Civilization Game

Emperor's Altar

“Go, what are you talking about? You're the test subject?”

“... Yes. Elisa Nicae is an alias. I was born with an artificial crystal, so I don't have any parents to name. ”

As the confused Lord seems to be unable to keep up with the narrative, Serena lowers her tempo and speaks amicably.

“… Load. Have you ever heard that story? When we are at a critical crossroads in the future of humanity, what if a machine, not a human, could make a decision? ”

Humanity relies more on emotion than reason. That is why I have historically left many errors and suffered countless failures and frustrations.

So what if artificial intelligence, machines, could think and make decisions on behalf of humans?

However, the machine completely excludes emotion and focuses solely on efficiency and data. For instance, the machine can determine that elimination of all is beneficial to humanity because disabilities lack the capacity to produce as compared to the costs spent on welfare. Or it may be that the machine is trying to replace people's religious activities with something that is meaningless, oppressing religions, or forcing them to give psychological counseling.

Machines seek only the most efficient path to human prosperity and survival for a given purpose. They ignore all human universal values and moral thinking, and there are side effects to judging value by efficiency alone.

So the first virtual reality company, Lantern, who was also the original producer of Chaos World, thought about it.

Here's what they concluded: Backing up the human brain to virtual reality produces a complete value judgment program. Because it is a replica of the human brain, it can be thought of with human emotion, and at the same time, it can add to the precision and efficiency of the machine.

But even though Lantern had the best virtual reality technology in the world, he had not prepared a ‘good human brain’ to be the original. So they decided to create the best human being in human history.

Test subject number AGX-87 was born. It was Elisa Nickase.

For this important project, which is undergoing large-scale national investment, she has embraced and learned a lot since childhood. But I was raised with emotion restrained from scientists. Emotions were enough to make the universal value judgments of humanity, to a minimum.

Then one of the gods who participated before God came to her attention with the best brains on Earth, and she was taken onstage. She went through artificial means, but in the end, she was also human, so there was nothing against the rules.

“I can't believe you were a Lantern experiment.... ”

Road was somewhat dazed by the shocking story. Somehow, I heard that it felt distant from humans and there was such a background. And if a human being is determined and raised to make the best brains, then it would be reassuring to have a level A + monster.

Serena opens her mouth again.

“But as Lord knows, Lantern was dismantled in the air by human experimentation. As a test subject, I was sent to an orphanage controlled by the state. ”

“... So that's how it is. If what you're saying is true, am I going to fight the best brains that could possibly lead humanity?

“We'll be fighting abandoned subjects. ”

She corrected.

“…… Serena. ”

“I don't deny reality. I'm incomplete, and I'm still preoccupied with reason. ”

Ugh. She runs a thin finger across the rod's cheek.

“Just the way I look at you. ”

“... Hey. ”

Lord says, dropping her hand.

“I don't remember showing you such a beautiful face. ”

“I didn't show it, but I looked it up. ”

She smiles faintly.

“I freed the Silver Dragons and investigated Lord's footsteps. Excellent. Lord's narrow vision doesn't take much into account, but that's why he's more daring to create variables and throw himself without fear. Eventually, I'll make those new variables in your favor. ”

“…… hmm. ”

“You have something I don't. So maybe he admires it. ”

For a moment, Lord asked a new question.

“And your wish? ”

“ …? ”

“If you win the Temple of God, what will you wish for? ”

Life as a test subject could not have been happier. I have a strong feeling that there is something to wish for. Serena thought long and hard this time. Everyone thought they had confirmed their wishes during the Temple, but they didn't. Neither did Serena, nor Chielo, nor Lord herself. Asking questions about wishes can make your worries longer.

What did Serena wish for? Regaining the mundane human life? Having parents? Or revenge on Lantern?

“My wish is to become a god. ”

It was an answer beyond all imagination.

