Chapter 365: Right, I’m An Artificial Person

At this moment, the artificial form Chosen Ones, who had just spoken to the director’s assistants in the dark by cutting off the company director’s communication code, heaved a sigh of relief and put down the communication device without changing his expression.
He also had a leaflet printed with the slogan “be one with assimilator”, but this was the only one, and he had made it himself.
He was a Chosen One with extremely strong psionic power. With the help of the special psionic amplifier in his body, he could control others directly through the communication device.
Psionic power was extremely scarce in this megacorp galaxy, and Psionites were even rarer. Even military facilities rarely protected psionic power.
Because of this, with just one call, he issued the order to destroy the fleet in the name of those director’s assistants.
These director’s assistants who were hidden in the dark were scattered in various confidential areas and were directly responsible to the director himself. They were usually hidden and ordinary employees, but at the critical moment, they could act on behalf of the director and had extremely high authority given by the director.
However, the directors of the megacorp obviously didn’t expect that the spies they left behind to control the huge corporation had now become an important part of the collapse of the Corporate Empire.
“…So as you can see, we are reshaping this Imperium our way.”
The miner was also bathed in the nanorobotic storm. Having undergone artificial forms long ago, he did not become the target of these nanobots. However, this did not stop him from feeling shocked.
In fact, in his eyes, the Assimilation Fighters had always been rather mild. His past experiences made him think that his companions were a group of peacemakers who advocated saving people from hardships. They liked to make others agree with their ideals through subtle changes.
His companions had never mentioned their strength to him, and he thought that it was because his companions were too embarrassed to reveal their weak strength.
However, it seemed that he had made a mistake by not going to the database shared by his companions to check it carefully.
How was this a moderate pacifist? Some people called this behavior of ignoring an individual’s will and directly integrating into the consciousness network a cruel act of mind control, and his companions called it efficient.
However, the miner wasn’t afraid of his companion because of this. Instead, he became even more fanatical.
After experiencing successive disparities in megacorp society, he also understood that this was no longer an ordinary society. He had to hit hard.
“This is the Colossus—the Nano Plague. It can assimilate all lifeforms into one of us. In this way, the estrangement will no longer exist, and this place will become the world we want.”
His companion explained to him what the purpose of the huge spaceship in the sky was. However, the miners were more concerned about how such a huge spaceship could swagger into the sky above the planet. How far had their infiltration progressed?
“These…” His companion’s expression was a little strange.
“It’s okay. You’ll find out soon enough.”
At the same time as the chaos on many planets, every director was losing contact with those assistant directors.
Finally, one of them could no longer bear the feeling of being blind. He dialed an ordinary communication, and this time, he successfully replied.
“Hello? Is this the boss? Why are you looking for me now…”
The person on the other end of the communication device spoke very softly, and there was a lot of noise. It was as if a group of people was having a meeting.
However, the director naturally did not care about this. As soon as he picked up the call, he scolded,
“What happened recently?! What kind of leader are you?! Do you know how much losses the company suffered this time? If you can’t give an explanation, your position as leader and your organization will end!”
The director’s words were shocking, but the other directors were indifferent. Clearly, everyone knew that the current leader of the Sentry was actually an undercover agent of the company.
Faced with his superior’s questioning, the leader of the Sentry didn’t know what to say. This was because they were currently discussing this riot of unknown origin.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, the leader could only say, “I’m not sure either. I can only confirm that we didn’t do it. You know that we don’t have that much power…”
Although this answer did not satisfy the director, it also made him recover from his anger. He realized that with the appearance of the Sentry organization in the galaxy, it was definitely impossible to do this.
Therefore, a thought that they had not had for a long time appeared in their hearts again.
“There’s an enemy?”
This guess popped up in every director’s mind at the same time, and they quickly confirmed it as the truth.
In order to ensure the safe hatching of the egg in the galaxy, that civilization had carried out a great purge of the entire galaxy. The corporations themselves had always maintained perfect control over their rule. Even though they had slacked off in recent years, they had never found any similar clues.
