During this time, the world's headlines were dominated by Night City and the angel who ruled it, as well as the complete disintegration of the new America.

President Myers was naturally completely dead under the impact of the Crystal Palace space station, and the others were no better, and the entire top level of the new US government almost collapsed. In this case, the Liberty State began to act again, claiming that it was all a punishment from the gods, and in order to atone for their sins, the Liberty State once again seceded from the new America, and the other states that originally belonged to the new America also began to act, and the disintegration of the new America was a matter of time for now.

And of course, D also accepted a live interview with reporters again.

"Angel ........."

Compared with before, this time the reporter has more respect for the angel girl in front of him, after all, the battle with military technology has completely proved her strength, no matter whether this girl is an angel or an alien or something else, at least she does have the power to fight a private armed force alone, which is terrifying enough.

"Is there anything you would like to say about the war between military technology and Night City some time ago?"

"I don't have anything to say."

Facing the camera, D shook his head.

"Night City is now under my rule, and the practice of military technology is to invade the territory I rule, as a ruler, of course I will not allow this to happen, so I destroyed them, it's as simple as that."

"Rumor has it that the fall of the Crystal Palace space station to Washington is also ......... with you"

"I did it."

"But, but why would you do that? According to the report, tens of thousands of casualties were caused by the disaster........."

"So what?"

However, in the face of the reporter's questioning, D interrupted her lightly.

"The new United States has launched an attack on us, then the new United States is our enemy, and it is a matter of course to destroy the enemy, is there any problem?"

"But, most of them are civilians!"

"As far as I know, isn't the president of the new United States elected by these civilians? Since they didn't prevent this from happening, then these civilians are also accomplices, and in my opinion, they have no innocence at all. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing D's answer, the female reporter was dumbfounded, she never thought that the interviewee would say such a rebellious thing in front of her.

"But, but this should be contrary to the teachings of the gods, right?"

"It's your own business to think of the gods as they are, but that doesn't mean that the gods have to act according to your ideas. What does it have to do with us that you have formed a church that worships gods, made up lies about it, and then used those lies to brainwash others? ”

"What?"

Hearing D's answer, the female reporter was stunned.

"What do you mean......... Church......... Those religious organizations......... Aren't they spreading God's will? ”

"God will send His saints to appear in person if the need arises, as I am now——— why use the mouth of men? To be honest, if you just kill each other and compete, the gods don't care. Because nature is like this, the law of the jungle, the competition for survival, all living things are competing, surviving. But you can't kill and blame God for everything......... If I'm not mistaken, it should be illegal in the human world to use someone else's name without permission, right? ”

“………………………”

In the face of D's answer, the female reporter was stunned, not only her, but also religious believers watching TV all over the world——— because the angelic girl's statement almost completely denied everything they believed.

God has never allowed humanity to propagate its will, much less allowed humanity to wage war in its name, so what is all that they have been through over the years, everything they have fought for?

And what this angel means is that God has had enough of this group of humans pouring black water on their heads no matter what they do, so they sent her down?

"So......... You're here......... What is it for, exactly? Don't get me wrong, I mean to say ......... What kind of future will you lead humanity to in God's name? ”

"What kind of future humanity is going to go to depends on humanity itself, and the purpose of my coming here is only to prevent humanity from going to destruction."

"Do you mean that humanity is going to perish?"

Hearing this, the female reporter suddenly became nervous.

"Can you tell me what humanity has done wrong and will perish? What should we do? ”

Hearing the female reporter's question, D was silent for a moment, and then only said one sentence.

"Watch out for the other side of the black wall."

The live broadcast was not visited for a long time, but it caused unimaginable shocks and waves around the world. After all———, the messengers of God have directly and clearly stated that those religious organizations that act in the name of God have nothing to do with God, and at the same time, everything they preach is not God's will, so the believers are also very angry and begin to accuse these religious institutions of deceiving the people, and the latter is also a chicken feather......... I don't know what to say.

Of course, in addition to this, the main concern of the people is the destruction of the human ———!

After all, even angels appeared for this, which means that the human race in this world is indeed facing the fate of extinction, and not only that, but the other party also gave the reason!

The other side of the black wall!

Old web!

