Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 889: Chapter 57: Cyber Tide 3

The tall and strong figure on the opposite side turned his head to look at the two, for some reason, the two who had merged with the Memory Worm involuntarily took two steps back.

The opponent’s chest had a bone-deep knife scar, evidently the handiwork of the Death God. Yet with the secretion of more worm eggs, the wound gradually healed, only leaving a shallow red mark.

”Mr. G, you didn’t die after all,” the Brain Machine Maker muttered, his eyes narrowing.

Gao Gong smiled slightly, saying nothing. In the next moment, the surface of his body seemed to peel away like paint, with more and more butterflies falling away. These butterflies seemed to disappear into the air, yet they appeared to be continuously flapping their wings. For a moment, the entire sea surface blurred, and in an illusion, the two saw under the vast starry sky, a gigantic entity slowly descending. It was a planet-level behemoth covered with densely packed Memory Worms on its flesh.

”Ah! Ah!!”

The Brain Machine Maker suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if his consciousness was about to be broken into billions of pieces.

The Boss beside him felt the same sensation, only that the feeling occurred at the gaps in his limbs, and any Human Body Implantation holes, as if more and more worms were crawling out from the gaps.

The human body generates about 330 billion new cells every day, 13.75 billion cells every hour, and over 3.8 million cells every second.

Correspondingly, every second, the same number of 3.8 million cells also die.

And a normal person would absolutely not care about the life and death of each cell.

But what if the cells had their own will?

And for the Brain Machine Maker and Boss Ma, now they felt just such a sensation.

On one hand, they underwent various Forbidden Transformations, and the permanently damaged cells seemed to crawl out from hell, wailing, seeking revenge, pulling their bodies toward hell.

On the other hand, they themselves seemed to have turned into a cell, metabolized and shed with the secretion of Memory Worms.

Both monsters let out blood-curdling screams.

Fortunately, at this moment, the vanished Electronic Brain Ghost seemed to notice something wrong with them. In an instant, their heads transformed into electronic skulls, and the previously complex sensibilities, dense and indescribable life changes, suddenly disappeared from their Perception system. Instead, it was replaced by a cold and active sense.

”If even your Perception can be controlled at will, how can you create a device to suppress the Memory Mother? The Skull Society ends here,” mocked Gao Gong. Clearly, he saw through the intentions of the two.

”At least at this moment, Mr. G, your trick is ineffective against us,” said the Brain Machine Maker.

”Seems so, but it appears quite effective against it.”

The two turned back and suddenly saw that the Death God, who in the real world never stood out visibly, was now stalled in place, with the butterflies on its body continuously flapping their wings. Each flap splattered a bit of sparks. A single Virtual Butterfly flap only caused two or three sparks, but the number of Virtual Butterflies on the Death God exceeded a million. Flapping simultaneously, in an instant, dense golden fire erupted from the Death God’s body, in the midst of the flames, the Death God’s flesh crumbled, turned to ash, and was annihilated.

By combining the super information technology of the Skull Society, and using the corpse of the former Skull Society leader Bandai as a base, they created the informational Death God, but in the span of Mr. G’s gesture, it turned to dust and vanished.

”An Electronic Brain Ghost naturally has no effect on creatures without brains.”

Gao Gong said lightly.

Having refined seventeen kinds of S-Level Bloodlines, now his state was akin to that Radiation Life Tree back then, and in the Race column, his race had evolved from ’SS-Level Beast God’ to ’Cosmic Life.’

Moreover, being able to completely refine the bloodline in a short time is really thanks to the powerful efficacy of the ’Sea of Life.’

Sea of Life (Tier 4) (Primordial Bloodline): The primordial bloodline is the oldest form of life, within the planetary life system, it is the first life, and the existence from which everything is nurtured. It is the beginning of all and the end of all. Additional State: ’Life Evolution’, ’Returning to the Origin’

Life Evolution: All life on the Mechanical Split Star can acquire its Bloodline through evolution.

Returning to the Origin: Return life to essence, to god what belongs to God, to you what belongs to you.

’Returning to the Origin’ is refining bloodlines at a hundredfold speed.

Becoming Cosmic Life entails not only an enhancement of Mechanical Energy/Biological Energy, but more importantly, a different life level.

Just now, that was the most basic utilization of life rules by ’Cosmic Life.’

The originally mysterious Mr. G seemed even more enigmatic and unpredictable after his reappearance.

The two exchanged a glance, with almost no hesitation. The brain machine maker’s eyes turned black, and his consciousness transformed into a boundless network of neural electric currents, enveloping Mr. G.

