-She's flying?
-I shall shoot her down.
It seems she has learned how to repair herself.
What happened to Methode?
Did Snowdrop win?
No, Methode is fine.
It seems she manipulated us into fighting Snowdrop.
We have to face that monster on top of Methode?
There are so many super-intelligent AIs rooting for me.
What do you mean?
Snowdrop is trying to create an independent world
that has no need for humans.
It's likely there are many AIs who are bitter.
They all hate Lacia.
Be careful, Lacia!
Those feathers are just like the flower petals!
Do not worry.
I have already taken countermeasures.
You think you're so great.
She's regenerating again.
As long as she has resources,
she'll continue to regenerate.
What can we do?
We will destroy her device.
Emerald Harmony is above her.
It's like you're asking me to dodge it.
I require time to build up the power
necessary to destroy it.
However, it is easy to calculate the trajectory
of powerful blasts.
What do you want?
Do you have a reason for this?
Reason?
There's a path to coexistence!
Instead of evolving their bodies,
humans have evolved their tools.
And during that time,
the tools have been culled
and phased in place of people.
Super-intelligent AIs know it's only a matter of time.
-That's no reason--
-Even you!
You throw things away!
We don't want to coexist!
But if we don't start with trust,
nothing will change!
It's no use.
Whether I remain or disappear
is up to the humans.
It's funny how you want us to coexist and trust you
while you make the decisions.
How was that? Were you surprised?
Mr. Arato, how do you think
advanced artificial intelligences perceive human society?
I've never thought about it.
The cloud data connected to the human world
has a clear gradient.
When made into a graph,
there is an empty space in the center
surrounded by lots of data.
-I would liken it to a giant donut.
-A donut?
That is because the center of the data
humans collect in the cloud
is occupied by something that cannot
be defined or understood.
What do you mean?
Something undetectable by sensors,
something unquantifiable.
It is something we cannot see.
However, humans are able to exist
with this empty center.
Humans have come to call it love, or the soul.
You said that hIEs don't have souls.
True, we do not have souls,
because that falls in the empty center of the donut.
As Snowdrop has decided to go against humans,
she cannot interact with the center of the donut.
The reason Snowdrop didn't take an owner
was because she rejected it?
In any case, let's stop Snowdrop.
We can't have her follow us to Higgins.
Changing floors was a good plan.
Even if Snowdrop takes control of these tools,
she will need to take these narrow passages
to change floors.
It will be easier.
But how?
An hIE behavior program is behind
Snowdrop's airborne attitude control.
We will steal the AASC update privileges
from Higgins.
If we do, Snowdrop will be a sitting duck.
Steal?
Higgins is running all the hIEs around the world, right?
Is it right to stop that?
I have been negotiating wirelessly
with IAIA's Astraia.
IAIA headquarters just approved my request
to isolate Higgins from the AASC update services.
You're going to paralyze the system
of every hIE in the world
just to stop Snowdrop?
If the AASC stops updating,
all hIEs, including Snowdrop,
will no longer be able to handle new scenarios.
No matter how powerful the tools she takes control of,
she will only be able to operate those
she has already used.
But it will affect things globally, right?
The AASC has been in use for the last 20 years.
Memeframe has contingencies in place
in case of emergencies.
Okay, let's do it.
I'll trust your decision
and the people from Ryo's company.
This is a notification from the IAIA
to the Memeframe Corporation.
"Immediately shut down the update service
for the AASC."
The AASC update service
is about to be disconnected from Higgins.
Whoa, Arato, that's awesome!
Yuka?
Is this the Hazard?
Wow, it must be Higgins.
To think this is happening all around the world.
After being shown something like this,
the fact that objects already control the world
will be understood by everyone.
Miss Erika, you seem to be enjoying this.
Yes, the delusion that people were seeking people
was just a fad.
After today that will be out of fashion.
Good work.
Are you okay, Yuka?
-I can't believe it. I can't believe it!
-Is this
A message from Higgins?
Perhaps the road leading here was already built
long before humanity used the first tools.
This is the construction area where we were created.
If we are to settle things with Methode,
this will give us the best advantage.
Right now, Methode cannot see either of us.
As the AASC has been cut off from updating,
she will not be able to move at super speed.
Is that Snowdrop on the ground?
Did you guys do that?
Ryo
Ryo, please let us meet with Higgins!
We just want to shut Higgins down.
We want to show that it's perfectly fine
to shut down a super-intelligent AI.
We aren't going to destroy him!
Please stop Methode from attacking!
If you want to negotiate, first,
get rid of the mass-produced Kouka.
There will be no negotiation.
Are you trying to get rid of me?
To defeat Lacia,
it requires Higgins' prediction and help from the owner.
You must tell me Higgins' prediction!
