Void Realm

Alarms blared throughout Research Station No. 7.

Xiao Yu suddenly drew his dragon-scale broadsword and resolutely walked towards the main gate, before the mechanical soldiers could stop him.

"It's not your turn to make a move yet."

Countless blood vessels descended from the ceiling, coalescing into a human figure whose body was covered with countless moving blood vessels, and even more blood vessels entangled around it from all directions.

"Boss, there are ten minutes left," Dr. Rong's voice suddenly rang out.

"Three minutes will be enough."

As soon as the figure appeared, the lights in Research Station No. 7 started to hiss and flicker.

Miller suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed, sensing a dangerous aura rapidly approaching. The 'biological branches' on his body began to increase, absorbing the violent pheromones in the air.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a human figure made up of countless blood vessels.

"So you're the one who took Gao Yuanyuan away?" Godai Miller said calmly, "Hand over the girl, and I'll consider giving you a chance to become my kin. I'll implant the most advanced alien bloodline into you and take you into a new world."

"New world," the blood-red humanoid sneered, "First of all, don't assume that everything from outer space is good. The bloodlines you exchanged in the cosmic black market are just secondary bloodlines that ascended civilizations don't want. How could the real treasures of civilization fall into your hands? The knowledge and technology you use for trading are the real treasures. Compradors should have the self-awareness of compradors."

"Secondly, look at your feet. The radiated bloodline born from this planet is no worse than any alien bloodline. More importantly, their potential is far from being exhausted. Compared to secondary alien bloodlines that have exhausted their potential, the bloodline of this planet even has the possibility of ascension."

"How dare you talk so arrogantly about ascension!?" Miller Godai laughed in fury.

"It's just ascension, isn't it? I've seen it, cough, I've seen it three times. How many times have you seen it?"

Miller the Fifth Generation remained silent. In his eyes, the guy in front of him was just a toad looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

He began searching for Gao Yuanyuan's whereabouts.

Within the brain, the bird of paradise's expression changed.

The area, the size of a football field, began to slowly shrink, the entire space resembling a disk being wiped clean, with the human data inside starting to be formatted.

"Senior sister, aren't you going to go?" Ah Hong, whose strength had greatly diminished, became quite submissive.

Bird of Paradise remained silent. On one hand, according to her agreement with that guy, she would not take action unless absolutely necessary. On the other hand, she couldn't figure out what methods he was using.

She couldn't tell, but the senior engineer could tell at a glance.

"You're carrying a small virtual realm with you?"

The virtual realm is the space in which numerous informational beings live. It is also a dimension beyond three-dimensional space plus one-dimensional time, and can be called five-dimensional spacetime.

This small spacetime has a unique characteristic—it devours information life forms, especially those that leave coordinates in the virtual realm.

The more information life it devours, the stronger it becomes. One day, after devouring enough information life, it may even become a "high-dimensional life form".

The senior engineer was more familiar with it than with the Mother Nest; the sketch version of the Cosmic Fantasy Land was a large virtual realm.

"Did the people who arrested me ask for my opinion?"

The next moment, the source code killer's silver pistol materialized, and he fired a few shots, hitting the real coordinates of the virtual realm exactly.

The research station's access route disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming rain of numbers.

Unlike the digital rain in cyberspace, which falls from one direction (i. e., from the sky), the digital rain in cyberspace falls from one direction.

This is because the brain circuits of intelligent life are the same, even those that are mentally disabled.

But in the virtual world, information life forms have no brain circuits. All the rain comes from all directions, and the raindrops collide with each other, generating a piece of code, a neural circuit, or a fragment of personality.

If the information density is sufficient, information life can be born here at any time.

"It would have taken some effort to break your golden body, but you actually used the illusory realm in front of me."

"Do you know what the virtual realm is also called? Supercomputing space! An outer space illiterate!"

The phantom of the stunningly beautiful young man flashed by, and with a single exhale, a sky full of starlight appeared. Each starlight contained a segment of information, forming a brain circuit structure.

In an instant, the senior engineer's thinking speed accelerated ten thousand times, while conversely, the fifth-generation Miller's thinking speed slowed down ten thousand times.

Senior engineers can even clearly 'see' what the other person is thinking.

How did they know about the Void Realm?

Could he be a messenger of the Most High?

The illusory realm has slipped out of our control.

Then, Miller V made a decision he thought was right, but which turned out to be terribly wrong—he released the Broodmother.

Countless branches spread wildly from its body surface. These "branches" are somewhere between an insect's shell and a tree branch. If it is a mature mother nest, it can even house an entire planet, not a planet, but a star.

