Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 877: Chapter 45: The Cybertron Incident

The mention of being second-in-command made his face darken directly.

However, he wasn’t naïve enough to argue, like saying I’m the second, you’re the fifth, together we’re 250 (an idiot in Chinese slang).

He fell silent for a moment and then said:

”You still don’t plan on going out?”

”Let’s wait a bit longer. The ’Memory Mother’ of the electronic brain wave hasn’t been born yet. Going out too early isn’t a good idea.”

Gao Gong replied leisurely.

In that duel back then, Gao Gong suppressed two waves of Memory Mother continuously, and in the end, exhausted, he was submerged in the Sea of Life.

His physical body evolved with the decomposition of the Planet Tree, transforming into this continent.

Meanwhile, his spirit sank to the depths of the Information Ocean, becoming neighbors with War.

As for the various tasks on the game forum and the manipulations by Gao Yuanyuan, they were all his arrangements.

The reason for such actions was, of course, to stir things up.

’These players better hold on for a while, or else all my experience will go down the drain.’

To drive the players, tasks need to be posted.

And posting tasks requires spending experience.

Each level of task requires experience within a fixed range; you can give more, but never less.

Like the ’Heaven-Level Task - Mr. G’s Rescue,’ Gao Gong alone spent about five billion experience.

Thankfully, what he gave out was Alliance Experience, otherwise Gao Gong would really have worked for nothing.

’Seems like I haven’t opened the rewards for the few boss first kills yet.’

Too busy playing chess with the old man in front of me.

Gao Gong opened the system panel, with icons continuously flashing, and they were golden ones.

This indicates they’re not ordinary bosses.

[You suppressed the ’Conceptual Parasite’ and ’Pheromone Virus’ waves’ ’Memory Mothers,’ rewards being calculated——]

[These Mothers were Level 118, you killed the enemy across two tiers, system rewards a random ’Tier 4 Skill’]

[You killed this stage’s Memory Mother, experience +2 billion, you may choose ’Tier 3 Civilization Architecture’ *3, Mechanical Puzzle *10, Planet Reputation *5]

...

[You suppressed the ’Ancient Biological War’s’ ’Memory Mother,’ rewards being calculated——]

[This Mother was Level 125, you killed the enemy across three tiers, system rewards a random ’Tier 4 Skill’]

[You killed this stage’s Memory Mother, task rewards: Cosmic Treasure *1]

Another Cosmic Treasure!

Gao Gong beamed with satisfaction.

[You invented the special skill (relic side) ’Evolution Tide,’ Planet Reputation +3, addition of ’Relic Perception’]

Evolution Tide (relic side): Control and out of control, from species evolution to cosmic evolution, this is an eternal topic, and now, within this topic, you have discovered your own solution.

Wow, this skill description is so impressive.

Though still has the same mystifying Riddler quality.

Gao Gong also has another special attribute skill, ’Emperor’s Might.’

Emperor’s Might (exclusive to Mechanical Emperor): Powerful mechanical energy turns into the emperor’s oppression, commanding all machines, possessing absolute control over ancient machines

Unfortunately, the Ancient Empire is gone, otherwise, combined with millions of mechanical armies, the power of this move could reach the level of civilizations.

And the rank of ’Evolution Tide’ definitely surpasses this move.

Just not yet clear how to utilize it.

[Your Neural System Transformation Rate permanently -3%]

This notification isn’t quite pleasant.

Gao Gong recalled that he seemed to have inadvertently seen the true form of the Memory Mother at that time, and then his eyeballs exploded.

What rotten luck.

For ordinary players, if the system transformation rate dropped, it just dropped; they wouldn’t use that much anyway.

But Gao Gong can’t afford such a loss.

The fusion route requires every bit of Human Body Transformation Rate; lacking even a little is like a man missing his private parts, leaving the person useless.

Gao Gong knew a few methods to restore the Human Body Transformation Rate, but without a doubt, these methods are all across the cosmos.

Do I really have to leave the planet?

Suddenly, an idea struck Gao Gong, and in the eyes of War, Gao Gong disappeared, replaced by a vast ocean of blood.

At the center of the sea, countless neural currents flickered incessantly, finally intermingling to form a giant eyeball. The seawater parted as this colossal eyeball slowly rose from the blood curtain.

[Your Neural System Transformation Rate +3%]

I’ve recovered again.

If anything, the greatest benefit from the previous battle, apart from amassing a bunch of system rewards, was unlocking the Tier 4 Bloodline of the Sea of Life.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to create such a massive continent.

The previous introduction of the Sea of Life looked like this—

Sea of Life (Tier 4) (Primordial Bloodline): ???

Now, the Sea of Life looks like this.

Sea of Life (Tier 4) (Primordial Bloodline): The primordial bloodline is the oldest form of life. In the planetary life system, it is the first life, the existence that nurtures all things. It is the beginning and the end of everything. Additional state: ’Life Evolution’, ’Returning to the Origin’

Life Evolution: All life on Mechanical Split Star can evolve and obtain its bloodline.

