Chapter 561: Chapter 433 Human-Machine Integration?_1

"Using a curse to eradicate the Supreme Demon? What you’re talking about might not be impossible to achieve, it’s just that we can’t do it." In the laboratory, Eileena pushed up the glasses she was wearing, which were the anti-nearsightedness glasses given to her by Ahn Ke...

"I see, maybe in the future I will let you have a practice. The Supreme Demon in that world poses no threat now." Zheng Yichen waved his hand. For that world, the conflict between the human race and alien demons was what lay ahead.

Originally, because of the Demon Flower, the population of the human race in that world was decimated to one-tenth, and the number of alien demons was nearly a hundred times that of the humans. When the era of the Supreme Demon turned a page, Yi Nan took the opportunity to divine the future. Although he couldn’t ascertain the exact numbers, the disparity between the populations of the human race and the alien demons was that great...

The death of those tens of thousands of alien demons was insignificant to the rest of their kind.

The residual power of the Supreme Demon still influenced the alien demons, but no Supreme Demon would bring a greater impact to the alien demons for the next few years.

The more of their past life the reincarnated Supreme Demons retained, the easier they were to be tracked by the Compass. A few years later, Hong Zhao and the others would definitely reach new heights, and those Supreme Demons planning mischief should be prepared to be killed.

The reincarnated Supreme Demons are currently still in the womb, probably weighing less than three kilos. They’ll have to wait a few years before they can stir up any trouble, assuming they don’t turn from being ’they’ into ’them’ as a result of abandoning so many Supreme Demon traits in the reincarnation process.

"How do you feel about using these new devices?"

"They’re simply fantastic. I am genuinely worried I’ll become spoiled by them," Eileena said with a light laugh. "The way these devices handle various materials is just too good. After using them, I would feel uncomfortable going back to working as before."

"I’ll get you a Universal Toolbox in the future. This time I’ve collected quite a lot of Supreme Demon related materials, just see to processing them. Also, what kind of weapon do you want? A magic staff or a Magic Wand?"

Eileena couldn’t help but touch her forehead: "Do you have some misunderstanding about witches? We can be considered ’mages’, but the use of equipment is not limited to things like Magic Wands."

"Hmm?" Zheng Yichen pictured a witch with a pointy hat in his mind, which seemed to include a Magic Wand too? No, that’s not right, he said, "So, it’s a broom?"

"...Do Katrina and I also need to prepare a pointy hat?" The youthful-looking Forest Witch touched her hair: "A Magic Wand is fine, a Magic Wand as well, or even a pair of gloves."

"Fixed weapons don’t mean much to us, and it’s not like in the games where certain classes have to use particular types of weapons."

"Hmm?" Zheng Yichen’s eyes widened slightly as if he caught some important piece of information: "Then take your time to think about what equipment you need. As for the function, it can be taken care of depending on the materials added. You can make requests for equipment at Dusk, but creating something out of nothing is beyond their capabilities."

Like with the three little ones’ swords—the resistance to curses and psychic defense: by default, besides these characteristics, there would be additional damage, but that would surely affect the effectiveness of those two resistances.

Removing the additional damage would greatly enhance the strength of those two resistances, and the weapon could then sever attacks that were curses or psychic in nature. There was also further potential for enhancement in the future, and Zheng Yichen planned to buy some death-related items from other Dusk mercenaries.

That material was specifically aimed at the undead.

"I’ll think about it carefully," Eileena nodded, pulling out a file, "While you were away, I’ve studied some things you might be interested in."

"Let me take a look."

Zheng Yichen took the file and began to look it over, revealing a surprised expression. Necromancy, huh? She had some understanding but wasn’t very skilled at it. However, now that he had gained the power of soul control, it would actually be quite simple for him to achieve mastery of necromancy.

As he examined the research, he said, "Hm, I’ve recently acquired a new power, related to the soul; you might be interested as well... What the fuck?"

Upon seeing the latter part of the research in the file, Zheng Yichen’s eyes went wide: "Is this considered a human-machine integration?"

Linking Necromancy with specialized artificial intelligence—not the kind with a brain port, but linking them using necromancy. Normal artificial intelligence lacks a soul, and even if one tried, it would have to be done using some form of signal transmission.

But this method was much simpler. Among the Wise Dragon series of artificial intelligence, the first ten were created by human souls. Even after becoming specialized artificial intelligence, they retained some of their soul traits. In Eileena’s research, there was a possibility of combining it with necromancy.

"How does it work in practice?"