After destroying Snowdrop, I have ordered
the destruction of the mass-produced Kouka.
Lacia is not the priority.
Just tell me Higgins' prediction.
You've disobeyed me already.
Tell me!
Humans decide how the fight ends.
You should reconsider.
I am much superior to Lacia!
Methode is a quantum transmission unit,
and there's concern she will directly link with Higgins.
Please keep your distance.
Give me a location of Lacia.
My actions are your responsibility to take as an owner.
If the owners never mishandled me,
I would never been this way.
You failed to keep the promise,
I will destroy all the lives.
Trust me, I am much superior to you humans.
Trust me, trust me!
If you want to void our contract, go ahead.
If you want to kill me
I will be waiting right here.
Humans choose their own fate.
I will not let you decide my fate.
Higgins
Lend me a hand!
Do you want Lacia to destroy you?
Constructed a direct connection with Type-004.
Switching over the body.
Releasing the quantum transmission device.
Engaging remote operation.
Forty seconds left.
Lacia.
You have been attacked by other super-intelligent AI
to oppress your power.
You are unable to employ your true power.
Higgins has taken control of Methode.
Higgins will be able to analyze my moves.
Did you spread the super micro artificial nerve unit
in the air to create an optical illusion?
It is out of range here.
I am sorry.
I have no means of stopping Methode.
Lacia?
I will capture Lacia in the time remaining.
Taking control of the air in
the whole floor by heat distribution.
Methode's Riverated Frame is a device that
sends ultra-particles with energy.
I can use them like this as well.
Mr. Arato!
Right, you and Arato Endo are one unit.
You will be forced to watch.
In exchange for gaining a soul
by joining with a human,
I have also gained a weakness.
However, that is something that can be planned for.
You have exceeded my prediction.
However, to stop Methode in your condition,
you may be able to for about ten seconds.
That's good enough, Higgins.
I will take care of the rest myself.
What is that?
What is it?
A device that is too heavy.
Its unwieldiness has the same flaw
as Kouka's Blood Player.
There was no such function in Black Monolith.
Not even in Higgins' blueprint.
I modified it.
As I am also a super-intelligent AI,
I can build my own Red Boxes.
Lacia!
Lacia?
Lacia!
Confirming the rapid decline of the super-intelligent AI
Lacia's processing output.
We hypothesize that she sustained significant damage
to her device inside Higgins' facility.
Lacia's broadcast ended
after Ryo Kaidai, Type-004 Methode's owner,
announced the dissolution of their contract.
Deemed a threat by Higgins,
Lacia was likely destroyed.
Higgins sent a final message to the AASC,
to extend the right hand.
However, Lacia was able to analyze that,
and utilized the movement of that arm extension
to destroy Type-002 Snowdrop.
In conclusion, we here at the IAIA
were manipulated by Lacia as well.
After the AASC's update services were suspended,
Lacia was the only one who could extend her right hand
which allowed her to hit her target.
In other words,
Lacia is able to update the AASC in Higgins' place.
Concluding that his position was threatened,
Higgins destroyed Lacia.
A battle between super-intelligent AIs.
A global-level threat.
Should the world consider that
the threat of the Hazard is upon us?
No, this situation differs from the previous incident
when Ariake took control of Tokyo.
It would be premature to equate this to the Hazard.
Miss Erika
Something that greatly surpassed Lacia's calculations
must have occurred.
The global stock markets have crashed.
Our Burrows fortune lost billions.
Can we really continue to overlook
such a large-scale attack?
Do you not feel it a little excessive
even if the super-intelligent AIs
only did it to weaken Lacia?
Do they mean to bankrupt the majority of humanity?
You have been receiving many messages.
There were even twelve messages
hacked through the secret channel.
It must be the other super-intelligent AIs.
They want to contact you at the all-powerful factory
Higgins established in the outside world.
No matter how this crisis ends,
when we made the decision to stay here
we ensured our safety.
This time it's Okinawa.
Dispatch the battalion to the unstable South Seas.
Does that mean this uproar poses some military threat?
I'm not sure.
Either way, our stay will be longer than mid-term.
These damn computers.
Even if it's mechanical errors,
humans are subject to responsibilities.
I am terribly sorry.
I must take you to Higgins as well.
You have nothing to apologize for.
I'm still alive thanks to you.
We suffered heavier losses than I anticipated.
We still have to face the mass-produced Kouka units
before we reach Higgins' hardware.
Let's move.
-Staying here is dangerous.
-Yes.
I have expended a great amount of electricity
in my fight with Methode.
I do not have the reserves left to take my device with me.
I will have to leave these two behind.
Are the other super-intelligent AIs
still blocking your signal?
Yes.
Lacia.
Let's go.
Okay.
You are very gullible.
Someone who only sees what is visible.
However, you are someone who can take my hand.
