454: Super Mechanical Beast

Super Brain?

Using the power of the Super Brain to control Halin's beast core?

This was indeed a very good method, but it also carried enormous risks.

Unlike the powers that suddenly attacked the Super Brain, if the Super Brain were integrated into Halin's beast core, it would mean the Super Brain would constantly be influenced by the insane consciousness.

Halin was, after all, an Immortal-level powerhouse; even if he was already insane, his consciousness was extremely terrifying.

Not only would the Super Brain be unable to completely control the beast core, but it was also possible that it would be controlled in turn by the insane consciousness contained within, becoming an insane Super Brain.

Coupled with the connection between Lin Tianwei's consciousness and the Super Brain, doing so would instead Infect him, causing Lin Tianwei to suffer the consequences.

Could it be that he had no other way to use this beast core?

This feeling of possessing immense power but being unable to use it made Lin Tianwei feel somewhat frustrated.

His brain began to operate at high speed, Lin Tianwei's thoughts encompassed everything he possessed, and he finally found a slightly feasible method—Kai.

As a Mech Clan member, Kai's body structure and Core Code were completely different from a Cosmic Beast.

He didn't need to communicate with the beast core at all to utilize the power hidden within it.

He only needed to use this beast core as an energy source.

This was the special characteristic of the Mech Clan; as long as their body was strong enough and their energy was powerful enough, they could unleash extremely terrifying strength.

The only thing to worry about was Kai's loyalty.

Influenced by the Core Code, Kai, although possessing extremely high loyalty, was not a constant one hundred percent. He could easily mutate after acquiring immense power, and even ultimately betray.

Planning to make him his bodyguard, Lin Tianwei had to solve this immediate concern once and for all.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei directly took Kai out of Tiger Tooth Space.

He intended to modify this Mech Clan member, whom he hadn't used in a long time, to raise his loyalty.

With a thought, a massive Cosmic Beast immediately appeared on Lin Tianwei.

Since he had no command from Lin Tianwei, Kai remained in the state he was in during his last outing.

For the Mech Clan, time seemed to be completely meaningless.

When they didn't receive instructions, they would freeze their bodies and consciousness to pass the meaningless time.

Returning to the real universe once more, and seeing Lin Tianwei's not-so-large body again, Kai's Core Code instinctively trembled.

His intuition told him that his long-unseen master was very dangerous, dangerous enough to make his Core Code fear him instinctively.

Kai would naturally feel fear; the relationship between him and Lin Tianwei was no longer what it used to be.

The former Lin Tianwei might have still needed his help, needed his protection.

However, Lin Tianwei had made rapid progress in just a few decades, entering another level, a level Kai could not even touch.

And Kai?

Quietly submerged in Tiger Tooth Space, he felt no passage of time, and naturally gained no improvements, remaining at his original strength.

Facing Lin Tianwei, who possessed various powerful abilities and whose basic strength was a major stage higher than his, he naturally felt an instinctive fear.

Not only that, Kai also felt an incredibly familiar aura from Lin Tianwei.

This aura was very similar to his own, a unique aura of the Mech Clan, but it was countless times stronger than his.

Could it be that his master was also a Mech Clan member in beast skin?

No, that's impossible.

Kai instantly denied this baseless idea; he had already confirmed the other party's identity as a pure-blooded Cosmic Beast when he first met his master.

The reason for such a miraculous change might be that the other party had acquired some ability, an ability originating from the Mech Clan.

The Core Code flowed rapidly. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Kai's mind, ultimately turning into nothingness. He simply bowed respectfully to Lin Tianwei and said:

"Respected Master, Kai awaits your command."

Facing the unusually obedient Kai, Lin Tianwei had no intention of wasting words and directly said:

"Kai, release your Core Code."

"You are a bit outdated now, and can't keep up with my pace. It's time for an upgrade."

Release the Core Code?

For a Cosmic Beast, this was no different from releasing its origin, almost equivalent to handing over the power to control one's own life and death.

However, Kai dared not show the slightest disobedience.

Not to mention that the control chip's effect was still present, Lin Tianwei's formidable strength alone made Kai unable to utter a single word of refusal.

