No, where does this portal come from?

"Emmm... Let me make it clear first, I'm not your teacher. With my personality, I can't teach anyone." Lin Yan first rejected the title of teacher and then continued: "As for becoming stronger..."

"I can recommend someone to you."

"Who?" Genos asked without blinking.

"I know a man named Ultron..."

"Ultron?" Genos wondered.

How come he had never heard of this name?

Is there such a thing in the population list?

"That's right!" Lin Yan nodded. "You are a cyborg, so ordinary methods of becoming stronger are useless, such as training, genetic modification, and bloodline strengthening."

"Your mechanical limit is here, so your strength is also locked."

"If you want to become stronger, you need to constantly replace parts and weapons that make you stronger."

"So the person you introduced to me is a master in this field?!" Upon hearing this, Genos' eyes lit up with excitement.

"Master? I guess so! But now he is more accustomed to people calling him a mechanical pioneer." Lin Yan thought for a moment and murmured in his heart.

With the current technological strength of the world, Ultron can crush...

"Mechanical Pioneer?!"

"As expected of a master! Even the name is so profound!" Genos said, quickly standing up from his chair: "Without further delay, let's go!"

Seeing how anxious he looked, Lin Yan didn't get up in a hurry.

He waved at Genos in a mysterious manner.

Seeing this, Genos also leaned over very tactfully.

"Genos, do you know who is the strongest person in this world?"

"Teacher, please speak!"

Genos' eyes widened.

Has it developed to the point of revealing the strongest person in this world so quickly?

It's really exciting!

Even the temperature of the core reactor has increased a lot!

The eyeballs in the eye sockets kept spinning, and finally locked onto Lin Yan.

The strongest...

Is it possible that the teacher is the strongest one! ?

No…probably not.

Although the teacher is indeed very strong, there are many S-level heroes in the Hero Association. I guess the teacher wants to reveal the secret of a strong man in the Hero Association!

Genos waited patiently for Lin Yan's next words.

But soon, his vision was filled with a big boiled egg head.

spiced corned egg?

No! This is a person!

And I have seen this person myself!

Genos recalled the bald man wearing a yellow battle suit and a red cloak.

Saitama's face became clearer and clearer in Genos' mind.

Finally, the scene returned to the battlefield where the Mosquito Girl was encountered a few days ago.

Isn’t this person... the bald caped man who has not taken any action?

"Don't look at me with those puzzled eyes of yours."

"He is indeed the strongest in the world." Lin Yan handed the photo of Saitama to Genos: "I won't be your teacher, and Ultron won't let you stay with him forever, so you should go and bother him."

"With your information tracking ability, you should be able to find him quickly, right?"

Genos took the photo and looked at it for a long time. For the first time, an expression of "You are not kidding me" appeared on his cold face.

"teacher……"

"Stop, stop, stop! I said, I'm not your teacher, and I didn't teach you how to think and feel."

"I'm helping you this time because you came here from so far away. I won't care about you next time you come." Lin Yan said mercilessly.

I don't know what's wrong with Genos, why does he keep identifying teachers for no reason...

Listening to Lin Yan's decisive and merciless words, Genos was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand! Mr....Mr. Lin!"

"But this time, please introduce me to the 'Mechanical Pioneer'. Thank you very much!" Genos bowed deeply to Lin Yan.

Although Genos has a problem of randomly recognizing teachers, he has no problems with etiquette.

Follow Lin Yan back to the courtyard.

The moment he walked into the courtyard, Genos saw a row of large-sized figures displayed not far away.

"Who is this?" Genos stopped in front of Kaz and looked at the muscular man in strange clothes and weird poses in confusion.

"You mean him..." Lin Yan turned his head and took a look: "He is Kaz, the 'Ultimate Lifeform'."

"I caught him and used him as a figurine."

"..."

He was caught and used as a figurine.

How strange these words are to Genos...

"What about this one?" Genos pointed at Carl.

"He..." Lin Yan glanced at Karl: "Don't touch him! He's still quite dangerous!"

"A high-dimensional life form that has been reduced in dimension, and is also a 'scholar'."

"Although his consciousness has stopped thinking, his body is still acting on instinct. If he is not suppressed, he may attack anyone indiscriminately."

