Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

After upgrading Gun Fighting Skill (Melee) to Elite lv9, it came with two states: one was just used, the Mechanical Long Weapon Transformation, and the other was ’Human-Gun Fusion.’ This Human-Gun Fusion is somewhat like that in martial arts novels—human and gun become one, with the weapon becoming part of the person’s life system.

Gao Gong moved his thoughts, and a powerful swallowing sound emanated from his palm. He instantly appeared on ’God’s’ right side, using strength from his waist and abdomen. The gun swept upward at the opponent in a rising motion. During the sweep, the gun body buzzed with activity, each joint moving as if ready to change form at any moment.

’God’ was startled, forcing his already chaotic consciousness to once again use ’Spatial Superpower,’ but then he let out a muffled hum.

A bloody hand fell from the place he disappeared from.

It turned out that his spatial superpower wasn’t true ’Space Travel,’ but rather closer to ’Dimension Blade,’ so each space traversal essentially expanded the ’Dimension Blade’ large enough to carry him through.

This type of traversal had its risks; it was fine when consciousness was concentrated, but when distracted, it could lead to him being cut by the ’Dimension Blade.’

Gao Gong knew the time had come.

10 meters away, ’God’ staggered into visibility, enduring the pain, preparing to expand the ’Dimension Blade’ once more.

However, at the same time, with the sensing of the ’Hunter’s Mark,’ Gao Gong swung his left arm abruptly. The Mechanical Gun he held in his right suddenly burrowed into his body and emerged from his left palm. The gun’s joint parts were enveloped with a mass of blood and flesh, extending its length to ten meters.

The elongated gun body swung directly onto ’God,’ wrapping around him while a mass of flesh carpet covered his surface. From within the fleshy carpet, biological straws pierced into his body, and a powerful ’digesting sound’ instantaneously resounded. Gao Gong’s lost blood volume quickly replenished and soon returned to full, while ’God’s’ blood volume plummeted to double digits.

”Refreshing!”

Gao Gong felt invigorated, his spirit bright, and his aura reached new heights. His upper body turned a special crimson color, with his ’big flower arm’ showing signs of further expansion.

As for ’God,’ his eyes rolled back, trembling all over, reminiscent of severe energy depletion.

It had been so long since using the ’Star Absorption Skill;’ indeed, it replenishes what it absorbs.

So satisfying.

Thinking of this, Gao Gong had a bold idea.

By ’pricking’ simultaneously, wouldn’t it create an infinite loop?

Meanwhile, the ’Flying Leopard’ slowly descended to the ground, securing the spaceship core.

Gao Gong’s anxious heart finally relaxed.

He suddenly looked in one direction, coldly saying, ”Come out!”

A middle-aged man in a suit walked out with a light smile, but the thick scent of blood in the air made his expression freeze, especially upon seeing the figure akin to a demon god, his legs instinctively trembled.

This had nothing to do with backbone, purely the genetic-level pressure an advanced lifeform inherently carries!

Genetic Fusions can have varying strengths, and the opponent’s aura even reminded him of those super genetic bodies at headquarters, especially the terrifying girl codenamed 001.

”Let me in-introduce myself. Holy Brain Group, 9-3 Guanzhong Plate Division, Radiation Zone Regional Manager, my surname is Ji.”

As expected, it was the ’Holy Brain Group.’ Gao Gong secretly sighed.

Upon seeing the brain-machine interface, Gao Gong had a premonition, and now it seemed true.

”So, Manager Ji, why are you here?”

Manager Ji’s mind raced, quickly assessing the situation. ’God’ was undoubtedly finished, but now what to do? Support the other side, or turn against them?

The local leaders in the Radiation Zone kill without flinching, and the group’s reputation might not prevail. But ’God’ was their hard-earned creation and a significant achievement for him. Handing it over like this, he couldn’t explain it to the higher-ups. Moreover, this place was hiding lots of treasures from the Imperial Era, which he didn’t want to hand over.

Ultimately, greed won out.

Since the other party was a local leader, just fool them like before, using some of the group’s laboratory scrap to exchange for precious high-tech equipment in their hands.

Manager Ji laughed heartily, ”This so-called ’God’ occupied our group’s laboratory for days. Thank you, brother, for helping our group remove this scourge.”

”This Flame Pass is your group’s?” Gao Gong raised an eyebrow.

”Of course, look at these advanced equipment pieces, how could a madman design them? But rest assured, brother, since you’ve secured this place, then the Flame Pass is yours. Our group will only take these pieces of equipment, everything else is yours, don’t worry, we will give you ten times the compensation...”

Manager Ji spoke extravagantly, packaging Holy Brain Group’s junk products as priceless treasures, making one suspect if he came from a sales background.

”Not that it can’t be exchanged, I don’t use those things anyway,” Gao Gong replied nonchalantly, ”but as for compensation, I want to propose it myself.”

