.
‘Please try to make an excuse at least once.'
‘If you plan this to be really fun, I'll really write a resignation.'
‘Really... they were bastards with no lines.'
‘I'm not going to say bullshit that I don't have permission to read again or that I don't know, right?'
Originally, the two shrugged their shoulders in a situation like this. They were bosses who were consistent with an unfriendly and uncooperative attitude while talking about the right to read even to subordinates, so the employees seemed like they would just resign if they acted like that again this time.
But... this time things were a little different.
“First of all, there will be materials with detailed information about this situation in each email account. You can confirm it further by looking at it, but let me give you a rough explanation of the situation first.”
“...?”
Crisis management and response team members shake their heads when they say that they have already sent related materials by e-mail. Everyone was puzzled because they had never provided data in this way before, but everyone's expressions turned horrendous at Director Kang Tae-hoon's continued explanation.
“The second half crisis...?”
“No, what are you talking about? So, this was the content that was really planned as one of the great threats to Arcadia decades from now...?”
“This crazy...”
A common reaction among those who first encountered the existence of a crisis in the second half.
Looking at the people shaking their heads from side to side and muttering with expressions that looked like they were really crazy, managing director Kwon Myung-han stepped forward.
“At first, these were elements set for the purpose of converting the boredom and boredom caused by the stability of the game when the service was prolonged. It's obviously premature and seriously out of balance, but... I can't help it. As long as the trigger has already been activated and this late stage crisis has officially been triggered, we cannot stop it.”
“What the hell is that...”
“No, then what do you mean by this? What do we do...”
So the staff looked like they were asking what to do. Those who have no choice but to stand by the sidelines in a sense of helplessness with the authority itself blocked so that they cannot do anything. However, at the words of Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, the eyes of the employees widened.
“This is a situation that the boss was extremely against.”
“yes....?”
“The boss of the company...?”
“okay.”
President Lee Mi-yeon, who always talked about infinite freedom and infinite possibilities with an ignorant face even when the game broke and went into ruin. Everyone's faces were shocked and disbelieved that she, who was never friendly with the company and the operating staff, was sharing that goal this time.
“So the president is also trying to solve this problem by mobilizing all possible means in his authority. Since we cannot forcibly block the scenario that proceeds through the process legitimately, we have no choice but to mobilize all available systems to block it.”
Arcadia, which has the appearance of a game, but is close to another world.
In order to protect the virtual world, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han looked at everyone with eyes full of determination and said,
“Let’s all work together and try it once. To protect Arcadia and to protect our salaries.”
Arcadia Co., Ltd., who was oblivious to anything, consistently ignorant, and focused only on lukewarm handling.
But at this moment, they started to actively move.
To prevent the destruction of the virtual world of Arcadia...
and to protect their breadbasket.
