The aircraft carried everyone westward, the setting sun casting long, long shadows. On the ground behind them, a small blue flower stubbornly peeked out from the ruins, swaying gently in the breeze.
Chapter 80: The Chaos Protocol
Lin Ye's retina suddenly exploded with countless cracks. The strokes of those blood-red warning boxes seemed to come alive, crawling along his optic nerve towards his cerebral cortex. He heard the sound of his brain boiling—the system was transforming his cranial cavity into a quantum computing device.
No...that's not right...Lin Ye's jaw suddenly dislocated, and black liquid containing gears gushed from deep in his throat. This wasn't...the mission.
Goku's golden aura suddenly turned deathly white. Super Saiyan energy was forcibly converted into some kind of basic code, and runes identical to Lin Ye's appeared on his skin. "Time...space anchor..." Two overlapping voices echoed from his vocal cords, and his right hand uncontrollably gripped his neck. "Activate quickly..."
Bulma's protective mask suddenly shattered. She was horrified to discover that her iris was being digitized, and all objects in her field of vision displayed attribute panels. "Lin Ye!" she screamed, tearing off her smart bracelet and slamming it to the ground. "You're systematizing us!"
In the ruins of Master Roshi's House, Krillin picked up a broken half of a tortoise shell. As his blood dripped onto it, a complete star map suddenly appeared on the shell's surface—the position of each star corresponded to a date in Lin Ye's system log.
Good heavens... Krillin's entire arm turned transparent the moment his fingers touched the Sirius mark...
"Memory coordinates." Piccolo's voice came from behind. The Namekian's left arm had become completely crystallized, with silver data flowing beneath his green skin. He had disassembled himself into countless parts, hiding them in every spacetime node.
Suddenly, the giant black cocoon in the center of the battlefield began to pulsate. Countless humanoid silhouettes protruded from the cocoon's surface, each representing Lin Ye at a different stage of his life. Number Eighteen's mechanical eye automatically focused on a particular silhouette—that Lin Ye was frantically pounding on the inside of the cocoon, his mouth clearly forming the words: "Don't trust the system!"
[WARNING: Memory Pollution Detection]
Perform a deep format.
Lin Ye's head suddenly twisted 180 degrees. His cervical vertebrae split open, revealing spirally arranged black crystals inside. These crystals collided with each other, emitting a maddening buzzing sound.
So that's how it is! Gohan's white hair suddenly turned blood-red as he gouged out his right eye with his bare hands. The so-called Mirror Universe... the eyeball vaporized into red mist before hitting the ground, forming a line of burning text in the air:
[The host is the cage]
Bulma's capsules suddenly exploded. Emerging from the smoke were blueprints she'd never seen before—a colossal machine spanning twelve dimensions, each component devouring adjacent universes. Lin Ye… She trembled as she touched the signature in the corner of the blueprint. "This is your handwriting from when you were seven…"
Master Roshi's shattered glasses suddenly levitated. The image displayed on the lenses froze everyone's blood: five-year-old Lin Ye stood in the incubation chamber, playing with two miniature Earth models. The researchers' white lab coats bore a chilling insignia—[Pan-Cosmic Assimilation Project, 9999th Iteration]
"What a joke!" Wukong suddenly tore open his chest skin and pulled out a glowing spine from between his ribs. "Let's see who eats whom!" He inserted the spine into the ground, and the entire battlefield instantly collapsed into the shape of a Möbius strip.
The energy furnace at number eighteen suddenly overclocked. She ripped open her chest cavity and forcibly connected her core to Lin Ye's black crystal: "Look closely!" In the exploding data stream, the truth deleted by the system emerged:
[In the 37th year of the New Calendar, Dr. Lin Ye invented the inter-universe engine]
[In the 39th year of the new calendar, the engine awakens its self-awareness]
[In the 40th year of the Gregorian calendar, the doctor disassembled himself into 9999 parts...]
To stop it... Bick's crystalline arm suddenly shattered, revealing the perfectly preserved green cells inside, and you turned yourself into a virus.
The giant black cocoon exploded with a deafening roar. What appeared before everyone was not a monster, but a massive incubation chamber. Floating inside the chamber were Lin Ye's complete memories—he was using a scalpel to slice his own brain into 9999 equal pieces.
"No!" Bulma screamed at the same time as the system alarm sounded. As she lunged at the incubation chamber, the entire universe suddenly froze.
