Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2028: Chapter 2023: Too Late for the Organic Body

So, it really turned into Mechanical Ascension?

And it’s complete?

The notion that Extraordinary Perception has completely disappeared is not exaggerated. In the blink of an eye, Fu Qian confirmed he had lost any method of obtaining information beyond normal senses.

Where his vision reached, calamity reigned.

Where his vision couldn’t reach, he could only rely on the immense grace of the ruler.

Yet, simultaneously, the might of the Tyrant was unmistakably real; if it happened again, there should be no problem killing the Dragon King with three punches.

To describe it precisely, it’s as if he has fully transformed into a metallic structure, invincible and unmatched, while completely abandoning the internal mushy parts, severing ties with his heart surpassing material.

It’s truly a unique sensation, even the perspective of the Mythical Form, previously deemed full of gears and mechanical parts, has changed.

More precise, more perfect.

Though the appearance remained the same, it was like a host with only the case left unchanged, the interior fully upgraded, and the complete might of the Tyrant surged between the increased interlocking mechanism.

So the previous incomplete abilities weren’t a problem of the form; ”mechanical” was not a crude imitation of the Ancient Superior Being, and now even the broken modules have been found.

Very powerful, but indeed very bizarre.

Even that ”perception” of internal status earlier was reconstructed by collecting similar signals and isn’t the same as the previous Extraordinary Perception.

In summary, he seems to have reached the pinnacle of some state, an incomparably pure mechanical Superior Being—even canceling the Mythical Form wouldn’t change that.

His figure quickly shrank, soon making the throne beneath him less fitting.

Observing the almost negligible damaged flesh, Fu Qian instantly confirmed there was no improvement in the situation of Extraordinary Perception.

...

The ”reorganization” process just now seemed to involve an incredible sublimation.

Scars, curses, distortions... the damage caused by that assassination night, some even being the indelible ”Poison,” were all resolved in this process.

And now he, even if canceling the Mythical Form, walks the earth as the complete Abandonment King.

Fu Qian controlled his eyebrows to twitch, confirming through this gesture that he still had his original face.

But there are two issues here. The first confirmation method, like the ”perception” of internal structure before, is a purely technical means and still lacks Extraordinary Perception involvement.

Secondly, at this moment, he’s still wearing the Emissary’s Mask.

Theoretically, without voluntarily adjusting it, it should be the face of the bookstore owner ”Fang Xun.”

Indeed, after becoming a big figure, is it easier to not change names while acting out of place?

Although not a big issue, as this alias is already somewhat semi-public.

But the slight trouble is, he seems to need to readapt to the new face-shaping method.

Fu Qian moved the other eyebrow, quickly transforming his face to the image of Shangjing.

Under the exaggerated control, not only remained precise, but the speed hadn’t slowed much.

Compared to before, it felt like a technical replacement of an impressionistic style, lacking a certain essence.

It’s not just this lacking spirit.

Fu Qian continued to raise his hand, releasing several invisible bullets with a whistle.

Air Bullet, one of the earliest acquired Extraordinary abilities, is still present, but on one hand, the ”presence” is somewhat different, and on the other, the realization process is less involved in Mysticism.

For instance, the ”heads” fired just now, if he wishes, he can directly control their shapes or whether they rotate.

If not controlled, they are overly regular circular sections.

Then there’s body transformation.

Fu Qian’s other hand instantly transformed into a hideous giant claw, exactly the previous imitation of the Bloodline Clan’s Dark Claw.

No issue, but this is also a result of precise control. If purely following the feeling to let it freely play—

The next moment, the Dark Claw slightly deformed, in summary, became more hideous.

Compared to the original mystical darkness, the lines became more rigid. The sharpness of the claw tips is akin to daggers, even the sharpness of the lines is the same.

Straight or curved, but undeniably have an unnatural geometric sense—the same feeling that Mad Fire gave.

In summary, Extraordinary effects remain but the form has changed subtly, like the difference between Godzilla and Mechanical Godzilla.

Even though the claw is black in color, the latter has more metallic texture like the Bird Blood back then.

Hiss——

On the hand that Fu Qian triggered the Air Bullet, five fingers simultaneously exploded into tentacles, each with its own distinct characteristics—

Black-red tentacle, fang-toothed blind snake, mechanical tendril, electronic python, and simply a sharp whip with spikes at the tip...

Amazing, they are still supported by the flesh.

Facing this remarkable transformation, Fu Qian was momentarily amazed, without much negative feeling.

Though the fundamental reason is unclear, as a pragmatist, the increase in ranking and battle power is very tangible.

He’s now undoubtedly a human-shaped weapon; among the old friends, none would want to take a punch.

The trouble is elsewhere—clang!

Fu Qian poured out a pile of rings and other tools of various colors and styles, manipulating them casually.

Sure enough.

Some passive effects remain unaffected, like Messenger, like Tranquilizer.

And those with no usage requirements, like the Eternal Clarity Mind which Young Master Qin can also activate.

But some effects attached to the equipment requiring Extraordinary Perception as a medium for activation now face difficulty.

Fu Qian picked out the Dark Moon Ring from seemingly embracing the lone moon, wearing it and feeling its eternal coldness.

Yet after a moment, still couldn’t find the switch for Frostburn.

Clear Dream Ring is the same...

And Affection...

A sizable portion of equipment seemed to have lost its operating system; could it be that to use them again, he must first consume them through Insight?

Somewhat extravagant.

Because whether the effects can be preserved is hard to say, and the slots for Insight are limited.

Besides, there’s missing Just One More Sword, Dimensional Poison... even the originally unrestricted state that allowed checking the SAN Points status anytime.

These are presumably still there, but completely out of reach.

In summary, an interesting change worth studying further, with a more practical issue at hand... Fu Qian glanced down at this Land of Self-Abandonment.

This place clearly exists in an unreal realm; without Extraordinary Perception, if he leaves, can he return—of course, he can.

The richly textured Dark Claw opened, and the next moment, a wisp of fine sand flowed in from beneath, quickly gathering, melting, transforming...

Finally forming into small parts, stitching together.
