Chapter 302: Steve
"The Supreme Intelligence communication... is restored!?"
As the communication device lit up, the high-ranking officials of the Kree Empire all showed expressions of surprise, and a few of them even heaved a sigh of relief, "That's great, now we have a solution."
"Yes, just listen to the Supreme Intelligence's command."
A few slightly frail Kree people also nodded and echoed, "The commands of the Supreme Intelligence have never been wrong, we just need to follow them."
"Hurry and turn on the communicator."
A burly Kree man holding a high-tech battle ax immediately waved his hand.
Soon the communicator was turned on, and the command of the Supreme Intelligence was transmitted. Since the Supreme Intelligence is akin to artificial intelligence, the command was not a video but simply a text.
The text itself didn't contain much information.
Just a short sentence.
"All high-ranking officials of the Kree Empire, please take note, proceed immediately to the temple and surrender unconditionally to the invader."
"What!?"
Upon seeing this command.
The high-ranking Kree officials were in an uproar.
"How can this be?!" one of the Kree officials saw the command and immediately showed a disbelieving expression, "What's going on with the Supreme Intelligence? How can we surrender unconditionally?"
"Yes!"
Immediately someone else couldn't help but burst out angrily, "The Kree Empire is the most powerful military empire, even capable of waging war against both the Nova Corps and the Skrull civilization... How can we surrender so easily? What is going on with the Supreme Intelligence?"
"Do you think... the Supreme Intelligence might have been threatened?"
Another official pondered and said, "It is the supreme deity that governs everything in our Kree civilization, but clearly, it is also a being with its own thoughts. Do you think the Supreme Intelligence might be scared?"
"In my opinion, it's more likely it has short-circuited."
A Kree official with two metal ornaments on his head snorted coldly, "The Supreme Intelligence is artificial intelligence. Now, the scale of the water released by the invader is so vast it could turn this place into an oceanic planet. The temple of the Supreme Intelligence has been submerged for three hours already. Who knows if it has short-circuited..."
"I don't care, I cannot accept the decision of the Supreme Intelligence!"
The initial Kree official spoke again, "Even if we are to surrender, it's impossible to go to the temple now. Each one of us is the highest elite of the Kree civilization. If the invader kills us all... then the Kree Empire is truly finished!"
"The Supreme Intelligence has already uploaded its original data to the server, as long as we are alive, we can create a new Supreme Intelligence anytime."
"Right! We must find a way to survive!"
"Exactly! We are the future of Kree civilization... Only if we survive, the Kree Empire will not perish."
The crowd argued noisily, nearly everyone pointing the finger at the Supreme Intelligence, the empire's artificial intelligence that they had once respected, now showing a completely different attitude from the beginning.
"..."
And the fleet commander and Alisu just watched them, not saying a word.
Alisu simply didn't want to bother with them.
And the fleet commander knew that even if he gave orders now, it would be useless. The moment they decided to defy the Supreme Intelligence's command, the entire power structure of the empire had already begun to crumble.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
The Supreme Intelligence is a deity created by the people of Kree.
They created the deity for their benefit, but when the deity could no longer bring them benefits, instead bringing calamity and death, they were willing to abandon it.
The so-called deity...
Of course, it could be discarded.
Upon realizing the futility of the situation, the fleet commander sighed helplessly and let them act on their own.
[System Prompt: New module characteristic detected, research to gain download permission.]
Hearing the system prompt, Fang Mo stopped his dismantling and began to examine the temple's interior.
It must be said, the temple built by the Kree was indeed magnificent. Even now submerged in water, it looked beautiful, having a kind of religious aesthetic, like the classical cathedrals on Earth, only this structure was entirely metallic.
Fang Mo took a brief tour inside the temple and soon found something like an altar.
He recognized it.
It seemed to be a device for communicating with the highest wisdom.
In the original Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers communicated with the Supreme Intelligence using this.
Fang Mo wondered if the module might be triggered by this device and walked straight to the altar.
When he stood on the altar, a pale blue liquid metal surged from the glass panel below, and this living metal began to extend upwards slowly, turning into something like a neural signal connector, covering Fang Mo's fingertips, wrists, temples, etc.
Fang Mo, feeling the electrical signals from the living metal, relaxed his mind.
Quickly.
A mental link was established between them.
When Fang Mo opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast space.
He was standing on a flat metallic platform, surrounded by an endless black sea, the sky covered in heavy lead-grey clouds, with only a few strands of light barely penetrating, trying to illuminate this dim world.
While Fang Mo was observing his surroundings.
Suddenly, a beam of light struck down vertically above the sea in front of him, the water boiled, and a young figure slowly emerged.
"Hmm?"
This sudden appearance attracted Fang Mo's attention, so he instinctively glanced at the other.
The figure was a young girl.
Fang Mo's first impression of her was delicate.
The girl looked very small, with tiny, pale hands, wrists, and ankles, and even her shoulders seemed narrow.
She was wearing a pure white short-sleeved nightdress, her hair black, but seemingly softer and fluffier than normal, draping softly behind her, about waist length, with long, slightly messy bangs, making her face look small and somewhat serene.
As for her features, first, her skin was really white.
But it looked somewhat unhealthy, as it was a bloodless pale.
Her eyes were curved like crescents, eyelashes slightly curling upwards, giving a cute impression, though she seemed to have dark circles. Her small nose, thin lips were slightly pursed, also looking pale.
She was wearing pure white stockings on her legs, barefoot, standing on the cold metallic floor.
Fang Mo took a brief look.
For some reason, he felt a strange sense of dj vu.
Truthfully, he hadn't seen this girl before. Given her cute, albeit somewhat gloomy appearance and unexpectedly high beauty, it was something Fang Mo would have remembered if he had seen before.
Clearly, such a person couldn't exist in reality.
Probably only in some anime world would there be such a high beauty.
"...Supreme Intelligence?"
After pondering for a while, Fang Mo took the initiative to ask.
"Yes." The girl nodded gently, her voice soft and pleasant: "May I ask... how should I address you?"
"You can call me Hubby," Fang Mo said.
