Poison Against Poison
The title of "God of War" is not only a name, but also represents a cutting-edge technological direction.
For example, Shan Shen was known as the "Gear God of War" at the time. He even comprehended the Construct through his own power. The main reason was the "new type of gear engine system" installed in his body, which was 500% more efficient than ordinary human engines on the market.
Similarly, Xiao Yu's Omen Machine represents another direction of biological research—'the biological virus culture dish of the strong colony system'.
Through the life system of the bio-armor, dangerous viruses are actively cultivated and evolved. At the same time, the viruses are also used to accelerate the maturation of the bio-armor.
The Qiangbo Armor itself is a kind of "parasite" on the human body.
Viruses are also a type of 'parasite'.
And now, another parasite has been installed on top of the existing parasite.
It has to be said that this was a wildly imaginative move.
"Old Dan, what impact will biological virus weapons have on you? After all, you've become a robot," Black Python asked with a curious look.
"I can't describe it. When I was fighting him, I felt like the air was crawling with mosquitoes that were invisible to the naked eye. These mosquitoes swarmed together to form all sorts of indescribable illusions, whispering and screaming in my ears. I felt my mechanical arm melting, and my energy gun was crawling with human centipedes. I, I—"
Dan Shen's eyes turned bloodshot again, and his face contorted in a ferocious expression. The senior engineer quickly restrained him, signaling him to calm down.
"No need to say anything more."
The senior engineer paused for a moment, then said decisively, "This isn't a psychological problem; it's definitely a viral problem. The virus that was in you back then hasn't been completely eliminated yet."
Just as neuropathy is not a psychological problem, but a disease of the nervous system.
Based on the other party's current behavior, the senior engineer is certain that this is definitely not some kind of "inner demon," but a genuine biological viral infection.
Most importantly, the senior engineer sensed a familiar feeling about it.
"But boss, what other parts of the body can get infected?" Black Python, that idiot, was quite persistent about this question.
The senior engineer rolled his eyes. "Does the soul count?"
"Spirit, soul?"
"Don't believe me? I'll take you to see for yourself."
The next moment, to the astonishment of the three, the senior engineer unleashed a massive amount of code and numbers from his body, directly covering the entire center of the battle. The sheer quantity was so overwhelming that it engulfed the three present.
"Boss, help! I can't swim!"
The sensation of descending suddenly began.
Sinking
Sink
Sink again
After the feeling of suffocation subsided, the black python suddenly sat up and looked around, only to find itself in a black starry sky.
The black star, about the size of a fist, emitted a faint glow and was spinning around him.
At that moment, the senior engineer and Professor Han walked over.
"Wow, boss, you look even more radiant than my daughter!"
"Grandpa, weren't you just in a wheelchair? How come you can walk now?"
The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype ignored the startled black python and instead looked at Professor Han beside her, explaining:
"I created a virtual space and pulled all three of you into it. As for this data node, I used a monotheistic neural system, modified it into its original code, and embedded it into this space."
"To put it simply, you can understand this as the mental world of a single god."
Professor Han was also surprised, "Your methods are becoming more and more unbelievable. Directly pulling people from the material world to the virtual realm is truly powerful."
Then he asked in confusion:
"But do people really have a spiritual world?"
"Yes," the senior engineer nodded.
"The so-called spiritual world is not a specific thought, but rather an artificially created phenomenon caused by the interference of information flow in the nervous system with some brain organs, affecting vision and hearing. This phenomenon is often related to people's thoughts and feelings, which leads some people to believe that there are souls, mirror images, or spiritual monsters."
"So, boss, why is Lao Du's mental world a black starry sky? Speaking of which, these stars are a bit disgusting."
The black python approached a star, and suddenly countless mouths sprouted from the star's surface, biting at him as it rotated. Startled, he swung a punch, smashing the star into black smoke.
The black python's fist was covered with a layer of black slime.
The senior engineer already had some guesses in his mind.
"Let's go, let's take another look ahead."
The further you go, the more disgusting these stars become. Some ooze out pus-filled eyeballs, while others simply ooze out a liquid resembling "gutter oil."
"Are these his 'neural circuits'?" Professor Han asked.
"No, the mental world originates from the nervous system, but it has nothing to do with the specific structure of the human body. It can be understood as metaphysical thoughts."
"Strange and weird."
The black python muttered behind him, rubbing its hands hard on the clothes, but found that it couldn't get them clean no matter what it did. The black oil stains only spread upwards. For some reason, a sudden feeling of irritation, as if it wanted to tear people apart, arose in the black python's heart.
