Chapter 261: Flesh Mechanization, the True Mechanical City!_2
All were transformed from flesh and blood life into half-mechanical life.
However, Su Yu never initiated the Mechanical Blessing on Xiao Shengyin and the other two.
How could this be?
Suddenly, Su Yu recalled something and abruptly looked up at the constantly operating dome of the Mechanical Space:
"Mechanical City, did you do something?"
Upon hearing this, Mechanical City immediately responded, "Huh? Did I do something? Master, I don't understand."
It seemed it didn't know what was going on. As Su Yu's creation, it couldn't deceive Su Yu. If it didn't know, it simply didn't know.
"Then why?"
Su Yu watched the drastic transformation happening to Xiao Shengyin and the others, his mind rapidly calculating, speculating.
"Is it these memories? Do they have problems inherently?"
"They were extracted by the Demon Nemesis, could it be part of the Demon Nemesis's power?"
Su Yu soon thought of a possibility that these memories had been tampered with by the Demon Nemesis.
Returning these memories could cause mutations.
"But if it's the Demon Nemesis's power, Xiao Shengyin and the others should have turned into flesh monsters, why did they mechanize?"
"Could it be because these memories were once devoured by the Mechanical City and tainted with its power?"
Su Yu felt that he had gotten close to the truth.
It was likely these memories were methods used by the Demon Nemesis to control Xiao Shengyin and the others.
Returning these memories would have turned Xiao Shengyin and the others into puppets of the Demon Nemesis, or absorbed to become part of that twisted flesh mass.
But now these memories had been devoured once by the Mechanical City.
The Mechanical City, being exalted and nine-star level, possibly unintentionally unravelled and absorbed the Demon Nemesis's power.
Now these memories contained both the power of the Demon Nemesis and Mechanical City.
And clearly, the power of Mechanical City was dominant.
Returning these memories to Xiao Shengyin and the others resulted in their mechanical mutation right away.
"Mechanization is better than turning into flesh monsters, it seems their luck is not bad, they escaped death."
Having figured out all this, Su Yu could only exclaim at the good fortune of Xiao Shengyin and the others.
If it hadn't been for the Mechanical City mistakenly devouring those memories once.
Xiao Shengyin and the others might have turned into monsters akin to the Demon Nemesis.
This Demon Nemesis fellow is very mysterious.
It left tampering in the memories that even Su Yu didn't detect.
In truth, if Su Yu had enough time to study, he probably could have discovered the hidden dangers.
But the problem was there was no time, he had to return these memories to their owners quickly; otherwise, lives would be at risk.
That would mean falling into the Demon Nemesis's trap.
By then, Xiao Shengyin and them, along with millions of others, would turn into the Demon Nemesis's puppets.
Thankfully, Mechanical City had intervened.
"Mechanical City, you did well."
After understanding everything, Su Yu praised the Mechanical City.
"Huh? What did I do?"
"Thank you, Master..."
Mechanical City was bewildered, not knowing why Su Yu praised it, but it certainly was a good thing! Its mood improved significantly.
"Mr. Su Yu, did you initiate the Mechanical Blessing on them? But doesn't one need to become a Believer to receive the blessing?"
At this moment, Tie Long suddenly spoke up.
He saw the mutations in Xiao Shengyin and assumed it was Su Yu's doing.
Xie Yitian also looked at Su Yu, hoping for an explanation.
Because he was also curious, could it be that Xiao Shengyin and the others had already started believing in Su Yu? Otherwise, how could they receive the Mechanical Blessing while unconscious?
Su Yu, however, shook his head, "No, it was the Demon Nemesis's doing, but by a happy accident..."
Su Yu explained his prior speculation to Tie Long and Xie Yitian.
Upon understanding everything, Tie Long and Xie Yitian were filled with fear.
That relentless Demon Nemesis, its tricks truly are bizarre!
Just a little off, and Xiao Shengyin and the others, along with millions of ordinary people, would have perished completely.
