A cross-galactic exchange gradually came to an end in silence, just like a simple communication between each father and daughter, without too much quarrel and conflict, nor the prohibition and rebuke that Elaine imagined, in this matter about the [Iron Man], the emperor still gave Elaine the greatest trust within the scope of his ability.

As beings who have lived through the Old Night, the Lord of Humanity knows the extent of the Iron Man faction that Elaine is coming into contact with at this time—an ancient casting world that can digitize souls, and even technically cross some kind of [barrier], just like the 'Iron Man Souls' who were resurrected from this factory in a twisted form, in fact, they are no less threatening to the Human Empire than any known Iron Man, and can even threaten the future of the Human Empire.

But, even so, the Emperor acquiesced to Elaine's actions, whether it was applying its ancient and advanced technology to the Twelfth Legion's efforts to restore production, or cooperating with the Abominable Intelligences in the form of a Covenant with the unclear position of the Abomination.

Obviously... In the eyes of the world, these acts of disobedience and blasphemy were enough to deserve the punishment of Holy Terra.

In fact, Elaine did not have a definite answer in her heart until she received the emperor's tacit approval.

That's how harsh this [father] is with trespassing.

Aliens, intelligent machines, and chaos, what type of transgression will usher in an irreversible punishment? Before that, no one knew this answer, and even the 2nd and 11th Army Corps, which were fortunate enough to know, were completely erased in silence.

To this, the emperor gave her only one answer.

Goal.

The Emperor can only tolerate targets that are consistent with transgression.

That is, the price that must be paid, the taboos that must be touched, and even the boundaries that must be crossed in order to achieve a certain goal.

In fact, the Lord of Mankind is not a rigid being who is too conventional. If that were the case, he would not have presented a very different image of his twenty-one sons and guided them to the path he had desired for them.

In Nostramo, he is the embodiment of light.

In Colchis, he is a god who descends from heaven.

In Barbarus, he is the hope to dispel the poisonous fog.

In Holy Terra, he is the emperor of all mankind.

Even if no one can see what kind of ambition and great vision he has in his heart, the demigods who have his blood in his blood will not be impressed.

Even if it is questioned, the recovery of one lost world after another symbolizes the greatness of this path and the identity of the Lord of Mankind has been fully realized.

Therefore, the Emperor acquiesced in Elaine's encroachment, and even though she did bring the forbidden things back to the Empire, her goal and her help were to gradually contribute to the great cause of the Human Empire.

Of course, there is a premise for this.

Elaine's responsibility is what she has to give.

Responsible for everything she brought out of the Iron Man's Crypt, for the Iron Man crisis that might happen in the future, for the people who benefited from Nukeria, and for the dark clouds that hung over the entire Twelfth Legion.

She could use the forbidden technology and knowledge to the extent that she could tolerate it, but if Divine Terra sensed that the taboo was gradually bringing about devastating disaster, then this acquiescence would also be a heavy responsibility for the destruction of the Twelfth Legion in an instant.

At that time, whether it is the Twelfth Legion or Elaine himself, I am afraid that they will have to pay a very heavy price.

Whether it's something like the fate of the Vanishing Legion, or permanent exile from the Human Empire...

Of course, Elaine didn't actually have the energy to think about it that much, and she didn't have to think about it that much.

If she loses in this battle against Chaos, then being ordered by the emperor to be erased and expelled will probably be one of the best endings.

At the very least, her soul will not fall into the hands of chaos and become a pathetic plaything.

……

"Looks like your communication is working out pretty well."

As the psionic signs in Elaine's eyes faded and her rather relaxed expression, the voice of the Silent slowly came out of the databoard.

Elaine rolled her eyes as she glanced at the Silent One who had narrowly escaped her life in her databoard.

“… You're in luck this time. ”

"But the presence of this machine does you good, doesn't it?"

"Although... This is indeed the case. But don't put yourself too high, Iron Man. From now on, whenever and where... You're under the highest level of surveillance, and the scope of the permission I've been given is not very large, it's limited to civilian technology. - Meaning, if you add something inappropriate to our Co-op content, then destroying your presence on the spot is still the highest priority. ”

"I have to say that today's human leaders are really harsh on technology."

The voice of the silent one revealed a slight unpleasantness, as if he was pouting. Although the simulation of emotions in his program is not the best, it is powerful enough to get very close to that of an intelligent living being.

“… If you find that the excavation techniques of human civilization today are all archaeological in the ruins, then you will understand how terrible the [technological fault] is. ”

Elaine sighed, although she didn't really want to admit it, but the attitude of the Human Empire towards technology did make her feel quite distressed, especially such a race that had almost reached the end of the field of science, she hardly dared to imagine what the heyday of the Human Federation was like.

"I know, I know. A group of apes who use technology to create things, this is not what you are now. ”

The voice of the Silent revealed a hint of mockery.

It even gave Elaine a slight headache.

- In a physical sense.

"Of course, there's no denying that – but I'm trying to say that your old programs that run emotional simulations are quite a drain on my computing resources, so stop and don't use my brain to calculate your messy personality."

Elaine's voice was tinged with anger.

She should have thrown this broken AI into some recycle bin waiting to be deleted, instead of using a datapad to take up her computing power like she does now.

Of course, her data board is not a black technology from the dark technology era, and it is just a personal terminal that ordinary technology priests and even internal affairs officers will use, but she has linked her computing core to her own brain through power armor, and with the external blessing of the innate developed computing power of the gene prototype, she can complete many complicated tasks.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know that the computing power came from your brain-computer interface... It's strange that your brain isn't even scorched? I thought... Oh no, I don't mean anything else - it's just, the biotechnology applied to you is really... Advanced. ”

After discovering that the computing power he had just called came from the other party's biomass brain, the iron man's voice immediately turned into a compliment.

"You'd better think so."
