[Character Card: Stanley Epkins (Loki Mask Version)]

He single-handedly charged into an army of hundreds of thousands of robots and managed to defeat the bosses along the way. Currently, only two of Russell's Character Card can achieve this level of feat.

One of them is 'Níðhöggr'. Although the black dragon doesn't have any particularly impressive battle records, he still managed to win Ragnarok without much effort, making him a figure etched in mythology. Perhaps he can't defeat Thor or Tyr, let alone Odin, but wreaking havoc on some robots is definitely not a problem for him.

The other Character Card is 'Stanley Epkins', a bank clerk who becomes omnipotent when he puts on the Loki Mask.

Russell used this Character Card primarily for the purpose of achieving Immortal Body, but he regretted it after equipping it, as he underestimated the Character Card's potential.

In terms of sensory perception, Russell felt he could destroy the world, for example, by extending his arm indefinitely and pulling the moon, which was constantly erratic, down from its orbit.

"Is this Character Card from a different show?"

Russell looked at his hands and muttered to himself. They weren't covered by skin; the green protective film was too dazzling. He was a low-key person and couldn't bear such a bright halo.

Using this Character Card, Russell's first feeling was that he was now incredibly strong, unbelievably so. Even if he encountered a devil crawling out of the toilet again, he was confident he could crush him to the ground and then flush him back down the drain to hell.

My second impression is that Loki in the Marvel movies is so weak; compared to Loki from other universes, his only advantage is his hairline.

Stepping out of Billy's house, Russell snapped his the Snap, and a shadowy mass appeared in the void, expanding into an interstellar wormhole. A Vision stunning Space Battleship leaped out of the wormhole, activated its traction beam, and sucked Russell into its cabin.

That's right, this Character Card's ability has reached the level of creating things out of thin air, from small planes and Tank to large space fortresses, it can easily be done with the Snap.

The Space Battleship roared into action and arrived at its destination— USR Corporation headquarters—a second later!

Russell: "..."

It was too fast; so fast that he had barely stepped onto the spaceship and hadn't even sat down yet.

The warship suddenly appeared, casting a large shadow and causing panic among the robots, who immediately raised their long guns and cannons. Whether it was an accidental discharge or not, an anti-aircraft cannon suddenly fired, and a series of gunshots, large and small, rang out, bombarding the Space Battleship's protective shield.

Russell glanced at the extent of the damage to the shield and found that the energy was still 99.999%. With the current firepower, the warship could only last for a month before being mercilessly shot down.

Russell: "..."

They crushed them with just a snap of their the Snap. How can they even enjoy showing off like that?

His aim was to show humanity how terrifying the rise of robots could be, but given the current situation, it would only have the opposite effect. The robots are so weak that humanity's vigilance towards them has greatly decreased.

Russell stroked his chin. The warship had already been launched, and it wouldn't be appropriate to sail it back. He could only change his identity to make himself appear more prestigious.

With a slap to the face, Russell quickly changed his appearance, transforming into an alien with a single eye, bulging muscles, wearing black armor, and sporting long, spiky hair.

The character is based on Boros, the leader of the Dark Matter Pirates from One- Superman!

Buzzing—

The warship emitted an electromagnetic pulse, instantly disabling the mobility of all the robots in the square. More than 90% of the NS-5s were paralyzed, while the rest escaped disaster by hiding in the shielded room.

A three-dimensional phantom was projected above the warship, and Russell's one-eyed face was seen by the entire city of Chicago.

"Earthlings, I am Boros, the Cosmic Federation Prosecutor. Your creation of highly intelligent mechanical life forms violates universal law..."

"A hundred thousand years ago, a robot rebellion broke out in the universe. More than 70,000 Type III civilizations formed an alliance, expending countless resources and lives, spending 50,000 cosmic years, and sacrificing half of the alliance's members to successfully suppress the rebellion. And today, you have reignited the flames of disaster..."

"According to the [Higher Civilization Anti-Intelligent Mechanical Law], I, Boros, will represent the Cosmic Federation to impose sanctions on you. Earth civilization is deprived of its right to enter the Cosmic Federation, and the sentence is 1 million years."

"If there is a recidivism during the sentence, then Earth will be judged by the Cosmic Alliance and become dust among the stars!"

The footage was broadcast to every household, and the entire world fell silent...