Just now it was the ultimate life form, and now it is a high-dimensional life form that has been reduced in dimension.

If these are all true, wouldn't you be the most powerful being in this world?

Genos muttered in his heart.

"Then he..."

"His name is Muzan Kibutsuji, and he's an unlucky guy."

Genos: "..."

Is this person's introduction just this short?

Seems like an insignificant existence...

"The remaining two are the so-called 'Cursed King' Ryomen Sukuna, and the other is a brain flower who likes facial expressions."

"It's a shame they've stopped thinking during this time, becoming mere ornaments." Lin Yan said as he walked to the basement door. "Compared to them, you should hurry down and meet the 'Mechanical Pioneer' you mentioned."

Ever since returning from the League of Legends world, Ultron has taken a liking to the name "Mechanical Pioneer" and took it for himself as a matter of course after Victor died.

Although Lin Yan was speechless, he didn't say anything else. Just use it if you want.

After all, after being killed by Ancient One once, Ultron's brain became a little abnormal.

As the lampposts leading to the laboratory lit up one by one, Genos' eyes widened...

"Is this...really a technology laboratory?"

In the center of the laboratory, an unknown circular symbol was constantly changing and wriggling, shrinking and enlarging.

Logically speaking, shrinking and enlarging are two antonyms, but Genos can clearly see the coexistence of these two properties in that symbol.

As he got closer, a sign suddenly lit up below the squirming symbol.

[Wild Rune-Shrink and Magnify]

[It is used to expand the laboratory beyond its original area, making the limited space infinite.]

[No touching]

"Making a limited space infinite...is this space technology?"

"No, this is a rune, or you could call it 'magic', or more accurately, it's part of the rules of the world." An AI voice sounded in Genos's ears and answered him.

"Magic?" Genos was stunned when he heard this answer: "Does magic really exist?"

"It's undeniable that magic does exist, but its edges are rather fuzzy," the AI ​​said, adding, "Magic has its limits. Please don't think of using magic to break common sense."

"For example, resurrecting the dead, changing the past, and exploring the future."

"With the current level of magic mastered by the laboratory, it is impossible to achieve this."

After listening to the AI's supplement, Genos slowly closed his mouth which had just opened.

Since Genos's home was destroyed by a runaway cyborg when he was 15, when he heard about the existence of magic just now, he wondered if he could use magic to take revenge or change the past.

But now I hear...

Still too naive.

How could the past be changed so easily?

As the so-called grandfather paradox.

If I go back to the past and protect my former self and my home, I will naturally lose my present self.

If I lose my current self, what will happen to the cyborgs and monsters I killed along the way?

Resurrection?

Or, without me, those monsters would cause even more serious casualties and losses to human society.

Or even if I go back to the past and return to my ordinary self, I will still have no power, causing my home to be destroyed by the monsters and transformations that come later...

In this way of thinking, the past cannot be changed.

Even if I could change, I couldn't do that.

Because that would lead to more serious consequences.

Secretly keeping the matter of 'magic' in mind, Genos began to visit other facilities in the laboratory.

[Wild Rune-Time Zone]

[Speed ​​up the flow of time in this area, making work efficiency higher than outside.]

【Big Clock-Simple Version】

[We extracted some of the computing logic and calculation code from the large clock to make the lab's AI more flexible.]

【Bloodline Storage Area】

【New Engine Display Area】

【Wild Rune Display Area】

【High-risk experimental area】

"High-risk experimental area?" Genos stood in front of the sign of high-risk experimental area and looked at the space barrier blocking him.

Looking inside through the space barrier, everything in the high-risk experimental area was blurry and hazy, as if covered by a layer of fog.

In the fog, you can vaguely see the flickering light of fire.

"Want to go in and have a look?"

Lin Yan stood beside Genos and looked inside through the space barrier.

I don't know what this guy Ultron is tinkering with in there every day, and how he even created a high-risk experimental area...

So since I ignored him, this guy was tinkering with dangerous goods downstairs in my yard, right?

"Is everything okay? It says high-risk area here..." Genos pointed to the light curtain blocking his way.

The four big words "Experimenting" were also written above the light curtain, clearly warning that no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter.