But let alone mature, this kind of maternal bloodline can't even be considered activated; it's the kind that died in the womb. Clearly, this generation of Miller was tricked.

Of course, at the planetary level, this bloodline is still incredibly powerful. Its ability to suppress other bloodlines is something that ordinary planetary species cannot do.

At the same time, the senior engineer's "Gene Slaying" was also activated, and in an instant, countless white lines appeared between the two.

Miller felt as if each white line was a noose hanging around his neck.

Countless white lines merged into one, directly severing the core gene chain of the previous mother nest bloodline.

If Miller had a game panel, he would see that his biological rejection rate jumped from 0 to 10,000.

His eyes suddenly turned blood red.

Then something unexpected happened.

The supercomputing space—no, the virtual realm—suddenly blasted open a huge hole.

The figure of this cloud nobleman vanished instantly.

Even a senior engineer was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, shouldn't you be going berserk and risking your life?

So sneaky?

[You defeated a level 60 special NPC, a clone of the Cloud Noble - Miller. Experience +100,000, Mastery Points +3, Skill Points +5, Reputation (Underworld) +5,000]

The illusion of the virtual realm gradually disappeared, eventually turning into a spinning top-shaped object that was still rotating on the ground.

"Damn it, couldn't you slow down a bit? I rushed over as fast as I could, straight from the operating table. Would you die if you didn't show off?"

The senior engineer with bloodshot eyes turned his neck 180 degrees in an instant and saw a mechanical skeleton walk out from behind him, with two mechanical pipes inserted into its body.

Compared to the skeleton of a normal human, this one is more like Ultron. Various mechanical bodies are perfectly integrated into the body. Whether it is the titanium alloy skeleton, the colony body, or the steel gun flag, none of them can be seen to have their original shape. In particular, the carbon atom reactor in the chest has been completely decomposed and dispersed in every energy particle nozzle.

This kind of "fission" seems incredible, and only the evolution of mechanical systems can achieve it.

It's like a carbon-based monkey evolving into a hairless ape; without the hair, it also becomes stronger.

Those who are mechanically perfect: The wondrous nature of mechanics is unimpeded; you will find it easier to grasp the changes in mechanical bodies and provide guidance.

"You idiot! If we could keep this thing, how many alien bloodlines could we decompose into it!" the senior mechanical engineer cursed angrily.

"How would I know this thing is even more cunning than me?" the blood-skinned engineer explained dryly, then hesitated for a moment, "How about we give it a chase?"

The senior mechanical engineer glared at the other party, and the next moment, the mechanical transformation began. It was easy to see that this mechanical transformation was a combination of the transformation of the colony body, the transformation of the dragon knight, and even the transformation of gun-fu. Small parts began to separate and recombine, while the large mechanical body, steel flag gun, and mechanical skeleton began to deeply fuse. Such deep fusion was impossible before the human mechanical system was completed.

Then, a miniature aircraft hovered in the air.

Mechanical Transformation: The ability of a 'Transformer'—within the scope of a mechanical system, you can freely transform into any shape you desire.

"Your appearance reminds me of a word."

"What word?"

"Male on top of male".

The senior engineer with bloodshot eyes leaped up, stepped onto the aircraft, and the next moment, the aircraft rushed out of the research station.

As it turned out, the two senior engineers were indeed overthinking things. An hour later, they returned to the research station empty-handed. At this time, the seawater had reached their calves, and various robots were carrying out emergency repairs, while the drainage system was running at full speed.

"Let's merge, or we'll start to show signs of split personality."

The bloodshot-eyed engineer's eyes flickered.

"I think, being like a younger sister wouldn't be a bad idea either."

"That's utter nonsense!"

The mechanical engineer leaped up and tore open the opponent's chest with a claw. The next moment, countless blood vessels slid down the arm and into the gap. Soon, the original engineer emerged.

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

[Your biological rejection +3000]

"No wonder he's so rebellious, it turns out his uncle has arrived."

"Biological rejection? Once the biological modification is fully completed, the balance can be restored."

Above the ocean, the fifth-generation Miller was also caught in biological rejection, but he was in a much worse state than the senior engineer. Several alien bloodlines rushed out, but were suppressed by the mother nest bloodline. Inside his abdominal cavity, a large worm shadow was slowly crawling.

"I want to commit suicide and return to my original self."

"No, I can still hold on. The City That Never Sleeps has a whole medical team that can solve these problems."

"We can't cause problems for the main body, as it will hinder the subsequent plans."

"Why is it that we all share the same personality, but he is the original and I am just an avatar?"

"Just because he's important, doesn't that mean I'm unimportant?"
