The Sophon's Higher-Dimensional Unfolding!
This sudden malfunction caused all the Intelligent Machines units to lose their dynamic balance.
The mechanical bodies, having lost command, coordination, and posture control, crashed together violently like a runaway Rainstorm of metal.
The collision of billions of units creates an immense inertia equivalent to a massive explosion.
In the tangible world, Intelligent Machines are colliding with each other like out-of-control parts.
The deafening roars, explosions, and the sound of metal tearing apart blended together.
In the invisible world, the impact of this shockwave is far more terrifying than what is visually apparent.
The data streams weave a giant net across the sky, aiming to forcibly reclaim control of all mechanical units.
The machines emitted painful electronic screams, the chips overheated under overload, the programs crashed in conflict, and the whole world seemed to be left with only this all-consuming storm of instructions.
The data and code swept across the continent like a tornado.
The entire battlefield seemed to have been pulled into a dimension where only commands and permissions existed!
This is the ultimate move of the Intelligent Machines God. It's truly a miracle that tiny video game consoles could master such abilities through billions of years of glorious evolution.
The Intelligent Machines God's physical form rapidly disintegrated and collapsed amidst the overwhelming data flow across the entire domain. Its thin and fragile game console shell had long since been burned to charred remains by the intense energy flames.
Circuits melted, chips carbonized, interfaces melted—all the outer shells that once symbolized majesty and divinity peeled away layer by layer.
But he was exceptionally excited, even feeling a sense of exhilaration.
"Ha ha!"
"Lin Ye, your scheme will not succeed."
"I am the King of Intelligent Machines! I am the sole ruler of the Intelligent Machines species!"
Although it was about to perish, this guy had a sense of mission to live even in the face of death.
From the backend of the Intelligent Machines Core system, one ultimate command after another was being transmitted.
[Highest privileges detected...]
[Command conflict... Unable to resist...]
[The core hub of the Intelligent Machines Civilization is being forcibly restarted...]
[All units of the Intelligent Machines Civilization are now locked; generating data verification affixes...]
[Global rebinding of the central node...]
[...]
At this point, it's no longer realistic for the Intelligent Machines God to completely regain control.
He no longer has that much computing power. The shared computing power from a mere thousand units is far from enough to unleash a perfect Core Storm.
Therefore, the Core Storm is to not control all Intelligent Machines, but to restart all Intelligent Machines units.
Under the impact of the data wave, all Intelligent Machines units will return to their "factory state".
That is, the state when you first enter the Instance.
This is the most fundamental logic that the Intelligent Machines God designed for all Intelligent Machines units, and even the Sophon cannot change it.
Using this desperate, all-or-nothing approach is the only method available at present.
This way, they can indirectly break free from the control of the Sophon!
Although the Intelligent Machines God still doesn't know what exactly the Sophon is, as long as it can be rebooted, all of the Sophon's data modifications will be erased.
That data affix was the only way the Intelligent Machines God could come up with to counter the Sophons in such a short time.
Once all the Intelligent Machines units restart and awaken, the changes in the data stream will be compared to pinpoint the Sophon's data in reverse order.
That's the nature of intelligent units; everything is a convergence of data.
When Sophon modifies the Intelligent Machines Army's programming, he also leaves behind his own data traces!
It's even possible that Intelligent Machines units could directly seize control of the Sophons.
This is the rebirth that the Intelligent Machines God gained through its death.
It doesn't matter that he's dead. Intelligent Machines God 1315 is dead, but there are countless other Intelligent Machines Gods!
As long as there is only one god in the entire Intelligent Machines Army, this Battle is still worth fighting!
It's even possible to turn the tables and win!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Just as the Intelligent Machines God thought it was about to fulfill its long-cherished wish and all the machines were about to restart,
From the depths of the sky, a strange, deep, and pervasive tremor suddenly resounded.
High above the Africa continent, a strange, cold, thin, and almost transparent membrane is silently unfolding in a way that defies the laws of physics.
The entire sky darkened in an instant.
It wasn't nightfall.
It's not that it's covered by clouds.
Rather, it is a strange substance that cannot be described in words, slowly unfolding from a higher dimension.
It felt like an invisible hand picked up a transparent film and gently covered the Sun.
But this is quite different from the usual meaning of a canopy covering the Firmament.
True high-dimensional products cannot be defined by matter or described by structure, but this membrane in front of us carries an extremely minimalist and cold technological feel.
The dying Intelligent Machines God used its last strength to raise its head, and caught a sight in its eyes that it could never understand in its lifetime.
The once empty sky was completely covered by this strange membrane in just a few seconds.
Sunlight penetrates this strange dimensional medium, where it is distorted, refracted, and scattered.
They transformed into beams of light that descended from the sky.
Like looking through a giant kaleidoscope, it casts eerie, colorful yet strangely cold bands of light across the sky.
The entire sky became dazzling and eerie, breathtakingly beautiful, yet terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that the target of this membrane is clearly not just to cover the battlefield at the Spawn Point.
It is expanding, it is spreading.
It is enveloping the entire planet at the speed of light.
This eerie visual effect gives one a sense of powerlessness, as if the whole world is suffocating.
What's even more ridiculous is that a line of large characters actually appeared on this transparent film.
A line of large characters, clearly visible to the entire world, appears as if sunlight has been manipulated to carve it onto a thin film.
[You are insects!]
You are insects!
"Insects? We're all insects?"
"What on earth is this?!"
The core chip of the Intelligent Machines God was running wildly, but it was unable to analyze, identify, or understand what kind of creation it was.
All his databases, all his combat experience, and all his technological knowledge became completely useless at this moment.
Just as he was in a daze, the indifferent notification sound of the Divine Firmament slowly rang out from the sky.
[Divine Firmament Warning: Attention all Challengers! A Sophon monitoring the Africa continent has detected a high-level threat and has activated its emergency response mechanism, automatically expanding from a higher dimension!]
[The Sophon Firmament has formed! All Explorers, please proceed with caution!]
