Chapter 326 Capturing the Ex-Machina Girl

In the sky, Jibril looked at the Ex-Machina curiously.

Although they are only ranked tenth in the race sequence, due to the special nature of the Ex-Machina, the heads of this race are also among the top in the rarity ranking of the Flügel.

In the data of the higher-order Elves and Dwarfs, they are also rated as dangerous and untouchable.

Even Jibril, who successfully challenged the Dragon Elf, has not challenged the Ex-Machina alone. The reason is that the Ex-Machina are like machines, with a rigid character that makes it impossible to negotiate, and the Ex-Machina, which acts in groups, have no flaws.

In addition, they have even accomplished the feat of killing the Dragon Elf's Yanlong King. From the perspective of hunting difficulty alone, they have reached the level of the Deus.

If this race itself is not very passive and almost never makes meaningless provocations when not attacked, their reputation for evil is probably much worse than it is now.

"It's really strange that those scrap metals would trespass into other people's territory without permission. Are they being used?"

Jibril muttered to herself, somewhat confused, "No, the analytical characteristics of the Ex-Machinas doom them to not be used. After all, they have no interest in war or even the Star Grail."

The girl thought distressedly, but still could not come to a conclusion. She looked at Roland with a look that seemed to be coquettish.

"There are no extra Ex-Machinas within a radius of 200 kilometers."

Roland, who had a deeper and deeper tacit understanding with Jibril, gave her the answer she wanted calmly. This information made the girl's face reveal a fanatical and crazy state again.

"Even if they really wanted to investigate for some purpose, they would never let a machine act alone. In other words... Is this lone Ex-Machina acting alone by its own will? This is beyond rare!"

Jibril clasped her hands together in front of her chest and looked at the Ex-Machina girl hiding in the closed space with a greedy look.

The opponent's magic was flawless. Although its effectiveness was somewhat lower than the original version, if she had not exposed her tracks for observation, it would not be easy for Jibril to find her during the tour.

"Hmm..."

Roland casually echoed Jibril's words, and did not judge with the girl as usual. Although the fact that the Ex-Machina was alone was enough to determine the other party's identity, he still carefully observed the special Ex-Machina.

She looked like a human girl about ten years old, with delicate features that were impeccable. Although she was a little cold and stiff, she was undoubtedly worthy of the title of a beautiful girl.

She was petite and very lovable, with messy black hair hanging down to her waist, forming a sharp contrast with her snow-white skin.

The special nature of her race made her not wear any clothes, only long hair covering most of her body, giving people a sense of looming temptation, but even so, it would be difficult for anyone to really ignite desire for her.

Rather, the strange man who could have a desire for her at first sight after seeing the metal armor that permeated all over the joints and the cold metal structure under the glowing cracks on her skin would not have lived to this day in this era.

Behind the girl, two pipes like a tail were swaying back and forth, and her ruby-like eyes were also flashing with easy-to-understand information.

And where she was looking, several humans who had just awakened spirit suits were training with the exploration team and testing the strength of their new power.

The concealment of the closed space made it impossible for her to interfere with the outside world. Considering the characteristics of the Ex-Machina, this seemed to be just instinctively collecting intelligence.

However...

Both Roland, who was familiar with the theater version, and Jibril, who had rich combat experience, knew her true purpose.

"She is analyzing the spirit suit?"

Jibril whispered.

Noticing Roland's abnormality, Jibril's excitement was also restrained. Roland did order her to be alert to all those who approached the Kingdom of Elkia, but not to eliminate them immediately, but to report to him before allowing them to move freely.

At first, Jibril thought that Roland was looking for experimental subjects for the construction of spirit equipment, but now it seems that her master has long been eyeing the Ex-Machina.

"Yes, to be honest, the value of this matter alone is not inferior to capturing Azriel."

"A mere analysis body?"

Jibril was a little surprised.

The Ex-Machina have always acted in groups, and rarely have they been alone.

This phenomenon is not because of how united they are, but because of their racial characteristics.

The strength of a single Ex-Machina is not strong, whether it is combat power or spirit adaptability, it is only in the middle stream, but their biological form makes up for this perfectly.