Similarly, from Boss Ma’s massive mechanical body, a section of the ”Ruyi Golden Cudgel” suddenly emerged. Its proper name was the ”Continent Plate Impact Device,” a Tier 3 Civilization Architecture.

On this planet, even within Level 2 and Level 3 Civilizations, no one had ever heard of a mechanical transformation technology capable of implanting ”Civilization Architectures.” It sounded incredible.

The attributes of a ”Civilization Architecture” compared to an ”Ordinary Plugin” were as different as heaven and earth.

With just one hit, the Attack Power reached 10 million, with the additional trait of the ”Planet Drill.”

Super Attack Mode 3: Planet Drill—Under the effect of super power, the impact device directly drills into the Earth Core, detonating the Star Core (there’s a 95.3% probability that the impact device cannot be recovered, and a 34.4% probability of causing a planet-level disaster).

And at this moment, the ocean vanished, replaced by a giant octopus covering the sea. Although many of its tentacles were incomplete, resembling dense Memory Worms, its mostly complete body was incredibly terrifying, especially the aura it emitted, which was indistinguishable from Gao Gong and the tree from before.

SSS-Level Life!

Though it was an incomplete SSS-Level Life, its greatest characteristic made some Tier 3 Civilizations willing to start interstellar wars for it.

It was artificial life.

And artificial implies the possibility of mass production!

At this moment, the illusory octopus covering the sea had two tentacles emerging from the sea, directly entwining Gao Gong’s legs. Just its size made it feel like a giant snake coiling around a toothpick. Strangely, when they entwined, Gao Gong’s legs visibly became transparent, as if they were about to melt into liquid.

And this octopus was an Eight-Clawed Monster made by the Skull Society, using Deep Sea Biotechnology.

Attacks from Civilization Architecture

Control from the Planetary Neural Network

Entanglement from the SSS-Level Ocean

Under the impetus of the Cyber Tide, the Skull Society’s technology had evolved to an unbelievable level.

His consciousness sank within the Neural Network, with endless Neural Signals decomposing Gao Gong’s consciousness. After sealing all virtual means, he had no way to resist attacks akin to hackers.

However, Gao Gong was not worried, allowing his consciousness to be dragged into it because soon a warm liquid enveloped him, and in a daze, he seemed to see a beautiful yet tenderly loving face.

Almost instantly, Gao Gong regained clarity. Facing the adversary’s Civilization Architecture level strike, he stretched an arm straight, and a familiar golden fire instantly burst from his palm, swirling like a vortex. The ”Continent Plate Impact Device” that resembled the pillar of heaven struck his palm, making not a sound, whereas Boss Ma’s true body sprayed countless worm corpses out of its metal shell.

Like the scythe of the Death God, the golden fire manufactured by Gao Gong could also slay Memory Worms.

Just like with his palms, golden fire burned on Gao Gong’s leg areas too. As the firelight shone, the octopus let out a painful wail, two tentacles instantly collapsing. Worms fell from the sky like rain, and the golden fire quickly spread across the sea. Like some battlefield-prohibited weapon, it continued to spread along the sea’s surface, causing anything it touched, related to life, to disintegrate.

The SSS-Level octopus, seeing this, could only wail again, disassembling its mountain-sized tentacle, releasing endless Memory Worms. Some drilled into the void, while others dove into the seabed. Meanwhile, Gao Gong’s gaze fixed on Boss Ma among the three Skull Society members, his palm opened, revealing a section of deadwood.

This section of deadwood looked like a charred tree root, but strangely, both the bark and the tree root remained intact. Even the needle-like spines were neatly shaped.

Triggered by the golden fire, the surface of the tree root shone brightly, unleashing a cosmic life aura stronger than anyone present. The roots expanded rapidly, with each root resembling a dragon or snake spreading out. In an instant, a gale surged, and the Radiation Aura quickly reached SSS level, accompanied by a strange illusion. In a daze, those present seemed to see a burning tree crown and a burning planet.

The descending roots blocked out the sky, entangling Boss Ma’s modified mechanical body endlessly producing the sounds of attacks by Civilization Weapons. Each attack could destroy tens of thousands of giant roots, but the root’s growth far exceeded the strikes of the Civilization Weapons.

As for the brain machine maker, he too encountered troubles. The neural electric grid he summoned, under the authority of the ”Electronic Brain Ghost,” could connect to any electronic brain on the entire planet. Yet now, wrapped in layers of roots, he suddenly felt like his most potent ”Brain-Machine Hacking Technology” had met its nemesis. A transparent brain encased him, and no matter what he did, this brain would spontaneously generate countermeasures, as if he was facing an entire world.

Gao Gong silently watched this scene, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

This section of the tree root was the remnant of that Planet Tree, also the corpse of the Brain-in-a-Vat.
