Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 854: Chapter 22: Sea of Life

In Black Rose’s impression, Bionic A was a typical major bionicist, obsessed with the bloodline of bionics, valuing it above all else. For someone like that, to actually give up the ’Bionic Ancestral Imprint’?

Honestly, killing him would have been easier than this.

It was precisely because she knew the trouble this entailed, that Black Rose dumped this problem onto the Cloud Nobility.

But unexpectedly, the Cloud Nobility quickly brought good news, and it was unexpected good news at that.

”We’ve already tested it, and there’s no problem with that ancestral imprint. We can finally achieve what my ancestor never completed!”

Professor Aixin excitedly looked up at the ceiling, which at some point had turned transparent. Faintly visible, a nearly kilometer-long bionic man appeared on the upper level. Though incomplete, it vaguely resembled a ’Black Rose.’

Deity Black Rose!

Those huge eyes were filled with ruthlessness, indifference, and intense divinity.

Black Rose frowned slightly, and the mini-controller on her fingertip lit up. Soon, the ceiling reverted to its metallic sheen.

”Becoming a deity means completely abandoning the past and becoming an existence from another dimension. Under the gaze of the gods, only the evolution of civilization exists, and there are no personal feelings or attachments. You should understand this even better than I do,” Professor Aixin warned.

”If I weren’t aware of that, I wouldn’t have taken this path,” Black Rose paused, then said, ”but before I become a deity, there is one more thing I must do.”

”What is it?” Professor Aixin asked curiously.

”Farewell.”

...

Not only various factions of the Cyber Tide were brewing something, but Gao Gong was also preparing for it himself.

The day after returning to the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, this Minister once again vanished, as did Captain Forest Leopard, the naturally SS-Level carbon prodigy.

Gao Gong’s departure left behind a mountain of accumulated work.

For example, Skull Society members launching attacks everywhere, destroying super corporations.

Millions of ’artificial data’ disappeared, and in life, these ’artificial data’ had all purchased various toys from Fairy Tale Toy Land.

The Holy Brain Group went on the offensive, destroying a base of the Skull Society for unknown reasons.

Increasingly, super corporations began to unite, aiming to eradicate the increasingly arrogant members of the Skull Society.

Rebel organizations were growing in number and size, and finally, the first continent-level rebel organization appeared, named ’Spark.’

The Fortress gained a super bodyguard whose name was unknown, but whose methods resembled golden Eternal River Flowing Sand, engulfing everything.

Players were still grinding tasks globally, dying quickly but leveling up rapidly due to the sheer number of tasks available.

With the weaponry of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division now accessible, there was suddenly a way to obtain high-level prosthetic bodies.

Some players had already broken the level 40 ceiling and begun to reach the level 50 tier.

...

Gao Gong reappeared over a sea area, looking out over a vast expanse of white, the entire sea surface covered in ’snow.’

Gao Gong held a black umbrella, though such a regular umbrella was useless against ’larvae fragments.’

It was primarily psychological comfort.

Behind him was Forest Leopard, tightly bound.

Forest Leopard remained in a state of cyber psychosis, babbling incessantly: ”My dear Minister, did you bring me here to have a fight with me? I was careless last time, give me another chance, I guarantee I’ll finish you off!”

Gao Gong stayed silent, his eyes scanning the sea surface as if searching for something.

Seeing no reaction from Gao Gong, Forest Leopard’s eyes grew increasingly red, seeming ready to erupt at any moment. His aura climbed from level 50, level 60, seemingly about to break into Tier 2.

In fact, the body of an SS-Level Radiation Beast had already brushed the floor of Tier 3.

Tier 3 carbon-based warriors were already known as Interstellar Exploration Warriors. They could adapt to most planetary environments and withstand ordinary levels of interstellar war, possessing the power to single-handedly destroy several Sky Carriers.

In the underworld, they were referred to as Cosmic Elite Species.

Clearly, Forest Leopard belonged to this tier, and in a state of cyber psychosis, his thoughts were even clearer.

It was well-known that martial artists with clear thoughts generally saw dramatic improvements in their abilities.

The golden armor reappeared and turned into a dark gold, so powerful that bubbles ’gurgled’ up from the surrounding sea.

The Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division’s specially made sealing device began to crack, and Forest Leopard’s muscles twitched autonomously, each cell seemingly brimming with its own life force.

”Ahhh...”

Gao Gong silently watched, sarcastically noting:

”You’re patching too many styles there; what are you exactly, a Hades Saint, a Super Saiyan, or practicing the Celestial Demon Disintegration Skill?”

”Though I don’t know what you’re saying, Minister, soon enough... soon enough you’ll know what a born warrior is!”

”I might not know what a born warrior is, but I’d recommend you tone down your aura; you might attract a big one, and she’s not as easygoing as I am.”

Forest Leopard visibly hesitated.

