"Is that piece of engineering machinery malfunctioning?"
Almost right after the city alarm sounded, the City Guards of the City of Intelligent Machines appeared within Jia Shen's detection range.
They were a type of giant bird, specially modified to float continually in the air, almost twenty-four hours a day.
In this city, where nanotechnology and engineering machinery technology were highly advanced, even the City Guards were imbued with the style of the City of Intelligent Machines.
Various built-in implants endowed the giant birds with tenacious life force and mobility...
The tallic exoskeleton and feathers on the outside gave them aggression far beyond that of ordinary City Guards...
Don't even ntion regular engineering machinery,
Even military-grade combat machinery wouldn't make much of a ripple in front of these giant birds.
Moreover, anyone qualified to beco a City Guard of the Mountain and Sea People had basically passed the selection tests for the [Artificial Gods].
In critical monts, they could directly summon [Artificial Gods] to possess the strongest combat power beneath the Gods.
"Guardians?"
Slowly raising his chanical head, Jia Shen, still in a dazed state, spoke.
Imdiately, Jia Shen's faceplate split open again, revealing that single crimson eye.
"Anomaly detected!"
"Release permissions, allow attack!"
Seeing Jia Shen's crimson eye, the nearest giant bird unhesitatingly launched an attack.
Whoosh!
Activated by high-intensity turbocharging.
The chanical wings of the giant bird stirred up a massive storm.
Caught off guard, Jia Shen staggered from the sudden tempest, almost toppling to the ground.
Rumble...
Instinctively reaching out to steady against a tall building next to him, Jia Shen felt a renewed sense of bewildernt.
He wasn't puzzled by the City Guards attacking him, but rather confused as to why he reached out to steady himself against the building.
Clearly, in the system's design, there wasn't a program logic of "must steady oneself if falling"?
"Is it strong artificial intelligence tendency?"
"Has this piece of engineering machinery 'awakened'?"
The giant bird not far from Jia Shen also witnessed this scene and uttered an incredulous sound.
Within the Mountain and Sea Civilization, incidents of non-intelligent life forms awakening have occurred.
Not to ntion, the [Living Plants] tinkered by the Nine-tailed Fox Race had once caused an uproar.
Since then, the Mountain and Sea Civilization had stipulated that any awakened individual, whether innate or acquired, artificial or not, would be regarded as mbers of the Mountain and Sea Civilization.
Thus, realizing Jia Shen is likely a newly awakened Mountain and Sea People, the City Guards had a dispute over how to handle the incident.
"Regardless of whether it's 'awakened', it undoubtedly killed a Burrowing Insect."
In the City Guards' communication channel, the leader of these giant birds said resolutely.
"A Qi must not die in vain, it must pay for this!"
The leader's words clearly carried strong personal emotions, yet the giant birds fell into silence at that mont.
A Qi was a colleague they'd worked with for years, while Jia Shen was just an engineering machine that happened to "awaken".
Everyone knew in their hearts what choice to make.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thus, after a brief pause, the giant birds' attacks frantically resud on Jia Shen.
"Don't... attack ..."
Once again, instinctively raising his hand to shield his core chanical head.
Jia Shen's voice was now filled with a kind of human-like emotional fluctuation.
But unfortunately, faced with Jia Shen's plea, what greeted it was even fiercer attacks from the giant birds.
Despite not knowing what was happening, the survival instinct finally led Jia Shen to retaliate.
Shff—Boom!
The giant hand slashed through the sky, the sonic boom at the fingertips resonating through the clouds.
As engineering machinery for city construction, Jia Shen might not be equipped with offensive weapons.
But in terms of sheer power, it surpassed over ninety percent of the beings in this world.
Therefore, faced with Jia Shen's fierce slap, the giant birds dared not confront it head-on, opting instead to ascend higher and move away.
"You... don't run!"
Seeing this, Jia Shen imdiately beca anxious.
Once the giant birds gained altitude, Jia Shen would only passively take the hits.
His just-awakened instincts and intelligence told him that this situation must never occur.
Click... click... click...
Suddenly, a harsh sound of gears and tal grinding erged from within Jia Shen.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the City Guards, a pair of enormous tal wings burst forth from Jia Shen's back.
"Wait? What's that!"
"How is this possible? Does this piece of engineering machinery have a built-in transformation program?"
"No! That's not a transformation program; it's a biological-like adaptive evolution function!"
...
Amidst the rising screams of the City Guards, Jia Shen incredibly took to the skies.
To be honest, not only were the City Guards utterly bewildered.
Even Jia Shen himself was sowhat unaccustod to these newly grown tal wings.
Yet, just as the City Guards deduced, this was not a re transformation program, but a terrifying adaptive evolution function.
As these tal wings grew, Jia Shen's internal components and structure also changed.
These components and structure were enough to support Jia Shen's massive form, enabling flight with the help of the tal wings.
Whoosh!
At that mont, Jia Shen's self-learning and adaptation capabilities also erged.
In a short ti, he adjusted to the sensation of flying, unhesitatingly charging toward the nearest giant bird.
Boom!
This ti, the giant bird failed to evade Jia Shen's collision in ti.
With a harrowing scream, the giant bird plumted from the sky like a teor.
In stark contrast, as engineering machinery, Jia Shen's greatest advantage besides power was his indestructible armor.
The high-strength armor covering his entire body remained unscathed.
Jia Shen reversed at an almost impossible angle, charging towards the second giant bird once more.
"Don't hold back! Activate the Artificial God Armant!"
When such a roar rang out within the communication channels, the giant bird, aware of the danger, didn't hesitate to summon its Artificial God Armant.
Whoosh!
The sky was torn apart, the Void slowly erged...
Multiple Dragon Head, bird-bodied [Artificial Gods] appeared above the city, presenting an encircling posture towards Jia Shen.
Though these Dragon Head, bird-bodied [Artificial Gods] were of a standard design, they subtly evolved under the influence of individual differences, making it easy to identify them.
——Artificial God·Fuxi!