Luckily, Mr. Su Yu, with his vast capabilities and multitude of methods, unraveled the Demon Nemesis's plot...
Although Su Yu said this was all due to Mechanical City's accidental contribution.
Tie Long and Xie Yitian wouldn't believe this; they'd rather think that this mastermind Su Yu perceived everything, easily dismantling the Demon Nemesis's minor tricks.
Seeing their expressions, Su Yu knew what they were thinking and was slightly helpless but disinclined to explain further.
"But, Mr. Su Yu, wouldn't this mean that Chairman Xiao and those millions of ordinary people would all turn into half-mechanical life forms? Isn't this somewhat inappropriate..."
At this moment, Xie Yitian suddenly spoke.
Those memories were problematic; if all were delivered to their owners, it would create millions of half-mechanicals, with almost no exception.
"There is no other way."
"This passive mechanization, who knows what aftermath it might have, let's wait for Chairman Xiao and the others to wake up and talk about it."
Su Yu sighed slightly.
As of now, he didn't know whether the mechanization for Xiao Shengyin and the others would improve or worsen the situation.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, they'll know once the metamorphosis is complete and the three wake up.
However, if this mechanization doesn't have hidden dangers, the future Mechanical City might truly live up to its name and become a real Mechanical City.
After all, almost the entire Mechanical City would be half-mechanical beings.
Xie Yitian nodded, not saying more.
Tie Long, however, showed flickering eyes, appearing somewhat delighted.
After becoming a half-mechanical life form, he was no longer considered a normal human, inevitably feeling a bit out of place.
Now suddenly gaining millions of "kind"? That would truly be an unexpected joy.
Of course, Tie Long knew the importance: having millions of kind was conditional that this mechanization had no hidden dangers so that everyone could survive.
For now, all they could do was wait.
The three stood quietly in front of the medical containers, waiting for Xiao Shengyin and the others to wake up.
However, they soon noticed that the mechanization of Xiao Shengyin and the others was somewhat different from Tie Long's.
Inside Tie Long, the mechanical and flesh were completely different.
Mechanicals were made of metal, while flesh was organic.
But for Xiao Shengyin and the others, perhaps due to insufficient metal content in their bodies or perhaps due to different principles of mechanization.
The mechanical parts inside them were made up largely of flesh and organic materials.
Gears, engines, wires, pistons made of flesh and organic materials were rapidly operating and growing, appearing rather creepy and bizarre.
"Indeed, it contains the power of the Demon Nemesis..."
Seeing this, Su Yu had no more doubts.
After more than ten minutes, the transformations of Xiao Shengyin and the others finally ceased.
The three simultaneously opened their eyes and saw Su Yu and the others outside the container.
"Mr. Su Yu, Tie Long, Xie Yitian..."
The three spoke weakly.
Seeming to have clear consciousness, they immediately recognized the three.
Seeing this, Su Yu felt slightly relieved, then asked, "How do you three feel physically now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shengyin and the other two quickly closed their eyes to sense their conditions.
A moment later, they all opened their eyes with astonishment.
In the next instant, their whole bodies shook, and strong Spiritual Energy surged, shattering the medical containers.
"What... What is happening? So strong! I feel like I've become several times stronger!"
"Why has the inside of my body changed like this? But it feels strong!"
"I seem to have reached eight stars?"
The three erupted with an incredibly powerful aura, all with faces full of disbelief.
Clearly, a second earlier, they were extremely weak, but now, each was full of vigor.
Not only were their injuries completely healed, but their strength also seemed greatly increased.
Originally eight-star level Xiao Shengyin's aura seemed to be nearing nine stars.
Qi Chen and Shao Lan both seemed to have progressed from seven stars to the eight-star level.
Seeing the three like this, Su Yu was also pleasantly surprised.
It seemed this peculiar mechanization greatly enhanced their power!
If no other hidden dangers were discovered later, this mechanization could become a shortcut for power enhancement.
And if the remaining millions in Mechanical City all mechanized, who knows to what extent their power would amplify?
