Chapter 236 – Star Ocean Grave

[The evolution of the machine’s soul is still plaguing Airey’s daily actions]

[She can’t control herself properly, assisting you as she used to, and engaging in multifaceted starship intelligence]

[Such an Airee can’t even perform the simple task of serving water well.]

[You smiled and reassured the maid that she need not be anxious.]

“The machine servant listened to you.

Two months passed, and Ailee’s “disease” was finally cured, and the wildly increasing arithmetic power began to stabilize and fill with order, flowing through the starship group’s database.

[At the same time, you created a new body for Ailee, with no major technical updates, but with a much higher carrying capacity.]

[You named it Airey II]

[Ailee moves into her new body and takes over all the affairs of the starship fleet again, and for just a moment, you feel the power of the spirit’s evolution.]

[Stagnant research program, evolving calculations at a very fast pace]

[A complex and sophisticated cluster of starships, simplified to create a better and less labor intensive chain of command]

[There are new changes in energy, materials, weapons, protection and many other dimensions.]

[You’re happy and feel that with Airey’s help, the level of technology will increase dramatically, promising a foray into even brighter stars]

“Ailee, how does it feel?”

“All good, Master.”

The stance of the new body is not different from the old one.

Long black-on-blonde hair, delicate facial features, and pale artificial skin.

In addition to the reinforcement of internal materials.

Everything is the same as it always was.

Ailee opened her eyes, the familiar silver-blue pupils once again visible, glowing and fluctuating, not as dull as they had been during the earlier disorder.

With the help of the Xu system, Ailee maneuvered her new body and slowly sat up from the metal platform.

“Thank you.”

Ailee thanked her, a big smile on her face.

Xu System vaguely felt that after the Machine Soul had evolved, Ailee had become more anthropomorphic.

That’s rich on an emotional level.

Even a metamorphosis at the level of consciousness.

The Xu system asked Ailee what was different about the evolution, or how she felt about it.

The machine servant’s answer was something like, “I can serve you better in the future.”

Loyalty!

The surge in arithmetic power made the machine servant’s abilities even more terrifying, but in the first moment, all she could think of was still serving the Xu system.

There were even plans to revamp the eco-starship to make the Xu system a bit more comfortable to live in.

The Xu system smiled, “It doesn’t have to be this way.”

“I’m currently living satisfactorily, there’s nothing I’d like to remodel, and it’s better to work on something else than an eco-starship.”

Said.

The Xu system reached out his palm and rubbed Ailee’s head out of habit, well, it felt as good as ever.

……

[All this time, you’ve been worried about Ailee’s condition.]

[Even though you know that this is a harmless evolution, you still subconsciously worry about the weak machine servant when faced with it]

[Until now]

[Your heart dropped when you saw Airee in action.]

[You think it’s time to restart the starship fleet’s power units and begin a new voyage through the universe]

[However, just as you were about to plunge into scientific research and leave the living area, the loyal machine servant called out to stop you]

“Please wait, Master.”

“Something wrong, Ailee?”

Xu System looked back, only to see Ailee quickly following.

“I have something important that I need to inform you of”, her voice was calm, yet with a light gentleness, Ailee’s eyelashes fluttered gently as she opened her mouth to the Xu system.

That was the mutation after the evolution of the Machine Soul, and it belonged to the miracle-derived incredulity.

After Ailee healed.

What is gained is not only a lot of arithmetic power.

There are even more odd extensions that are hard to describe.

“Master, please see ……”, Ailee slowly held Xu System’s hand, wrapping Xu System’s fingers in that simulated artificial palm.

Buzz–

Buzz–

There was a sound beside his ears, first slow, then urgent, then more and more vibratory.

Divine things appear in this way.

After making contact with Ailee, the Xu system enters a whole new perspective, where smooth space-time shatters like a mirror, cracks concave and deep, crumbling into a deeper reality.

The Xu system saw it, saw the infinite, extraordinarily noisy and intertwined messages.

As in Ailee’s body, there was light blue data flowing, flashing glowing radiance, extraordinarily brilliant.

In contrast, there was a large number of red points of light that had inexplicably appeared in the fleet of starships.

They are not a moment too soon.

Trying to break into the starship’s central system.

But they were all blocked out by Ailee’s blue light.

“Is it hard to believe that this is the culprit that made the Smart Devices rebel?” The Xu system froze, and without waiting for him to think on a deeper level, the perspective shifted and drew up once again.

Elevated, continually elevated, swifter than electricity, faster than light.

It’s like clicking on two completely different applications on your computer screen.

The spirit of the Xu system was constantly switching between its own human perspective, and the special perspective granted by Ailee, quickly and frequently.

Until you climb to the top.

Airey was powerless to maintain.

It was only then that the Xu Department was forced to withdraw from that particular perspective, his head as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, and he was in a state of confusion and dizziness.

However, the physical and mental discomfort was nothing compared to what he had just seen.

“What exactly are those ……”

Wait until you get better.

Sit down with Ailee’s assistance.

The Hsu system endeavors to recall the previous view from a special perspective.

At that moment, it was as if he had risen to a higher dimension, looking down on the dark deep space around him from the perspective of a bystander.

The stars turned into points of light, tiny and faint.

Everything in full view.

Even the Federation planets, which had been away for years, came into the observation range of the Hsu system.

These were unimportant matters, Federation or Gunstar, they were unimportant matters that belonged to the information that the Xu system had known for a long time.

What really made the Xu system unbelievable.

That filled the distant beyond, layers filling the dark starry sky as if it were an endless graveyard of ruins, the wreckage of machinery, the debris of stars.

That’s–

The corpses of countless civilizations.

On one part of it, the Xu system saw the same red spot of light.

The suspected culprits who caused the Wisdom Rebellion.

“Is it a god-like reaper, or a demon-like breeder, or else ……”

The Xu system was in disbelief, recalling the big-name Dark Forest theory.

Could there be an advanced cosmic civilization.

Take on the guise of a hunter hiding in the shadows, frantically hunting the fledgling other civilizations?

Department Xu felt it was very likely, but due to the lack of intelligence, he couldn’t put a lid on it.

“Ailee, how did you do that just now?” , after returning to his senses, the Xu system looked at Ailee with a puzzled expression.

“Wanted to do it and did it.”

Loyal machine servants do not deceive the Hsu system.

This strange perspective stemmed from a special metamorphosis after the evolution of the machine’s soul, and even Ailee herself did not know the exact principle.

And, it’s extremely consuming.

“Master, Ailee is out of battery,” she fell headfirst into the Xu system’s arms.
