Chapter 2132 – [I, Who Was Common on Earth, Am a Super Rare Species in Space?!]
Because of what we did, the Baéon provincial government suffered from several scandals. It is natural that he made a fuss while other people were watching.
Charges of forcible restraint of human subjects and human earth registration. In the Ayanean civilization, where human values are high and must be protected externally, this is a problem that requires the person in charge to resign.
-I want to know the truth about the forced human detention incident that occurred this time!!!!
-I heard that the human victim in question married a bionic!!! Didn’t she forcefully proceed because she thought there was a possibility of settling down with him?!
-Because of this, the Task Force and Noidera governments have been directly demanding the truth of the situation and applying diplomatic pressure through the Human government!!! How will you deal with this!!!!!
It’s the space age, but it’s a shame for a reporter obsessed with a scoop to bite like a piranha. Even though people are dogs, they are good at me.
One thing that is surprising is that my identity is not known. First, because they are humans, their personal information is kept confidential in case of an emergency, and on the other hand, it is because the Beon Castle government is trying to prevent leaks as much as possible.
As soon as my identity is known, you won’t be able to steal it. Although Lulu did it out of frustration, she gave him an excuse by saying that he would be arrested if he did not cooperate, and in addition, there is Mother Plant data obtained from Mr. Fuzu, so it cannot be clearly disclosed to the public.
The moment the inside story is revealed, it will become even more messed up than it is now… Well, I think the people on the Human Earth will be quite happy to see the Beon Castle government in trouble.
“But what are you going to do once you gather all the negotiation materials?”
“It is much better for this civilization to improve through its own purification process than to summon the Great Demon Lord. First, we will collect negotiation materials and deliver them to the Melnos system, and through that, we will discuss improving the freedom and rights of the human race.”
“Oh, it’s more peaceful than I thought. I thought the Great Demon Lord’s work would be handled with a little more force.”
“It’s not like we’re destroying civilization just because we’re all happy about it. We only do it when we think, ‘These bastards are really being lazy.’ If you look at that utopia, they have sentiments but no physical evidence, so they’re not deliberately going around in circles by calling me.”
When Utopia was at its peak, he was the only one who called and judged the meeting, but the excuse was that at the time, he was the only Great Demon King who would participate in the meeting.
It may be absurd, but even utopias adhere to the minimum principles. If we hadn’t done that, we would have been kicked out as the Great Demon King long ago and one of us would have been in trouble.
“But aren’t you being too optimistic?”
“Huh? What?”
“Even if we bring each race’s negotiation material and blow it up, there is no guarantee that they will listen. Rather, there is a possibility that they will unite and say, ‘So what?’ And cast a red flag.”
“…”
I was silent for many reasons. However, this silence is not because we did not consider the possibility that Lulu mentioned, but because in that case, it is truly the worst outcome.
One of the issues that the Great Demon Lords consider important is whether or not to reflect. Like Germany, even if you have past sins related to the Nazi issue, you will be given one chance if you reflect on it. Of course, even if we couldn’t solve the compensation issue, isn’t it better than not reflecting at least?
But what if you don’t reflect? Well, at that time, I was screwed in many ways.
“Oh, looking at it, it’s not like I didn’t think about it. It really seems like the worst option.”
“Of course.”
If they don’t reflect, then I won’t tolerate it either. Utopia was left alone because there was no solid physical evidence, but to me, the Great Demon King in charge of society, the hypocrisy of not abiding by the laws they told us not to do and their attitude of not reflecting on it are enough to be called out.
People who make mistakes but don’t reflect on them or even think about fixing them are not worthy of existence. If that happens, I will definitely be found guilty.
Oh, of course, only for the three races. In the case of humans… Well. I think they would either destroy them all and tell them to develop on their own, or recommend that they move somewhere else.
“But what should we do now? No matter how difficult the situation is, the Beon Castle government will come after us.”
“Then, you can sneak in by saying that you are being chased by other races and asking for protection. If you say that you felt grateful there and secretly express your intention to settle down there, won’t they show you various things and take you on a tour of the Human Earth?”