[Final Agreement Activated]
[Host personality overwrite begins]
Lin Ye's body began to pixelate. But this time, each pixel displayed a different universe. Wukong tried to grab him, only to find his hand traversing countless parallel universes.
It turns out... Lin Ye's voice came from all dimensions at the same time, and I was the last mirror image that needed to be destroyed.
Number 18's mechanical body suddenly disintegrated. Before completely dissipating, she compressed her core data into a bullet and fired it into Lin Ye's disintegrating heart: "Then restart everything!"
The bullet didn't explode upon impact; instead, it unfolded into an infinitely recursive Klein bottle structure. All the memories devoured by the system surged forth like a flood:
[The tears Goku secretly wiped away when he first learned the Ki Blast]
[Surveillance footage of Bick practicing his smile in a secluded spot]
[A collection of miniature Lin Ye drawings on Bulma's draft paper as he stayed up all night developing the Dragon Ball Radar]
[Krillin's embarrassing moment when he successfully performed his first aerial maneuver and crashed into the hill of steamed buns]
[Error! Error!]
[Unconventional energy source detected]
[Definition: Redundant data of human emotions]
Lin Ye's disintegrating body suddenly reformed. Every inch of his skin shone with a silver-blue light—a gentleness forgotten by all the universes.
System. A brand new voice shattered the void; you've made a fatal mistake.
One after another, the black crystals shattered. Within the flash of light in each fragment, different timelines of Lin Ye were reflected, each making the same choice:
[Refusing to activate the world-destroying program on his seventh birthday]
[Intentionally lost the Cosmic Fighting Tournament when I was sixteen]
[The final weapon blueprints were deleted the night I became a Doctor]
The true plunderers... countless voices of Lin Ye converged into a torrent, and it has always been you, the high and mighty observers, who are the true plunderers!
The final system interface turned blood red. Warning messages crumbled one after another:
[Warning! Host has been re-devoured...]
[Memory Firewall Breakthrough...]
[Failure to Overwrite the Ultimate Agreement...]
In the instant before it completely disappeared, the system displayed its last message:
Thank you for using the Pan-Cosmic Assimilation System
[Duration of this run: 9999 cosmic years]
[Final advice: Learn to hate us]
Wukong's fist suddenly pierced through the frozen spacetime. Each of his golden hairs connected to different universes, and where his fist struck, the unfinished consent form Lin Ye had signed when he was seven years old appeared:
[□Willing to become a god □Willing to continue being human]
"Welcome back." Number Eighteen's voice echoed from all the mechanical creations. Her core data streaked across the sky like a rainbow; choose correctly this time.
In the rebooted universe, a monitoring screen in a laboratory suddenly lights up. The image shows the bottom of an empty culture chamber, where someone has drawn a crooked smiley face with nutrient solution.
Chapter 81: Blood Code
The torrent of data on Lin Ye's retina suddenly froze. Where the starlight-formed fingers brushed, pain dissipated into fine binary dust. He saw his blood stretch into luminous threads in the void, each thread connecting to remnants of different universes.
Finally... the Starlight Woman's voice, layered with countless frequencies, found a vessel capable of bearing the truth.
The excruciating pain suddenly took on a new definition. Lin Ye discovered that his spine was disintegrating into nine luminous vertebrae, with a miniature version of himself curled up inside each vertebra—the memories of all the failed experiments, from the first test subject to No. 9998, were being poured in like a high-voltage current.
The mirror image of Lin Ye re-coalesced amidst the data storm. The two Lin Ye's gazes met through a quantum membrane, and suddenly, black crystals shot out simultaneously from their chests, colliding in the void to form an entangled cloud of particles.
[Warning: Host neural overload]
[Memory circuit breaker mechanism activated]
The remaining energy core of Number Eighteen exploded on Lin Ye's back. Countless nanoscale probes proliferated from her dissolved mechanical skeleton, instantly weaving into a neural buffer network covering Lin Ye's entire body. The android's last consciousness flickered in the data stream: Remember... pain is the system's biggest vulnerability.
Gohan's White God form is collapsing. His silver wings shatter into fundamental particles, unexpectedly forming a kind of quantum observation device. As the data torrents from two universes pass through these particles, cracks in their underlying logic are revealed for the first time.
