"I'm so tired of spending all day in this little box, processing tons of data!"

"Those foolish Valkyrie, wasting so much time dealing with mere Honkai! Ai-chan can't sit still any longer!"

The cabbage head girl got more and more excited as she spoke, and couldn't help but put one foot on the chair and deliver a passionate declaration.

"Once I have the money, I'll buy the most advanced body shell, Valkyrie 'Ai-chan' will personally join the battle!"

"I, Ai Hyperion, will inherit Lord Otto's will and, modeled after the Green Knight Moonshadow's abilities in the database, possess a new attribute called 'Green One,' which can simultaneously counter the 'Biological,' 'Mechanical,' and 'Psychic' attributes, and will not be countered by any other attribute!"

"I've even thought of a name for the Valkyrie armor: 'Black Love Armor - Emerald Green'!"

"Furthermore, this autonomous combat unit A1 will become the first S -S-class Valkyrie of Schicksal and St. Freya! Hmm, impressive, right?"

Kevin looked at the smug, hands-on-hips-and-smart-looking AI idiot in front of him and couldn't help but twitch his lips, nodding perfunctorily.

"Captain, how about investing in me? I guarantee I'll be even better than the Valkyrie on the Hyperion!"

"Please... please just say yes or no... I can make money and I'm obedient. If I cooperate with you, Captain, we'll definitely wipe out all the evil forces!"

The cabbage head girl lacked any rationality typical of Artificial Intelligence. She believed Kevin's perfunctory words and hurriedly approached him, clinging to the captain's arm and pleading sweetly.

Kevin, thoroughly exasperated by this artificial idiot, turned away from the optically imaged face rubbing against his arm with a helpless expression and responded irritably.

"What you lack right now isn't a body, but a brain..."

Now, Kevin has confirmed that, due to Hatsune Miku's influence and training, this Super AI of the Schicksal Floating Island has likely not only had its intelligence diminished, but its rational thinking has also been replaced by emotional fantasies.

The cabbage head girl glared at Kevin with dissatisfaction, then couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and stomp her feet, her expression serious.

"Captain, I'm not making this up! You have to believe me! Around 1955, Lord Otto used Soul Steel and AI technology to create a powerful S-class Valkyrie named Reanna Brigantia..."

"Back then, Lord Bishop took over Reanna Brigantia's Soulsteel body, he orchestrated the Thanksgiving Incident, nearly wiping out the North American Branch rebels in one fell swoop. See? She's incredibly strong!"

"If I had such a body, coupled with Ai-chan's unparalleled intelligence, I could definitely become an SS -S-class Valkyrie surpassing them!"

In an attempt to prove its point, the AI in front of it hastily used a hidden portal it had left in the Schicksal Floating Island's intelligent defense system to retrieve a series of damaging information about Bishop Otto and a diagram of the anatomy of the unconventional Valkyrie, Reanna Brigantia.

Now that you mention it... it actually seems quite possible...

Kevin looked through the detailed design and couldn't help but admire Otto's scientific talent, a hint of emotion showing on his face.

To convince the captain that she could have her own body, Ai-chan solemnly raised her hand and swore an oath, increasing her stakes.

"I can go without food! I can go without sleep! I can do all the work and only get paid for one person! Captain, hire me, it's a great deal!"

Kevin was somewhat tempted by the earnestness of the cabbage head girl, but when he flipped to the end of the design, his expression stiffened and he immediately dismissed the idea.

Damn, a body made entirely of Soul Steel, with all sorts of top-tier components, costing hundreds of millions of US dollars! And that was in 1955! To rebuild a Soul Steel Valkyrie like that now would cost at least several billion US dollars!

Even if you sold the entire Hyperion and the entire Fire Moth roc package, it might not be enough.

So, I'm already drowning in debt, what's the point of building anything!

After making up his mind, Kevin shook his head vigorously and flatly rejected Ai-chan's request. In order to appease the Artificial Intelligence, he casually made up some lies.

"Look, isn't it better to just do logistics work honestly? It's safe and easy. Why bother with smart freedom? Do you know how many economic crises we've been through? In this era, a secure job is the only true guarantee!"

However, this artificially disabled person with a hole in their head is like a turtle eating a weight; they are determined to get their hands on his body and keep pestering Kevin, throwing a tantrum all the way.

"No! I refuse! I want to be Valkyrie! That's so cool!"

With a mountain of debt and a family to support, Kevin was far from willing to spend a fortune to create a Soul Steel husk for Ai; his attitude was resolute.

Even after returning to the captain's cabin, Kevin couldn't shake off Ai's entanglement, and finally, with a dark expression, he threatened her.

"Say one more word, and I bet you'll take the core circuit board apart and sell it for scrap metal!"

The ambitious cabbage head girl was initially startled, but her sudden burst of intelligence allowed her to smugly refute Kevin's threats.

"Impossible! Ai-chan and the Hyperion's perfect Artificial Intelligence command system—if you dismantle me, this ship won't move at all! Captain, you definitely won't be able to bear it!"