“... Psst, God? ”

“I was surprised to see the gods here. And I thought, I want to be a god and manage my world. I'm a man made, so I think I like the god made.... ”

“Wait, Serena! The playfulness of the gods is not a game, but a fight against the void. You should never think of it as fun. They are survivors.”

“Yes, I know. But I've already been made like this. ”

She puts her hands on her chest.

“An experiment designed to manage the world. I will never be normal again. I have a desire to manage, control, and move bigger things. ”

“…… and it's a game that can satisfy that need indirectly? ”

She nods.

“But if you're the manager, I'm like a virus. He keeps getting into trouble and trying to escape his expectations. ”

“So it's fun. ”

“…… what? ”

“What I want to manage is a more static world than a dynamic world. ”

At that time, the conversation between the two was interrupted because of the priest's words.

“From now on, the two of you will share a glass. ”

‘… I've been waiting a long time. ’

In front of Lord Eve and Serena stands High Priestess Argon. And I made the priests follow the liquor they had prepared. It's good to share one drink, but you'd better be safe, as there is a risk of poisoning in the bay.

A glass shaped like a plate is filled with wine. First, I performed a ritual of offering alcohol to the gods.

Then I was again drunk by the synagogues.

“Well, yes. ”

The two of them sat face to face. She opens her mouth first.

“I, Cerestina Winslet, pledge to wage a battle worthy of honor and morale. ”

Lord follows suit. Then Lord spoke first.

“I, Rod Polentia, vow to fight the final battle here in the Great Forest. ”

Serena was equally outrageous.

And the two of them bumped into each other's glasses. I also met the eyes of two people. While I was taking the glass to my mouth, I thought a lot.

‘…… Serena. You……. ’

The glass is empty. There's not much alcohol in it. I put the cup back on the sacrificial table and finished the ritual by bowing down. A big round of applause poured out.

“Of course.”

“Yes.”

Lord wants to say good-bye and turn away, but Serena speaks quietly.

“It's been a pleasure, Lord. ”

It wasn't a great story, but she said so. Lord thought for a moment and replied to her.

“… Uh, me too. ”

I was just talking about my personal story, but the wavelength was huge. I could feel the magical signal of the neutral journalists' Memorial Crystal Ball flickering. I was worried that Rod and Serena were caught in the snow because of this. I was worried about the forbidden love and the strange rumors that would remain in history.

I think it will be because of the eyes of those who yearn for something special. That's when Serena said another word like the wind.

“And I'm sorry. ”

“ ……? ”

The two of them returned to their homes. Eve bows.

“Well done, Your Majesty. ”

“No, the High Septon did all the hard work. I just sat there. ”

“More than that, Your Highness. Have you decided who you want to speak to first? ”

Tia asked.

“We decided to do it first. Tia.”

“Good for you.”

Lord and Gaius walk to the Central River. Serena's group retreats and approaches the crowd. A young man from the New Orleans rushed over to install the microphone. It was a microphone, but it wasn't a great structure, and there was a loudspeaker at the end of the pedestal.

‘…… I'm nervous. ’

Suddenly, the air seemed to become heavier. Eve then comes back and rubs the shoulders of the nervous rod.

“Ugh. It hurts! Take it easy...! ”

Lord grunts in a small voice.

“Cheer up, Your Majesty. It's a chance to change your prejudice about Abyss and your colored glasses all at once. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

“The Mainlander believes in the Grand Duchess. ”

Tia nods, smiling.

“Heh, heh! Well, good luck with that or not. ”

Unibell still doesn't seem to be upset, but he leaves a word of encouragement.

“Thank you all. ”

I was relaxed and relaxed. I finally noticed the faces of all the neutral journalists in the audience.

The chasms retreat, and the rod rises to the river unit and stands in front of the loudspeaker beads on the pedestal. Then I opened my mouth.

“I am Lord Polentia, King of the Abyss. ”

By the end of the holidays, the platform writer will be dead.

But if you take another break at Christmas, it's a little light, so I think I'll get a little bit of a band-aid.