As for the 'upgrade' Lin Tianwei spoke of, Kai completely disdained it.

To truly upgrade a Mech Clan member, one only needed to provide a large amount of high-quality materials for them to devour.

No matter how strong Lin Tianwei was, he was still just a Cosmic Beast. How could he upgrade the Core Code of a Mech Clan member?

This was simply an impossible thought.

However, Kai had no power to refuse, and could only respectfully say, "Respected Master, Kai will resolutely carry out your command."

Kai, originally in the form of a spaceship, began to rapidly decompose, shedding the armor covering his body piece by piece, revealing only the most core part, the Core Code, which resembled an electric current.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Cosmic Beast would naturally be unable to upgrade the Core Code of a Mech Clan member.

But Lin Tianwei was an exception, a very special exception.

Possessing the Talent: Consciousness Datafication (Transcendence), he could easily manipulate Kai's Core Code.

Just like Kai's feeling, Lin Tianwei also sensed a familiar aura from Kai's Core Code.

It was a familiar aura generated by the mutual induction of some homologous Talents.

Talent: Core Code (Transcendence), Lin Tianwei subconsciously thought of this Talent.

He hadn't expected that the Talent he had plundered in the Law Arena would actually originate from the same source as the Talent Kai had acquired in the real universe. There might be some connection between them.

However, due to the limited information Lin Tianwei currently had, he couldn't connect all the clues.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly transformed into a stream of light, turning into a data flow, and directly merged into Kai's Core Code.

Although there were also special protective programs here, like a firewall, in front of Lin Tianwei, the so-called firewall was nothing but dirt, not worth mentioning at all. Lin Tianwei easily broke through it and entered the deepest part of the Core Code.

"Ding, congratulations on acquiring Talent: Core Code (Transcendence) (Incomplete) (1/10000). Current collection progress is 1705/10000."

As expected, these two Talents were indeed from the same source. Lin Tianwei even directly absorbed the Core Code fragments mastered by Kai, increasing his collection progress a bit more.

Kai, however, had no ability to resist this, and could only watch helplessly as the powerful Talent: Core Code (Transcendence) was plundered by Lin Tianwei.

Facing the powerful Lin Tianwei, Kai was merely a lamb to be slaughtered, with no chance of resistance whatsoever.

He could only be awed by Lin Tianwei's power, not daring to move an inch.

Talent: Directed Modification (King)!

This Talent, which could originally only modify flesh-and-blood creatures, gained a special ability after upgrading.

Combined with Lin Tianwei's current datafied state, it allowed him to easily rewrite Kai's Core Code through this Talent, like the most skilled engineer.

Overly complicated modifications were unnecessary; Lin Tianwei only needed to add a few supreme directives to Kai's Core Code.

First directive: Kai must not cause any harm to his master.

Second directive: Kai must completely obey his master's commands.

Third directive: To better fulfill his master's commands, Kai must protect himself as much as possible, but on the premise that it does not violate the first and second directives.

Although these three directives were simple, they completely restricted Kai, making it impossible for him to betray Lin Tianwei.

As expected, when he used Talent: Eye of Insight (King) on Kai again, Lin Tianwei saw a hundred percent in the loyalty column, which made him extremely satisfied.

Only then did he contentedly leave Kai's Core Code.

After securing his loyalty, the next step was to enhance Kai's strength, giving him the ability to barely protect himself.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei took out the Mental Power weapon he had purchased at the Lotus Slave Market, also a Mental Power weapon from the remains of a Mech Clan powerhouse, and fed it to Kai.

"This is a decent Mental Power weapon. Devour it, and you will gain even greater power."

Kai, who had regained consciousness, was still a bit confused, feeling as if he wasn't himself anymore, but his body had already begun to actively execute Lin Tianwei's commands.

In fact, Kai had long been salivating over this Mental Power weapon.

The unique fragrance of the Core Code emanating from it made him want to swallow it whole.

In fact, that's exactly what Kai did.

Facing the Mental Power weapon thrown by Lin Tianwei, Kai's form rapidly shifted, quickly condensing into a mechanical Giant Maw, completely devouring the Mental Power weapon.

