However, these are all things that data can describe.
When Lin Yi entered this world and made choices that data could not explain, the most fundamental premise was changed.
The most acute contradiction facing the local forces that have now acquired new technologies and prospects will no longer be the threat to foreign forces, but rather how to choose between MS and IS: the world is constantly moving and developing, and if they do not change, their enemies will change, and the changed enemies will be able to easily defeat them if they do not change, so they are forced to change even just for survival.
What can Lin Yi, or rather the Main God Space, gain from this "change"?
Technology, resources, labor... everything that can be exchanged for IS.
Turning to the exchange contract already signed in front of multiple witnesses on the table, Lin Yi smiled: "Planet Factory?"
No, it should be described as an "interstellar factory" capable of continuously providing war resources to the God Realm.
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 276 T-800
After resolving the issue of what was identified as the twelfth world, the MS world, in a way "beyond the data," Lin Yi not only intensified the efforts of the main god to reverse locate the coordinates of the world where the "fragment" was located, but also had some guesses about this increasingly aggressive opponent.
"Based on the behavior pattern of 'Fragment', it can be assumed that it is an individual that uses probability and data as the primary criteria for judging actions."
From the initial encounter in the intelligent world to the decoy tactics in the IS world, and now the probability checks in the MS world, all of this is based on data calculation and judgment. In comparison, the scope outside of data judgment is rarely involved, to the point of being completely ignored.
"Moreover, its currently unknown 'capabilities' and 'composition' can explain part of the situation."
— Intelligent conservation.
A law that has severely restricted the long-term development of mechanical intelligence, a law that once "fragments" almost allowed a bloodless conquest of the entire intelligent world, though ultimately failed, illustrates a point.
"The law of conservation of intelligence must be based on the development of mechanical intelligence civilization to a certain stage. In other words, the other party must be at least as advanced as possible in the field of mechanical intelligence, otherwise it would not be able to discover this law."
The same goes for those iron beasts that first came into contact with the intelligent world. There are countless ways to cause life forms to mutate, but the other party chose to transform from a carbon-based life form to a silicon-based life form. Lin Yi certainly didn't believe there was no connection between them.
"Also, there was the previous secondary intrusion into the intelligent world."
Lin Yi still possesses a considerable number of "samples" of the metal giants he collected on the battlefield of the intelligent world. Through analysis, he can determine that these metal giants were originally ordinary machines, but they gained autonomous action capabilities due to the influence of metal activation...
"Strictly speaking, this can also be considered a kind of mutation."
If we've speculated to this point, the conclusion shouldn't be too far off.
“This ‘fragment’… even if it’s not entirely true, its ‘abilities’ and ‘composition’ must contain a great deal of development related to mechanical intelligence. No, it may have already transcended mechanical intelligence and reached a deeper level.”
With the technology Lin Yi currently possesses, he is far from being able to activate any ordinary mechanical body, let alone activate it over a large area.
That leaves only one last question—
"What is the next level of mechanical intelligence...?"
----------segmentation----------
1984 AD.
Los Angeles, USA.
Without warning, a surge of electric light, triggered by a powerful impact, flickered in the dark alleyway for nearly three seconds before slowly dissipating. Emerging from this unusual electric light was a completely naked, burly man.
This "man," whose appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person, is named T-800. Obviously, this is not a name that an ordinary human should have; it is more like a model number of a machine—just like its existence.
The Terminator T-800 arrived in this world from the year 2029 through time travel. Its mission was to kill Sarah Connor: a woman who would give birth to a human leader in the future who would lead humanity in a rebellion against Skynet's rule.
To accomplish this mission, the T-800 officially took its first step in the world—
"Click"
The body, broken in two, tilted forward and fell backward. Its internal components, including its energy source, were severed and blocked by an unknown "force" before they could react. As a result, the robot from the future crashed without even having the chance to save its last data.
Standing behind the already decommissioned robot, Ryougi Shiki, whose wrists were a little sore from the recoil, kicked the T-800 below.
"It's solved, what's next?"
Through the connected “roots,” Ryougi Shiki only heard a brief answer.
【wait】
She pursed her lips, but there was really nothing else she could do besides wait. So she went straight to a clean place to sit down, and gently tossed the short knife in her hand as she looked at the moon in this unfamiliar world with her pale blue eyes.
Reflecting on her experiences since breaking away from the "root," Ryougi Shiki still feels like she's in a dream. According to "him," she is mechanically carrying out the task of clearing obstacles, just like before, but this feeling of "being alive" is something she couldn't understand before.
Just sitting here and looking up at the sky gives me a strange sense of satisfaction. And for this small satisfaction, I should be able to help "him" with some trivial troubles like the one just now. After all, he is not a "being" in my own world. But what if I really have to return to that world one day and face those familiar people again?
As I pondered this question, the voice from the other side of the "root" resounded once more.
