In fact, what happened within the Systems Alliance was not an isolated incident.
It wasn't just the Systems Alliance. Just after Rumiere detected the signal strengthening, UNSC and the Trade Federation each sent emergency reports as well. The contents were basically identical: AI rebellions, with large numbers of artificial intelligences self-destructing or malfunctioning.
UNSC was hit the hardest. By comparison, the Trade Federation suffered relatively light damage. For one thing, the Terminator Planet in the Alliance had long since suffered enough at the hands of rebellious AI and firmly refused to let artificial intelligence gain a foothold in its world. The AI in the Demon World wasn't advanced enough yet, either. Only the High Tower Council reported that those VEX seemed to be going insane... Well, at least the Guardians hadn't been affected.
The situation was extremely serious.
Duanmu Huai's expression was solemn as well. This was only the region of space he had visited. In fact, compared to these highly advanced technological regions, magical civilizations like Faerûn were instead unaffected.
After all... What the hell is AI?
He had never heard of it.
As for golems? Golems didn't have AI in the first place. They weren't receiving signals, either. Magical creations like that basically didn't care about scientific laws. So unless they followed the path of magitech, magical automatons were very difficult to invade or alter.

Technological disasters could hardly affect magic, but magical disasters, in turn, could easily cause even greater destruction in technological worlds.
Take this mysterious signal, for example. You needed at least the technological level to receive interstellar signals, and such technology generally didn't exist in magical worlds. Conversely,