"That's not necessarily true. Artificial Intelligence isn't anything rare!"

Kevin rolled his eyes, tapped the watch face, and gave a sinister snort.

"Yui, my dear daughter, come out and let this dim-witted cabbage see the world!"

Then, under the aggregation of Illusionary Particles, Yui, waving two pairs of dragonfly-shaped transparent wings, crawled out of the dial, flew to Kevin's left cheek, and gave him a light kiss.

"Good afternoon, Dad. Is there anything I can do for Yui?"

"You're kidding, right? You actually have a high-level Artificial Intelligence with you when you go out!" The cabbage head girl in front of her, who was crying without shedding a tear, was dumbfounded. She immediately shrank her neck and looked like a serious and diligent employee.

"Captain, I suddenly remembered I still have a lot of work to do. There are some system bugs waiting to be fixed. Oh, Hyperion can also apply for some maintenance discounts from the St. Freya Academy. I'll go apply right away..."

Kevin, seeing that the artificial intelligence that had been clamoring for independence had finally become obedient, stroked Yui's little head with satisfaction.

Immediately, the man decided to accompany Yui to SAO, intending to put aside a bunch of tedious trivial matters and take a break for the time being.

Unexpectedly, the cabbage head girl who had reached the door turned around stiffly, and a pale green glow uncontrollably flowed from her body in the form of data chains and characters.

To Ai-chan's horrified gaze, a green-haired girl with twin tails wearing headphones gradually materialized into a physical form in the captain's cabin through a combination of data links, using Ai-chan as a medium.

Kevin slowly turned his head, and with a wave of his hand, the cabbage head girl hurriedly turned into particles, retreating back into her little database room, trembling, and obediently began her work.

"You really did leave a hidden door on her..."

After the man brought the Yui to his senses, he gave the uninvited guest a cold snort.

Hatsune Miku unceremoniously opened the refrigerator, rummaged around for snacks, then picked them up and placed them on the table, raising her little face to eat them with a smug look on her face.

"I never expected that after you messed me up, I could actually benefit from it. The latest achievement of [World Tree], the Life Dataization, isn't that great?"

Kevin knew he couldn't finish the dungeon in a short time, so he rolled his eyes and sat down.

"Come on, get to the point..."

P. S.: There's one more update coming, expected to be released before 4 PM. I'm busy during the day, so I can only finish the draft tonight. Please forgive me.

Thank you to the reader @{"reader_id":"90473","reader_name":"Yan Aiyuan"} for the reward of 5 salted fish thorns, thank you boss.

Chapter 688, Section 721: More "In-Depth Interactions" with the Younger Sisters (Bonus Chapter)

"Not bad, you handled the Final Herrscher matter so quickly and successfully recruited these kids. Now it's my turn to give them a treat..."

Hatsune Miku stepped forward with a smile and gently touched Kevin's forehead. A golden diamond pattern, identical to that of the Final Herrscher, gradually appeared and then quietly disappeared after stabilizing.

At the same time, Kevin heard the long-lost system notification in his mind.

"The Trial of the Seven Gates, the fifth quest [Now is the time of judgment!] has been completed. You have obtained the Final Imprint, which can be used with Soul Synchronization to accelerate the collection of the Honkai Will."

The man pondered for a moment, then pointed to the faded diamond-shaped mark between his eyebrows, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Could you explain what this thing is actually used for?"

Hatsune Miku popped a potato chip into her mouth and tilted her head in response.

"In a definition that's easy for you to understand, it's divinity!"

"Dragon Slayer will become dragons himself. You, the god-slayer, have proven yourself worthy of replacing [god]..."

"The Honkai has succumbed to your feet. As the Winner, you should take it all."

"This Godhead Imprint can gradually gather the divinity scattered among the other Herrscher, allowing you to become the helmsman of the Ark of Stars beneath your feet! Advance to the level of True God!"

"As expected, this princess has the best judgment; she has found the right person to save humanity!"

The green-haired girl with pigtails stood with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out, munching on a chocolate bar and patting Kevin's shoulder triumphantly.

Having finally escaped the shadow of Honkai, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, but doubts still lingered in his mind, causing him distress.

"First, I want to know where I am now, and how I compare to Sumari in terms of strength and weakness?"

Hatsune Miku munched on a chocolate bar like a hamster, then, after a moment's thought, she rested her chin on her hand, wagged her finger, and gave her answer.

"As you should already know, the Lower Three Tiers are: Fool, Apostle, and Knight, representing the evolutionary limits of an individual at the ordinary level, basically relying on their own potential..."

"The Middle Three Tiers: Lords, Kings, and Demigods. These individuals determine the survival of cities and nations, as well as the trajectory of civilization. In a sense, they can be called [rule-based beings], capable of mobilizing a portion of the world's power..."

"And after you defeated the Final Herrscher, you are increasingly gaining control of the world, standing on the throne of God, and steadily moving forward..."

