this infinite world

Although Tom's intention to revive Elisa and his previous words seemed to have a "protesting too much" quality, since Maria, as a family member, did not show any objection, everyone tacitly accepted Tom's approach... Anyway, no matter how far Tom actually went, the meat would still be in the pot, wouldn't it?
"Tier, what are you planning to redeem?"

After Tom decided on his exchange, Chu Hao looked around and found that whether it was the newly resurrected J and Ares, or the less experienced Ochi and Stry, they were all still thinking and seemed indecisive. So he could only turn his attention to the taciturn Tier.

Looking at Tier, Chu Hao pondered for a moment before asking directly, "Tier, do you have any ideas about enhancement? Tell me."

Tier is a robot and doesn't experience hesitation or other emotional reactions, so when Chu Hao asked, he answered directly and bluntly: "Enhancement is a form of evolution... So, can I become a true life form through 'evolution'?"

"Real life?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, not expecting a robot to ask such a question. They looked curiously at the Terminator T800, which seemed to have developed its own will, and listened as it continued, "When my body is damaged, what flows out is not blood like a human's, but the internal parts."

"This is a human being. Humans get hurt, bleed, and die. They are very different from me, but I want to become a real living being."

His words sounded incoherent and weren't the kind of passionate or exciting lines he'd uttered; at first glance, they seemed difficult to understand. But these seemingly plain and simple words left everyone present speechless, unsure what to say. They felt a strange and profound emotion emanating from his words…

Strangely enough, even now, no one on the Arctic team knows how Tier accidentally obtained the "story character invitation bracelet" that he used to get Nian Xikong into the Arctic team, nor does anyone know how this T800 robot was recognized by the God and thus entered the God's space... Could it be that this T800, after being modified by Chu Hao, also awakened itself like the Governor and thus has the potential to become a "protagonist"?

Chu Hao, however, thought about it more deeply. He remembered that when he removed the restrictions on Tier, he activated its learning function. After only experiencing two worlds, this T800 had learned to such an extent that it even began to think about philosophical questions. Such growth ability was truly beyond the realm of common sense.

However, despite all that, since Chu Hao was the one who orchestrated Tier's modification, and after returning to the Main God Space, he also conducted extensive adjustments and behavioral restrictions on it, Chu Hao still trusted the robot quite a bit. After all, sometimes cold, emotionless machines are more trustworthy than human beings with feelings... So now Chu Hao has contacted the Main God with his eyes closed, searching for the most suitable exchange for this T800 robot that "wants to become a life form".

"...If you are really determined to 'become a real living being,' then this bloodline should be the most suitable for you."

A moment later, Chu Hao opened his eyes and reported the corresponding exchange he had obtained through his captain's authority: "Exchange for a Space Knight. It's a life form enhanced from a robot. Initially, it's still a robot, but after being enhanced to the end, it can indeed become a life form, or even a real human."

“The price is not a problem, because according to the explanation from the main god, the cosmic knight is equipped with the ‘light=matter system’, which can convert light into matter and antimatter. The matter is used to form armor and weapons, while the antimatter is stored as ammunition. At the S-class level, it has a ‘super evolution’ mode, which can release multiple antimatter cannons.”

"However, the drawback is that there is a time limit. Each battle cannot last more than twenty minutes. Once it exceeds this time, various problems will occur, such as overload or self-annihilation."

After reading the explanation from the main god, Chu Hao summarized: "This is a bloodline with equally obvious positive and negative effects. It is divided into three levels. Initially, all of them require A-level side quests. Only when you reach the final S-level enhancement can you transform from a robot into a living being..."

"Tekkaman!" No sooner had Chu Hao finished speaking than Zhang Heng, who had just finished enhancing his Saint Seiya bloodline and was descending from mid-air in his Sagittarius Gold Cloth, rushed forward with shining eyes before he could even steady himself: "Tekkaman! D-BOY! This is so cool! This is it!"

"...Nobody asked you."

Disdainfully pushing away Zhang Heng's baby face that was leaning close to him, Chu Hao looked at Tier seriously and asked, "That's all I have to say about the exchange of Space Knights... Tier, I'll confirm with you one last time, are you sure you want to become a living being?"

Tier maintained his aloof demeanor, answering calmly without a trace of emotion: "I want to become human."

"...Your premise is wrong."

Although he hadn't originally planned to get involved, Yang Yun couldn't help but chime in as the conversation between the two went further and further off track: "Wait a minute, if it really is a mechanical life form that wants to become human, the 'Hidden Warrior' bloodline from Transformers is obviously more suitable."

He rubbed his temples helplessly: "Although it is true that if it is enhanced to the highest level, it can indeed transform from a robot into a human, the original Tekkaman Blade was clearly a bio-armor technology, and it was humans who were transforming from beginning to end."

"Moreover, becoming human doesn't actually require that much effort."

With a casual flick of Yang Yun's finger, Tier's human disguise crumbled like a sandcastle, revealing the cold, metallic skeleton of the T800 beneath. But before the Arctic team could utter a word, an even more horrifying scene unfolded before their eyes—illuminating the emerald green light, Tier's mechanical body began to writhe eerily, its metal surface softening and reforming like melted wax. Muscle fibers spread and grew like vines between the skeletons, and skin tissue covered its entire body at a visible speed…

In a mere five seconds, what stood there was no longer a mechanical creation, but an incredibly robust white man. No one could imagine that this vibrant body had been a cold, lifeless Terminator robot just moments before.

"Impressive! Even a mental scan couldn't detect the slightest flaw..."

Hearing Oqi's hushed astonishment, Chu Hao, who had witnessed Yang Yun's ability to bring the dead back to life before, cast a questioning glance his way. After all, changing a robot's species into a human was still somewhat beyond his current worldview: "Is this... creating life? Some kind of matter reorganization? Or interference from a higher-dimensional being?"

"Well, it's not impossible, but it's not this time."

Hearing Chu Hao's increasingly outrageous guesses, Yang Yun couldn't help but chuckle and replied, "If I had to say, it would be a kind of blood curse..."

"After all, the sense of accomplishment comes from doing something like 'officially becoming human' yourself." (End of Chapter)
