Infinity: Kill your way through the movie world.

Wu Heng cast his gaze into the distance, as if piercing through layers of space, and saw some of the truths he had sensed in that fleeting glimpse in the abyss.

"For the absolute security of the guild network, and also to verify some ideas, I have another plan," he said slowly.

"What plan?"

"It's not just enslavement, but assimilation and absorption."

Wu Heng's tone carried the calmness of a researcher: "Using the puppet evil spirit that I have complete control over, I will use alchemy and scientific methods to refine and absorb the characteristics of this evil spirit that are born from the network and control the flow of information, and integrate them into the matrix of the puppet evil spirit itself."

David scratched his head. He didn't understand what evil spirits had to do with science. As a demon hunter, he only used modern cars and cell phones. But the boss in front of him seemed to have his own methods.

He shrugged: "You're the boss, you call the shots."

Wu Heng ignored him and turned to look at the puppet evil spirit.

He planned to use a puppet evil spirit as a vessel, whose essence far surpassed that of ordinary evil spirits, with a stable structure and a higher energy level.

At that time, many methods used by angels or demons against spirits will be greatly reduced in effectiveness, or even completely ineffective.

Only then will the core guild network under its control be truly foolproof.

Amidst David's shocked gaze, which gasped in astonishment, Wu Heng mentally communicated with the puppet evil spirit.

The enormous evil puppet slowly lowered its center of gravity, and the patterns at its core lit up at an unprecedented frequency.

Wu Heng then walked to a workbench that had been prepared in advance. On it were many precision components that shimmered with metallic luster, crystal structures wrapped with wires, and beakers containing solutions of different colors. This was the result of combining modern scientific theory with alchemy.

Then the operation began:

First, energy synchronization was performed. Under Wu Heng's control, the puppet evil spirit's tentacles extended again, this time like precision mechanical arms, operating on the workbench.

Guided by the evil power of the puppet spirit itself, the blue data streams were slowly directed into a specially made alchemy vessel composed of mithril and silicon lattices.

His hands then moved rapidly through the air, his fingertips leaving afterimages as he outlined complex energy circuits such as Ω, Ψ, and ∫, which combined basic physics symbols, computer logic gates, and traditional alchemical incantations.

These circuits, like source code, are fed one by one into the data stream of the alchemy vessel, where they are programmed with incantations.

Carrier Reconstruction: At the same time, one of the main tentacles of the puppet evil spirit automatically detached from the main body and hovered above the transmutation vessel.

Wu Heng sprinkled some alchemically treated nanomaterials, which shimmered with eerie radiation, into a dish and commanded, "Decompose and reconstruct them, using silicon as the skeleton, evil power as the veins, and information properties as the core!"

Instantly, the three tentacles, originally shaped by their unique characteristics, began to execute commands on their own, reconstructing the carrier around the selected carrier tentacle.

The moment the structure was completed, the alchemy vessel suddenly sealed, and a burst of intense white light and high-speed data flow light and shadow erupted from within.

The puppet evil spirit's main body provides immense evil power as the furnace fire, while Wu Heng precisely controls the fusion process with his powerful mental strength, forcibly stripping the network evil spirit's 'information' characteristics and its original chaotic consciousness, just like 'formatting' and 'reinstalling the system' of software.

Then, its core algorithm and permissions were written into the underlying structure of that floating tentacle.

The entire process lasted two hours. The energy within the stone chamber fluctuated violently, sometimes emanating from the waves of data and sometimes echoing with the clanging of metal being reconstructed.

When the clock struck 15:25 p.m., all the light and sound suddenly ceased.

The alchemy vessel opened, and the suspended tentacle slowly retracted, reconnecting to the puppet's main body.

But upon closer inspection, the shape of this tentacle has undergone subtle changes.

Its surface is no longer entirely dark metal, but is covered with a layer of energy skin that is faintly visible, composed of flowing green code and gray-white snowflake ripples like those on an old-fashioned television when there is no signal!

The inside of the tentacles seemed to contain countless tiny points of light, flowing along a specific logical path.

The tentacle moved nimbly, then, as if receiving a command, slowly retracted back into the puppet spirit's body and hid itself.

"Did it work, Boss?" David asked tentatively from the doorway of the stone chamber.

"Success."

Wu Heng sensed the changes in the puppet evil spirit and nodded: "'Internet addiction's' consciousness has been completely formatted, and its ego and emotions have been completely erased."

Its core capabilities, such as network perception, information manipulation, and data traversal, have been extracted and formed into a pure module similar to advanced artificial intelligence, which is then stored in that specialized tentacle.

Now, it has become a built-in network manager for the puppet evil spirit, and there is no longer any risk of it escaping control.

David breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. The evil bomb that had been buried for forty years and could have exploded at any moment had finally been defused.

Wu Heng continued to sense the changes. The puppet evil spirit's main consciousness still needed to focus on combat and complex decision-making, and could not be distracted by processing the massive amount of network information.

Therefore, the 'AI Butler' that he specially formatted and transplanted from the 'Internet Addiction' body can only temporarily call upon and control that tentacle with network characteristics. Its power source still belongs entirely to the puppet evil spirit itself.

Its function is similar to that of a person familiar with computer operation. After the puppet evil spirit bestows this power upon the guild server, users can interact with this 'AI butler' through simple voice commands.

In other words, this AI only has the right to offer suggestions, but cannot control the power to modify data.

The two then returned to Morrick Manor.

Without any delay, Wu Heng immediately manipulated the puppet evil spirit to make the specialized network tentacle ethereal and connect it to the core server array that had just been set up inside the manor for the Demon Hunter Guild's preparations.

Blue data streams flowed into the server rack along the network cable.

Almost instantly after the connection was completed.
hum!
The server's main control screen suddenly lit up, no longer the standby screen, but as if it had come to life, automatically popping up several windows, which refreshed massive amounts of data like a waterfall.

Immediately afterwards, a series of bright red warning boxes popped up rapidly, accompanied by a piercing alarm sound!
