Chapter 150: Great Dao Self-Overcoming

He slowly opened the box lid, his voice filled with excitement, "The 26 T2 Gaia Memories are finally complete."

"Wait, why is it in there!!!" he shouted.

Blinding light shot out from the gap revealed on the box's exterior. The Conglomerate X researcher stared dumbfounded.

Besides the 26 memories inside the box, there was also something he dared not even think of.

The T2-version Devil Memory was just sitting there, blatantly obvious.

That memory seemed to possess life; he could even feel the familiar power circulating inside it.

With the box lid open, he could barely hold it steady—why would the Devil Memory be here?

Has someone betrayed the organization, actually trying to use this opportunity to smuggle this thing out?

"Don't worry, it's an order from above." Yuansai Wenyin said, looking at the dazed researcher.

"I see, I understand." He reluctantly came to his senses, sealed the box, and placed a remote-controlled bomb inside.

Yuansai Wenyin nodded, handing the box containing the memories to the mercenaries in charge of this transport, saying:

"I'd rather destroy what's inside than let anyone else get it."

Immediately, a pure-black helicopter slowly descended, after locking the box containing the memories, it flew up into the sky.

A few days ago, at the Kelaixisi Fortress central control room.

"What does this mean?"

Yuansai Wenyin looked at the 27 memories before him and asked.

"Nothing much, just added one more." Jiang Xia said.

"Although the Eden Garden's range is currently expanding, its expansion speed is still too slow,

we should seize this good opportunity."

"You mean the Great Dao Self-Overcoming lot, this isn't a test, is it?" Yuansai Wenyin asked.

"No, not just a test; I have other purposes." Jiang Xia shook his head and said,

"In fact, their light weapons aren't bad; at least they can withstand the power of 26 Gaia Memories.

It's just that their goals don't quite match mine; we just need to tweak the target a bit." Jiang Xia said nonchalantly,

and pointed to the light-weapon blueprint he had just obtained from Earth's memory,

"As long as you think about it a little, you'll know it's a weapon capable of instantly turning Fengdu into a hell of the dead,

and conversely, it could also bring heaven down to Fengdu."

"You're using them to expand the Eden Garden's range to all of Fengdu?" Yuansai Wenyin said in disbelief.

"Impossible—if we wanted to expand the Eden Garden to all of Fengdu, the energy required would be far beyond what 26 T2 units can provide."

"I'm not trying to expand the Eden Garden," Jiang Xia shook his head.

"Strictly speaking, I'm doing the same thing as the Great Dao Self-Overcoming lot—turning humans into monsters."

"Except one turns living people into dead people, while the other spreads my power outward, using the Devil Memory."

Hearing Jiang Xia's plan, Yuansai Wenyin sighed, "What a crazy plan."

"But how can you guarantee it will definitely succeed?"

"Before, I wasn't sure, but after linking to the Earth Library, I studied their data thoroughly.

Naturally, once I knew their goal, this idea was born."

Moreover, the device the Great Dao Self-Overcoming lot devised to combine memory power is actually incomplete, lacking a crucial central component."

Jiang Xia set the blueprint upright and unfolded it.

Yuansai Wenyin, who has long studied machinery and memories, instantly judged that relying solely on this machine, even if they did nothing, the Great Dao Self-Overcoming lot's goal would not be achieved.

Because this device lacks an energy dispatch module, just like a human without a brain—at most a lump of living flesh that can't even carry a soul.

"Philip?" Yuansai Wenyin muttered to herself.

As expected of a mother, she not only saw the device's flaw but also instantly thought of a substitute.

That is to use Philip; strictly speaking, Philip has already shed human form, being merely a cluster of living, thinking data.

"They intend to use Philip's brain to complete this device; they've probably been lurking in Fengdu for quite a while, even knowing Philip's function." Yuansai Wenyin said.

"Exactly, their goal is clear and bold, because the Great Dao Self-Overcoming lot is a memory ultra-compatible entity, possessing the highest compatibility known as the Eternal King of Memory."

"He can fully unleash the special ability of the Eternal Memory, so when he activates Eternal, W's combat power is already as good as dead." Jiang Xia said.

"But this is just a surface move; you should have already guessed the other function of the Devil Memory."

Upon hearing Jiang Xia's words, Yuansai Wenyin gave him a deep look and slowly spoke:

"The Devil Memory will not only infect all the power erupted from the 26 memories,

but will also act as a terminal, transferring all data to the base.

The base will then, in place of Philip, compute the correct answer and help them transmit the energy into every person's body in Fengdu."

"As expected of a teacher." Having perfectly grasped the essence of my plan, Jiang Xia clapped.

"You're really terrifying, Jiang Xia." Yuansai Wenyin looked at her disciple before her, as if meeting him for the first time.

"This is the benefit of knowing information: the more you know, the more you can use; that's why I pursue the Earth Library."

"......"

Fengdu, a morning neither clear nor warm, two foreign mercenaries faced the most important mission of their lives.

As the black blades spun up, they couldn't help but look at the box tied inside the cockpit.

Inside was something more important than their lives.

They piloted the helicopter while cautiously observing, relieved to see nothing strange nearby, hoping for no attack.

Shortly after, he noticed something off—although it was overcast, the ambient light was noticeably dimmer, even the helicopter's windshield flickered with faint shadows.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A sound suddenly came from afar, continuously echoing in the high altitude of several hundred meters.

Gradually, it began to surround them.

He patiently listened for a few seconds; it was the sound of rapidly rotating fan blades, but it seemed slightly different from that of a helicopter.

To him, as a mercenary, he was very familiar with this kind of sound.

Suddenly, he realized something, and cold sweat poured down his formerly deep visage.

He figured it out: it was the sound of an airship, and not an ordinary airship, but a wartime transport aircraft used to carry supplies.

Looking upward, a huge black shadow completely enveloped the helicopter flying in the sky; compared to the airship, the helicopter they were riding in seemed as tiny as a toy.

"Speed up and get out of here!" he shouted involuntarily.

But with a boom, the helicopter that had been preparing to accelerate suddenly jolted, as if some heavy object had plummeted from above, striking the helicopter and causing it to stagger.

The helicopter that had been flying smoothly immediately began to sway in the air.

Next, a figure climbed onto it; the steel door seemed to offer no resistance, as a screeching sound rang out and sparks flew.

A sharp blade directly sliced open a huge gap in the door.

He glanced to the side and finally saw clearly the appearance of the person who had invaded the aircraft:

A black-and-red coat, a sturdy body, pitch-black eyes, a stern and fierce appearance.

"Undead Army, Da Dao Ke Ji!" he spat out with effort.

But that was also his last words, for a cold blade pierced his heart, and blood gushed out.

"Yo."

The blood‑smeared Da Dao Ke Ji greeted the others on the aircraft as if nothing had happened.
