Chapter 1474: Enslavement Modification
Facing Leah's question, the Planetary AI calmly responded, "Proving this is quite simple. Lea Manche, do you think you could destroy your own homeworld with your current strength?"
"Um..." Leah hesitated for a moment.
But she quickly replied, "I should be able to."
A few days ago, she had experimented alone in space. When she unleashed her full power, she indeed could destroy her homeworld. The realization had startled her at first.
"Then let me ask you", the Automaton continued, "how is it possible for a planet to give birth to a being capable of destroying it? In fact, the resources required for your breakthrough exceed the entire planet's reserves. Your ascension involves a significant amount of resources from beyond this planet.
Moreover, this planet is not just home to you. There are two of us, and countless other beings."
"..." Leah fell silent.
Theoretically, a planet could not produce a being powerful enough to destroy it. She knew this deep down, especially considering there were three of them.
However, due to the short time since her breakthrough and her lack of understanding of the true power of Planetary Grade beings, she had suppressed this doubt.
Now, Leah's slender frame trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyelashes fluttered.
She almost believed the Planetary AI's words, suspecting that her ascension was indeed part of the Automaton's plan.
"What exactly do you intend to do? What is your true purpose?" Leah asked through gritted teeth.
The Planetary AI calmly explained, "The book just mentioned it clearly. We are elevating you to Planetary Grade because Planetary Grade carbon-based life forms generate more spiritual energy.
Now, if you genuinely pledge your loyalty to us and accept the modifications to your body, you will remain the ruler of the southern hemisphere for all eternity."
As it spoke, a 3D projection appeared in front of the Planetary AI, demonstrating the modifications they planned to perform on Leah.
Leah's body would undergo extensive enslavement modification. The Automaton would install threat devices in critical areas, such as her heart, brain, and spine.
Once installed, Leah's life and death would be under their control, and she would never be able to defy their commands.
Watching the 3D projection, Leah's face turned even more pale, almost gray.
She forced herself to suppress her trembling body and glared, "What if I refuse?"
She thought about her last option: escaping this star system and wandering in space.
But the Automaton had already anticipated this.
"Refuse? Too late!" The Planetary AI's massive mechanical tentacles swung from all directions, enveloping Leah.
At the same time, Leah felt an excruciating pain surge through her entire body!
The pain came from her limbs, torso, and head, and for a moment, she couldn't control her body at all.
In her panic, she realized that Automaton had already set up various vital points all over her body!
In fact, ever since Leah was young, Automaton had been secretly modifying her body. Automaton had installed vital points in every part of her body, and their simultaneous activation was enough to threaten her life.
Today, Automaton was explaining everything to Leah so clearly for two reasons: first, to make her accept her fate, which would make her easier to manage; and second, to update the vital points in her body. During Leah's ascension to the Planetary Grade, her physical body had undergone a transformation that nullified some of the vital points' effects.
Now, with all the vital points in her body activating, the pain was overwhelming, coming from every part of her body.
She finally understood the sheer terror and depth of Automaton's plot.
Did carbon-based life forms have no choice but to be at Automaton's mercy?
At the same time, the third-stage Planetary Grade Automatons, which had remained silent, gathered around.
Their goal today was to completely subdue Leah, turning her into a permanent spiritual energy production machine for Automaton.
...
Above Crystal Grid City, the Dominator Apex Automaton slowly said, "Now, Protein Bugs, you have no room for negotiation.
Next, we will be modifying your bodies, implanting monitoring chips and threat devices to ensure that you will no longer pose a threat to Automaton's core interests."
Now, the worldview of the two hundred carbon-based strong individuals, led by Magrathon, had completely collapsed, plunging them into despair. Understanding the truth had almost driven them to the brink of madness.
"Lord Magrathon... What should we do?" Several of the strong individuals looked at Magrathon, utterly at a loss.
Magrathon was also at a loss.
Should they agree to Automaton's demands?
Or should they struggle further?
...
But just then, an unexpected change occurred!
Everything that had been happening on the planet had been part of Automaton's plan.
However, at this moment, two significant events occurred that were completely outside of Automaton's plan! (End of Chapter)
