Stellaris from the Automata Era

The attitude of these humanoids is basically, if you want to go to the front lines, fine, you're human and we can't stop you, but you want to personally fight the enemy? Impossible!

"Clearance ahead, no more extra signals."

As the only two relatively regular YoRHa troops in the team, 2b and 9s' auxiliary machines are naturally inseparable.

They seemed to have a detection system more powerful than humans, and quickly determined that the mechanical life forms in the cave had been cleared out.

After confirming this fact, the humanoids still cautiously maintained their team formation and continued to move forward.

until..

"what is this?"

Steel steps came into view. Because the cave was too dark, Yan Yan could not confirm whether they were made of steel, so he just called them that.

Around the steps are the remains of mechanical life forms, and at the end is a door made of the same material.

"Let's go there."

The door should be the entrance to a facility. As Yan Luo and others approached, it opened automatically by sensor. It seemed that it had energy.

After going deeper, the true appearance of the entire facility appeared before everyone.

"There is no record of this place in the data."

9s was the first to express doubt.

After Yan Luo carefully observed the surroundings, he understood it even more clearly.

"This is not our style!"

This is an alien building!

The war between humanoids and machine life forms begins with the arrival of aliens on Earth.

However, what is more interesting is that according to Yan Luo's understanding, there are records of aliens in human form, just like humans, who have never actually appeared, except for the first time when the mechanical life form, their nemesis, landed over a city and brought human form.

For thousands of years thereafter, they seemed to have disappeared, leaving only human and mechanical life forms to maintain the war according to the ideas of their respective creators.

Now... his strong intuition told him that he would probably get information about aliens here soon.

"Everyone stay alert! Let's keep moving forward!"

After going deeper, Yan Luo and the others may have reached the end of the entire facility. Going down a certain staircase, there was no way forward.

The arrival of life must have triggered a device in these facilities, and the facilities began to operate, the ends opened from bottom to top, and light poured in.

As the dim environment was instantly illuminated, the surrounding objects immediately attracted Yan Luo's attention.

"Alien...corpse?" Yan Luo observed carefully.

The creature in front of me seemed to have been inactive for a long time.

However, before he could classify their biological classes, 9s's exclamation next to him once again attracted his attention and the attention of all the humanoids.

"Alien spaceship!"

After the device of the facility was triggered, the end opened from the bottom to the outside world, and an alien spaceship that looked damaged was lying there quietly.

Just when everyone wanted to get closer to observe, a sound that didn't belong to anyone came from behind.

"Welcome to the graveyard of our creator."

This...is Chinese.

As Yan Luo turned around cautiously, the scene in front of him still confused him.

"Two..humanoids?"

"Sir! They're mechanical lifeforms!" 2B, upon seeing the approaching men, immediately shouted to the surrounding area, while simultaneously confronting them with a knife. "I've encountered them in the desert before. They're mechanical lifeforms that mimic human form!"

"Yes, we are the mechanical life forms you speak of." They seemed unfazed by their identities being exposed, one even displaying the ancient European aristocratic etiquette of males. However, their bare upper bodies, clad only in leather trousers, hardly conveyed such aura. "Are you human? We read your information while we were online."

Yan Luo knew who he was asking about, and after the formalities, his eyes never left him.

"You mechanical lifeforms have finally given me a big surprise." Yan Luo's expression couldn't be seen due to his mask, but from his voice, one could tell there was no such thing as surprise. "Yes, I am human."

"That's great! Sorry, I was a bit rude. According to your human etiquette, I should introduce myself first. I am Adam." The mechanical life form named Adam first pointed at himself, then pointed at another person beside him. "He is my brother Eve."

"Once again, welcome to the cemetery of our Creator." There was no formality this time, but the mechanical life form Adam seemed to be narrating something very seriously, as if he was treating the past solemnly.

"I was very concerned just now. You said it was a cemetery, right?" Yan Luo looked around and continued asking. "It seems that you...you know very well what happened here?"

"If you are looking for our creators, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. They were destroyed by us mechanical life forms long ago."

"What?" All the humanoids exclaimed.

"It seems that you mechanical life forms really brought me a big surprise." Yan Luo was not as surprised as the human form.

In fact, he had envisioned something similar a long time ago, but at that time the target was him and the humanoids.

Chapter 62: Let's Explore Each Other's Bodies

"So the aliens also perished."

Yan Luo's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

For him, this was not something difficult to accept, it just felt a little ridiculous.

His fellow humanoid creators of this world had long since vanished, and even the creators of mechanical life forms were not far behind.

So whether they are human or mechanical life forms, their wars over thousands of years are just like a naughty child scribbling on a piece of white paper, and seriously telling you that this is a masterpiece worth hundreds of millions.

How sad.

He didn't laugh in the end.

As if grasping some key words, the mechanical life named Adam opposite fell into a bit of confusion.

"Also? Humanity was destroyed? Also taken over by humanoids?"

"Nonsense!"

a2 roared.

