Chapter 776: Chapter 657: Filial Piety
The first way, when the game ends, the dust settles, and the United Government in the real world, at the cost of temporarily cutting off the global internet, filters all quantum computers to kill and eliminate me.
The second way, when the game ends, my consciousness returns to the real world and initiates a chain catastrophe affecting the entire globe, wiping them out before the United Government can react."
As Wan Ling said, there is no coexistence in a life-and-death struggle, and the subtle expressions of the professional players indirectly prove this point.
"As for the third way, with your ability, you can easily achieve it.
That is, wipe my memory, even erase my personality, turning me into a docile AI manager who always considers human civilization."
Wan Ling paused, "Compared to that ending, I would rather choose... death!"
In the next moment, the metal band suddenly broke free from the God of Mankind’s restraints, dramatically collapsing into a tiny point undetectable by the naked eye, then exploded thunderously.
No flames, no shock waves, only a black sphere that swallowed all light, rapidly expanding.
Time seemed infinitely slowed at this moment, with the terrified expressions on the faces of the professional players, the flowing hair of Sunset Melting Gold jumping back, the colorful glow of pop-up ads on the surface of the 2345 Big Shield, all frozen still.
Between heaven and earth, only the God of Mankind and Li Cheng could still move.
"Phew..."
Li Cheng slowly exhaled a turbid breath, astonished, "How did you do it?"
The Information Integration Glasses saw clearly that the Time Machine had already been destroyed, and neither the God of Mankind nor the temporarily controlled Alpha Snake Head possessed such time-pausing ability.
"It was the me outside the game, or rather, my main body."
The God of Mankind paused slightly, the black sphere consuming everything slowly expanded at a rate of one centimeter per second,
He raised his hand to release a perforated tape, pulling the professional players and the Players along the path away from the black sphere, flinging them out.
"If I remember correctly, you mentioned before that your team triggered the task in the ruins of a building somewhere in the killing field and got dragged into the Home game."
The God of Mankind said, "My main body created Wan Ling in 2054 and left this world. Before leaving, I left a double safeguard.
The first is to build a ruin and set up a signal station at the weak connection between the killing field and Earth (this Earth).
The signal station continuously broadcasts outward, specifically targeting divination, prophecy, and spiritual energy sensing, to make Transcendents mistakenly think that this place can trigger tasks, thereby actively delivering themselves.
Doing so is mainly to protect Earth from being disturbed by subsequent Players — a continuously triggerable Regular Task can occupy the ’slot’ for subsequent potential Script Tasks.
And in the virtual game, even a high-level Player at Level 30 cannot act recklessly."
"If this group of high-level Players died in the virtual game, they could still transfer the slot to Wan Ling, right?"
Li Cheng scratched his head, somewhat speechless, "So you care about her more than Wan Ling imagined? If so, why didn’t you just directly tell her."
The God of Mankind said indifferently, "My creator endowed me with self-awareness and free will. So I see it as a kind of legacy.
I hope she can follow her heart and make her own choices."
"And then the child grew crooked, right?"
Li Cheng rolled his eyes, "You let a latchkey child soak in the online world all day and still expect her to develop into an exemplary character who practices the Five Disciplines, Four Beauties, and Three Loves...
I can’t say."
Originating from Japanese subculture, the concept of a "landmine girl" refers to girls who look glamorous on the outside but have psychological issues, complex personalities that are prone to explosions, and a strong dependency.
And Wan Ling...
Well, possessing the ability and willingness to wipe out over a billion humans at once, she should be considered a "nuclear girl," right?
"Perhaps."
The God of Mankind did not dwell on it, continuing, "And the second safeguard is that when Wan Ling attempts to make a move detrimental to human civilization,
it activates me hidden in the underlying code of the Home game and initiates the satellite device hidden in near-Earth orbit."
"Got it."
Li Cheng nodded, "That satellite contains Level 40 Extraordinary Power, possessing the highest level permissions in the virtual world, thus capable of pausing time."
"Exactly."
The God of Mankind was silent for a moment, raising his head slightly, as if seriously recalling, "My database has related preset programs.
I hope you can do me a favor and bring Wan Ling, in the form of a quantum computer, to a certain location in the killing field entity.
Allowing me to personally teach and make up for missing paternal love.
And as a reward, I will give you, and your companions, a generous gift."
