The Monster User Doesn't Want to Become the Ultimate Lifeform

With the development of technology, both prosthetic limbs that are identical to natural limbs and chips in the brain will become inevitable.

However, even so, there is one thing that cannot be replaced, and that is the human brain that controls thoughts.

Even if it is said to be uploading consciousness like in the movies, in fact, this technology itself only creates an advanced AI with the same memory, knowledge and personality as the original body.

Unless humans can evolve into spiritual bodies like the Kyrieloids, brain aging will be the key to human lifespan. However, Zijera's essence makes everything completely different.

Of course, as humans conduct in-depth research on Chijera, this will probably be discovered soon, but the prerequisite is that humans can hold on until that time.

Chapter 275: Super Ancient People (Part 2)

"Because I haven't found the right one." After touching Dina's head, a complicated look flashed across Luke's face.

"No suitable one, you mean?"

"Those places aren't Earth."

That’s right, just as Lin Jun thought, for an extremely wealthy super ancient civilization 30 million years ago, it was not difficult for even those who fled like Lu Ke to find a planet where they could survive.

But no matter what, that is not their home. They have only one home, and that is the Earth.

Whenever people have lived in a place for a while, they can't help but start talking about life on Earth in the past.

At first it was just a complaint, but as time went by, the homesickness became stronger and stronger the longer I was away.

So in the end, except for a few people who could not bear the homesickness and abandoned everything to return to Earth, the rest of the people set out again to find a new land to replace the Earth.

Unfortunately, the more they searched, the harder it was to find a planet to replace the Earth, and the harder they searched, the more eager they became to find a new planet.

This vicious cycle continued until now, thirty million years later.

"But if that's the case, you should have visited many planets and interacted with many people. But why do most people in the universe know nothing about the Dark Ruler?"

"Will you spread your shameful past everywhere?"

""

That's true.

Being driven out of one's own homeland is a serious black history for any race, so it is natural not to mention it if possible.

Not to mention that 30 million years have passed, even if any information is left, it will probably be regarded as a rumor by other aliens.

"One last question." Looking at Lu Ke and his daughter who were about to leave, Lin Zhun stopped them.

"If, I mean if, we eliminate Zijera, do you have any other way to survive? A way to survive even without Zijera's essence."

A hint of surprise flashed in Luke's eyes: "Oh? Are you planning to interfere with human choices?"

"It's not interference, because we are human beings, and you answer my questions first."

"Unfortunately, there is no such method. Once the main root of the Zijella withers or is destroyed, the essence extracted from it and other flowers will lose their effectiveness and die at the same time."

Lu Ke shook his head. Now they are inseparable from Qijiela. Once Qijiela dies or disappears, they will lose their lives because Qijiela's essence loses its effectiveness.

"Then if I have other options, such as transforming your bodies, would you be willing?"

"There are other ways." Lin Zhun's words made Lu Ke's face look a little surprised, but after thinking silently for two seconds, he shook his head.

"Forget it. Although I appreciate your kindness, you should deal with Zijera first."

"The human heart is deeper than the roots of Zigela."

Chapter 276 Euthanasia (Part 1)

"Do you know what it feels like to be alive?"

When the ancient father and daughter left the base, in exchange for his previous answer, Lu Ke asked Lin Zhun a question.

This isn't some philosophical question, like the meaning of life. It strictly means what it means to be alive.

From 30 million years ago to now, even Dina, who was born after leaving the earth, has lived through years that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

But as it shows, Dina is still the same innocent little girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

The body stopped developing due to the transformation, and even the mind did not grow at all over the long years because of the immortality brought by the Zijera Essence.

It is true that they will not die from aging, but can a life that remains forever at a certain moment and loses its ability to grow really be considered alive?

It is difficult for Lin Zhun to give a correct answer to this question. Whether he says yes or no, he feels something is wrong.

