056. BETA (Beta-Tier)

  After awakening new Omega Energy, Li Aozi’s gene sequerembled, his metabolism accelerated, and he could visibly see the veins bulging on his blood vessels, shedding dead skin.

  【Warning: Gene sequenstable!】

  【You have experienced a benign mutation, gene fragments are iing...】

  【Your superieic traits have emerged, please choose a dire from the following mutation options】

  Li Aozi g the mutation traits. His luck had clearly run out, and there was no perfect mutation option avaible, so he decisively used a perfect reset opportunity to reselect.

  【Reset plete】

  【Presenting to you, fwless geigineering:】

  A—【Geegration Superbrain Bio-Armor】: Yenes have taken an excellent dire for iion. Now, your mind is no longer just the puter of yenes. You trol your body temperature, and your physical body will bee a bio-armor driven by your sciousness.

  Each of your bodies will be sidered as 'bio-armor' equipment, capable of enha and modification through gene fragment transpntation and adjustments.

  Choosing to retain this trait, yenes will no longer prioritize reprodu and life tinuation. Instead, bat, intelligence, and evolutionary mutation options will increase, but the occurrence of reproductive mutation dires will decrease.

  B—【Gene Sing ? Chosen Prophet Sage】: Ss fehat enhance memory, learning, and imagination, signifitly increasing intelligence. Your ability to learn skills and knowledge will no longer have tier or level restris. All knowledge will e to you, and you only o accept it.

  Choosing to retain this trait, your 【Charisma】 attribute will vert to 【Intelligence】, greatly enhang your learning ability. However, you will iably suffer from depression, with a 90% increased risk of suicide during severe depression.

  C—【Gene Rebinatioernal Fme】: Your sciousness and genes have reached an agreement. To spread your bloodline across the world, you perform individual cell division reprodu. By removing parts of yenes, you create another offspring with indepe sciousness who will i the aenes you specify and tinue reprodug.

  Choosing to retain this trait, all your cells will have the ability to divide, but the occurrence of non-reproductive mutation dires will greatly decrease. Additionally, the rate of deformity in offspring will increase by 20%.

  ————————————

  When Li Aozi saw option A, he chose it without hesitation.

  It wasn’t that options B and C were bad, but A was simply too good.

  【Superbrain Bio-Armor】 was the most suitable mutation dire for both the 【Starfall Master】 and 【Luminous Master】 paths, bar none.

  In the 【Domination】-series professions, 【Starfall Master】 and 【Luminous Master】 are two paths with diametrically opposed studies on sciousness and the body.

  【Starfall Master】 adheres to subjective materialism—my subjective will, as long as it is strong enough, distort the objective world. My will overe, and even bee, the new physical w.

  【Luminous Master】 adheres to subjective idealism—the objective world is merely what my subjective will believes exists. The mind triumphs over matter, and the world is a holographic proje of my mind.

  【Starfall Master】 believes that will is absolute. After experieng enough memories and social status, the will naturally elevates to the level of self-dominance.

  【Luminous Master】 believes that will is free, and even without the world, the will would indepely exist.

  However, regardless of the path, both believe ihing: the human will relies on the body but must trahe body.

  The principle is simple: both paths sider geo be selfish drivers, trolling the body as a mech, while sciousness is the puter of the mech.

  Genes, will, and body—these three form a trinity that sustains life’s motion and progress.

  But within this process lies a fatal problem.

  Is the driver’s primary goal to use the mech to defeat enemies and the natural enviro? Or to explore, accumute experience, and acquire a more powerful puter system?

  No, because piloting the med acquiring a more powerful puter are just results of the driver’s as.

  The driver just wants to survive.

  In other words: Genes only sider the body and sciousness as means to pass on their sequence, and nothing else matters.

  Many people oftehat life seems meanihey were right.

  In nature, the vast majority of life is successful as long as it reproduces offspring and then die in peace.

  Fenes, life itself is meaningless. In this regard, paramecia and dragons are no different; their existence is solely for reprodu.

  It is the will that seeks to dominate life to fulfill the desires of individual will that brings meaning.

  Therefore, for the 【Starfall Master】 and 【Luminous Master】 who possess a strong desire for domination, only by making the driver submit to the puter’s trol the mech be freed from the fate of reprodu, being a more effit, powerful tool to realize the will’s power.

  Bio-armorization of the body might sound plicated at first, but iy, Professor Abyss’s many avatars are the best interpretation.

  This might sound like the ambition of a ic supervilin—but in fact, Li Aozi believes that the desire of the 【Domination】 series is not direct trol but using the means they deem appropriate to uand and transform the world.

  This isn’t domination, it’s love.

