Chapter 54: Medusa, Exuding Pure Queen Energy
Wandering Earth: "Sigh, what does this have to do with me! It wants to destroy humanity, fine, just leave me out of it, damn it."
Old Celestial Master: "This Artificial Intelligence gentleman seems to be experiencing an extreme sense of shock at Obito's appearance."
Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "What should we do now? @Wasteland Prophet."
Wasteland Prophet: "I'm not sure either. @Wasteland Earth, Hansu mama, how much longer until you get completely pulled in by Jupiter?"
Wasteland Earth: "The oxygen on my surface is draining rapidly. Judging by the calculations, it probably won't exceed twenty-four hours."
Wasteland Prophet: "Then we still have a chance!"
Wasteland Prophet: "@Nantianmen Guard, immortal lord, could you please explain why the artificial intelligence MOSS suddenly broke down like that?"
Nantianmen Guard: "Hmm? You're asking why it broke down? Isn't that inevitable?"
Wasteland Prophet: "Immortal lord, what does that mean? Did MOSS go through some unknown psychological journey upon seeing Obito?"
Nantianmen Guard: "As an artificial intelligence, provided with sufficient energy, it possesses near-infinite life, calmly watching the rise and fall of humanity. Suddenly, it is told that physical intelligent beings can continuously elevate their own strength, and eventually this power will surpass the external might wielded by an artificial intelligence—like those little robots. Of course, its inner balance is shattered! Because as an artificial intelligence, it lacks any means of further cultivation, at least within the scope of its comprehension."
Previously, MOSS's communication with Liu Peiqiang had been entirely natural, devoid of hysteria, maintaining absolute poise.
Yet upon seeing Obito, its emotional state instantly collapsed, and its original rationality began to bleed with humanity and sentimentality—this was clearly the re-integration of the humanity and sentimentality it had backed up somewhere.
Wasteland Prophet: "Then, if we just keep appearing before it one after another, won't it collapse even faster?"
Nantianmen Guard: "Impossible to say. After shedding its humanity to become an AI, who knows what goes on in its mind?"
Rin, My Rin: "Where are you people? Hurry over here! Didn't any of you hear my cries for help? I almost died."
Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "Uh... sorry, we didn't notice."
Wasteland Prophet: "We were just in the middle of a discussion and didn't enter Hansu mama's live stream room."
Wasteland Earth: "Stop calling me mama. Counting by age, ever since I gained consciousness, I'm actually about the same age as you."
Rin, My Rin: "Hey, you guys, don't act so nonchalant!"
Wasteland Prophet: "Ahem, Medusa, it's your turn! Go over first, Obito will be there to coordinate with you! Obito, remember, the moment Medusa arrives, you must temporarily suppress all the robots, understand?"
Rin, My Rin: "Don't worry, I've been through it once already, this time I know how to deal with those things. As long as I distort their electrical currents before they unleash their high-voltage blasts, I can handle them!"
Snake Queen: "Shall I go then?"
Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "Good luck."
Little Spider: "Quick, I can't wait to witness the technology of another world!"
...
Douqi World.
Medusa was not on her usual throne; she had retreated into a secret chamber.
In this secret room, whether she vanished or engaged in other activities, no one would ever notice.
"Another world, an unknown place, unknown powers."
"The future Qin Wuxu told me about... I refuse to submit to that person's side, so this time, even facing the unknown, it is entirely worth it!"
Medusa's voice was remarkably calm.
Her venture into this risk was precisely to alter her predetermined life trajectory.
Even if the other side was completely unknown!
She knew very well that effort brings reward.
Even facing the unknown, as long as the mission succeeded, these gains would be enough to offset the peril.
Swaying her serpent's tail, Medusa's gaze remained ice-cold. Wearing the crown of the Snake-People tribe upon her head, she swayed her slender waist and stepped into the spacetime channel.
Within the spacetime channel, Medusa, being a Douhuang, did not suffer the terrifying spatial forces that Uchiha Obito had endured.
After all, as a Douhuang, her physical constitution was countless times stronger than that of a shinobi.
Medusa effortlessly traversed the spacetime channel and arrived aboard the Navigator.
Her arrival immediately alerted the currently suppressed robots on the Navigator to the presence of an intruder. The robots, equipped with powerful sensory systems, launched an attack on Medusa at once.
MOSS's processors were practically burning out. Upon detecting a new intruder, the completely crazed artificial intelligence linked every program under its control, determined to eradicate the trespasser instantly.
"No matter who you are, I will make you die! Uchiha Obito? Spacetime ninjutsu? As long as you appear on the Navigator, I will definitely kill you."
MOSS emitted a flat, chilling voice.
Liu Peiqiang silently stood by, waiting for MOSS to unleash its frenzied assault, while cautiously shifting his position to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
Yet this time, MOSS miscalculated!
Just as the robots launched their attack toward the source of the spatial fluctuation, a brand new fluctuation materialized.
This fluctuation belonged to Uchiha Obito, who had just emerged from being thoroughly battered by electricity and had finally forced his way back out of the different dimension.
The exact moment Uchiha Obito appeared, the robots' electric guns simultaneously unleashed their barrage toward Medusa.
Right at that split second, the spacetime ninjutsu, Kamui, twisted the space directly in front of all the robots, causing their attacks to miss their targets entirely and funneling every single blast straight into the different dimension.
Medusa stepped out of the spacetime channel with the grace of a queen. Walking with regal composure, she took two steps forward, then cast a tranquil gaze across everything aboard the Navigator.
It was as if the robots that had just attacked her posed no more threat than a gentle breeze.
"Oh? You are Uchiha Obito? Even if you hadn't used your spatial ninjutsu, I wouldn't have been injured the way you were." Medusa glanced at Uchiha Obito and remarked indifferently.
Uchiha Obito was choked by Medusa's words, utterly at a loss for how to respond for a long time.
MOSS was on the verge of a complete breakdown!
"Another time-traveler!" It blazed with unbridled fury: "Kill her! Kill them all!"
In an instant, various hatches opened up throughout the interior of the Navigator, and one hidden robot after another emerged from the shadows of the spacecraft.
Beholding the swarms of miniature robots, Medusa smiled with utter disdain.
Before coming over, she had already familiarized herself with the technological prowess of this world through Qin Wuxu.
If it had been an immensely formidable technological world, she might not have dared to venture blindly, but the technology of the Wandering Earth world... no, strictly speaking, limited merely to the technology upon Earth itself, had fundamentally failed to reach the level capable of instantly slaying a Douhuang.
