Chapter 35: Demon God AI

’The Genetic Pattern! It’s emerging. This flame. Is it carving the image of a phoenix?’

Alan thought to himself as he tried looking inside his body with the Mental Energy, but he wasn’t successful in getting a clear picture of it.

Snap!

Suddenly, a picture appeared in front of him.

It showed a man with an orange flame flickering on his palm and several stars behind him.

’Stunning!’

’How beautiful? Is it truly a pattern, not a picture?’

The beauty of the image was so clear and high that Alan almost questioned whether it was a picture or his Genetic Pattern.

Normally, patterns of a flame would be the flames.

In case of those animal or human patterns, at best, they would be simply lines, but no texture or color.

But his Genetic Pattern was different.

It not only had a man with almost every single part drawn perfectly, but also little stars and an orange flame on his hand.

[Sir, the Phoenix Fire seems to have its own consciousness. It doesn’t resist your influence over it, but it does have a mind of its own.]

Suddenly, Alan opened his eyes.

Not only because his Genetic Lock was completely opened, but also because of what his AI said.

He looked straight at the door and spoke.

"Did you just get that? I have a talking phoenix in my body. Let’s just not make it a Multiversal Boss, okay?"

[Sir, it should not be able to talk at this moment. Although your Phoenix Power has a lot of potential, its full abilities are restricted because of your rank.]

[But Congratulations on your first evolution. You now stand at First Rank of Genetic Transformation Stage.]

[Sir, I have a suggestion. With your current state, you should be able to reach second rank quite easily.]

Hearing that, Alan instantly closed his eyes and said.

’Then, what am I waiting for? Let’s reach the second rank.’

At this moment, Mia paused her foot and looked extremely annoyed.

After her young lord opened his eyes for two time, she tried running towards him and giving him a hug of congratulations, but she couldn’t.

Every time she tried, he would close his eyes before she could reach him.

But she was no longer feeling anxious and sad.

Because her Young Lord had not only changed his body but also unlocked his Genes.

And, quite easily, if she might add.

The total time he took to produce life force and evolve his cells, and carve his Genetic Pattern was less than three hours.

Normally, it would take over a day or two, but Alan succeeded in such a short time.

This was mainly because of his strong physique.

’Demon God, are you absolutely sure that I am ready for the Second Rank?’

Just before he actually started the process, Alan asked.

He wasn’t afraid of pain, but he felt like he wasn’t ready. After all, he just unlocked the genetic lock that he had been stuck on for his entire life.

Although he did it so easily, it was only due to the evolution of his body and the bloodline.

[Yes, sir! Your body has evolved. I have recorded the current Genetic Levels and Body Ranks of this world.]

[According to my records, your body has evolved into Third Rank. In this rank, your body without evolution can reach the strength of a thousand kilograms.]

[Your blood veins, blood marrow, muscles, bones, skin, and even inner organs have improved twice. And after reaching the first Rank, it only became stronger.]

’Is that so? Then, I don’t have to worry about losing blood and causing injuries to my veins and cells.’

’If I remember correctly, the second stage requires twice as much mana and has to go through a similar process to produce life force.’

’Even the evolution process is the same, except it no longer requires me to carve a Genetic Pattern; instead, I need to gather a large amount of cosmic energy within the Genetic Pattern.’

’Unlike life force, Cosmic Energy required a completely different pathway. Fortunately, humans are born with such. But of course, they are completely blocked.’

’So, the first step is to unlock them. The second rank requires me to unlock the pathway connecting to the chest and the arms.’

’In other words, there are three blockades that I need to open with the Cosmic Energy. Let’s do it!’

[Sir, would you like me to help you with this?]

The voice of his AI stunned him.

’What? You can do this?’

[Yes, Sir! I exist within your soul. I can extend my connection to your body through Cosmic Energy.]

Alan was a bit scared for a moment.

If his AI could control his body, then wouldn’t it control him one day?

Then, he realized something.

Without his powers, he was nothing but trash. This system didn’t try to control him when he was trash, so why would it wait until he gained power?

[Yes, Sir! The system has chosen you, which means it will not do anything to harm you. At the same time, my existence can be deleted to stopped by a mere thought of yours.]

Hearing the reply from his AI, Alan hurriedly replied.

’No, no, I was just scared because of those movies from my previous world. You know, how they believe AI will one day conquer the world and enslave humanity.’

’Those thoughts corrupted my mind. Besides, without your help, I might be nothing. I got this system and I was able to absorb the blood of the Demon God.’

’Your name is also Demon God. I have a feeling that these things are connected, but so what? If it was really done by someone who could do all these, how can I do anything to oppose him?’

[Sir, I understand your problem.]

’Oh! What is it?’ Although Alan already had some doubts, he still asked.

[The sudden increase in strength inflated your Ego. And that gave you an imaginary feeling that you should be in control of everything.]

[Your feelings and mindset are still the same as those of yourself in your previous world. In your previous world, you are a superhuman now. So, obviously, you will feel inflated.]

[But I would like to remind you, sir. You are the lowest-ranking person in this world. Except for children, everyone else is above you in strength.]

[Even chicken can kill you.]

Hearing that, Alan almost spat out blood.

’Can you not be so honest?’

[Sir, this is the only way to control your inflated ego.]

’Well, you’ve done a good job. Now, if you don’t mind, I need to start.’

Alan turned his mental energy towards the mana attracted to his body. After filling up his body with mana, he went through a similar process.

Only this time, he didn’t turn bright red and steaming.

His body was fully capable of holding the process without causing any trouble.

More importantly, he wanted to create as much life energy as possible.

Life energy was quite interesting. Because it was similar to hydrogen.

It was an element that could be used with other elements to create a completely new kind of power.

The Cosmic Energy was the result of such a reaction.

When the majority of life energy was consumed by the evolution process, the energy produced during the process of fusion would merge with the remaining life energy.

Then, it would be subjected to two different elements: Stamina and Mental Energy.

When these two are combined with that fused energy, it would create a new kind of energy known as Cosmic Energy.

Once a person had condensed cosmic energy, that person could use cosmic energy to do a lot of things.

Whether it was to gain superhuman strength, use Genetic Patterns, or even Gene Arts, they all required Cosmic Energy.

After Alan fused the life energy with the energy produced by fusion, he pushed it into his Genetic Patterns.

Genetic Patterns were similar to chromosomes, and they weren’t much different.

So, any addition of a genetic pattern to the DNA was the addition of chromosomes.

This also meant every single DNA strand had the same Genetic Pattern. That’s why he had to carefully fill the Genetic Pattern with the newly fused energy.

After the process was completed, he pulled his mental energy out of the Genetic Pattern and just focused his mind on absorbing mana.

Then, he would go through a similar process and produce more fused energy.

Next Day;

Alan had gathered enough cosmic energy within his Genetic Pattern. He started pulling out the cosmic energy into the Energy Pathway.

He realized just how he had to pull small particles of cosmic energy through small veins connected to the blood veins.

Then, after these pass through those small veins, he would pull them into the main vein that went to his chest and arms.

But when reaching the chest, Alan encountered the first blockade.

As he got a mental image of the blockade, his lips twitched.

’What the hell? It’s a wall of glass.’
