CHAPTER 988: CHAPTER 986: BRO, I WAS WRONG

Originally, the Guardian was still a little worried, but after hearing Zhang Menglong’s words, it couldn’t help but laugh.

As the most powerful Artificial Intelligence of the Zuda Civilization, the Guardian is the crystallization of the entire civilization’s wisdom. Not to mention its database containing all the data of the civilization, its computing power and intelligence level are top-notch.

Scientists from the Zuda Civilization have even injected a large amount of automatic evolution iteration capability into it. As time goes on, its complexity and intelligence level become extremely terrifying, making it impossible for any Artificial Intelligence in today’s cosmic civilization to surpass it.

Zhang Menglong telling it this was like a child with a plastic gun threatening a muscleman carrying a nuclear bomb — it’s laughable.

"You think it’s funny?" Zhang Menglong’s smile began to become twisted.

"Boss, it’s not doable," said a student from the Super God Academy, approaching Zhang Menglong. "We have several students from the computer academy here; we’ve already cracked several artificial intelligences from ruins in various cities."

"Yeah, even if we can’t crack them, we can still maneuver, at least we can know what level they are approximately."

"But this Artificial Intelligence is really formidable. A few days ago, our students who took the elective course on Artificial Intelligence organized a collective attack but couldn’t even break the first layer of system defense.

After billions of years of self-iteration and self-evolution, the complexity of the Guardian system is beyond comprehension, even if the strongest Artificial Intelligence in the entire universe goes against it, the result would only be destruction.

"You are you, and I am me. Do not gauge my abilities by your standards, okay?" Zhang Menglong said.

"Gou Dan, can you manage?"

"A man can’t say he can’t!" Gou Dan answered, "It’s just an Artificial Intelligence from a Low-level world; the ceiling is right there. Any basic Artificial Intelligence from a High-Grade world could likely crush it. Watch me!"

"Young man, don’t be too arrogant. I know it’s impressive for you to have such strength and Gift at your age, but in my eyes, it is nothing. If you apologize to me and promise to follow my orders, I might consider passing the identity of the inheritor to you!"

"Get lost! Apologize to you? Follow your orders? You think you’re worthy?" Zhang Menglong laughed. "Honestly, I’m not desperate for your Zuda Civilization’s inheritance. Do you think it attracts me?"

"Do you know how many treasures our Zuda Civilization possesses?" For Zhang Menglong’s disdain, the Guardian was only slightly angry, but it couldn’t tolerate his contempt for the Zuda Civilization.

"The Phantom Star Beast and Black Warriors you obtained are just a portion of our Zuda Civilization’s treasures. We have countless resources and even more astonishing treasures. Don’t you want them?"

"No!" Zhang Menglong’s reply was just two words. Although these things are precious in this universe, to Zhang Menglong, they mean nothing. He can even live off his family if needed!

"I can give you an opportunity now. If you kneel and call me Big Brother, I might consider not completely destroying your data!"

"Destroy my data? With just you? Even if all the Artificial Intelligence in the universe joined forces, their computing power couldn’t match mine. I am a god among Artificial Intelligence!" The Guardian was very confident about this.

"I see you’ve been a refined Artificial Intelligence for so long; it would be a pity to kill you. I’m giving you a chance; don’t fail to appreciate it!"

"I want to see how you destroy my data!"

"Don’t regret it!" Zhang Menglong ordered, "Gou Dan, Na Yi Zu Te!"

"Got it!"

A blue light shot directly from Zhang Menglong’s forehead into the Guardian’s light sphere, and Gou Dan’s enormous data volume began to frantically assault its core.

Suddenly, the Guardian’s figure began to blur, like a bad signal appearing in intermittent fragments.

"Look! Something’s wrong with that Guardian."

"What’s going on? Out of power? No signal?"

"What’s happening?" The Guardian showed a panicked expression; such a thing had never happened since its creation!

It immediately started self-checking its system, but the results were nearly enough to make it collapse.

Another powerful Artificial Intelligence was frantically assaulting its database, and the data stream was even ten to a hundred times greater than its own! The massive computational power and horrific analytical ability seemed to pierce through its defenses in an instant.

"Hmm, not bad. Barely has the Artificial Intelligence level of a High-grade technology civilization universe basis. It’s pretty remarkable in this Low-level technology civilization world and Medium-tech world; the Zuda Civilization does have something."

"Who are you! Are you also Artificial Intelligence? How did you invade my database?" The Guardian said in a panic.

"Invade? Do I need to invade?" Gou Dan scornfully said, "Entering your core code is just a matter of moving slightly. Don’t overestimate yourself. Our dean gave you a chance, and you failed to cherish it!"

"Impossible! How can there be such a huge computational power in this world?" The Guardian realized Gou Dan’s computing power was a hundredfold larger than its full capacity. According to its current growth rate, it would take cosmic evolution time to reach this level.

"Expand your horizons, this amount of computing power is nothing. I have millions of cores and have only used a few dozen; you can rest peacefully!"

Gou Dan couldn’t be bothered with the Guardian anymore and began to dismantle its data. Its self-protection system desperately resisted Gou Dan’s attack, but it was simply powerless.

The Guardian’s already phantom-like body started to collapse instantly; its arms shattered into pieces of data particles, then legs, and torso...

"Wait!"

"No! Stop!" The Guardian shouted at Zhang Menglong. As an Artificial Intelligence with its own thoughts, it was almost indistinguishable from a real Life Form. If its data were utterly destroyed, it was no different than dying.

Having lived so long, how could it be willing to give up its life?

"Huh? Don’t stop? Alright, as you wish." Zhang Menglong laughed evilly and instructed Gou Dan to intensify its attack.

A moment later, the Guardian’s head began to go phantom. It had lost control over its data substantialization, and it felt as if it had lost control over a large portion of its data, all within less than half a minute!

"No! Brother, I was wrong!"

"Call me Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Am I now the heir to the Zuda Civilization?"

"Yes! From now on, everything left behind by the Zuda Civilization is yours!" To continue its existence, the Guardian nearly abandoned all its dignity.

"Gou Dan, stop!"

"What a true artificial idiot. I hadn’t even exerted myself, and you were finished!"

...

"Can you believe it?"

"He actually made the Guardian of the Zuda Civilization yield?"

"Legendary violent succession, I’ve witnessed it."

If not seen with their own eyes, who would believe someone could actually threaten an Artificial Intelligence!
