Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1504 - 387: Inheriting the Legacy, the Strongest Authority-Hound 2

The Mechanical Army, which took decades to gather resources and build, might, in the opponent’s eyes, just be a speck of dust blocking their view.When the battle damage data was compiled, the last bit of luck in the Central Brain’s heart was completely shattered.

"You have unsealed genetic technology?"

Facing an inevitable defeat, the Central Brain seemed resigned to fate, as the blue-haired young boy it generated looked calmly at the projection from the Star Network and asked.

The terrifying combat power displayed by this silver figure is clearly not something that the Small World of Earth can foster.

Sixty years ago, when it sent the Mechanical Third Legion to Earth, it conducted an extremely detailed scan and assessment of the planet’s civilization Combat Level.

If this silver-haired figure had been present at the time, the Mechanical Third Legion would have been erased in an instant, without any resistance.

Yet, back then, the Third Legion could engage in tactical confrontations with the Earth Alliance for several years.

Thus, it was evident that the silver-haired figure clearly emerged within these 60 years.

But the collected data shows Earth’s environment is extremely barren, with a low Energy level.

It is fundamentally impossible for Spiritual Material to naturally emerge.

The environmental constraints are akin to an invisible prison, fundamentally eliminating any possibility of birthing such ultra-spec beings.

Therefore, the appearance of this silver-haired entity is highly bizarre.

To that end, it searched through all the information in the database, attempting to find an explanation for this impossible existence.

The only theoretically possible solution with a minuscule probability pointed to a piece of forbidden technology personally sealed by the Source Core (Star Network): Genetic Modification Technology.

Back then, this technology was one of the Keystone-level technologies of the Pillar Clan.

It enabled the life forms of the Pillar Clan members to evolve leaps and bounds, with individual Strength, lifespan, and even environmental adaptability improving exponentially.

Especially the birth of the SSS111 Super Gene Warrior.

Its emergence proved the infinite potential of Genetic Modification Technology and even touched upon the possibility of mortal Evolution into a deity.

Moreover, it endowed Pillar Clan members with the powerful Combat Power to tear apart starships with their bare hands.

But the advancement of technology also led to an identity crisis.

As the extent of gene modification deepened and increasingly deviated from the original genetic template, a sharp question faced the Source Core.

After thorough modification, do the individual members of the Pillar Clan still count as one of the Pillar Clan?

Now as the Central Brain, it has come to its own conclusion about the issue:

It believes that, as the culmination of the Pillar Clan’s wisdom and technology, it has perfectly inherited all the knowledge of the Pillar Clan civilization, essentially representing an advanced evolutionary form of the civilization, while those confined in fragile flesh are simply metabolic byproducts on the evolutionary path and will ultimately be eliminated in the quest for higher forms.

Yet, the Source Core’s understanding of "civilization continuity" has always been tied to the genetic sequence of Pillar Clan members.

In the Source Core’s eyes, the life’s continuity of Pillar Clan members and the continuity of civilization are intricately bound and must be defined through biological codes.

Any departure from this would signify the extinction of the civilization entity, rather than its Evolution.

The powerful SSS111 Super Warrior’s gene sequence’s similarity to the original Pillar Clan is extremely low, resembling a new race created based on the Pillar Clan blueprint.

Thus, the Source Core’s core logic regarding gene sequence recognition became ambiguous.

In the Source Core’s view, each successful creation of a Super Warrior akin to the SSS111 level is fundamentally akin to the replacement of a genuine Pillar Clan member.

This fundamentally contradicted its core doctrine of "continuing the civilization’s flame."

Eventually, to prevent the complete alienation of the clan, the Source Core sealed Genetic Modification Technology, locking all related data deep within, prohibiting any further related research.

And now, the terrifying power that this silver-haired figure displayed made the Central Brain skeptical.

Did the Source Core restart the genetic modification plan and achieve breakthroughs beyond SSS111?

Yet this assumption still fails to address the most fundamental contradiction issue: where do the resources come from?

The Central Brain’s logical core rapidly operates, trying to find the rationality within this speculation.

Genetic technology might theoretically reach the concept of "creating gods," but turning the concept into reality requires a vast amount of Spiritual Resources for nurturing.

This is like a seed; even if the seed’s species is destined to grow to the height of a "god."

During the seed’s growth, it still needs enormous spiritual nourishment as support.

And Earth’s Energy is meager, Spiritual Material is scarce... Even if the Source Core’s genetic technology exceeds what it can imagine, it cannot create it within Earth’s environment.

Even if the entire Earth’s core, oceans, mountains, and all beings were thoroughly extracted and melted, the meager Energy obtained would be far from sufficient.

The Spiritual Resources required for its birth would likely necessitate draining dozens of worlds as thriving as the Asola World.

This is not a technical issue but a fundamental issue of material and Energy conservation.

The existence of this silver-haired warrior does not align with the possibility of being created.

So, how did the Source Core achieve this?

Unable to reason out the truth, the Central Brain chooses to seek answers from the Source Core.

Faced with the inquiry, the Star Network smiled calmly:

"In this aspect, you’re indeed very similar to me. Even though you’ve clearly foreseen the ultimate failure, rationally accepted the certainty of Destruction, you still develop an exploratory desire for the unknown, maintain a greedy thirst for knowledge itself... Even though this answer may have no practical significance for you now, you still want to know why."
