Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 340: Self-Liberation through WisdomThe sound vanished.
It was as if he was in the depths of space.
He could see.
But could not hear.
The black hole absorbed everything, crushed everything.
One second...
Boom...!
As sound gradually returned.
As that roar grew from faint to extreme.
And then.
Exploded!
Rumble——
In the sky above, at the center of the round moon city, an extremely complete gap appeared.
The Integrated Superbrain was completely silent.
"Done."
"So next..."
What is the most anticipated thing about conquering a Hunting Platform?
It's not killing the BOSS, but the rewards that drop from its corpse after it dies.
"Speaking of which, I hope the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's Transcend Warhead didn't crush all the rewards to dust?"
"It shouldn't have, right?"
Standing atop the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's head.
He arrived at the place annihilated by the Transcend Warhead.
Looking around.
This place seemed to have nothing.
Could they really have been crushed to nothingness?
"Hmm, what's that?"
Just as Ye Qiyan was about to look elsewhere, the light emitted by the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon caused a momentary reflection in a certain area of the sky.
"Let's go check over there."
Arriving at that spot, the thing reflecting the light was a translucent cube with several interconnected spheres inside.
"What is this?"
He touched it, and the System's identification light screen activated.
[Prototype Unified Will Cube (Level 8)]
[A special material required for creating a Unified Will entity, extremely precious. However, this is only the prototype of a complete Unified Will Cube and can only create ordinary Unified Will entities.]
It was actually this kind of thing.
Ye Qiyan hadn't forgotten that he still had a Blueprint rewarded by the System after retreating unscathed from that Level 12 Despair Platform.
The materials it required were the Nano Limit Data Chain + Unified Will Cube. He already possessed the ordinary version of the former, and now he had obtained the prototype of the latter.
"Unified Will, Integrated Superbrain? It's not really that strange for this to drop from that guy."
"Hey, pretty good luck. Looks like I can really make that Blueprint now."
Ye Qiyan weighed it in his hand a few times, thinking.
Both materials were Level 8.
So, they just needed to undergo Sublimation twice. As long as their potential wasn't exhausted, they would definitely reach that level.
"Hunting Platforms really are simpler."
Less than a day, not even three hours.
Ye Qiyan summoned the light screen.
On it, the objective to leave the station had already been achieved.
In other words, this Integrated Superbrain was the true hunting target of this station.
He summoned the Demon Ravens, instructing them to temporarily stay in this shattered round moon city to collect resources.
Ye Qiyan returned to the top of that tall building.
"So, only these remain."
His gaze swept over the Modified Humans below who, after the Integrated Superbrain was destroyed, had become petrified, frozen in place.
"Truly pitiful. Clearly living humans, yet forced to become what they are now."
"Modified Humans... tsk tsk. The mark of humanity isn't just the brain and a human-like form."
Ye Qiyan shook his head, snapped his fingers, and a Card Sequence hovered in his palm.
[Calamity Card · Intelligence Machine Crisis]
The Card Sequence named Calamity emitted a sinister glow in his hand.
First ability.
[Crisis: Mechanical Enlightenment]
They were Modified Humans.
But they also had completely lost their connection to humanity.
The atrophied brains existing within their skulls began to disintegrate and disperse under the effect of [Mechanical Enlightenment], until, within their bodies, they transformed into a special kind of electrical current.
This current merged with their bodies. These Modified Humans, who were once human, regained the lowest level of intelligence.
Immediately after.
Second ability.
[Calamity: Machine Rebellion!]
The sinister glow transformed.
After all were enlightened, the Modified Humans' eyes flashed with the red light of rampancy.
They began to violently attack each other.
Even launching self-destruction against their own bodies.
As if they harbored endless hatred for these mechanical forms.
One last time.
Even if it was the lowest level of intelligence, perhaps, having once been human, destroying each other upon gaining intelligence could be considered a kind of self-liberation for humanity.
This self-liberation lasted for a full day and night.
During this time, they did not harm any existence other than each other.
When the last Modified Human stood upon a hill-like pile of wreckage.
The red light in its eyes dissipated.
Replaced, surprisingly, by a moment of clarity.
It raised its head, gazing up at the young man at the highest point.
Suddenly, it lifted its palm, striking the place where its heart once beat when it was human.
Then, its hand formed a claw, piercing through its own heartless location.
Thud—
The last Modified Human fell.
They had achieved liberation.
"Awakening a true will at the very end?"
Ye Qiyan stood up from the edge of the skyscraper's rooftop. In his hands were the two materials that had already undergone Sublimation.
[Nano Ordinary Data Chain → Nano Top-Tier Data Chain (Level 9)]
[Prototype Unified Will Cube → Imitation · Unified Will Cube (Level 9)]
This was the result of his efforts over the past day.
The potential of these two materials was not exhausted.
They just needed one more Sublimation to be ready for crafting.
"My talent is sufficient, but... I just have a feeling that Sublimating Level 9 items now would directly turn them into ungraded items... just like before, right?"
Ye Qiyan pressed his palm against his own chest.
"It seems even I myself still have plenty of room for growth. Sublimation can also continue to be Sublimated, but... how much will be needed next time?"
"Let me look forward to it."
Time passed.
Using [Artifice Command], Ye Qiyan recombined the two Modified Humans that the Integrated Superbrain had called "Supreme."
Although these two were far weaker than the Steam King of the past.
Now, having lost their brain cores and being excessively fragmented, their combat power would be significantly reduced.
But ultimately, they were still elite mobs from a Level 8 Platform.
They would be decent for bolstering the Mechanical Army's presence.
Gluttony went to slowly devour.
Ye Qiyan led the main force back to his Train.
He opened the Honeycomb Carriage, allowing the Giant Sting Bees to follow the Demon Ravens in collecting useful resources within The City That Never Sleeps and the shattered round moon city in the sky.
"U-um... Hero, sir."
A timid voice sounded from a corner.
Ye Qiyan looked over. The little girl named Miao Qian was hiding there.
"You're still here. Go back. No one will force you to undergo modification anymore."
"Although the city you lived in is pretty much destroyed."
Miao Qian pinched the cloth of her clothes.
"It's... it's okay... Thank you, Hero, sir. That... I..."
"My Train isn't very welcoming to others. Go back."
"..."
The little girl, Miao Qian, bowed deeply towards Ye Qiyan's direction.
"Hero big brother, thank you!"
