I am a female swordsman.

One is the world, the other is oneself!

Sephiroth stared at Yomi's nonchalant face, his blue-green pupils seeming to deepen slightly.

Do you want to be a hero?

“What if I said yes?” Huang Quan tilted his head and asked in return. “Becoming a qualified hero in my eyes is not such a simple matter.”

“Alright.” Sephiroth nodded, a simple word revealing boundless confidence. “After I become a qualified hero, may I ask you for one more condition?”

Today's date was a rare opportunity that Sephiroth had seized. He learned a great deal and gained some understanding from it, and therefore hoped for another chance to set his own terms. Sephiroth vaguely understood that this opportunity was truly exceptional!

I doubt there will ever be a second time...

“Sure, you can name any condition I can meet.” Huang Quan said something incredibly tempting, as if she were just casually remarking something insignificant, her expression as cold and aloof as ever.

He expected Huang Quan to refuse, but received an unexpected answer. Sephiroth suddenly felt he couldn't understand Huang Quan anymore, or rather, he had never been able to understand what this woman was thinking from the very beginning. Incomprehensible, like a cold, burning madness!

Can Sephiroth win? He's absolutely certain he can. And what about Yomi? Will she offer him a free win?

Only time will tell.

'Sephiroth, in Latin, means "flow of divinity." Just how far will this flow of divinity go? I'll wait and see.' A faint expectation flickered in his crimson eyes. Huang Quan wondered what expression the angel standing before him would finally wear.

Chapter 48 Progress of Psionic Organs

Since that day, Sephiroth noticed that Yomi had become much busier.

Aside from a short, random disappearance each week, he spent almost all his time in Shinra's research department, running back and forth between various basic departments. Even some of the scientific geniuses who spent long hours in high-end physics labs were pulled out. The Shinra warriors responsible for security were also extremely busy with this.

After all, researchers are invaluable.

The two occasionally bumped into each other at the company, but they would usually only exchange a few words before parting ways in a hurry.

There are still many problems to be solved regarding the [psychic organs].

Targeted cultivation, rejection issues, energy supply, compatibility issues, system construction, circulatory structure, and all possible impacts on the transplant recipient. The human body has long since developed its own system over the course of evolution, and adding components to this system is no easy task.

For example, take Shinra's current first-generation psionic organ: [Heart Fountain] as an example.

The ability of a single [Heart Spring] is to increase blood circulation. If a [Heart Spring] were transplanted into someone, one would have to consider whether their various blood vessels, hematopoietic capacity, and physical strength could withstand it, and what their upper limit was. Otherwise, transplanting psionic organs into ordinary people wouldn't be enhancing their strength, but rather murder!

Besides the [Heart Spring], other first-generation psionic organs with defects in various aspects include [Reverse Entropy], [Black Body], [Heavenly Eye], and [Electric Grid].

Of course, not all of the first-generation psionic organs could be applied to the Underworld.

Huang Quan wasn't an extremely selfish tyrant. She encouraged Shinra to advance its technology towards psionic organs, and in exchange, she naturally left the people of this world with a mature psionic organ technology. That way, even if she were gone one day, the people of this world would still have the means to move forward.

At least Huang Quan felt that the treasure she was trying to leave behind was terrifying...

"Fifteen individuals received the first-generation psionic organ [Heart Spring] transplant, with three currently surviving. Three individuals received the [Anti-Entropy] transplant, with zero surviving. Forty individuals received the [Black Body] transplant, with thirty currently surviving..." Edward maintained his usual smile as he recorded and reported.

The white Western man wore a thin metal film glove, and beneath his habitual smile lay disappointment.

The mortality rate is too high!

Instead of using natural humans, modified clones were used for transplantation. In theory, the various problems with psionic organs should have been controlled to an acceptable range in a laboratory environment. However, the clones still experienced an extremely high mortality rate, physical deterioration and disharmony, and a host of complications.

Even the clone with the highest survival rate, the "black body," suffers from complications, and the bloody scene of the clone scratching every inch of its intact skin is too gruesome to look at!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must find a way to solve this problem."

Upon hearing Edward's voice, many researchers, also clad in white lab coats, uploaded their solutions via their own information display screens. By pooling the group's collective wisdom, a new direction quickly emerged for solving the current challenges in psionic organ transplantation.

“The methods for cultivating psionic organs need to be improved,” a white-haired researcher suggested.

“That’s right, a rough transplant doesn’t align with our original purpose,” the young and beautiful researcher affirmed.

"The same changes are needed for debugging clones."