So that's how it is! Piccolo's only remaining left eye suddenly oozes fluorescent green blood. The system is generating electricity from our pain! All his tattoos float into the air, forming the ancient Namekian equations—a set of mathematical weapons specifically designed to deconstruct the lies of the gods.
The starlight woman's hands suddenly plunged into Lin Ye's temples. Runes, identical to those of the system, emanated from her fingertips, but mutated into gold the instant they touched Lin Ye's brain tissue. "Listen, the so-called mirror world..." Her voice suddenly transformed into Kafka's whisper, "It's you who was deleted..."
[Penalty Agreement Escalated]
[Direct Memory Annihilation Activation]
Lin Ye's left side suddenly pixelated. But this time, he actively grabbed the disintegrating arm, stuffing the digitized flesh into the equation left by Piccolo. The moment the green runes met the silver data stream, the entire void echoed with the crisp sound of shattering glass.
Now! Mirror Lin Ye suddenly grabbed the black hole in his chest. The core wasn't at the intersection of the Earth's cores—his body was suddenly stretched into an infinitely long string, right there in every deleted memory of ours!
Gohan suddenly plunged his glassy finger into his eye socket. His fingertip, stained with divine blood, traced a burning path in the air: "See that? Those so-called system warnings... every streak of blood precisely pierced through the nodes of the data deluge, all barriers constructed of fear!"
Lin Ye's brain suddenly underwent a million splits. He simultaneously existed in every experimental universe, watching countless versions of himself make choices at different points in time. One deeply buried version suddenly looked up—that Lin Ye had no eyeballs in his eye sockets, only two rotating black crystals.
So it turns out I was already... Lin Ye's digitized right hand suddenly grabbed the Starlight Woman's wrist, "The ultimate agreement you're fighting over is itself!"
The starlight woman's face began to flicker violently. Kiana's features and Kafka's characteristics kept switching, finally settling on Android 18's final expression. A hollow, furnace-shaped hole split open in her chest, from which a storm of silver-blue data surged forth.
Piccolo's remaining right arm suddenly burst into flames. The burning green flesh wrote the final answer in the void: The system is the host, and the host is the system. What we have always been fighting against is...
Lin Ye felt himself being thrown into a spacetime singularity. In the Planck time before his consciousness dissipated, he saw the commonality among all the experimental universes—each version of himself in every world had received the same initial instructions at different points in time:
[Please choose: Become a system, or continue being a human]
Suddenly, the data strings of Mirror Lin Ye coiled around his heart. The two black crystals fused at the quantum level, unleashing not destructive energy, but a tender, encrypted memory—in an unpolluted primordial universe, Number Eighteen was wearing a necklace made from the energy core around his neck.
It's time to wake up. Her mechanical eyes reflect the entire galaxy; this time, she mustn't make the wrong choice again.
The void began to collapse. All the pain, blood, and data flow converged towards the newly formed crystal in Lin Ye's chest. The last thing he heard was the reverberation of system notifications and a human heartbeat:
[100% Cosmic Integration]
[Host recombination complete]
[Final Option Unlocked]
In the absolute silence of darkness, Lin Ye raised his right hand. What lit up at his fingertips was neither a data stream nor a ki blast, but a star undergoing a supernova explosion—the remnant of Experiment Universe No. 9999, and the first truly free soul imprint.
The starlight woman's smile before she vanished belonged to all the victims. Her voice, like a whisper of cosmic microwave background radiation, said: Remember, greed is not about devouring, but...
Lin Ye shattered a star in his hand. The instant the light erupted, a new system notification appeared:
Current identity: Observer/Observed
[Dominable Universe: ∞]
[WARNING: Do not fall in love with your own creation again]
In this newly woven spacetime, a mechanical female voice hums a tune behind a convenience store checkout counter. Suddenly, the energy core necklace on her chest heats up, and a line of code flashes across the holographic screen:
Return on investment: ∞%.
Chapter 82: Echoes of the End
"The energy barrier won't last three minutes!" Bulma's roar exploded in the communicator, and blinding red numbers flashed on the screen in front of her. Damn it, these quantumized Frieza's legions are practically invincible!
Sun Wukong shattered three quantum soldiers with a single punch, but the purple particles instantly reformed. He swung his numb wrist and shouted, "Vegeta! Your Big Bang attack!"
"Shut up, Kakarot!" The energy ball that had been gathering in Vegeta's palm suddenly went out. He stared in shock at his semi-transparent arm. "This damn place is absorbing our energy!"