Reaching the depths of his soul, the 'black stars' were no longer just individuals, but interconnected, forming indescribable shapes. Moreover, the engineer heard various whispers in his ears, and tiny, transparent tadpoles began to emerge from his skin.
Professor Han, standing next to him, was in even worse condition. Large and small black bumps were bulging out from under his skin, looking like little black stars about to crawl out.
"The biological virus that Shan Shen mentioned?" Professor Han asked calmly.
"It should be."
"This single god is really amazing, he hasn't gone crazy yet."
"I've heard that one of the conditions for becoming a God of War is to completely suppress Cyber Mental Illness. His strong mental resistance has kept him conscious until now, but without us, I don't think he can last much longer."
"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph."
A strange, maniacal laugh suddenly came from behind the two. The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype turned around and found that the black python's already strong body had grown even larger, and its hands and feet had disappeared, replaced by four giant snakes that resembled both dragons and pythons. The snake heads had a cross-shaped symbol, like two fishhooks hooked together, one hooking humanity and the other hooking divinity.
Turing Church?
The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype machine, recognized the logo quite well and frowned, saying:
"So, your large-scale blood sacrifices on the other side of freedom are backed by the Turing Church?"
"Boss, what you're saying is hurtful. I'm a black python, not a black dragon," 'Black Python' laughed.
"Don't be ridiculous, Black Python, that idiot, would turn into someone like you?"
The black python, no, the black dragon, stretched its body and lifted itself into the air. Its eyes flashed with black light, and a terrifying biomagnetic field enveloped the four snakes in a thick layer of illusory shadows, allowing them to switch back and forth between virtual and reality.
Such meticulous operation is something a black python, which cannot eat fine bran like a wild boar, could never accomplish.
"Turing Church, humph, those idiots, what 'Ark of Tomorrow', what 'paving the way for the world', I don't care what they want to do, as long as it can improve my strength and make me the true king of the free world, I'll do anything, even destroy the world, let alone blood sacrifice!"
The black dragon laughed heartily, and its terrifying biological aura transformed into black waves, one higher than the next.
The senior engineer actually saw the reverse evolution of the beast tide in it.
Besides its limbs, the black dragon's torso also swayed, transforming into a gigantic black dragon with eyes like copper bells, claws and teeth like sharp knives, and a large amount of bio-energy light emanating from the gaps between each scale.
"Heh, secondary carbon-based fusion, actually able to artificially create an S-class bloodline, impressive."
The senior engineer squinted, his smile growing increasingly dangerous.
Only then did the black dragon notice that not only had he reverted to his 'original form,' but even his 'boss' had transformed from an adorable young boy into his real appearance, standing out awkwardly against the black night sky.
The other person flipped their hand, revealing a walking stick with intricate patterns. The next moment, a blinding white light shone, and as it swept across, the entire night sky was split in two.
Stars shattered, darkness crumbled!
The code is being rewritten, and the underlying logic is being refactored.
It was as if the whole world had been restarted by this one blow.
In disbelief, the black dragon exploded from the blow.
This move was groundbreaking, completely revitalizing the user space.
"Idiot, as an artificial virtual world created by a biological computer, don't you know I have the ability to restart with one click? You should go back and ask your programmer wife."
The next moment, the senior engineer, Professor Han, and Black Python reappeared at the center of the battle.
The black python twisted its neck and muttered to itself, "How strange, I suddenly feel incredibly tired, but it's also quite refreshing, like I just had a massage. Boss, are we back in reality?"
"No," the senior engineer replied.
The black python swept its gaze across the area and, sure enough, the ground, which had been riddled with craters from the aftershocks of the battle, was now completely intact. Even the fallen Shan Shen had stood up, his body unscathed, staring blankly in one direction.
Following the other's gaze, the black python saw a mass of black, viscous, constantly wriggling and changing tiny particles in its line of sight.
The black python only glanced at it a few times before feeling nauseous and vomiting, and quickly looked away.
"I see," Professor Han and the senior engineer exchanged a glance and murmured, "The other party is simulating that 'monster' through a biological virus."
"Only the chaotic information of the 'Memory Mother' could have reduced a Martial God to this state."
"Fortunately, the other party only used a biological virus to simulate the most superficial level; otherwise, even a martial god would have suffered an instant mental breakdown."
"So what should we do now?" Professor Han asked.
"Easy."
Suddenly, a little white light appeared in the senior engineer's hand.
