Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 670 - 196: Bionic Divinity

Black Rose faced the words of ’Artificial Will’ without refuting, but nodded instead.

"You’re right. At first, I thought that to fully acquire ’Epimetheus’ abilities, I needed to control all bionic leaders, acquire all bionic ancestral bodies, and complete 100% bionic transformation.

But after absorbing most of the ancestral bodies, I realized that at least 50% of the ancestral bodies were developed with the advancement of bionic technology. Level 8 Chip—Bionic Human Crystal Chip, Level 9 Prosthetic Body—Porcelain White Gloves, Level 10 Artificial Neural System—Shell Commander...

According to each company’s research progress, it will take at least another ten years to complete the subsequent development of bionic technology to allow me to fully gain the power of ’Epimetheus.’

So I have no conflict with the bionics. Continuously expanding the bionic race and evolving the bionic corporations greatly benefits me."

The three ’Sister Roses’ exchanged glances and collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s best you think this way. We aren’t inherently your enemies, but the peculiar nature of the bionic race makes it destined not to be controlled by just one model of bionic. This would cut off society’s creative power," ’Will’ said.

"Words mean nothing. Relinquish the power of the CEO now, and then we will believe you," ’Shell’ added and then supplemented, "However, even if you give up the CEO position, you will still be an honorary board member of our ’Pure White Shell,’ and we will share with you the most advanced bionic technologies."

"Bionics shouldn’t kill each other, especially before the major opportunity of the ’Electronic Brain Plan.’ The fate of bionics is destined to soar again by leveraging the fusion of virtual and reality."

’Grid’s’ tone was ethereal, as if not speaking to a person.

Black Rose glanced around and then looked at Gao Gong, smiling gently:

"I can relinquish power, but before giving up the CEO’s power, I want to exercise the power of an executive one last time. I hope you three can bestow a ’Divine Descent’ upon him."

’Divine Descent’?

It was indeed the first time Gao Gong had heard of such a term, perhaps it meant some kind of benefit?

As soon as these words were spoken, the three ’Sister Roses’ faces changed, ’Shell’ blurted out:

"Nonsense! ’Divine Descent’ is our greatest secret, never performed on outsiders, especially on a primordial person!"

"I am also half a primordial person," Black Rose calmly stated.

"You’re different, you inherit our race’s most ancient authority," ’Grid’ said, with electronic signals on her body undulating rhythmically, like some chemical reaction.

"Perhaps you could choose some other benefits, like some cutting-edge corporate technology, or even the top-tier bionic prosthetic bodies," ’Will’ suggested.

"If I just wanted those things, why wouldn’t I get them myself," Black Rose retorted, "All the accounts of the three groups are in my hands, what could I not obtain?"

"Do you think I’m short of a bit of pocket money?"

Rich lady! Hungry! Food!

The three ’Corporate Wills’ saw Black Rose’s firm attitude and exchanged glances momentarily.

Finally, ’Will’ spoke, her empty eyes seemingly able to see through people’s hearts.

"We need assurance."

"What kind of assurance?" Black Rose sneered: "Isn’t my flesh in reality already sealed by you? Isn’t that enough?"

"Moreover, you should see that this little guy is also the same type of existence as the ’Three Great Bionic Ancestors.’ Didn’t Prometheus tell you that the latest one is about to be born, both he and I don’t have time to waste here."

"And if you ruin our business, we really don’t mind dragging it out with you."

Gao Gong, as a man who frequently engaged with Rose Rich Lady, immediately understood the opponent’s intentions from her expression and cooperated seamlessly, quickly taunting:

"Prometheus and A are the ’ancestors’ you bionics talk about. What they are going to do, you probably know very well.

Now bargaining like this, do you not want to perform ’Divine Descent,’ or are you trying to buy time for your ancestors?"

"Stupid primordial monkey, it’s not your place to interject here!" ’Shell’ showed a disgusted expression.

Interject, do you think such a good thing falls to me?

You don’t understand the taste of the rich lady, Gao Gong couldn’t help rolling his eyes, too lazy to reply.

’Grid’ spoke:

"Prometheus is Prometheus; it’s not the ’twelve ancestors’ of those days. Similarly, Bionic A doesn’t have the right to decide the future of the bionic kind, and we do not support his revolution."

She glanced at Black Rose, with an unclear meaning.

"We only care about ourselves. We remain neutral about your matters."

’Will’ glanced at the two and chuckled:

"We believe that mutual trust is essential, so regarding ’Divine Descent,’ we agree, take him to the bionic Divine Hall, Ms. Rose, you know where it is."

The three ’Corporate Wills’ looked at each other and vanished in place.

Similarly, desert, ocean, bodies’ illusions also disappeared.

The two returned once more to the Purple String Space. The recent ’space coordinates’ seemed to be just an illusion.

Purple String Space

Gao Gong thought back, unsure, "Sister Rose, the place we just were, seemed to be inside a giant body?"

Black Rose nodded, saying:

"That is the most precious and mysterious Level 3 Civilization Architecture of the Bionic Group, called the ’Body of No Concern.’ It can simulate all parameter changes of the human body system. Nearly all new models of bionics must be sent into it for final testing.

It is precisely because of it that bionics can be regarded as a form of life, rather than some big toy that can experience downtime, data crashes, or emotional breakdowns.

And my first shell was sealed within it."

Gao Gong understood.

The abilities of the ’Hormone Queen’ were terrifying; as long as Sister Rose wanted, any bionic shell could become her body. Much like her ability, she is almost impossible to confine. Only this special type of Level 3 Civilization Architecture could leave Sister Rose at a loss.

He thought for a moment, then asked another question.

"Sister Rose, what is ’Divine Descent’?"

"Unlike humans, all model bionic human parameters are stored in backend servers. The more of a particular bionic model there are, the more complex its ’human parameters’ become, approaching a state of 100% bionics under big data’s artificial calculations. This parameter state is called ’Perfect Parameters.’

This ’Perfect Parameters’ is the corporate’s most confidential secret, only in the hands of ’Corporate Will.’ Even I can’t get it."

Black Rose calmly stated:

"And by infusing these ’Perfect Parameters’ into a bionic shell, subtly adjusting the body, it significantly stimulates a bionic’s potential.

Bionics who achieve great accomplishments in various fields obtain Divine Descent.

This is also one of the means used by bionic conglomerates to win over people’s hearts.

If you complete ’Divine Descent,’ then, even super bionic prostheses suitable only for bionic bloodlines can be implanted and used by you.

Most importantly, after completing ’Divine Descent,’ you have a certain probability of obtaining ’Bionic Divinity.’

"Divinity?"

...

Meanwhile, within the ’Body of No Concern,’ three enormous wills were also conversing.

’Let us bestow a Divine Descent upon a primordial monkey. Has that bitch figured something out?’

’Impossible. If she really guessed something, she wouldn’t have chosen a primordial monkey to obtain such benefits. Such shortsighted behavior, as expected from an inferior species.’

’Hmph, don’t think we don’t know. The huge funds she uses to annex our bloodlines were entirely borrowed from the Cloud Nobility. Entangled with those planetary parasites and vampires—she’ll end up a dried corpse sooner or later.’

’Those Cloud Nobility are infamous for their scale of deception. It’s only a matter of time before they backstab her.’

’That whore must have guessed something?’

’Let’s give that primordial monkey a Divine Descent. Do you think that means the end?’

’No one can sully the purity of our bloodline!’