Those who participated in this meeting were all intelligent people, and naturally understood the meaning behind some of the statements. Of course, there were also some voices of concern among them.

"We still need to be cautious. If clones get out of control, I don't need to elaborate on the consequences."

These words sent a chill down the spines of all the researchers.

During the initial experiments with psionic organs, a super-generation psionic organ created using a demon flesh-and-blood substrate was loaded onto a clone. However, due to improper handling, the clone went out of control. The rampaging power instantly turned the clone into a writhing, deformed mass of flesh and bone!

Instead of losing their life characteristics, these polymers possess extremely strong vitality and aggression!

After destroying multiple laboratories and nearly crashing into the Mako Reactor, the Shinra warriors finally arrived and used a combination of high temperature and freezing to brittle his body, blasting him into pieces. Fortunately, no one died in that out-of-control incident, but it served as a wake-up call for the research department, reminding them that what they were creating was exceptionally dangerous.

………………

"Ultimately, the research department collectively proposed two solutions regarding the adaptation of psionic organs."

Presented on the Shinra Chairman's desk, these are documents that will be archived later.

"First, the cultivation method for artificial psionic organs will be optimized and improved, no longer involving individual, targeted cultivation. Instead, psionic organs will be cultivated within clones through modulation." The advantages and disadvantages of this method are both obvious. The advantage is greatly increased adaptability, making targeted cultivation of second- and third-generation psionic organs much easier. The disadvantage is the need for continuous upgrading and accumulation, making it impossible for psionic organs to reach perfection immediately. Furthermore, if clones are born with psionic organs, the degree of uncontrollability will increase again.

"Second, create psionic organs using the breeding methods of combat beasts. Utilize combat beasts to fight monsters, and through selection, let the combat beasts complete the systematization problem of psionic organs themselves." This method is more radical and bolder than the first. The harsh natural environment can make choices that humans cannot, and then all that's needed is to harvest the psionic organs, analyze the system, and utilize them—that's perfect.

One is similar to farming, and the other is similar to nomadic life.

Huang Quan suddenly found it inexplicably funny, without any particular reason, just a funny feeling that touched his heart.

"Both methods will be implemented simultaneously, and the safety regulations will be upgraded. A classification project for the development of psionic organs will be established, and it will be monitored by the department head." Huang Quan quickly gave feedback and proposed his direction.

The first generation of psionic organs was still very crude.

Having directly and specifically developed the ability of psionic organs, establishing a complete system and a reasonable and comprehensive classification is essential. As for the specific aspects to be classified, this will likely be a massive undertaking as more and more psionic organ concepts are realized.

After giving the order, Huang Quan buried his head back into the workbench.

While her subordinates solved problems, she too had to solve them. Huang Quan possessed a certain foresight regarding psionic organs, thanks to the demons as a reference. She aimed to resolve the issue of the [Psionic Furnace] before practical psionic organs were developed!

Chapter Forty-Nine: Rebirth

The operation of the drive organ requires energy.

Generally speaking, the greater the energy consumed, the more important the work. To work diligently without consuming energy is asking too much. This is especially true for psionic organs; in order to function effectively, obtaining bioenergy from the human body is essential, although the energy consumption of a single psionic organ may not be very high.

However, once the quantity reaches a certain level, the human body begins to be unable to withstand the demands of the spiritual organs.

Therefore, the concept of the "Psionic Furnace" was born.

For Huang Quan, the [Psionic Furnace] doesn't need to be put on the agenda so urgently, because the ever-growing and increasingly powerful transfer energy flowing within her body can be converted to supply the operation of her psionic organs. It's not too late to design the [Psionic Furnace] when her psionic organs require even more energy.

But Huang Quan is an exception!

Even Shinra warriors who have been soaked in Mako liquid and whose bodies are rich in energy cannot possibly squander energy like Yomi.

Perhaps a few exceptionally talented warriors with extremely high Mako synchronization rates could do it, but that would also contradict the original purpose of Yomi setting up psionic organs.

"The microscopic barriers in this world are extremely unstable."

The system, which was working with Huang Quan to find a solution, suddenly made this statement, causing Huang Quan, who was adjusting his glasses and rapidly calculating, to stop the empirical equation for the supply and operation of his spiritual organs. This equation was based on advanced mathematics, university physics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics, and its complexity was such that even the system and Huang Quan combined could not quickly derive it.

"You mean to say, using miracle science."

Miracle Science.

