CHAPTER 823: 821: GEAR ACCELERATION

Across countless planes away.

In a special city where theology and technology are fused and highly developed, there exists a [Plane Star Chart] for observation by high-level divinity only.

All worlds related to the Main Material Plane are presented in the form of "dots" on the star chart,

At present,

A brilliant light, symbolizing the birth of divinity, suddenly lights up in a dark area near the border of the star chart where there is no "dot" mark.

The Watcher immediately reported this intelligence upwards.

After inquiry, it was discovered that this area corresponds to the activity range of the ’Disease World’.

"Unexpectedly, the Lung Venerable recently found an interesting group of young people there who can slay evil, along with a ’death row prisoner’ sent there.

And now, an interesting existence appears that has actually derived a trace of divinity in the absence of a Divine Status, unbelievable.

It seems we need to advance our ’recruitment’, and who knows if that special small world will still hold a grudge against us."

"What if they hold a grudge? The malignancy has already begun to spread, and they surely don’t want to die completely.

The Storybook left by the Lung Venerable over there has long laid the groundwork for subsequent recruitment;

those infected are not foolish, and they naturally see the situation clearly.

At that time, giving them rewards beyond their expectations should hopefully recruit some interesting fellows."

...

The Old World was unaware that Reagan’s ascension was further pushing the gears of the world forward, as everyone’s attention was focused on Reagan, who had now become an Ascender,

Yet Reagan’s own state was somewhat peculiar,

He was not filled with killing intent nor hatred for evil, though he pointed his gun at the Blood Boiling Bar between the walls, his thoughts were mostly on himself.

Feeling his own changes, he reviewed the unexpected ascension to make the process as perfect as possible.

Now, Reagan is no longer bound by a conventional brain;

those pure white currents on the brain’s surface, which the naked eye can hardly capture, are his ’brain’ post-ascension.

His thinking ability received an unprecedented enhancement, superfast reviewing the events that had happened before.

"True ascension needs ’breaking and then establishing’, requires ’complete abandonment’.

It requires me to abandon all blood and flesh, completely discarding the inherent concept of being a creature of blood and flesh, leaving all consciousness in the digital realm.

Previously, according to the Ascension Theory, I steadily advanced my mechanization, even going to the Black Ascaris Company to acquire better electrical field control technology and obtaining the Moon Phase Essence from Lorrian to ensure metal stability.

Only one step remained, yet fearing that my consciousness would be entirely extinguished in the abandonment process, unable to stay by Faye’s side, unable to fulfill the vow to take care of her, I dared not take this step for a long time,

Seeking the most stable, assured, and risk-free plan;

such thoughts completely confined me, but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Now, the brain being severed, the flesh being erased... is indeed a god-given opportunity.

Luckily, I have always been preparing, modifying the brain in various ways, setting different technological safeguards.

Fortunately, those old guys came all the way here, caused a weak electric current response through brainwave resonance,

Luckily, I had Faye initiate Agreement Q in advance, her body did not come out to disturb my thoughts, only silently helping me mobilize the remaining electrical energy.

Effort and fortune allowed me to firmly seize this opportunity;

now I am already capable of protecting her for a lifetime.

The entire Old World seems to have become smaller..."

Reagan’s vision no longer receives ’visible light’ within the conventional wavelength range but instead transforms all environmental information into digital signals of 0 and 1, moving at different densities, speeds, and vectors.

Whether it’s the smiling audience in the stands, blood people, or William and others, they are all composed of 0 and 1,

However, the combination of these 0 and 1 varies significantly, for instance, the number of 0 and 1 on Art is more than all the others combined at the scene.

For example, the 0 and 1 at William’s abdomen are collapsing inward, flowing, and there aren’t any numbers at his right eye, as if completely erased.

Whereas Zede has the fewest number of 0 and 1 at the scene, with the majority being 0. .

...

The ascender posture Reagan exhibited shocked everyone present, especially the blood people’s faces were extremely ugly, even the Pulaid Great Emperor could feel a sense of threat from him.

