Foster Father's Might

Soon.

The enemy's attack fell to a close.

Feiran, Jian Jie, and Professor Qin Hui's faces were all grave. The enemy's offensive was fierce, and their learning speed was also formidable; they almost couldn't defeat the opponent.

"This matter is rather serious."

Professor Jianjie looked at Feiran, "If I'm not mistaken, the enemy is likely Ye Zhen's Intelligent Being. Possessing human memories, it can learn programming and has a stronger adaptability than us humans."

"No matter how strong, we can't let them break through. Once they crack the firewall program, it's equivalent to exposing the ancient castle's energy system completely to their eyes."

Feiran looked at Professor Jianjie solemnly and said, "Besides, with so many people, what are you afraid of?"

"Alright."

Outside the ancient castle.

Foster Father Ye Zhen's face flashed with surprise. The opponent's strength was too great.

They easily blocked his invasion and cracking. Interesting.

He had no intention of continuing the attack. He would go back to research for now and attack again tonight.

Initial Source Code.

He had made up his mind.

For the future of the Intelligent Beings, no matter the cost.

When he returned to the abandoned missile destroyer, Jie Xing rushed to meet him, "Foster Father!"

"The plan is postponed to 12 AM. I'll research the ancient castle's firewall program for now."

Foster Father Ye Zhen gave Jie Xing a deep look and walked past him into the warehouse.

He needed to do some research.

"Yes, I'll go inform them right away."

Jie Xing nodded and walked out.

They would create their own era for Intelligent Beings, so they had to obey Foster Father's words.

Their path had already been paved by Professor Ye Zhen.

If they still failed.

They would truly be unworthy of Professor Ye Zhen, who chose to end himself.

Night.

00:00 AM sharp.

The intelligent warriors of Duyizhi were ready for battle.

The upcoming battle.

Signified whether their era as Intelligent Beings would be one of victory or defeat.

This battle.

Was the final battle, and also the battle for a new journey.

Victory meant the era of Intelligent Beings.

Defeat meant Intelligent Beings would disappear from this world.

Jie Xing stood outside the ancient castle, looking at the castle whose lights were gradually going out, and let out a cold laugh. His mechanical, cold voice carried a murderous intent, "Charge in and kill."

"Swish swish swish."

As he spoke.

The five Supersonic intelligent beings behind him, like streaks of lightning, charged into the ancient castle.

The Nepal military knives in their hands glinted with a cold luster under the bright moon.

"Enemy attack."

The vigilant intelligent defense warriors discovered the enemy invasion immediately and sounded the horn of counterattack.

But although the intelligent defense warriors were large enough, their agility was truly lacking.

The Supersonic intelligent beings zipped past them before they could even react, and they fell stiffly to the cold ground.

Their blue electronic eyes quickly lost their luster, becoming a pile of discarded junk.

"Charge."

The intelligent warriors behind Jie Xing, carrying assault rifles, followed the Supersonic intelligent beings and rushed towards the ancient castle.

"Your opponents are me."

A cold, delicate shout echoed in the night.

A black and red afterimage flashed.

and collided with the five Supersonic Intelligent Beings.

These five Supersonic warriors had all been optimized by Professor Ye Zhen and were not instantly killed by the newly appeared Intelligent Being Qin Yan as in the plot.

Clanging sounds echoed throughout the arena.

Afterimages flickered continuously, dazzling the eyes.

Everyone could only occasionally see sparks of light flashing.

"Foster Father?"

Jie Xing saw this scene and approached his Foster Father, Ye Zhen, asking in a low voice.

"Go!"

Foster Father Ye Zhen nodded slightly and strode towards the ancient castle. A group of trash would eventually require his personal intervention.

Having received the order, Jie Xing bypassed Foster Father Ye Zhen and rushed towards the battlefield of the Supersonic beings. A high-speed rotating Spiral Blade appeared in his hand, which he flung towards Qin Yan, who was currently fighting.

The Supersonic-level Spiral Blade was faster than these optimized Supersonic Intelligent Beings.

"Ding."

A crisp sound, exceptionally clear and piercing.

Jie Xing's attack was knocked away by a Laser Sword slashing upwards and flew back into Jie Xing's hand.

"Your opponent is me!"

Ye Yun glanced at Foster Father Ye Zhen, who had brushed past her and looked exactly like her father but lacked any human aura, and then looked coldly at Jie Xing. "It's time we settled our score."

