Meng Chao heard faint cracking sounds from the bones in his arms.
Activating his spirit energy magnetic field repeatedly caused his spirit energy reserves to fall to rock bottom.
Gao Ye suddenly turned around and tugged at him, causing him to stagger.
In the darkness, the Ultimate Sandworm opened its mouth, which had a diameter of more than five meters, and released a foul-smelling gust of air at Meng Chao. It blew at Meng Chao so hard that his facial features were no longer in place.
"Let go. Don't force me. I don't want to hurt you," Gao Ye said.
In the depths of the dark cave was Gao Ye, who had the body of an aquatic dragon. He looked like a demon who crawled out of hell.
Meng Chao's skin crawled.
The nightmare and reality overlapped with each other.
Even though the current Gao Ye was definitely not as strong as the Supernatural Entity in his previous life, he had not evolved to the limit yet.
He had yet to evolve to the limit. Just like the White Spirit, he was still an incomplete form.
But even if he was incomplete, he was not someone Meng Chao, who was a two-star superhuman, could fight against.
Meng Chao only hoped that the network here was good enough so that Lu Siya could accurately locate his coordinates.
At the same time, he braced himself and said, "I-I don't want to hurt you either. Gao Ye, turn back. It's not too late yet!"
"The chance to personally experience a consciousness transfer is a rare one. Since I've already taken this step, there's no way I'll turn back."
Gao Ye controlled the Ultimate Sandworm's mouth and smiled again. This time, his smile was not as monstrous, but it could also be said that since he resembled a human, he looked even more monstrous.
"Besides, look at this brand new body. It's so strong, majestic, and beautiful. Aside from being able to dig through rock strata and tunnels, it also has the advantages of multiple nervous systems. I can sense that my calculative abilities and mental strength have increased by leaps and bounds. Many of the problems that have troubled me have been easily solved. Countless formulas, calculations, and recipes have appeared in the depths of my mind. This incomparable feeling is really amazing. I should have made up my mind earlier and switched to this monster body!"
"You said it yourself! This is a monster body!"
Meng Chao shouted. "Look at you, Gao Ye! Are you going to abandon your identity as a human for so-called power and intelligence?"
"I've never thought about abandoning my identity as a human, but what is the definition of a human?"
Gao Ye asked faintly. "Labor created humans, and humans continued evolving because of it. But when we transmigrated to the Other World and faced a new era filled with spirit energy and awakened superhumans, countless normal people gradually fell behind and were about to be eliminated.
"While superhumans gradually controlled human civilization and used all sorts of divine arts, secret techniques, and ultimate skills to push production efficiency to the max, countless normal people lost their rights and could no longer do labor. They couldn't find jobs that could contribute to civilization.
"They're either forced to stay at home because they have no other choice, or because it's a matter of course for them to enjoy the benefits the superhumans give them. They use all sorts of entertainment products that have no nutritional value to numb themselves.
"As time passes, the superhumans will become stronger, and all sorts of automated technology will become highly developed. Perhaps the locals of the Other World will become cheap labor, and the normal people and their descendants will find it increasingly difficult to find their place in civilization.
"Even after one hundred years have passed, superhumans are still willing to give the most basic survival benefits to normal people. Do you think that these normal people who rely on superhumans' charity to survive still have the right to be called humans?
"I know what I am now.
"Perhaps, in the eyes of the world, this deformed and ugly appearance is an out-and-out devil.
"So what? At the very least, in this form, I can think and work. My work efficiency and fighting strength won't lose to superhumans, and I can contribute to human civilization. With this, I'm definitely a proud human! "
Takano used all his might to say this.
Two powerful streams of air gushed out from the blowhole and the depths of the bloody mouth at the same time.
It sent Meng Chao flying eight meters away.
Fortunately, the soil behind him was soft, so he did not suffer any internal injuries.
But Gao Ye's mental power was like a tidal wave that continuously crashed into Meng Chao's mind, causing Meng Chao to be unable to help himself but sink into the strange logic of spirit energy deviation.
"Besides, when the difference between the two sides is so great, do you really think that superhumans will be unprincipled, limitless, and forever fight for the welfare of normal people?"
Gao Ye smiled coldly. "Since ancient times, humans have never been a single entity, and they have never been equal. Even in the past hundreds of years, when Earth showed the illusion that everyone was equal, it wasn't because of the benevolence, kindness, and justice of those in power, but because of the development of technology and the appearance of firearms. It allowed a stinky farmer who had been training for a few months to use a cheap bullet to end the life of a knight with a noble bloodline, who had been training for decades in a dazzling armor.
