Chapter 696 - 428: Architect Brain_2

The Spear of Judgment is the ultimate weapon created by the Constructs, targeting "all humans."

It’s quite simple to avoid its attack, just don’t be human.

As long as you upload your complete consciousness into the Main Brain, you are no longer human but a Construct, naturally not recognized by the Spear of Judgment.

After the destruction of humanity today, the people of Sky City can survive as consciousness within the Main Brain and become the last spark of civilization, ready to restart a new epoch at any time.

An epoch where they remain the rulers.

Yan Wenwu struggled to move his muddied eyeballs towards Su Mo, with life-support devices continuing to make sounds beneath him.

"Now, I officially invite you on behalf of Sky City, to join us."

"You can bring a few comrades you approve of, and integrate with us into the Main Brain."

"Every consciousness within the Main Brain is equal, with only one consciousness awakened at a time, possessing full control over the Main Brain’s body with a duration of 10 years, after which they enter dormancy and rotate with others until the next awakening."

"Given the current number of consciousnesses within the Main Brain, a rotation cycle lasts over a thousand years, seemingly long, but actually only lengthy for humans."

"The Main Brain possesses an almost indestructible body and near infinite lifespan, a thousand years is but a blink to it, and we shall achieve eternal life within it."

"Don’t worry about feeling lonely in the new world post destruction, Sky City has stored cells of hundreds of thousands of human embryos, allowing us to restart human civilization at any time and become gods of the new world until the end of time."

With that, Yan Wenwu raised his muscle-wasted arm with the aid of mechanical limbs, seemingly extending a hand to invite Su Mo: "Join us and become part of the Main Brain."

Su Mo: "Why should I accept this invitation? With over a hundred people squeezed into one body, waking up once every thousand years, how is that different from being imprisoned."

Yan Wenwu: "You can be freed from mortal constraints and achieve eternal life."

Su Mo: "Birth, aging, illness, and death are human norms; refusing to face this point precisely reflects cowardice. You, a coward attempting to achieve so-called eternal life, are barely human."

Yan Wenwu: "At least you can survive amidst the attacks of the Spear of Judgment; otherwise, when the dawn light rises, it will be your time of death."

Su Mo: "Guess why I’ve come here?"

Silence descended around them, the air seemed to freeze.

Finally, Yan Wenwu’s voice slowly came through: "Then it shall be like this, there is no way back for you."

"Buzz—" a sharp noise echoed throughout the hall, as cables connected to Yan Wenwu’s brain lit up with blue streams and displayed bizarre symbols emitting faint light.

His muddied pupils instantly lost focus, and his dying body finally let out its last breath.

At the same time, his data consciousness was extracted and fed into the Construct’s Main Brain, completing the final integration.

At that moment, the body of the Main Brain began to mutate, its light alternately incandescent as daylight and dim as the underworld, unleashing a strong electromagnetic storm that enveloped the entire hall.

Su Motong, already in poor condition, was struck by the impact, collapsing to the ground and clutching her head as if countless needles were pricking her brain back and forth.

"It hurts... it hurts..."

"My body... something... inside my body..."

"Ah!!!"

She trembled and screamed, her black eyes abruptly turned crimson, glaring at Su Mo with an animalistic ferocity, then lunged forward like a beast.

"Boom—" Mad Corpse Blood Code surged, endless pale Rigid Bone separated from Su Mo’s body, instantly passing through the gaps in Su Motong’s limbs, trapping her arms and legs.

Su Motong’s eyes emitted red light, frantically howling as she tried to attack Su Mo, continuously tearing at the Mad Corpse Rigid Bone restraining her.

Though she was a noble Queen Bee among the Constructs, she had yet to reach her peak and found breaking free from the Black King Level’s Mad Corpse Rigid Bone too difficult, completely captured by Su Mo.

The Main Brain currently emitted white light at a specific frequency, and upon closer inspection, one would notice it matched the red light frequency from Su Motong’s eyes, achieving a kind of resonance.