Though he seldom had contact with people of the new era, looking back, in the Old World, there were no more than three people who made him feel this way apart from the Plague Master.

However, it’s just a sense of threat, defeating him is another matter entirely.

The arrogance surging in the Great Emperor’s body was quickly suppressed without any emotional fluctuation, softly saying: "We lost the first match, didn’t expect the opponent was the ’sole stake’ of the entire Neisseria Ones and successfully wagered at the last moment.

Enwei, Glatoni, prepare yourselves... there must be no changes in the next match."

Enwei looked bitterly at the fully mechanized young man, exuding some sort of high-rank aura, "Boss, at the time we made the largest moves during the plunder of the Neisseria Ones... now if these brainers rise fully relying on this person, they will surely retaliate against us."

"The structure of the New World is something no one can predict.

By that time, our blood plague will spread at the first moment;

if these guys want to find trouble, let them. Now we only need to finish this battle and get that skin that can capture the upper hand at the Skin Factory."

"Yes..."

The situation on the field has already reversed,

The Blood Boiling Bar, which was slammed into the wall and emitted further anger, crawled out again with a bubbling, blood-drenched body, even larger in size, with more, wider blades growing on the body, still getting stronger.

But what Reagan saw was the angrier the opponent got, the emotions would cause a temporary increase in 1 and 0, and these temporarily increased digital codes wouldn’t sustain and existed with loopholes.

"So that’s how it’s structured."

Facing the Earl Bar high up, with arms crossed, preparing to perform ’flash’ again, Reagan simply beckoned lightly at him.

Whoosh!

A faster, stronger red light flashed across the air,

But this time, Reagan’s head wasn’t cut off,

The blade only left a slightly burnt red streak due to high-temperature friction on Reagan’s all-metal structured neck.

Yet the Earl Bar, who completed the flash, became strange at the moment of landing,

He suddenly kneeled on one knee, and although there were no visible injuries on his body, the boiling blood throughout his body began to calm down and cool down, and the melted skin started to regrow.

The angry emotion dissipated.

The reason Reagan got hit by the neck in the previous flash was merely to deliberately approach the opponent. When the slash fell on Reagan’s neck, Reagan simultaneously placed his hand on Bar’s head.

The contact allowed white current filaments to infiltrate the opponent’s brain, reaching deep into consciousness (seen by Reagan as a cluster of consciousness code wrapped in 0 and 1), completely severing the root of Earl Bar’s anger.

Without the angry emotion, the Earl Bar, who could not drive the blood plague and became a plague slave, instantly transformed into the lowest-grade blood person, even incomparable to an ordinary Earl.

In the next second.

The long spear penetrated, from head to toe! It ended this blood prisoner who should have been executed earlier.

Meanwhile, a bewitching voice echoed in the venue.

"Ah~ I just got friendly with Catherine in the dream, and how did it end~ Ah, as expected, once a blood prisoner is caught by the weakness, it immediately becomes useless waste.

Not playing, not playing!

Catherine holding the skill from beyond realms, combined with the Deep Sea Dream Technique that is no less than the Ancestor Primordial Body, makes it quite laborious for me.

And here suddenly emerges a New Era creation from the Neisseria Cluster, how could I possibly win."

Hardly finishing her words,

the black and white lotus appeared again,

A flirtatious Naste tidied her somewhat disheveled red hair, pulling the ribbon to cover the key parts of her body, gave Catherine a heartfelt goodbye kiss, and flew out of the field.

Her voluntary exit did not receive anger from the Emperor but rather a slight nod.

The first match concluded,

Originally, according to William’s ’field-racehorse’ script, the first match was supposed to be lost, but who knew Lady Luck was by his side today, and unexpectedly took it.

William’s entire tongue flicked out in excitement, reaching some mental peak.

Hurriedly patting Art and the teacher on the shoulders, "Counting on you two next! If we can take this, I won’t need to risk a fight with the Emperor."
