Chapter 673: Man-Made God
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Er floated over to him in a sky-blue浴衣, asking with confusion.
An Qingyu set the experimental report on the desk and spoke with a grave expression:
"Exactly as Yuzuri Kurotetsu suspected, Yuzuri Takishiro was taken by the Oracle Envoys the moment he was born and became Test Subject 0. For the first three years, since Yuzuri Takishiro's body hadn't fully developed, the experiments focused primarily on observation and blood sample collection. After he turned four, they began injecting him with various drugs...
The composition of these drugs is extremely complex, and several components don't appear to be artificially refined conventional chemicals. They must have come from somewhere else, carrying terrifying potential. They developed new artificial hormones while simultaneously injecting them into Yuzuri Takishiro. After each injection, there was a high probability of severe side effects.
Whenever such side effects appeared, they would inject another type of drug that透支潜能—similar to Night Watch's Ghost God Inducer but relatively milder. In trace amounts, it wouldn't kill outright..."
"They're pushing him to the brink of death with artificial hormones, then pulling him back with潜能透支 drugs?" Jiang Er's brow furrowed tightly. "He's only a thirteen-year-old child... What exactly are they trying to do?"
"Potential stimulation, bloodline purification, gene recombination." An Qingyu looked at the experimental report before him and spoke slowly:
"They... want to create a god."
"Create a god?!"
"Using scientific methods to help humans break through physiological limits, approaching infinity close to godhood, even stepping into the divine realm—that's the ultimate purpose of this thirteen-year experiment." An Qingyu spoke calmly.
"But entering the divine realm requires laws. How could science grant him laws?" Jiang Er asked.
"I don't know..." An Qingyu contemplated for a moment. "Perhaps this has something to do with the so-called 'King's Blood'?"
"Did they succeed?"
"Based on current experimental results, no."
"There's another question." Jiang Er paused. "This country itself worships gods, right? Is man-made divinity actually permitted by the gods?"
An Qingyu slowly stood up and looked at the chessboard on the low table beside him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"The gods' envoys are secretly creating gods... It seems the secrets here are far more interesting than I imagined."
...
【Pure Land】.
On the other side.
At the edge of the silver disc, the cabin door slowly opened. The white-robed Oracle Envoy flew in from the clouds outside the 【Pure Land】, gently waved his hand, and the cabin door slammed shut, completely isolating the fierce winds at high altitude.
The white-robed Oracle Envoy who had just returned from outside walked to the electronic display screen and spoke calmly:
"'Haduki,' I'm back."
"Please proceed with identity verification."
A faint light from the corner of the display screen照射到 the white-robed Oracle Envoy's left eye electronic eye. As the white ring in his eye slightly contracted, the identity verification completed and the door before the Oracle Envoy gradually opened. He stepped inside.
The interior space of 【Pure Land】 was vast, roughly equivalent to the area of more than a dozen large Gymnasiums. However, 70% of it consisted of storage equipment and hardware facilities essential for the operation of 【Pure Land】, intelligently controlled by "Haduki." The remaining space was divided into prison areas, experimental zones, living quarters, training areas, and so on...
The white-robed Oracle Envoy walked down the long corridor to his own territory, standing before the floor-to-ceiling window to overlook the city below, his eyes slightly narrowing.
"'Haduki.'"
"I'm here."
"Where did Number 2 and the others go?"
"Oracle Envoys Number 2, 4, and 6 have gone to Osaka to suppress the Magatsu Blade masters. Number 4 Oracle Envoy lost soul link contact 6 hours ago, and the auto-detonation device was activated; Number 2 Oracle Envoy underwent spiritual transformation and abandoned the original modified body, making it impossible to detect vital signs—fate unknown; Number 6 Oracle Envoy is severely injured, current whereabouts unknown."
"One dead, one severely injured, and one of unknown fate..." The white-robed Oracle Envoy's brow furrowed slightly. "Has Number 4's replication started?"
"Number 4 Oracle Envoy replication program has been initiated. Physical reconstruction is estimated to complete in 95 hours and 32 minutes, followed by memory data transmission and backup restoration..."
The white-robed Oracle Envoy nodded slightly. He gazed at the gradually darkening sky outside the window. For some reason, his mind was uneasy.
"Three Oracle Envoys lost in one go... What exactly happened in Osaka?"
He murmured to himself.
...
Osaka.
Amusement Park.
BOOM——!!
Amidst waves of screams, the roller coaster roared across the tracks, carving several winding arcs through the air before plunging down from the heights at an astonishing speed!
Yuzuri Nana and Uncle Kyosuke sat in the front row, arms spread wide, excitedly shouting as they felt the刺激 of weightlessness and the落差. Their voices echoed through the sky.
Below the roller coaster, Lin Qiye leaned against the railing, watching this father-daughter pair having a blast. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Ice cream."
Amemiya Haruki walked out from the shop behind him, both hands holding four ice creams, handing one to Lin Qiye.
"Thanks." Lin Qiye smiled.
Amemiya Haruki looked up at the screaming roller coaster, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Looking at it this way, it's actually quite nice."
"Quite harmonious indeed." Lin Qiye held the ice cream, was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
Amemiya Haruki stood beside him, a flicker of depression crossing his eyes.
"This family's fate has been too rough."
"Yeah..." Lin Qiye苦笑ed. "I hope that one day, they can truly find happiness."
As the two were chatting, the roller coaster slowly pulled to a stop. Uncle Kyosuke took Yuzuri Nana's hand and stepped off the ride, walking toward Lin Qiye and the others with a smile.
"You even got us ice cream? How thoughtful of you, Amemiya." Uncle Kyosuke took two ice creams and handed one to Yuzuri Nana.
"Thank you, Brother Haruki."
Yuzuri Nana licked her ice cream, her eyes crinkling into crescents.
"It's getting late. We should head back." Uncle Kyosuke looked up at the gradually darkening sky. Several thick dark clouds had begun to block the sunlight. "It wouldn't rain, would it..."
"Time to go already?" Yuzuri Nana seemed somewhat reluctant. She shook Uncle Kyosuke's hand and said pitifully, "Daddy, I still want to ride the drop tower. Come with me one more time! After this one, we'll go home!"
Uncle Kyosuke glanced at the sky and decisively nodded. "Alright, one last ride on the drop tower!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Yuzuri Nana grabbed Uncle Kyosuke's wrist and quickly ran toward the towering drop tower in the distance.
