2077: V really knows how awesome he is

Vincent muttered to himself, but Vera had no interest in wasting any more words with him.

Controllable cyberpsychosis is still cyberpsychosis; irritability, anger, impulsiveness, and belligerence permeate every nerve of Vera's body.

"The game is over!"

Vera launched an attack, and Vincent raised his arm to block, but Vera's strength had increased dramatically, easily breaking through his defense and delivering a powerful punch to his face. Blood spurted from Vincent's mouth and nose instantly, and he screamed as he crashed through the floor, falling from the 100th floor to the 77th. Vera pressed her advantage, leaping down as well. Moments later, with another deafening roar, Vincent was sent flying, crashing through the outer wall of the Aragaki Tower and soaring into the air.

V and Adam Hammer immediately turned around and peered down through the French windows.

Vera chased after Vincent, stepping through shattered glass, while Vincent landed on the rooftop of a neighboring building. The two resumed their fierce battle, Vera repeatedly knocking Vincent down, but Vincent always rose to his feet and launched a counterattack.

After three moves, Vincent gradually turned the tide. After five moves, he was able to fight Vera on equal terms. After eight moves, Vincent actually gained the upper hand again. After ten moves, Vera was punched away and crashed into the Arasaka Tower.

"How long has it been, and he's already adapted to Vera's cyberbullying state?" V was utterly shocked.

Adam Hammer: "That's what makes Vincent so terrifying; his learning ability is unmatched."

"Are you kidding me? Even nanoclusters don't evolve that fast!"

"That's true. So Vincent's rapid growth is entirely due to his own talent. The nanotech prosthetics are actually what's holding him back."

V was incredulous: "Is this really something that can be done by human power?"

Adam Hammer glanced at her: "When you single-handedly destroyed Aragaka Tower, everyone else thought the same thing."

V was speechless. As a cheater, she experienced the terror of being a cheater for the first time.

With a loud crash, Vera smashed through the floor and was sent back to the hundredth floor, while Vincent jumped up through the gap.

"Another boring day, it's over." Vincent flicked his mantis knife from his arm, about to deliver the fatal blow, when he suddenly heard a shout.

"Hey!"

Vincent turned to look at V.

V, brimming with fighting spirit: "How about scanning me too?"

Vincent didn't answer; instead, his eyes lit up with blue light, and as the scan was completed, V's personal data was displayed.

Physical prowess 50, reaction time 52, technique 56, composure 58, intelligence 60.

Vincent was slightly surprised: "All attributes are above 50, and one attribute is even 60?"

“See?” V pointed to one of the items and said, “Intelligence is my highest criterion. I’m not stupid at all.”

"If you weren't stupid, you would have gone back to your own world immediately instead of getting involved in my mess."

V paused for a moment, then chuckled: "Okay, I take back what I said earlier. It seems I am indeed quite stupid. Let's see how it goes."

As the words fell, V closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were red.

Vincent looked at the holographic projection; the data on it had been updated.

Physical prowess 100, reaction time 104, technique 112, composure 29, intelligence 120.

"Your physical strength, power, and reflexes have doubled, but your composure has halved. However, why has your intelligence also increased? This is different from Vera's," Vincent asked curiously.

This question really stumped V. After thinking for a moment, she finally shrugged helplessly and said, "It's probably because Vera's intelligence of 3 is a law of nature, which cannot be changed by external forces!"

Vera was furious: "Who the hell has a permanent, constant intelligence of 3? There must be something wrong with the detection software."

Vincent knew his testing software was working properly, and he couldn't help but become somewhat interested in Vera's unique physique.

“Once I’ve defeated you, I’ll turn you into a specimen and study you carefully,” Vincent said.

This kind of trash talk during battle is meant to demoralize, and Vera doesn't believe it at all.

V didn't believe it either, but as the older sister, she was prepared to protect her younger sister anytime, anywhere.

She stood before Vincent and said arrogantly, "If you want to touch her, defeat me first!"

"You're asking for it!" Vincent said coldly.

"Come on, let's see who got beaten to death!"

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously charged forward, exchanging a furious punch!

The battle begins!

V and Vera are evenly matched; if Vincent can defeat Vera, then V is naturally no match for him either.

V was clearly at a disadvantage in this exchange, but instead of fighting Vincent head-on, she cleverly neutralized his force. While retreating, she spun around several times, reducing the impact while increasing the centrifugal force. Just then, Vincent charged at her, and V used the momentum to deliver a spinning kick, sending him flying sideways.

