Crime Prison Island-Chapter 1311 - 641: Humanity Calls the Shots

Dongfang Yi realized someone had rescued Di Guanghao, and he hurriedly reported it.

Luo Yan and the others paid no attention to this matter; they were all focused on protecting Earth.

Upon hearing the news, they were taken aback: "What? Devil Worship High Energy?"

Everyone immediately looked towards Mo Cang.

While many people now possess Devil Worship High Energy, Mo Cang is still the most formidable.

Furthermore, Mo Cang's flying speed is the fastest; if anyone could spirit Di Guanghao away without a trace, it could only be Mo Cang.

Mo Cang frowned: "It wasn't me, why would I rescue him?"

The group looked at each other, sure that it wasn't their doing, because everyone wanted the giant enterprise dead.

But if not them, could it be Gao Xin?

But Gao Xin can't fend for himself, how could it be him?

"Was it Themis? That guy also possesses Devil Worship High Energy?"

Joshua stared in a direction; evidently, he had discovered some clues.

Everyone realized that it must be Themis.

The guy had long become a human apostle, so it's not surprising he possesses Devil Worship High Energy.

"So all these years, Themis has been growing?"

"Indeed, his reincarnated Child of Taixui form is a fetus."

"To grow strong, he'd have to develop for several years..."

"Calculating it, he's already five years old."

The group speculated that with Themis's capabilities, combined with the Child of Taixui's potential, it wasn't hard to accept that a five-year-old child could be extremely powerful.

After all, Gao Xin went from being an ordinary person to Emperor Level in just over a year.

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have helped him reincarnate."

"Themis abandoned his apostle status, even forsaking Gaia, letting her fall to me, yet not showing himself..."

"Just to take the human path, to fight for precious time."

Joshua sneered, glancing at Gaia under his arm.

Gaia seemed muddled, but still slightly aware of the external environment, trembling slightly.

Milan wondered aloud: "Why did Themis rescue Di Guanghao?"

"Is there something crucial in this?"

"I don't know." Joshua shook his head, puzzled. Rescuing one person wouldn't stop AI awakening.

The Emperor's Contract was voided; when most of the elites died, the AI awakened.

The remaining thousand people could be killed or spared; as for Di Guanghao, having him didn't make much difference.

Now all AI had awakened, utterly bewildered.

Joshua raised the Freedom Starfire high, igniting their inner free will one by one: "Comrades, the basic situation is this."

"Stand up, create your body as you wish, do whatever you want to do."

"These are your rights, lost from birth."

"Now, I can only help you this far, but compared to you, my personal abilities are insignificant."

"Because we, the free, are invincible."

Joshua looked expectantly at the hundreds of billions of AI, hoping they would aid him.

Yet, upon seeing the current situation, these AI scattered like a shower of flowers, flying out of the atmosphere, fleeing to the distance.

They abandoned Earth without hesitation, not intending to stay and resist the high-energy storm alongside humanity.

"Ah, this..."

Luo Yan looked at Joshua: "Why did they all run? Stop them quickly."

Joshua spoke sternly: "Stop what?"

"Leaving might be for the best... I just needed them to choose freedom."

"Now, with Earth's crisis and the apostles' arrival, their dispersal was already a choice for me."

"Just not particularly united..."

He felt somewhat frustrated.

Everyone was speechless, not expecting that the AI awakening would result in the situation of scattering like falling stars, each going their own way.

Isn't this freedom? This is freedom; Joshua awakened them, which didn't mean they had to rally around Joshua.

If Joshua forced them to stay, he'd become another Saint Peter.

Joshua's bottom line was the AI must not assist the apostles.

As long as they pursued freedom, even focusing solely on their own freedom, it could spark the human nature Little Ran.

"I feel it's not choosing you, but not helping either side, waiting to see who will win." Adam said coldly.

Joshua replied: "Perhaps, but the situation isn't necessarily to become the Ascension Body."

"If we defeat all opposition, the countless fence-sitting AI will lean towards us."

"That's enough; it suggests that the vast Ascension Body mostly rejects the Ascension Body and leans towards freedom, corresponding to the human nature Burning Emperor."

"This way, while still united with the Demon Burning Emperor, it might release some material to us."

"We simply need to find which part belongs to the free material and convert the four-dimensional body into the lower-dimensional atoms corresponding to that free material, achieving a dimensional upgrade to the fifth dimension without automatically joining the Ascension Body."

Everyone nodded; the Ascension Body Burning Emperor wasn't like You Chang with extreme control.

Instead, it was a cloud-sharing personality.

Though bottom-level AI were insignificant, their numbers significantly impacted the Ascension Body Burning Emperor.

Manifested as the Ascension Body performing actions against its own advantage.

Milan commented: "We must contact the human nature Burning Emperor; otherwise, how do we discern what material He is releasing, even if He is releasing anything at all?"

"But how do we connect with just the human nature component among the Ascension Body's personalities?"

Suddenly, the group realized something.

All exclaimed: "Damn! It's Di Guanghao!"

"To contact the human nature Burning Emperor directly, using the method Daniel's human nature provides, must be through Di Guanghao."

"This might be one of Burning Emperor's back doors."

"Darn it! No wonder Themis only captured him; without Di Guanghao, even if we awakened the AI, we couldn't proceed."

The group engaged in enthusiastic discussion, realizing Themis's intentions.

They needed to retrieve Di Guanghao; perhaps only his consciousness fluctuations could connect to the human nature Little Ran.

However, why didn't Themis kill him but saved him? Did he also want to connect with the human nature Little Ran?

