Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 2

Volume 6 - Chapter 45: My Name is Babata

In the marvelous, semicircular shaped hall, the black robed child's small white hand pointed at the center of the ground. Suddenly, a "CHICHI" sound rang, and the metallic floor suddenly split open, revealing a tunnel.

"Come with me"

The black robed child walked in front while Luo Feng followed behind.

"He wants me to go pay my respects to what master? The master that died 50,000 years ago?" Luo Feng was filled with confusion. But one thing was clear: with what the archaeological ruin has displayed so far..... it really wouldn't take any special trick to kill him. So Luo Feng could only forcefully suppress his curiosity and follow one step at time.

At the end of the tunnel, the black robed child leaped down, while Luo Feng also leaped after him.

The depth of the passage was around 30 meters. When the black robed child and Luo Feng landed on the ground below, the dark hall lit up. With a glance, Luo Feng saw..... that this dark hall was empty. The walls formed an octagonal shape but there was nothing inside the hall.

"Open!" the black robed child pointed towards the ground.

"CRACK~~~"

The ground slightly shook and slowly started to split open.

"Master's corpse was placed in an extremely secure location. You'll have to wait a bit to see it" the black robed child looked towards Luo Feng, his blood red pupils caused one to freeze, "Luo Feng, you must be full of confusion now right?"

"Yes" Luo Feng didn't deny it.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Babata! You can call me 'Demon Babata'. Of course, this is how it sounds when translated into earth's Chinese language. It should be called 'xxxx' in the common language of the universe." Even though Luo Feng heard what the black robed child said, he couldn't understand him at all.

Luo Feng froze, Demon Babata?

"The word 'demon' here, is a title I gave to myself" continued the black robed child, "In essence, I'm an AI!"

"AI?" Luo Feng was confused.

An AI like the bald crystal person in archaeological ruin #9.

"However, AIs have different levels! Your simple logic programs on earth have no right to be called an AI! To be able to be called AI..... it cannot be inferior to a human in critical thinking. Like the AI in archaeological ruin #9, only that can be called a true AI" said the black robed child.

"As for me......"

"Even though I'm an AI at my core, after following master for countless years, I have already surpassed an AI. I can be called a 'living AI'! I'm a lifeform like you humans, and animals, plants, etc!" the tone of the black robed child was a bit excited, "I also have various emotions like joy, anger, sadness, etc. And I also have the ability to train myself!"

"And back then, my master prepared a body for me. With that body, I let the name 'Demon Babata' spread across many galaxies in the vast universe!" a bit of pride was on the black robed child's face.

Luo Feng was secretly shocked as he heard this.

Joy, anger, and sadness? The ability to train? How is this an AI system at all. It indeed has the right to be called 'living AI'.

According to what he said, there are four levels: logic programs——AI comparable to the logic of a real human——AI with emotions——living AI.

"In the battle that involved countless galaxies and destroyed countless things in its wake, my body was destroyed and I once again returned to the virtual existence of an AI" said the black robed child with a bit of sadness, "I can still go back to being a virtual AI, but master....." he turned his head to the slowly appearing crystal coffin!