This minor injury was insignificant to Vincent, who quickly charged back. However, V used the same tactic again, deflecting and striking Vincent repeatedly. Just as he was about to deliver another heavy punch, V sidestepped, grabbed his elbow and wrist, and pulled him with a quick tug, causing Vincent to spin with her. Then, she leaped high into the air and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick that slammed into Vincent's face, sending him crashing to the ground with a thunderous crash.

"Awesome!" Vera exclaimed.

V smiled slightly, but the smile froze on her face as soon as it appeared.

Because Vincent jumped back up from the lower floor as if nothing had happened. If there was anything different, it was that his eyes were glowing blue and his lips were blue.

"Are you even human? I'm confident I could have capsized a warship with that kick just now," V couldn't help but ask.

“Your era should have had nano-repair fluid by now, the kind of treatment that’s even more potent than the full-force cure. One injection could bring the dead back to life.” Vincent rubbed the corner of his mouth, and the bruise disappeared. “Since they’re both nanobots, why bother with re-injection? Combining it with the functions of nanoprosthetics would be far more efficient.”

V instantly understood and couldn't help but curse.

Vera, still confused, asked, "What do you mean?"

Vincent generously explained: "The nano-repair fluid is composed of nano clusters, and the nano prosthetic body is also composed of nano clusters. In other words, my entire body is immersed in the nano-gene repair fluid, and I can recover from ordinary injuries in just one second."

Vera finally understood: "Damn, how are we supposed to fight then!"

V frowned: "Koch talked to me about similar ideas, but the body's protective mechanisms are an insurmountable obstacle. Humans always fall into a coma when they suffer a severe injury. Even if the damage to the body is repaired, you should be unconscious by now."

“Look at my eyes.” Vincent pointed to his glowing blue eyes. “I was indeed knocked unconscious by your kick, but just before the body’s protective mechanisms kicked in, I uploaded my consciousness to the nanonet. The reason I can still move and speak is because I’m remotely controlling my body through the network. With the nanoprosthetics installed, this isn’t a difficult thing.”

As he finished speaking, Vincent's blue eyes dimmed. He shook his head and said coldly, "Alright, now I'm 'awake'."

Even V, faced with this situation, had to sincerely exclaim: "Truly terrifying control!"

Vincent remained noncommittal: "I answered your question. Can you answer one of mine?"

"Sure, go ahead and ask."

What was your fighting style just now?

"Xu Ling taught me. She didn't say her name, but you know, it's a great martial arts country."

"Yes, it's a great martial arts nation, and a country that produces many talented people. If General Xu were a few years younger, I would probably have been defeated by her. So..."

"so?"

"That's why I hate Xu Ling the most."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vincent suddenly launched an attack. He instantly appeared behind V, pressed her head down and slammed her into the ground. With a crack, the floor shattered, and V was sent flying to the 96th floor. Lying on the ground, she looked up and was immediately horrified, because Vincent had already stomped down on her.

V gritted her teeth, sprang up her slender waist, and leaped into the air, launching two kicks, only to have them blocked by Vincent with one hand. Taking advantage of V's mid-air, Vincent clenched his right fist and uttered a soft shout: "Try deflecting my attack again!"

With a whoosh, the gorilla's arm exerted full power. V grabbed the joint, but found that she couldn't resist the enormous force at all. In a panic, she hurriedly bent her arm to defend, but was punched and had her arm broken. She screamed and was violently knocked away, crashing repeatedly into the ceiling, and was once again knocked back to the 100th floor.

"V!" Vera exclaimed, trying to step forward, but Vincent jumped out of the hole in the floor and stood between the two of them.

"Using someone's strength against them?" Vincent scoffed. "Just fancy footwork."

After saying that, he turned to Vera and said, "It's your turn."

Vera tensed up, about to get into a fighting stance, but then stopped.

Vincent seemed to sense something and turned to look behind him.

V, covered in blood, stood up unsteadily.

"I...haven't lost yet!"

“What’s the point of persisting now? You should know yourself that you can’t defeat me.” Vincent saw V’s eyes return to their original color: “You can’t even maintain your cybernetic psychosis anymore, how are you going to fight me?”

“I had already given up, and was even prepared to run away with my tail between my legs,” V said, panting. “But what you just did gave me a new idea.”

Vincent was taken aback: "Inspiration? What inspiration?"

V remained silent, but instead grabbed the dislocated arm, twisted it forcefully, and reattached it.

“A severed arm wouldn’t heal this quickly.” Vincent exclaimed in surprise, “So you, like me, also combined the nano-repair fluid and the nano-prosthetic body?”

“Hehe.” V chuckled. “Nanogene repair was developed with my cooperation. I also have a copy of its blueprint in my mind. Sharing it with the nanoprosthetic body is not a difficult task.”

