Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

“Yes, I trust Lord Hiruko.” Mina nodded. She could only trust Hiruko, and at least he treated her fairly well and wouldn’t force her to fight.

"Go have fun, you don't need to bother with me anymore." Hiruko saw Mina out of the laboratory.

Soon, due to his own characteristics, after absorbing Mina's genes, Hiruko not only mastered the three abilities of generating fire with his mind, telekinesis, and mental perception, but also developed various derivative abilities, such as using telekinesis to rub particles in the air to create lightning, using mental perception to amplify the killing intent, and even directly scaring a white mouse to death.

Telepathic abilities can be extended to things like the "fist intent" and "sword intent" in Eastern fantasy, where special spiritual realms are transformed into illusions and added to attack moves, polluting the enemy's mental world while they are being severely hit.

Chapter 359 My Father-in-Law Is Not Happy

"Wow, it feels a bit like Kuuga and Agito, supernatural fire, lightning, creation from the void... Telekinesis is really omnipotent~" Hiruko exclaimed.

"I might be able to try creating a black hole and escaping the atmosphere into space in a few days, but I know I can't move a galaxy directly with telekinesis right now. I need to work harder; I'm still not strong enough!"

Telekinesis is practically a universal ability. Hiruko can observe particles in the microscopic world, and then, utilizing the characteristics and precision of telekinesis, directly interfere with these particles.

He can easily create natural phenomena such as hurricanes, lightning, and flames, and even physical phenomena such as nuclear fusion and black holes.

On a macro level, the most direct application of telekinesis is to shatter planets and move various physical objects.

The lower limit of telekinesis is low, while the upper limit is high; the strength of telekinesis is determined by the user's skill.

In this Kamen Rider universe, Hiruko's counterpart has always been Toma Kurokami from Agito, the strongest psychic user. As for the incredibly flamboyant snake-skinned monster and his brother K, they'll have to wait until later.

"My imagination is still too limited. Beam saber, Supernova: Heavenly Abyss Sword, or even Ultraman-like beam skills, all seem worth trying to develop," Hiruko murmured. His core purpose in traveling between different worlds was immortality, and power was an essential element for immortality. Pursuing and mastering more and stronger power was inevitable.

The principle of the beam saber is to shoot out imaginary high-energy Milovsky particles to form a sword-shaped I-force field, and then fill the force field with high-heat plasma to generate a lightsaber with cutting capabilities.

He can create high-temperature plasma on-site, and the sword-shaped force field that binds the plasma can also be replaced by telekinesis. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to create a light sword with his bare hands as long as he is willing to try. In addition, he can also use chakra to create chakra lightsabers of various shapes.

It's always good to develop multiple capabilities and not rely entirely on one, as capabilities may become ineffective or diminished in other worlds. Sometimes, localization and adaptation are essential.

For example, genjutsu abilities in the Naruto world require slight adjustments based on their principles to function in other worlds where chakra can operate.

Another example is Sage Mode, a special fighting mode that draws energy from nature. It could only be used again after Hiruko modified the planet in the JoJo world, but it was meaningless to him because the entire planet was already part of his body.

Fortunately, the concept of chakra is broad. It can be used to extract special energy from the spirit and body of living beings, and it can also be used to extract planetary resources and convert them into special energy. Therefore, the chakra of most of the worlds that Hiruko has experienced so far is still usable. At most, he needs to change his fighting style according to the environment.

Hiruko was clear about his own strength. Aside from his special abilities that only worked at specific times and places, he was not yet powerful enough to distort most of the world's rules on his own. He now needed to adapt to different worlds, conform to their rules, and absorb their essence for targeted evolution.

Therefore, the more trump cards you have, the deeper your foundation, the more flexibly you can deal with various situations, and the longer you can live.

"It's time to head to the Madoka family and explore the depths of the Earth through that special well."

Hiruko swayed and stretched as he stood up from his seat. Orochimaru really is a genius. Hiruko had already temporarily abandoned the development of Sage Mode in the W world, yet he still managed to create something that seemed plausible but was actually something else using the Gaia Memory.

