[Your bloodline has been transformed from 'Special-Level Energy Symbiote' to S-Level Bloodline 'Master of Beast Mimic']

[You have mastered the S-Level Radiation Field]

S-Level Bloodline Master of Beast Mimic: You are challenging the limits of carbon-based species on this planet, with an evolution efficiency of +200%, transformation success rate (carbon-based species) +400%. Additional effects: Radiation Beast transformation, gigantification, organ solidification.

Gao Gong opened his eyes, and in the next moment, with a 'pop', all the lights in the entire experimental base burst, with strips of mimic light swirling around him.

This 'mimic light' seemed like a blend of black and white, where their intersection could transform into any color on the spectrum, whether visible to the naked eye or not.

And in a world where only Gao Gong could 'see', a super large transparent jellyfish enveloped the entire continent.

This is the true form of 'Little Lady No. 2', the real Brain-in-a-Vat.

'You seem to have become a being like me?'

'No, still far off.'

Indeed, it is still far off, from A-Level to S-Level is a huge challenge, and from S-Level to SS-Level is just the same.

With Gao Gong's current vision, he could finally tell, the true form of the Brain-in-a-Vat is an SS-Level organism.

If she were to take it a step further and merge with this planet's Gaia's Will, then she would become SSS-Level, reaching the species limit of the planet.

'I am going to modify your genes.'

The exchange between the two was just a minor collision of bioelectric currents, and in the next moment, countless tiny sparks of electricity wrapped around Gao Gong.

Gao Gong was as if he had returned to the womb, back to the time of obscured consciousness.

In a daze, he seemed to 'see': the double helix DNA structure being split, outside of the bases and inside the phosphate, a thin line being sculpted out, and as this line extended, the genetic material of countless Radiation Beasts was pieced together.

There is a limit to evolution.

And at this moment, the Brain-in-a-Vat shared her limit with Gao Gong.

Without a maxed-out favorability, this would absolutely not be possible.

The system's notification sound still came as scheduled.

'Ding——'

[Transfer completed, you have acquired the hidden profession 'Beast Mechanic Transformer', Power +20, Agility +30, Endurance +30, Intelligence +20, Perception +20, you have gained 100 skill points, 20 free attribute points, 3 specialty points, and 1 talent point]

[You have gained the talent 'Beast Mechanical Transformation']

[You have gained the talent 'New Gene Biotype']

[Your Biological Energy +10000]

[Radiation Beast information unlocked, 500 species, with three additional A-Level bloodlines: Crimson Empress, Mother of Darkness, Radiation Throne]

Gao Gong glanced over and paused at 'Specialty Points' and 'Talent Points'.

Right, after Tier 2, both specialty and talent are unlocked, becoming upgradeable attributes.

Besides that, the three A-Level bloodlines, Crimson Empress was an old acquaintance, while the other two were recently acquired A-Level bloodlines by Du Gao Technology.

Although A-Level Beast Kings are hard to subdue, injuring them and obtaining their genetic fragments is not difficult.

Mother of Darkness and Radiation Throne are both among the best.

Below the unlocked transformation information, there's another line — Unlocked information (6.51 million species)

This is probably the number of Radiation Beasts mastered by the Brain-in-a-Vat.

Gao Gong quietly floated in the darkness, flicked his hand, and the light between black and white turned into an electric current, instantly lighting up the entire laboratory and spreading to all the departments of the Group's headquarters.

'Earth Crust Engine efficiency increased by 20%'

'Energy overflow phenomenon detected in major energy storage devices'

'Nuclear fission phenomenon detected, entering highest alert state'

"So this is what an S-Level Radiation Field is like," Gao Gong muttered to himself, with strands of light circling around his fingertips.

An A-Level Radiation Field is already equivalent to a life forbidden zone.

As for an S-Level Radiation Field, it's already infinitely close to the outbreak state of a Beast Tide.

Simply put, as long as Gao Gong has enough time, he can always create the bombing effect of a 'small nuclear bomb'.

"Also, the S-Level Radiation Bloodline still holds considerable hostility towards you."

Gao Gong looked up at the equally suspended 'Little Lady No. 2', as an indescribable sense of aversion emerged.