This is a term specific to this world. Different worlds actually differ in their microscopic and macroscopic barriers. In some worlds, the microscopic barriers are unstable, and certain experimental results can be easily obtained. For example, experiments at the level of the Large Hadron Collider can be as unstable as those in a third-rate laboratory.

By utilizing these characteristics, some unique advanced technologies can be created in this world. These technologies can achieve their goals without needing to explain their principles.

However, Miracle Science also has its drawbacks; the instability of the barrier is a significant weakness that is difficult to overcome over a long period of time.

"We can try to utilize the dark matter field!" The system's voice was calm yet carried an indescribable air of authority!

Bypass the [Psionic Reactor] and directly adapt the entire environment to the operation of the psionic organs! Humans cannot adapt to nature, so let's modify nature to adapt to humans!!

Compared to the system, Huang Quan's psionic furnace seemed rather short-sighted in its early planning.

"No way, are you crazy? If we do that, what do you think will be born in this already chaotic world? If we really do that, I wouldn't be surprised if one day I wake up and find a Super Saiyan in the world." Shocked by the system's audacious idea, Huang Quan immediately refused. It was too crazy! Although she didn't want to be a nice guy, she didn't want to be a villain who destroyed the world either.

"Host, we don't have much time left."

The system didn't react strongly to the rejection; it simply stated a fact.

They really don't have much time left!

During recent routine inspections of the system's residual components in higher dimensions, several abnormal spacetime fluctuations were detected. If spacetime is likened to a membrane, the matter existing on this membrane causes indentations and disturbances. Different entities emit different fluctuations.

The sheer magnitude of the fluctuations detected by the system clearly indicates disturbances caused by higher-dimensional beings traversing spacetime. A database check reveals the source of these fluctuations to be the creditor, [Daqian].

Clearly, the tolerance for the system [Daqian], which is suspected of defaulting on its debts and running away, is rapidly decreasing.

"To obstruct someone's enlightenment is like killing their parents." Huang Quan took off his frameless glasses and rubbed his temples vigorously. Hearing the Dao is difficult, but attaining it is even more difficult. He finally had the opportunity to understand the Dao, and then this happened.

Thinking about it this way, a surge of anger rose within her.

Huang Quan suddenly felt an urge to stab the giant ball of light through with her sword, to tell [Da Qian] not to disturb her when she was achieving perfection. But the problem was that this was a messy situation; there was no clear right or wrong in the messy affairs of the Divine Comedy world, and Huang Quan was caught up in it all.

"With the host's current combat strength, the chance of winning against [Da Qian] is infinitely close to zero."

"I know……"

The original transmigrated monster had countless powerful subordinates at various levels, and might even maintain communication with many beings who had transcended the transmigrated monster realm. With such a foundation, for Huang Quan to claim that he could contend with the giant light sphere would be utterly arrogant and ignorant.

Circumstances are stronger than people. Even if this world is used as the battleground, in a head-on confrontation, the system and the Yellow Springs combined have no chance of winning.

All they can do is accelerate the progress of their experiments, achieving so-called perfection before the true arrival of the Great Thousand World, and completing their transformation. Given the Great Thousand World's discipline-obsessed nature, they shouldn't make things difficult for them; at most, they'll just test them and then acknowledge their success.

If you can't do that...

Heh, the gore of the first-generation time-traveling monsters was no joke. Capturing them all and throwing them into the most dangerous war zone, where they would be slaughtered alongside various high-dimensional fragments, cosmic emperors, and dimensional-reducing time-traveling monsters, would be a minor matter.

"Moreover, the host's problems also need to be resolved as soon as possible." When mentioning the problems existing in Huang Quan himself, even the usually calm system couldn't help but express a little concern.

"The will of the wandering samurai is a bit beyond my imagination."

Huang Quan naturally knew which problem the system was referring to. Of the initial four job change tasks, she had already completed two and a half.

Two are [Sword Master] and [Demon Contractor], and half is [Wandering Warrior].

Huang Quan had initially speculated that each job change quest would grant a brief experience of the peak power of that profession. His later conversation with the Demon King Tamos further confirmed this. According to the system's information, the so-called four professions are actually four inheritances. These inheritances not only pass on power but also the power holder's insights, emotions, and personality.

The master of the Swordmaster was very kind to those who came after him, leaving nothing behind except for his power.

Although the Demon Contractor has an exceptionally volatile and violent temper, they are generally not malicious.

But the [Wandering Samurai] is different; it's a complete lineage. Within Huang Quan's consciousness, there exists a being that is temporarily suppressed, yet steadily accumulating strength, waiting to be reborn after breaking free from all constraints.

"Kill you, and I will be reborn."
