The Doom of Organic Civilization

As soon as the words fell.

Behind that Emperor, countless Mechatrons slowly ascended into the sky.

Everything on this planet, no, the entire Mechanical Empire spanning several Star Systems, all the Mechatrons on every colonized planet, were experiencing the same thing.

Their hands detached from their bodies, followed by their feet, then their heads, and finally their bodies shattered into pieces, even the massive facilities beneath their feet.

All mechanical structures were irreversibly disassembling, then rising into the sky.

Then, converging.

The scene was like reversing a video of a shattered piece of glass.

Their bodies began to converge, their shapes constantly changing.

Finally, those aggregated blocks transformed into an absurdly shaped, incredibly massive starship.

A starship composed of several planets and countless Mechatrons.

Just how massive was its size?

Larger than a star!

"What... what is that?"

"Didn't it say? It's called the Purification Protocol!"

"Nonsense, do you think I'm blind? The question is, this Purification Protocol... it turned an entire Mechanical Empire civilization into a starship??"

"And a starship of unimaginable size! Good heavens, can a warship really be that big?"

A warship itself was even larger than the largest celestial structure they had ever seen!

It wasn't even accurate to describe it as a ship; it was a mechanical star!

There were a total of six such mechanical stars!

"So cruel... so terrifying..."

"Cruel?"

"Of course! Don't you think about what those things are made of? Mechatrons! Life! If you convert it to a more familiar organic civilization, that starship is pieced together from chunks of flesh and blood..."

"Ugh! Stop talking!"

Perhaps because those people were all Mechatrons, their feelings weren't clear, but converting it to organic lifeforms...

That scene...

Was too horrifying!

And, the most terrifying thing was their purpose.

To cleanse the universe!

To eradicate all organic lifeforms and mechanical civilizations!

"This Purification Protocol... is a calamity!"

At this point, intelligent lifeforms finally understood what this cosmic crisis was.

This Purification Protocol of unknown origin controlled a Mechanical Empire, turning an entire Mechanical Empire into several enormous starships.

And its ultimate goal was to destroy the entire universe.

At the same time.

After the arrival of the Purification Protocol, all civilizations in the universe were affected to varying degrees.

The first to bear the brunt were the Mechatron Empires that believed in machinery.

Within their territories, hundreds of millions of Mechatrons malfunctioned, engaging in something akin to a collective strike, or even a complete shutdown of the entire Mechatron.

And those organic life civilizations were no better off, with robots used in industry, agriculture, and mining malfunctioning.

Computers were infected with incomprehensible and unresolvable viruses, meaning that all assembly lines and intelligent control systems had problems.

In short, all electronic instruments were affected.

An invisible Tachyon Storm swept through the entire universe.

Solar System, Blue Star.

"It can even affect the entire Star System? How is this even possible?"

Angel Zhi Xin's pupils flickered with disbelief, "This is... the power of the Purification Protocol?"

"I... I'm a little confused."

Ge Xiaolun scratched his head, "I just feel like those starships are very impressive, but they haven't even started fighting yet, maybe those starships are just lumps of iron and can't take a beating!"

"This isn't just about a few starships." Zhi Xin patiently explained to Ge Xiaolun, "Admittedly, the size of those starships is a bit beyond my imagination, but what shocks me the most isn't this."

"Not this? Oh... it's those robots malfunctioning."

Ge Xiaolun reacted, "This... is it a big deal?"

"A big deal!"

Zhi Xin took a deep breath, "You can call them robots, AI, whatever you want, but in essence, they are all the same thing, which is computers."

"Even in your North Star, computers have long been deeply integrated into all aspects of life. The mobile phones, watches, driving tools you use, and even the traffic lights on the street are all controlled by computers."

"If, in this instant, all the traffic lights in the world were to go out of control, what kind of consequences would that cause?"

Ge Xiaolun was a little surprised, "It can actually do such a thing?"

"This is just child's play." Zhi Xin frowned, "What if its target is the fire control system?"

"With just a flick of a finger, warships, and the giant cannons on the warships, swarm Missiles, Fighter Jets, can't even be launched. What are you going to fight with? Slingshots and crossbows? Or pistols and rifles?"

At a deeper level.

What if the Purification Protocol had the ability to control the Big Clock?

Zhi Xin didn't even dare to think further.

Ge Xiaolun was a pure liberal arts student, and his only uses for computers were playing games and browsing forums. Even if Zhi Xin explained it to him, Ge Xiaolun still only had a vague concept.

But soon, he would fully understand what Zhi Xin had just said.

On the light screen.

The starships began to move almost non-stop.

Their destination was precisely those Star Systems and planets with life.

When a starship arrived at this Star System, the many ships within the Star System immediately set off.

"Unknown ship, state your affiliation and purpose!"

The leading fleet commander frowned, "You have already violated our civilization's Star System!"

"Commander! Our fleet control system has suddenly malfunctioned!"

"What!?"

The commander's eyes widened, and he immediately realized something.

"Fire! Fire quickly!"

This starship was the enemy!

However, even though the commander was extremely anxious, not a single ship moved at all.

"What are you doing? Fire! That's the enemy!"

"Commander... we... we can't control our weapon systems!"

"What!?"

Immediately afterward, several ships in the fleet actually turned around on their own, aiming their main guns at each other.

<<Organic civilization, destruction>>

This phrase was repeatedly displayed on all the screens inside all the ships in the fleet.

Destruction...

"Not good!"

This was the only thought that surfaced in the fleet commander's mind.

And what awaited him was indeed what was displayed on the screen.

The next second, the ship he was on was blasted into smithereens by the main gun of another ship!

Destruction!

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

After a round of salvo.

The entire fleet was annihilated!
