"Emmmm... I have a feeling Miss Dandre is trying to fool us—"

However, the Valkyries insisted that they were just a little simple-minded, not stupid, and that the Valkyries were clearly trying to fool them.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible—look at the past few days, haven't the staff in charge of the office come to see me?"

"The former Archbishop Otto of Schicksal, as well as the two leaders of Anti-Entropy, Walter Yang and Mr. Walter Joyce, often come to me with reports!"

"I see... Then Miss Dandley is indeed useful—"

The Valkyries, who had nodded, seemed convinced by Danderley and turned to look at Ai-chan, who had also sensed something was amiss...

"Then I'll leave you to it—it's the bishop's order, if neither of you goes down, our bonuses are really in jeopardy!"

"Sorry, Cabbage Head!"

"Who are you calling a cabbage head?! Whoa!!!"

Before Ai-chan could react, the lead Valkyrie launched a surprise attack, scooped Ai-chan up from the ground, and hurled her forcefully toward the edge of the sky island...

"Ghost..."

Watching the green cabbage fly away with a scream, Miss Dandelion shrank back, thankful that the Valkyries hadn't thrown her out...

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now?"

After thinking for a moment, Dandley decided to slip away before the others could react...

"Did someone agree to let you leave?"

A sudden, unexpected voice rang out behind Dandelion...

"Good afternoon, Bishop!"

Upon seeing who was behind Miss Dandelion, the Valkyries greeted her in unison...

"Good afternoon, Valkyries..."

Snow nodded to his subordinates, waving them away. Then, narrowing his eyes, he approached the black-haired, golden-eyed AI lady step by step...

"You learn very quickly—it's a pity you haven't mastered it... What? You're already bullying Ai-chan??"

"No! Absolutely not! I'm going down to keep Ai company right now. See you later, Lord Snow!"

Immediately admitting her mistake, Ms. Dandelion leaped downwards and vanished from the girl's sight...

"...Tsk."

Tianming Sky Island Conference Hall

"The reason I've summoned you all here is because of a very important issue—"

Dr. Mei tapped on the projection screen in front of her, drawing everyone's attention...

Otto, Joyce, and Yang were whispering among themselves in the audience, while Velvi was discussing something with Kevin and Alicia... Dr. Möbius, meanwhile, was slurping instant noodles, lost in thought.

Dandelai and Ai-chan, who had just swum back from the sea and flown back to the sky island, were still glaring at each other, neither willing to give in. Looking at the data flowing through their pupils, they seemed to be competing for something.

"Um... Dr. Mei, what problem are you referring to?"

Miss Snow shrugged, watching the various opinions circulating in the meeting room, and looked towards May, who was waiting in the center for everyone to quiet down...

"Stargate—the stargate of that celestial being you brought back, Snow; while it brings us entirely new technological changes, it also seems to have prematurely brought us a threat..."

"According to the space station's report, this stargate has exhibited several abnormal operational phenomena. Based on analysis, this appears to be a remote command."

"Remote commands...?"

Upon hearing Mei's statement, the crowd immediately fell silent, awaiting her explanation...

"Based on my and Number 17's analysis—the specific meaning of this remote command is some kind of location program."

“Miss Snow, you should understand what this means, right?”

"Hmm... Are the celestial beings arriving ahead of schedule? How is our fleet assembly progressing?"

"Currently, there is only one fully formed interstellar fleet. Yi Nanwang has obtained new dark matter technology and is currently upgrading it."

"But the number of enemies is probably unknown to us—"

"Well... Uncle Joyce and Bronya—you understand what I mean, right?"

"Can I take that as Snow, you're planning to open the console and type the 'addship' command...?"

"Yep~ Uncle Joyce—let's go buy the Supreme Destiny ships wholesale—"

Luo, I want to clarify that I am still alive.

Enraged

My younger brother has 596 camphor trees.

Move the position forward 50 meters!

The vast universe and towering warships have always been a source of human romance. And as one after another, silver-gray warships emerged from behind the moon, Miss Snow Apocalypse, observing it all from space, nodded in satisfaction.

"In humanity's distant, dark future, in the cold universe, there is only war, and only war—the right to human survival has never been something we are born with, but rather a right acquired through sacrifice and bloodshed."

