Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Bai E reached out and the space next to him rippled.

The Sword of Judgment that had slain demons materialized in his palm, and his entire body shot forth instantly.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The sword light flickered in the air, and under the infusion of Spiritual Energy, the air through which the Longsword passed still retained the sparkling Spiritual Energy characters.

Exorcism Magic Circle!

This was Bai E's sole method of breaking the situation at the moment.

By driving out the demonic forces affecting the "bio-brain system" back into the high-dimensional space, the uncontrolled giant would naturally cease its aggressive behavior, and the crisis would resolve itself.

Spiritual Energy surged like a violent tide, quickly activating the characters surrounding the luminescent green iron ring, dazzling with blinding light under the stimulation of Spiritual Energy.

As the Exorcism Magic Circle began to operate, the supreme law drove the forces from the high-dimensional space to be compressed and expelled by the rules of the material world once again.

The deep purple aura was forced strand by strand out of the spherical containers holding heads by the spiritual sense, and the mech's reassembly process finally came to a halt.

"Boom!"

A metal ring studded with green beads fell powerlessly to the ground, the "bio-brain system," no longer under the command or influence of demonic power, finally became harmless.

"Whew~"

Energy sapped, Bai E casually grabbed a set of clothes from his storage space and draped them over himself, then collapsed to the ground.

The energy consumption required for rapid physical reconstitution was, to put it mildly, terrifying.

Although the battle was short, it was the most perilous one he had ever faced!

The security teams and fighters from the combat support group, having seen the giant finally fall silent, cautiously approached.

"General Bai E..." Caesar walked at the forefront, calling out with respectful intonation.

Gazing at the scattered wounds, Caesar asked cautiously, "This creature..."

"It's over..." Bai E, leaning against a mech, casually waved his hand, "It's not their fault. This thing has been corrupted by demons."

"It was the demons' doing?" Caesar blinked, then his eyes lit up, "Was the combat power it demonstrated also because of the demons?"

"Not sure." Bai E equally uncertainly shook his head, "Hard to say, only further investigation by the Scientific Research Institute can determine the true limits of this thing's abilities."

The main value of the bio-brain system was in computing power, but whether the demonstrated combat capability came entirely from its computational abilities and its inherent small amount of Spiritual Energy, or was solely a result of the influence of the ultimate demon of wisdom and trickery, was still a matter of debate.

"I'll notify the Scientific Research Institute right away!" Caesar said, excited.

Even though the actions of this combat group had caused an unnecessary scare in the city, if the creature they had provided truly possessed the abilities it had exhibited, it would undoubtedly be of great help for the development of Blackwater City!

"I've already informed Helen ..." Bai E waved his hand.

Ever since he confronted Helen, Bai E had realized that there was competition within the Institute as well.

Such cutting-edge technology, of course, had to be studied by "one's own people" to be reassuring.

Directly notifying the Institute, you never knew who might show up.

But directly informing Helen, this technology would most likely end up in Helen's hands.

Caesar looked deeply at Bai E and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

'It seems that General Bai has a good relationship with Helen as well.'

Thinking this, several streaks of light approached from a distance.

"Where's the target?" came the buzzing voice from the communicator in the hand of Caesar's deputy.

That was a Mech Pilot from the Mechanical Court asking for instructions.

"Bai E has subdued them, and the scene is now under control. We are handling the aftermath," Caesar took over the communicator and calmly replied.

"Received."

The Central City District, which had been in turmoil all night, finally fell into silence.

The unrest that had kept many on edge was finally quelled, thanks to the cooperation of the city's security forces, including those "unsung heroes."

But the turmoil at another level was just beginning.

Within an hour of the unrest's end, the city council urgently convened all attending council members.

Large-scale unrest often indicated a significant opposition between the city's policies and the people's lives.

If the situation was serious, it could even threaten the city's foundations and had to be taken seriously.

"At 10 o'clock last night, a total of 34 battle groups from The Lower City launched an uprising against the Central City District. With the fastest response from our security forces, fortunately, the unrest did not cause too much trouble for the city. However, we must pay attention to the motives behind the unrest and the factors that triggered it! Only by doing so can we avoid repeating the same mistakes next time…"

"I heard that these battle groups had no animosity; they just wanted to vent their frustrations in the Central City District. In the end, it's because the city doesn't provide a legitimate channel for them to vent."

"If the city doesn't provide toilets, everywhere becomes a toilet. In my opinion, we need to establish a 'toilet' for these folks that we can control," someone said.

The nobles who initiated the unrest began to exert their influence.

No one cared about the real losses caused by the unrest or the real victims. Similarly, no one was paying attention to the special battle group that reached the upper city district.

Their purpose in starting the unrest was for the post-uprising council meeting.

Any military action is an extension of political maneuvers. This upheaval was deliberately instigated by them for some political demands.

"Nonsense! This is not the way to vent, they are seeking death! The actions of these battle groups clearly have a unified planning behind them, they are the dirty means used by some people to achieve their goals!"

Hearing the forces within the city start quarreling again in the meeting, Bai E's thoughts drifted away.

He was not interested in bickering.

In fact, he was only interested in the "biological brain system" research that Helen had already embarked on.

He wondered whether the giant showed such combat capability due to the "biological brain system" itself or because of the demon...

The arguing continued for a long time, until it was interrupted by an impatient voice—

"Enough already! I think everyone has an idea about the cause behind this unrest. Instead of arguing here pointlessly, it's more practical to hold another vote after everyone calms down. Gentlemen, rather than spending a lot of time on this endless debate, we should focus on the most unique aspect of this incident—"

"The battle group called 'Doctor', and the future policy on artificial humans..."

After the incident, all participants in the council received information on the development and reasons behind the event.

While Bai E's role was certainly crucial, for those in the city, such performance from him was simply routine.

If Bai E ever faced a setback, that would probably surprise them more.

What intrigued them more… was the will displayed by the group of veteran artificial humans, and their creations.

"As artificial humans are taking on an increasingly important role in our city, we must start considering policies for this special group. Gentlemen, do you think... we should grant artificial humans the same rights as natural humans?"

The Mechanical Court mecha's record of being instantly killed by the giant undoubtedly shocked many, but the role of artificial humans in this remained unclear to many.

"It's just technology stumbled upon by a battle group by mistake. I think it still needs validation."

"Even if artificial humans mainly developed this technology, I don't believe this inherently flawed group deserves more rights."

"Whatever artificial humans can do, if it were us natural humans, we would definitely do it better!"

"I think it's premature to discuss this matter now. Perhaps, we should wait until the Scientific Research Institute completes the fundamental research on this technology before we can decide the role artificial humans can play."

The next moment, someone shouted, "Helen has arrived."