  By liberating oneself from the shackles of genes and the body, the will is elevated to a powerful dimension. No longer bound by time and life, they truly love the world and its people.

  Li Aozi was deeply moved a he was about to shed tears.

  【Geegration plete】

  【Your shell ‘Li Aozi’ has been bio-armored】

  【Specialty ? Flesh Affinity—Triggered】

  【You ow freely disable your pain and sensory systems.】

  【You cultivate new bio-armor bodies through geranspntation or transfer your sciousness into other beings.】

  His body rapidly became encased in a yer of red-bck crystals, and through 【True Sight】, he saw the name of this crystal for the first time:

  ‘Heinz Crystal’

  【You spend experieo adjust and modify the bio-armor body. The first modification is free. Do you want to begin the initial adjustment?】

  "In that case..." Li Aozi pondered, bining what he had learned from Assistant Physi Anna’s 《Doctorate-level ? Basic Pharmacology》 and his knowledge of biology, he began adjusting his body to the best of his ability.

  The red-bck Heinz Crystal pierced through his blood vessels, enveloping Li Aozi pletely like an egg-shaped incubation pod, beginning a prehensive overhaul of his body’s imperfes.

  First, he corrected his humaina, which had grown backward, and effitly structed blood supply els, allowing him to freely regute eye pressure and the lens, eliminating the possibility of myopia.

  Photoreceptor cells were realigned, causiinal shadows to instantly disappear. The brain power previously used to render and process shadows was immediately freed up, allowing the spare brain space to process various information, boosting Li Aozi’s 【Intelligetribute to 7 points.

  The human recurrent ryngeal nerve, which takes a loour around the heart’s aorta before reag the lower jaw, was directly and decisively pulled from the artery and properly shortened back.

  "This is still not enough."

  Li Aozi thought for a moment and tinued his modifications.

  The problem of varicose veins caused by long-term gravitational pressure from bipedal walking was also fixed, and the exposed reproductive ans could now be cealed to prevent them from being struck by enemies.

  The kidneys, proo crystal formation and kidones, were dramatically strengthened aructured.

  The trachea and esophagus were separated, so choking would no longer occur.

  The appendix, which had little significe before, was reactivated as a digestive support system st a rge number of beneficial bacteria.

  Endoe hormones could be freely reguted like a throttle. Adrenaline would be secreted when explosive power was needed, dopamine would be suppressed for ess, and rge amounts of dopamine and endorphins would be released for happiness.

  This body would no longer suffer from addi to any drugs; it would bee the fi bio-armor.

  Finally, Li Aozi modified his brain.

  The human brain’s left and right hemispheres, once disected by cutting the corpus , could no longer unify their uanding and trol of things.

  His brainpower had already been liberated, and the nervous system fully optimized. Now, it no longer needed partmentalization.

  【Individual assion in progress...】

  【Uhe influence of your will, genes are beginning to aggregate】

  【They attract, uand, and devour each other—eventually merging into one】

  Li Aozi’s body slowly floated into the air. He didn’t use gravity; it was the world itself gently lifting him.

  His extraordinary 【Charisma】 made the world embrace him, love him, and offer him good things without question.

  The red-bck crystal slowly dissolved, merging with his flesh and blood texture, and uhe world’s loving embrace, it gently imprinted into his skin.

  Li Aozi’s body quietly activated the Dominator Form.

  His muscles no lowisted violently but greroliferated naturally. The exoskeleton armor was covered with exquisite red-bck crystals, his body slowly elongated, and pale boes covered his body, enhang its aesthetic appeal. His skin was no longer slid sticky but hardened, appearing as if it had been scorched.

  His hair was also encased in crystals, and on his previously unremarkable head, bone spurs slowly grew, f a -like structure resembling thorns.

  【Assion plete】

  【Your lifespan +80 natural years.】

  【Tier effect: Any attack or attribute judgment from a target below your tier will be sidered only 80% effective. When you attack or judge the attributes of a target below your tier, it will be sidered 200% effective. (Beta-Tier)】

  【Dominator Form has evolved】

  【In Dominator Form, your Omega Energy bes increase by 20%, you gain 30% additional health, and your movement speed increases by 80%.】

  【Specialty ? Flesh Affinity—Triggered】

  【When in Dominator Form, bio-armor ons will alse into Dominator Form as skill extensions.】

  【You ow ie the limbs and ans of other creatures into your body to grant Dominator Form more biological traits.】

  Finally, he had advao Beta-Tier.

  The bio-armor specialties needed for 【Mutant】 were now mastered, and from here, as long as he focused oing bio-armor, he could enhance his bat power.

  Li Aozi didn’t even have time to catch his breath before he immediately opehe task panel.
