Chapter 1164: Deception Gives Birth to Self‑Awareness?! The Final Experimental Result!

Broadly speaking—

Demon is the evil side.

Angel is the righteous side.

When Su Yang obtained the crest, the power it displayed was only Demon.

That is the default attribute.

Angel's appearance originates from the mysterious letter‑writer.

He let Su Yang learn that this crest has another side.

And he instructed him not to use the innate talent.

Because the innate talent is actually a gift from the Divine.

Each use, in effect, provides Faith to the Divine.

In plain terms, it can also be called Incense Offering.

One only needs to clear three consecutive Death Games without employing the innate talent.

Then, according to New Era rules, one can completely cut the shackles on one's body.

Thereby gaining the status of Free Person.

Arriving at the Divine Ascension higher rank with a brand‑new stance, ultimately reaching the Divine Throne.

Then…

The mysterious person's reminder seems more like urging Su Yang to stand on Angel's side.

That is, the so‑called righteous side.

The other side regards an entire Taboo, including its founder Yao Ri,

and even the massive Organization forces behind Yao Ri.

Also, the side she represents is all seen as evil.

That is, the conservative faction as Su Yang understands it.

The mysterious person stands with the reformist camp, casting a wide net, trying to win over more players.

On the surface, this is a contest for talent.

In essence, however, it is a silent clash between the two factions.

And Su Yang happens to be the target of everyone's arrows.

In this clash, no matter how he chooses,

he will offend one of the camps.

The grudges between the two factions are like the ice‑and‑fire duality during Gene Coding.

Neither side yields to the other.

Yet Deception miraculously appears out of nowhere.

Forcefully fusing the two into one.

Even with a hint of coercion.

And it also drags along an undeniable overbearingness.

So the question arises…

Which side does Deception belong to?

"But why does the innate talent have self‑awareness?" Su Yang's Brow tightly furrowed.

Before pondering this question, he needs to figure out the reason.

Admittedly, the innate talent is provided to players as a tool.

One only needs to meet certain prerequisites to wield the corresponding marvelous ability.

Almost everyone assumes this is part of the body.

Because this is an ability granted by the Divine.

It is rooted deep in the soul.

Except for Rare Talent, no innate talent can be permanently transferred.

Used as a tool, it suddenly burst forth with self‑awareness one day.

It's like an AI tool that one day, without any command, suddenly acts autonomously.

This does not make people feel excited or surprised.

The first reaction is always, without fail, fear.

Because players would never know what intention lies behind this consciousness.

Similarly, when this speculation appeared in Su Yang's Brain, it was extremely shocking.

"If it truly has been born with consciousness, then what does it actually want to do?" Su Yang's Brow furrowed even tighter.

For now, at least the feedback is positive.

But no one knows what will happen in the future.

If a sudden large wave comes out of the blue, Su Yang has no countermeasure to protect himself.

He can only obediently comply.

After all, no one knows the horror of Deception better than he does.

It can be called Words Follow Law; as soon as a thought moves, it can achieve an unattainable endpoint for others.

"Every action has a benefit point!"

"Deception's fusion of the two must be hinting at something."

As a Unique Talent, Su Yang knows that this world cannot possibly have Substitute Meal.

But that does not mean it cannot be transferred.

Starting from the current situation, one can infer that Deception's autonomous action intends to give Su Yang better gains.

Whether it's the Angel and Demon fusion unleashing stronger power and then defeating Gao Zhiyi.

Or this Gene Coding gave him two completely different Specialization Directions.

Considering everything, he believes that at the current stage Deception has not shown Rebellion.

"Could it be that it intends to play a 'Cultivation' game?" Su Yang rubbed his chin.

Having thought this far, Su Yang plans to first push Deception to the Sixth Tier.

It is the Intermediate Omni Recovery Injection that makes the Innate Talent undergo a radical Transform.

By then perhaps an answer can be found within.

Just as Su Yang was pondering, Wen Ran emerged from a Passage.

"Where did you go?" Zhuang Wu asked.

"I went to a place without scent," Wen Ran glanced at Su Yang unobtrusively, the meaning implicit.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Wang Defa saw her cradling a book.

"This is the manual I found in the Blue Whale Company Laboratory," Wen Ran said.

Su Yang smoothly took it, lowered his gaze and examined it closely.

The cover boldly bore several large characters—

"Experimental Results Report"!

"This is…" Su Yang felt a stir in his heart and slowly opened it.

It recorded the experimental procedure.

The general principle is to analyze and extract the blood of a tentacled Monster.

Obtaining its special substance for injection.

The early stages kept failing; the team summarized the causes and completed optimizations.

The number of adults who perished in the experiment reached as many as 560!

"Too cruel! How can these brutes not consider themselves as experimental subjects?" Lin Yang said indignantly.

"If the researchers are dead, how can research continue?" Wang Defa retorted.

"The logic is the logic, but aren't Lab Mice a better solution?" Lin Yang said.

"Lab Mice haven't offended anyone," Qin Weiyang said.

Continuing to read, Su Yang noticed that after many experiments, they finally found the right path.

They shifted from the original injection to electric shock.

This method can better integrate the mysterious substance with the human body.

It can also reduce side effects to the minimum.

"Is this experiment fresh off the press? Has it not been tested on Monsters before?" Yue Lan asked.

Su Yang nodded slightly, "According to Lian Shiqi, this experiment took the longest time and consumed the most funds."

"Just as we entered the underground space, they announced success."

"There is still no chance for large‑scale deployment."

At this, everyone couldn't help but be puzzled.

"By the way, can this thing really transform Innate Talent?"

Wang Defa took a box out of his pocket.

Su Yang entered the eight‑digit code from the experimental report.

"Click!"

The box opened, revealing its interior.

Inside, the box was neatly arranged like a Bee Hive with twenty compartments.

Each compartment held a Finger‑sized Glass Tube.

The tubes contained a swirling transparent liquid.

Only about 2 milliliters.

Su Yang lifted one of them and examined it carefully.

He found the liquid seemed to be composed of countless microorganisms.

Upon close inspection, one could even see motile signs at the edges.

"What do you think?" Su Yang looked at Yue Lan.

As his gaze shifted, Yue Lan saw through the essence of this result.

"It resembles some multi‑legged insect, with extremely vigorous vitality and a survival rate of 99.9%."

"It remains intact even at room temperature."

"Undoubtedly genuine."

A flash of insight flickered in Su Yang's eyes as he said softly,

"Then let's see whether this thing can truly push our Innate Talent to new heights."
