Chapter 569: Chapter 257: The Three Great Freedoms of All Humanity

After nine rounds, the four strongest competitors emerged.

Tai Sui, Yak, Wei Miao, Themis.

Each one had overwhelmed their opponents to enter the semifinals.

This situation was truly unprecedented.

It meant that these four were staggeringly powerful.

Such monsters were not unheard of, but typically only one would appear.

This time, however, there were three.

Hmm, Themis doesn’t count. A high-order Angel Envoy entering the fray is basically bullying.

The entity of Themis is at least on par with the Dragon King, and its consciousness surpasses that of a super AI, meaning it was inherently unfair to compare it with a human.

Moreover, in past years, no one from the military would participate, and robots were excluded.

So in reality, there were only two.

Tai Sui and Yak, both were from Crime Prison Island.

"Fight! Fight fast!"

"I want to see Tai Sui battle Themis."

"Yes, the other two seem a bit lacking. Tai Sui and Themis, they’re the ones truly invincible without any weaknesses."

"The final battle, it’ll be between those two."

The audience simply assumed Yak and Wei Miao would finish at the bottom.

Even the commentators who were almost Tiger Kings saw it that way.

Tai Sui had been explosive in performance, and Themis was, after all, a high-order Angel Envoy.

This tournament seemed to have been put on just for their showdown.

"In the round-robin, who’ll start?"

"Ah? Why is it Wei Miao?"

The semifinal format was different, with one contestant facing the other three in turn.

The one who defeated all three would be the Tiger King.

If they each had victories and defeats, with no one undefeated, then the round-robin would continue.

Until a contender with three wins emerged.

And the others would be ranked as the runner-up, second runner-up, and third runner-up according to the win-lose relationship and total victories.

The first to enter the round-robin was Wei Miao from the military who would choose whom to challenge first.

She was also the only woman among the four strong.

"I choose to challenge Tai Sui," Wei Miao pointed at Gao Xin.

Gao Xin nodded his head and returned to the arena, "Beautiful, how would you like to lose?"

Wei Miao looked at Gao Xin determined, "I won’t lose. I must return to the military."

Gao Xin was taken aback, "Return to the military? What does that have to do with this?"

Then, he seemed to remember something, "You are a prisoner of the navy, did they promise to let you go if you won the Tiger King title?"

Wei Miao shook her head gravely, "No, just defeating you and Yak is enough."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow. The difficulty was the same.

Indeed, the organizers had changed so many rules and attracted so many participants this time just to test him and Yak.

After all, they were human anomalies.

No matter how strong the others were, it didn’t matter; they fell within what could be calculated by the cloud of fate.

"No wonder it starts with you... it’s you who are to test me first, and if you fail, then comes Themis," Gao Xin laughed.

Wei Miao, wearing light armor, took a spear from behind and unfolded her armguard, forming a shield.

"You are also a Saint of humanity, the only hope for humanity against the fate of AI."

"If it weren’t for the situation I am in, I would have done everything I could to persuade you to join the military."

"But I’m sorry, in order to return, I must defeat you here."

Gao Xin said, "No big deal, it’s not like we’re going to really die."

Wei Miao smiled, "I’m glad you understand, Tai Sui. You are far easier to communicate with than Yak."

"Welcome to join the military."

Gao Xin’s mouth twitched, "Hey, I haven’t agreed to join the military."

Wei Miao puzzled, "But you’re a Saint of humanity, how could you not want to change this world?"

"The existence of a Saint is chosen by the collective will of human civilization to break all chains of fate."

Gao Xin was confused, "Wait, first tell me, what do you mean by Saint? Are you referring to the human anomaly?"

Wei Miao nodded, "Yes, that’s what the Angel Envoys call it. Don’t you know that about yourself?"

Gao Xin’s expression turned strange, "I know, but so what?"

"Let’s not talk about whether I might not be the so-called Saint; even if I am, do I have to join the military?"

Gao Xin had thought, like himself, there were thirteen Dark Logicists.

But after seeing Yak’s performance, he realized he might have misunderstood.

Yak had no dark logic. He was born with a connection to the great Holy Spirit, or was struck and fused by some fragment of Holy Spirit information.

In simple terms, he had attained Divinity.

It seemed that these human anomalies were actually various Divinity bearers.

Gao Xin, however, was not one of them.

He had no divinity at all; he was merely an ordinary person who, by chance, comprehended a complete set of dark logic to become an awakened one.

Which was superior was hard to say, as there were no precedents.

There were twelve other Divinity bearers, but in his case, there was only one. No one had told him anything, so he had to fumble on his own, continuing to understand.

When Wei Miao heard his retort, she blinked in realization, "Oh, you don’t know what our military does?"

"Don’t misunderstand, this is not about pulling you into some cult or gang."

"As long as you desire to change the status quo, commit to resisting AI rule, and hope for a new era of human civilization, then you can join the military."

"You can think of it as a unified human front against the global government. The current ranks are just to facilitate combat against the global government. Once the goal is achieved, nobody is going to bother you."

"Because the military’s ideals, to put it simply, are about the three human freedoms."

Gao Xin cocked his head, "Three freedoms?"

Wei Miao’s eyes filled with conviction, "Material freedom, time freedom, space freedom!"

"The first one is to have everyone enjoy the freedom to use materials, life’s necessary resources that are inexhaustible and limitless, able to satisfy all material needs."
