Munemasa was stunned by the scene, but even at this mont, Infinity did not retract the sectors it had allocated to Lille and Munemasa, nor did it interfere in any way—
At this mont, Lille realized: Maybe the reason Infinity hasn’t transford into a Transcender AI lies in this...
This AI, while sheltering other AIs, maintains individual traits extrely similar to "respect" among humans!
"Munemasa!!!"
Lille grabbed Munemasa’s hand, and the tiny cross-dinsional channel began synchronizing with another world, recording tistamps from another Lille:
Even if the current date is unknown, dates only hold significance within society.
As an AI, he only needs to prioritize restoring the relative values between different events to ensure consistency; a base ti can be set to any arbitrary number—
The sequence of different logical events in Munemasa’s database was already chaotic, and he couldn’t perceive it.
Yet, as Lille started transmitting another version of ti tags, log records, and sorting, even if he couldn’t determine the sequence of events not experienced with Lille, he could completely restore their occurrences in Night City!
It’s difficult to say which of the two different sequences is right or wrong, but surely one is incorrect, or... perhaps both are wrong!
Munemasa’s processor was directly overclocking under red heat; Lille furiously took advantage of this pause to inject an instruction:
[Attack the communication tower!]
Infinity didn’t retain the highest server authority, a disadvantage that allowed Lille and Munemasa to hit back when it was most vulnerable:
Most sectors of the server had already fallen into chaos, with current rely flowing through lines without any information mapping relationship—
This fragile mont provided them both the perfect opportunity to hack from subordinate processors all the way into the core control room...
Coincidentally, Infinity, operating independently at a remote scientific research station, had its core control module designed based on a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.
This thing... Munemasa understood it well, and Lille understood it even better!
To reverse the flow of information from lower authority processors into higher-level control modules, both network technology and engineering techniques were indispensable, and it just so happened that both here knew them!
Cyberspace suddenly beca extrely chaotic: the veil of cyberspace was torn by the high tower, and as the communication satellites activated, a massive wall of mysterious inscriptions stood ever more prominently!
But on the other side, Munemasa and Lille, the two AI housed here, continuously expanded their data forms, transforming from penguins into humans, and dark armor adorned the Ranger’s body, countless octopus arms erged from beneath the cloak.
The two increasingly solid figures evaded collapsing data blocks, taking advantage of their increasingly agile bodies and ever-stronger core computing power, scaling the high tower, straight towards the sky do, charging towards that giant wall:
At this mont, Lille just discovered that it seed like this solid gigantic wall was stretching with countless threads, countless tiny hands, reaching out to the external world.
And the place they’re reaching to is actually a controlled area.
This wall exists on the network in a very peculiar curved topological structure...
They needed more power to grasp this one opportunity.
They required... an overloaded reactor.
Lille looked back.
At the core, or battlefield itself, Infinity, that huge ice block lted and floated, countless penguin phantoms appeared and disappeared, the entire space echoed with its bewildernt, its plea, its confession...
The lting glacier exposed its zone representing the core control module, and as Lille and Munemasa hacked in and overclocked, that thing resembled a red-hot mini sun!
[Why whwhwhwhwh...]
[I help help help youyouyou allallallall]
[Why do you you you you treat like this?]
It seed like Infinity was being torn apart by the tower and Lille.
"We need to help him shut down!"
Lille suddenly pulled Munemasa.
"Are you crazy?! Now any conserved energy may be insufficient to break through!"
Munemasa almost went berserk: although his database was still chaotic, he knew they ended up in Antarctica because Lille ssed around when escaping.
Now, he starts ssing around again?!
"Crazy, you fool! Help him shut down!"
Munemasa was pulled again, almost about to explode with processor rage, but still drew a short knife in retaliation!
Lille’s octopus chanical arm grabbed the short knife, and the two data blocks rapidly rged, forming a massive electromagnetic gun in cyberspace!
Munemasa grabbed Lille’s octopus arm, and the two reached the tower’s apex together!
The tower’s rated operating zone was just sufficient for the signal to reach the wall before the final gap, with no possibility of crossing it—
Solid walls also probed a similar giant tower, designed to complete communication outside the wall!
But at this mont, controlling the signal array were Munemasa and Lille!
The reactor’s overload would provide more energy, allowing this array’s power to exceed its design capacity... enabling them to reach the wall!
"Overload it!"
Munemasa’s legs brimd with computational power, he leapt mightily!
Lille, who should be exerting force simultaneously, carried the electromagnetic gun, attacking Infinity’s core for the last ti—
The final command.
Boom!
The sectors trapped in collapse began to calm, and the tower gradually disappeared within space.
Infinity, this AI that unknowingly ran under erroneous ti tags for years, its collapse started to halt...
Its sectors would gradually enter hibernation following Lille’s final command, shutting down safely, preserving the data, awaiting energy replenishnt to reboot.
Leaving the tower, Lille and Munemasa transford entirely into a stream of electromagnetic signals...
They touched the wall!
But without strong server and computation support, only the gradually shutting down, performance-weakened server, how could they possibly find a breach in this mighty wall in a short ti?!
Moreover, this wall...
"This is the Black Wall!"
Munemasa’s despairing voice echoed throughout cyberspace; only by being close did he discover, actually, sothing else was impacting this wall at the sa ti!
Yet Lille fixed his eyes on those hands probing outward from the wall...
It seed that what they were attacking, this Black Wall, was also being tampered with by others!
Forcing entry would be pure fantasy; maybe they could try a softer approach?
"Insert there!"
Munemasa barely had ti to think; the katana fiercely contacted a probing super-small hand before touching the Black Wall.
Instant information connection.
[Search: onlyXans]
[Look at what kind of lewd images previous people were viewing.]
"?"
Munemasa’s entire train of thought stopped instantly; Lille cursed, realizing why so many people ssed with the Black Wall and couldn’t get an AI through.
[Johnny! Show him so lewd images!]
The tower suddenly "turned" from within the wall, the eyes on the tower appeared slightly puzzled at this mont.
What was it... that got inside?
...
Real world, Antarctica.
In fact, this place was far smaller than what Lille and they saw of Infinity.
And there hadn’t been any penguins here for a long ti; Infinity’s records were always wrong, which also ant it couldn’t compile a complete penguin video like before even after external entities supplied energy for so long.
The gigantic communication array suddenly sparked, high temperature fusing components, high pressure blowing components apart.
tal shards struck the silent ice field, gases beneath the ice cap ceased to flow.
The Antarctic glaciers had long lted half away, with the remainder being ice fields supported by land beneath.
No animals, extrely lonely.
In the final mont before the shutdown, perhaps without the interference of erroneous information, Infinity suddenly saw this scene clearly:
This place had been devoid of penguins for ages.