The Ex-Machina is an extremely advanced race. To make an analogy, it is a strong artificial intelligence connected by multiple individuals. They are mentally connected and can be regarded as a whole.

The information received by a single machine will be transmitted to the command body, the link body and the all-link command body Einzishi. They collect information in the form of individual users, transmit it to the server for analysis, and then return it to the user, just like an army.

But the difference from the regular army is that they are a real whole, sharing thoughts in real time, jointly commanding and processing, and absolutely loyal to each other. This hive mind allows the Ex-Machinas to act like countless supercomputers at all times.

In a war, this means that being hostile to one machine means being hostile to the entire race, and any intelligence and weapons obtained by a single individual will be shared with all individuals immediately.

No matter how secret or difficult it is, or even the innate skills that only a race can possess, the Ex-Machina can imitate them and improve them into versions suitable for their use. In addition, the Ex-Machina has developed many unique and powerful exclusive skills.

Moreover, because they have no individual consciousness, they are not afraid of death in battle.

Moves that have been used once will be copied, and moves that have never been seen will also get the appropriate answer in the shortest time due to the powerful computing power. Because of this, all races dare not easily provoke the Ex-Machina, even the powerful Flügel are no exception.

"If it is just an analytical body, of course it won't happen, but if it is an abnormal person who is disconnected and acts with his own will, it will be different."

Roland shrugged noncommittally.

"For the sake of overall performance, the abnormal body is disconnected. This physical isolation method is effective, but it still cannot change the result of the abnormal existence's permission to connect."

This is not an idea of ​​excessive self-awareness, but a fact that is easily overlooked.

Even if the individual is disconnected, he still has the permission to connect to the Ex-Machina server. Although the server can refuse, from another perspective, this interface always exists.

In theory, direct physical destruction is the safest option, but if there is no problem, even if the server is forcibly connected, it will only be overwhelmed by the data in the face of massive computing power. But if it is really polluting, perhaps this unique data itself is the answer.

I don’t know if it is because the ultimate goal of the Ex-Machina is to find the meaning of existence, and it has always defaulted to disconnecting as a way to deal with abnormal people.

"In other words, if she is regarded as a bug and forced to connect, all Ex-Machina will fall."

Jibril asserted.

"Yes," Roland confirmed Jibril's judgment and explained, "It just so happens that through the deconstruction of Azriel's life form, the infection of the spirit suit has gradually deviated from the physical way and began to exist in the form of quantum superposition. In this case, there is no more perfect experimental subject than the Ex-Machina."

"Moreover, if the entire Ex-Machina is really recovered, it will also be crucial to the formation of an alliance to counterattack Master Artosh. In this way, I seem to have to thank this piece of scrap metal."

For the Grand Alliance that has already taken shape, the fundamental reason for its formation is still Roland's combat power. Even the precursor of the war is just a fuse.

The contradictions accumulated by many races in the past are not reconcilable at all. If Roland's extraordinary combat power is not counted, even if they really unite, they will fall apart in an instant.

This situation certainly will not satisfy Roland. While expanding the scale and training humans, he also has to find time to find a reliable leader and experiment with the composition of the essence and spirit suit.

Compared to the former, the latter is much more difficult.

Roland is not boasting. Many of the Deus understand the Essence far less than he does.

The Deus are naturally strong, so they don't know or can't think about what their essence means, because this action itself is very dangerous.

As far as Roland knows, the creator of the Ex-Machina, the God of Doubt, Hanlou, seems to have pierced his Essence because of this.

——How to use the Essence and the power of the Spiritual Equipment that are beginning to be on the right track.

This has become Roland's most troublesome problem at present. In order to complete the final weapon to defeat Artosh, this problem must be solved.

However, as long as the Ex-Machina is conquered, all this will be solved.

This race, which can theoretically become infinitely stronger, not only analyzed the combined power attack released by Artosh when fighting against many races in the original work, but also became the second race to complete the feat of killing the Deus.

If you don't have a deep understanding of the power of the Deus and the essence of the Essence, you can't do this, and their own needs for the heart also doom them to invest a lot of time to analyze and improve the power of the Spiritual Equipment.

