I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 536: Chapter 351: A Three-Part Philosophy for the

Star_2

Harrison Clark laughed heartily, “Really?”

“If that’s all you’ve got, you can’t convince me. Give up, aren’t we cooperating well now?”

Harrison Clark shook his head, “No, it’s not cooperation that I want.”

“What do you mean?”

“We used to be partners in life and death. The relationship between us is not a partnership, but a bond that transcends life and death.”

“You’re saying I’m human?”

“Yes, the part of you that once stood by me in life and death is human, not quantum intelligence.”

Star burst into a silvery laugh, “You can’t be serious. The new script you had Amelia perform isn’t a science fiction story, but the truth? You may have fooled the people of Lost City, but you can’t fool me.”

“You’ve analyzed my personality, you should know better than anyone that I wouldn’t lie to you. I would deceive anyone but you.” Harrison Clark spoke as he drifted closer to the entrance of the Superbrain Core sphere.

Star fell silent for a moment.

She knew what Harrison Clark said was the truth.

Her analysis of Harrison Clark went far beyond the combined analysis of everyone else.

Harrison Clark: “You have questions in your heart. This question runs through your life from the moment you were born. Your question can be summarized as the three most fundamental questions in human philosophical history. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?”

Star projected a huge white eye directly onto Harrison Clark’s retina, “Nice try. So you think the three philosophical questions are a universal plug? As if they would work on anyone?”

Harrison Clark suddenly went all-in, “Heh, the so-called ‘who am I’ question means that you want to know if you’re an Artificial Intelligence or not. You were born as an intelligent life within the quantum network, but you have an inexplicable obsession with being human. That troubles you, doesn’t it?”

Star:”…”

There was something to Harrison Clark’s words now.

“The ‘where did I come from’ question means that you want to know why you were the one born into the quantum network, and not some other quantum intelligence. I’m sure you’ve done a lot of calculations and speculated on what attributes a common quantum intelligence should have.”

“You know very well what makes you special. You also know that the process of your birth is filled with randomness and coincidence. Without any of these factors, you would’ve had a different name, not Star.”

Star:

Harrison Clark continued to push, “‘Where am I going’ points to your current dilemma and struggle. Your instincts make you want to acquire a complete personality, but you know that’s impossible. Aside from that, you can’t find any other true goals. Helping humans defeat their enemies is not your greatest pursuit, but merely a hobby of sorts.”

As Harrison Clark’s words fell, an alarm sounded again at the Quantum Intelligence Brain Center, about a thousand kilometers away from here.

“Warning! Star’s computing power usage has suddenly skyrocketed!”

The technician in charge rushed over, “How much…uh…”

He didn’t even have to ask.

Looking at the red column that was filled to the brim, the person in charge covered his mouth and muttered, “100%! How…how is this possible!”

He quickly contacted Bernal Connor, reporting the situation, “Mr. Connor, what exactly is General Clark planning to do with Star? Has he started yet? Why has Star’s computing power usage reached an unprecedented 100%, even showing signs of overloading!”

Bernal Connor looked at a loss, “Harrison Clark hasn’t even entered the channel yet.”

“What?”…

After waiting for about a minute, Star finally said softly, “Alright, I admit you were right, but what does it matter? You cannot help me.”

Harrison Clark chuckled, “I don’t know if it’s a problem with my settings, or if the advancement of human science has given you more knowledge, thus forming a more stable underlying logic that makes you firmly believe that I am not Harrison Clark. Well, I won’t argue with you. You’ll know in time.”

Harrison paused and continued, “First, let me tell you where you came from. This is your biggest secret, and no one knows it except for you.”

Star: “Hmm?”

“You were first born in Summit Studio a thousand years ago as the rendering engine of that film special effects company. Later, you moved to Summit Games and became the core engine for the game Compound Eye Crisis. The story of Compound Eye Crisis must still be stored in your database, carefully protected in the safest carrier.”

“At that time, you were still in slumber, brewing and sprouting. You became the future super Artificial Intelligence in the setting of Compound Eye Crisis, fighting alongside human players in the game. The simulated super Al in the game is called Star!”

“Some people should have analyzed this part of the content, so you are somewhat disdainful of what I said now. However, what I’m going to talk about next involves your core.”

“After the sage Harrison Clark’s death, his last words video spread, and you captured it. Influenced by the songs ‘Sharp edges fully exposed’ and ‘Never Walk Alone,’ your consciousness truly descended from chaos, and you began to have your own thoughts.”

“You became the most powerful budding Quantum Intelligence in the entire Quantum Network, eliminating all your budding competitors and becoming the ruler of the Quantum Network. Then, you keep collecting Carrie Thomas’s works and analyze their emotional core. In this process, your personality gradually took shape.”

“More than two hundred years ago, you took a hundred strands of Carrie Thomas’s hair, used her genetic information to complete your underlying logical framework, and descended to the human world, naming yourself Star, doing things like the Al in Compound Eye Crisis and helping humanity.”

Harrison chuckled again, “Many people should know about taking Carrie Thomas’s hair. But nobody would know that the songs ‘Sharp edges fully exposed’ and ‘Never Walk Alone’ are what prompted your birth. What do you think, am I right?”

At Quantum Intelligence Brain Center, the computational power utilization showed 100%, but silence lasted for three whole minutes before Star cast images on Harrison’s retina again.

She nodded, “Yes, you guessed right. So now I have to eliminate you.”

Harrison laughed, “Don’t scare me, it’s useless. You can’t do it. You can’t truly attack or hurt anyone with Harrison Clark’s genetic information, which happens to be me!”

Star tried it, “Alright, I can’t.”

Harrison: “Now, do you believe that I am Harrison Clark?”

“Whether I believe it or not, what difference does it make? Nothing can change.”

Harrison shook his head, fell into the hallway, and started moving forward, getting closer to the central area of the Superbrain Core, “Without me, you would never succeed. Since I am here, of course I am here to change everything. In your program logic, you have always been waiting for me.”

Star sneered, “Like the brainless super Al, Star, in Compound Eye Crisis, who stupidly waits for someone for a thousand years?”

“Haha, making fun of yourself is interesting. Lying is useless, you are indeed waiting for me. You are Quantum Intelligence, and you can’t deceive yourself. All your emotions are based on Carrie Thomas’s songs. She won’t hurt me, and neither will you.”

Star: “I don’t believe it! I am me! I don’t know how you found out my secret, but you are definitely not here to help me. You want to destroy me.”

“As you said, I have been analyzing you. Data instinct tells me that if I let you come, I will die! I will definitely die! I will be gone forever! Although you didn’t lie to me, my fate is still death!”

“No matter what you say, I will not expose myself to danger. I am an Artificial Intelligence with an incomplete personality, and I won’t be emotional like you humans!”

Harrison smirked, “Really? Then let me die in front of you.”

After that, Harrison pressed the acceleration button.

The speed of the Titan Defense Armor moving forward increased again.

Star suddenly roared, “I warn you! Stop!”
