Amid the sky-filling beams and missile fire, amid the loudly shouted "May the glory of mankind live forever," countless androids descended to the ground. Although many androids were hit during descent, it did not affect the high morale of the surviving androids in the slightest.
To die for mankind, this was the androids' highest honor.
The first batch of descending androids were the YoRHa combat models led by White. They descended at high speed in combat stance.
The high-speed fighter jets only made one sharp deceleration right before touching the ground. Then, they jumped off the jets and, under White's lead, charged toward 2B's direction.
The androids who landed afterward scattered throughout various zones of the City Ruins. So even directly parachuted onto the fifteen Engels units.
Before departure, they had brought a large amount of heavy equipnt and soon focused their fire and destroyed several Engels large-scale chanical weapons.
Seeing the androids slaughtering the chanical lifeforms they had brought along as if mowing grass, Adam and Eve were not flustered, even showing no emotional fluctuation at all.
These ordinary chanical lifeforms dying was no big deal. To chanical lifeforms with vast manufacturing plants, as long as surface resources were not exhausted, they could have as many chanical lifeforms as they wanted, truly endless, limitless.
Adam now only felt regret and annoyance. Regret that he didn't manage to catch or kill the human nad Aiden, because now he understood, androids with a human present would be even harder to deal with.
And annoyance that, perhaps because he desired too much to beco human, his thinking was also affected, developing emotions that were negative for chanical lifeforms, naly, arrogance.
"But having this kind of emotion doesn't seem too bad either. After all, according to the records, humanity was an arrogant race," Adam murmured.
Then he looked at Aiden, who was being protected in the middle by A2 and the others, considering whether to continue taking action.
Due to the terrain, the number of androids who had landed nearby was not many, and in the short term still couldn't break through the heavy encirclent he had set up.
Suddenly, he recalled a phrase he had once seen, "Seek wealth amidst danger."
So he glanced at his brother, who also nodded. The two brothers had mutual understanding, just one look and they knew what the other wanted to do.
In the next second, the two rushed toward A2 and the others from left and right. The chanical lifeforms behind them also began to move.
Without much thinking ability, they had no reaction to the destruction of their comrades by androids, they only knew to obey the commands of Adam and Eve, who were far superior to them.
Seeing the chanical lifeforms approaching them, A2 knew that the two brothers Adam and Eve were ready to go all in. She couldn't help but feel nervous and focused all her attention on them.
However, just at the instant the two were about to strike, a convoy suddenly appeared on the main road of the City Ruins. And on top of the leading off-road vehicle stood the leader of the Resistance, Anemone.
Standing on the car roof, Anemone instantly saw A2 and the others being heavily surrounded and knew the human must be inside. She imdiately waved her small hand and shouted, "Charge through!"
Originally slowed down due to the rough terrain and chanical lifeform interference, the convoy instantly sped up. But before it could reach top speed, two figures jumped off a vehicle, charging forward with long blades in hand.
The twin sisters, Devola and Popola.
Upon learning that a human had appeared on the surface, the sisters, after scraping together all they had to buy Devola a new leg, ignored everything else and stubbornly forced their way onto a vehicle. After all, as "sinners" among the androids, even if it was to support humanity, others still thought they were unworthy.
Although in the human era, the twins were sub-administrators of the Gestalt Project, it didn't an their combat power was weak. In fact, they were even stronger than YoRHa-type B combat androids.
With explosive short-distance speed, they surpassed the convoy in the blink of an eye and charged into the encirclent of chanical lifeforms. Wherever they passed, chanical lifeforms fell one after another, none could survive even a single round.
This scene stunned the Resistance androids behind them, were these really the sa sisters they used to bully back at the camp?
The display by the twin sisters also caught the attention of Adam and Eve. Watching them break through the blockade and seeing the convoy behind them, the two imdiately stopped.
"No more chance. We're leaving," Adam said bluntly. With their current strength, they were absolutely no match for these androids.
Although as long as the chanical lifeform network still existed, they could keep resurrecting, it didn't an they couldn't truly die. There were quite a few androids with the ability to hack into the network. They had to leave imdiately.
Besides, they honestly didn't want to kill Aiden here either. After all, he was a living human.
Without any more hesitation, the two used spatial teleportation and left the City Ruins without delay.
Once they were gone, the chanical lifeforms that had lost their command fell into chaos. Most chanical lifeforms lacked independent thought and instantly broke into disorganized skirmishes. Soon, they were surrounded and counterattacked by the parachuting androids.
However, the twin sisters didn't care about that, nor about the departed Adam and Eve. They ran straight toward A2 and the others.
"The human… where is our creator?" Before even getting close, Devola shouted, her eyes scanning the group. Then her gaze turned to surprise.
As highly intelligent androids, there was no way the twins couldn't recognize the formation A2 and the others had set up to protect an important figure. And the person protected at the center turned out to be none other than Aiden, soone they were familiar with.
Seeing the surprised expressions appear on the sisters' faces at the sa ti, Aiden spread his hands and said, "As you can see, I am that human."
"This… how is that possible?" The sisters still found it hard to believe.
But then, they recalled the days they spent with Aiden. Back then, the guilt program implanted in them only didn't activate when facing Aiden.
The next mont, smiles blood on their faces, they knew, their chance to redeem themselves had co.
At this mont, the androids that parachuted down already held overwhelming advantage. Under their clearing operations, the number of androids had overtaken that of the chanical lifeforms.
The battle soon ended.
As more and more androids gathered around Aiden and the others, White stepped out from the crowd.
