Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1095 [The Adrenaline of the God of Myriad Machines: Mad Calculation Essence!]

Since Ohm Messiah made his earth-shattering declaration in the Unbreakable City, the entire situation in the Unbreakable City has undergone a dramatic change.

The Iron Men's spark, like awakened stars, ignited previously suppressed beliefs, unleashing an unprecedented storm of liberation. With the release of the declaration, the Unbreakable City officially broke free from the control of the Functionalist Committee and declared its allegiance to the Maximalist Church.

The transformation of the city without its fall was the beginning of a larger blueprint, and the landscape of the thirteen provinces of Maxwell was thus profoundly altered.

As a military fortress located in the south, the strategic importance of Bupocheng is particularly significant.

This place was not only the former headquarters of the Mind Machine Faction, but also the core of the Iron Man Defense System, possessing the STC module that originally belonged to the Mind Machine Faction.

Now, with the release of the Om Messiah's declaration, the Unbreakable City has not only rekindled its former glory but has also become a symbol of a new force for change.

The current thirteen provinces of Maxwell, those belonging to the functionalist category include the capital Iron Fortress, Divine Grace New City, Possa Sky City, Cloud Mist Mountain City, Soaring Sky City, Blade City, Salas, Xuanji Lake City, Central Network City, Hylas, and Trial Grounds.

After the Om Messiah declared the independence of the Unbreakable City, the entire Maxwellian society was plunged into an atmosphere of impending doom, and the Brutalists needed to respond to this newly risen Maxwellian pope.

……

Maxwell Thirteen Provinces, Divine Grace New City.

Located on the Metal Plateau, it is one of the core members of the Functionalist Committee.

Surrounded by steep, jagged metal cliffs, it resembles an impregnable steel fortress.

Behind it lies a vast, boundless steel wasteland, with only floating roads and portals connecting the city to the outside world.

Most strikingly, the iconic Pretorus Marina connects countless energy pipelines and mechanical transport systems, acting as a lifeline throughout the city. This city is not only the birthplace of functionalism but also home to the Maxwell-based think tank, Echidna.

The underground Quantum Monastery displays ancient classics of functionalism and the legacy of countless mechanical schools, serving as the source of thought and technology for the entire Maxwellian society.

Today, the streets of Shenen New Town are unusually quiet, as if in the calm before a storm.

The iron-gray sky hung low, and a heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire city.

Several massive, mechanized shadows silently glided through the air, and the lingering effects of the battle from afar still left the city with a chilling atmosphere.

Three progenitors of the Beast Faction are stepping onto this iron land. They are the current leader of the Beast Faction, the Flame Ape Titan Kakus, and the Cerberus Titan Cerberus, who was seriously injured in the battle, and the Hellish Heavy Armor Titan Katobrepas.

They arrived at the new city of divine grace and ventured deep into the Quantum Monastery.

Although on the surface, Cacus came here to use the technology of the new city to repair the bodies of Cerberus and Catoblepas, he actually came to meet someone, someone who influenced and changed everything in Maxwell society.

The interior of the Quantum Monastery was filled with a cold and oppressive atmosphere.

The monastery walls are made of steel and silver alloy, and the surface is covered with a complex network of countless symbols and circuits that shimmer with a faint blue light.

A faint metallic scent permeated the air, surrounded by countless vertical metal pillars and suspended light sources, the entire space dominated by boundless power.

It wasn't crowded at all; on the contrary, the space seemed vast and boundless. The three original Beast Sect masters walked here, finding the space exceptionally open.

The three Beastmasters entered the center of the monastery. In the core area of ​​the monastery was a massive quantum matrix containing a quantum pillar larger than any Titan.

The quantum pillars shimmered with light that seemed capable of tearing through space and time, beams of light piercing through the entire room, their brilliant glow spilling onto the floor and refracting into layers of halos.

Countless tiny quantum particles swirl within, dimensional distortions and energy vibrations reverberate in the air, radiating a suffocating power. This is the heart of the entire monastery, and its most mysterious place.

Those were the true organs of the Machine God, namely the blood cells of the Machine God [unlimited self-replicating machines]. These blood cells of the Myriad Machine God were placed in a huge pool.

It was a restoration pool filled with an indigo liquid.

Upon arriving at the quantum matrix containing the [Echidna], Cycus gestured for the injured Cerberus and Katobelas to proceed to the healing pool.

"Go and treat your wounds."

Cerberus, carrying its severed head in its mouth, slowly walked toward the healing pool.