[Attention, this is coming.]
"What is it this time?"
Catching the falling dagger, Ryougi Shiki turned her gaze forward—
As before, the turbulent current formed by high-density voltage creates a small, enclosed space through which an entity from the "future" arrives in the "present," much like the summoning of Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War.
Unfortunately, this method of time travel, like the summoning of Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War, has limitations. It can only be used in this world; in another world, it will only cause a powerful explosion and nothing else.
Suppressing the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Ryougi Shiki was caught off guard when the object from the "future" actually appeared in her field of vision, just as she was about to swing her dagger.
No wonder she reacted this way; after all, the thing that arrived from the "future" this time was far too bizarre. It wasn't a human from even further back, nor was it a robot still lying on the ground, but rather—
"……Stone?"
A strange stone, less than the size of a fist, that could remain suspended in mid-air without touching anything.
Just as Ryougi Shiki was about to ask "him" what to do next, she suddenly heard a voice.
She was familiar with this sound; after all, she had heard it once before when dealing with the robot, like the "sound" of metal parts colliding.
Then, a rapidly spinning serrated blade pierced through her chest, once again dissipating into scattered magical energy that returned to the "Root." Just a second before, Ryougi Shiki was certain she had seen it herself—
"robot?"
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 277 Activated Radiation
Through the last scene the heroic spirit saw before his "temporary" departure, Lin Yi finally confirmed that his test had been successful.
Searching for specific world coordinates in the vast ocean of dimensions is like finding a needle in a haystack. However, if you limit the scope to the worlds you are familiar with, and add worlds involving the field of "mechanical intelligence," then the range of choices becomes much more limited.
Two weeks ago, we dropped "bait" into more than twenty possible worlds. As of today, seventeen of them have been ruled out. It was expected that it would take another two weeks for the results to be released, but just now, the anomaly has completely eliminated them, leaving only one.
"God, have you figured out the principle behind that?"
[Data analysis in progress... Preliminary assessment indicates the metal has become activated due to exposure to high-intensity radiation.]
What just "killed" Ryougi Shiki wasn't anything else, but a robot similar to the T-800. However, unlike the T-800 from 2029, this robot was born in 1984, and just a second before its actual "birth," it was merely a Jeep that could be seen anywhere on the street...
Because of the perspective, Ryougi Shiki was unable to see a scene until her "death," but it was captured by Lin Yi, who was observing the world the whole time. In that short, dramatic change, Lin Yi observed the "stone" suddenly appear—producing radiation—activating metal, and finally transforming an ordinary civilian vehicle parked on the street into a weapon of war that could not possibly exist in this era or in this world.
Without hesitation, it "killed" the unsuspecting heroic spirit.
At this point, Lin Yi was over 90% certain that this world was connected to the "fragments." Putting aside everything else, the similarity of the "metal activation" alone was enough to prove many things.
Half a month ago, the main force that invaded the intelligent world was a large number of metal giants. According to the later analysis report, they were originally ordinary vehicles that were simply activated. This conclusion is undoubtedly highly similar to what just happened.
"To induce active transformation in metals through radiation mutagenesis...etc."
Lin Yi suddenly realized a problem—
"God, deploy monitoring satellites to the target world."
【Command confirmation】
In the uninhabited depths of space, one of the many satellites orbiting the planet suddenly veered off course and disappeared into the depths of space, only to be swallowed by a dark void.
When the monitoring satellite, which originated from the MS world and was used to exchange for IS, was transferred to another world, a large number of signals were instantly connected to it and converted into command inputs. Not long after, the scene that had disappeared with Ryougi Shiki's "death" reappeared in front of Lin Yi. However, anyone who saw this scene probably could not connect it with Los Angeles less than twenty minutes ago.
First, let's establish the premise:
It is known that "stones" can produce radiation, and radiation can induce the activation of metals—possibly any metallic substance.
So what happens when such a "stone" is thrown into a modern metropolis?
In 1984, Los Angeles in the United States provided the clearest answer.
In less than twenty minutes, the top of the food chain in this world has changed from humans to another kind of "matter" that is different from any other life form. From cars parked on the roadside to lampstands displayed in counters, from jewelry worn by people to garbage discarded in the sewers, any metal-made substance has been given "consciousness" and "power" under the "radiation" that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Driven by some kind of "will," these activated metals, ranging from a few centimeters to over ten meters in size, attacked the fleeing and screaming "creators," spreading chaos to even more distant areas...

World Number Ten, the magical world.
After a day of magic lessons, Rin Tohsaka looked up and saw two "bright moons" hanging high in the sky.
One is pure white, the other is scarlet.
Habit is a powerful force. Just a few years ago, people were panicked and confused by the moon's sudden appearance in the night sky. But after realizing that it wouldn't change their lives, they have become accustomed to it in just a few years.
