The Corporate Wars Throughout the Ages

"Ms. Ye, we have highlighted the process and outcomes of previous corporate battles, as well as the special figures you mentioned who might appear around this time. Would you like to discuss them further?"

"Let's take it apart and see."

Ms. Ye rubbed the little bear's face and said excitedly.

As the voice of artificial intelligence rang out again, countless holographic projections of data popped up and unfolded according to the timeline.

The reflection from the projection shone into her pupils, covering her eyes with confidential text.

As one of the super-corporations, the Saint Brain Group naturally retains a large amount of information about corporate warfare, but few people would connect it with certain things.

Now that we've made the connection, some vague clues do indeed lead to certain 'truths about the world'!

The first corporate war, the "Virtual World," began five years after the end of the civilized era. This marked the beginning of the cyber age, with widespread adoption of emulation devices and the initialization of cyberspace.

Less than a year after the 'Virtual World' ended, the terrorist organization 'The Knights' was established. The founder of the 'Knights' was the ancient planetary mainframe 'War,' but how 'War' awakened remains unknown. Logically, it should have been destroyed in the Second Mechanical War.

"The Second Corporate War: The Key to Transformation – Human Modification Technology Becomes Widespread."

The Third Corporate War, "Simulated Totem," is a secondary development of human simulation technology based on human body modification technology. Virtual senses begin to interfere with the human body, causing numerous virtual diseases. At the same time, a large number of street religions began to spread using virtual viruses and totems, becoming rampant and devastating.

"'Religious virus,' I don't think I've ever heard of one that's particularly powerful," Ms. Ye said, stroking her chin and flicking her finger. A list of street religions popped up, with the first one being "Turing Church," which listed its three branches and its specialty, "Religious Virus Language," a method that can convert speech into data viruses and modify other people's brains.

"Child's play."

Ms. Ye shook her head, flicked her finger, and sent the holographic image away. As the person in the world who possessed the most electronic brains, she was qualified to say that.

"The Fourth Corporate War: The Undying Tide in the Clouds"—a technological evolution driven by the old fogies of the previous era in their desperate struggle for survival.

"The Fifth Corporate War, 'Rain of Light,' represents the widespread adoption of energy weapon technology... We've found it!"

Ms. Ye suddenly came across a rumor from that period.

Rumor has it that after the "Rain of Light" ended, many data nodes in cyberspace were shrouded in purple light, and unusual energy fluctuations appeared on many hardware devices.

"Rumors suggest this is a large-scale energy accident."

No one knows the cause.

There are many speculations, even doomsday rumors.

Ms. Ye's eyes shone even brighter.

The purple light's performance was almost identical to the abilities displayed by Mr. G.

"Interesting, very interesting! So, what they're saying is true: all corporate wars are ultimately about creating something."

"The seventh, eighth, and ninth corporate wars marked the rise of androids, and with them, android rebel armies also rose to prominence. That Mr. A seems to have been born into a certain android mega-corporation... Wait, the contents of this document aren't even classified information."

The Ninth Corporate War, "Hydramo".

"The Tenth Corporate War, 'Biological Weapon Unit One,' marks the rise of bio-corporations, including the Holy Brain Group. Unit One? What the hell is that?!"

"The eleventh time..."

"The twelfth time..."

Less than three minutes had passed after all the holographic projections were turned off.

With her current mental capacity, she could easily devour this terrifying amount of data.

Pushing open the door, one sees Xiao Yu staring intently at a bird with a serious expression, continuing to stare until the bird flaps its wings and flies away, before nodding in satisfaction.

"What are you doing?" Ms. Ye asked speechlessly.

"To protect your safety and prevent any suspicious persons from getting close," Xiao Yu said with a blank expression.

"..."

Ms. Ye was speechless for a moment, then walked straight ahead. Xiao Yu followed behind her with a cheerful smile, clenching her little fist towards the sky.

"Can you feel it, Little Leaf? Another great adventure awaits us!!"

"We're not going on a risk."