“Hey!!!! That’s good!!! I think my IQ is 160!!!!!”
“I think we caught less…”
Anyway, we decided to decide on our next destination. Now that I’ve looked at Bionics, the next step is either Test or Noidera, and I decided to visit the closest Test.
Unlike bionics, which became a new race through development with a focus on biotechnology, this is a race that turned human minds into data through machines and became machine life forms. There are various concerns and questions arising from that.
“Do they have souls?”
“I don’t know, maybe I should go and see.”
Just because it doesn’t have a soul doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a heart, but in a dimensional civilization, one of the things that is necessary for such mechanical life forms to be recognized as a species is the presence or absence of a soul.
In the case of the Pioneer, Gilhyeon was treated as a dimensional refugee, so during the process, it was confirmed that he had a soul, and he was registered as a mechanical life form there as well. I wonder what it would be like here.
Of course, just because it doesn’t have a soul doesn’t mean we look at it with discriminatory eyes. If that were the case, they would have viewed Eve negatively and distanced themselves from her when she was just born and was just soulless artificial intelligence. I am not the kind of person who discriminates based on the presence or absence of a soul.
And we separately sent a message to visit there. Even if you are sailing after warping, you have reached the Aion star system, the territory of the Tasks, so if you spread radio waves appropriately, an appropriate opponent nearby will receive it.
-This is a battle cruiser belonging to the 2nd Fleet under the Aion Government Space Command. Please state the identity and affiliation of your vessel.
“My name is Worst. I am a human from the Melnos star system.”
-Impersonating a human being is a felony. I will give you one last warning before checking your ID. Please identify yourself.
“I am not an impersonator, but a real human. After visiting Beon Castle with my wife in the Melnos system, I was almost forcibly arrested there, but managed to escape with the help of her wife. I therefore request the Tesque government to protect my person. .”
-… We will check the facts and check your identity. Please disarm and wait.
They didn’t believe me at first when I heard that they were humans, but when I persuaded them by mentioning what happened at Beon Castle, they also started to check the facts.
At least what happened was real and what almost happened to us wasn’t a complete lie, so it will be difficult to figure out the truth from the other side. Even if communication had been easy in the first place, it would have been difficult, so what if the relationship is bad?
– Confirmed. Human Worst from the Melnos star system, and Bionic Lulu from the same background. Are you sure that you crossed over to the Aion system due to the incident at Beon Castle?
“Yes, I am.”
-You felt your safety was in danger and requested personal protection from the Aion government. Is it true that you requested it out of your own will and not under anyone’s coercion?
“That’s right.”
-I will check one last time. Since you requested personal protection, you two will be transported to Aion Castle. Do you agree with this?
“Yes, I agree.”
There are a lot of things you have to ask and check, like agreeing to the site membership terms and conditions, but it is something that can be understood. As if they were embroiled in a big scandal due to the fact that we were forcibly detained in Beon Castle and almost taken to the Human Earth, it is a serious crime to try to force the Humans to join them.
… If you look at them, they only gave us material satisfaction and did not give us freedom. Perhaps they banned it because then the three races would fight over the remaining humans, even risking their lives?
Anyway, by agreeing to various procedures, we were able to receive the protection of the task force. Afterward, Task’s spaceship flew in and landed our Arpone through the ship’s hangar.
“Maybe it’s because we are a machine race called Task. The ship seems to be made stiff and efficient. But if we are a machine race in the first place, don’t we need internal space or something like that?”
“They say they are the successors to human civilization, so aren’t they deliberately pursuing inefficiencies?”
“Well, I guess that’s true.”
When I first saw them after getting off Arpone, they looked like robots.
Since it is the same mechanical life form, I was thinking of a robot like Pioneer, but it is different. Pioneer also belongs to robots and humanoids, but among the two, it was Taskus who had a more human-like appearance.
