Chapter 146: 120. Cage Deathmatch (Part 3)

I studied science and offered a loyal homage to rationality.

The massive bio-skeletal structure took shape.

I worshipped science, sculpting a throne of authority with blood.

A sea of blood intertwined, forging muscles upon my body.

I was superstitious about science, arrogantly opening the gates to destruction.

The nerve synapses were electrified, cells throughout my body wildly proliferated, draining every inch of nutrients from the space around me.

The chitinous exoskeleton absorbed ceramics and steel, covering itself with a heavy armor.

A dense and complex colony of biochemical bacteria quickly took form, its black hole-like eyes, as large as door panels, arranged horizontally.

That gigantic framework was instantly covered with muscles and composite armor, resembling a demon king from the netherworld, radiating an aura in stark contrast to technology... filled with a primitive, barbaric, and brutal biological texture.

"Quite adorable, isn’t it? The most perfect aircraft created by humans cannot match the agility of a hummingbird, and the pinnacle of technology only needs to present itself in the most straightforward and primitive form."

The Professor’s voice echoed through the hall, yet her true body was nowhere to be seen, but by now no electronic device could operate normally. Her voice being heard could only mean one thing.

"You have... fused yourself with this beast?"

Li Aozi’s question was immediately met with a response:

"Let me correct you: not a beast."

The Professor said cheerfully, her voice expanding swiftly throughout the hall via the colossus.

She only denied the second half, implicitly responding to the first.

"Professor Mingji, do you realize what you have done?"

Du Zexin said sternly:

"You’ve developed biochemical weapons, which is a serious violation of international treaties. Do you intend to drag our nation into the abyss of passive international judgment? Spending taxpayers’ money on trampling on humanitarianism and harming children, you are committing a crime!"

"A crime?"

She laughed:

"International treaties are nothing but a piece of paper. What use are laws compared to knowledge and progress?"

The Professor said, bewildered:

"On the one hand, humanity does not strive for advancement, while on the other hand, they condemn those who progress too quickly as ’monsters,’ ’demons,’ and burn them at the stake with fire."

"It’s humans who despise knowledge the most, yet also humans who rely on knowledge and scientific progress."

"Laws, emotions, morals, order, limits, ethics—it’s these very things that are the shackles on your evolution."

"But even so, I’m still very kind."

"I possess knowledge and power that are above mere mortals, yet I still care for humanity, not completely destroying you—is that not kind enough? I even consider myself a Holy Mother."

Du Zexin gave Li Aozi a signal, secretly releasing a set of remaining micro-drones—the pulse earlier had destroyed so many machines, and these were all he had left.

’Buy some time, I’ll go find her real body.’

Li Aozi understood and nodded. Then Du Zexin turned and shouted:

"Your mother’s stinking cunt, what international joke is this!?"

"Unrestrained progress, are you mastering knowledge? More like being a slave to technology!"

"Chasing everything, losing your own form and consciousness, do you deserve to be a free will?"

"You’re nothing more than a macroscopic single-celled organism driven by proteins and amino acids."

"What are humans? Humans are beings with aspirations higher than mere consumption and reproduction—art, philosophy, revolutions in thought."

"Only the weak believe that power and progress are everything, because their shallow and backward thinking prevents them from reaching such heights!"

The surge of black and red tides, countless tentacles connected to the walls and space around, the fearsome giant god slowly raised its head as a series of egg-like objects quickly formed on its body.

Immediately after, Li Aozi’s pupils contracted—these egg-like objects began to bulge outward, revealing structures of human faces.

Looking around... dozens, hundreds—at least a thousand human facial contours, densely packed, each screaming in silent roars and wails.

"So what?"

"Capitalists, warlords, bureaucrats, the privileged class, noble family clans, scholarly factions—the ones who exploit humanity the most on this world, aren’t they humans too? Can you kill them all?"

"And these people, they stand behind me, their nourishment catalyzing my ascension. For the sake of holding eternal power and to pass down their genetic information endlessly, these strong figures of human society have ultimately walked the path you call ’weak’."

The drones flew rapidly, weaving between the tentacles and the colossus’s frame, scanning and searching everywhere.

"Who do you think I am? I was raised by Frost Plated People, I know better than you how decayed and desolate your motherland is."

"I understand what you want to do, buying time to locate my real body, to be able to kill me in one fell swoop."

"It doesn’t matter, the path of evolution is already irreversible."

The Professor said with ease:

"Thanks to those foolish capitalists and radical feminists, I have opened the gate to the Temple of the creator."

In front of the monster of flesh, the tentacles slowly dragged out two humanoid cocoons, inside which lay the bodies of the missing Head Nurse Nodley and Assistant Doctor Anna.

"Thank you for your sacrifice to science."

"Nodley, your Martial Way could not progress due to a heart full of mercy."

"Anna, your intelligence could not advance due to unlimited greed."

"But that’s okay, my dears."

The Professor said affectionately:

"Next, you both will step into immortality."

The next moment, their bodies rapidly withered away, the tentacles held the blood cocoons high, carrying them swiftly into its body. The ground shook violently, the sea of blood churned, and the deformed creatures on the ground and in the air fell into a frenzy, their primitive genes triggering instinctive panic at the cataclysm.

Thump—thump-thump—thump-thump—thump-thump—

It wasn’t the earth that was trembling.

It was the heart, the deafening sound of the heart that pressed blood into every inch of the Giant God’s body, panels the size of doors lit up with frightening lights. Eyes like those of an insect swiftly focused, the body temperature rose rapidly, evaporation of the red-black Ersha liquid on the ground formed dense black vapor.

