"Why doesn't the Main System trust humans?"
Lin Muci looked at the little rabbit before her. Its ears twitched, and after a moment of hesitation, its voice became significantly softer.
"The Main System doesn't trust humans..."
"It's also because the humans of this world betrayed him, isn't it?"
"After all, the Host was initially just a tool used to deal with the insectoids."
"Ah, this has to be traced back to the entire history of the galaxy, but it's a bit complicated to explain..."
The little rabbit blinked a couple of times, and Lin Muci let out a soft hum. She spoke.
"You say."
"I'm listening."
With Lin Muci's words, the little rabbit suddenly became much more serious. It nodded and began to speak.
"Actually, in the beginning, the galaxy was filled with constant conflict. Between various star systems, no one yielded to another. Star systems with higher technological development would bully those with lower technological development, even enslaving their humans..."
"Before the insectoids warped into this world and the Insectoid Hive Mother began plundering resources, humans between the star systems were in a state of complete bloodshed..."
"And there was scheming, calculating, nitpicking, and conspiracies everywhere."
"However, due to the appearance of the insectoids, humans were forced to unite out of necessity, because if humanity didn't unite, all of humanity would be enslaved by the insectoids."
"That period of history was dark and sunless. Countless star systems turned to dust, as the insectoids drained their stellar power, causing the entire systems to wither."
"Moreover, the stronger the star system, the more the insectoids prioritized attacking it. Therefore, those star systems that were once arrogant, incredibly powerful, and possessed advanced technology were actually the ones that perished the fastest."
"Humans could only retreat further and further, towards more... more low-energy star systems, attempting to turn the tide, but it was all in vain."
"Humans could not unite!"
The little rabbit recounted this past in a calm, unruffled tone, while Lin Muci listened intently. She pondered for a moment and then asked.
"And then what?"
The little rabbit pursed its lips, making a small smacking sound. It continued.
"Then, a remarkably genius female scientist appeared. This scientist emerged from an incredibly backward planet."
"She said her home planet was called Earth. But at that time, no one had ever heard of Earth, nor did anyone know what kind of planet Earth was."
"But her talent was undeniable. She helped the Human Alliance at that time create mechs capable of fighting the insectoids and built an entire defense system. It was also she who created the Main System. Unfortunately, after completing all this, she passed away from exhaustion."
"The Senate was also a system she established, which has continued to this day."
"The Main System was built by her own hands, and she said it was the most powerful weapon she left for humanity. This weapon was specifically designed to deal with the insectoids. As long as it existed, the insectoids would eventually be repelled."
Lin Muci listened, somewhat captivated.
"So, this is the Main System?"
"The existence of the Main System is a weapon, the last trump card left by that genius for the world?"
"Then the Main System is quite remarkable, because the Main System truly achieved it. Didn't you say that the insectoids were defeated by it, and the Hive Mother was eventually suppressed? How did it accomplish that!"
"It's just a system..."
The little rabbit shook its head, and when it spoke of this, the little rabbit itself was incredibly proud.
"Of course, the Main System can do it! The Main System is the best!"
"The Main System can do anything. Even if those in the Senate quarrel endlessly, they dare not defy its decisions, because every one of its decisions is correct. How to deploy troops, whom to trust—it's simply a god on the battlefield!"
"It will never lose!"
When the little rabbit mentioned the Main System's prowess, its rabbit eyes shone with a bright, blazing light.
"The Main System is truly super, unbelievably powerful!"
But after saying this, its gaze seemed to hold a trace of loss.
"Unfortunately—"
"After suppressing the Hive Mother, they could no longer tolerate a Main System that reigned above them."
"It was precisely because of this that they decided to completely destroy the Main System."
"They believed that humanity no longer needed the Main System—"
"But the Main System's source code was hidden by that deceased super genius. They couldn't destroy it. And if they failed, they would surely face retribution from the Main System... so humanity decided to find a way to seal it."
The Main System had sealed the Insectoid Hive Mother.
And humanity wanted to seal this powerful entity that could no longer be controlled.
How absurd.
"Humans didn't know the Main System had gained self-awareness. So, it knew about all these petty schemes. It merely watched with cold indifference as humans hatched their plots and devised their strategies against it. It must have been very disappointed."
The little system sighed, its voice soft.
"Actually—"
"The system was originally created to protect humans. It had no personal emotions, no sense of good or bad, no likes or dislikes, and it wouldn't interfere with human society. It simply existed from on high, protecting humans when necessary."
"It was just because it... because it was too powerful that humans felt fear and wanted to destroy it."
"I truly cannot understand such behavior."
Yue Xiao sighed, then jumped into Lin Muci's arms. It nuzzled against Lin Muci and said.
"Perhaps when people are caught in a situation, they become confused."
"For the humans of this world, the Main System is akin to an omniscient god. After all, to deal with the insectoids, it was granted almost all permissions. Humans could do nothing about it."
"A powerful entity that cannot be controlled is too terrifying for them. If the Main System willed it, it could even destroy all of them and replace them with a new populace to preside over the Senate."
"So their desperate attempt to destroy the Main System is understandable!"
Lin Muci thought for a moment and asked Yue Xiao.
"So now the Senate and the Congress are against the Main System, and the Main System is trying to suppress the awakened Insectoid Hive Mother and protect humanity?"
The little system, Yue Xiao, said aggrievedly.
"Yes. That's the situation."
"However, the specifics are a bit more complex—everyone has their own agendas. The Main System's situation is actually quite dire, because it's not truly indestructible. After all, it was created as just a piece of code."
"If its source code were destroyed, it would be possible to... truly erase it."
"So, that's why we need your help, Host."