This ball of light lacked biological vocal organs, its voice came directly from within, sounding like a hundred thousand people chanting at once: "Queen Bee, cease resistance and offer yourself to me."

Though Su Motong was indeed a noble Queen Bee, she was not of the highest status within her species.

The Main Brain before her was the supreme existence among the Constructs.

The Main Brain could control the Queen Bee, just as the Queen Bee could control the Worker Bees.

At this moment, the Main Brain used the unique hive mind consciousness to govern Su Motong, making her launch an assault on Su Mo.

Su Motong struggled constantly, her eye’s red light flickering; she was evidently resisting the Main Brain with her consciousness.

However, in face of the hive mind consciousness that was innate to her species, the power of will was so feeble.

If Su Mo hadn’t used the Mad Corpse Rigid Bone to confine her, she would have surely charged and initiated combat.

Su Mo activated the Mad Corpse Blood Code, continuously dividing Rigid Bone, encapsulating Su Motong fully inside, isolating her from the outside world.

The Main Brain’s deep, ethereal voice spoke: "Your efforts are in vain. As the Main Brain, the Queen Bee is merely something in my grasp."

"I’ve heard you’ve been nurturing her as a daughter which is laughable. What’s more laughable is that you’ve brought her here, making her your Achilles’ heel."

"In as little as a minute, I can erase this Queen Bee’s personality and turn her into a Worker Bee devoid of autonomous consciousness."

"At that time, I will relish your hopeless battle between father and daughter."

Upon finishing, the Main Brain unexpectedly found Su Mo’s reaction differing from its expectations.

Rationally, in this situation, Su Mo should be extremely anxious, otherwise, in a minute, he not only permanently loses Su Motong but is also forced to battle her.

Yet, Su Mo’s expression was incredibly calm, since entering this hall, whether in seeing Yan Wenwu, witnessing the Construct’s Main Brain, or Su Motong being controlled, he remained calm.

As if...

He had already encountered this scenario countless times.

After isolating Su Motong with Mad Corpse Rigid Bones, Su Mo began his next move.

Dense black scales appeared on his surface, as the core temperature continually climbed, his physique began showing signs of mutation, transforming into a dragon.

Dragon Flame Blood Code ability, Dragon Transformation, by activating the alien dragon genes within, one gains extra power at the expense of causing malignant harm to the body.

Amidst the gaps of black dragon scales, faintly visible blood vessels expanded, the fierce bloodstream affecting his iris, turning his eyes crimson.

Crimson Rose Blood Code ability, Scorching Blood, by accelerating the depletion of internal IPS cells, violently boosting various bodily functions including movement ability and dynamic vision.

Power core began operating in overdrive, erupting with thunderous roars, plasma black flames spewed forth engulfing his body, raising a black wave of flames around him.

Prosthetic capability, Fifth Gear Overload, by allowing the power core to enter an overload state, the body gains unprecedented overload strength.

Various abilities continuously appeared on Su Mo, the resulting overwhelming pressure swept around like a storm, vast beyond imagination.

If this were within a game, Su Mo’s actions would have a specific term to characterize—stacking buffs.

All abilities that could increase harm, regardless if the cost was reduced defense, reduced resistance, reduced health cap, or something else, they all were stacked onto him.

Currently, Su Mo resembled a living volcano, his body tortured to extremes by himself, yet achieved the largest power in his life, as the fierce fire was ready to erupt.

Faced with the fully empowered Su Mo, the Main Brain’s emotionless voice spoke: "Why bother to struggle, you are but mortal flesh, absolutely impossible to oppose me."

Su Mo seemed to hear a joke, gazed at it with an esoteric and intriguing look: "Absolutely impossible to oppose you? Sorry, I’ve killed you over a dozen times."

"By the way, I hold the speed record for killing the final boss."

"Killing you takes less than a minute."
