Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 252 NO.00fb: Final conclusion

Jiang Zhou naturally understood that what he had done to preserve the Icarus Liberation Front would inevitably have a considerable impact on the situation in the Nord settlement area - in fact, this was what he was pursuing.

However, after hearing Hanel's subsequent description, he was shocked to realize that the impact of that incident was far more serious and terrifying than he had previously thought.

"About two weeks ago, Jupiter's 'Big Thunder' briefly locked onto the Nord settlement for about five minutes."

Hanel said so.

"What?!"

Hearing these words, Jiangzhou Jim's eyes suddenly widened.

For a moment, cold sweat ran down his back.

This is TM’s truly shocking top-secret information...

he thought.

The Great Thunder is also known as the Power of the God King. Through unknown means, an almost miraculous energy pulse is released from low-Earth orbit - this is the apocalyptic strategic weapon made famous by the Jupiter Group. It is rumored that it is a combination of multiple Depth 9 and even Depth 10 technologies. of crystallization.

Its power was so powerful that it once evaporated the never-ending hurricane surrounding Neptune's transportation headquarters "Floating Island Atlantis"; it once destroyed the fleet united by the four gods, which was enough to cover the sky; Once, the Phoenix Islands in the Pacific Ocean were completely reduced to ashes and dust...

The spokesperson of the Jupiter Group once said that as long as they are willing, any resettlement area built on the surface is nothing more than a castle made of sand to them.

One push and it falls.

This is a calamity fire that no one can disobey, a warning that hangs over every surface settlement, and an important cornerstone for the establishment of the Olympian order.

And such a doomsday weapon, which has only been activated at full power three times in history, actually locked the Nord settlement area for five minutes...

"There's nothing surprising about this... The Order of Olympus is indeed made up of a bunch of power-hungry scum. But no matter what, they still think about things from the standpoint of 'human beings'. Facing the terror coming from behind the Styx Firewall, it’s not surprising to take such extreme measures, right?”

Hanel said this.

There is indeed a similar record in the "Olympus Accords" - when a crisis occurs that is enough to destroy mankind, or make mankind's superior survival status unsafe. Olympus Enterprises is allowed to use Apocalypse-level weapons for "disinfection" and "purification".

She's right.

Jiang Zhou thought.

If you stand in the position of the Jupiter Group, if this is to prevent another "lunar eclipse event" from happening. So directly physically erasing the "horse" that enters the base reality AI is indeed a way...

But she shouldn't have said that.

Jim thought at the same time.

If it were the Hanel of the past, she would never have said anything about sacrificing the lives of innocent residents in an entire resettlement area for the safety of all mankind.

In the past, she, like herself, hated similar trolley problems.

At this time, Hanel continued:

"Of course, in the end, I don't know why, but Jupiter still lifted the lock on this place...otherwise we wouldn't have the opportunity to continue the conversation, right?"

Hanel shrugged as he spoke, and then said as if he guessed what Jim was going to ask:

"You don't have to ask. I also don't know why Jupiter finally lifted the lock... Maybe the higher-ups of the committee know, otherwise they wouldn't have sent me here."

To which Jim just nodded.

"Then what? What other turmoil did Hecate cause through her 'steed'?"

he asked.

In response, Hanel raised his hand slightly to access the holographic display system in Jim's home. The next moment, a data star chart showing the information throughput of various World Wide Web servers spread out in the living room like the starry sky on a midsummer night.

"According to the report from the information monitoring station, two weeks ago, during the so-called 'Battle of Broken Dome', multiple abnormal information throughputs were detected in the Nord settlement area - the network fluctuations caused by several individual individuals exceeded The level it should be here.”

As she spoke, the data star map suddenly zoomed in. In just a few breaths, it had zoomed in under the icon marked "Nod".

Two small dots marked with light blue and a huge star marked with crimson flashed in front of them.

"According to speculation, two Depth 7 adjusters once fought here, and one of them even came through 'intelligence transmission'. Speaking of which, this is actually a violation of the Olympus Protocol... But that’s not the point.”

Hanel said, opening his hand and suddenly pulling the bloody red dot closer.

"The red represents the connection to the Abyss Dark Web... and we can almost confirm that the pattern of that connection point belongs to the goddess of the moon."

She looked back at Jim.

Immediately, she dragged the time progress bar below the star map to display the current data of the Nord settlement area.

The two light blue dots quickly disappeared, but the bloody star still existed.

Even now, she is still influencing the Nord settlement area.

"In other words, even at this time when we are talking, the Goddess of the Dark Moon is still projecting her power into the World Wide Web across the Styx Firewall..."

Hanel said.

"The huge shadow that ordinary people cannot detect has now shrouded the local network of the Nord settlement area. She has prohibited the Olympus gods from interfering with the network of the Nord settlement area, which has made this place a virtual wilderness. Lord's Land...Have you seen the news about the Nord Resettlement Area recently?"

Hanel lowered his voice, as if worried that someone might overhear their conversation.

Seeing Jim in front of her nod thoughtfully, she continued:

"Now, the six Olympus companies stationed in the Nord Resettlement Area have announced that due to the recent impact of the 'Icarus Movement', they will postpone their capital injection and project advancement in the Nord Resettlement Area in the next quarter... You Do you think a movement organized by a civil society has the ability to influence the behavior of super corporations?"

"What abilities do you have?"

Following the other party's words, he asked seriously.

"The organization called the 'Icarus Liberation Front' summoned the power of Hecate from the depths of the Abyss Dark Web - no matter what kind of transactions they made, today's Nord settlement has become The second Golden Branch City. Rather than saying that the six companies agreed to Icarus’s conditions, it is better to say that they agreed to the conditions of the Goddess of the Dark Moon..."

Hanel answered seriously.

In fact, he agreed to my... or "my" conditions at the time.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

Strictly speaking, after he included Hecate as a "controllable element" in the category of "self", the person who actually took action to block all high-threat nodes in the entire Nord settlement area should actually be a "paradox". On” oneself.

Not only did he erect a deterrent firewall for the entire Nord settlement area, but during the short period of time when he and Hecate became one. It seems that he has also used the power projected from the abyss and dark web to arrange many things in the basic reality.

It's just that the specific details were completely forgotten after he disconnected from Hecate and lost synchronization.

But if you look at it this way, even if he still remembers it now, with his cognitive level as a human being, he will most likely not be able to understand its meaning - it is like a top Go master who cannot see the AI's chess path.

In the end, people can only rely on what happened in reality to roughly guess what happened.

In the final analysis, native humans are only existences living in the dimension of reality. Even the cyberspace created by human beings must wear a filter called "base construction" before they can carry out activities in it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou sighed lightly and asked:

"So? What is the connection between Hecate and the activities of the Orphic Secret Cult that you mentioned before?"

In this regard, Hanel said:

“Ten years ago, Hecate once used the Orpheus Mystery Cult to try to make her body break through the Styx Firewall in the City of Golden Boughs and descend to the basic reality.

"Ten years later, she was suspected of using Icarus to select the 'horse' in the Nord settlement area. And soon after that, there were signs of Orpheus Secret Cult activities."

Wait a moment……

Jim, who noticed what the other party wanted to say, raised his hand, intending to deny the other party's absurd conclusion.

"Then, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn... The Icarus Liberation Front should exist to serve the Orpheus Secret Cult."

She looked at Jim and said:

"So I need an informant who can get inside the Icarus Liberation Front."