"Stop, stop, stop. There is no subspace here, only imaginary space, and there are no four peddlers, only you."

Just as Miss Snow was "going crazy" in front of the space station's floor-to-ceiling window, Miss Jiuxiao's voice interrupted her mysterious speech.

"That means I can simultaneously play the roles of the god of courage, wisdom, life, and art—"

Snow, whose speech had been interrupted, curled his lip in annoyance and glared at Miss Jiuxiao beside him.

"Is that alright—then what about Kiana?"

"Of course, it's the eternal chosen one!"

The blonde girl looked at her companion with a smug expression.

"I'd be grateful if it wasn't the invincible Abba Abba..."

Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes, coughed lightly, and steered the conversation back on track—

"Walter and Bronya sent a message not long ago saying that the fleet is ready. However, the Federation of Humanity currently lacks well-trained starship pilots, so this batch of fleets consists of unmanned, autonomous models."

"That's good too. The current Human Alliance can still be described as a community forcibly pieced together. If there were really huge casualties, it would be a big public opinion problem. Self-disciplined warships are indeed a good solution."

Snow nodded, seemingly satisfied with the situation.

"No, no, no, that's a huge problem—my dear Snow, you have to understand, artificial intelligence needs a massive amount of relevant data to train. Where are we going to get data on interstellar warfare? Are we just going to fool those AIs with Star Citizen and EVE or StarCraft? We might end up with an artificial idiot."

"...You mean, we need a commander?"

The blonde girl paused for a moment, looking at Jiuxiao in front of her.

"That's right, a commander—what are your thoughts?"

"You're coming?"

After thinking for a moment, Snow looked at Jiuxiao in front of him and said this.

Do I look like someone who's suited for naval warfare?

"...Then...Bronya? Turn the command system into an RTS game, send it to Bronya, tell her to test the new game, and let Prometheus and the others calculate and digitize the unit data panels for combat."

"You're a genius at using people..."

After a brief moment of thought, Jiu Xiao realized that it did indeed have a certain degree of feasibility.

"There's no need to specially program the enemy AI on the other side. Just let the autonomous AI of those warships take the hits and learn on its own..."

"Indeed... then let's do it this way?"

Miss Snow nodded, finding the plan increasingly reasonable, and then patted Miss Jiuxiao's shoulder forcefully, as if entrusting her with an important task.

Why are you taking pictures of me???

"Among our group, aren't you the only one who's a full-time programmer?"

Snow tilted his head and looked at the chosen worker in front of him as if it were the most natural thing in the world—Miss Penglaiji Jiuxiao.

"And since you've agreed to the proposal, it's naturally up to you, Jiuxiao~ Prometheus 17, Ai-chan, and Dandelion will all come to help you~"

Is this reasonable???

"Also, don't use Ai-chan! She only uses up my background memory to play games!"

"Whatever you want~"

Miss Snow, with a wicked grin, disappeared around the corner, leaving Jiu Xiao, looking utterly miserable, helplessly furious as the KPI indicator flew in from nowhere.

-------------------------------------

This will be a history-changing battle. Defeat them, defeat those celestial beings—this will truly unveil the corner of the starry sky that belongs to humanity, leaving behind a magnificent chapter in human history.

All members of the Human Federation will unite here, transcending ethnicity, skin color, and creed—we will stand together as one to overcome this final test—

.....

“Your daughter is becoming more and more like a leader, Otto—at least in terms of public speaking and inspiring people…she’s quite qualified.”

"Isn't this a racial talent of you Germans...?"

Joyce and Otto sat in a small restaurant on the street, watching Miss Snow Apocalypse, dressed in formal attire, give a speech on the news program next door—

"What are you laughing at? You're German too—"

Mr. Otto Apocalypse, rolling his eyes, reminded Walter Joyce of his birthplace—

"I don't think you're much better—back when you turned the North American branch of Destiny against us, as the spiritual leader of Anti-Entropy, are you going to tell me you're too handsome and attracted all the pretty girls?"

"They're all pretty much all talk—"

"Cough cough cough... That's right, so what if I'm handsome?"

"...Could you be any more shameless, Joyce?"