According to him, the essence of the Sage Mode is "the unity of man and nature", which means getting close to nature with the human body and controlling a part of the planet's power. The Gaia Memory itself extracts Earth's memory data, which is essentially from Earth and is a part of Earth's power. So why can't the data energy in the Gaia Memory be regarded as the natural energy of this world?

Therefore, in Orochimaru's view, the resonance between living beings and the Gaia Memory is equivalent to the connection between Earth's living beings and Earth.

Therefore, the dopant formed by absorbing Gaia memory data energy that is compatible with one's physique can be considered an alternative Sage Mode, just like the Cursed Seal that Orochimaru developed before.

The process of continuously developing and upgrading memory is a process of continuously harnessing more "natural energy". If it is developed to a certain extent, it may even improve one's authority, naturally connect with the earth, enter the earth's library, and achieve a perfect immortal mode, that is, the true meaning of "unity of heaven and man".

The Xtreme power of the Yuusaki family is essentially a cheat shortcut. It treats Earth Online like a game, where ordinary people painstakingly grind levels, while the Yuusaki family, relying on special accounts, skips the leveling process and develops a cheat program to bypass the system, achieving everything in one step. It also has the ability to maximize the power of any existing memory to the current level's limit.

Therefore, the Yuankai family only needs to wait for Philip to activate Xtreme. They don't need to desperately upgrade their own memory development. As long as other test subjects develop other memory levels, they can use it directly with Xtreme.

Hiruko thought Orochimaru's analysis was correct, but he didn't like developing and upgrading the memory step by step; he preferred to cheat.

Instead of slowly nurturing and evolving the Gaia Memory level with your mind and body, why not just transform into the Divine Tree and extract Earth's energy? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to deal 999 damage in one hit than to slowly grind and spend your life leveling up?

However, Xtreme didn't want to let it go either, so he wouldn't make any big moves for the time being. He would just go to the Madoka family's house for the time being, insert a tentacle into the well that connects to the depths of the earth, and suck a few mouthfuls to test Orochimaru's claim.

If this could raise his memory level to a certain point, wouldn't he be able to directly access the Earth Library?

Once connected to the Earth Library, he can directly unlock the complete Earth encyclopedia, including both extinct creatures and mythical deities from Earth's mythology. His ultimate biological transformation technique will have even more templates to adapt to.

By then, Hiruko will also become a pseudo-omniscient and omnipotent being at the planetary level, with everything within the Earth's scope of the W world under his control.

……

At the Sonosaki family mansion, a black limousine drove into the villa. Saeko, arm in arm with Hiruko, stepped out of the car, crossed a short flight of steps, and entered the main hall. Sonosaki Ryubei, who was sitting at the head of the dining table, stroking Mick, saw Hiruko arrive, and his face instantly darkened.

"Why are you here?" Sonozaki Ryubei asked. He was wary of Hiruko, whom he considered a dangerous figure who could seize the fruits of the Sonozaki family's victory at any time.

"Oh dear, it seems my father-in-law doesn't welcome me~" Hiruko unceremoniously pulled up a chair and sat down at the dining table.

"Here you go, my dear." Saeko poured Hiruko a glass of red wine, and she was pleased to see her father's gloomy face.

“I remember, you haven’t married Saeko yet, have you?” Sonozaki Ryubei glanced at her eldest daughter, who seemed to be completely siding with Hiruko, and said in a sickeningly sweet tone.

"The Ensaki family is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the earth and will surely surpass humanity in the future. Why bother with these tedious rituals created by humans?"

Seeing Saeko standing beside him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, Hiruko immediately offered an excuse.

Marriage is out of the question. As long as the two of you are together, that's enough. Why bother with all the fancy stuff?

Whether it's a Chinese wedding, a Western wedding, or a Japanese wedding, he doesn't feel that anyone can bless or protect him, nor does he want to worship heaven and earth, let alone add another layer of constraints to himself.