Similarly, Luke and Dina left in a hurry without giving an answer to his idea of ​​using the power of Leonicus to transform himself so that he could continue to live after Zijera was destroyed.

When the sun was almost setting and the activity of the Zijella flowers weakened and stopped releasing pollen, the people who were originally addicted to the pollen slowly woke up.

That being said, this isn't entirely a good thing.

After waking up from that blissful dream, the emptiness and frustration brought by reality make everyone miss that beautiful dream so much.

Even though Zijera's pollen itself does not cause physical addiction, the gap between the wonderful dream and the cruel reality still causes people to have extremely serious psychological withdrawal reactions.

"It's embarrassing to say, but if I could, I really want to inhale Zigela's pollen again, even just once."

"Yeah, I know Zijera is not a good person, but I can't help it."

In the operations room, everyone including Director Sawai sat around the table, looking at the huge Zijella flower displayed on the screen, all with complicated expressions.

It's not their fault.

Even though he knew in advance what Qijiela's abilities were and was mentally prepared, and even more so that Lu Yi was not a good person, this kind of thing could not be solved by just being mentally prepared.

It’s like when you get a zero on an exam, you’re already prepared to be beaten with a bamboo stick, but that doesn’t mean you won’t scream in pain when the bamboo stick lands on your butt.

Human beings will instinctively pursue things that make them happy and joyful and avoid things that cause them pain. Compared with that blissful dream, the various trivial matters in reality or the major events of birth, old age, sickness, death, and separation from loved ones are really too painful.

Although the TPC base resumed normal operations as soon as people woke up, the desire for Zigela emanating from people's spirits was not shocking.

"Maybe Zijera is the Earth's gift to mankind." Lina, who was sitting on the side, said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Chapter 277 Euthanasia (Part 2)

Unlike previous monsters, this time they need to fight not only the monster itself, but also the thousands of people attracted by its pollen.

The meeting ended without any results.

Before Zijella appeared, TPC did make a lot of contingency plans, but now it seems that these plans have not played much of a role - this is also an expected result.

At least if they want to take action against Qi Jiela, they must first calm down the restless people within TPC.

It was visible to the naked eye that everyone in the base had a hint of irritation and anxiety on their faces.

It was a desire for Qijera deep in his heart, but his reason told him that it was not a good thing, so he could only force himself to restrain his patience.

Nori was sitting in front of the computer with his head down. Karin in PDI was persuading him, just like Nori had persuaded her in the past, that they could create a beautiful world together.

But despite this, a lot of struggle still flashed across Ye Rui's face. He knew that what the other party said was right, but it was just hard to hold back!

Even the TPC personnel who have been working with monsters and aliens for many years and have strong wills are like this, not to mention ordinary people with relatively weak willpower.

The night sky of Zijella has long been closed, but the streets are now full of people pretending to be crazy because they are craving for Zijella pollen.

They would collapse on the ground as if they had lost their souls, or fight like buffaloes in estrus for a Zijella plant that no longer released pollen.

On the other side of the earth, when daytime came, people also fell into the same situation of being dominated by beautiful dreams as before.

Some people may be aware of the harm caused by Zijella, but compared with the overall number of people who have begun to crazily pursue Zijella pollen, there are really too few.

It is no exaggeration to say that demons are running rampant these days.

“But if Zijella’s main body truly blooms, then even this last bit of perseverance will probably be gone.”

In other words, the tragedy of the ancient times will be staged again in the present day.

Walking on the chaotic streets, Lin Jun and Dagu felt very complicated when they saw the crowds fighting for a Zijela flower that had only one leaf left, and even if they couldn't get it, they would still try their best to take a few puffs.

"—Thirty million years have passed, and humanity has not made any progress."

This is what Lu Ke once said to both of them.

It's hard to say what Luke's mood was when he said this after seeing humans addicted to the happiness brought by Zijella pollen as they had been for 30 million years.

But Lin Jun felt that he could understand it a little bit.

