American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

.......................................

The new laboratory beneath the headquarters of Lexcorp.

After half a day of construction by Lex Luthor, the first "Data Life Converter" has been successfully built.

Kovacs instantly hacked into the machine, performing a scan and copy-paste operation to transmit all the internal structural diagrams back to the digital world.

Then, Kovacs said casually, "Theoretically, it is indeed possible to convert successfully, but it requires the assistance of my rules!"

Lex Luthor was definitely not having it! He had worked so hard for so long to build this machine. How could he possibly be held hostage by someone else?

"I create something, and I need someone else's help to use it? Do I have to be subservient to others? What a joke!"

"Tch, you stupid iron penguin, you don't know anything! I can do it just fine without your help."

With my genius-level intellect, creating this instrument is a piece of cake!

Bring the test sample up! Let's test if this thing works.

An assistant, who had been waiting nearby, came over carrying a box. The assistant said he'd gotten used to the boss and the AI ​​exchanging barbs, sarcastic remarks, and insults over the past two days.

Place the box on this instrument, which, although a prototype, is as big as half a laboratory – the “Data Life Conversion Device”. The space in the middle can easily fit a box.

Inside the box was a healthy chimpanzee, but its fur had been shaved off and electrode pads had been attached to many parts of its body.

Its eyes were fierce, and when the box curtain was lifted again, it jumped up and down excitedly, its fangs protruding, looking extremely ferocious.

Next, it will serve as the experimental subject for the first "data life transformation experiment".

[Data scanning...]

[Input complete...]

[Power storage is secure. Digital channel activated...]

[Start killing target... Annihilation successful... Start copying data...]

[Starting to build the digital core... Loading...]

[Successfully completed...]

[Activating the digital core!]

"It worked! It worked on the first try! Hahahaha..."

Lex Luthor was trembling with excitement, unable to contain his smile.

That's right, this "Data Life Conversion Device" replicates biological data and then rewrites it into a digital core!

Next, activate it! Make it appear in Digimon form!

That chimpanzee has been successfully "resurrected"!

In the form of a Digimon!

Kowasky directly and forcefully intruded, using its administrator privileges to conduct a comprehensive analysis of this newly born Digimon.

Then, I went back to the computer.

Lex Luthor excitedly asked, "How was it? Isn't it perfect! Hahaha, digital technology isn't as difficult as I thought!"

"I regret to inform you," Kovarsky said, transforming the computer into a mechanical creature and shrugging in a human-like manner, "that you did successfully transform it into a Digimon, but you lost its memories!"

"what!"

Lex Luthor's smile froze for a moment. Then, he stared at the chimpanzee in disbelief.

Indeed, the chimpanzee's eyes no longer held the previous ferocity; instead, they held a clear, innocent stupidity.

"How is that possible! I have completely mastered the technology of Digimon! How could there be memory loss!"

He rushed to the equipment and began to check and inspect all the parts of the machine step by step. As for the network, needless to say, Kovacs was helping to keep an eye on it, and if there was a problem, it would definitely report it first.

If it's not a problem with the digital technology, then there's a problem with the instrument's hardware!

He searched carefully, checked step by step, and almost disassembled the entire set of instruments and then reassembled them.

"That's impossible! There's absolutely no problem! What's going on?"

The bald head was scratched red by Lex Luthor, so the experiment was a success. Losing his memory was just a minor flaw!

However, Lex Luthor seemed obsessed, frantically searching for the reason. He was practically driven mad with rage!

Kowaski was also puzzled. He had calculated according to the plan given by Lex Luthor, and theoretically there should be no problem. The chimpanzee should be able to perfectly replicate the original's memories.

Amnesia shouldn't happen, but since it has become a Digimon, amnesia isn't a big problem. At worst, it can just learn what it has forgotten again. Digimon don't die of old age.

There is plenty of time to do research and learn new knowledge.

This is what Lex Luthor is struggling with: the experiment was a success, but also a failure.

He needs someone with a complete memory to deal with the officials; someone without memories isn't the same person anymore! He has to solve this problem!

Kovacs looked at the bald man, who sat on the sofa in a depressed state of mind. He connected with his digital counterpart and began communicating with it.

"Main body, a special situation has occurred here! The device that transforms living beings into Digimon was successful! But a small problem has arisen: amnesia has occurred!"

Do you have any good ideas?

The gigantic Kowaski sat in the snow and ice, scratching his head in confusion: "Amnesia? To what extent? Only some memories are lost, or have they been completely erased?"

The clone carefully observed the chimpanzee. It appeared unusually peaceful, with light seemingly shining in its two watery eyes. If it were given a robe, it might instantly attain Buddhahood!

"Uh, when I hacked into him, I didn't check his memory bank, I just looked at his digital core and basic data. Everything seemed normal. It seems like only humans care about things like memories!"

The clones are right. They are Digimon, and they can learn anything that has been digitized, such as learning materials or compressed files, very quickly!