"If the stinky farmer didn't have a gun in his hand, the knight wouldn't have hugged him and even slapped his chest to show that he was willing to fight for the farmer.
"But times have changed, Meng Chao. Times have changed.
"Transmigration, the appearance of spirit energy, and supernatural abilities have brought us into a new era of knights.
"The knights of the new era are superhumans who control the power of destruction. They are much stronger than the armored knights of the old era. Forget about a bullet, even if a normal person controls an airplane, a cannon, or an entire aircraft carrier, they might not be able to threaten a superhuman's life.
"If we let supernatural powers continue developing, the difference between superhumans and normal people will soon be one hundred times greater than the difference between armored knights and farmers in the middle ages. At that time, 'all humans are born equal' will become a complete joke, and our civilization will fall into an abyss that is one hundred times darker than the middle ages.
"If we want to completely solve this problem, we can't rely on the kindness, justice, and morals of superhumans. We can't believe in bullsh * t like superhumans are the sabers of human civilization or the blood of the strong flows for the weak. We can only rely on the farmers themselves.
"The farmers of the new era must find the bullet of the new era to keep the knights of the new era in check.
"I'm this bullet.
"As long as consciousness transferring technology becomes relatively mature, normal people can become like me at any moment. Those peerless fighters who stand above us will definitely think about how superhumans and normal people should get along, right?"
Once Gao Ye finished speaking, he moved his body and crawled into the depths of the maze.
"Wait!"
Meng Chao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only shout at the top of his lungs, "Gao Ye, the right starting point might not be able to reach the right destination. Even if your ideals are great and noble, during the process of carrying them out, they will definitely change.
"D-Didn't you say that the monster nervous system will interfere with a human's consciousness?
"Look at you right now. You don't even have a proper brain. No matter how thick the Ultimate Sandworm's nerve cords are, will they really be able to carry your consciousness and thought processes and not change even after five years?
"That's impossible! Your experiment will definitely fail!
"Right now, your consciousness has just been transferred over. Of course you can still maintain a clear sense of self and outstanding thought processes. In fact, you can use the brand new nervous system to increase your calculative abilities and mental strength.
"But just like how organ transplants have rejection reactions, soul transplants will also be distorted and rejected.
"Trust me, you won't be able to maintain your current state for long. Soon, your memories will be stripped away layer by layer, your consciousness will continue distorting, and your soul will shatter. You will be repeatedly invaded by monster instincts.
"In the end, you will forget everything. You will forget your identity as a human, your noble ideals, and your solemn promises. You will turn into a monster, a super monster that is even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast!"
Gao Ye stopped squirming again.
He tilted his head and thought about Meng Chao's words.
"Don't tell me you won't!"
Meng Chao shouted fiercely. "You said it yourself that this is the first time you've sent your consciousness completely into the Ultimate Sandworm's neural network. It's impossible for you to be 100% successful!"
Gao Ye was silent for half a second.
Then, he put on a smile that resembled a human again.
"That's right, I will fail," he said faintly.
"There is a certain chance that I will forget my identity as a human, my noble ideals, and my solemn promises. I will become … a real monster.
"But it's fine. It's the same."
Meng Chao was stunned. "Wh-What do you mean by 'it's fine. It's the same'?"
"Failure is the mother of success. Someone has to take the first step. In the next few days, I will write an experiment log every day and record the changes in my memories, thoughts, and nerve reactions. I will also record the entire process of me turning from a human to a monster. Perhaps one of these days, before I completely lose my sense of self, I will publish all my experiment data. There will always be someone who will continue down the path I open," Gao Ye said.
"As for 'it's fine, it's all the same'? It's very simple. I just need to become a bullet that can pose a sufficient threat to superhumans. Even if I turn into a complete monster, I can still pose a great threat to superhumans and allow normal people to have the 'final method' to fight against superhumans. That's enough, isn't it?"
"What?"
Meng Chao was dumbfounded.
He did not expect that this was the truth behind Gao Ye's descent into a Supernatural Entity.
Meng Chao did not know what else he could say to stall for time when he faced Gao Ye, who had sunk into his own logic and could not get out of it.
Fortunately, at that moment, he could vaguely sense a few powerful vitality magnetic fields approaching him from above.
Gao Ye let out a cold snort from his pores.
His body swelled up bit by bit, and countless spikes shot out of his folds.
Lu Siya and the reinforcements had not managed to venture deep into the place.
Gao Ye opened his bloody mouth, aimed at the rock wall above his head, and blasted out an incomparably powerful air cannon.
Boom!
The rock stratum above them caved in on a large scale.
Tens of millions of tons of rocks and soil fell down from the sky.