Chapter 278: Challenging the False Beauty (Part 1)

——Do you want to stop it?

But how can we stop it? Or can we really stop this kind of thing that is happening throughout the city and even in countless places?

——Then let me ask you again, do you want to stop it?

The answer is of course yes, but this is not the place where we need to take action.

Looking at the chaos, crying, and people fighting around him, Lin Zhun's heart calmed down a little. He didn't know why, but he just calmed down inexplicably.

"Dagu, I remember you once asked me when we were talking about Lightning Man, what should we do if humans go astray one day, right?"

"Maybe now is the time for us to make a choice."

There is indeed some truth in letting go of the desire to help others and respecting the fate of others, but neither Lin Jun nor Dagu can ignore what is happening before their eyes.

Perhaps the giants like Tiga who left their bodies behind 30 million years ago also had the idea of ​​preventing future generations from falling into such a sad situation.

Then now is the time to respond.

The two walked into an empty shadow, and as the divine light stick and the Evolution Truster emitted brilliant light, two tall figures flew into the sky and came to the huge Zijera flower that broke through the soil.

The huge flower bud was still tightly closed, and dozens of thick vines extended in all directions.

Long before Lin Jun and Da Gu arrived, many people who longed for its pollen had come here, praying to the huge flower to return to their beautiful dreams.

"No, Tiga, Nexus! Don't hurt Zigera!"

Seeing the two giants of light entering, the people realized something and cried out, begging them not to hurt Zigela.

——This thing must be eradicated!

Seeing the people around them praying, cursing, and even calling their friends to come here through tools like mobile phones, Lin Zhun and Dagu couldn't help but clench their fists, and at the same time, they became more determined to eliminate Qi Jiela.

And this thing must be destroyed in front of everyone to completely cut off people’s thoughts!

Without hesitation, one of them activated Core Ultimate and the other activated Ultra High Heat Blast, and then rushed to Zijera.

Boo!

The intense heat caused smoke to come out of Qijiela's body immediately, and this seemed to hurt it. The vines growing from its body lashed towards the two people present like huge whips.

Having said that, Lin Jun, who had been prepared, swung the Nexus weapon on his wrist and cut it into two pieces, and Da Gu also used Tiga to cut a dozen vines into two.

And as if realizing that if it continued like this, it would be roasted first, the originally closed bud of Qijiela suddenly opened, and the pistil inside it, like a bird's beak, spit out a large amount of yellow pollen at once.

But the effect it plays is minimal.

For Dagu, this thing has no effect except slightly blocking his vision.

As for Lin Zhunma, the next second after his face was covered with pollen, a faint dark red aura ignited from his body, and he felt as if he was more energetic and excited.

"Accurate~"

"!"

Chapter 279: Challenging False Beauty (Part 2)

However, when Qi Jiela swung his whip, Lin Jun and Dagu, who wanted to block him, were thrown out directly.

——I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but its power seems to have become much stronger.

"The human heart is deeper than the roots of Zigela."

Inexplicably, what Lu Ke had said appeared in their minds.

As more and more people rushed here, the voices of support for Qijiela became louder and louder.

Such a scene is more chilling than ironic.

boom! boom!

At this moment, two rays of light, one blue and one red, hit Qijiela's body.

Although it was blocked by Qijiela, the destructive power brought by the extremely high and low temperatures still caused the thickest vine on its body to be directly shattered.

Not only that, the Victory Swallow EX-J, which came at high speed from the horizon, launched a fire bombardment, continuously releasing laser cannons and laser cannons, blasting and igniting the vines emerging from the ground.

No, it’s not just the Victory Team. More TPC fighters can be seen following behind and attacking Zijera.

"TPC! Why is TPC attacking Zijera too?!"

Seeing the Victory Swallow EX-J being continuously attacked, the crowd around and those watching the scene through the live broadcast on the Internet complained.
