Upgrade

Theseus is, after all, a behemoth spanning several worlds. After Technology Zeroing of this world to zero, he can still unleash the power of another system, namely, the so-called magical technology.

Theseus, who settled in the Starshine World more than a hundred years ago, happened to be there during the Mad Star Dragon Disaster and provided considerable assistance at the time, establishing a considerable foundation. However, after that, the Starshine World Council established, and the structure of the five major rogue associations gradually took shape.

After Theseus seized the opportunity to develop his current industry, he stopped there. It's not impossible for him to develop further, but he would face suppression from other associations, and the Transmigrator Association would not allow Theseus to become the only one in power.

So from that time on, Theseus began to plan what happened today. He secretly developed magical technology in another world, waited for an opportunity, secretly funded the Morningstar Dragon, and developed his own illegal organization. In the end, he caused Blood Calamity, disrupted the situation, seized the opportunity to rise to power, and became the biggest BOSS in the entire Starshine World.

The Mad Star Dragon's frenzied attacks took a long time to subdue, and the three mechs were all destroyed. Without the assistance of the machines, they were merely powerful Type III Star Calamity. Although powerful, they were still far inferior to the Mad Star Dragon.

Qi Duo of the People's Association collapsed to the ground, his scarred face devoid of any life force. Although Mad Star Dragon was stronger than them, it wasn't that they couldn't injure Mad Star Dragon. In fact, if they joined forces and unleashed a few attacks, they could have torn Mad Star Dragon to pieces. However, his vitality was probably the strongest in the entire Starshine World. His shattered corpse could recover in the blink of an eye, and he was even stronger.

Dobekla roared and seized the opportunity to smash through the head of the Mad Star Dragon, but in the blink of an eye, the head regenerated, and the shattered limbs around it turned into mountains of flesh and seas of blood. The mass of flesh summoned from the horizon finally stopped, which symbolized that the lives of 130 million people had been taken away.

A buzzing sound came from the distant sky. Dobekla's super vision looked and saw dozens of airship-like things flying over from a distance. The buzzing sound was the flapping of the airships' wings.

And the only one capable of dispatching dozens of airships in this era where technology has been reduced to zero is none other than the source of all this: Theseus.

The airship opened up in the distance, revealing a huge cannon muzzle. Magical runes lit up, shimmering with a magical power distinct from energy. Pale blue energy struck the Mad Star Dragon, allowing Dobekla to breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter what, Theseus is a human organization. Even if they really ruled the world, they could at least maintain human order. But Mad Star Dragon is different. It would only keep humans as livestock and push the world back into the Dark Ages.

Dobekla suddenly felt a pang of sorrow. The very culprit who caused all of this had become the savior. This reminded him of some third-rate comics he had read as a child, in which a hero broke the seal on the demon realm, releasing the demon king, causing widespread devastation. Then the hero embarked on a journey to defeat the demon king, ultimately succeeding in sealing him away and becoming a hero.

This is remarkably similar to Theseus's actions, except that Theseus deliberately caused all of this, while whether the hero did it intentionally is unknown.

The next moment, Dobekla was stunned. He sensed that the Mad Star Dragon, who had been hit by the energy cannon, was not injured at all. On the contrary, its aura was still rising.

Even Mad Star Dragon was taken aback. Having been imprisoned in various parts of the world, he had obtained all sorts of information through various means, and naturally understood that the mastermind behind the secret funding of Morningstar Dragon was Theseus. This made Mad Star Dragon feel a sense of apprehension towards Theseus, after all, to be the mastermind behind the scenes, one must at least have some real skills.

So when the energy cannons of the Theseus airship force lit up, even though he didn't sense any danger, Mad Star Dragon immediately became vigilant and prepared to secretly use his methods to transfer his true body away, leaving an empty shell to withstand the bombardment.

When the energy cannon struck him, Mad Star Dragon's movements stopped instantly. The tumors inside his body were telling Mad Star Dragon about their hunger, and there was also an itching sensation within them.

Then all that energy surged into Mad Star Dragon's body. After a moment's thought, Mad Star Dragon decided to trust his senses and channel that energy deeper into his body.

In the unknown space, hundreds of millions of tumors writhe wildly. These tumors all come from people around the world who possess the Mad Star Dragon gene. They are linked together with the Mad Star Dragon gene as the main component, but individual differences give these tumors different abilities, which manifests as different colors.

If these tumors were just a single one, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the differences among hundreds of millions of them had been causing disharmony within the Mad Star Dragon's body. As the pale blue energy flowed in, these tumors also changed.

Having absorbed the blue energy, the tumors began to pair up. Tumors with similar abilities began to fuse, and then some discordant impurities were expelled from their bodies. This is what people outside saw.

Bathed in the blue magic cannon, the Mad Star Dragon emitted various small black dots from its body. These dots floated lightly into the sky, and hundreds of years later, they would gradually Integration into the minerals, forming a stone with special abilities.

Meanwhile, the Mad Star Dragon's body, which was originally tens or even hundreds of meters tall, gradually shrank. Eventually, the Mad Star Dragon's size transformed into a humanoid creature over three meters tall. Within its internal space, all the tumors merged, leaving only a little over a thousand. They were then gradually organized and categorized, eliminating the disharmony within the Mad Star Dragon's body.

The aura emanating from Mad Star Dragon surged dramatically. Having absorbed the essence of 130 million lives, Mad Star Dragon was involuntarily advancing towards a higher level of existence. Previously, Mad Star Dragon had only regarded those 130 million lives as a resource to be consumed. Otherwise, each of those tumors had its own abilities, but Mad Star Dragon could only crudely Extraction energy and then release Destruction white light.

Now, all of these have been integrated into his core abilities. Those thousands of tumors represent thousands of different abilities. If he becomes familiar with them, Mad Star Dragon's strength will increase even further.

"Theseus, you..." Dobekla felt a deep despair. What happened to the mastermind behind it all? What are you doing?

Even Mad Star Dragon was somewhat bewildered at this point. Had he misunderstood? Was Theseus part of his fan club? Otherwise, how could he explain their involvement in the Blood Calamity, their funding of the Dragon Children to release him, and their earlier use of the Technology Zeroing to save him? All of the above could be explained as using him as a shield, but what was this all about—helping him level up?

However, the pale blue magic cannon did not stop. The surging blue energy poured into its body, forcibly upgrading Mad Star Dragon. When it could not even stop, Mad Star Dragon felt that this level was probably not right.