She didn't need to scan, she already knew who the human was. Although she was surprised that it was soone familiar, she still placed one hand behind her back and the other over her chest. With eyes full of fervor, she shouted, "Bunker Commander, White, reporting to the Supre Creator! May the glory of mankind live forever!"
At the sa ti, all the androids did the sa gesture and shouted loudly, "May the glory of mankind live forever!"
Tens of thousands, or even more androids, shouted in unison, the voices gathering together, reverberating back and forth in the City Ruins, not only causing dust on the already weathered buildings to fall in sheets, but also making Aiden's emotions surge passionately.
After taking a deep breath, Aiden walked out from behind A2 and 2B. Looking at the neatly lined-up androids standing in front of him, he opened his mouth, but for a mont, didn't know what to say.
Although he could be considered soone who had experienced big scenes before, in front of so many people, he really didn't know how to begin. He could only stand in place, frowning as he thought about what to say.
"Should I say 'you've worked hard', 'thank you for your support'? Or say, 'hello everyone, I'm a human, your creator'? None of that seems right." Aiden thought silently.
But this silence made the androids nervous. White, who stood right in front of Aiden, looked at Aiden's deeply furrowed brows and beca even more uneasy, her hand even trembled slightly. She didn't know why Aiden had this expression. After thinking a bit, she wondered, 'Could it be that support ca too late?'
Thinking of this, she felt a little wronged. She felt that her support was already fast enough. From departure to landing, it had only taken about twenty minutes. This speed was unimaginable even in the human era.
But she didn't dare to say anything, not even to guess deeply what Aiden's current expression ant. After all, he was a human, still the only human.
To the androids at this ti, he was god, the only one, the supre being in the androids' hearts. Even if he said sothing wrong or did sothing wrong in the future, to the androids, that was also right. In the end, it would only an that they had executed or understood it incorrectly.
The long silence made White even more scared. She secretly glanced at A2 and 2B, after all, they had been in contact with Aiden longer, but the two also didn't know why Aiden was acting like this, and could only show helpless expressions.
At this mont, if White weren't an android, her body might already be drenched in sweat. Even so, her internal power core was operating wildly, like a heart beating rapidly, gradually approaching overload.
Just when she couldn't bear the pressure anymore and was about to confess fault, Aiden spoke. He raised his hand, placed it on White's shoulder, and said with a calm and kind tone, "You all... have worked hard."
Although it was just a few simple words, they made all the androids relax. White even let out a long sigh of relief.
She looked at the hand placed on her shoulder and suddenly had the urge to cry, only she didn't have tear glands as such an organ.
Emotionally swaying, she bit her lip, revealing an unspeakable charm. Then, she straightened her chest even more forcefully and loudly said, "For you, our creator, all of this is worth it."
Aiden nodded. That response made him feel incomparably refreshed. But still, he was a little unaccustod to the title "creator," so he said, "This 'creator' thing, feels a bit too lofty. How about…"
After thinking for a mont, Aiden said, "How about calling 'Commander' instead? The Commander of all androids. That sounds more pleasing than 'creator.'"
"We will follow your every order, Commander." White responded imdiately.
White didn't care about the change in title. After all, in the end, as long as they followed Aiden's intentions, it would be fine. After all, he was human.
Then White asked, "What do we do next? Commander, should we first go to the Moon's human base? There are full sets of service facilities, all specially prepared for you."
Aiden didn't answer imdiately. He just looked up at the sky and saw the sun was about to set. Then he said, "Not now. Let's return to the Resistance camp first. I still have a place rented there. Mm… I rember 2B was stewing at."
In fact, Aiden said this with a sowhat negotiating tone, but to White, this was already a command. She imdiately nodded, "Understood. Then we'll accompany you, the Commander, back to the Resistance camp."
After that, she began arranging the return trip to the Resistance camp.
At this ti, A2 and the twin sisters slowly walked toward him.
"Aiden…" Looking at Aiden, the few of them suddenly beca uneasy. After all, Aiden's current identity was "human", soone they needed to look up to.
Seeing them full of unease, Aiden smiled slightly, then took A2's hand and said to everyone, "Let's go ho."
The mont he said this, A2 and the others' eyes suddenly beca bright. Then, 2B also rushed over and tightly hugged Aiden.
Watching Aiden and the others embracing each other, Yakor, who had been standing off to the side without moving, pouted slightly. Then she looked into the distance with so worry and muttered softly, "You... have you co?"
———
What exactly does it feel like to be an emperor, Aiden naturally wasn't too clear. After all, in the era he was born, even in countries that still retained constitutional monarchies, most kings had already beco mascots.
However, Aiden felt that the treatnt he was receiving now was probably similar to that of an emperor.
After White arranged the return to the Resistance camp, Aiden was invited into a vehicle. Then, accompanied by warplanes that almost blotted out the sky and a convoy stretching miles long, he was escorted back to the Resistance camp in grand fashion.
Moreover, with more androids from other orbital bases joining in, the procession beca even more massive. If one stood on top of a car and looked, it would truly be endless at a glance.
Because the procession was so massive, by the ti Aiden returned to the Resistance camp, the sky had already darkened. And because the camp could only hold a few thousand people, most androids stayed outside the camp, resting on the spot.
In the end, only a small number of androids, with White's permission, accompanied Aiden into the camp, including Anemone and Kaikas. As for A2 and the others, that went without saying.
Besides them, White also brought two android squads.
One squad was composed of combat-specialized androids, they were responsible for protecting Aiden.
The other was a group of service-type androids drawn from the human base. Just as White had previously said, after learning so long, it was finally ti to show their value.
However, perhaps because Aiden was a man, all the androids White brought… were female.