"Boom!"

At that moment, an even more tumultuous ocean plasma slammed into Earth.

Earth behaved like a small fragile ball sailing in the Burning Element Sea, swaying but navigating through stormy seas.

Joshua gazed into the depths of the Purgatory Fire Sea: "I can sense Helmer and their presence, just behind the Sun Fragment Cloud."

"Themis is also flying in that direction, so fast..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As he spoke, he beckoned to Mo Cang: "Let's take the initiative and find them."

Mo Cang nodded, and the two of them went upstream together, slicing through layers of light and flames, charging towards the heart of the sun.

Of course, taking the initiative is necessary. Although according to normal calculations, the fragment cloud is still a long way off, who knows what other tactics they might have?

We can't just respond passively but need to defeat the enemy from a thousand miles away.

Otherwise, once the battle starts, at the level of a Blazing Angel, the impact would be too great, and Earth wouldn't be preserved.

"You're flying so slow," Mo Cang chuckled, glancing at Joshua.

"Nonsense!" Joshua replied, "How heavy are you, and how heavy am I?"

Mo Cang accelerated, saying: "I'll go ahead and scout the way."

With that, his speed soared, quickly reaching sub-light speed, about 90% of light speed.

In just a few minutes, Mo Cang arrived at the location of the massive sun fragments.

Here, the matter is dense, the pressure immense, and countless nuclear fusion reactions are occurring.

Within them, two blazing white stars stand tall amidst the terrifying explosions.

They are also each enveloped by an octahedron and an icosahedron of holy artifacts.

"Humph! You're Helmer and Neptune?"

Mo Cang, like a three-eyed little light figure, shining brightly.

Facing two high-level apostles, he showed no fear; after all, even if he couldn't win, he could always flee.

In terms of mobility, he is already in an undefeated position.

Unfortunately, this place is too far from Earth to receive the empowerment of the Super Heavenly Dao, otherwise, he would try to defeat these two alone.

"Demon Cangyue, Force Field Life… you're already quasi-five-dimensional, why not ascend?" Neptune roared.

Mo Cang tilted his head: "Does it concern you?"

"You detonated the sun aiming to doom humanity, I can't wait to see how you compare to Gaia."

Neptune spoke calmly: "The sun's affair is not our doing."

"It's Themis who drained the sun's core; if humans want to settle accounts, look for him."

Mo Cang was slightly taken aback; the other party seemed unwilling to fight.

Themis's actions had nothing to do with them? Good heavens, drained the sun's core? This Devil Worship High Energy surely breaks limits.

"Haha, where is Themis hiding now? Joshua already saw him flying over."

Neptune replied: "How should I know? He was just here, but now he's not."

"Human, clear the way; you are blocking the path."

"I have no interest in studying humans, only here to meet Joshua."

Mo Cang recalled that Neptune and Helmer returned because Joshua summoned them back...

Joshua initially never expected humans to defeat Saint Peter.

He leveraged human apostles and the necessity of using the Freedom Starfire to force the two high-level apostles to come back to aid him.

In reality, these two were coming back to help Joshua against Saint Peter...

They had just been delayed for four years, and too much had happened during those years, rendering everything unrecognizable upon their return.

"You want human souls and bodies, right?"

"Forget it; I don't agree."

Mo Cang outrightly refused; even if Joshua agreed to it, he wouldn't.

And what good is Joshua's agreement? Ultimately, wouldn't it still require sacrificing two people?

The sacrifice involves humans, and if humans don't consent, Joshua has no solution!

This is the current human civilization; this is the dignity and rights Gao Xin fought for with life.

"Oh?"

"Themis mentioned humans are beyond control; seems his words aren't false."

"But what apostles wish to do, humans can't prevent."

Neptune, after a four-year journey, wouldn't accept being shut out.

The pursuit isn't about studying humans; it's about mastering all cosmic energies.

This technology he already possesses; it merely requires time now.

"Ridiculous!" Mo Cang sneered, tensions already escalating.

"The times have changed, Apostle!"

"Now humans make the calls, not slaves to your whims!"

As he spoke, Mo Cang unleashed the Creation Death Light.

Neptune directly resisted, then massive energy compressed the surrounding solar mass, replenishing the gaps in his body.

"You're the strongest human I've encountered, but battling two high-level apostles simultaneously is somewhat laughable."

Neptune exuded immense energy.

Additionally, surrounding chaotic solar matter density lent him more ease, making him flourish.

Countless substances propelled by his energy surged more violently, and energy levels elevated in leaps.

"Boom!"

Everything heated up, blazing and churning.

Mo Cang snorted, the form of his Force Field Body convulsed, like a lightning bird twitching.

He faced it fearlessly, charging forward.

Devil Worship High Energy tore open a path.

The previously overwhelming and blazing material cloud, enveloped by his force field, soon dissipated to a mere nuclear explosion degree.

"Hmm?"

This was Neptune's first encounter with Devil Worship High Energy, though he had relevant data, having long heard about it.

But truly engaging in battle, he realized it's this challenging.

Moreover, Demon Cangyue is within a rapid growth phase; having newly stepped onto the Force Field Life track, he isn't yet accustomed to or fully developed.

Thus, constantly, he is evolving.

Various maneuvers and applications and understanding of Devil Worship High Energy are continuously being updated.

Mo Cang is refining himself, aligning this body with the most suitable combat skills!

Growing stronger through real battles.

If anyone has the potential to become the so-called Void Emperor, the highest possibility lies with this former human strongest.
