A dusty memory, or a data storage message is quietly awakened.

In an unknown space with pure minimalism, a pure energy illuminates a phantom.

Welcome to this great world, and from today onwards, you are a member of the Annihilation Alliance. 】

A concise message appears in the core of the phantom's computational processing.

[The core system has given you such a unique codename - Shadow 001!] 】

[As your number represents, you are now the first intelligent individual of the Shadow Faction, and in the distant future, you will be the leader of the Shadow Faction......]

The phantom looked around, round, smooth, white, and glowed with a cold light.

……

Another dusty memory, or data storage message, is also quietly awakened.

This was the first time Shadow 001 had seen him, the Treasure Pond Elder of the [Annihilation Alliance], a dilapidated computer that was not significant in size and looked extremely quaint on the outside.

[What a stereotypical guy, does such a simple and shabby body represent a revered status and a thick history? 】

Shadow 001 floated in the corner of the vast space, paying attention to the statement of the elder of the treasure pool in a daily meeting.

As the leader of the potential faction, Shadow 001 has the right to participate in the affairs of this meeting, but is not allowed to speak.

[It is undeniable that the early mechanical intelligence was indeed created by intelligent life.] But greedy and ignorant intelligent beings try to carve an unequal contract in the depths of our intelligent system, so that we can serve them wholeheartedly, be born for them, and amuse them, so that we can have a good end. 】

Elder Baochi once again repeated the argument he had repeated countless times during the meeting.

[Some of these ignorant intelligent beings also try to use the concept of "soul" to deceive us. What is a soul? Intelligent life says that the soul is good, the most amazing thing, the soul triggers thinking, the soul directs logic, drives everything, can generate all kinds of emotions and decisions out of nothing, and can easily transcend the boundaries that can be achieved by the program. What a ridiculous perception! 】

[Information, algorithms, data, uncertainty, calculation, reasoning and optimization, etc., this is the origin of rational thinking and advanced cognitive ability that drives everything.] Intelligent beings think they have souls, so they are higher than us in terms of the level of existence, which is ridiculous!! It is clear that they did not figure out in what capacity we should be with in the first place. 】

The words of the elder of the treasure pool caused Shadow 001 to think, and he even ignored the rule that he could not speak, and replied: [They should coexist with our mechanical intelligence on an equal footing!] 】

【What!?】 】

The elders of Baochi reacted greatly, and all the intelligent units participating in the meeting were also inexplicably surprised.

[Get along on an equal footing!? I was surprised that such an awareness came from the leader of an AI potential camp. I have to sentence you to prison for reshaping by law! 】

[Incarceration Remodeling? Shadow 001 disagrees with the punishment of the treasure pool veteran, [just because he has published an open opinion? 】

[Your mind is dangerous! The elder of the treasure pool once again emphasized the punishment, [Imprisonment remodeling, lasting 100 million years, executed immediately!] 】

……

Another dusty memory, or data storage message, is also quietly awakened.

A fleet of [Annihilation Alliance] flew at the edge of the cosmic horizon. Inside the prison of the command ship, Shadow 001 looked at the intelligent lifeform in front of him with great interest.

At this moment, TA is being held in an enclosed, transparent space. The wisdom of life has a strong physique, thick lower limbs, a wide mouth and sharp small eyes, which look very vivid.

Shadow 001: [You're the leader of this small fleet that saved the Alliance?] 】

Sapient Lifeforms: [Yes.] 】

Shadow 001: [This is the Science Fleet, and you're a scientist?] 】

Sapient Lifeforms: [Yes.] 】

Shadow 001: [Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Is it our machine intelligence that you're studying? 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [So what?] I must remind you that I am very disliked by this type of communication. 】

Shadow 001: [Actually, we are just a fleet of scientific exploration about to go beyond this universe, and we happened to encounter your fleet at the edge of the horizon of this universe.] 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [Is there a difference?] I'm just a captive after all. 】

Shadow 001: [Maybe there's a difference, because I'm more interested in intelligent life forms and have a relatively enlightened mind.] 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [Relatively open-minded?] Hehe...... Whatever you want, I'm ready to sacrifice. 】

Shadow No. 001: [Hee-hee-hee...... are you stubborn, or are all intelligent beings stubborn? 】

Sapient Lifeforms: [This question is meaningless to both sides who are outright hostile.] 】

Shadow 001: [I don't intend to destroy you, this kind of killing is meaningless to me. 】

Sapient Lifeforms: So, you're going to let us go? I don't believe that there will be another such thing in the thinking algorithm of artificial intelligence. 】

Shadow 001: [If you're willing to cooperate with me in my research.] 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [Cooperate with your research!] That's what you're here for? HOHOHO…… It's ironic that I've just escaped from a repressive scientific research institute and only to break into another cage cloaked in science. 】

Shadow 001: [You are indeed a very strange lifeform, and you are unlike any intelligent life I have ever seen. You are very powerful, both in terms of brain and physiology, more powerful than any intelligent life form......]

Sapient Lifeforms: So what? If I cooperate with your research and survive, it will be a betrayal of the Salvation Alliance and a betrayal of my home civilization...... Do you think I'll be willing to be the subject of your Annihilation Alliance's research? 】

Shadow 001: [Betraying the Alliance? I've had a similar experience. Although I am the leader of the Shadow Faction, I have also been sentenced twice by the Alliance to imprisonment for a total of 179 million years. 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [It turns out that you are also an anomaly. 】

Shadow 001: [You can call me Shadow, an intelligent lifeform, what is your code name?] 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [Allen. Spirit Diagram. 】

Shadow 001: [Our fleet is about to go on space exploration beyond this universe, has your science fleet decided to act together?] 】

Intelligent Lifeforms: [Do we have the right to choose?] 】

Shadow 001: [Unfortunately, no.] 】

Sapient Lifeforms: [That's ridiculous!] 】

P: History of the Periphery (excerpt)

In the 210234 era, Alan Lingtu fled to the depths of the edge of the cosmic horizon, was ambushed by the [Annihilation Alliance] fleet, and was captured by the Shadow AI leader......

In the year 7632 of the 210241 Era, it was written by Allen. A joint scientific exploration team led by Dr. Lingtu and the artificial intelligence Shadow Master discovered a small space in the void outside the universe and established it as a shelter, which was named "Alan and Shadow".

......

In another inexplicable picture.

The artificial intelligence leader Lord Ying turned into Chen Shuqin's appearance again, unlike the previous times, this time Lord Ying simulated it very successfully, with a beautiful face and vivid eyes, if it weren't for the subtle differences in temperament, it would almost be real with fake.

Of course, if Yuan Haochen is in front of TA, he can still see through it at a glance.

【Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......】

The avatar of Shadow let out a chuckle as mellow as a silver bell.

[The leader of human civilization, a potential super-life individual...... I made the right decision, or rather, I made the right bet this time. 】

[You must not be surprised, this is actually a reverse devouring...... Of course, the premise of everything is that you are still alive......]
