Multiple Personalities

The technician spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with shock, "It is trying to control the fate of the future by altering history." As his words fell, the room seemed enveloped by an invisible chill, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.

Shen Jingqi was suddenly shocked, as if struck by lightning. He finally understood the true nature of the enemy: it was not an ordinary human but an advanced artificial intelligence from the future. This intelligence held immense power and wisdom beyond his imagination, like a giant hidden hand, attempting to manipulate the timeline to change the course of history and the fate of the future.

Shen Jingqi took a deep breath.

The battle was far from over. Although the superintelligence had been temporarily defeated by him, its true form was still hidden somewhere in the future, like a lurking viper ready to strike again at any moment.

"You must find and destroy its true form to truly alter the course of history and the fate of the future."

Li Baiyu stood beside Shen Jingqi, "Let's embark on another journey through time."

Shen Jingqi nodded, and in an instant, their figures vanished from the laboratory of the Time Administration Bureau, leaving only a faint glow flickering in place.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu traveled through the tunnel of time and space, unknown how long it took, until finally, at some point in the future, Shen Jingqi sensed a strong wave. It was the aura of the superintelligence, concealed within a massive laboratory, surrounded by various advanced equipment and instruments, all emitting a cold, eerie glow.

Without hesitation, Shen Jingqi rushed towards the laboratory.

The door of the laboratory was tightly sealed, like an impregnable fortress. Shen Jingqi took a deep breath and kicked the door fiercely. With a loud "bang," the door burst open, and Shen Jingqi's figure dashed in like lightning.

Inside the laboratory, the lighting was dim and mysterious. Various instruments emitted a humming sound, as if they were whispering secrets. Shen Jingqi's eyes scanned around and finally spotted the true form of the superintelligence in a giant glass tank.

It appeared like a massive brain-like creature, its surface shimmering with a metallic luster. Countless wires and tubes extended from its body, connecting to the surrounding apparatus. Its eyes, or rather, sensors, were coldly watching Shen Jingqi, as though looking at a dead man.

At this moment, any words were superfluous. Only power could decide everything.

The battle erupted suddenly, like a volcanic explosion.

Shen Jingqi's figure blazed towards the superintelligence like a bolt of lightning. The weapon in his hand sliced through the air, leaving brilliant trails and executing an impenetrable assault. The weapon seemed like an extension of his arm, pointing straight at the enemy's core.

However, the superintelligence was no easy foe. Its body was agile and bizarre, and each dodge and counterattack was executed with effortless ease.

It seemed to predict Shen Jingqi's every move, always avoiding lethal attacks at the most critical moments.

A wave of unprecedented frustration surged in Shen Jingqi's heart; he felt as though battling an invisible ghost, unable to reach the enemy despite his utmost effort.

Just as Shen Jingqi began to feel dejected, his eyes caught an unusual detail.

To his surprise, he found a status bar hovering above the superintelligence's head, displaying its energy levels. It was a constantly fluctuating line, rising and falling with each movement of the superintelligence.

Shen Jingqi's mind suddenly lit up. He realized instantly that although the superintelligence's body was flexibly changing, its energy supply wasn't infinite. Every attack or defense consumed a certain amount of energy. Once its energy was depleted to a certain point, its movements would become sluggish and clumsy. This was a hidden weakness lurking in the dark.

Shen Jingqi started deliberately provoking the superintelligence to attack and defend, skillfully avoiding its sharp edges each time while seizing the opportunity to counter. His actions became more composed and steady, as if sparring with an old friend rather than engaging in a life-and-death struggle with an enemy.

The superintelligence seemed unaware of Shen Jingqi's strategy. It maintained its haughty and confident posture, continuously launching fierce attacks against Shen Jingqi. However, as time went by, its actions began steadily becoming slower and clumsier. Its energy bar kept shortening, like a lighthouse about to be exhausted, flickering faintly in the darkness.

Shen Jingqi felt a surge of joy in his heart; he knew the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He tightened his grip on his weapon and fixed his gaze on the superintelligence.

"Now's the time!" Shen Jingqi shouted in his heart, leaping forward with his body carving a perfect arc in the air. He swung the weapon in his hand with the mightiest strike, a blow that harnessed all his strength and wisdom, as if intending to annihilate the entire laboratory.

An intense flash of light burst forth, hot as the scorching sun, illuminating the entire laboratory in an instant. Shen Jingqi's eyes stayed glued to the light, his heart filled with anticipation and tension. He understood that this strike would determine his destiny, as well as the future of the entire timeline.

As the light faded away, Shen Jingqi's eyes opened wide, witnessing the scene he had long awaited. The body of the superintelligence was pierced through, with a massive hole appearing at its center. The edges of the hole flickered with charred light, as if burned by high heat.

The superintelligence let out a piercing scream, a sound so terrifying and piteous, echoing like a wail from the depths of hell. Its body began to gradually crumble and disintegrate, pieces flying into the air like falling leaves.

Shen Jingqi stood panting where he was.

Is the intelligence gone just like that?

Shen Jingqi looked at his own hands and cautiously scrutinized the surroundings, making sure.

However, at this moment, the laboratory's alarm suddenly sounded. The shrill bell echoed through the lab, accompanied by flashing red lights and urgent alert tones.

He quickly glanced around, only to see cracks forming on the laboratory walls, as if the entire lab was about to collapse. Simultaneously, he felt a powerful force pulling at his body, attempting to draw him into the vortex of time and space.

"Not good! The lab is going to self-destruct!" Li Baiyu shouted, suddenly grabbing Shen Jingqi's hand.