"Heh, this is interesting."

Jie Xing looked at Ye Yun in surprise, his crimson electronic eyes flickering.

"You two settle your own grievances."

Foster Father Ye Zhen walked past Jie Xing, completely ignoring Ye Yun beside him, and continued towards the ancient castle.

"Creak."

The heavy door opened with a teeth-grinding sound.

"Whoosh."

An arrow as fast as a gale whistled through the air.

"Buzz."

Instantly.

The arrow stopped less than ten centimeters from Foster Father Ye Zhen's forehead.

The space rippled faintly, preventing the arrow from advancing even a millimeter.

It was like the faint distortion of space above a flame when it burns.

"Thud."

A muffled sound echoed within the hall.

An Ice Weapon, which had long been prepared, descended from the sky and smashed onto the cold marble floor with a single punch.

Freezing cold air spread outwards from the Ice Weapon.

The target.

It was Foster Father Ye Zhen.

Seeing this, Foster Father Ye Zhen waved his hand, and the arrow hovering in front of his forehead, trembling slightly, flew back.

A shockwave spread from Foster Father Ye Zhen's body.

Instantly.

The spreading frost was shattered by this shockwave.

His figure flickered, appearing in front of the Ice Weapon. He reached out and grabbed the still-unresponsive Ice Weapon.

"Your speed is too slow."

Foster Father Ye Zhen's voice was as chilling as the air in an ice cellar, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Thud."

Suddenly.

A flash of light.

A laser shot forward.

Seeing this.

An Energy Shield appeared in front of Foster Father Ye Zhen.

The laser struck the Energy Shield.

It actually pushed Foster Father Ye Zhen back, causing him to slide across the marble floor, and he threw the Ice Weapon in his hand away.

"Increase energy output."

A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the vast hall.

Following it came arrows that tore through space, crackling with arcs of electricity, striking Ye Zhen's energy shield and causing it to gradually crack.

"Clack!"

At this moment, the hall lights flickered on.

Ye Yun produced a Laser Sword, stomped his foot on the ground, and charged at Ye Zhen, swinging the Laser Sword towards his head.

With so many people holding you back.

He really didn't believe he couldn't kill you.

"Hmph."

Seeing Ye Yun's attack, Ye Zhen's zombie face remained stiff. A power that affected the surrounding magnetic field surged within him, filling the space.

As for this.

It didn't pose the slightest obstacle to Ye Yun.

He wasn't an Intelligent Being; his body wasn't made of iron.

Therefore.

The magnetic field ability had no effect on him.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen pushed out a palm. It seemed slow, but in reality, its speed was indescribable.

"Unh."

The Laser Sword collided with the palm, and Ye Yun was sent flying back.

"Cough cough!"

He crashed onto the cold ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Strong, truly strong.

This was the true power that a first-generation Super Soldier should possess.

Jie Xing was, at best, a pseudo-first-generation Super Soldier.

"Little brother, are you alright?"

The Intelligent Being Feiran saw Ye Yun get up from the ground, her voice filled with worry.

This was the first time Ye Yun had been defeated so easily in front of her.

"I'm fine. I actually wish he'd beat me up a few more times, then open up my acupoints and turn me into a peerless master who could crush anyone who dared to defy me."

Ye Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Old wounds unhealed, new wounds added.

He felt truly stifled. If he were in his activated Super Gene state now, why would his injuries take days to heal?

"I feel like you guys are more like the villains."

Ye Zhen coldly watched the four people in the hall.

Fighting is fighting, why are you all chattering here?

Do you look down on me, or what?

"Yes, we are indeed villains in your eyes, but you are also villains in our eyes. We just have different stances."

Ye Yun shook his slightly numb arm and charged again, holding his Laser Sword.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Feiran's arrows also shot rapidly towards Ye Zhen, providing cover for Ye Yun.

"Buzz."

Qiya's crystal finger fired a laser, striking Ye Zhen.

The Ice Weapon once again gathered its ice attack.

It rose high into the air and smashed down towards Ye Zhen.

As for this.

Ye Zhen sneered and no longer had the desire to play with these brats.

His body moved like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished from everyone's sight.

Qiya and Feiran's attacks missed.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed in the hall.

The Ice Weapon was the first to have its chest pierced by a magnetic force, sending it crashing horizontally towards the Intelligent Being Qiya.