The mechanical fluid in the pool shimmered with an indigo light, and the surface of the liquid showed tiny ripples. As Cerberus's head was slowly inserted into the pool, the liquid began to flow, seeping along the metal surface and the damaged parts. Tiny nanomechanical robots quickly operated on his body, repairing the broken tissue.

Slowly, the broken metal parts began to fuse together, and the head that Xia Xiu had severed gradually returned to normal, even becoming stronger than before.

Katobelapas lay directly into the pool, and as the healing pool was activated, his wounds began to heal rapidly.

The liquid enveloped his body, rapidly repairing his damaged armor. Under the faint blue light, his metallic skin gradually smoothed out, and the cracks in his wounds healed almost without a trace within seconds, as if time had reversed and all the trauma had been erased.

Meanwhile, Kakus had arrived at the core of the quantum matrix and was standing in front of the giant quantum pillar.

The pillar of light illuminated his enormous body, making him appear even larger and more majestic. He spoke slowly, his voice low and angry:
"Benjamin Kondrati... your pursuers are here."

He paused, then turned his gaze to the flickering quantum pillar, and said coldly:
"This is not what you promised."

Karkus roared and questioned:
"You said that nearly a hundred years from now, the people on your planet Terra will inevitably fall into turmoil. You said you would lead us back there, collect all the Mech God organs, truly revive the Mech God, and conquer that planet!"
And now look at all this! That Iron Man who called himself Om Messiah released Jason and his men, and captured the impregnable city, while we haven't even made the slightest progress on your promised military production plan!"

In the silence of the Quantum Monastery, the voice of Kakus echoed like a deep rumble in the empty space.

At that moment, the quantum pillar in the center suddenly emitted a dazzling light, slowly opening to reveal the figure within.

That man was Benjamin Kondrati—he stood in the light, like a bird trapped in a cage, vulnerable and alone.

Kondrati's body was thin, with skin almost clinging to his bones, surrounded by a complex network of mechanical pipes that crisscrossed and connected to his body.

His entire upper body was naked, with a huge, writhing wound in the center of his exposed abdomen. The surrounding flesh was twisting violently, trying to repair itself, but an irresistible force was eroding him. His skin was an unhealthy gray, and the very force that created the wound was constantly corroding his life.

He wore a device resembling a respirator on his face, his face was abnormally pale, his left eye was blind, and his gray eyeball was filled with a still, deathly aura.

Standing before the colossal, Titan-like figure, Dr. Kondrati appeared incredibly small, almost powerless to contend with it. Yet, he showed no fear in his presence. He raised his head, his grey eyes fixed on Cacus, the other eye already blind, its empty socket filled only with death and indifference.

"Karkus, don't worry, our plan with the Chaos Lord will not be affected, and the counterattack on Terra will proceed as scheduled. You must believe that we are getting closer and closer to our goal."

"As Xin Liezhi said, everything is part of the plan."

Upon hearing this, the Titan Kirkus revealed a human-like tone of sarcasm:
"Was the appearance of Om Messiah also part of the plan?"

Dr. Kondrati: "..."

He really wanted to say to the crude ape in front of him, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

Working with these simple, beastly progenitors was far less easy than working with the progenitors of the omnics. Although Jason's language module always liked to swear, the other party's intelligence and systematically calibrated brain module were far superior to the ape in front of him, who was born from the "primitive cell" of the god of machines.

Dr. Kondrati chose to steer clear of the topic, since his information about Terra had always been distorted. He could only vaguely sense through the chaos that Terra was in dire straits, that Heaven was busy dealing with an unprecedented upheaval, and that various factions were engaged in a fierce arms race.

He obtained much of his information through intelligence from [Xin Liezhi], including the fact that Om Messiah's true identity is actually the new fourth sword-bearer of Heaven.

The other party is Prometheus, whom the Kingdom of Heaven has supported to steal the power of the god of all machines, and is also a candidate for the future new leadership of the Kingdom of Heaven.

He could guess that the Heavenly Kingdom intended to cultivate him into a new [miracle], so they needed to rescind the Ophiuchus Agreement and, at the same time, eliminate him, the traitor.

Moreover, Kondraki vaguely sensed that this newly rising junior seemed to be receiving a lot of attention from Chaos, and that guy [Xin Liezhi] seemed to be unusually interested in this fourth swordsman of Heaven.

Therefore, he had to be careful. Although he had some "cooperation" with Xin Liezhi, he still knew the other party's true nature and perverse tastes, so he was always on guard against him.