"The stronger the bloodline, the harder it is to integrate, after all, like you, they can already 'see' me." 'Little Lady No. 2' shrugged and said.

"How many S-Level Radiation Beasts are there on this planet?" Gao Gong asked curiously.

"Roughly 17 species," 'Little Lady No. 2' glanced at Gao Gong, "including you, that makes 18 species."

After the second mechanical war ended, the Radiation Beast ecology expanded, nurturing millions of Radiation Beast species, and only 17 bloodlines reaching the peak; it's safe to say that the natural growth of bloodlines has a very low success rate in evolution.

"I can feel that not only have they 'seen' me, but they also interconnect; perhaps, in the near future, I will need your help."

Beast King War, is it?

Gao Gong nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand, contact me then."

"Well, I'm logging off now."

'Little Lady No. 2' nodded, and the next moment, her crystal-clear eyes dimmed. When she opened them again, she first looked around in confusion, and then once her eyes focused, she paused, before directly kicking Gao Gong.

"You rascal, dare to be naked in front of me, you scoundrel!"

...

Two days later, Gao Gong and Director Du stood on the tarmac. Director Du helped Gao Gong adjust his collar, gently saying:

"If you leave two days later, the new mechanical body will be ready."

"There's not enough time, Aramaki's like a ghostly overseer, urging me ten times a day; I can't even wait."

"Luckily, it's Cybertron we're heading to, so whether we use the mechanical body or not doesn't matter," Gao Gong said lazily.

Just as the 'Deep Net' holds the highest control over Cyber Space, the 'Fortress' can easily change the AI's personality. In the eyes of the most combative 'Cybertron,' the mechanical body is just its disguise, and it has an absolute desire for control.

"That's true."

Director Du nodded and said, "By the time you return, the Corporate War should be starting. Before that, I'll quickly produce those large weapons."

"Thank you, President," Gao Gong looked up at the sky, seemingly forever shrouded in dark clouds, "The person picking me up is coming, I'm off."

With that, he gave a gentle peck on Du Zhaodi's fair pink cheek, and then his entire body began to transform. From his shoulder blades, three pairs of silver-white ring-shaped wings rapidly protruded. At the same time, his feet retracted, hardened, and sharp claws extended. His head quickly became sharp, forming a triangular bird head, while all over his body, biological energy ports started to light up.

[B+ Level Radiation Beast form, Alien Bird transformation complete]

Darn it! I've turned into a big bird, why is it still decreasing!

Gao Gong glanced at his personal panel once more and found that the transformation was thorough, completely into a Radiation Beast panel.

"Off I go."

The Alien Bird spoke human words, and in the next moment, a large crater appeared on the ground, and a small black dot simultaneously appeared in the sky.

Director Du looked up for a moment, nodded in satisfaction, "Du Gao Group, the pinnacle of biotechnology, quite suitable for breeding."

...

The Alien Bird isn't an alien species, but it very much resembles a UFO, and most importantly, its speed ranks in the top ten among all radiation beasts, reaching 20 times the speed of sound. Crossing a continent takes only 10 minutes, and circling this planet takes under 40 minutes.

So, in less than a minute, 'Gao Gong' broke through the cloud layer, reaching beyond the radiation atmosphere. In the sky, stars twinkled, and a silver band stretched from the satellite of this planet all the way to the edge of the horizon.

This is the asteroid belt of this star system, approximately 140 million kilometers, and the location of Mechanical Split Star is right in the middle of this asteroid belt.

Gao Gong glanced at the panel and, sure enough, once he exited the atmosphere, the 'Destruction Form' option blackened, and the 'Purple String Space' went into a silent state.

Although there is no note, the so-called infinite energy should only be usable 'within the planet.' Once beyond the planet's range, the energy supply's magnetic field disappears.

And coincidentally, Cybertron's headquarters is on the moving satellite of this planet.

'Welcome to your arrival.'

In Gao Gong's mind, a female voice suddenly echoed.

'Who are you?'

'I am the department AI of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, you may call me Miss Ke.'

'I am here to receive you.'

Gao Gong looked up and saw a house-sized Mechanical Octopus staring at him coldly with six pairs of crimson mechanical eyes.
