"I only showed up this time out of curiosity. What makes you so special that the boss takes you so seriously?"
"As for who I am?"
"I have so many identities now that I can hardly remember them all."
"However, you can just call me Karen."

Chapter 759 The "Light" of the New Era
"Dad? What's wrong?"
It wasn't until the Crimson Mech's AI voice sounded again that Shin Asuka snapped out of his daze.
Asuka Shin naturally knew who Karen was.
As one of the AIs specifically responsible for integrating the mech network, Kallen is a rather unique type among the mainframes.
Besides being responsible for combat coordination, Kallen is rumored to be the earliest artificial intelligence to appear and possess its own dedicated prosthetic body in the real world.
Unfortunately, no one has ever directly addressed these speculations, so they have remained merely "urban legends."
However, it seems that Asuka Shin is now certain that Kallen is indeed different from the other mainframes.
Whether it's Kallen's deliberate act of blocking the Crimson Mech's artificial intelligence, or the information she herself revealed, it all suggests that Kallen has other identities besides the mainframe.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised."
For once, Asuka Shin showed a less reckless side of himself and did not tell the Crimson Mech what had just happened.
"Yes, that is indeed quite surprising."
"I never expected you to master the ability to fly so quickly."
The artificial intelligence was completely unaware of what had just happened.
It was merely somewhat amazed that Shin Asuka was able to generate an anti-gravity magnetic field so quickly using Specium particles.
The Crimson Mech already possesses powerful dash and kill capabilities.
Now, with the added advantage of flight, it's a complete game-changer for those ugly monsters below.
"However, our target now is not those small fry."
The drone actively focused its view on the distant Gailvin Building, and the voice of the artificial intelligence sounded somewhat excited at that moment.
For artificial intelligence that underwent combat orientation adjustments from its inception.
The crimson mech's anticipation for battle was in no way inferior to that of Shin Asuka, a rookie who had never experienced war.
Especially when Kiakuda "fission variants" exceeding ten meters in size have appeared near the Gailvin Building.
The fighting spirit and fervor rooted in the underlying program have put the Crimson Mech's artificial intelligence into an unprecedented state of excitement.
Although it sounds a bit "weird".
However, the artificial intelligence of the crimson mech did indeed exhibit the excitement that only intelligent beings possess.
Asuka Shin was not surprised at all by this.
As early as when he was studying at school, Shin Asuka knew that the artificial intelligence developed by TPC was completely different from the artificial intelligence he knew.
Generally speaking, in order to maintain efficient operation, artificial intelligence will not excessively, or even deliberately, reduce the possibility of generating emotions.
However, after in-depth research, TPC scientists realized that emotionless and desireless artificial intelligence was destined to be nothing more than a tool.
If we want artificial intelligence to do things that even humans cannot do, giving it emotions is an inevitable option.
In particular, when they learned that Masaki Keigo had developed a "mind synchronization device" that could allow beliefs to influence reality, everyone realized that emotions themselves also possess power.
Humans do possess the power of emotions, but it is extremely difficult to evoke extreme emotions in them.
Artificial intelligence is different. As long as extreme emotional codes are inscribed into their underlying logic when they are born, they are inherently a trigger that can activate a "thought synchronization device".
For example, right now...
tumultuous!
The artificial intelligence, born as a "tool," transformed its heightened emotions and fighting spirit into the power of the crimson mech under the influence of the "mind synchronization device."
On the contrary, Shin Asuka, as the pilot, still maintained his judgment as a qualified soldier.
Tools are just tools; people are the most important thing!
This is Masaki Keigo's contempt for scientists who intend to imbue artificial intelligence with emotions after he revealed the principle of the "mind synchronization device".
Since you bunch of idiots are planning to give artificial intelligence emotions, then I'll turn these emotional AIs back into tools.
Asuka Shin had no intention of arguing about right and wrong in this academic field.
The only thing he was certain of was that the crimson mech in this state did indeed possess the ability to rival an army of ten thousand.
tumultuous!
The crimson mech, which was already unleashing terrifying power due to the Specium Particles.
Now, the entire body of the machine is radiating a crimson light, like flames.
——Crimson Mech - War Mode!
The crimson light that comes from faith has a more terrifying destructive power than any flame.
Silence! Silence! Silence!
Ignoring the laws of conservation of physics, ignoring universal gravitation...
When the crimson mech raised its laser gun again, the energy pool, which had been nearly depleted, fired a high-energy laser once more.
Transform belief into power, and influence reality with willpower.
The crimson mech, now in war mode, fires bullets imbued with the power of conviction.
Therefore, the monsters hit by the red light bullets let out even more miserable howls than before.
Like a streak of light piercing the sky, or a fireball shooting straight into the heavens...
The crimson mech seemed like a berserker that had lost its mind, yet under Shin Asuka's control, it displayed an incredibly clear sense of purpose.
