Chapter 2576: A Black Cube

Ning Shu ran away with Jeffrey’s briefcase. He hurriedly chased after her. There were really vines everywhere.

Some of the vines were as thick as a human body. They were entangled everywhere, making it very hard for people to move inside the building.

However, Ning Shu was able to navigate smoothly through it all. She jumped over the vines and disappeared in a flash.

Ning Shu stopped. When she tried to open the briefcase, she found that she couldn’t open it at all.

Ning Shu immediately shot it with her laser gun. She wanted to destroy everything anyway.

She didn’t care if whatever was inside became broken.

Under the ravaging of the laser ray, the briefcase opened. Inside was a black cube.

It was pitch black. She didn’t know what it was.

It wasn’t big. It was only as big as a Rubik’s cube, though it was a bit heavy.

Ning Shu checked over and over again, but couldn’t find a spot from which the cube could be opened. She felt that it was one smooth piece.

Ning Shu frowned. She put it on the ground and shot it with the laser but there was no reaction.

What the hell was this? There was nothing in this world that could not be destroyed. She just hadn’t reached the critical point yet.

It definitely wouldn’t be able to keep withstanding the attack of the laser gun.

“Give me that thing,” 2333’s voice suddenly appeared in Ning Shu’s mind.

“…I thought you were supposed to be in a deep sleep. You’re awake now?” Ning Shu asked.

“In your hand is an artificial intelligence life form made by human beings. It currently hasn’t been activated, though,” 2333 explained.

“This thing probably has all the knowledge and technology of the previous super civilization condensed in it. That should be why these people need so much mental strength. They probably want to awaken this thing.”

Ning Shu suddenly felt that the object in her hand was very heavy. How could such a small thing hold so many things in it?

It was an artificial life form created by technology.

“What do you want this for?” Ning Shu asked. This kind of thing should be destroyed.

Planet Omega had gained the ability to conquer other planes by using this object, even without truly activating it.

“I’ll help you hold on to it. You might find it useful in the future,” 2333 said. “This kind of artificial intelligence core has powerful operating functions. If it’s activated, its computing is indescribably powerful.”

“You’re not going to devour this, are you?” Ning Shu asked suspiciously.

“No, I’m not planning to. With your current ability, there’s nothing you can do with it. Of course, there is nothing I can do with it either.”

“Alright.”

The black cube in Ning Shu’s hand disappeared.

“Why did the last super civilization disappear?” Ning Shu asked.

“Once a power develops to the point that it threatens the plane and exceeds the plane’s limits, the higher-ups will take action to eliminate it. If something else after it exceeds the limit, then it will be eliminated, too. It’s a constant cycle.”

Ning Shu: …

She inexplicably felt sympathy. These civilizations were harvested like garlic chives. The moment they grew tall, they would be ruthlessly cut down.

“Don’t underestimate human beings’ research ability and tireless spirit. Don’t underestimate their ambition, either,” 2333 said.

Humans didn’t have a strong body. Their skins were soft, their organs were easily broken, and a little injury could easily cost them their lives. However, they still somehow became the masters of the planes.

They could even possess the power to kill the gods.

The artificial intelligence core building began to crumble.

Ning Shu found Little Grass and said, “Let’s get out of here.”

Little Grass exerted strength, and the whole building collapsed with a boom.

Ning Shu took Little Grass’s hand and ran as quickly as she could.

The senior official’s face was livid with anger when he saw the artificial intelligence core building collapse. “Go in and find the core! You must find it!”

The entire planet had fallen into chaos. Its magnetic field was malfunctioning so its androids were either paralyzed or dysfunctional, and so were its computers.

Ning Shu ran towards home.

“Alyssa, Alyssa…” Mach waved his hands and shouted at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu hurried over.
