All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 318 Chu Xiu sets a trap, and a swarm of lab rats arrive.
“People with ancient genes are not easy to find. In all my years, I’ve only ever met one person besides myself: you!” said Masaki Keigo.

But Chu Xiu didn't care and smiled, saying, "Don't worry!"

Besides Masaki Keigo and Daigo, Chu Xiu didn't know if there were any other people who possessed the genes of an ancient warrior. Asuka was a modern Ultraman and might not have the genes of an ancient warrior.

Among the players, it's hard to say who might choose characters like Tiga or Camilla, who are ancient warriors.

But there must be many people who can be used for experiments.

All players are the original form of "Ultraman". Even if they do not have the genes of the ancient warriors, they are still people who can transform and can be used as experimental guinea pigs.

Yes, that's right, players.

Chu Xiu planned to set a trap to lure some players over and use them as guinea pigs.

"Go and issue a notice saying that you have mastered a technology to stimulate the light of the mind, but because its application is not yet mature, you need some people to conduct experiments!" Chu Xiu said.

This puzzled Masaki Keigo: "If that's all, will anyone come?"

"I don't know if there will be people who come to cooperate with your experiments, but there will definitely be people who secretly spy on you and sneak in to steal your technology. They are all our guinea pigs!"

……

Saburo Koizumi is a player from the upper reaches of the River of Time, on a server called "United Nations Forever Server".

Although his talent was mediocre, he was lucky.

In the very first match, he obtained a mark of the heavens, which allowed him to advance all the way, winning first place in seven consecutive matches and obtaining the mark each time.

Therefore, in the eighth game, he chose the "Mind Imprint" match.

Came here.

"I don't know why, but after entering this instance, I always feel like a fish in water, just like I'm back home!" Saburo Koizumi thought to himself, "It must be the spiritual imprint calling me?"

But soon, he became worried.

How do I transform?
He hadn't even cultivated his mental power, putting him at a disadvantage in this match. Therefore, he chose "King of Ultra," which was listed first in the class template.

They believe that the king must be the most powerful Ultraman, and that he will definitely succeed.

However, the first step of the transformation got him stuck.

"The system notification says I can find resources on the map. Could it be that someone in this world has the ability to transform, and I can learn from them?" Koizumi Saburo wondered.

Just then, a news report caught his attention.

That was a research report published by Cedik Technologies about "Light of the Mind," which mentioned developing the power of the mind and recruiting volunteers for trials.

Saburo Koizumi wasn't interested in volunteering, but he was very interested in the technology related to the Light of the Soul.

They believed it could help them transform.

So that very night, he covered his face and secretly sneaked into the Sediq Company.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the laboratory, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, followed by a blackout and loss of consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was inside a "glass cylinder".

There were several cylinders nearby.

Each one contained a person, some still unconscious, others already awake, trying to pry open the glass to get out.

In front of them, Masaki Keigo was fiddling with the instruments.

While fiddling with it, he said, "Don't waste your energy! This glass is all imported from China. Even if you were ten times stronger, you still wouldn't be able to break it!"

Chu Xiu set a trap and caught a total of seven players.

Each of them was highly skilled and daring, believing they were proficient in all sorts of methods and impossible to catch—and in fact, most of them had escape methods comparable to Sylvester Stallone.

When they lie in wait, they are comparable to the Seraph, the king of assassins.

Even an ordinary person could move freely within the Sediq Corporation.

However, with Chu Xiu's mastery of ultimate mental power, ordinary players who hadn't even cultivated mental power were no match for him. They were easily captured by him.

They were all locked inside the device, ready to be "fireworks" one by one.

For someone else, this extremely inhumane "experiment" would certainly have been met with resistance, but Masaki Keigo did not.

He's a major villain who believes that any sacrifice is worthwhile as long as he ultimately succeeds.

"You start!"

The first target of the experiment was "Saburo Koizumi".

Under Masaki Keigo's manipulation, a strong light shone into the glass case, guiding him to awaken the light of his soul and transform into Ultraman.

This is the ideal situation.

However, in reality, although Saburo Koizumi showed some signs of photonization after being exposed to strong light, his spiritual light quickly dissipated.

Just like Ultraman being trapped by Hipporito Alien.

It quickly turned into a stone statue.

He died instantly without even letting out a scream—no external power could be brought in, and he had no mental power. Apart from the knowledge he had accumulated from the seven dungeons, he was almost no different from an ordinary person. How could he withstand such intense light?
"The power seems too high!" Masaki Keigo said.

Then, he adjusted the power and aimed at the second player, Giles.

This time, he used very little power.

Only one-tenth of the initial power, gradually increasing it, was intended to give the opponent ample opportunity to transform. However, too little light power would simply result in heating.

It's obvious to the naked eye that Giles has flopped!
It was burned to ashes.

Compared to Saburo Koizumi, he didn't even manage to briefly ignite the light of his soul before his physical body perished.

"It still doesn't work. The power is too low to resonate with the Light of the Soul!" Masaki Keigo adjusted the data and continued the experiment.

When the third person arrived, everything was in place.

The other party also had their "spiritual light" awakened.

However, after it turned into light and drifted away, it did not show any signs of "growing larger," but rather drifted around like a wisp of free energy.

It held for a full three minutes.

Finally, due to "exhaustion," it vanished without a trace.

“Your idea is correct, we are very close to success—if we can create or find an Ultraman's body and let the Light of the Soul attach to it, we will definitely be able to transform into Ultraman!” Masaki Keigo said, “However, I need more data to find a stable output power!”

He tried it on the remaining four people.

Although the survival rate has been zero so far, he has not hesitated at all.

Those who came to steal his experimental results were his enemies, and a major villain would not show mercy to his enemies. As for Chu Xiu, needless to say.

"Huh, this fourth person didn't transform?"

He failed four more times in a row, no matter how he adjusted his methods.

There was absolutely no pattern to be found, as if the third success was just an exception, leaving Masaki Keigo completely baffled.

Chu Xiu also frowned.

Even with a "professional template," isn't it true that not everyone can transform into one?
"Help me catch a few more 'guinea pigs,' and I'll figure out the pattern!" Masaki Keigo was getting a little frustrated and turned to Chu Xiu to say.

Chu Xiu shook his head at this.

"It won't work. We're thinking wrong. The nature of mental power might be the human mind, not the experimental data!"

"People's hearts?"

“For example, if you go up there, you’ll most likely turn into light, as long as the power is high enough!” Chu Xiu said. “But if someone’s mind isn’t strong enough, it won’t work. We don’t need to conduct any more experiments. Let’s go to the underground in Kumamoto City and dig out that ‘giant statue’ first!”
