Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 339: Chapter 111: Void Realm

The alarm of Research Station No. 7 blared loudly.

Xiao Yu abruptly drew his Dragon Scale Greatsword and resolutely headed towards the main gate; the Mechanical Armor Soldiers couldn’t stop him even if they tried.

”It’s not your turn to make a move yet.”

Countless blood threads descended from the ceiling, coalescing into a human figure. The surface of this figure’s body was composed of countless writhing blood threads, with even more threads intertwining from all directions.

”Boss, there’s still ten minutes,” Dr. Rong’s voice suddenly rang out.

”Three minutes will suffice.”

As soon as this figure appeared, the lights in the entire Research Station No. 7 ’buzzed’, flickering unsteadily.

The 5th Generation Miller suddenly halted, squinted his eyes slightly, and felt a wave of danger rapidly approaching. The ’Biological Branch’ on his body surface began to increase, absorbing the rampant pheromones in the air.

Then, a silhouette abruptly appeared in front of him.

It was a human form constructed from countless blood threads.

”Are you the one who took away Gao Yuanyuan?” The 5th Generation Miller calmly said, ”Hand over the girl, and I’ll consider giving you a chance to become my subordinate, implanting within you the most advanced alien bloodline, and introducing you to a new world.”

”A new world,” the blood thread figure scoffed, ”Firstly, don’t assume that anything alien is inherently good. The bloodlines you’ve exchanged in the Cosmic Black Market are nothing but second-tier remnants unwanted by Ascension Civilizations. How could true civilizational treasures possibly fall into your hands? The knowledge and technology you trade for are the real treasure; a comprador must have the self-awareness of one.”

”Secondly, look at your feet. The radiant bloodlines born from this planet are no less than any alien bloodlines. More importantly, their potential hasn’t been maxed out. Compared to the exhausted potential of second-tier alien bloodlines, the bloodlines of this planet even have the potential for ascension.”

”How dare you brazenly talk about ascension?!” The 5th Generation Miller laughed furiously.

”What’s ascension anyway? It’s not like—cough, I’ve never seen it. I’ve witnessed it three times; how many times have you?”

The 5th Generation Miller fell silent, viewing the guy before him as a frog at the bottom of a well peering into the sky.

He began to search for traces of Gao Yuanyuan.

In the Brain Disc, the expression of the Paradise Bird changed.

That entire area the size of a football field unexpectedly began to slowly shrink, as if the entire space was a disk being cleared, with the artificial data inside starting to format.

”Senior Sister, aren’t you going to help?” Ahong, whose strength had greatly diminished, became quite docile.

The Paradise Bird remained silent. On one hand, according to her agreement with that guy, she wouldn’t make a move unless absolutely necessary. On the other hand, she couldn’t discern what method the opponent was using.

She couldn’t see it, but Gao Gong immediately recognized it at a glance.

”Did you bring a small-scale Void Realm with you?”

The Void Realm is a space inhabited by many Information Life forms, a dimension beyond three-dimensional space plus one-dimensional time, also known as five-dimensional space-time.

This small-scale space has a trait—devouring Information Life forms, especially those Information Life forms that leave coordinates within the Void Realm.

The more Information Life forms it devours, the stronger it becomes. Someday, after devouring enough Information Life forms, it could become a ’higher-dimensional life form’ itself.

Gao Gong was more familiar with it than the Nest. The sketch version of the Cosmic Fantasy Land is a large-scale Void Realm.

”Did you even ask for my opinion before trying to catch me?”

In the next moment, the silver handgun of the Source Code Killer manifested, shot with a few flicks, hitting the real-world coordinates of the Void Realm precisely.

The passage of the research station vanished, replaced by a torrential digital rain.

Unlike the digital rain of Cyber Space, which falls from one direction from above.

This is because the brain circuits of intelligent beings are the same, even if brainless idiots also are.

But in the Void Realm, Information Life forms lack brain circuits, and the rain hits from all directions, with raindrops colliding, generating a segment of code, or a neural circuit, or a fragment of a personality.

If the information density is sufficient, Information Life forms can be born here at any time.

”Originally, to break your golden body, it might have taken some effort, but you actually used a Void Realm right in front of me.”

”Do you know the other nickname of the Void Realm? It’s the Supercomputer Space, you outer space illiterate!”

The exquisite phantom of a young boy flickered, spitting out endless starlight, each star glimmering embedded with an information stream, forming a neural circuit structure.

For a moment, Gao Gong’s thinking speed accelerated by ten thousand times, conversely slowing down the 5th Generation Miller’s thinking speed by ten thousand times.

Gao Gong could even ’see’ clearly what the other was thinking.

’How could the other know the Void Realm?’

’Could he be an emissary of the Supreme Being?’

’The Void Realm is out of control.’

Then, the 5th Generation Miller made a decision he thought was correct but was utterly wrong—he released the Nest.

Countless branches spread wildly from his body surface, these ’branches’ oscillating between insect shells and tree limbs. If it were a mature Nest, it could even inhabit an entire star, not a planet, but a fixed star.

But not to mention maturity, this Nest bloodline couldn’t even be considered activated, being stillborn, clearly showing that this generation of Miller had been tricked.

