Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 804: Chapter 328: The Uncrowned God

Underground Test Center

Body of No Concern, a most unique Tier 3 Civilization Architecture.

Gao Gong was installed inside, doing the final debugging work.

Black Rose silently watched this scene. The Body of No Concern isolated the outside, and once Gao Gong was inside, he couldn’t hear the external sounds.

”Do you think he noticed my anomaly?” Black Rose murmured to herself.

”Ha, you underestimate our lover. Last night, he already noticed,” another voice of Black Rose echoed.

”Seems like it was too comfortable,” Black Rose suddenly revealed a lazy smile, ”After all, in a strict sense, this is also my first time.”

”Hmph!”

”Is it my turn next?” another voice of Black Rose sounded.

Meanwhile, inside the Body of No Concern, Gao Gong was meditating quietly.

Installing six pieces of Black Technology prosthetic bodies at once, even for him, required ensuring no problems occurred.

Fortunately, Sister Rose’s bionic ancestor bloodline was indeed powerful. After the adjustments, there wasn’t a single issue.

Seeing the Mechanical System’s transformation rate reach 300%, Gao Gong exhaled deeply.

The core technologies of four Super Corporations had been implanted in him. In other words, if he were a player, starting from scratch, he would have to grind to full level faction reputation to qualify to purchase these core technologies.

But considering the cunning nature of these Super Corporations, in the end, they probably wouldn’t equip him but instead find a reason to dump him into a cesspit.

Not becoming part of the core management and yet mastering core technologies, are you looking for death?!

”Debug complete, do you choose to leave?”

”Leave.”

The space rippled, and Gao Gong’s figure slowly appeared, looking no different from before, still god-like. But on closer inspection, the surface of his skin had a few fine line cracks, losing some divinity and gaining a non-human trait.

On the ground, Black Rose was smilingly looking at him. Gao Gong returned the smile, the light of Divine Knowledge flashed in his eyes.

Black Rose’s attributes were refreshed again.

Everything else remained the same.

However, this time, the name Black Rose (No. 2) changed to Black Rose (No. 3).

’...’

Gao Gong slowly floated down, looking seriously at Black Rose.

”Sister Rose, can you now tell me what happened to you on Night Star?”

”Are you that curious about me?”

This Black Rose’s demeanor seemed to have changed again, becoming much younger, transitioning from a rich lady to a young woman, looking at him with clingy eyes, directly hugging him as he descended.

”Alright, since you want to know, let me show you.”

As the words fell, the scene before Gao Gong’s eyes changed, the ceiling disappeared, replaced by the ’Star Chain’ formed by the Asteroid Belt, with the nearest meteorite less than a hundred meters away.

What he was stepping on was the moon of the Mechanical Split Star, Night Star.

Black Rose had connected her Perception System to Gao Gong’s Perception System.

”Here lies an old Bionic Man research base of the Tri-Element Group, the place where the last piece of Bionic Man ancestor fragment is sealed.”

Following Black Rose’s gaze, Gao Gong walked into the central base of a Ring Mountain, descending slowly, not sure how long he walked, until a colossal figure appeared before him.

It was a bionic figure over a hundred meters tall, seemingly female in appearance, with a missing left arm on the upper body, exuding a Venus-like incomplete beauty.

If it were a hundred-meter Mechanical Body, it would likely only evoke shock, and when seeing Satellite-level Mechanical Bodies or even Fixed Star Robots later, even the initial shock would fade.

But if this hundred-meter life form was a vivid, lifelike human, this shock turned into an indescribable eeriness.

Especially because that face shared a few similarities with Sister Rose.

”Actually, the Tri-Element Group initially didn’t want to create Bionic Men; they wanted to create gods.”

”Gods? What kind of gods?”

”On a religious level.”

”Then I understand which kind it is.”

”Of course, they failed. Gods are not so easily created. However, the technology to create ’gods’ was applied on another level, becoming an indispensable component of this era,” Black Rose paused, saying: ”It is called ’Corporate Will.’”

”So it was it!” Gao Gong murmured.

This thing’s function is akin to the ultimate experience of 996, not only pua-ing employees but also the management, with a focus on equality for everyone.

So it was you who invented it!

If people found out that the root cause of the corporate era was the Tri-Element Group, the stock price of this group might plummet to the bottom, although it might also surge dozens of times.

Since you invented the ’Corporate Will,’ your company management must be strong, right? Good news, major good news!

”The failure to create gods led to Bionic Men becoming mainstream in the market, which is probably the reason for the Tri-Element Group’s decline.”

Black Rose nodded.