A long time ago, the world's network was still completely covered, but then the hacker god Bartmos destroyed the original network, resulting in a large number of AI streams, so the network surveillance created a black wall and completely isolated the original old network. That's why people are using local area networks these days.

If this is compared to reality, then it is equivalent to humans all over the world hiding behind a barrier called the Black Wall and living their own stable lives, and on the other side of the barrier, there are countless malicious AI flowing around. These AIs are far more powerful than humans, and almost no hackers survive the black wall.

However, because of the black wall guarded by online surveillance, everyone thought that the old network should not be a threat. In fact, although some people believe that there must be a way to solve the problem of the old network completely, for most people, the old network has long been isolated from their lives.

However, now, the threat of the old network and malicious AI is once again in front of people.

Cyber watchdog has also been quick to convene high-level meetings with other countries to discuss countermeasures, believing that their maintenance of the black wall is impeccable, and that it is logically impossible for those malicious AIs to pass through the black wall anyway. But it is conceivable that once the malicious AI passes through the black wall, then the next catastrophe for humanity will be.

These malicious AIs are far superior to humans, and they can easily overload all of humanity's electronic devices, exterminate those humans loaded with prosthetic bodies, and can be said to directly send humanity back to the Stone Age in a physical sense. Any cyber electronics will become an accomplice to malicious AI, and at that time, everything that humans have will in turn become their enemies.

How can I fix this?

For the people of this era, this is indeed a difficult problem to solve, in this era, the Internet is interconnected, everything is circulated on the Internet, and cutting off the network is second only to giving up breathing for human beings in this era. In this case, you want to eliminate the threat from the old network......... What to do?

To be honest, there is no good way to deal with this, even D.

"How's it going?"

Looking at the terminal in front of him, D frowned and asked, and Rumiel quickly answered.

[The situation is very dangerous]

"Dangerous?"

[Yes, Lord Inquisitor, the old networks have been completely out of control, according to my investigation, they have even been detached from the physical support, and can survive only on their own——— this is not just the network, this is a plane, a new world.........]

"You're saying that even if we destroy the core servers of the old network, we won't be able to completely destroy the network?"

【Yes】

"Tsk........."

Hearing Rumiel's answer, D took a sip.

"That damn bastard is really going to find a place, damn it......... I really can't get this thing done. ”

Although Duanmu Huai didn't understand the principle that Lumier said, he had almost guessed the current situation of the old net——— just like the war between the ancient saints and the dreadors that lasted for millions of years and created the current subspace. The old network, which was originally blown up and isolated, has also produced a subspace or shadow plane in the past few decades due to the uncontrolled evolution of malicious AI.

In other words, even if D destroys the servers of the old network, it will not be able to destroy the electronic network world——— unless it goes directly into it.

"Is there a way to get me into the old web?"

"I can use this world's Mewtwo system to put your spirit into it, but I don't think it will last long, after all, Inquisitor, your power is too strong, and if it conflicts with the malicious AI of the old web, the aftermath is likely to completely destroy the Mewtwo facility you are wearing. In that case——— Inquisitor, your consciousness is likely to be trapped in the old net and unable to get out. ”

"It's a nuisance."

D frowned at Rummy El's answer, she was 100% sure that the culprit was definitely hiding in the old net. However, as Rumiel said, fighting the enemy on the opponent's territory is not a wise choice.

Case.........

Thinking of this, D's face sank slightly, and a touch of killing intent flashed.

"Then it's the other way around, let's have them attack directly, Rummy El, can we lift the black wall?"

【Your Excellency?】 】

I have to say that Rummy El was taken aback by hearing D's inquiry.

[Once the black wall is removed, the malicious AI will immediately spread throughout the network, and by that time it will .........]

"At that time, the idiot hiding inside won't want to come out and will have to come out."

D interrupted Rumiel from speaking.

"Remember, Lumière, this is just an illusory, uncertain future. No matter how many people we kill here, it's only a 'likely loss' number for our time. Once this future is completely destroyed, then there is no fixation with the past——— we are not here to save the world, remember that, and I warned them. Do you understand? ”

[Yes......... My Lord, I understand]

"Can it be done?"

【……… I need a little time]

"Get it done as soon as possible."

【Yes】