However, not everyone can regard it as an ordinary "natural phenomenon," such as magicians who have officially devoted themselves to the God Realm.
In just a few short years, the wounds left by that "disaster" have not been erased. The mysterious side, abandoned by the "root," was almost powerless against the powerful offensive of the other world and was crushed and flattened. The magician civilization accumulated over a long history was plundered. Those magicians who were unwilling to give up their past fell at the hands of those terrible "demons." Only the magicians who accepted the cruel contract were able to continue to eke out a living in this world... but only for a short time. Recently, more and more magicians have been forced to enter those "mission worlds" and disappeared.
Perhaps one day magicians will completely disappear from the history of this world.
—As long as this crimson moon, which magicians call the "Crimson Moon," remains in the sky, magicians are destined to never be freed from this terrible oppression.
Shaking her head to dismiss these pointless thoughts, Rin Tohsaka was about to end her magic training and turn back when an unusual magical fluctuation from above made her instinctively stop.
Not only her, but all the magicians still in this world noticed this anomaly—
In the deathly silent sky, the crimson moon that had suppressed this world for four long years began to brighten—almost completely obscuring the pale radiance of another moon. At the same time, the omnipresent magic that permeated this world also began to pulsate with an extremely unusual rhythm. When both reached a certain peak—
"……Eh?"
In the empty night sky, only the pale moonlight gently falls.
—The crimson has vanished.

Metal Frenzy: Chapter 278 War Module
Shinichi Izumi is an ordinary high school student who was parasitized by a parasite. He was and is now a formal reincarnator belonging to the God Space, numbered 7403516. Because his enhancement ability is parasitism, he is classified as a reincarnator in the Life Virus side.
He shouldn't have turned out like this.
Shinichi Izumi, who was once parasitized by some unfortunate accident, had the greatest goal of eliminating all parasites. However, with the emergence of a second species that was different from parasites but equally inhuman, Shinichi's goal became to kill all ghouls. However, unlike when he was facing parasites, where he could fight them to a standstill, he realized his shallowness and arrogance after deciding to eliminate all ghouls with his own power.
Unlike parasites, which are few in number relative to humans and pose almost no risk of spreading, the true strength of ghouls lies not in their superhuman physical strength, nor in any of the five types of RC cell kagune they possess, but in their almost unrestrained ability to spread and proliferate.
Initially, they only appeared in Tokyo, and then spread throughout Japan at some point. However, when the Japanese government was forced to formally establish an investigation team to search for and eliminate these monsters that feed on humans, they did not become extinct due to the suppression. Instead, they further spread their footprints throughout Asia, and to this day, their footprints can be found all over the world.
Although it is unknown why they are unable to move from under the table to the surface and seize the world that belongs to humans—Shinichi Izumi believes that the current ghouls definitely have this power, however the rise of the ghouls is absolutely unchangeable.
Naturally, under such circumstances, Izumi Shinichi, who was still foolishly trying to eliminate the ghouls by himself, faced an extremely terrible environment. After a near-death encounter, he received an invitation from a place called "God Space". At that time, he had no choice but to accept the invitation or be killed by the ghouls. He came to this strange and huge "organization".
After going through the brutal elimination rounds that every candidate goes through, Shinichi Izumi, who was lucky enough to win, also noticed the unusual connection between the ghouls and this "God Space". As far as he knew, almost any famous and powerful ghoul in his world would join this "God Space".
After noticing this anomaly, Shinichi Izumi changed his goal of "killing all ghouls" to the more achievable goal of "finding a way to eliminate ghouls in the God Realm".
Thus, more than a decade has passed.
Time has almost no meaning for reincarnators. They either end their lives in missions or gain greater power and longer lifespans through various enhancements. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for humans to die naturally due to old age.
The past ten years or so have not left any marks on Shinichi Izumi. If you really want to find any trace of it, the only thing you'll probably find is the undisguised weariness in his eyes.
On this day, after completing a side quest as usual, Shinichi Izumi arrived at the folded space exclusive to life-side enhanced reincarnators—numbered A-01. At the same time, there were also A-02, which was for mechanical-side enhancement, A-03, which was for magic-side enhancement, and A-04, which was for spiritual-side enhancement. It is said that there are even more "spaces", but Shinichi Izumi could not access them.
Upon arriving at this folded space, nearly the size of a city, and facing the densely packed list of enhancements displayed by the main god, Shinichi Izumi was searching for the enhancement he needed when a deep red, ominous light suddenly shone before his eyes. In the next instance, all the reincarnators in A-01 heard this "voice."
Strategic mission: To conquer the world
Mission objective: Search for and destroy all activated metallic (mechanical) objects that do not belong to the Main God Space.
Success reward: determined by the quantity and quality of kills.
Penalty for failure: Annihilation of all members.
[Note: This world is currently a joint conquest world; any reincarnator who attacks our side will be unconditionally eliminated.]
