[Your simulated personality collapses]

As Chernobyl squeezed forcefully, the beautiful youth shattered like exquisite porcelain dropped on the ground, instantly splintering into pieces.

The same event occurred three times in different places.

"So it’s all real, such a strange ability, quite like the style of a digital life form." Chernobyl muttered to itself.

"Even if it’s the First Sage, this time it’s certain death!" Another Chernobyl remarked.

The seawater parted, and the last Chernobyl slowly emerged, twisting its neck, with three people standing together. The mighty network signal carrying the bodies of the three made them almost indistinguishable from being physical entities.

Infinite Personality

This is the boss template of the Super AI, and the special effect of this template is the ability to replicate multiple virtual personalities simultaneously.

As long as the local area network remains uninterrupted, these personalities will be born endlessly.

In other words, if the network continues, it becomes immortal.

This is an ability that can be considered bug-level because from the perspective of artificial intelligence, ’simulated personality’ is its sole vulnerability. If the personality can be hacked, it becomes nothing more than a pure response machine, no different from Xiao Du or Xiaomi.

"There’s one left, proceed with big data retrieval."

The three stood around this ’data life form’ in a triangular position, and three beams of radiance penetrated into the data life form’s body. Almost instantly, a figure was ejected from the space, staggering.

This was none other than the body of the Rich Lady Love Prototype.

By leveraging the perception of the data life form and its body, Chernobyl directly cracked Gao Gong’s space code.

"Got you!"

In the next moment, Gao Gong’s ankle tightened, and an arm suddenly reached out from the void. Simultaneously, the system voice of the ’Mother City Level Code’ invasion sounded once again.

"Ring of Imprisonment!"

The ’Tier 3 weapon’ in Gao Gong’s hand was simultaneously thrust downward, directly pressing against the palm. The mysterious codes on the Civilized Stick lit up ring after ring, and with each illumination, a special digital lock appeared from the palm, locking the opponent in place.

The digital lock performs a closed loop on the logical framework of AI/digital life/virtual creatures. Once the closed loop is completed, it freezes the opponent’s thoughts. Skill limitation: level less than 90, perception less than 500 points.

"Strange."

"Really strange."

"How does he have a signal?"

Watching Gao Gong suppress one virtual personality after another, using the power of the Tier 3 weapon and enigmatic hacker techniques, the three Chernobyls spoke in unison.

The reason was simple. In theory, within its own local area network, the opponent’s signal shouldn’t be that strong, and the information energy should weaken as it goes on.

But from the opponent’s performance, there seemed to be no sign of this at all.

"Could it be—"

One of the Chernobyls grabbed with its hand, and the entire sea surface disappeared, replaced by countless electronic defense walls, each wall bearing numerous password locks, with the passwords continually shifting.

How is the opponent cracking so many ’WiFi passwords’?

As one Chernobyl slightly tapped the surface with its toe, the water turned into a mirror, displaying a scene from reality.

Gao Gong still sat on the window seat of the interstellar train, unchanged in expression, yet on his skin, red plant-like wires grew densely, turning him into what looked like a humanoid vegetation.

"Is this—Red Signal Root?"

The Red Signal Root, an E-level radiation plant, due to its extremely weak body, evolved a unique ability to survive, which is to crack passwords. Whenever a mechanical body or AI approaches, this cracking ability activates automatically, secretly hacking the opponent’s firewall, then converting the life signal into a unique companion code.

Once this code is implanted, whether a modified human or a robot, they subconsciously ignore it.

Undoubtedly, this cracking ability is precisely for deciphering ’WiFi passwords’.

What was more unexpected to him was that in reality, Gao Gong suddenly looked up and glanced at him.

"Surprised?"

Chernobyl laughed grotesquely; following its command, the scene before them changed again. The electronic defense wall vanished, replaced by eight massive signal storms. Various signals—chemical, visual, auditory, tactile...—were sucked into them.

Unquestionably, this was a Tier 2 AOE ultimate move.

Chernobyl had once used this move to drain ten Reproductive Warriors alive.

Since it could create a virtual world from reality, in reverse, it naturally could virtualize people in the real world with the power of the local area network.

Yet unexpectedly, Gao Gong’s body, after turning pale, showed no further change. In fact, his complexion turned even rosier.

Everyone from the Mother City, including Pupil and Chapai, looked at him in shock.

The reason was simple: an incredibly terrifying biological aura suddenly emitted from Gao Gong’s body. Under this aura, everyone felt as if countless radiation beasts were watching them.

This sensation—Beast Tide!

"Trying to drain me dry, what a joke, not even the rich ladies achieved that."

"And also, being a keyboard warrior requires self-awareness, don’t taunt face to face."

Gao Gong suddenly stood up, with black and white light swirling wildly, covering the entire train car in an instant.

"Can’t find your body, then don’t blame me for collateral damage!"

In the next moment, all metal-based technological products began to buzz; apart from the train body itself, everything sprouted cracks, sparing not even some of the Mother City’s mechanical modified people.

Metal Magnetic Field Control (Mutant Talent) (Tier 2 Level I): A powerful magnetic field capable of distorting and transforming ordinary metals, interfering with metallic and magnetic substances on a large scale, greatly reducing the state of mechanical life forms, and slightly lowering the operational efficiency of large mechanical architectures.

In the comics, the ability of the Magnetic King was nearly unsolvable; although Gao didn’t have such a bug-like capability, this ability is indeed a nemesis to the Mechanical System.

Yet aside from Gao Gong, another tremendous force burst forth.

As a 60-level Information System boss with 4 boss templates, the opponent wasn’t so simple either. On an interstellar train reaching the third cosmic velocity, terrifying network signals pounded wildly all around, and shattered faces squeezed from ground, roof, and windows, twisted and mutated, mingled with all sorts of emotions.

’Ready to act!’

’Alright!’

Pupil and Chapai exchanged looks, almost without hesitation, deciding to assist Gao Gong. The reason was simple: it was not only a matter of the conflict between the two but also about the prestige of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division.

Since Arasaka ’died,’ and Yagami Suuji was heavily injured, ever more absurd rumors had spread. Under such rumors, the reputation of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division as the ’First Martial Arts Department’ seemed to be faltering.

Defending Gao Gong, essentially, was defending the dignity of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division.

And clearly, others thought the same, so each targeted a different opponent.

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, the battle between two top strong individuals was almost over in a blink of an eye.

Gao Gong showed a peculiar smile.

While around Chernobyl, all holographic projections vanished, showing an expression of disbelief.

The surrounding faces also disappeared.

In the real world, neither had won; Gao Gong didn’t locate the opponent’s body, similarly, the opponent didn’t drain Gao Gong’s biological signal.

But within the ’local area network’, taking advantage of the hardware distortion-induced ’downtime’, Gao Gong sent the opponent a grand gift. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Thin wisps of indescribable white mist, during the moment of downtime, were injected by Gao Gong into the opponent’s body.
