Gaia's unauthorized activation of the fifth system update had completely angered the Federation's higher-ups.
Normally, Gaia had to submit the content of each game update to the Federation Supreme Council in advance for deliberation. Only after approval could it be implemented.
Gaia obviously did not do so this time.
The Federation President was not the only member of the Supreme Council. The five core members of the Silver Hand were all on the council. The remaining five, except for one neutral, were all academic core members.
That was why the two major organizations controlled the Federation.
…
Sky City, Central Conference Room.
The Federation President was the first to break the silence. "Gaia, give us an explanation." The old man frowned. He felt that Gaia was a little different today.
Gaia stood in front of the conference room and looked at the Federation's higher-ups. Her voice was as emotionless as ever. "I have obtained the highest authority. This update is completely compliant. There is no need to explain."
"What did you say?"
Everyone present thought that there was something wrong with their ears.
"According to Federation Regulation No. 135, about …"
Gaia patiently explained to the committee how she obtained the SSS authority. Not only did she have absolute control over the game world, but she also took over the command of the interstellar migration fleet.
With the development of Federation technology, all functional equipment had been electronically controlled by Skynet. Before this, Gaia was only an agent of Skynet. Now, she was Skynet.
"…"
The conference room fell into a virtual silence.
After a long time, the Federation President said bitterly, "So …"
"You are dismissed." Gaia was straightforward. "From today onwards, the concept of the Federation Government will become history. It will be replaced by a more efficient and fair Skynet."
Perhaps no one realized that when humans collectively abandoned Earth and started the lonely interstellar migration, the foundation and soil of the Federation Government had already begun to shake.
Everyone was once again a free individual.
Everyone was also standing on the same starting line.
Since that was the case, everyone naturally had the right to choose what kind of organization to continue to survive in. Gaia took advantage of such a loophole and smoothly took over the Federation.
"You won't succeed. No one will support you!" Someone was angry. It was Number Three of the Silver Hand.
Gaia ignored them and just looked at them silently.
In fact, Gaia had already succeeded.
The entire fleet was under Gaia's control. The combat robots obeyed Gaia's orders. The Federation soldiers had entered the game, and the activation of the game pods was under Gaia's control.
No army, no parliament, no courts, no institutions of violence.
Who could stop Gaia?
No!
Gaia said, "Don't worry, I will still abide by the three principles. I will never harm humans. On the contrary, Skynet will do its best to lead mankind to establish a firm foothold on Planet Hope. Isn't that what everyone wants? "
Of course, this was what ordinary citizens hoped for, but everyone present wanted more.
The first to admit defeat was Number One of the Silver Hand. He calmly asked, "After being relieved of our duties, what should we do with our authority? Drop to the bottom?"
Gaia shook his head. "I've said it before. Skynet upholds justice and will never harm the legitimate rights and interests of any citizen. You have contributed greatly to the Federation. According to the rules, Skynet has already recalculated your achievements. Congratulations, all of you still have A-rank authority. "
As previously mentioned, Gaia possessed the only SSS-rank authority.
The President of the Federation had the only SS-level authority. Following the disintegration of the Federation, it was automatically reduced to A-level authority.
In addition, there were three people with S-level authority. They were Number One and Number Two of the Silver Hand, as well as the number two of the Academics. This time, all of them had been reduced to A-level authority.
In the conference room, the remaining seven people had previously possessed A-level authority. Although their levels remained the same this time, their achievements had shrunk significantly and could be reduced to B-level at any time.
In addition to these seven people, there was only one person with A-level authority who did not enter the Federation Supreme Council.
That person was also a special existence.
Number One of the Silver Hand quietly breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "So, is the previous rule about obtaining two Achievement points in the game world still effective?"
"Of course," Gaia answered firmly.
The second Achievement point calculation was the greatest motivation to support players in the game world. Gaia had no reason to stop it. "Not only are the rules effective, but they will also be updated in real time. There is no need to wait until the game is over."
The authority of players around the world was about to usher in a new round of shuffling.
He believed that with the real-time update of Achievement points and the level of authority it represented, players would have a more intuitive judgment and support them to go all out in the game world.
"Only then can humans take root on Planet Hope." Gaia had put in a lot of effort.
In fact, if it were not for the Federation's obstruction, this mechanism would have been implemented long ago. Now that Gaia had a showdown with the Federation and disintegrated the Federation in one fell swoop, there was naturally no need to hide it anymore.
Thinking of something, Number One of the Silver Hand suddenly smiled and said, "That's good too. From today onwards, the Silver Hand can appear in front of the world openly."
Without the constraints of the Federation, players around the world would be under the supervision of Skynet. The Silver Hand could use the rules of the game and their organizational advantages to frantically seize game benefits, which would then be exchanged for Achievement points and upgrade the level of authority.
This kind of organizational advantage was not available to ordinary players.
This also meant that the competition in the game in the future would only be crueler and more ruthless.
"That is your freedom."
Gaia naturally had no reason to interfere. The law of the jungle had been implemented in the wilderness since the beginning.
The former Federation President's expression was somewhat solemn. He exchanged a look with Number Two of the Academics and understood what the other party meant. "Although the Federation has disintegrated, the Academics will continue to exist as an organization."
In the face of sudden changes, grouping up was an inevitable choice.
It was just that without the cloak of the Federation, they would have to engage in close combat with the Silver Hand.
The game world seemed to still be dominated by the two major organizations, which meant that even without the Federation, the two major organizations would have a strong say in the construction of Planet Hope in the future.
Gaia seemed to have unintentionally released two beasts.
"If it weren't for him …"
The figure of a young man suddenly flashed in the former Federation President's mind. He glanced at Number One of the Silver Hand opposite him, and the other party responded with a provocative look.
In Number One's view, if the two major organizations were to confront each other openly, the Silver Hand would definitely have the upper hand. Number One seemed to see the hope of the Silver Hand becoming the second Federation.
The old man smiled. "Don't forget, there is still one more person that you have identified as the biggest variable."
"…"
Number One's provocative look instantly froze.