“What you said makes some sense…” Although Sonozaki Ryubei didn’t like Hiruko, she agreed with his statement. “Fine, since Saeko doesn’t care, I have no objection.”

"What exactly do you want to do here this time?" Sonozaki Ryubei asked, staring into Hiruko's eyes.

“Father-in-law, have you forgotten? I said last time that I wanted to study the well in the Madoka family’s house. That’s the source of the Gaia Memory and the starting point of everything,” Hiruko said frankly.

Regardless of whether Sonozaki Ryubei agrees or not, he can still sneak into that place.

Since the Sonozaki family is not as strong as him, there is no need for him to be secretive. He might as well be more direct, inform Sonozaki Ryubei, and then explore the depths of Earth.

Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. Inside the Madoka residence, Wakana sneaked into the bathroom and said fiercely to the mirror, "Hey, Hiruko, have you been lying to me all along?"

"Tsk! Don't think you can get away with playing dead! Come out here!" Wakana stomped her foot and shouted angrily.

"Hey hey~ Princess Wakana, why are you so angry?" The silver-haired, boy-sized Hiruko casually said while sitting on the washbasin.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I won't recognize you just because you dyed your hair? The man with Saeko looks exactly like you!" Wakana grabbed Hiruko's shoulders and pressed him down onto the sink.

"And that Origin Man, Hashirama Senju, I saw information about him while hosting a show today! A new urban legend... Ha! How many more things are you lying to me about?" Wakana asked through gritted teeth.

A series of urban legends have recently emerged in Fuuto, featuring the dual-color Kamen Rider W, who repeatedly gambles his life to defeat the owner of a million-dollar casino and obtain everything from him, only to lose all the assets of the underground casino within a few days, ultimately forcing him to disband the casino. This is the story of the "God of Gamblers," Hashirama Senju.

“All of them.” Hiruko simply stopped pretending.

"What?" Wakana's eyes widened, the veins on her forehead became more and more prominent, and she gradually developed murderous intent.

"It's all a lie~" Hiruko said with a grin.

"Go to hell, you bastard!" Wakana swung her fist and smashed it into Hiruko's face.

"Alright, stop fooling around. You've vented your anger enough. Go to sleep." Hiruko said after letting Wakana smash him for a while, feeling that she couldn't hit him anymore and her strength was gradually weakening.

"Humph!"

Wakana turned and left, still annoyed by Hiruko's childish talk, but she could only let it go for the time being.

She gradually began to crave power, no longer resisting her family's power and the power of the memory body as before, and she was less resistant to learning.

……

Inside the secret underground chamber of the Yuanzaki family's house, there is a rough-looking well with a green glow shimmering from its opening. This is the Earth Spring, the Earth's data energy, a special passage leading directly to the deepest part of the Earth.

Hiruko stood at the well's edge, contemplating whether he should take a leap of faith. Perhaps if he jumped, he could become a special data lifeform like Philip, and a data lifeform directly connected to Earth.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea. Mainly, he didn't like such a highly unpredictable behavior. He could change his life form, since it wasn't like he couldn't change back, but he had to actively change others. This kind of forced transformation didn't suit his taste.

Moreover, if one were to be completely transformed into a data life form on Earth, even if one's data were completely recorded by Earth, and if the data were leaked, someone could target him or analyze his data to attack his weaknesses, and he could easily be caught off guard and suffer a devastating defeat.

Thus, Hiruko transformed into a divine tree, its wooden tendrils extending continuously, probing little by little into the earth's interior through the well opening.

"Is this the limit?" Hiruko stopped extending his tentacles. After a period of growth and extension, his tentacles had reached a limit; if they extended any deeper, they would be broken down into a pile of green data by a special force. This was the conclusion he reached after losing a portion of his wooden tentacles.

However, now that the safe length has been determined, the next step is to directly extract the data energy from the spring.

This was no challenge for Hiruko, as he was familiar with the process of creating Gaia Memories, the initial step of which was to extract and process Earth's memory data. If humanity truly had no way of dealing with "Izumi," then Sonozaki Ryubei would also be unable to create a large number of Gaia Memories.

