Chapter 1398 - The Church’s Attempt (1/2)

Seeing Manison deep in thought, Han Xiao smiled.

He was not lying. He had indeed used the Church’s National Treasure to advance, and it was effective. However, he did not intend to reveal the specific conditions of the ‘stabilizer’.

As for what Manison would do when he set his sights on the Arcane Church, Han Xiao did not care. After all, he had still not figured out what could replace the effect of the Church’s National Treasure. Therefore, the Church’s National Treasure was indeed the only choice at the moment, and he definitely was not inciting a fight on purpose. Han Xiao shrugged and interrupted Manison’s thoughts. “I can also give you a piece of advice. This is just one of the conditions. Don’t try to advance without absolute confidence.”

Manison regained his senses and nodded absent-mindedly.

Han Xiao did not say much and changed the topic.

“Alright, I’ve already told you the condition. It’s time for you to fulfill the deal.”

Hearing this, Manison calmed himself down and finally summoned the entire artificial intelligence civilization. He quickly removed the binding of the Indestructible Mechanical Troops and the main system. Just as he was about to modify the fundamental logic, he suddenly remembered that Han Xiao had Virtual Purification, so he stopped his action.

“The entire race is here. You can turn them back yourself. I won’t waste my energy.”

“You’re lazier than before.” Han Xiao shook his head and released Virtual Purification.

The ring of light spread out and quickly swept past the orderly rows of Indestructible Mechanical Troops. The next moment, these artificial intelligence lives immediately broke free from their controlled state and quickly regained their original consciousness. They were at a loss and started to panic.

Han Xiao did not say much to them. A suction force suddenly burst out from his body, like a black hole suddenly opening up. The Godly Stronghold took all the targets away, and he planned to explain it to Risda when he returned.

After absorbing the entire AI civilization, Han Xiao silently counted the names on the list. Suddenly, he paused and said, “There’s one less. Finette has to be returned as well.”

“I forgot.”

Manison remembered and summoned Finette. This was the ancestor of the AI civilization. He had not been transformed into an Indestructible Mechanical Troop and had always been his artificial intelligence assistant.

Han Xiao pointed, and a flash of lightning entered Finette’s body. Finette trembled, and the twisted logic quickly returned to normal. “I’ve recovered…”

Finette was stunned for a while before he sorted out his chaotic memories and understood what was going on. He was immediately moved and bowed toward Han Xiao according to the records in the database.

“Your Excellency Black Star, thank you for your help. I thank you on behalf of the entire

race!”

“If you want to thank someone, thank Risda. He has been pestering me for almost a hundred years because of this.” Han Xiao waved his hands and did not mind.

“That’s right, I really have to thank him…” Finette sighed. He then glared at Manison and said angrily,” Mechanic Emperor! You captured my race and tampered with my thoughts. You used me as a tool for so many years. I will get back at you for this sooner or later!”

Back then, when the AI civilization was invaded by Manison, he stood out and led his people to fight back. He suffered a crushing defeat and was almost wiped out by Manison. The Virtual Purification would not erase his memories from all these years. It could almost be filmed as ‘300 Years a Slave’. If not for the fact that he could not beat Manison, he would have killed Manison on the spot.

Manison glanced at him and ignored him.

Han Xiao did not mind. Without his help, this ancestor of the AI civilization basically had no chance of taking revenge on Manison. He casually said, “At least you’re free. Follow me, I’ll bring you back.”

Finette no longer bared his teeth at Manison and accepted Han Xiao’s Mechanical Force. He turned into a stream of light and attached himself to Han Xiao’s spaceship.

“Alright, nice deal. I’ll give you the funds to rebuild the Indestructible Mechanical Troops. I’ll be leaving first. You can continue staying at home.”

Han Xiao waved at Manison and boarded the spaceship. When he turned around, he saw Manison standing at the dock and watching him leave.

Ding!

This time, the interface suddenly moved. Han Xiao opened it and saw that it was the notification of the completion of the (Reboot] mission.

Tens of billions of experience points, 2 Awakening Points, and a milestone (Ally of Artificial Intelligence Lives). The introduction was that Virtual Technology would receive a certain level of improvement, and it would be easier to obtain the favor of artificial intelligence lives. The effect was basically an enhanced version of (Affable AI].

The more talents one had, the better. Of course, Han Xiao accepted it with a smile. This [Reboot) mission that had been on his list for many years also ended with the liberation of the AI civilization.

“Another mission cleared. Nice.”

Han Xiao raised his brows. Although he did not have OCD, he still felt satisfied when he saw that the mission list was getting cleaner.
