When the Galaxy Wept

Chapter 176 Didn't He Die?

That machine man stood at the center of the platform and glanced around the square. It seemed that he was smiling coldly. He picked up the communicator that could connect to the whole Alliance. “I’m Marshal Kenneth Silas Kairos Salvatore, from the third generation of the royal family of the First Civilization. From this day forward, I will succeed to the throne. I swear I’ll be loyal to the machine civilization and to the father of our country, Sayers Silas. My life and my strength will live up to the stars of the Milky Way and the light of the Solar System. Let’s fight for the honor and greatness of the Empire.” The humans of the Alliance had never heard about “Milky Way” or “Solar System.” Evan and Kahlil, who had seen Kenneth’s oath for the coronation ceremony, knew that they were from the oath of ancient kings. Out of Evan and Kahlil’s expectation, after Kenneth finished his oath, the machine men on the square and even in the warships in the space cheered loudly after being silent for a few seconds. “Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!” The deafening exclamation made all the humans frightened. They saw a bright red light flash in the machine men’s red eyes, which were as dark as blood. Evan also felt some kind of excitement in his heart. It seemed that Kenneth’s voice had woken up something deep inside the machine men. Evan thought it was amazing. Maybe the response and loyalty to the royal family were written as the basic codes in the chips of the low-level machine men, but he was the highest-level machine man who had abandoned the chip and used the energy unit. But why did he also feel a pure strength in his spirit? He saw the glory days of the machine civilization and the legend of the Milky Way. The immortal machine civilization was the King of the universe and the ruler of life. He thought he understood. This was the power of the royal family. This was the reason why Sayers Silas made a royal family. Any species, including machine species, needed spirit. The royal family was the spirit of the machine men. It was written as the basic code in the machine man’s chip and energy unit millions of years ago. **** Kenneth paused and looked at Evan Silas. “The machine species didn’t fight in the Galaxy for killing people but for benefits.” Kenneth said solemnly, “Maybe you don’t know that machine man originated from humans.” The people who watched the ceremony were all surprised and started to discuss it, including the people in front of the TV. “What? Humans made the machine men?” “What does this machine king want to say? Does he want to issue another forced regulation?” Evan was also surprised that Kenneth said things that were not in the plan. Evan suddenly thought it was weird. The machine men’s red eyes were made out of silicon chips with high energy, which shouldn’t show human emotions. But why did he see the desire for murder in the King’s eyes? He heard Kenneth say word by word, “All the species are equal. If the slaughter before has caused panic and hatred in humans, then I apologize to you in the name of the King. I will issue my first decree. The Colonization Articles will be abolished, and the constitution and the laws of the Alliance will be effective again. All the machine men will retreat to Planet Hope and never interfere with other species’ lives or enslave them. Humans on different planets and the Zergs will have their societies back in order. The Zerg Queen and other leaders of the rebel army will be released. The machine men will not be punished. I will nominate Patrick Lewis, the Commander of the Alliance, as the Marshal. From this day onwards, the machine men, humans, and the Zergs will obey the laws of the Alliance and ensure the safety of the citizens in the Alliance.” His earth-shaking words had surprised all the machine men and humans at the square. The humans in other places were also astonished. “What did the machine King say?” Someone said, “Am I right? Is he going to abolish the Colonization Articles?” “What are the machine men doing? They were so cruel before, but now they want peace.”“My God. Could it be true? It’s so great. This machine King is a nice guy!” **** Evan Silas was stunned. He never expected that Kenneth would say something like this because it wasn’t in compliance with his attitude before. He felt that he had fallen into Kenneth’s trap. Why did Kenneth fight for human interests? Why did he nominate “Patrick Lewis” as the new Marshal, which meant that he would lose his power? Patrick Lewis? Didn’t he die? Evan Silas suddenly understood everything and stared at Kenneth Silas. Kenneth also looked at him and said in a sharp voice, “Commander Evan Silas, I will deprive you of the command power, and this order will be effective immediately.”Evan Silas was furious. If Kenneth had the emotions of humans, then he must’ve simulated a human before. If the machine men who killed Patrick Lewis had sent a real image of Patrick’s body, and Patrick Lewis was still alive. Then was the human that Kenneth Silas simulated was Patrick Lewis? Kenneth’s machine arms suddenly shone with blue light, and the shock wave of energy suddenly rushed to Evan Silas. Evan immediately grabbed a machine man and hid behind him. Then he flew upwards for over ten meters as if he was an eagle, and his scream resounded in the square! “Traitor! Why!” **** In the era of the star war, especially after the leaping technology of machine man and the energy bombs were developed, the combat capability of a single soldier wasn’t that important. Therefore, humans had never seen the machine men’s real power. Today, they finally saw it when the machine King, Kenneth Silas himself, arrested Commander Evan Silas, who still tried to struggle. The TV signal was cut off, and the five machine men retreated to guard the periphery of the square. The humans were immediately evacuated, but some people stayed there and watched the two machine men fight. They jumped up and down, and the blue light heaved as if it was the tide of the sea.