Of course, placed on the planetary level, this bloodline is still powerful. The mere ability to suppress other bloodlines isn’t something ordinary planetary species can achieve.

And at the same time, Gao Gong initiated the ’Genetic Slash’. In an instant, countless white lines appeared between the two.

The 5th Generation Miller only felt that every white line was like a noose hanging over his neck.

Countless white lines converged, directly slashing the core genetic chain of the previous nest bloodline.

If Miller had a game panel, he would see that his biological rejection went from 0 to 10,000 in an instant.

His eyes turned blood red abruptly.

Then something unexpected happened.

In the supercomputer space, no, a huge hole suddenly exploded in the void realm.

The figure of this Cloud Nobility vanished instantly.

Even Gao Gong was taken aback; ordinarily, shouldn’t you be going berserk for your life?

So cowardly?

[You defeated a level 60 special NPC, Cloud Nobility - Miller Clone, EXP +100,000, Specialization Points +3, Skill Points +5, Reputation (Underworld) +5,000]

The illusion in the void realm gradually disappeared, eventually turning into a top-like object still spinning on the ground.

”Damn it, can’t you be slower? I rushed over as soon as I got off the operating table. Would it kill you not to show off?”

Blood Silk Gao Gong’s neck rotated 180 degrees, seeing a mechanical skeleton emerging from behind, with two mechanical tubes inserted.

Compared to normal human bones, this one resembled Ultron more, various mechanical bodies perfectly synchronized with the body, whether it’s titanium alloy bones, reproductive soldier body, or Steel Gun Banner, the original shape was unrecognizable, especially the carbon atom reactor in the chest, which had completely disassembled and dispersed into each energy particle ejection port.

This kind of ’fission’ seems incredible, but only evolution in the mechanical system could achieve it.

It’s like the evolution of carbon-based monkeys into hairless wise apes. The hair’s gone, but they got stronger.

[Your human mechanical system - Transformer is complete, Endocrine System +1%, Circulatory System +1%, Respiratory System +1%, Digestive System +1%]

[Your mechanical energy +5,000]

[You’ve gained the talent - Mechanical Transformation]

[Your mechanical system transformation has reached 75% max, reaching the level 20 transformation limit, please upgrade before further transformation]

[Your mechanical system efficiency +75% (Transformer bonus), energy release efficiency +50%, species adaptability +80% (Transformer bonus)]

[You have reached the upper limit of mechanical transformation rate at levels 10 and 20, earning the title: Mechanical Perfectionist]

Mechanical Perfectionist: With a wondrous sense for mechanics and no hindrance, you will more easily grasp changes in mechanical bodies and provide guidance.

”You idiot, if we could’ve kept this thing, who knows how many alien bloodlines we could’ve dissected!” Mechanical Gao Gong cursed angrily.

”How would I know this thing’s even more cowardly than I am,” Blood Silk Gao Gong explained dryly, hesitating, ”Should we chase it?”

Mechanical Gao Gong gave him a glare, and in the next moment, mechanical transformation began. It was easy to see that this type of transformation accumulated from reproductive soldier body transformations, Dragon Knight transformations, and even Gun Fighting Skill transformations, with small components beginning to reassemble, larger mechanical bodies, Steel Banner Spear, mechanical skeletons beginning to deeply integrate. Such in-depth integration was impossible before completing the human mechanical system.

Then, a mini flying device hovered in the air.

Mechanical Transformation: ’Transformer’ ability, within the scope of the mechanical system, you can transform into any shape you desire.

”Your form reminds me of a phrase.”

”What phrase?”

”Man on man.”

Blood Silk Gao Gong leapt on, stepping onto the flying device, the next moment, it shot out of the research station.

As it turned out, Gao Gong indeed overthought it. An hour later, the two Gao Gongs returned to the research station empty-handed, by which time seawater had already flooded up to their calves, with various robots urgently repairing and the drainage system operating frantically.

”Let’s merge, any longer and there’s going to be a personality split sign.”

Blood Silk Gao Gong’s gaze flickered.

”I think, like with the younger sister, it’s not impossible.”

”What nonsense!”

Mechanical Gao Gong leapt up, tearing open the other’s chest with a claw, the next moment, countless blood silk threads plunged into the gaps along the arm. Soon, the original Gao Gong emerged.

[Your bloodline has entered a weakened state, all attributes -30%, duration 3 days]

[Your Biological Rejection +3,000]

”No wonder you’re so rebellious, turns out it’s that time of the month.”

”Biological rejection, once the organism transformation reaches great perfection, balance will be restored.”

...

Meanwhile, in the ocean’s sky, 5th Generation Miller was also caught in biological rejection, but he suffered far more than Gao Gong. Several alien bloodlines were jostling to emerge, yet still suppressed by the nest bloodline, inside his abdomen, the shadow of a large insect crawled slowly.

”I want to self-terminate, return to the main body.”

”No, I can still hold on. Nightless City has a whole medical team that can solve these issues.”

”Can’t give the main body trouble, it’ll interfere with the upcoming plans.”

”Why, everyone shares the same personality, why is he the main body while I’m just a clone?”

”He’s important, and I’m not?”
