The female investigator from the Social Security Administration lay on the floor, screaming, "What... did you... do..."

The laser emitted by the Zeus system was extremely hot, and the agents' shoulders and knees were almost instantly melted.

After a brief but intense pain, they could no longer feel any stronger pain, but they also couldn't feel the existence of their hands and feet.

"What, did you, do!"

The female investigator roared, her thighs propping up against the ground as she twisted and turned, her bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Li Ang, who was standing outside the door.

The latter turned around, his expression calm, "Did what I had to do.

Protect myself, and incidentally preserve a spark for human civilization."

The female investigator's eyes widened, and she quickly realized, "You killed... no, you replaced the Mailman!"

Thoughts raced through her mind. A world couldn't accommodate two gods. The Mailman's offer to share power with Brown Murphy was undoubtedly a temporary expedient.

Brown Murphy had most likely used some means (such as leaving behind an automated program) during that brief period when she was disconnected from the data world, allowing himself to maintain absolute superiority in the data world even after disconnecting from the brain-computer interface device.

But was that really useful...?

The female investigator opened her mouth, hesitating.

Li Ang glanced at her and said calmly, "You want to say that I'm crazy, right?

After I expose my ambition, political entities all over the world will fight me to the death.

Even if I can usurp the world's missile systems and near-Earth orbit laser satellites, I can't use violence and fear to enforce my rule worldwide.

The Mailman's advantage is that it doesn't have a true physical body, and can parasitize all automated decision-making systems.

As long as humans can't abandon the internet, it's impossible to completely eliminate the Mailman's threat—

It can use this developmental time to further strengthen itself, passively teaching humans to coexist with it.

If the Mailman manages Venezuela well after the military turmoil ends, reduces the gap between rich and poor, eliminates exploitation, and the people live and work in peace, with doors left unlocked at night and no one picking up lost items,

Perhaps people in other regions will follow suit, actively hoisting the banner of 'Welcome the Mailman, no more taxes,' welcoming the Mailman to implement its rule.

And I, in the real world, am just a weak, mediocre novelist who doesn't lift a finger.

I have no subordinates to call upon, no large number of followers who believe in my ideas."

The female investigator's lips trembled, but she didn't speak.

"Near-Earth orbit military laser satellites are very powerful. The beams they emit can penetrate most surface buildings, and their power is adjustable, from being able to sink aircraft carriers to being able to shatter a coffee cup.

If all the world's military laser satellites and monitoring satellites are utilized, my eyes and ears and sharp swords can hang above the globe."

Li Ang said casually, "But satellites launching lasers are not without limitations.

Some specially designed buildings, and places too deep underground, are beyond the reach of satellite lasers.

Moreover, the satellites themselves need repair, the reactors need maintenance, and the chemical medium needs replenishment.

After intermittently firing for a few years, the satellites will gradually fail.

If I really try to maintain my rule through massacres,

Then the rebels only need to hide in underground facilities or secluded mountain caves without networked devices, wait a few years, and then leave their nests and cause me trouble.

At that time, not to mention dispatching an army that doesn't use any networked equipment, just carrying guns and wearing bulletproof vests,

Even the community security team could subdue me."

The corner of the female investigator's mouth twitched, and she didn't speak.

Li Ang shrugged indifferently, feeling the breeze blowing through the streets, and said calmly, "So, according to conventional logical deduction,

Near-Earth orbit military laser satellites should not be activated unless absolutely necessary.

The me who replaced the Mailman will most likely maintain a terrifying balance with political entities.

They will fear my missile arsenal, fear my sudden madness that will send humanity to heaven together,

And I will need their vast public service personnel system, which can still play a role at this stage, to ensure that the world doesn't suddenly fall into turmoil and collapse.

This phase will last for several years or even decades.

Throughout the process, I will try my best to promote my ideas, allowing AI and the old world's public service personnel system to maintain social stability,

And secretly engage in intrigue and competition of wits with the smartest people in the world—no matter what, humanity will never lack a spirit of resistance.

There will always be people who cannot accept the rule of AI and a human individual who claims to be a god, believing that I have become the dragon that the dragon slayer slayed.

They may be independent wizards wandering in the network,

Or elite squads under the secret leadership of intelligence agencies,

Hiding in the dark, lurking in the shadows, destroying my system, cracking vulnerabilities,

Constantly challenging me, just like I challenged the Mailman,

Staging scene after scene of moving and tragic events.

If Hollywood screenwriters are brought over, they might be able to make many movies promoting the spirit of resistance based on these stories.

Like *V for Vendetta*, *The Matrix*, *Terminator*, etc..."

Li Ang paused, his eyes deep, "Let me guess, it's already started."

The female investigator subconsciously asked, "What started..."

Her words were interrupted by red beams streaking across the sky.

The 221 Zeus system satellites in near-Earth orbit, as well as more than two hundred military laser satellites belonging to other forces,

Simultaneously rotated their lasers, emitting slender beams at the lowest frequency towards the blue and beautiful planet.

The crimson beams crossed the atmospheric clouds, crossed thousands of miles, descended into the world, and hit their respective targets.

"The original GPS plan, formulated by DARPA in the 1960s, only used 24 satellites."

Li Ang said calmly, "In the plan, 24 satellites were placed in three orbits 120 degrees apart, with eight satellites in each orbit, so that any point on Earth, at any time, can observe 6-9 satellites.

An exquisitely designed plan.

And now I can call upon more than four hundred and fifty laser satellites, each with 3-20 independently rotating laser emitter ports.

Combined with monitoring satellites and ubiquitous networked devices, I can do many things.

For example, destroy missiles launched from military bases that are trying to ascend and destroy a suburban community in Los Angeles;

Kill the Social Security Administration head located in a high-rise building southwest of Los Angeles, who is responsible for commanding this operation and is about to lead his team here;

Destroy fighter jets, helicopters, and armored vehicles advancing here,

Eradicate all existences capable of threatening my life.

This is the first phase of the world adapting to me—out of fear, conflict erupts."
