I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List?

Having explained up to this point, Hans's voice, coming through the mist, paused noticeably.

"This means that highly intelligent mechanical lifeforms also possess something called a 'soul.'"

"They are strange lifeforms clad in steel shells, not cold metal and iron."

Hearing this, Loren, leaning against the shore of the hot spring, quietly opened his eyes.

Interesting...

No wonder I sensed that my sixth ability—【Crossroads of Fate】—was effective on those robot gentlemen as well...

Does intelligence give rise to soul power?

This Star Realm is becoming more and more fascinating...

Just as Loren was pondering this in his mind, Hans's voice continued from within the mist.

"For a mechanical lifeform to achieve Legendary status, the conditions might be the same as for a human."

"The only difference is that because mechanical lifeforms almost never make mistakes and have almost no emotional fluctuations, they don't need to wait for that breakthrough opportunity."

"But for a mechanical lifeform to become Legendary, its Energy Core and soul both need to meet certain conditions."

"At the same time, I also noticed that after No. 7 became Legendary, it was noticeably more autonomous."

"It's still my close robot companion, but its behavior patterns and logical reasoning are clearly more independent."

"It's as if, after achieving Legendary status, its inner self grew stronger, making up for the flaws and weaknesses it had before."

"Just like how those human Legendary powerhouses no longer feel lost inside."

Having explained this much, Hans's voice, coming through the mist, had clearly become excited!

He might not be the first to discover this secret, but he was definitely the happiest person to find it!

Those twelve robot companions had accompanied him through the hardest years of his life!

They were his everything, his beloved family!

And it seemed he had discovered the secret to making his family stronger!!

"After realizing this line of thought, I understood that every Legendary being is unique."

"So I started quietly hacking into the data banks of those superhuman organizations on the Federation Network."

"The Federation Security Bureau, the military department, the Energy Department, the Star Traveler Society, the Star Realm Spell Alliance—including the Interstellar Hunter Association..."

"In the data banks of these organizations, I collected a huge number of Meditation Methods of various levels!"

"After that, I handed all those Meditation Methods I'd gathered to my robot companions!"

"I had them organize and modify the most suitable Meditation Methods for themselves, in order to strengthen their soul power!!"

By now, Hans's voice coming from the mist was even more agitated!

"After they had modified Meditation Methods suitable for themselves and started practicing them!"

"I began taking each robot companion separately, relying on their superhuman intuition, to design new Energy Cores!"

"By combining technological knowledge with superhuman intuition, I spent ten days designing the first brand-new Energy Core!"

"The transmission routes and storage modules of this Energy Core were like an artwork that couldn't be explained by logic!"

"This Energy Core was unique!"

"When I installed this brand-new Energy Core into my No. 9 robot companion's body!"

"Sure enough, after an energy upheaval, it achieved Legendary status on the operating table in the Upgrade Zone!"

"From that point on, the rest was simple!"

"After I continued designing ten more unique Energy Cores, all of my robot companions achieved Legendary status!"

"Mechanical lifeforms, just like other beings of flesh and blood, have the potential to become Legendary!"

"The key lies in their Spiritual Power and their Energy Cores!"

...

Hans's voice from within the mist ended there.

The large, steam-filled hot spring fell into silence.

After hearing Hans's scientific research story, the others—whether human or dragon, even Raven—had looks of contemplation in their eyes.

A long while later.

Miss Silver Dragon, who had revealed her tens-of-meters-long true form to soak in the bath, also let out a thoughtful voice from the distant mist:

"Come to think of it, the Ancestral Dragon from my bloodline who participated in the First Ragnarok once left behind a saying in the inherited memories: 'Regardless of race, the soul, the flesh, and the energy are all key points on the path to the supreme.'"

Hearing Miss Silver Dragon's words, Hans also sent back a voice of agreement:

"Exactly, the Legendary tier for mechanical lifeforms is more like a reward for reaching certain standards in Spiritual Power and Energy Core."

At this moment, listening to the discussion between Miss Silver Dragon and Hans.

Loren, who was resting with his eyes closed by the shore of the Hot Spring Lake, silently muttered in his mind:

"Mr. Slab, do you know the relationship between the soul, energy, and flesh, and the tiers of superhumans?"

The next second.

A somewhat deep voice sounded very discreetly in Loren's ear.

"Respected Mr. Loren, I just learned through one-fifth of the Authority of Omniscience that for most superhumans in the current Star Realm, there are two ways to achieve the Legendary tier."

"The first method: with no flaws in the mind, when Spiritual Power and energy reach a certain intensity, and you must wait for a unique opportunity."

"The second method: with no flaws in the mind, when the flesh and energy reach a certain intensity, and you must also wait for a unique opportunity."

"As for those mechanical companions of your friend, they achieved Legendary status through the first method."

"It's just that they have almost no mental flaws, which makes achieving the Legendary tier seem relatively easy."

Loren, resting by the shore of the Hot Spring Lake, felt a stir in his heart after hearing Mr. Slab's detailed explanation.

He silently muttered another question in his mind:

"And what about achieving Demigod? What method is needed?"

One second later.

The secretive, deep voice of Mr. Slab once again echoed in Loren's ear.

"Respected Mr. Loren, in the current Star Realm, there is only one way for most superhumans to achieve the Demigod tier."

"With no flaws in the mind, Spiritual Power, the flesh, and energy must all reach a certain limit. Then, you must wait for a unique opportunity."

"Under this unique opportunity, using the Spiritual Power, flesh, and energy you've accumulated to their limits, you skillfully converge them into an absolute mastery of the self in a conceptual sense."

"The superhumans of today affectionately call this process 'igniting the Divine Spark.'"