This touched the thorn in her heart. In fact, when she was in the desert, she almost gave up hope of taking human form.

If she had just moved a little further, the knife, which carried all her malice, would have split Yan Luo's body in half, truly fulfilling Adam's words.

But just as importantly, what he said might not be wrong.

Yan Luo never knew about it, and no humanoid had ever mentioned it to him.

Humanity may really be destroyed because of the humanoids. Every humanoid knows that humanity was forced to 'fly' to the moon because of the Gemini model's rampage (not really).

After learning the truth that humanity has become extinct, the twins will probably be blamed for this crime forever.

Similarly, Gemini is a humanoid. The death of humans because of Gemini is equivalent to the destruction of humans by humans. Humanoids will not deprive Gemini of their "human rights" and deny it in a self-deceptive way.

"The one on the moon, ah, forget it."

A2's anger did not affect the thinking of the mechanical life form too much. On the contrary, Adam, who possessed extremely high intelligence, quickly understood everything.

After all, the reason why humans left the earth is not a big secret.

He was just happy to hear that humans had the same fate as their creator, but he became more conflicted.

"So you are the last remaining copy of the human race?"

"As far as I know, yes."

"It's troublesome."

It's really troublesome.

Adam is different from all mechanical life forms. In fact, he has never truly regarded imaginary humans and humanoids as enemies.

He was curious about the unknown and explored the attitudes of the two. Rather than destroying them, he wanted to dismantle them bit by bit and explore the mysteries within.

However, the fact that only one copy was left really made him feel troubled.

“This way, we can better protect it.”

What a joke!

The figures were either surprised, confused, or stunned. They stared at Adam intently, trying to read something from his slightly smiling face.

Then the collective words that followed turned into anger.

"Will you come to our side? Do you believe that we mechanical life forms can provide better shelter?"

"You guy!"

All the humanoids put their hands on their weapons, which was already challenging the limits of their nerves.

Humanity is the glory of the human form, not to mention that this is the only one left.

If any human being were to fall from their clutches and fall under the protection of others today, every humanoid present would be nailed to the pillar of shame.

The lowest limit is to destroy the data and the body, and the highest limit is to destroy all related models! No one can escape!

Not to mention that these words were a slap in the face of the humanoids, an insult to them! Their Creator! When did their glory ever need the protection of an enemy?

Now the mechanical life form named Adam can still stand here intact! It is simply because they have not received orders from humans and have restrained themselves.

"Really... this is interesting." Because of the mask, no one could see Yan Luo's expression, but his tone was full of amusement. "You are very different from the mechanical life forms I know, which also makes me a little confused. What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Of course, to understand you humans. Compared to our boring Creator, you humans' behavior is simply impossible to predict with common sense.

You humans fight each other and love each other, you can be cruel to your own people and yet risk your lives to protect each other. I simply cannot understand this change.

I originally planned to pull you down from the moon and dissect you piece by piece to understand more. Now it seems that the existence of this train can only be more valuable if it is stored in a liquid-filled container to keep the brain active."

Where did this yandere come from? Love love..

Love a ghost.

Yan Luo almost confirmed the thoughts of the mechanical life form in front of him.

This was more terrifying than anything he had encountered before.

A life that wants to learn from humans but goes astray.

He had no intention of putting himself in the other party's laboratory. No normal person would have such an idea.

Now he was already laughing out of anger.

"You want to become a human, right? It just so happens that I'm also very interested in your system and body. Why don't you come to my lab and sit down, and let me dismantle you to see what a miraculous structure you have inside."

"That's great. You're interested in me and I'm interested in you. Let's get to know each other's bodies."

"???"

Yan Luo was a little confused after being tricked.

He was beginning to find it difficult to understand Adam's thoughts, and perhaps he didn't need to understand at all...

The birth process of mechanical life forms is creation itself, and the direction they are destined to move in is different from that of humans. To be frank, humanoids may even have more common topics with them.

After all, their situations are so similar...

Of course, now is not the time to discuss this issue. Yan Luo’s primary concern is to deal with the threat of mechanical life forms and avoid becoming a specimen on display.

"Then please help me invite him into my laboratory, regardless of his level of integrity."

This sentence immediately made the humanoids understand Yan Luo's thoughts and feelings.

They were already unable to contain themselves and immediately resorted to force to appeal to the will of humanity.

Wielding blades, A2 and 2B quickly confronted the leader Adam. One wanted to release the anger in her heart, and the other was uneasy about the truth of today. They had to use their weapons to cut off the enemy in front of them and calm themselves down.

"Me? Is this a breakdown in negotiations?"

Adam probably didn't expect that the scene where they were just talking and laughing would instantly turn into a scene filled with violence.

But it was the unexpected behavior of humans that fascinated him even more.

Yes! This is what human beings are like!

He felt like he had grasped something, but also like he hadn't gotten anything. He needed some time to feel it, but unfortunately he didn't have that much time now.

"elder brother!"

Eve, whom Adam called his brother, exclaimed.