Eileena shook her head gently: "It’s still in the testing phase. It’s not easy to use it in combat, at most during certain research. And this type of Necromancy tends to cause some mental issues, similar to normal Necromancy. Without proper protection, it’s very easy for the soul summoned by necromancy to take over the body."

"The Wise Dragon No. 9 that I am testing with is more powerful than normal souls, and can perform even more precise operations. The mental influence exerted by Evil Spirits on those who use necromantic skill is brute force hacking, while this special artificial intelligence soul can accomplish meticulous and silent intrusion..."

Zheng Yichen looked at a cube floating not far away, which was indeed the main body of Wise Dragon No. 9.

Noticing Zheng Yichen’s gaze, Eileena said, "This is also information provided by Wise Dragon No. 9. She believes that this kind of research is very useful, but she doesn’t want to risk bringing dangers to her own world. What I am researching now is how to avoid this situation."

Zheng Yichen thought of his own artificial intelligence; could Lilith, the AI mounted on his motorcycle, achieve this level?

Although the thought of fusing physically with an AI that always appeared as a female was somewhat embarrassing, the idea of having a little operation was quite intriguing. The auxiliary effects of artificial intelligence in combat are significantly beneficial.

Especially that superior computing power, when Zheng Yichen fought, he judged many of the attacks based on experience and reaction.

In his mind, there was no appearance of the massive amount of data information that a computer might generate in an instant when judging certain attacks. Maybe it was there, but his brain filtered it directly out.

He didn’t need it.

For example, environmental factors like wind direction and resistance; after seeing an enemy’s attack, knowing how to dodge or deflect it was enough. Those extra, extremely detailed pieces of information were unnecessary for him.

"Let’s talk about mine. Do you have any stored souls here?"

Eileena stood up, took a semi-transparent jar out of a cabinet, placed it in front of Zheng Yichen, and gestured for him to begin his performance.

The soul in the jar was grabbed by Zheng Yichen’s hand, and under Eileena’s astonished watch, the soul was affected and arranged in a particular way by soul power. Within this influence, the soul didn’t undergo too much change or distortion; it retained its original state but was marked with a special tag.

"Give me a moment." She took out some materials and tried using necromantic skill. The skill could take effect, but faced with a layer of hindrance from Zheng Yichen, she tried but could not circumvent this barrier, let alone remove it.

Zheng Yichen’s soul power possessed extreme repulsion. Ordinary contact with the barrier was touchable, but any attempt to hack through it would result in being bounced back. Then, Zheng Yichen demonstrated other effects, and under his influence, the soul rapidly grew stronger.

This enhancement did not consume much of Zheng Yichen’s power; it simply made the connection between the two tighter. Eileena thought for a moment and asked, "This connection is a bit peculiar; it must have some impact on you, right?"

Zheng Yichen nodded, "One-sided enhancement has no significant impact, at most, if the enhanced soul dies often, I would feel a bit fatigued."

This was his feeling after dominating numerous alien demon souls on the battlefield; without enjoying the feedback from those dominated souls, the sensation was tiredness but would not share damage.

"That’s not right; with such a connection, there should be mutual destruction... Oh, I see." Eileena held the enhanced soul and carefully examined it for a while before nodding in understanding, "It must be due to the repulsion inherent in your soul.

That kind of repelling force would deflect anything harmful or threatening to your soul. However, if the connection with the dominated soul becomes even deeper, this repulsive force might not be as effective."

"Hm? That’s not bad either." Upon hearing Eileena’s words, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but start thinking about the ’you are what you eat’ principle again. He had only encountered that special jellyfish once and hadn’t seen it since—if he could find the source of that jellyfish...

"Also, do you really understand so little about the characteristics of the power within yourself?" Seeing Zheng Yichen a bit distracted, Eileena couldn’t help but ask. In her opinion, Zheng Yichen should have discovered this long ago.

Furthermore, the soul dominated by Zheng Yichen had improved dramatically, strengthening more than tenfold from its initial weakness. If it weren’t for reaching the soul’s enhancement limit, it would have exploded from continuous strengthening; consequently, the soul would continue to grow in power.

This type of enhancement gave Eileena a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of some incidents that occurred after Wise Dragon No. 9 was installed in their lab. Ordinary computers, once weakly connected with Wise Dragon No. 9, exhibited explosive performance improvements, and that was without even overclocking.

The connection between this soul and Zheng Yichen was very much like that relationship.

Zheng Yichen said with a smile, "I acquired some abilities too quickly; before I could fully understand the old ones, new ones arrived. Then I took about a month off only to be pulled away for work. I managed to ponder over the active powers I gained, but those passive ones I just left untouched."

Alina was at a loss for words; how enviable that was.