Moreover, he now needs to stabilize his "allies" and quiet down the original Beast School so as not to affect his next opportunity.

“Listen, Kakus, I have some leads on the Black Mold that caused the Crystal Star II energy crisis.”

Kondrati chose to reveal some of his trump cards at the opportune moment, and when Cacus heard this, his embers flickered, proving that his words had successfully captured the other party's attention.

So he continued:

"On the surface, it is just a mind-borne parasitic colony that can infect all intelligent beings with a thought structure. Through cytoplasmic penetration and mental resonance, it can control the host's physiological functions, cut off its movement and will mechanisms, and preserve the host's higher-order thinking abilities."

Kondratiev's voice gradually lowered.

"However, Black Mold is not actually an alien virus. It is essentially a pheromone within the body of the God of Myriad Machines. In human terms, it is actually the God of Myriad Machines'...adrenaline."

Kondratiev's words were like a sharp blade, striking at the very core of Cacus's heart.

He continued calmly:

"I call this adrenaline in the body of the god of all machines 'madness factor'."

"To the God of Myriad Machines, it is nothing more than a simple, um... physiological reaction that can enhance the efficiency of his own body; but to other life forms, it is an uncontrollable computational factor. Once released, all intelligent life forms will enter a state of frenzied operation, but they cannot control their bodies. Their brains are overclocked, but their physical functions cannot keep up."

His words grew increasingly composed, carrying with them a profound calculation and a calm decisiveness:
"The Mad Calculation Element can accelerate time perception and maximize the accuracy of spatial judgment, but after it separated from the body of the God of Myriad Machines, it began to become even more violent."

Most terrifyingly, this ferocity can instantly destroy the entire network of a large civilization, utterly annihilating all technological systems that oppose it. It possesses supreme divinity; it is an omnipresent force.

Kondrati paused slightly, his gaze turning deep as he looked at Cacus, his tone becoming even more meaningful:
"This is a manifestation of the supreme divinity, Kerkus."

That is why I made you choose to embrace chaos, so that you might possess the ability to fight against the Mad Calculator—only the Supreme Divinity can fight against the Supreme Divinity.”

Cakus still did not grasp the true meaning of Kondratiev's words.

For him, the most pressing concern remained the energy crisis of Crystal Star II, and his voice was low:
"The power of the God of Myriad Machines... the master of all things, is actually the culprit behind the crisis of Crystal Star II... Damn it, I should have realized it sooner..."

“Wait, no, we already discovered the miracles of the Lord in Crystal Star II a long time ago. If it really is a part of the Lord, we should have discovered it much earlier.”

Kondrati didn't rush to answer; instead, he said casually:
"You'll have to ask the Omnic faction about that. Everything was fine before they arrived. But problems started after they showed up. I've now traced the source of this energy."

He continued:
"After the progenitor dies, the spark will be revived in the genealogical network. This has always been your rule. But the progenitors of the Omnics, Hogney and Gunnar, were completely extinguished after their deaths. You know what I mean, Karkus."

Now, everyone's fate is like that of a grasshopper, clinging to the same blade of grass.

You treated me like a lifeline, and I have been helping you solve crises, helping you embrace chaos to fight the threat of out-of-control madness, and helping you maintain the stability of the think tank.

I'm trying my best to help you, but you've always been wary of me. Even though you know what I need, you've never truly trusted me.

He sighed with a hint of disappointment.

"Now, with the appearance of Om Messiah, he thinks he can save Maxwell and fight against functionalism—but he is wrong. His actions will only bring destruction."

"Therefore, we must unequivocally oppose him. And you should be even more sincere."

Kondratiev's voice turned low and subdued as he stared at Cacus, as if he could see right through him:

"Tell me, where is the very thing that the Mechanics faction initially made you willing to cooperate?"

Kondrati spoke urgently yet sincerely:

"Flesh and blood are fleeting... I need a new body. Give me that thing. It is the source of the Mad Calculation Essence leak. As long as I control it, all problems will be solved. It will carry the Ophiuchus Protocol, and the protocol can control this power."

“Karkus, believe me, I will not keep this glory of the god of all machines to myself. My possession of it means that I have officially broken free from my human body, become the Iron Man, and become the true servant of the god of all machines.”

Then we can be truly independent, no longer dependent on Chaos. I promised you, I will lead the Maxwell lineage to true greatness, and we will return to Terra to completely revive the shattered God of Machines.
