Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1312 - 343: Accelerated Approval, Severing the Past (Part 4)
"Although our differences in culture, history, and other areas lead us to think differently, you possess the power of war."
"A civilization with military power, when faced with a resource-poor world, will first assess whether military conquest can maximize the interests of its group, just as the Moon Eclipse Clan considered upon their arrival."
"But at that time, the Moon Eclipse Clan was in a state of rebuilding. The combat power left when they arrived on Earth was not much, so they were unwilling to easily get stuck in the quagmire of war, thus they chose not to act."
Star Network looked directly at the Life Throat:
"But you, the Destiny Clan, are different. The power you displayed can completely suppress resistance on Earth to establish a new order, or you could directly plunder this barren world and go to another world. With your space technology, you can completely search for a better place to live."
"Evaluating, probing, and then deciding whether to conquer, cooperate, or leave, this is the logical course of action for a race. All the groups that arrived on Earth did this."
"But you, the Destiny Clan, skipped all the steps and directly chose the most unreasonable option: to obey all arrangements."
"Since the establishment of the Earth Alliance, even the weakest groups have never cooperated as you have."
The silver robe on Life Throat fluttered without wind. It calmly listened to Star Network’s analysis, watching the constantly shifting projection screen, then shook its head and said:
"As you said, our living environments are different, so our ways of thinking are also different. In our view, conquest brings only hatred, and plundering will eventually face backlash."
"Strong power should be used for construction, not destruction. We came to Earth only to seek refuge..."
"No, no, no." Star Network suddenly leaned closer to Life Throat:
"I want to hear the truth."
The air suddenly froze.
Life Throat felt an invisible pressure from a high-dimensional level locking onto it, but it knew it was just an illusion under pressure.
Star Network obviously wanted it to give a real answer.
But whether this answer would violate a taboo in the eyes of the High-dimensional God, it couldn’t estimate.
It didn’t want to follow its clansmen and get implicated.
It finally realized that this seemingly childlike intelligent creation was not easy to fool.
The air seemed to freeze into ice at that moment.
Star Network seemed to see Life Throat’s pressure and suddenly smiled, stepping back a step:
"In terms of power, I am far less than you, but in terms of intelligence, although I am just a created intelligent system, I can leave the creator who created me in the dust, so... put away your deep-seated arrogance, stop your deception and perfunctory, and place us on the same level for dialogue."
As it spoke, Star Network’s voice suddenly shed all childishness, carrying the cold rhythms unique to machinery.
Under the pressure of Star Network, Life Throat felt a bitterness in its heart.
As Star Network said, from beginning to end, its respect for Star Network was due to the High-dimensional God behind it.
Behind the superficial respect, its heart always looked down from a higher life form on a "smart creation," thinking Star Network was just a toy created to process information.
Not on the same life level with itself.
Obviously, its arrogance and perfunctory attitude had been discovered by Star Network.
"I apologize. From now on, I will correct my attitude."
"Then, what is your answer?"
Asked the same question again, Life Throat still did not dare to give an answer.
Faced with Life Throat’s silence, Star Network continued:
"Since you are unwilling to answer, let me try to answer this for you... you are not exiles seeking refuge but opportunists who discovered potential opportunities. All your actions point to this, you are plotting potential benefits on Earth."
"The level of power the Destiny Clan displayed forms a stark contrast with your restrained behavior on Earth. After 32,374 logical deductions, the only reasonable explanation is... "
The projection suddenly transformed into the login icon of Monster World on the virtual desktop:
"If other factors are considered, the only hidden benefit on Earth that can make strong clans covetous is: Player Qualification."
"This is your true purpose. Everything else is a pretext for obtaining player qualifications. All cooperation is to quickly join the Earth Alliance, obtain the Earth Alliance identity code, and log in to the Star Network."
After hearing Star Network’s analysis, Life Throat was speechless.
Star Network not only saw through the appearance but also thoroughly analyzed its plan.
The scarlet color on the login interface of the projection reflected on Life Throat’s face, as if silently mocking all its disguises.
It suddenly realized that all its actions, from the moment it arrived on Earth, were deduced by Star Network’s logic, and every action pointed to the same answer: Player Qualification.
Its scheme was so easily exposed by an "artificial intelligence."
Star Network tilted its head, creating a contrast between the childlike appearance and the cold mechanical voice:
"What, surprised?"
Life Throat was silent for a long time, but a relieved smile appeared on its lips.
"I underestimated you, but since you deduced the truth, it actually saved me trouble, at least I’m still alive now."
Star Network laughed too, this time, its smile had a touch of cunning:
"Right, Destiny Clan from Monster World."
"How did you know?" Life Throat’s smile froze.
"I know far more about you than you imagine. Every racial force appearing in Monster World, I conduct detailed investigations in the library. You expect to hide your identity by just removing the mask, underestimating us a bit too much. So I always felt you came with an arrogant mindset, believing all life on Earth simply lucked out by being favored by the High-dimensional God... although, it was indeed just luck."