And this was the only possibility that the other party could cause such a level of riot without anyone knowing.
After unifying their targets, this group of old fogeys, who hadn’t moved for a long time, began to use their authority. Although they couldn’t contact the fleet docked in the spaceport, those patrolling the universe were still under their control.
Although the number was not much, it was enough to provide them with a certain level of information. It was enough to make them no longer blind.
Hence, after receiving the order from the board of directors, the fleets that were patrolling all over the place came to the starfields that had lost contact.
They maintained contact with the board of directors and transmitted the images they detected back to headquarters at all times.
After arriving at one of the missing galaxies, the board of directors finally understood what the foreign enemy was.
In the scene captured by the fleet, a huge ring-shaped spaceship was releasing an unknown light beam at one of their planets.
Although the effect was unknown, the board of directors knew that it was this thing that made them lose contact with the galaxy.
Judging from the size of the spaceship, the directors, who were familiar with the military armament of the company, immediately thought of a type of planet annihilation spaceship. There were similar battleships in the company.
However, because it had been too long since they had experienced a war that required the use of planetary obliteration weapons, over time, this kind of battleship had been modified into a special spaceship used to inject eggs into planets.
Even so, they understood that it was not a natural disaster that had invaded their galaxy and caused huge losses to them, but another civilization from outside the galaxy.
“Are they really outsiders? That’s good. Since they can come here, they can probably return. As long as we obtain this method, we can open up a new alien market.”
After realizing that the other party was a civilization, a certain director did not panic. Instead, he was eager to give it a try. Visible greed appeared in the illusory projection.
They had been trapped in this galaxy for a long time. Perhaps that civilization had done this on purpose. No matter how hard their scientists tried, they could not find a way to cross the galaxy. They could only cultivate eggs for that civilization for eternity.
Now that a brand new hope was placed in front of them, how could they not be tempted?
It was also at this moment that another director of the board of directors smiled and said,
“Even without the battleship, we still have the absolute advantage of being invincible. That is…”
“It’s an object that destroys countless civilizations. Even the lost empire can only disappear from their mouths in unwillingness. It’s a servant of the great Hunter—a Void Evil born deep in the planet!”
“That’s right! As long as we still have the means to temporarily control this life, no one can defeat us!”
The directors were quite proud when they said these words, because this was indeed their greatest achievement in thousands of years.
In their original plan, they would suddenly attack the next time the Hunter civilization came here to take away the Void Evil. They would use the Void Evil they controlled to kill the Hunter’s envoy and seize the means to completely control the Void Evil and the method to move across the galaxy.
“It’s a pity that it will most likely be used at this time… But that’s good too. We can personally test the strength of these terrifying lifeforms… Let’s use that invader as a sacrifice.”
Many directors began to discuss the battle strategy, as if they were determined to win.
The headquarters they were in was absolutely top-secret. Only the people of the highest class could live here. These people were the biggest beneficiaries of the company’s interests. They were in line with the direction of the company and would never betray the company. Therefore, they were absolutely confident in the security here.
As long as they accelerate the incubation of those Void Evil here, they would be able to have a huge temporary lifeform fleet in a short period of time.
However, the prerequisite for all of this was that this place was really as unbreakable as they thought.
Just as they were happily discussing how to launch a new round of circle movement outside the galaxy, a fleet suddenly warped here and surrounded their headquarters, a small circular world. To be precise, it was a planetary ring base.
In the panic, these directors tried to escape on the spaceships, but they were stopped one by one. Some of them were about to immediately undergo a body transformation to turn themselves into another person to escape the calamity, but they were stopped by their servants.
When these directors were caught together, one of them suddenly broke free from the restraints and chatted happily with the invaders, completely acting as if they were familiar with each other.
It was only then that they realized that they had long been infiltrated into sieves. Even the company’s decision-making level had a mole. What had happened to the Sentry was replayed for them.
One of the directors shouted, “You traitor, you betrayed us!”
However, the “director” slowly took off his “head” and threw it in front of the director. He closed his mouth and said, “I’m sorry, I’m actually an Assimilation Fighter..”
