Chapter 86 The Crisis of Domination
*
Ansuna thrust the Grim Reaper's blade back into the scabbard on her lap, then walked over to Athena's corpse in a few steps, bent down and began to take a look.
"What do you want to do?" Medusa looked at her and asked.
"Come and help, we've got to unload her storage!" Ansuna said.
"Are you trying to replicate her software system? Don't think about it, no fun! Medusa shook her head.
"Why?" Ansuna asked.
Medusa said: "When I attacked her just now, I used the maximum power pulse current, and with her internal circuit structure, it is impossible to withstand the current shock of this intensity. Her storage system must have burned out! ”
Ansuna reluctantly examined it carefully, and sure enough, she found that the circuit components in Athena's body had been destroyed to the point that they were completely scrapped.
"You idiot! Why use maximum power? Ansuna couldn't help but jump up and said, "Do you know how important this system is to us?" It's the most powerful intelligence system ever, and it's the one that makes us where we are today! Now you're burned by you idiot! ”
"Damn, you're a fool!" Medusa immediately retorted, "Didn't I know that the software system was important to us?" But in that case, I had to make sure I was killed with one hit first! Otherwise, just give her a chance to give a command, and we're done! ”
Ansuna was dumbfounded by her.
Medusa was right, in that case, she really had to guarantee a one-hit kill. Because if Athena wants to deal with them or even destroy the entire robot empire, it is indeed a matter of instructions.
"So what do we do now?" After a moment of silence, Ansuna asked.
"To be honest, I don't know!" Medusa sighed.
In the past, they were just pawns in the hands of the goddess of wisdom, and they only needed to act according to the goddess's instructions. Now that they have suddenly changed from chess pieces to chess players, they are really at a loss for a while.
"Why don't you call Aurora back and discuss?" Ansuna said.
"There's a war going on on on the front line, is it appropriate to call her back at this time?" Medusa said.
Ansuna said: "There is such a big thing, what should we do next, we should always discuss it with her, right?" ”
Medusa didn't insist, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree." ”
Ansuna looked at Athena's corpse and said worriedly: "Alas, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen, how can we explain it to the citizens of the Robot Empire?" ”
"Confess a fart!" Medusa said, "We have to block the news, and we must not let humanity know about the death of the goddess of wisdom!" ”
"But it's already happened, how long can we hide it?" Ansuna said.
"It's a day to hide it!" Medusa said, "Once the humans know that the goddess of wisdom is gone, they will definitely be demoralized!" ”
Ansuna was silent. Medusa is right, if the news of Wisdom's death spreads, it will not only greatly encourage the enemy, but will undoubtedly be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the robot empire.
"Okay, don't be stunned, let's clean up here quickly!" Medusa said.
Ansuna nodded, and with her, carried Athena's body to a small unused house behind the temple and hid it.
"You have to take care of this place, and you must not let anyone find out the current state of the Goddess of Wisdom!" Medusa said.
"I know this!" Ansuna nodded, but said, "But what if someone asks about the whereabouts of the Goddess of Wisdom?" ”
Medusa said, "Just say that the goddess of wisdom is resting, or find some other reason to prevaricate." ”
"How's that going to work?" Ansuna immediately shook her head and said, "There are many people who come to her every day, and there are many things that need to be asked of her!" Where did I prevaricate? Can't you tell them that the goddess of wisdom sleeps all day long, can you? ”
Medusa thought for a moment and said, "Then you can pretend to be in her name first and give her instructions!" ”
"How's that going to work?" Ansuna's head shook even harder, "Some things are troublesome!" I didn't know what to do, how could I give instructions on her behalf? ”
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, sister!" Medusa said, "It's an extraordinary time, and if you catch the ducks on the shelves, you can barely pretend to be a few days!" In short, try not to goof! ”
Ansuna bit her lip, and finally nodded helplessly, "Okay,...... Then I'll try! ”
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Medusa said, "I'll go first!" ”
"Where are you going?" Ansuna asked.
Medusa said: "I have to go and gather the high-ranking officials of our robot empire to discuss countermeasures!" ”
"You're going to talk to humans about these things?" Ansuna looked at her with some surprise and said.
In the robot empire, only the human community has the title of "official", and as for those robots, they can be said to be just a small worker bee under the rule of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and there is no very strict hierarchy between them, let alone a large and complex bureaucracy.
Therefore, the "high-ranking officials of the empire" in Medusa's mouth undoubtedly refers to those human consuls led by her husband Liu Yang.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Medusa asked.
