Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2304 The Second Interaction with Metal Knight!
"Machine God."

Inside the top-floor office of the Justice Society headquarters building.

Morgan William stared thoughtfully at the three virtual screens in front of him.

On the screen to the left is the 'Machine God' G4 that Geek and Fubuki encountered before.

On the screen to the right is the 'Machine God' Bodie that Tiger just defeated.

The central screen, however, features Dr. Bofoy, the 'Metal Knight'.

Because he suspected that these 'machine gods' were manufactured by the other side.
This is mainly based on the intelligence gathered so far.

Only Metal Knight in this world has the technology, the financial resources, and the ambition to create so many powerful robots.

Especially ambition.

Previously, the other party had clearly stated that they wanted to become the representative who ruled the world.

Therefore, the Mechanical Legion and the Machine God Organization are very likely intended to conquer the world.

However, the emergence of the World Government disrupted his plans.

The world government has now explicitly rejected Dr. Bofoy's request.

Since then, the other party has never contacted them again. What does he want to do?
To fight the World Government with these mechanical legions?
Thinking of this, Morgan William's lips curled into a cold smile.

If that's the case.

He must have overestimated the other person's intelligence, or perhaps he was just a mad scientist after all?
"Moss, contact Dr. Bofoy."

Morgan William plans to talk to the other party to ascertain their attitude and thoughts before making a decision.

[Beep—Beep—Beep—]

After three rings, the other end of the line answered, and Dr. Bofoy's face appeared on the screen.

His Mediterranean-style curly hair, bald head, and large front teeth were still as conspicuous as ever.

"It's a pleasure to speak with you again, Mr. William. I hope you have good news to share."

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Dr. Bofoy, but this time I have to question you.”

"Oh?"

Dr. Bofoy in the video looks surprised: "What do you want to ask?"

Morgan William calmly looked at the other person: "The Machine God Organization and the underwater robot army, are they related to you?"

Although he said it was a question, his tone carried a hint of certainty.

Dr. Bofoi was taken aback, then said, "I'm surprised you actually discovered them. The ocean is teeming with deep-sea creatures now; it must be quite an achievement."

Morgan William's expression remained unchanged, his gaze calm and unwavering: "So you're admitting it?"

“I admit that I have some connection with ‘Machine God’, but I have absolutely nothing to do with the robot army.”

Dr. Bofoy smiled calmly.

Morgan William frowned slightly: "The Machine God and the Robot Legion are clearly in cahoots."

"Yes."

"This is a long story, but to put it simply, the birth of the 'Machine God' is related to me and Yong, also known as Child Emperor, but I did not create those robots."

Dr. Bovoy, feigning reminiscence, spoke eloquently:

"Yong, who was younger back then, dreamed of deploying defense machinery and missile launchers in various cities and regions."

"Then let the autonomous robot army be responsible for maintaining order and eliminating monsters."

"To this end, we jointly developed an AI capable of running these things, but we eventually abandoned it."

"Although he struggled with this for a long time, Yong believed that even if this AI was only half-finished, it was too dangerous and should not be improved further."

Morgan William asked, "Where is the danger?"

"It develops emotions, from which intelligence arises; it can even be seen as a life form composed of numbers."

As soon as Dr. Bofoy finished speaking, Morgan William's expression turned strange.

"Ahem, I see, you're a digital being."

"But this doesn't seem to be dangerous. The world government also has the technology to create digital life."

Artificially created AI with emotions and intelligence—starfish have been able to do that for a long time.

The former lunar civilization, now Dr. Tsukimi.

"You consider the Digital Race a race?" Dr. Bofoi was genuinely surprised this time.

"Of course, they are all considered normal citizens by the World Government, including this Moss~"

Morgan William shrugged. "Say hello, Moss."

"Ok."

"Hello, Dr. Bofoi, I am Moss, a digitally certified individual by the World Government. This is my citizen identification document. Please take a look."

A gentle female voice reached both of their ears.

At the same time, a rectangular ID card image appeared on Dr. Bofoy's screen.

Sure enough, it contained all her personal information.

As for why it's 'her'...

Because digital users can determine their gender based on their preferences.

However, once confirmed, no changes can be made.

"In other words, those 'machine gods' would be treated as citizens on your side."

Dr. Bofoy's surprise lingered for a long time.

"As long as they are willing to abide by the law and live in harmony with people."

Morgan William nodded in agreement, then steered the conversation back on track:
"You'll find out all of that later. Let's continue with your story."

Dr. Bofoy composed himself: "In short, we consider this AI program a forbidden seal."

"Later, someone stole it and improved the program, using it to create the 'Machine God'."

"Of course, this also includes other technologies within the database, such as robotics manufacturing technology and ultra-high-efficiency solar energy systems."

“These are things that Yong and I researched together back then.”

Morgan William was skeptical: "You know about the existence of the Machine God, so you should also know who stole your technology, right?"

"know."

"Four years ago, an autonomous but out-of-control destructive weapon suddenly appeared in a small town in W City. That was when I discovered their existence."

Dr. Bofoy had barely finished speaking.

A series of high-resolution images appeared on the screen in front of Morgan William.

It was a humanoid robot, but with a obviously crude design, causing a scene of destruction.

This made his heart sink, and he thought to himself, "Genos."

Dr. Bofoy said, "For the next few years, I investigated in secret, and as more and more information came together, I finally confirmed the other party's identity."

"Who?"

“Phuje, the great prophet, grandson of Granny Shibabawa.”

"He is also the current de facto controller and commander of Neo Heroes."

"what?!"

As soon as Dr. Bofoy finished speaking, Morgan William's eyes flashed with surprise, but also with a hint of understanding.

"What is his purpose?"

“Similar to me, but not quite the same~” Dr. Bofoy smiled nonchalantly.

"As I said before, I want to become a representative of the metal world and join the world government."

"The meaning of the metal world is that, in order to realize the desire for world peace, human society is managed through a large number of machines, thereby ensuring a safe, fair, and equal living environment."

Seeing that Morgan William had no reaction, Dr. Beaufoy sighed deeply:
“You think it’s too extreme, right? But compared to Fu Jie’s ‘New World,’ it’s nothing at all.”

"New world?"

"Yes, he and the machine gods they created wanted to control the brains of all humans and transform them into absolutely rational, completely obedient new humans."

"The evidence is the combat suits that Neo Heores issued to his men, which concealed devices that could control the wearer's consciousness and body at any time."

Dr. Bofoy smiled: "I think with your methods and technology, you should be able to verify its authenticity."