Returning to the Origin: Returns life to its essence; God returns to God, you return to yourself.

The former is easily understood, and the effect is enough to defy the heavens.

As for the latter, it is the main reason Gao Gong’s body has transformed into an S-Level continent.

Who would have thought that the planet’s oldest ’Primordial Soup’ would actually be a continent made of flesh and blood.

And the greatest function of this ’Returning to the Origin’ is actually digesting bloodlines.

Although the ’Planet Tree’ has collapsed, the planetary radiation bloodline it absorbed transformed into the Sea of Life, merging with Gao Gong.

The amount is even greater than what the system decomposed.

Gao Gong would naturally not miss this opportunity.

If he remembers correctly, he still has 15 types of S-Level bloodlines left to digest. When he returns to reality and all the Radiation Beast bloodlines complete the framework of his new body, without needing to digest, these bloodlines will truly merge with him.

By then, he will possess the combat power of true ’Cosmic Life’.

Cosmic Life is also divided into states.

Juvenile, Adult, Mature.

Currently, he only counts as a ’Juvenile Cosmic Life’, a mere entity that can be instantly killed by a civilization fleet in the universe.

However, once fully digested, he can officially enter the first class of cosmic combat power.

War sized up the opponent, always feeling his smile was very strange, could it be that this guy has been contaminated by the Memory Mother?

”When do we act?” War asked.

”Soon, soon, Cybertron won’t hold out for much longer.”

Gao Gong decided to draw out the ’Cosmic Treasure’ given by the system first.

For a battle spanning three levels, the system is surprisingly generous!

’Whoa, this is——’

Looking at the icon glowing in the inventory, it was a weapon icon.

...

Not only were the players taking action, but Cybertron was also moving.

At first, it was merely a simple ’Alien Machinery Disaster’, a small-scale personnel loss, and Cybertron believed it could withstand it.

Then, when all the ’Memory Loss’, ’Personality Reset’, ’Neurotheft’, ’Conceptual Parasite’, ’Pheromone Virus’, and ’Ancient Biological War’ descended, Cybertron admitted that it was a bit overwhelmed.

The Cyber Tide has one advantage, which is its indiscriminate ’Spiritual Contamination’.

Even spark mechanisms with high-level bloodlines have no difference in winning probability compared to the ’artificial data’ in their eyes.

Moreover, this Cybertron satellite is not the same as Mechanical Split Star.

Mechanical Split Star is a ’Cyber Test Field’, a sanctuary under the protection of an advanced civilization.

Even the ’Cyber Tide’, at the beginning, snuck into the village, hiding from the gunfire.

But Cybertron is different; it’s not the Cyber Test Field; it’s merely the ’security room’ of this test planet.

Therefore, from the beginning, the Cyber Tide focused its attack here.

On Mechanical Split Star, the Cyber Tide only reached the ’Electronic Brain Graveyard’ stage.

However, here, the Cyber Tide had already crossed the ’Bionic Revolution’, reaching the true ’Cyber Tide’ stage.

Thus, despite the many upheavals on the planet, Cybertron, as the guardian satellite, did not act, not because it didn’t want to, but because it could no longer move.

At this moment, ’Cybertron’ had already completed its ’planet-level mechanical transformation’; an indescribably huge mechanical man floats in the cosmic vacuum, its massive mechanical palm seemingly capable of grasping the sun and moon. A powerful stomp of its mechanical leg covers several planetary regions in boundless radiance, and with a shake, countless ’Cybertron Robots’ scatter like lice, beginning to swarm the surrounding ’butterflies’.

These advanced energy weapons can destroy all the defensive measures of a Level 2 Civilization and even most Tier 3 Civilization equipment, but in the face of the butterfly-stage Memory Worms, the damage equals nothing, and even if a ’Memory Butterfly’ is reluctantly shattered, its information rapidly assimilates into the Cyber Tide and then regenerates.

The actual Cyber Tide is the result of these ’Memory Butterflies’ flapping their wings.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, ’General Cybertron’ became ruthless, grabbing forcefully, instantly sucking millions of ’Memory Butterflies’ into the simulation black hole.

However, the surface of this ’simulation black hole’ was forming more and more worm shadows, seemingly wanting to cover this satellite-sized existence.

’A black hole is also information.’

As long as it is information, it can be analyzed.

Not only could the planetary information not be transmitted out, but even the battle aftershocks were firmly sealed within the Cyber Tide.

’This can’t go on.’

Even a tough head like General Cybertron knew that this couldn’t last for long. Once the opponent found the location of the ’Black Hole Weapon’ through contaminated information bodies, it would be over.

’Only by converging with the Deep Net and the Fortress, utilizing the computational power of three planetary computers, can this extraterritorial information monster be repelled!’

With this thought, multiple planetary engines on ’General Cybertron’ lit up, driving this planet-level colossus violently towards Mechanical Split Star. Wherever it passed, asteroids in the Asteroid Belt were first attracted by gravity and then exploded on the surface of the colossus. In an instant, it was as if the stars had gathered, dazzling and resplendent.