Its form suddenly trembled, as if a soul had been injected into it.

The Professor’s voice suddenly became high and clear, mixed with the Martial Artist’s battle roar and the Merchant’s steady low chant:

"Bayo Kong—Fusion!"

Crack crack crack crack crack crack crack!

The neural tentacles connected to the walls snapped off, the exoskeleton’s armor plates opened upwards for heat dissipation, and Bayo Kong spread its arms as vast as a bus, the human faces all over its body immediately showing a distorted expression.

Li Aozi’s figure jerked, he clearly felt a strong resonance within his genes.

Arcane Energy... At this moment, hundreds of Arcane Energies were wildly unleashed!

[Anti-Gravity Field], [Electromagnetic Radiation], [Disease Body], [Heat Transfer], [Rampant Growth], [Fluid Control], [Mirror Refraction], [Super Speed], [Aura of Majesty], [Rhythm Pulse], [Super Sensory Nerve], [Phase Shift], [Soul Field], [Sulfur Smoke], [Death Exemption], [Life Absorption], [Gargoyle Body], [Inscription Saint Swordmaster - Asura], [Diamond Transformation], [Steel Body], [Petrified Skin], [High-energy Radiation]—

"Genes, prostrate before the Divine Body of the Bio-Giant!"

Bayo Kong stood up, and in the next moment, its whole body bathed in magnificent golden light, like an enraged Diamond Transformation, majestic and sacred.

[Burst of Qi]

Qi Energy from the [Martial Artist] merged into Bayo Kong’s body, amplified by the huge physique, erupted instantly into a fierce tide of Qi energy, pressing down on Li Aozi and Du Zexin on the spot with this formidable aura, making every movement hindered by the Arcane Energy and exceedingly difficult.

"So, those infected have all turned into this thing!"

Pure Aura of Majesty pressure, absolute Hierarchy suppression.

—Gamma Level.

The innate fear of the human body made Du Zexin almost retreat, several times wanting to run away; the suppression of the hierarchy is insurmountable.

’Get away quickly!’

The weak murmuring echoed in Li Aozi’s ears.

It was Xeno—she was warning him with the last of her strength.

After a moment of struggle, Du Zexin bit his teeth, overcame the physiological fear, activated the Anti-gravity System, flew up, and shouted at Li Aozi:

"Self-destruction doesn’t necessarily kill it, I’ll hold it off, you go and detonate the nuclear reactor below."

"No, you definitely can’t kill it!"

Li Aozi gave himself another injection of hormone, tensing the muscles in his body:

"Its class comes from the Ersha Infected Individuals stacked up inside it, Azure Star doesn’t have a true Gamma Rank individual. "

"What you mean is—"

"Dismantle it!"

Li Aozi drew his long sword, a crack split across his face:

"It’s nothing but a Bio-beast artificially cobbled together with other people’s Arcane Energy, watch me chop it to pieces with my sword!"

"Professor, you’re nothing but a single-minded obsession on a host of Ersha, bewildered by a mere phenomenon, you’ve become a slave to Arcane Energy."

Bang!

"Silence, mortals!"

Bayo Kong teleported in front of him, his towering figure of dozens of meters tall punched with a velocity surpassing several times the speed of sound, smashing into the floor. At the same time, the armor on the back of his hand cracked open, ejecting countless neural tentacles that bombarded the ground.

Boom, boom, boom—

[Iterative Movement]

Li Aozi’s body teleported in front of Bayo Kong, his facial muscles split open and flipped, covering his face with the inner layer of the crimson membrane, as red and black crystals ingeniously concealed the gaps. At the same time, red-black crystal spikes grew from his arms, and his neck veins were injected with black liquid, swelling and hardening.

"Ersha is nothing more than a slave to me, hardly worth mentioning, yet you treasure it like a jewel," he said.

Li Aozi crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood with his legs apart, saying mockingly, "Watch closely, this is the true Gene Dominance!"

[Overseer Form Activated]

[DOMINATE EVERYTHING]

The red and black in his eyes quickly spread across his entire face, and his pupils changed colors continuously, finally stabilizing in a golden hue. Gravity invisibly formed a barrier that protected his surroundings.

[Dominant - Gravitational Field]

A crack opened in the palm of his left hand, and a red neural tentacle as thick as a pencil sprang out.

[Dominant - Life Rainbow Tube]

Li Aozi’s pale skin suddenly lost its elasticity, his ribcage burst through the skin, covered with calcified armor that gleamed prism-like, shining outward with the splendor of daylight.

[Dominant - Daylight Prism]

His muscles proliferated rapidly, the hidden Power Pod becoming as conspicuous as a mantis’s scythe, with four pods ejecting hot smoke outward, as conspicuous as the thrusters of a rocket.

[Dominant - Proliferation Enhancement]

His legs were covered in a layer of misty black molecular smoke, the muscles in his legs became blurry, at times solid, at times void.

[Dominant - Iterative Path]

The red-black crystal spikes on Li Aozi’s body became flexible, accumulating explosive energy along with his breathing.

[Dominant - Explosive Spikes]

The hand that wielded the sword transformed into a sharp and ferocious claw, its nails retracting inward, reshaping to accommodate the handle of the sword.

Hiss—

The red-black crystal extended along the blade of the Simple Slash, forming a specialized, elongated crystal tachi two meters long.

[Dominant - Blade of the Battle Ghost]

"Commit this pain to memory," said Li Aozi, as his body continually teleported, gaining the high ground above the head of the insufferably arrogant Bayo Kong, radiant with golden light, and he swung down the blade!
