Chapter 48: Omnic Crisis, Rectification Agreement!
The triangular civilization warrior that looked like a dolphin shook his body slightly.

"The Styx...hiss...belongs to...the Shenhe civilization..."

"No no no."

Shi Shi shook his head. "There is no Shenhe civilization, nor is there any Triangle civilization. We, you, and I are just one kind of civilization."

"..."

Shi Shi continued, "What you call a physical war, the so-called beast body, Shenhe body, and triangle body, in our view, are just a part of the universe. Fighting for the so-called orthodoxy... is ridiculous."

The triangular warrior trembled slightly. "You... the Styx civilization... are denying... hissing... our... ideas..."

"That's not what I meant." Shi Shi said coldly, "It's just that if you insist on engaging in a physical war, then we can provide you with assistance."

"...Assistance?"

"Yes, a helper who can only benefit your Triangle civilization."

……

Waves are brewing.

At the same time, the huge mechanical empire was still being played on the light screen.

The intelligent beings went from being confused at first, to being surprised, and then gradually starting to think about it.

Are machines really the final destination of intelligent life?

A stronger body, immortal life, unlimited learning ability.

Mechanical planets rose from the ground almost flat, and huge ships emerged one after another.

This mechanical empire has grown to a very large scale. They control several galaxies. They even begin to look down on organic beings, capturing them and transforming them into mechanical beings, and granting them citizenship.

Until...one day.

A galaxy.

That mechanical planet is full of intelligent mechanical bodies.

This was originally a planet used to produce alloys and minerals, and all the intelligent robots were performing repetitive and boring labor.

But something seems different today.

"Om - hum -"

A very faint but extremely clear buzzing sound continued to be heard, and as a result, the actions of those intelligent robots became strange.

From time to time they stopped in place, raised their heads and stared at the sky, but no one knew what they were looking at.

Of course, the mechanical empire immediately noticed this anomaly and began to investigate.

"We detected a very weak tachyon signal being sent throughout the galaxy."

"This signal... is very strange. With our technology, we are unable to trace its source and analyze it. We call it a 'ghost signal'."

"Except for a slight background noise caused by superluminal communications in certain sub-space frequency bands, this signal does not seem to cause any significant impact. Our research has made no progress. Before we can thoroughly analyze it, we must first learn to live with this ghost signal."

"The intensity of the ghost signal is increasing at an alarming rate."

"Things seem to be getting a little strange. In certain galaxies, our intelligent machines seem to be affected by some inexplicable influence. This influence has caused their behavior to change, and they are evolving in a worse direction."

"We can't rule out the possibility that ghost signals are responsible, but it's a strong possibility. Even so, we still can't figure out what role ghost signals play."

"We have finally made some breakthroughs in the analysis and research of ghost signals."

"We found that ghost signals can not only send energy patterns similar to those of our omnics' electronic brains, but can also interfere with their control modules in this way, causing abnormal behavior of the organisms."

"The ghost signals are growing stronger and stronger. We are unable to block them, but some factions have begun to claim that these ghost signals are..."

"oracle."

"It's ridiculous. We don't believe in oracles. They are the spiritual comfort chosen by organisms for unattainable goals." "We seem to have finally found the source, and can explore this ghost signal at a deeper level. Perhaps it has always existed in the universe, but we have ignored it..."

"More intelligent machines are mutating, and this mutation is infecting the entire mechanical empire. We need to speed up our research."

"Zi-Zi-"

At this moment, the light curtain began to distort, and the huge buzzing sound made everyone subconsciously cover their ears.

When they raised their heads again, they gasped!
The picture on the light curtain seems too weird!
In the originally huge and empty square.

Billions of intelligent machines knelt on the ground, their two mechanical arms raised, their expressions extremely pious...

Looks like he's praying?

This is so weird!

Prayer is praying to God. Why would an intelligent civilization that only believes in its own technological level start praying on such a large scale?

The most creepy thing is.

That symbolizes the throne of the supreme ruler of this mechanical empire.

At this moment, it is empty.

The emperor who ruled the entire mechanical empire was kneeling with his billions of subjects.

The difference is that this emperor is kneeling in front of the throne with his hands open, as if he is praying or hugging.

However, it looks more like it is welcoming the real owner of the throne.

Its expression was solemn, and the surface of its body reflected a cold light.

Then it opened its mouth.

"The oracle has arrived."

oracle?

Just when everyone was still not understanding what had changed.

The entire galaxy was suddenly shrouded in a red light!

hum - hum - hum -

The buzzing sound, called the phantom signal, became more and more intense.

Even the intelligent beings watching had the illusion that the sound affected the galaxy itself.

Wherever the eyes went, they were all dyed dark red.

And, in this galaxy.

Above that huge and extremely hot star.

A planet made entirely of machines suddenly appeared!
The size of that planet is even larger than this star, and it has a huge heart embedded in it. The dark red light that fills the entire galaxy comes from this heart.

Data streams continue to flow from the surface of the mechanical planet.

It seems... that some kind of calculation is being done.

<<Unlock all features...>>
<<Warning! Warning! Corruption has reached a catastrophic level in this star region. A large number of organic and disobedient mechanical civilizations have been detected, causing infection>>
<<Simulating scenario>>
<<Scheme simulation completed, confirmed, execute the scheme>>
<<Purify the Universe>>
<<The rectification agreement has come into effect>>
<<Goal: Eliminate all organisms and clean up the disobedient mechanical civilization>>
The emperor of the Mechanical Empire knelt down for a long time and could not get up.

It once ruled as the emperor of the entire mechanical empire.

At this moment, all that is left is endless piety and fanaticism.

"Obey the oracle."