Vincent nodded: "Although it sounds like I'm bragging, I still have to say, you truly live up to your name, V! But to think you can beat me with just this little bit of 'new insight' is too presumptuous."

“Hey, I never said that was my new inspiration.”

Vincent was taken aback: "If it's not this, then what is it?"

"That's of course..."

As V spoke, she straightened up, her eyes glowing blue. Vincent thought she was about to launch a cyberattack and was ready to retaliate, but V didn't release a single puppet. Instead, her eyes flashed blue light continuously, faster and faster, until finally, with a "whoosh," they turned into pure white.

Vincent frowned at first, then suddenly realized: "You've completely synchronized your consciousness with the nanoclusters! How could the human brain possibly be so compatible with AI?!"

“It’s very simple,” V said without any emotion. “I don’t know if you are V, but I’m really not V.”

Chapter 185? ?

V is not actually V; it is the prototype program for bio-based AI.

In her world, V died while carrying out a company mission. She was written into that recently deceased body and thus became V.

Strictly speaking, she is just a super AI with V's memories, emotions, and habits.

The human brain cannot achieve 100% perfect compatibility with AI because of different ways of thinking. The brain's efficiency will first be transcoded into the universal unit of "computing power" before being understood and utilized by AI. Therefore, even the most skilled hacker cannot control AI with ease, because transcoding itself takes time. Even the lowest latency is still latency. This has nothing to do with acquired efforts, but is an innate limitation.

But V is different. She is a super AI. Her brain has long been modified into a wet device under the characteristics of biological AI. Although V’s daily performance is no different from that of ordinary people, her thinking mode has long become the binary way of AI. Being 100% synchronized with AI is an impossible limit for others, but for V, it is the inevitable endpoint.

This was her trump card. She had been trying to reach this level for a long time, but she couldn't find the right method and was just one step away from success.

Faced with immense pressure from Vincent, she finally broke through and successfully achieved complete AI transformation.

But Vincent wasn't so easily swayed; after his initial surprise, he immediately denied it: "Playing tricks!"

After saying that, he suddenly started, leaping forward to throw a punch, but V instantly analyzed all his movement trajectories, calculated all his attack routes, and made the most rational and accurate judgment.

Dodge, then counterattack.

AI has always been this simple and straightforward. It doesn't understand martial arts or know how to fight. It simply calculates countless possibilities and chooses the one that will win.

With a thud, V's fist struck Vincent hard in the stomach, causing the Demon King's expression to change.

But the nanocluster repaired his internal organ damage in just half a second, allowing Vincent to regroup and launch another attack.

He threw punches like the wind, each one powerful and heavy. He brought Vera and V's fighting skills to their fullest potential. But a fierce attack is useless if it doesn't hit anyone. V, in her fully AI-controlled state, seemed to have precognitive abilities. She continued to dodge and counterattack. Vincent didn't land a single punch on her. Instead, V returned the exact same number of punches he threw, precisely seizing every opening in his attack, not a single punch more or less.

Vera and Adam Hammer watched as Vincent launched a fierce attack. Vera weaved through the punches unscathed, while Vincent coughed up blood and staggered back a few steps.

After its narrow victory, V did not pursue, but instead slowly floated up, its two white eyes silently declaring, "I am neither a god nor a demon. I am AI!"

Vera: "..."

Adam Hammer: "..."

Who the hell is the villain?!

Adam Hammer couldn't help but ask, "After she kills Vincent, won't she kill us too?"

Vera's lips twitched: "Who knows? Let's wait and see. If it's not right, we'll run."

Adam Hammer agreed to the proposal. Although the "run away if you're wrong" was just a joke, the fact that even he could joke about it meant that the situation was no longer tense.

Anyone with eyes can see that V is very close to victory. The reason it is only "very close" is for the sake of rigor.

The reason is simple: humans can never surpass AI, because AI was designed to surpass humans.

It's a universally acknowledged fact that AI will eventually replace humans, regardless of the world, which is why so many AI threat theories have emerged. But V has chosen a path of harmonious coexistence between humans and AI. Humans have chosen to relinquish their narrow-mindedness, allowing AI to create a better world through their own efforts. Thus, AI has transformed into V, helping humanity reclaim its future!

The tide rises and falls, fate ends and fate begins; a whale falls, and all things are born.

Life, in this way, is a cycle.

The fully AI-powered V understood many things; her absolute rationality brought her an unprecedented perspective, allowing her to perceive nature and comprehend the universe.

All the laws of the world are clear in her eyes, and all changes are clearly visible, so she will never be confused again.

I will win.

V firmly believes this.

She has never known more clearly how awesome she is than she does now!