Hiruko transformed his tentacles into a special machine similar to a water pump, emitting a beam of light that absorbs data energy, continuously transmitting and absorbing the scattered data inside the well into his body.

Then, through the characteristics of the Divine Tree, it was transformed into a special kind of chakra, and this chakra was used to continuously cultivate the special memory bodies he created by hand, as well as some memory bodies that he did not create by hand, such as the Wind God Wyvern memory body that he took from Sonozaki Ryubei.

Hiruko wanted to try Orochimaru's approach: if the memory's level was developed high enough, could it really gain access to the Earth Library?

Practice makes perfect; no matter how much you guess, it's all in vain if you don't have facts to back it up.

Furthermore, Hiruko wanted to try to see if the evolution of memory could be achieved by directly infusing Earth's data energy as nutrients, in addition to using living organisms as petri dishes.

The Quetzalcoatlus memory is not only a pterosaur, a species that lived from about 8400 million to 6500 million years ago, with a wingspan of over 11 meters, and is the largest flying animal known to humankind, but it also symbolizes a special concept, namely the feathered serpent god, a deity widely worshipped in Mesoamerican civilizations.

The power of the Gaia Memory can recreate some ancient creatures on Earth, but this is not the entirety of the memory.

If it is merely a matter of replicating some organisms eliminated by Earth and combining them to evolve and upgrade, then the Gaia Memory cannot be considered a special and powerful power system at all.

Gaia Memory can also manifest many conceptual powers, such as special conceptual powers like fear, aging, eternity, hope, fantasy, and ace. Many artificially defined concepts can also be made into powerful memories.

However, these conceptual memories are often difficult to develop. For example, the Luna memory actually represents the vast and special concept of fantasy, which is theoretically a terrifying memory with unlimited potential.

Chapter 360 Craving Power

However, reality is like a cold mirror, ruthlessly reflecting the limitations of Luna's memory.

It merely unlocks the potential of "deformation manipulation," granting the wielder a body as flexible as Luffy's rubber warrior, with tentacle-like whipping abilities as swift as lightning, and limbs that can freely extend and retract as if reaching the edge of the universe. It also endows the weapon's trajectory with the strange characteristic of a curved path, like the agile trajectory used to avoid obstacles during interstellar travel.

However, apart from that, it has no other remarkable features, like a dim star, silently twinkling in the science fiction sky.

Perhaps this is due to Toei Technology's technological barriers in special effects presentation, much like the energy shield in interstellar travel, which is difficult to overcome.

Or perhaps the development of Luna memory itself was more difficult than imagined, like a difficult journey to explore an unknown galaxy.

Or perhaps the first developer lacked imagination and left behind only deformed data, like an explorer who lost their interstellar navigation map.

In short, Hiruko was extremely disappointed, and his eyes flashed with resentment and longing.

He thought to himself, not to mention Kenpachi, the madman in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc of Bleach who self-destructed because he imagined his own power had exceeded its limit, whose madness was like a black hole that devoured everything.

At the very least, they should be like Green Lantern, able to create forms at will, like a creator in the universe, wielding endless creativity and power.

Currently, it is merely a rubber man in form, which hardly qualifies as a fantasy. It is like a rudimentary spaceship in interstellar travel, unable to soar through the vast universe.

However, Hiruko had lost interest in the Luna Memory at this moment, and his gaze, like that of an interstellar probe, turned to the Pteranodon Memory treasured by Sonozaki Ryubei.

He intended to explore how the concept of Quetzalcoatl could shine in his hands, much like a scientist exploring the mysteries of unknown elements.

The myth of Quetzalcoatl is vast and boundless, with concepts as complex as the Milky Way. It is both the messenger of the rainy season and the guardian of sowing and harvest, like the source of life in interstellar agriculture; it also once held the power of the sun god, like a blazing star in the universe.

Legend has it that it rules the morning star, invented writing, established laws, bestowed corn upon humankind, and symbolizes death and rebirth. It is the guardian of priests and an embodiment of wisdom and order in interstellar civilization.