So-called amnesia can be recovered by simply going online for a few minutes, and you can even become smarter than before! Since you're no longer human, why bother with memories?

Lex Luthor suddenly remembered something, jumped up, ran out of the laboratory, found something in his pile of clutter, and hurriedly ran back.

He plugged the USB drive into the computer and said to Kowasky, "This is the chimpanzee's experimental log. Send it the whole thing. I don't believe it doesn't have a single memory left!"

Lex Luthor was using a rather dangerous method: he wanted to use video recordings to stimulate the amnesiac chimpanzee, hoping it would remind him of something, even if it was a bad memory!

Soon, the Digimon Black Gorilla received the data, but it wasn't as aggressive as expected.

While it was still confused about what to read, it also kept browsing other information online and gradually came to understand everything!

Kovacs raised an eyebrow. 'Is this gorilla a little too smart?'

Chapter 147 Garfield's Inner Universe in the Celestials

The chimpanzee displayed remarkable intelligence; it quickly learned the language and then began to converse with Lex Luthor.

"What... should I call you? Doctor, or Father? Forgive me for my limited knowledge of this world, but how about I call you Lex?"

Lex Luthor raised an eyebrow and took a few steps closer to the chimpanzee, his face almost touching the screen.

Digital life forms are confined in digital space, so Lex Luthor is observing them closely from behind a screen.

He was still thinking to himself: Was this too much of a stimulus? Logically speaking... those materials shouldn't have given rise to such high levels of intelligence.

After all, it hadn't been more than five minutes since it was born. It's not that its intelligence wouldn't grow, but the speed of its growth was somewhat beyond Lex Luthor's expectations.

He looked directly into the other person's eyes: "What is your self-perception? Are you a new life, or a continuation of the chimpanzee?"

The chimpanzee remained silent, pondering the question. It was now a completely different species from the chimpanzee it had been before.

Moreover, as a newborn, everything about it, from its thinking habits to its memories, is new!

“I am a new individual, not a previous gorilla experiment.”

Lex Luthor was furious; the gorilla's words proved once again that his experiment had failed!

They wanted to save those genetically mutated individuals by becoming data lifeforms, or to extend the lives of those dying old people by using the life characteristics of data lifeforms.

From these perspectives, this conversion device is a failure!

Kowaski couldn't say it outright, because the Digimon created by Lex Luthor were not continuations of physical life, but rather replicas of life.

To put it simply, they created a new Digimon based on the original physical data, but the original soul of the body has already entered hell!

....................................

In Hell, Garfield, a member of the Celestials, sits on the throne of Hell, organizing his inner universe.

Within his body, brimming with cosmic energy, five shimmering stars slowly revolve around a sprouting seed.

Every star is a universe shrunk to its smallest size.

They are:

The newly born Digital World; the primordial planet created by the Starforge Dragon King; the Celestial Universe; the Pokémon Universe; the Gourmet Devil Universe.

Needless to say, the Digital World is a world acquired by accident.

After a period of development, the Kryptonian Eternals have established city-states on Aurelion Sol's original planet, passing down their technology and culture.

The Celestials' universe originated because Garfield, the first Celestial in the DC universe, absorbed too much cosmic energy in the Hell dimension, resulting in excessive energy. He then used this excess energy to create a mini-universe while researching how to create planets.

However, during the process of creating his microcosm, the energy emanating from him resonated with the rules of this microcosm. After a period of time, the planets that were created by friction transformed into smaller groups of gods, and these little guys multiplied and thrived in his microcosm.

The Pokémon universe owes much to Mew's genes. The power left behind by Arceus has always lingered within Garfield, a Celestial, creating a sense of incongruity with other worlds.

If it weren't for Groudon's genes, these energies might have been assimilated by other worlds. The appearance of Mew gave these powers a core, and Arceus's power continuously gave birth to Mew, and through Mew, Pokémon were constantly spawned, gradually forming a world in this inner universe.

The universe of Gourmet Devil is quite interesting; it was born from Garfield eating "snacks"!

The world of food is different from other worlds, perhaps because Garfield is now disguised as the Demon King of Hell. When this universe was born, it replicated some of the rules of this Hell dimension, and Garfield has 100% control over these replicated rules, even though he is no longer the Demon King.

As for the power left behind by the other creator gods, it still exists in Garfield's body, waiting for the opportunity to emerge from other universes.

....................................

It was only through the combined power of these five worlds and the entire hell dimension outside, and the infusion of all sorts of miscellaneous energies, that the seed of the World Tree was barely able to sprout.

Contrary to mythology, the World Tree did not quickly take root after sprouting. Instead, it stopped moving after absorbing one-third of Garfield's energy.

Garfield tried to inject energy again, but the newly sprouted seed refused to accept any more energy, as if it had overeaten.

If it's already full, there's nothing you can do but wait until it needs you again.