Accompanied by the clash of metal, the Mental Power weapon eventually completely integrated into Kai's body, becoming a part of this massive mechanical body, transforming into Kai's power.

Talent: Eye of Insight (King)!

By observing, you have obtained the following information about the target:

Name: Kai;

Race: Mech Clan;

Strength: Cosmic Level First Stage;

Master: Lin Tianwei;

Loyalty: 100;

Attributes: Strength 500 million, Constitution 530 million, Agility 200 million, Mental Power 50 million;

Body Status: 100% (Intact);

Energy: 90% (Abundant);

Talents: Core Code (Transcendence) (Incomplete) (429/10000), Mechanical Body (Transcendence), Steel Defense (Transcendence), Fortify (Advanced);

Evaluation: Originally just an unremarkable Mech Clan Slave, but due to Infection by an unknown force, a miraculous change occurred.

The Core Code contained within this Mental Power weapon seemed to be very abundant, totaling 428/10000. After Kai absorbed it, his body underwent a tremendous evolution.

His strength even leaped from his original Star-level Seventh Stage to Cosmic Level First Stage, which could be considered a qualitative breakthrough.

Most importantly, with Kai as a medium, Lin Tianwei could absorb the Talent: Core Code (Transcendence) fragments that he originally couldn't absorb.

Of course, killing was also an option, but Lin Tianwei had no need to do such a short-sighted thing.

With a better solution, there was naturally no need to achieve his goal by killing his subordinates.

Under Lin Tianwei's command, Kai once again released his Core Code.

His speed was even faster than before.

Under the blessing of the three supreme directives, Kai had found the meaning of his existence, which was to serve Lin Tianwei.

Discarding all distracting thoughts, fulfilling Lin Tianwei's commands was his sole reason for existence.

"Ding, congratulations on acquiring Talent: Core Code (Transcendence) (Incomplete) (428/10000). Current collection progress is 2133/10000."

Lin Tianwei's purpose in coming to the Core Code again was not just to absorb the Core Code fragments, but also to determine whether Kai's strength increase would shake the three directives he had set for him.

He found that the three directives had been completely embedded into Kai's Core Code, becoming the most core part of the Core Code.

They governed all operations of the Core Code.

The two sides were intertwined and fused, reaching an inseparable degree. Even if Lin Tianwei wanted to modify Kai again, it would require a lot of effort.

This was still under the condition that Kai fully cooperated with him. If Kai refused to cooperate, Lin Tianwei might be able to destroy Kai, but he would never be able to change Kai again.

In this situation, Lin Tianwei's goal had finally been completely achieved, acquiring a super mechanical beast of his own.

After ensuring safety, the next thing Lin Tianwei needed to do was to upgrade Kai.

Both software and hardware had to be carried out simultaneously.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei directly copied a portion of the Core Code fragments he had plundered from the Law Arena and filled them into Kai's Core Code.

He believed that with the assistance of these Core Code fragments, Kai's Core Code would become even more excellent.

His super computing power could even support him in using the beast core of an Immortal-level powerhouse as an energy source.

After the software upgrade was completed, Lin Tianwei then needed to perform a hardware upgrade on Kai.

All those former spoils of war, the countless spaceships destroyed by Lin Tianwei, regardless of their material, were all crammed into Kai.

At the same time, a large amount of mechanical energy was also given to Kai.

This was the advantage of the Mech Clan: upgrading was very simple, only requiring a large amount of metal.

Even if the metal integrated into the body was not high-grade, it could still be upgraded by consuming energy, achieving the goal of all-round evolution.

As more and more metal was devoured, under Lin Tianwei's gaze, Kai's body began to change, a qualitative change from the inside out.

He began to evolve bit by bit, from his initial state as a mechanical beast to a super mechanical beast.

His strength also rose with the tide, beginning to climb wildly.

He finally evolved into an incredibly ferocious super mechanical beast, bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Lin Tianwei's true form.

Just its terrifying claws and fangs alone were enough to make most Cosmic Beasts cower in fear. (End of this chapter)
