Chapter 324: Collapsed Morality, Flesh Editing Technology

(The previous chapter added some content, hey all godfathers, please flip through with your fingers.)

Once humanity decides to do something at any cost, it is surely extremely terrifying.

And the inhumane modification technology provided by Demon Land has obviously opened a door to a new world for many people.

They seemed to have seen a new continent, as all nations began researching this relatively perfected human modification technology, and were shocked by its bottomless content.

Based on the highly compatible bodies of demons and sea monsters, they transplanted blood disaster glands, beast disaster muscles, and the calcium alloy carapace of the insect disaster onto human bodies.

This is an extremely terrifying means, attempting to control natural disasters—such an act is called a taboo existence, so it's no wonder Demon Land secretly researched it; who knows how many lives were consumed to achieve these results.

But now, in this situation, no one will condemn Demon Land for inhumane reasons anymore, because everyone knows that if humanity remains bound by these so-called morals, it might truly face extinction.

After the blessed ones appeared, modifiers also began to appear across this land at an extremely fast pace, in a way no one had imagined, spreading like a hope‑virus....

Modification, fusion, loss of humanity—after humanity casts aside its ridiculous moral bottom line, it thoroughly begins to let itself go; the tide of the era is like this, and no country can escape.

Of course, this also includes the Empire....

Seeing more and more modified people appearing on the streets, Lan Baoshi only felt a sense of dizziness.

She glanced at Jierte, who still somewhat resembled a person, and felt a pang of fear in her heart.

"Knight Sir, will you also become like that in the future?"

?

Jierte glanced at the Catgirl, then at the hulking figure before him, covered in tubes and with numerous sutured wounds on his skin, and felt utter disdain.

"Why do you think I would become like that?"

"I am not the kind of person who abandons the flesh for power."

Lan Baoshi felt that this world was so fantastical, she even doubted whether she had survived that day when she was beaten half to death.

Could it be that the time I've spent meeting Knight Sir is just a dream?

And just as Lan Baoshi was doubting life, the silly big cat suddenly came running back from afar, still holding a flyer with an unclear meaning.

"Jierte! Lan Baoshi! Look what I found!"

"Colorful flashy light‑band modified cat ears!"

"A modification surgery that makes your cat ears glow! It only costs less than five hundred!"

Jierte:.........

Lan Baoshi:???

The two simultaneously imagined the big cat with its glowing cat ears wandering around, looking like a humanoid ambulance....

The scene was too beautiful; just thinking about it made one unable to hold back laughter, yet the big cat seemed oblivious, continuing to chatter on.

"emmm...."

Lan Baoshi wanted to speak but hesitated, looking at the big cat for a while, then softly said.

"Big Cat Sis, you don't want your soft cat ears to be cut off and sold to others, do you?"

"Ah?"

Lan Baoshi kept trying to persuade the big cat, saying things like 'your ears will be cut off and sold,' 'your kidneys will be secretly removed,' laying it all out for the big cat's face, and hastily threw away the flyer as if discarding trash.

At this moment, Jierte gazed at the black mist constantly rising from the streets, his eyelids twitching nonstop.

Especially now, the many modification clinics popping up all over the streets emit black mist that almost makes him suffocate.

Mixed organs, modified bodies, continually declining moral bottom line, continually eroding humanity.

Each and every one of these constantly washes away Jierte's slight hope for humanity.

"People these days are really crazy....."

From the modification clinics beginning to appear on the streets, one can see that this technology has even been unconditionally relaxed as data; the whole world's style has gradually shifted from a somewhat technological Western vibe to a biocyberpunk vibe.

As a new trend, in less than half a year, modification surgery and receiving blessings have become something most people will do.

Jierte can understand; this is humanity's counterattack when driven to desperation, a forced survival strategy.

But being immersed in such a world is an agonizing ordeal for a just knight; in a world of collapsed ethics, he can no longer see anyone with a golden aura.

He feels like he is an oddity, an oddity of this era; the black mist filling the streets leaves him unsure of whom to deal with.

"sigh....."

"Come on, Little Cat, Big Cat, let's go check out somewhere else."

"The emergence of modified people shows that humanity's moral bottom line has infinitely lowered; at the end of the era, humanity has entrusted its future to this technology in this way."

"Even if there are all kinds of discomfort, you can only be forced to lower your judgment of past sins; now only those who are extraordinarily wicked will draw your attention."

"Under these circumstances of continually lowering the bottom line to research human modification, humanity's strength has once again leapt greatly; modified people fear no cold, their bodies are entirely wrapped in the insect disaster's exoskeleton, and they show no fear even against blood beasts ten times their size."

"Even natural disasters can't comprehend why, in less than half a year, humanity has launched such a fierce counterattack, gained the upper hand once more, and seized back the territories they had painstakingly taken."

"Fact proves that when facing an enemy with no bottom line, the best way is to become just as bottomless; natural disasters are like that."

"Meanwhile, human morale has risen all the way, nearly clearing out all the demons of Demon Land, kicking blood beasts, punching sea monsters; humanity's current frenzy cannot be described in words."

"Technology keeps developing, but always in the wrong direction; the development of spiritual energy should have headed toward the supernatural, yet the technology on this land seems to have rushed headlong down an irreversible path."

"Nowadays, society under order is already utterly corrupt; humanity can only maintain normality because the previous generation's rulers have not yet passed away."

"Such a morbid society will sooner or later face collapse."

"And the emergence of a genius's researched technology only exacerbates this scene."

"The 'Flesh Editing' technology has thus silently come into being...."