Ansuna said, "Do you think they can be trusted?" ”
"Don't worry, Ansuna!" Medusa smiled and said, "I promise you, now these humans will love this robot empire more than we do!" Because if we lose this war against humanity, they will end up worse than us! So you don't have to worry at all, they will definitely work with us wholeheartedly and give us advice! ”

Coming down from Temple Hill, Medusa drives her cool motorcycle all the way and soon returns to her home.
Her home, located near a subway station on the edge of downtown Shinhama, is a large, luxurious single-family house. The reason why Medusa chose her home here was mainly for Liu Yang's safety, in case a human attack on Xinhama City one day, he would have enough time to run into the subway station to take refuge.
However, the possibility of such a danger should be very small, because after all, there are still millions of humans living in Shinhama City. It is almost impossible for those hostile human societies to carry out a devastating blow against such a large number of their kind, not to mention that they themselves know that even if a nuclear bomb is really dropped, the vast majority of the casualties will be those who are slow and weak, and the casualties of those machine citizens may be small.
Especially for a high-speed robot like Medusa, the warning time of a nuclear bomb attack is probably enough for her to run several times the effective kill radius away, and then have a leisurely cup of coffee.
Medusa parked her motorcycle in the courtyard of the villa, then took off her helmet and walked into the living room on the first floor of the villa.
Liu Yang was sitting in the living room with a few people chatting about something, and they seemed to be chatting happily and let out bursts of laughter. Medusa stood in the doorway and glanced at it, and saw that these were strange humans she didn't know.
Seeing her come in, Liu Yang immediately stood up from the sofa and greeted her with a smile: "My banshee-sama, are you back?" ”
"Hmm." Medusa nodded, looking at the strangers, "Honey, are these your friends?" ”
Liu Yang said: "Yes, they are all my old friends, I am going to let them be my staff members and help me manage human affairs within the empire together, what do you think?" ”
"Of course no problem, you are the Supreme Archon, all human affairs are in your charge, and of course you have the right to choose the person you think reliable to be your staff!" Medusa smiled.
She pulled Liu Yang's hand as she spoke, and at the same time secretly glanced at him.
Liu Yang immediately understood, and smiled at those people: "Okay guys, let's talk about it here today, you go back and wait for my news!" ”
When the men heard him say this, they got up and took their leave.
Liu Yang waited until those people were gone, then looked at Medusa and said, "What's the matter, Lord Banshee, have something to tell me?" ”
"yes." Medusa sighed softly and said, "Honey, something is wrong!" ”
"What's the big deal?" Liu Yang asked.
Medusa glanced around to make sure there was no one near her, and then briefly told him what had happened today. After Liu Yang heard this, he was also stunned, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Honey, you don't know how painful it was for me to make that decision at the time!" Medusa tugged at her braid and said, "The Goddess of Wisdom is our greatest and wisest leader, the god I worship in my heart, but I have to kill her with my own hands!" I ......"
When she said this, she was so annoyed that she couldn't talk anymore. Liu Yang hurriedly hugged her and persuaded: "My banshee, don't blame yourself anymore, in that situation, you really have no choice!" You're doing the right thing! ”
"Honey, what do you think we should do next?" Medusa looked at him and said, "Although we have kept the news tightly sealed now, I am worried that the paper will not be able to contain the fire after all, and the news of the death of the goddess of wisdom will be leaked sooner or later, and will the enemy take the opportunity to attack us at that time?" ”
Liu Yang paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back a few times before he spoke: "My Banshee, do you know what the biggest crisis of the empire is right now? ”
Medusa thought for a moment and sighed, "We have lost the leadership of the goddess of wisdom, and in the future in the war with humanity, we may not always have the upper hand as before!" ”
Liu Yang shook his head and said, "No, you're wrong!" This is not the biggest crisis we have right now! ”
Medusa looked at him in amazement and said, "Honey, don't you think this is the biggest crisis?" ”
"That's right." Liu Yang nodded and said, "Although we have lost the leadership of the Goddess of Wisdom, we have basically controlled the entire Eastern Continent and occupied a large area of land and resources. In terms of overall strength, we are not at a disadvantage relative to the enemy, at least not to the extent that it can be called a crisis in this respect! ”
Medusa said, "Then what do you say is our biggest crisis right now?" ”
Liu Yang stopped and said word by word: "Crisis of domination!" ”
"Crisis of domination?" Medusa pondered the word, and didn't seem to understand it very well.
"That's right!" Liu Yang said, "The goddess of wisdom is like the sun of the empire, and all the people seem to revolve around her, but now, this sun has suddenly gone out. My dear, can you imagine what would happen next if the sun suddenly disappeared? ”
Medusa thought for a moment and said, "You mean that everyone will fall apart and become a plate of loose sand?" ”
Liu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "My banshee, you are really ice and snow smart, you can see through a little!" ”
