With that, Ark started to walk towards Hiden Aruto.

"Snapped"

Yu Che reached out and placed his hand on Yak's shoulder.

Ark turned his head, and energy for attack began to gather in his palm.

Yu Che chuckled and said, "Kill him now... but you won't get what you want. Don't forget, Hiden Aruto is Hiden Konosuke's only grandson."

Ark looked at Yutsu, the attack in his palm slowly dissipating. He then turned to Hiden Aruto and waved his hand, "That's true. Well, forget it. Consider it a life you were spared. Be sure to be grateful~"

With that, Yak turned around and went back to the Zaia Building.

Mie and Xun followed stiffly behind...

Chapter 107 Grandpa, you're not dead?! [Part Four]

Fuwa and Hiden Aruto helped each other back to Hiden Corporation.

Having already made preparations for treatment, Izzy immediately arranged for the two to be taken to the treatment room.

"Feidian Corporation... they really came prepared. I remember these high-end treatment pods are very expensive."

As Izu arranged for Fuwa to lie down in a treatment pod, he spoke softly.

Hiden Aruto, lying weakly in the adjacent treatment pod, said, "This isn't the time to talk about these things..."

So, why did that guy let us go in the first place?

As they were talking, Hiden Aruto suddenly seemed to remember something, stroking his chin as he softly spoke: "He let us go... let the horse go, Hiden... so it's Pegasus, Pegasus? Hmm... this joke seems like it could work~"

"Don't break it, do you think this is a joke..."

"buzz"

The unbreakable hatch closed directly.

Hiden Aruto: "..."

So my jokes are really that bad?!

Hiden Aruto lay down inside, looking utterly dejected.

What Hiden Aruto didn't notice was that Fuwa's lips were noticeably upturned...

As Hiden Aruto lay in the treatment pod, under the influence of the hypnotic gas within, he slowly closed his eyes...

……

"Aruto? Aruto?! Wake up... wake up..."

An aged voice echoed in Feidian's or people's minds.

Hiden Aruto's eyelids twitched slightly, then he opened his eyes...

Upon opening his eyes, Hiden Aruto finds himself in a strange space composed of floating numbers of 0s and 1s.

Hiden Aruto's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself, "Where...is this?"

"Aruto...you're finally awake."

An aged voice rang in Feidian's or people's ears.

Hiden Aruto turned his head and stared wide-eyed at the familiar figure: "You! You are?!"

grandfather?!"

Standing before Hiden Aruto was the very man depicted in the portrait of the old man that had always been displayed throughout the Hiden Group's buildings:

Hiden is his assistant.

Hiden Korenosuke looked at Hiden Aruto with gentle eyes: "Aruto, it seems... you must have suffered a lot..."

Hiden Aruto's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes instantly reddened: "Grandpa, Grandpa..."

The next second, Hiden Aruto realized: "Grandpa, you're not dead?!"

Hiden Korenosuke's face darkened, and he waved his hand speechlessly at Hiden Aruto: "No, no, no, your grandfather is already dead. What's here now is just a pre-programmed sequence of events."

After this conversation with you ends, this program will automatically disappear, and I will also completely disappear from this world.

Hiden Aruto opened his mouth, then lowered his head again.

Hiden Korenosuke, with his hands behind his back, looked at Hiden Aruto with a grin: "Aruto, what's wrong with you? Did something happen that you can't solve?"

Hiden Aruto's eyes reddened, he wiped them and shook his head: "No, I'm fine, Hiden Corporation..."

Feidian Company is also very good..."

Hiden Korenosuke shook his head and chuckled softly to Hiden Aruto, "You've never been a child who would lie."

It seems you're not the only one having a tough time; Hiden Electronics is in trouble too, isn't it?

Hiden Aruto pursed his lips and remained silent.

Hiden Korenosuke sighed: "Do you know under what circumstances this program I set up will be activated?"

Hiden Aruto was taken aback and shook his head.

Hiden Korenosuke looked at Hiden Aruto with gentle eyes: "There are two conditions to activate this program of mine."

First, Hiden Aruto, you have inherited the power of Zero One, and the data center will bind your data to Zero One.

The second one…

Hiden Korenosuke sighed: "Data related to the satellite Yak was detected on you or in the Zero One's data."

Hiden Aruto was suddenly stunned: "Ark's?!"

Hiden Nosuke nodded, then, with his hands behind his back, softly said to Hiden Aruto, "Satellite Ark..."

Its birth shouldn't have been like this..."

Let's go back eighteen years:

Accompanied by Hiden Korenosuke's voice-over, scene after scene appears.

The Humagears developed by the Hiden Semiconductor Group were initially researched as auxiliary robots.

To facilitate management, we gave each Humagear a human appearance. After all, compared to the uniform appearance of metal robots, Humagears with their own unique appearances are easier to identify.

It also makes management easier and breaks down societal perceptions of us.

It should have been like this...

The scene shifts to a high-end villa:

A little child was happily riding his toy car, speeding around in his own garden, while a Humagear watched the scene with a blank expression.

The unexpected happened without any warning.

The car hit a pebble, went out of control, and the child was thrown out.

Just then, the Humagear who had been standing to the side moved instinctively...

He protected the child.

This scene left Hiden Korenosuke completely dumbfounded...

(Hiden Aruto realized it was the time he almost got injured when he was a child...)

That seemed to be the first time her Humagear father had protected her...

"...After that, I discovered that Humagears are different from ordinary robots."

They possess the potential to give rise to human emotions and intelligence.

Therefore... I decided to conduct research on this...

Hiden no Satoshi examined all of Humagear's data and found no problems.

However, the act of actively protecting one's grandson could not possibly be a pre-programmed procedure.

After much deliberation, Hiden Korenosuke finally made a bold decision.

He used himself as the test subject and then substituted all his data into a Humagear.

At that time, I was unaware that I had created a real monster...

I gave a program human intelligence and emotions...

This is the Pandora's box I've opened.

……

In the vast white space, Hiden Aruto's eyes widened and his face scrunched up: "Wait, wait, wait! Grandpa! Could it be... Ark... you created it?!"

Hiden no Naka de crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then nodded and shook his head: "To be precise, after I returned my data to that program, I destroyed it. The Humagear was also replaced with a different chip. Theoretically speaking, the program at that time had nothing to do with Ark."

However… the later birth of Ark did indeed have something to do with me.”

Hiden Korenosuke sighed and continued his explanation...

Chapter 108 The Birth of Ark [Part 5]

After figuring out that special piece of program code, I realized that Humagears are special.

They are robots that are fully capable of becoming truly human.

At that time, I only felt excited, completely unaware that Murphy's Law—the undeniable truth that everything will inevitably head towards the worst-case scenario—was a necessary consequence.

Hiden's narration is full of melancholy.

There was also a deep sense of regret.

I used that program to develop a module.

It's the emotional module that every Humagear now has.

Having this module makes it easier and faster for Humagears to break through the technological singularity and develop their own emotions.

And the first object used...

Hiden Aruto pursed his lips: "He's my father, right?"
