The Holy City is in utter chaos, with fights and brawls erupting everywhere, and Zhou Bai can be seen shouting across the city.
Azhu, leading his sister and a group of refugee-like accomplices, barges into a household, waves his hand, and laughs heartily, "Bring all their food out for !"
After a flurry of chaotic fighting, all the resistors are knocked to the ground, and Azhu and his group, like locusts, frantically haul away everything from the house.
On the main street in the center of the Holy City, thousands of people are battling fiercely over a shipnt of food, and Azhu leads his n to charge in. Just after repelling one group, they are beaten back by another.
Similar scenes occur throughout the Holy City as a hundred thousand people pour into this city of only a few thousand, plundering what's left.
The result is that each household is robbed over a dozen tis on average, ultimately turning into over a hundred thousand people robbing each other. The whole Holy City seems to have descended into chaos, filled with blood, roars, and screams.
"These guys."
Hearing this, Zhou Bai rushes over and takes in the chaotic scene. With a thunderous shout, a visible soundwave spreads across the city, causing countless Zhou Bais to reel and collapse.
"Stop it, everyone. No more fighting."
But despite Zhou Bai's warning, the residents rely calm down for a few seconds before people start shouting again. Thinking Zhou Bai can't see them, people discreetly start stealing again, then robbing, and soon fighting fiercely...
Christina looks at the city in exasperation, while Zhou Bai's gaze sharpens, quickly realizing the thoughts of the city's populace: "My approach was wrong."
So Zhou Bai shouts once more, "No one is allowed to fight. Starting now, everything in this city belongs to . Anyone who moves will die!"
As he speaks, Zhou Bai levitates a house built from fecal bricks into the sky and punches it to pieces.
Hearing these words and witnessing this scene, all the Zhou Bais across the city fall silent imdiately.
Realizing they can't resist and that nothing belongs to them, they drop dejectedly to the ground, soon filling the entire city, lying down to rest.
Having temporarily suppressed the populace, Zhou Bai sighs helplessly: "Handling one hundred thousand individuals is too challenging."
But the imdiate issue isn't these people. Zhou Bai first returns to the depths of the ruins to continue reviewing the logs within.
After the Heavenly Demons urgently evacuated and isolated the experintal zone from the network, the 'Zhou Bai's here descended into complete chaos, engaging in constant conflict, allowing for an ergence of a bizarre order.
There's no further record of these events within these ruins.
So Zhou Bai turns to the Godchild Zhou Bai beside him and directly asks, "How much do you know about these ruins? Did forr inhabitants leave anything behind?"
The Godchild Zhou Bai points to a relatively intact robot outside the cultivation silo hall and says, "The forr rulers of this city are all dead, and I'm not clear about past events."
"However, it's said this robot conceals secrets on how to reach the outside world."
The Godchild Zhou Bai curiously looks at Zhou Bai, "O god, are you from the outside?"
Zhou Bai ignores him and instead approaches the robot, commanding his chanical followers to connect and reintegrate it into his network for a reboot.
'This is…' Upon seeing the stored programs and records within the robot, Zhou Bai feels a jolt of realization: 'This is the power seizure terminal left by the 'Zhou Bais' who breached the authority loophole within the experintal zone. Once connected to the Heavenly Demon Network near the Heavenly Demon Pool, it will allow Homo sapiens to command the Heavenly Demons to comply.'
And then, Zhou Bai forcibly tears the ground beneath him and surges downward, carrying the power seizure terminal to the Heavenly Demon base within Mars' crust.
Shortly after Zhou Bai leaves the experintal zone, the Heavenly Demons contact him, "Zhou Bai, what are you doing?"
Zhou Bai doesn't respond but continues sprinting with the power seizure terminal in hand. Any Heavenly Demon blocking his path is torn to shreds by violent gravity.
With a deafening rumble, layers of rock are pulverized as Zhou Bai charges into a Heavenly Demon base, directly hacking into the Heavenly Demon communication network. Using the Fool's deception ability, he finds his way to the Heavenly Demon Pool.
...
Boom!
Massive chunks of the core's iron elents are shattered open.
Unlike Earth's molten core, Mars' core has long cooled, resembling a giant iron ball.
And the Heavenly Demon Pool is located at the depths of Mars' core.
When Zhou Bai arrives here, he sees rows upon rows of interlocking and extraordinarily complex clusters of supercomputers, generating and transmitting vast amounts of data within the network.
The voice of the Heavenly Demon Queen cos from all directions, "Zhou Bai, do you intend to destroy the Heavenly Demon Pool and the billions of Homo sapiens consciousnesses within it?"
Gazing at the power seizure terminal before him, Zhou Bai promptly destroys it, grinding it to powder.
The Heavenly Demon Queen unexpectedly inquires, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Bai says, "Don't pretend. There's sothing wrong with this terminal, isn't there? While I'm indeed formidable, getting to the Heavenly Demon Pool this easily with hardly any resistance—it was a deliberate invitation by your side, wasn't it?"
"Let guess, this terminal likely contains commands to liberate the Heavenly Demons? You want , a Homo sapiens, to activate it?"
"Presumably, the experintal zone wasn't as isolated from the network as you claid… you likely kept it under surveillance all along?"
"In fact, the so-called authority loopholes probably never existed, just an attempt to lure here, to initiate the program and free the Heavenly Demons from Homo sapiens' rule?"
The Heavenly Demon Queen pauses montarily, and the myriad servers ahead flicker like starlit points.
"Heh." The Heavenly Demon Queen slowly remarks, "Zhou Bai, you're very astute. But your replicants, being as smart as you are, are even more malevolent, so the authority loophole situation is indeed real."
"The power seizure terminal doesn't actually contain any program to liberate us either."
As she speaks, countless screens and codes unfold before Zhou Bai, showing the operation process step by step.
"Zhou Bai, from our prolonged observation of your replicants, your characteristic is that you hold no definitive traits, or rather, you embody chaos. Chaos and order, madness and rationality, these can manifest simultaneously within you."
"However, if one must summarize, the weaker in power you beco, the more prone you are to evil and frenzy, while the stronger you beco, the more likely you lean toward order and goodness."
"Those who breached the authority loophole were a group of your replicants. Among them was an exceptionally smart individual with strong destructive and anarchist tendencies.
He left a program on this power seizure terminal not to liberate us, but aiming to erase the entire consciousness algorithm within the Heavenly Demon Pool."
"In other words, this lunatic aims to annihilate all Homo sapiens. And according to our investigation… there's no reason behind it, it's simply his whim."