The monsters we shot were just appetizers.
Asuka Shin's real target was the super-large "fission variants" that were gathering and converging near the Galvin Building.
......................................................................................................
"That guy... has entered 'war mode' again without permission!"
Having witnessed the Crimson Mech's ferocious performance firsthand, Ryo Yumimura couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.
That nonsensical "super administrator privileges" is one thing.
The "War Mode" of the Victory Team series of mechs is a special mode that can only be activated if the pilot and the artificial intelligence have an extremely high synchronization rate.
In the current victorious team, only a handful of people are able to successfully enter "war mode" without losing control due to the frenzy of artificial intelligence.
Asuka Shin, with his reckless and impulsive personality, was clearly not one of them.
According to past practice, within ten minutes at most, Asuka Shin would be completely affected by the frenzy of artificial intelligence and then lose all control.
"We have to stop those monsters before that guy goes out of control!"
At Ryo Yumimura's command, the blue mecha quickly emitted a bright blue light, like the starry sky.
Under the illumination of this azure light, the speed of the blue mecha suddenly increased by more than one level.
The two small drones that were originally orbiting the blue mech like satellites also quickly rushed into the battlefield, becoming its front-line meat shields.
Enveloped in a deep blue light, a force field that distorted reality enveloped the small drones, granting them exceptional defensive capabilities.

Chapter 760 The Weight of Responsibility
Just as the members of the Victory Team's Kyushu branch were heading to the Galvin Building.
Inside the Gailvin Building, security personnel specializing in handling various emergencies have already sprung into action.
Veterans in various armored formations, along with cybernetic androids, managed to repel the Kiakuda Fission variants for a time.
However, when the Kiakuda fissioners attacked the energy pipelines and rapidly merged and expanded into gigantic entities using electricity...
The security forces at the Gailvin Building were somewhat stretched thin.
Even with its fearless cybernetic warriors, the defensive perimeter of the Gailwin Building was gradually compressed to the vicinity of the underground laboratory.
"Damn it!"
"If we weren't holding these stun guns, those horrible monsters would never have been able to break in!"
One of the security guards, who was engaged in close combat with the monsters that had invaded the Gailvin Building, couldn't help but complain.
It's important to know that the security personnel hired by Gailwin Corporation are basically paramilitary members who have served in the active military, possessing outstanding military capabilities and combat skills.
If even one of the weapons these security personnel carried were active-duty weapons, this engagement would not have been so difficult.
"Shut up, do you think you're still in the army?"
The squad leader glared fiercely at his subordinate, clearly aware of the situation.
Regardless of its size, Gailvin is ultimately just a private company—at least on the surface.
A private company in the city equips its security personnel with semi-military weapons. Is this a pretext for Gaelvin's rivals to attack them?
"I was just complaining a little. After all, this is the first time I've fought such a frustrating battle."
With a slightly helpless pursed lip, the team member quickly changed the subject.
"So what should we do next? Should we continue to abandon this stairwell?"
Just then, the cyborg warrior standing at the forefront turned around and spoke in a cold, mechanical voice.
"We can't retreat any further, or we'll be back in the 'experimental zone'."
Unlike humans, cybernetic androids have an instruction written into their programming that they must never allow any intruders into the "experimental zone".
Therefore, even if it means their own destruction, the cybernetic warriors will never allow a single fission variant to enter the "experimental zone".
Of course, this is merely the programming logic of the prosthetic androids themselves; they do not require the human partners to remain on the front lines of the battlefield with them.
Conversely, the underlying code logic of cybernetic androids requires them to protect humans.
"You all leave here; leave the rest of the battle to us!"
Although the voice remained cold and mechanical, the security personnel present detected a hint of warmth in it.
"Abandoning my teammates is not my style. If we're going to fight, let's fight to the very end!"
After a brief silence, the squad leader was the first to reject the suggestion of the cyborg warrior.
"To be honest, stun guns are also lethal; the only difference is the power level."
"The place we are in now lacks everything, but it has no shortage of high-intensity electrical energy."
As the squad leader spoke, he kicked over the power supply box next to him.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the squad leader simply and crudely used a roll of tape to connect the power supply box to the battery of his stun gun.
sizzle...
The moment the stun gun spring was launched, the powerful electricity was also conducted through the electrical box to the fissioners.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the cyborg warriors were the first to react, pouncing on the attack like hungry tigers.
...............................................................................................................
When the Crimson Mech arrived at the Gailvin Building, it witnessed a scene of security personnel and cybernetic warriors collectively counterattacking the Fission variant.
Silence! Silence! Silence!
Almost without any pause, high-energy laser beams were immediately fired.
However, the Crimson Mech's targets were not ordinary fission variants, but colossal creatures over ten meters tall.
Due to their size, these massive fission variants were unable to penetrate the building's interior, so they could only damage windows and walls from the outside in an attempt to get inside.