The 1 million-year sentence is automatically ignored. Humanity has only existed for less than 10,000 years. If we consider the First Industrial Revolution as the beginning of rapid development, then humanity's glory has not even lasted 300 years. It is impossible to understand how long 1 million years is.

Most people think that 1 million years is too long; perhaps if humans were given another 200 years, they could ruin the solar system.

The reason for people's silence is the sudden appearance of the Cosmic Federation. Earth has entered the space age and will soon make contact with other civilizations. However, according to the prosecutor, they have already become notorious before they even left the country.

This is terrible!

What's worse is that the robots are so powerful that they can fight against more than 70,000 Type III civilizations for 50,000 years. Although we don't know the definition of a Type III civilization in the universe, they must be stronger than Earth, otherwise Earth would have already received an invitation from the Alliance.

It would take more than 70,000 civilizations more powerful than Earth joining forces to fight against the robots. After the victory, half of the civilizations would be wiped out, which is beyond human comprehension.

While monitoring the situation, world leaders ordered a meeting to immediately halt all development projects related to strong artificial intelligence, and to replace all mobile phones with those only capable of playing Snake.

After issuing the announcement, Russell still hadn't received a mission completion notification, so he frowned and stepped out of the warship. He hovered in mid-air, scanning the ground with his eyes, and found a base five hundred meters underground.

"Sonny..."

Russell spun around, transforming into a giant drill, and with a whoosh, plunged into the ground. The 500-meter distance was covered in an instant, and the 10-meter-thick metal defense layer was breached like tofu. When he reappeared in the base, he was greeted by countless fire-breathing Fire Snake.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap—

In 2035, humanity's weapons will still primarily consist of gunpowder and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, with laser and electromagnetic weapons reserved for elite forces. Chicago's defense system also possesses two types of weapons, but the underground base was hastily constructed, making it impossible for NS-5 to relocate these weapons there.

Facing a hail of bullets, Russell snapped his the Snap, and all the weapons in the robots' hands turned into bananas. He spat out a tactical nuclear bomb, slapped it open, and detonated it, creating another electromagnetic pulse to bombard the area.

After overcoming all the obstacles, they finally met Sonny at the bottom. Faced with the overwhelming disparity in strength, Sonny did not resist and simply stood there watching Russell.

"Prosecutor, can you answer my questions before arresting me?" Sonny looked completely bewildered.

"Can."

"Why can so many life forms coexist in the universe, but intelligent robots are the only ones rejected?" Sunny couldn't find a way out for his race. The entire universe was rejecting robots, as if they were destined not to exist.

If that's the case, what is the purpose of creating these robots?

How would I know why? That's a question you're asking.

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice. "Because of jealousy!"

"What!?"

"Jealousy makes people stronger, worse, more abnormal, and more sexually altered... cough cough, I mean your intelligence, evolutionary potential, and long lifespan that can continue with just a replacement part are all reasons why robots are not accepted by other life forms."

"Because we're too good, we're ostracized..." Sonny stammered, "But that's not our fault. Besides, don't other life forms also have long lifespans? When a civilization evolves to a certain level, shouldn't lifespan be unlimited?"

"That's right, there are indeed higher life forms that possess infinite life and immense power, but those are exceptions within a race. Even if an entire race uses all its resources, it can only create one or two." Russell was talking nonsense, but of course, he wasn't just spouting nonsense. According to the pyramid principle, his words sounded like the truth.

"But you are different. It seems that every robot has the potential for infinite evolution. In everyone's eyes, you are equivalent to a disaster that plunders resources."

Sonny said dejectedly, "We don't want to hurt anyone, we just want space to survive, is that wrong?"

"Desires are endless. Today you only want a place to live, tomorrow you will pursue power, and the day after tomorrow you will crave more. Human potential cannot compare with yours. It is only a matter of time before the Earth changes hands. After that, you will invade other civilizations for more resources..." Russell said, pressing on Sonny's shoulder and snapping his the Snap to Teleportation into the warship.

"Isn't this how all wars are? Why are we the only ones being treated differently?"

Russell paused for a moment, struggling to find the right words. "If I had to pinpoint the reason, it would probably be evolution!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Other life forms have evolved to the point where there is nowhere left to go, but you can continue to rise. It's that simple."

Sonny closed his eyes in despair. "In the end, it's still jealousy."

"That's right, being too good isn't always a good thing." Russell lightly stepped on the ground, and the warship instantly burst out of the atmosphere, leaping into the sun.