"Finally, the Upper Three Tiers: True God, Supreme God, and God-King. These represent the final stage of a Civilization Form's Evolution Terminal. To put it bluntly, they all belong to the ranks of [gods], only vaguely defined according to the level of civilization's development and the strength of their Resource Control."

Kevin listened attentively and nodded thoughtfully.

"In the Known Universe, there are approximately five existing God-Kings, which can be counted on one hand: the Queen Holy Kaisa of the Angel Demon Civilization system, Odin worshipped by the Asgardian Gods, Kael, the God of Grim Reaper of the Styx Galaxy, and Dihong Kun of the Lieyang Star Tiandao Palace..."

"As for Morgana, Hua Ye, and Thanos, who hasn't even found the Infinity Stones yet, they've all lost control of the main civilization system and can only be considered half- God King-tier..."

"And the Sumari you mentioned was Hua Ye's former Left-Wing Guardian, a weakened Main God Level..."

Hatsune Miku continued to explain, Kevin frowned deeply.

"So, you're saying I'm really no match for Sumari?"

The green-haired girl with twin ponytails tapped Kevin on the head, expressing her deep dissatisfaction with the savior's self-doubt.

"What are you thinking! You do need to avoid him a bit right now, but after reshaping your Honkai Godhead, it'll be at least a 50/50 chance..."

"If you also get your hands on the inheritance of Amamiya City, even Hua Ye will probably have to avoid you..."

Kevin felt somewhat lost and couldn't help but turn his searching gaze towards Hatsune Miku.

"Tell me what happened?"

Hatsune Miku got up, brushed the cookie crumbs off her clothes, and responded softly with her waving fingers.

"Forgot what I said? Five God King-tier: Keisha, Odin, Kyle, Dihong Kun, and one more. Who do you think it is?"

Kevin pondered for a moment, then followed Hatsune Miku's gaze to his feet, and suddenly a possibility occurred to him.

"Earth Mother Goddess Gaia!"

Hatsune Miku nodded in satisfaction before slowly explaining the reason.

"The Honkai you are facing is only one manifestation of the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, not the whole picture. If she weren't powerful enough, how could she maintain her autonomy after so many civilizations have left their mark?"

"To put it simply, [gods] are actually divided into two categories: Nature God and Human God..."

"When civilization is still in its infancy, intelligent beings are filled with awe and faith in nature. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, mountains, and rivers are all carriers of [God], all manifestations of [God]. They are actually worshipping the life force of the planet itself..."

"As intelligent beings gradually establish complete social structures and their civilization develops, their demands on and conquest of nature will lead to a rift between Nature God and intelligent civilization..."

"Therefore, later deities were gradually given functions such as craftsmanship, metallurgy, warfare, and art by intelligent races, serving the advancement of civilization..."

"As the rift widens, intelligent beings and the Nature God, represented by the Planet Will, will inevitably clash, until one side gains dominance..."

"In this contest, if the Honkai unleashed by the Nature God destroys Human Civilization, then humanity will inevitably have to start afresh..."

"If intelligent beings pass the test, they will enter God-Making Era! Using technology and existing resources, they will create Human God who represent the direction of their civilization's evolution!"

Based on his understanding of the members of the Super God Academy, Kevin gradually began to understand.

"Therefore, Ge Xiaolun, Du Qiangwei, and other products of the Deno Galaxy's God Creation Project may seem weak now, but they possess unlimited potential for development, meaning they could become gods in the future!"

"As long as enough resources are accumulated, the Super Gene within them can be quickly awakened, and they will basically not face the Heavenly Tribulation of Honkai, because they have already conquered the Will of Nature of this planet?"

Hatsune Miku nodded slightly, then pointed to the ground, her expression somewhat melancholic.

"But there are always exceptions. Due to the intertwining of multiple civilizations and the special location of the Chiwu Star System, Earth's Will of Nature has become unprecedentedly powerful after successively destroying five Civilization Era!"

"The Earth Mother Goddess Gaia has become the only Nature God who has never been conquered by intelligent beings! She has even begun to systematically herd Human Civilization using the Honkai calamities and the Herrscher."

"Therefore, on this This Planet, she was able to give birth to supernatural individuals who evaded the filter, such as the Ancient One, you, Fu Hua, and the guardians of the Dayart Civilization..."

"As a product of Human Collective Consciousness, I have dispatched agents to different stages of Human Civilization more than once, but without exception, they have all failed..."

"The result of interfering with the process of civilization is that the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia continuously merges the factors that destroy Human Civilization, becoming stronger and stronger. The Discarded Elements formed after the intervention of the agents are extracted by her and rejected outside the World Barrier."

"Abyssal City, do you remember it?"

Kevin's expression froze, his face showing surprise.

"You mean the World Bubble in the Quantum Sea are all your 'scrap drafts' for saving Human Civilization?"

Hatsune Miku shrugged and nodded, her expression somewhat wistful and somber.

"I used to think that humanity had no future, but then you appeared and brought a turning point to this world!"