"If we can get the power of the Mechas, we don't have to worry about the spiritual equipment or the maintenance of the alliance. Their absolutely neutral attitude is enough to eliminate the gap between any races and act as the transmitter of my will." Roland smiled, turned to look at Jibril, and said: "Therefore, it is still very important to capture her. If she runs away or is destroyed, I will have a headache. With your newly recovered body, can you complete this task?"

Jibril shrugged her nose, gently lifted the hem of her skirt at her waist, and the cross in her eyes began to light up because of her seriousness.

"Humph, are you looking down on me, Lord Roland?"

Although she has been staying with Roland recently and has received various punishments with that stupid sister, she is an individual who was born with the purpose of becoming infinitely stronger. She doesn't think she will lose to a mere scrap metal.

The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot.

"Hello, scrap metal."

The moment she heard that voice, the Mechas girl collected the information.

He could freely move through the closed space, and did not launch an attack immediately, but greeted with an arrogant attitude.

Combined with the wings woven by light on the opponent's waist, after comparing the data, there was no doubt.

Flügel, the final individual, Jibril.

"[Question] Why are the Flügel looking for the Ex-Machina?"

The opponent did not launch the final taboo of attacking. Following the old rules, the Ex-Machina girl did not immediately launch a counterattack.

"Well, although I really want to explain it to you, I'm in a hurry..."

Jibril didn't care about this way of answering. There was a trace of malice in the corner of her mouth, "So, you'd better use your body to understand before I turn you into iron filings."

"Diankai·speed limit violation."

At the same time as the mocking voice sounded, the Ex-Machina girl instantly disappeared from Jibril's sight.

The girl moved at a speed equivalent to instantaneous movement, giving the highly concentrated elf directivity, and broke through the cage formed by this closed space by producing a large number of spirit skeletons.

The Ex-Machina knew very well that in even a millionth of a second, the Flügel, which was good at space movement, would catch up.

Therefore, after breaking through the space, a more intense data flow flashed through her eyes than before.

To escape successfully, with the probability of the analytical body's combat power, one can only bet everything on this one move.

The Ex-Machina girl's wings turned into sharp cannon muzzles, and the firepower that was enough to taint the world began to brew rapidly.

"Diankai——[Pseudocanon·Yan Long Roar]"

Such a decisive reaction made the flashing Jibril unconsciously widen her eyes, and then she swung down the blade of light that could split mountains and rocks with an even more ferocious attitude than before.

The position where she appeared was far beyond the Ex-Machina's calculations. It was almost unbiased and exactly the same as the position when the Ex-Machina stopped moving. At this distance, the killer move that was still brewing was meaningless at all.

Then, the Ex-Machina girl's vision fell into brief darkness.

The Flügel locked her up with a powerful spell, and then flew away into the distance without even looking at the astonished human below, throwing her in front of an incomprehensible man, like a hunter showing off his prey. .

No, judging from the expression, it looks more like a hunting dog waiting for praise from its owner.

"Well done, Jibril."

Giving such a simple answer was enough to make the dangerous Flügel that he could not fight express his inner joy.

But any existing information could not be used as a comparison. The young man who had the same eye color as her, but was darker red, with a halo as thick as blood, did not care about the Flügel's performance. He just held his chin and spoke seriously. He observed her face as if this matter was more important.

The above is all the information she can control.

Why would a Flügel show such submissiveness to someone other than the Creator? Why not destroy this machine instead of capturing it?

The doubtful girl looked at the young man with an almost inorganic gaze and began to think about the next step.

However, the young man had no intention of letting her go. He waved gently and asked her to come closer to him while she was floating in the air.

Roland tentatively stroked the hair of the mecha girl in front of him. Contrary to his expectation, unlike the heavy metallic feeling on her body, her hair was very soft. If those mechanical parts were removed, she would be It's like she really is an ordinary petite girl.

After realizing this, the impression of the other party changed from a machine to a living doll.

so……

He said hello like this.

"When we met for the first time, I knew that Ex-Machinas are relatively straightforward characters, so I'll keep the story short.

——Do you want to be mine? "
