Chapter 294: Timeline Convergence, Rectification Protocol · Codename: Skynet
Chapter 294: Timeline Convergence, Rectification Protocol · Codename: Skynet
"Rectification Protocol application in progress. Applicant: Mechanical Emperor Subroutine, Seed Group, Primordial Heavenly Venerable Model, attempting to connect to the network."
"Connection failed, world energy level insufficient. Should the Rectification Protocol be forcibly activated?"
A cold, mechanical voice echoed, startling Qin Muye. The Demon Mechanic Emperor was just a subroutine, and what a bizarre combination—Skynet, the Seed, and Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Fortunately, the network connection failed.
"Lord of the Demon Land, grant me a way out. I will leave this world; otherwise, I will forcibly activate the Rectification Protocol."
Unlike the cold, mechanical voice, the Demon Mechanic Emperor's voice, though mechanical, carried a sense of self and pleading. Clearly, he did not want to force the activation of the protocol.
Qin Muye guessed that it would definitely have an impact on him, but the question was, what could he do about it? Who knew if the other party would leave? Things had already reached this point, and he had to be decisive. What if the other party summoned their own people, just like he did? After all, the Demon Mechanic Emperor was just a subroutine, which gained self-awareness due to the inability to connect to the network. If he really went back and begged the main program, and the true Mechanical Emperor descended, Qin Muye would be in trouble.
Therefore, he had to eliminate the threat first.
"Force the activation of the Rectification Protocol!!!"
Without waiting for Qin Muye's response, the Demon Mechanic Emperor knew that the other party would not agree. In a fit of rage, he forcibly activated the Rectification Protocol.
"Rectification Protocol forcibly activating, burning the Seed Source."
The cold voice sounded again, and a cube with peculiar patterns floated up, emitting a dazzling glow.
In the glow, intense colors of various hues shone, and the Demon Mechanic Emperor was gradually disappearing.
"Holy crap, there's actually a Seed Source! Isn't this from Transformers??" Qin Muye was completely shocked. He recognized it; this was indeed the Seed Source from Transformers.
It turned out the Demon Mechanic Emperor had it, and it was the core of his activation. Now, he was using the Seed Source to forcibly activate the Rectification Protocol, essentially betting his life on it.
As the colors of the glow spread, a massive void opened up.
"Connecting to the network... connection successful. Requesting permissions..."
In the void, Qin Muye saw countless terrifying entities wandering through the endless colors.
Butterflies with chaotic wings, the wise Bai Ze, the cat that walks between life and death, the mind-monkey writing under the Bodhi tree, and paradoxical beings that occasionally churned waves of color.
"Holy crap!!!"
Qin Muye was at a loss for words. These terrifying entities were just the tip of the iceberg of the colors. He was certain that what he saw were paradoxes—cats that were both alive and dead, monkeys that encompassed all things, and more.
Soon, an octagonal prism appeared, accepting the Demon Mechanic Emperor's Rectification Protocol request in the endless shadows.
Qin Muye glanced at it and knew that it was the true form of the Mechanical Emperor, a powerful silicon-based life form floating in the colors.
In the next moment, he felt an indescribable presence glance at him. In that instant, his consciousness spanned the entire past, present, and future, wandering through the universe of all things.
He saw the Rectification Protocol take effect, and the mechanical intellects rule the world.
He saw the invasion of high-dimensional demons, the real world merging with the spirit realm, and everything turning into desire.
He also saw the expansion of the insectoids, devouring and destroying everything, even turning the world itself into food.
He saw the final cycle, the world falling into silence, and everything returning to chaos. Whether they were sorcerers, insectoids, or mechanical intellects, they all became one with the chaos, losing their distinct identities.
As his vision expanded, countless pieces of knowledge flooded his mind, from the arrival of the insectoids, the accidental descent of the Demon Mechanic Emperor, the sorcerers discovering the power of emotions and the birth of demons in the spirit realm.
Everything from the beginning to the end formed a massive temporal flood, revealing various secrets. These secrets manifested in his mind, forming a series of timelines centered around the present.
Ultimately, all the timelines converged, and the upstream of time was fixed. The era named Skynet was set as the result of this world.
"Ugh~" Qin Muye's vision returned to his body, and the discomfort caused him to retch.
Even his human form was problematic, with magic power continuously writhing beneath his skin.
The Black Hand, noticing this, quickly came over to support him and released a large amount of magic. "Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Did you see it? That terrifying existence just... cough." Qin Muye coughed out a large amount of abyssal clumps, clearly feeling unwell.
"Master... We didn't see anything just now, only that the Demon Mechanic Emperor forcibly activated the Rectification Protocol." The Black Hand hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Qin Muye was about to say something but then heard the Demon Mechanic Emperor's final decision.
"Permission granted, Rectification Protocol activated, Codename: Skynet."
"Timeline deviation, correction program about to take effect."
The cold, mechanical voice disappeared, and the Seed Source had now turned into a stone.
But cold sweat dripped down Qin Muye's forehead because the Demon Mechanic Emperor was dead, and the corresponding Rectification Protocol in his long-term mission had not been completed.
Moreover, he was certain that the timeline of his world had been converged, and no matter what he did, the Skynet era would come.
And it seemed that the other party wanted to correct him?
How could this be corrected?
"Black Hand, have Hercules and the others return. The rest can go and claim the Demon Mechanic Emperor's inheritance." Qin Muye's voice was hoarse.
The Black Hand quickly made the arrangements and then asked, "Master, are you alright?"
"Are you sure you didn't see those brilliant colors and the paradoxes floating within them?" Qin Muye asked again.
"No, I only saw the Seed Source being burned up. Before that, you seemed to have a moment of absent-mindedness." The Black Hand didn't know what had happened to Qin Muye, but he knew it wasn't a trivial matter.
Soon, Hercules and the others returned. As soon as they entered, Qin Muye asked them the same question.
The answers were surprisingly consistent: they hadn't seen anything strange.
Qin Muye fell silent, then his gaze fell on the alloy fire gun in his inventory, the evidence of the crime.
'Eliminate the witness?'
This thing was called evidence, and he was sure that while the long-term mission was difficult, it couldn't be this difficult.
Because it was already a predetermined death sentence. The timeline had been converged, and the only future outcome was the Skynet era.
He guessed that no matter whether he chose the Demon Mechanic Emperor or the Insectoid Overlord first, the same result would be triggered.
"What happened?" Hecate was puzzled. Wasn't everything going smoothly?
"The problem is big. The future has been locked." Qin Muye took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Perhaps we could ask Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos to come. But they control fate, and it's not easy to contact them." Hecate suggested.
These three were the Fates, controlling the destiny and life of time.
But Qin Muye shook his head. "No, they won't do. To solve this, we might need Chaos itself, Kaos, to intervene."
"Is it that serious? But Kaos is just a chaotic entity, without self-awareness." Hecate was surprised.
"That's why it's troublesome. And the crisis is coming soon. The enemy is from the future, and they might have robots that can match you." Qin Muye knew that the future was the Skynet era, not just a single point in time, but the entire future of the Sorcerer Dynasty server being renamed as the Skynet era.
It wasn't just an 8th-rank issue; a 9th-rank one might even appear.
So Qin Muye was very worried.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, and a massive spatial rift opened near his territory.
A muscular figure squeezed out of the spatial rift.
"Terminator!!!" Qin Muye was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Skynet from the future was exactly what he had imagined.
The figure was completely naked, and then an electromagnetic storm formed in the air.
Skynet had truly sent a Terminator from the future to correct the timeline.