”I originally only intended to take the final bionic fragment, but once I merged with it, I unexpectedly connected with a female scientist from the Tri-Element Group. Her ancestor was one of the scientists who initially created the bionics.”

Black Rose paused and said, ”We reached an agreement.”

Gao Gong now understood why Black Rose would acquire the Tri-Element Group; so that’s the reason.

”What exactly is your agreement?”

When it comes to ’bionic technology,’ the transaction is definitely more complex than just money for shares.

”I made an agreement with her to restart the ’Divine Technology.’”

”I knew it!”

Gao Gong stared at the oversized ’Sister Rose’ in front of him, speaking softly, ”Sister Rose, this bionic society has already taken shape. If you proceed like this, it will inevitably impact this bionic realm and might even destroy all bionics.”

”I’m not a bionic, so the life and death of bionics have nothing to do with me.”

”But what if you are also destroyed?”

”I look forward to this happening.”

The last sentence, quite like the original Black Rose, in the Iron Sand Desert—a woman beautiful and deadly like a scorpion—harbors a strong self-destructive desire.

”God of Bionics!”

Gao Gong murmured to himself.

Even if you count the past life, the number of bionic civilizations Gao Gong has dealt with can be counted on one hand. Firstly, this type of civilization is indeed quite niche and rare; secondly, regardless of the type of bionic civilization, many of its members look alike. It’s even difficult to distinguish models, bodies, or faces, let alone identify the civilization leader.

Does this belong to the Gestalt Civilization? Or the Hive Civilization? Even researchers of cosmic civilizations find it hard to say.

But as a seasoned player, Gao Gong clearly feels that this technological path is rather aberrant. In fact, any technology path associated with ’gods’ tends to be somewhat crooked.

This could very well end up being a civilization poison core.

”However, it’s not entirely without opportunities.”

Usually, this kind of path faces resistance easily, such as how the Punk Group was suppressed by three planet civilizations joining forces.

Sister Rose is already the boss of the four major groups, and she still wants to become a deity. The civilization backlash she faces will only be stronger.

After all, the main body of bionic society comprises billions of bionics. Once these bionics unite, they might even turn against the upper echelons.

Isn’t that how the bionic revolution came about?

All of a sudden, from one Bionic A, it turned into a thousand, ten thousand, even a million Bionic A. Although these Bionic As don’t have the capability for ’nanobiology,’ their strength is not inferior to Bionic A.

Who the heck knows where these things came from; the bionic society itself harbors too many secrets.

”When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman gains. There are indeed opportunities,” Gao Gong said softly, ”I will help you.”

No. 3 Black Rose smiled sweetly.

”Now can you tell me what’s going on?”

”I knew we couldn’t hide it from him,” Black Rose suddenly said.

As her close companion, Gao Gong immediately recognized that this was No. 1 Black Rose, or rather, the Black Rose from the Iron Sand Desert era.

”Aixin told me that the reason why the ’bionic deity creation plan’ originally failed was that the deity’s will was too strong. No matter how bionic it was, it couldn’t produce a complete body capable of harnessing the deity’s will. Even gigantification didn’t work.”

Black Rose looked at the giant bionic in the distance and said,

”So, we changed our approach. We used the current most advanced update technology in the bionic realm. A version of Black Rose harbors a part of the deity’s will, alternating to counteract the pressure of the deity’s will.”

”The deity’s will you mentioned, is it the corporate will of the six major corporations?”

”Yes.”

”That’s why there are three Black Roses?”

”There are four,” the mature Black Rose suddenly changed, doing something Sister Rose could never do—winking, sticking out her tongue, and making a kissing sound. She kissed Gao Gong, and when Gao Gong approached, her face blushed, and her eyes averted.

Pretty darn adorable!

”Fourth Sister Rose, are you Sister Rose from the Tri-Element Group?”

”Yes, little brother.”

Gao Gong was already at a loss for words.

The mature lady, the rich lady, the mature woman, the beautiful girl.

How are you getting younger and younger?

It won’t be underage next, will it?

But the current Sister Rose is strong, extremely strong.

For example, the authority over bionics that Gao Gong possesses can only control the ordinary models of bionics. However, having absorbed the corporate wills of four super corporations, Black Rose is unmatched in absorbing models.

Even, if the circumstances allow, Bionic A and Prometheus can be ’flashed’ and turned into her own.

Gao Gong suddenly realized something, his face changed, and he said, ”Sister Rose, you wouldn’t ’flash’ me too, would you? I am utterly loyal to you.”

Black Rose proudly snorted, ”Loyalty that’s not absolute is absolutely disloyal. Is your loyalty absolute?”