He didn’t understand why Gao Gong said that, but his battle intuition told him something was off.

In fact, without any battle intuition, merely normal vision sufficed to see that all the seas were boiling.

Gao Gong opened the Purple String Space, and sure enough, on numerous rhombic mirrors were reflections of the planet’s seas. More precisely, the seas across the entire Southern Hemisphere were steaming intensely.

This hot air is different from bubbles, it’s an abnormal high temperature, a high temperature that even gave Gao Gong a feeling of facing a star core directly, and under the effect of this high temperature, the ’snow’ covering the sea surface began to slowly melt.

This ’snow’, isn’t real snow.

In the next moment, the sea surface suddenly split open, and an indescribable giant tree rose from the sea, instantly leaving countless scars on the ocean; each ’scar’ was a massive tree root, comparable to a giant object, and where these giant objects gathered was the ’Radiation Life Tree’ covering the vision.

And, just as Gao Gong said, the carbon fusion aura erupted by Forest Leopard quickly attracted a section of tree root. The thick tree root, like a wall, wrapped around Forest Leopard, pulled him inside, and then sank slowly.

”See, I told you, don’t go crazy, going crazy gets you tree raped,” Gao Gong shrugged at the incredulous look on the other’s face.

And in the next moment, another tree root split the sea and came out, wrapped around him in the opposite direction, and dragged him down.

”The last time I saw such a cool tree was in Fire Shadow.”

Soon, the sea surface returned to calm, as if that monstrous tree never existed, and the Armed Space Station in outer space also completely failed to capture the image of the ’tree’.

However, the disappearance of ’snow’ on half of the planet’s sea surface was real.

On the ’bare’ sea surface, suddenly waves surged as if countless figures and countless worms were swimming.

It seemed that another giant object’s will was angry.

...

Gao Gong felt as if he entered a massive ’water body’, unlike entering seawater, this kind of water body gave him a strong life force feeling.

All rivers return to the sea, not the ocean sea, but the sea of life.

The matured Brain-in-a-Vat is a large-scale Information Life, with a body at Tier 3. This Tier 3 is the Tier 3 of the Planet Host, not the Tier 3 of small fry players.

But this is not the limit of the Brain-in-a-Vat, its limit is the ’Gaia’s Will’, or in other words, in another way, the Sea of Life, it embraces all things, nurtures all things, yes, it’s that same thing from EVA.

Gao Gong could clearly feel that it reached the Tier 3 Limit, even vaguely broke through Tier 3, reaching Tier 4.

In the seawater, Gao Gong’s Life Value was rapidly increasing.

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

[Your Life Force (Biological) +100 points]

...

Gao Gong’s Life Value was rapidly increasing, quickly turning into +10000, +20000.

Ultimately, he gained a total of 40000 in Life Force.

Finally, in the center of the sea of life, Gao Gong saw Little Lady No. 2.

Most of the time, Little Lady No. 2 feels like a holographic projection to people because to a certain extent, she is just Huang Yuanli’s second personality, just far stronger than the first personality.

However, now Little Lady No. 2 feels like a complete living entity.

She sat cross-legged in the center of the Sea of Life, and as the radiation bloodline evolved, the Luca Energy was visibly swirling around.

Gao Gong silently walked over and sat cross-legged across from her.

Little Lady No. 2’s eyes were already wrapped in crimson, the skin surface had constant tree bud movements, and the stronger the Luca Energy, the weaker its Life Magnet Field.

This seems contradictory, but the reason is simple.

The more she tries to simulate the ’Radiation Life Tree’, the stronger the fusion rejection she faces.

Now, she was merely hanging by a thread.

”You came at the wrong time, two days earlier, she could still speak,” Keramos’s voice sounded, then from the blood-red sea surface, a blood-red human figure rose, gently placing a palm on Gao Gong’s shoulder, bringing a burning sensation.

”So, if I didn’t come, were you planning to just go ahead?”

”She kept her last breath just to release that big tree when the Memory Mother was born.”

Gao Gong shook his head, rather than saying she’s a high IQ version of Little Woman, it’s more like she’s a loli-fied Professor Han, truly playing with her life.

Fortunately, he also guessed this point.

With a gentle grasp of his palm, in an instant, a large amount of green energy bubbles surged out from his body, flooding into the other’s body.

6th Collapse: Spirit of Ecology

Although this is an extremely fragmented Destruction Form, no matter how you put it, a Destruction Form is a Destruction Form, the extension of a Cosmic Relic, the effect is still incredibly powerful.

Soon, a shadow appeared under Little Lady No. 2, and the entire shadow became increasingly vivid with the infusion of the ’Spirit of Ecology’.

Soon, a green light flashed in Little Lady No. 2’s eyes, and she regained her divine wisdom.

”No need to rush to speak, calmly sense it, and strive to become the carrier of destruction as soon as possible, this will greatly help you in suppressing rejection.”