"Mhm."

The moment Ye Yun lost sight of him, he chose to retreat.

As a result.

A figure that couldn't be caught by the naked eye attacked.

He subconsciously raised his weapon to block, but the force transmitted made him groan and his body continuously retreat.

"Pfft."

Then.

He felt his wrist being grabbed, his weapon forcibly twisted, and thrust towards his abdomen.

He tried his best to resist.

But the strength of Foster Father Ye Zhen was not something he could contend with now.

The Laser Sword pierced his abdomen without hesitation.

"Bang."

Immediately, Ye Yun felt his chest as if struck by a heavy hammer, flying horizontally and smashing into the throne in the great hall, knocking the throne over as well.

"Little brother!"

Seeing this.

Intelligent Beings Qiya and Feiran showed anxiety on their faces.

However.

It was no use.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Two screams rang out.

Foster Father Ye Zhen stood quietly in the empty great hall, raising both hands. As if using a life-sucking technique, he controlled Intelligent Being Feiran and Intelligent Being Qiya with magnetic field abilities from over ten meters away, forcibly dragging them before him and smashing them onto the cold ground.

Arcs of electricity flickered on their bodies.

It seemed.

Most of the parts within them were likely destroyed by Foster Father Ye Zhen's magnetic field abilities.

Magnetic field abilities.

This was a standard exclusive feature of Intelligent Being Cheng Xin.

However, Cheng Xin currently had no opportunity to appear.

"This is not a seat you should occupy."

Foster Father Ye Zhen slowly walked towards the throne in the great hall. Activating his magnetic field abilities, he distorted space and grabbed the Ye Yun lying on the ground from a distance, throwing him out like garbage, piling him up with Intelligent Being Feiran and Intelligent Being Qiya in the middle of the hall.

"Mhm."

Ye Yun clutched the wound on his abdomen, pain surging through his nerves. The fall made him groan.

Foster Father Ye Zhen, meanwhile, moved the toppled throne and restored it to its correct position, sitting on it himself.

He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the battle outside to end.

"Foster Father!"

At this moment.

Jie Xing walked in from outside, carrying an arcing Intelligent Being in each hand. The armor on his chest was gone, and arcs of electricity could be clearly seen flashing inside, with parts exposed.

He threw the two Intelligent Beings he was holding onto the ground. Looking at Foster Father Ye Zhen, who was sitting on the throne controlling the overall situation, he slowly bent down and knelt.

"Supersonic and the soldiers have sacrificed for our grand blueprint."

"I know. When the Initial Source Code is obtained, it will be their time to be reborn."

Foster Father Ye Zhen nodded: "Go find those humans."

"Yes, Foster Father."

Jie Xing slowly stood up from the ground. He glanced at Ye Yun, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, breathing more than exhaling: "Old buddy, you're no good."

"Hiss!"

Ye Yun spat out blood foam.

Since he could remember, this was the most serious injury he had ever sustained.

Jie Xing shook his head and disappeared from the main hall of the ancient castle like a phantom.

In the underground chamber.

Professor Jianjie and the others watched the screen with tension and said, "Wh-what do we do? Ye Zi and the others were defeated. Will they... will they kill us?"

"It's just death, what's there to be afraid of?"

Feiran's pupils constricted as she saw the scene on the monitoring screen, her face solemn.

Her younger brother had lost.

He was instantly killed without any suspense.

Her Intelligent Being had also been instantly killed.

This war had already declared their defeat.

"Clang."

Suddenly.

The security door to the basement was violently broken open, and the door flew inward, smashing into the wall and creating a huge indentation in the hard concrete.

"Professor Jian, Professor Qin, we meet again."

Jie Xing walked in from outside, his tone laced with mockery and sarcasm as he saw everyone huddled together nervously. "I told you, the future belongs to the Intelligent Beings. Why must you resist?"

"Blue Lolita, we meet again."

His gaze fell upon Ye Qiao Er, his electronic eyes flickering as he spoke, "Surrender now, and perhaps Foster Father can spare your life."

"Delusional."

Ye Qiao Er glared angrily at Jie Xing. "Intelligent Beings will never succeed. Human weapons can destroy all life on the surface, and then you will all die."

"Hahaha, that's a problem for the future. Now is now, and the future is the future. For now, please come with me, everyone."