"Oh, isn't that right?"

"No, it's not."

"You're lying!"

The two girls bickered as they found the senior engineer.

Opposite the senior engineer, five "Ms. Ye" stood in place, their expressions lifelike.

Upon seeing this, the real Ms. Ye couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye.

"With top-tier android technology, combined with my and his biological abilities, there are fewer than three people on this planet who can distinguish between real and fake humans."

Black Rose said without turning her head, "With these few people, we should be able to hold out until you come back."

Wow, so many little leaves!

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and she wanted to go up and make a move, but was then dragged away by "Ms. Ye" by the back of her collar.

"Don't watch things that are unsuitable for children."

At this moment, the senior engineer, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them. Suddenly, tens of thousands of pupils appeared in Ms. Ye's eyes, allowing her vision to pierce through reality and reach the virtual realm.

She could vaguely see a data chain disappearing into the sky. When she tried to dispel the fog and leave a mark on the other party, the owner of the data chain seemed to sense something, directly decomposed into countless digital symbols, and then disappeared.

The action was so fast that she didn't even have time to make a move.

Could it be a hacker?

"Are you ready?"

Faced with the senior engineer's smiling expression, Ms. Ye nodded calmly.

For some reason, Ms. Ye suddenly felt disgusted by the other person's hypocritical expression and wanted to slap him across the face.

"Let's go then."

Next, the Purple String Space opened up, enveloping the four people, and they instantly disappeared from the spot.

Unlike previous time travel experiences, this time the senior engineer began to carefully understand the operating rules.

"This ability of 'locational teleportation' is somewhat similar to a stargate, both drawing spatial energy for one's own use."

"However, 'stargates,' being advanced space technology, can be freely erected between star systems; large stargates can even teleport planets. In contrast, with the Purple String Space alone, even a single sector-level teleportation, such as between the Machine Rift Star and the nearest planet, would consume enough energy to literally drain oneself to death."

Therefore, in a sense, sealing the ability of "teleportation" inside this planet is actually a form of protection.

As the senior engineer pondered, a flash of light appeared, and the four of them found themselves on a blood-stained continent.

Ms. Ye frowned immediately, because firstly, she sensed an abnormally strong energy fluctuation, and secondly, she did not sense the presence of any living people on this continent.

Not at all.

"Where am I?"

"The Continent of Oddi".

"A primeval land?"

In ancient times, or rather, in the age of civilization, there were three major regimes on this planet—

Empire, Federation, Union

But actually, they do have names.

Great Xia Empire, Northern Federation, and Odick Union

Among them, the Empire follows the path of cyborgization, using military might and mechanical armies to sweep away everything.

The Northern Federation, on the other hand, resembles a prototype of the cyberpunk era, where society is ruled by mega-corporations, senators are merely spokespeople for these corporations, and pharmaceutical technology is highly advanced.

The Oddiq Union is a union of small countries. Among the three major powers, it has the largest territory but the weakest strength.

Then, the stubborn Great Xia Empire was wiped out by the alien civilization, along with the entire continent, leaving not even a trace.

The super-corporations of the Northern Federation also abandoned the concept of "nation" at the first opportunity and chose to guide the alien invaders, becoming the first seeds of the cyber era.

The situation in Odick is much more complicated. Because of the numerous small countries, all kinds of regimes exist. Compared to the empires that simply disappeared and the locations of the unions that were transformed into "fortresses," the continent of Odick has become one of the most dangerous areas on the planet.

The only 'primitive land'.

The reason is simple.

Of all the things that were destroyed by nuclear explosions around the world, none were destroyed.

And the organisms marked as dangerous by the Mother City during the first wave of global radiation.

In addition, there are bizarre monsters that have evolved locally.

And in the cyber era, in order to protect the replication and evolution of "artificial data", some things that must be eliminated were born one after another.

So all sorts of dangerous and miscellaneous items were driven to this place.

This is the most dangerous place on the entire planet, and it is also the hideout of the "Black Emperor of the End".
