I transmigrated at the same time and became the King!

"Genos?!" Ze Feng was slightly surprised. He hadn't seen Genos since he rescued him from Mosquito Girl. He had been busy with training lately and had forgotten that Genos had mentioned wanting to become his apprentice.

I never expected them to come knocking on my door today.

"Mr. King, I've come to become your apprentice!!" Genos's attitude was extremely firm, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"I know, you mentioned this when we last met. I thought you would arrive sooner." Ze Feng's gaze swept over Genos in front of him. After changing a pair of new parts, Genos seemed to have gained even greater mobility.

Genos probably realized that his mobility was far inferior to that of the Mosquito Girl after fighting her, so he replaced the parts that could enhance his mobility.

"The injuries I sustained last time were quite severe. I replaced a lot of parts of my body to maximize my mobility in case I encounter a monster like that mosquito." Genos's explanation confirmed Ze Feng's guess.

"Is that so? Come in." Ze Feng invited Genos into the house and then closed the door.

The two sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at each other. Ze Feng, as a guest, made Genos a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Genos took the teacup and placed it on the table, his resolute gaze fixed on Ze Feng.

"Teacher KING, please teach me how to become stronger. I need power, even stronger power, powerful enough to destroy all evil!!" Genos solemnly performed the apprenticeship ceremony to Ze Feng, demonstrating the firmness of his determination.

"Why do you crave power so much?" Ze Feng asked Genos, resting his chin on his hands.

"Would you like to hear what I have to say?" Genos was lost in his memories. After a moment of contemplation, he was about to speak when Ze Feng interrupted him.

"Keep it short and get straight to the point." Ze Feng suddenly remembered that Genos was a super chatterbox. If you didn't interrupt him, the kid would keep talking until the listener fell asleep.

"Yes..." Genos nodded slightly upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, began to explain: "Actually, four years ago, when I was fifteen, I was still a real human. At that time, I was living a peaceful life with my family, until one day, a rampaging cyborg appeared, and everyone in the town was killed, including my parents. I was the only one who miraculously survived. In the ruins, I luckily met Dr. Kuseno and was rescued by him. I also volunteered to have my body modified by the doctor, which is why I am the way I am now. In the years since the modification, I have been carrying out heroic operations and searching for that out-of-control cyborg, but I still haven't heard a single word. So I thought..."

"Stop!!!" Ze Feng interrupted Genos's memories, forcibly cutting off the guy's explanation.

He was so tired of hearing it that his ears were practically calloused.

This guy is a total chatterbox; once he starts explaining things, he just can't stop.

Genos, who was abruptly interrupted, was speechless and did not continue to explain, but his attitude remained very sincere.

"I have witnessed your power, which far surpasses mine. I want to become stronger, as strong as you!! Please!!!" Genos's words were firm, and he even kowtowed to Ze Feng.

"I know what you want to do. You just want to become stronger and then find the cyborg who killed your parents to take revenge. But I don't seem to have what you want."

"You are a cyborg who achieved mechanical ascension through biochemical modification, while I am still made of flesh and blood. To be honest, I don't know how to make you stronger, and what aspect of becoming stronger do you mean?"

Ze Feng's series of questions left Genos stunned.

Mechanical ascension and the physical body are two different paths.

Ze Feng's own methods of becoming stronger had no effect on Genos.

"I...I..." Genos didn't know how to answer Ze Feng. He only wanted to gain more power by becoming a disciple, but he ignored the difference between a flesh and blood body and a body of steel.

Ze Feng is human, while he is a bio-engineered human; the two are completely different.

The same system of getting stronger simply won't work.

"Your obsession with revenge runs too deep. Sometimes it might be better to let go. Besides... the cyborg you mentioned might have already been killed by me sometime in the past." Ze Feng changed the subject, turning the topic to the mysterious, almost non-existent cyborg that Genos had mentioned.

Having been familiar with the original storyline, he also had some understanding of Genos's background.

The cyborg who destroyed Genos's hometown probably doesn't exist.

"You killed him?! That shouldn't be possible. A rampaging bio-engineered human is extremely powerful and can easily destroy a town. Even you, Mr. King, wouldn't have an easy time dealing with him." Genos denied it outright, clearly unwilling to believe that his enemy had been killed by Ze Feng.

"My eyes can help you see the memories in your mind, do you want to see them?" Ze Feng was too lazy to explain and decided to use the ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Help me recall my past memories... This... Okay!" Genos was startled upon hearing this. Although he was somewhat unwilling to believe it, he still agreed to Ze Feng's suggestion.

*Buzz!*

A red light flashed in Ze Feng's eyes as his Mangekyou Sharingan activated, unleashing a genjutsu that struck Genos's heart directly. Based on Genos's deepest fears, he crafted a genjutsu that was almost indistinguishable from the real world.

Genos, now in the illusionary world, once again witnesses the tragedy that occurred four years ago.

"Stop it!!" Genos witnessed his parents being engulfed in flames by the explosion once again. He tried desperately to stop it, but there was nothing he could do.

He locked his gaze on the culprit, only to find that the other party was a shapeless black shadow, with no discernible features or characteristics, as if it did not exist at all.

[As expected...] Ze Feng, the one who initiated the illusion, had already understood everything.

The memory of Genos's hometown being destroyed is completely fabricated.

To determine if there was a problem with the illusion, Ze Feng tried it ten times, but without exception, he still couldn't make out the shapeless black shadow.

So there's only one truth.

This is a false memory that has been implanted.

With the truth confirmed, Ze Feng dispelled Genos's illusion.

Upon returning to the real world, Genos's mental energy was severely depleted, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Ze Feng then examined his own eyes.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is powerful, but overuse can lead to blindness.

After carefully examining his surroundings, Ze Feng discovered that although his eyes had been depleted after casting a simple illusion spell, the rate of depletion was far slower than his recovery rate!
