Dude, my main account is Chaos God?

"Pfft—"

The heavy, airtight door slid open slowly.

A huge, empty laboratory appeared before everyone's eyes.

A dense stream of data was rapidly moving across the circular screen, but most of it indicated an offline status, right in the center of the laboratory.

There was a huge glass column filled with a pale green nutrient solution.

Inside was an enormous brain, two or three times larger than that of a normal human, filled with deep grooves and crevices.

Like a plum!

Dr. Noah!

That genius who became a chosen one of the gods at the age of seven, established the City of Night, and ultimately turned himself into this grotesque figure.

Or rather... a madman?

Upon seeing Ye Ren and the others enter, the fluid around his brain remained calm.

Oh, it won't rise either.

After all, it doesn't have hands.

The fully automated mechanical equipment controlled by Dr. Noah around us was disconnected just now, and Messiah now has control over most of the equipment.

"you……"

The synthesized voice came through a loudspeaker, eerily calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Noah wanted to ask Ye Ren what he really wanted.

He couldn't guess.

Is someone connected to a god just for the sake of this city?

impossible.

However, his perception was limited, and Noah's inner world was far from as calm as it appeared.

Ye Ren examined the brain with great interest:

"You don't seem flustered at all, Doctor."

Noah paused for a moment before realizing that Ye Ren was speaking in a foreign language.

For a moment, I was speechless.

"What exactly do you want?"

Noah finally asked the question.

After all, there was no room for resistance in this situation.

What can I do with just a brain left?

Man is the butcher, I am the brains.

Whether it's steamed or boiled, it's entirely up to the other party to decide.

skr~

Ye Ren tilted his head: "I want human civilization to return to normal, or even go further and achieve unification."

Dr. Noah remained silent.

This aligns with his goal, but the path is different.

Noah: "Flesh and blood are weak, machines ascend."

"Collective mechanical evolution is the only way forward."

Ye Ren chuckled.

This guy...

They've gone completely mad.

"So?" Ye Ren shrugged. "How do you plan to achieve mechanical ascension? With this fish tank?"

"No."

Noah's tone suddenly became high-pitched:

"Damn it—"

[Mind Virus]

"Zzzzzzz—!!"

In an instant, all the screens in the laboratory turned a glaring bright red.

An invisible wave, targeting the level of consciousness, erupted instantly from this brain and spread throughout the city via the network!

Did they really think they were out of ammunition and supplies and unable to resist?

Do not!

There's one more card to play!

Although the permissions for the entire Night City have been changed.

But the swarm network still exists, and Noah is still connected to it!

and so……

A desperate gamble, let's use the mind virus!

He wants to unify the consciousness of everyone in the city, forcibly digitize everyone's soul, and complete the mechanical swarm's ascension!

"Huh?" Throne Bro's expression changed. "That feels disgusting!"

Messiah's eyes flashed red rapidly: "Intercepting..."

"The human body is too weak!"

Noah raised his voice:

"Come on! Become part of the collective consciousness!"

Join us!

A terrifying stream of consciousness, like a sharp drill, pierced fiercely into Ye Ren's brain!

He wanted to invade Ye Ren's consciousness?

Want to assimilate Ye Ren?

This arrangement for Ye Ren to live in Bengbu is like an old woman crawling into bed—it made the old man laugh.

Ye Ren made no defensive moves and even thoughtfully opened his mind.

"Come."

Noah clearly hadn't expected Ye Ren to be so cooperative, and his consciousness rushed into Ye Ren's mental world without any hindrance.

then……

He saw it.

He saw something indescribable.

No, it was a wisp of aura that was unintentionally emitted by an entity, an entrance to the abyss that connects to the vast subspace.

That is the truth of this world!

It is an absolute existence that transcends all logic, all algorithms, and all dimensions.

"What...what is this...?"

Noah's voice suddenly became distorted and shrill.

An indescribable fear spread.

Infinite... Chaos... Incomprehensible...

"What is that! What!"

The soul is screaming silently.

in reality.

The brain, which was submerged in nutrient solution, suddenly began to convulse violently.

It's like a live shrimp being thrown into boiling oil.

The nutrient solution boiled instantly, producing a large number of bubbles.

Countless tubes connected to the brain began to snap, sparks flying everywhere.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Noah let out a piercing scream; his worldview crumbled.

"You're a bug?!"

"How can such a thing exist in this world—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The brain stopped twitching and floated in the murky liquid like a piece of dead flesh.

Logical breakdown.

Self-destruction.

Can humans understand gods?

Not to mention the god above the god of gods?

Dr. Noah is very close to brain death.

"That's it?"

King Bro scratched his head. "What's going on?"

Ye Ren looked at the brain that was about to fail and sighed.

In fact, Noah wasn't a bad person at heart.

He simply wanted to protect the flame of human civilization, but in this desperate world, he chose the most obsessive and insane path.

If it weren't for the technologies he preserved to build Night City, humanity might have been wiped out long ago.

"never mind."

Ye Ren stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

【rollback】

Words become law.

That brain, which was on the verge of complete death, was given a new lease on life.

Chaotic consciousness was forcibly sorted out, and a broken soul was rebuilt.

"Wake up, Doctor."

Ye Ren tapped the glass jar.

Noah's consciousness returned, filled with deep confusion and fear:

"You... what exactly are you?"

Actually, the moment I asked that question...

He already knew the answer.

[Deities]

"For the sake of you preserving the spark of human technology."

Ye Ren said softly:

I'm giving you two choices.

"First, I will help you rebuild your physical body so you can become a normal person again."

"Secondly, you still insist on choosing a mechanical body."

Noah remained silent for a long time.

"I……"

"I choose to reshape my physical body."

He used to think that flesh and blood were too weak, and that mechanical ascension was the right path.

But that's clearly not the case.

Even the God of all machines is far from the end.

This incomprehensible being before us is at least made of flesh and blood. Why doesn't that prove that there is still a higher limit to the physical body?

"It doesn't really matter."

Ye Ren nodded, revealing a kind smile:

"First of all, welcome to the Normal Humans Management Bureau."

"However, let me make it clear from the outset that you must abide by the laws of the Personnel Management Bureau from now on."

Ye Ren tapped the water vat again:

"I'll transform you into a robot vacuum and mop."

Noah: "..."

Noah: "I understand."

It's still a big red, at least.