”Please say!” Manager Ji’s spirit soared, feeling he had successfully fooled the other party.

This Genetic Fusion was stronger than ’God,’ his genes definitely more valuable.

Gao Gong pointed at ’God’ on the ground, leisurely saying, ”Give me three more guys like this, and I’ll hand over those high-tech gadgets to you.”

Manager Ji’s face instantly turned ugly, he knew he had been played, his eyes darkened, and one short figure after another emerged from behind.

These were babies not yet a year old, seemingly just transitioning from crawling to walking, mostly girls, with rosy and glowing skin, adorably chubby, in stark contrast to Flame Boy’s pale, deathly skin.

But bizarrely, none of these ’Divine Children’ were whole; some lacked an arm, others a leg, some had lost an eye, or had a fist-sized hole in their chest where even the heart was missing.

You could tell they had just been released from some sort of nutrient pod, as their bodies were covered in a lot of mucus.

Moreover, it was obvious that in their current state, they wouldn’t survive outside for more than a few minutes.

From them, Gao Gong sensed an aura unique to ’gods.’

The babies slowly surrounded Gao Gong. Their skin was a normal human color, but their eyes were a stark white, without pupils, and as their gazes swept around, the floor and walls were filled with countless cracks.

’Damn, they all have spatial talents!’

Gao Gong finally understood why ’gods’ could occupy such a prime piece of real estate.

’God’ is just a rooster laying eggs for the Holy Brain Group.

The purpose of the Holy Brain Group is mass-producing these kinds of ’Genetic Fusions.’

However, clearly this plan was far from successful. The stronger the genes of a life form, the harder it is to compensate for genetic defects. Beyond their physical defects, just a few steps made some of the babies collapse, their aura weak, indicating this thing is just a one-wave attack.

Trying to take me down with a one-wave attack?

Not entirely impossible.

Gao Gong suddenly looked at Manager Ji, who smirked coldly and snapped, ”Do it!”

In the next moment, countless ’Dimension Blades’ appeared on Gao Gong’s body. The most powerful aspect of the spatial system is its indefensibility; presumably, Manager Ji understood this attribute, which is why he was so confident.

Sure enough, faced with these attacks, Gao Gong’s eyes flickered with astonishment, and his body instantly broke into hundreds of pieces.

”This is the price for opposing the Group!”

...

Reality

The Valkyrie curiously flew down to Manager Ji’s shoulder, poking his face with a toothpick-sized little gun, seemingly puzzled about what this idiot was muttering about to himself.

”Don’t wake him up, it took me a lot of effort to get him in this state,” Gao Gong said irritably.

Fortunately, the other party was just an ordinary regional manager. Had he been promoted to a continent-level district manager, or the head of a Mechanical City branch, reaching the management post at C5 or above, he would inevitably be involved in the ’Holy Brain Plan.’ With his brain modified, if both perception and wisdom broke through 50, controlling him would become difficult.

As for eliminating him, that’s even more out of the question. The Holy Brain Group has very stringent control over their management. Even ordinary managers have part of their brain processors segmented and kept at headquarters. Once they die, the Holy Brain Group would definitely be notified.

The Holy Brain Group isn’t like the underground terrorist organization, the Knight Order. It is one of the four legitimate giants in the biological domain, and dealing with you would be straightforward for them.

Moreover, in the ’World Corporate War,’ the Holy Brain Group was the eventual winner, once obtaining the highest authority of the Mother City.

If not for the descent of the cosmic monster ’Memory Worm,’ perhaps that young female CEO could have even annexed other biotech companies, achieving civilization ascension as a ’World Giant Corporation.’

’However, at this point in time, the Holy Brain Group is caught up in a trade war against three major corporations, it’s self-occupied, so as long as I don’t kill Manager Ji, it should be fine for the short term.’

Gao Gong scanned the group of infant ’Genetic Fusions’ again and asked Valkyrie, ”Did you share your power with them?”

Valkyrie nodded, then shook her head, indicating that she just wanted to play with them and didn’t know why it turned out this way.

The Crimson Empress bloodline has an almost instinctual desire for assimilation.

Gao Gong stared at a baby girl and saw a crimson dot deep in her stark white pupils.

He prodded Valkyrie once more, opening the property panel of this little guy, and saw that the ’Genetic Empress’ trait had indeed disappeared from the grey list.

At the same time, the bloodline level was also upgraded from A+ to uppercase S.

Having absorbed a large amount of advanced cells from Genetic Fusions, she evolved.

Watching the tiny figure crawling like a caterpillar all over his body, Gao Gong sighed, then laughed.

”Seems like you’re the biggest gainer after all.”

No wonder you’re a ’Valkyrie,’ you’ve already got your own Valkyrie Corps so soon.