For example, in the case of Pioneer, if you dress it up a bit, it can be dressed up as a Gundam or similar robot, but in that case, anyone can see it as a robot. However, the tasks in front of us now look similar to humans in terms of their balanced bodies, curves, and appearance.
It seems that genders are also divided based on external characteristics. Moreover, since he is taking off all his clothes, he looks like he is naked… It looks like something robot people would like.
“Welcome, Worst, and Lulu. As of now, my name is Tenia, and I am the captain of the ship Niard that will protect you two.”
“Nice to meet you. And thank you for responding to my sudden request for protection.”
“No. Protecting humans is our duty. The actions of bionics who have abandoned that responsibility deserve to be condemned. You can rest assured now.”
Thesks were bipedal, had two arms, had heads, and had body curves much closer to those of humans, but were missing several important body organs. What was visible was something that looked like glass or eye light, and it looked like it was wearing a mask without any organs such as a nose or mouth.
Although the machine took on the appearance of an inefficient human, that did not mean that its combat power was weak. Since it was a battleship, the crew were probably all soldiers, but there were also task forces with combat abilities similar to or greater than those who had been watching us at Beon Castle before.
Moreover, since this is a machine, when it starts using other aircraft or weapons, it treats it as if it were its own limbs… This is why it can fight against things like bionics and other biological weapons.
“I would like to ask you a few questions to determine some circumstances. Do you mind?”
“Yes, they say they will protect you, but I have to give you that much.”
First, Lulu was investigated separately, possibly because she was disguised as a bionic. However, he has already spoken to us on the way, so there is no problem.
And while answering their questions, I quietly threw firewood to the bionics side to start the fire. Now that we haven’t said anything, and it is known based on the testimony of eyewitnesses at the time, we are somehow holding on, but if we say anything, the Beon Province government will be even more shaken than it is now.
“I would like to ask about the Baeon government’s attempt to arrest Mr. Worst. Do you know the cause and effect of the incident?”
“Ah, I didn’t know because I was so confused and embarrassed at the time, but after talking to my wife later, I became clear. First, I had visited the human district of Beon Castle at the time.”
“Is that why the Baeon government tried to force Worst to settle down?”
“No, precisely because of the person I met on the Human Earth. It was my first time meeting a human living in another star system, so I was excited and started socializing… I ended up chatting briefly with someone I met through a friend I made there. But that person had a history of trying to escape from Human Earth.”
“…”
“It seems that he was using my contact with him as an excuse to investigate me and naturally try to force him to settle the human Earth. When I was away, he threatened my wife like that.”
“Is that so?”
No matter how much we have developed into a machine life form, if I, a transcendent person, mix truth and lies, there is no way the other side can grasp the truth. Even if you ask Lulu, you will get a similar or identical answer.
At best, I would have to request cooperation from the Beon Castle government and cross-verify it to find out that something is a bit strange… While they are bickering with each other and Beon Castle is suffering from scandal, can you tell the task force information that could be a weakness? It can’t be.
Thanks to this, the interrogation ended without any problems. Lulu also asked the same questions, so she was able to join right away.
“Did it end well?”
“Yes, they just asked a few questions. What about that?”
“I was told to do a physical examination. So I gave it a proper treatment.”
If you do a detailed examination, you will find out that Lulu has an overwhelming body that can be used to create bionics and such, but it seems that she was hidden by adjusting it separately to make it appear at an appropriate level. There is no way Bloodier, whose body can freely transform, cannot do something like that.
Anyway, now that the inspection is over, we can now enter Aion Castle, the home of the Tasks. Since it is a completely different star system, I thought the environment would be different, but the contrast between Aion Castle and Beon Castle is great because it has the opposite environment.
While that was an ice planet that was problematic because it was cold, this was a desert planet that was problematic because it was hot. The environment was desolate, with no trace of the sea, but on the other hand, cities that were divided and planned like machines filled the wasteland.
“But they don’t have a soul. Are you okay?”
“I’m not a person who is prejudiced against such things.”
… But I don’t know why I feel ominous here too.
