"Ahhhh!!"
Kappa clutched his right arm, letting out a horrific scream, his whole body collapsed to the ground, rolling endlessly, "My hand! My arm! It hurts so much, I'm in agony, my arm is gone! I'm incomplete!!"
At this moment, he no longer had the confident appearance from earlier, like a defeated dog.
"Do you become a stray dog when faced with despair?"
Lily tilted her head to look, coldly saying, "So... you deserve it?"
Buzz!
The scarlet in her eyes turned into a substance, Supreme King directly pressed down, causing the screaming Kappa's eyes to turn white, losing consciousness.
In this moment of unconsciousness, the originally rising flow of molten iron seemed to lose momentum, falling to the ground, turning into the most ordinary molten iron, slowly spreading around.
Lily gripped her sword, just about to kill this guy, but upon reconsideration, she walked towards that room emitting white light.
This guy needs to be kept; his ability is indeed good... can't be wasted.
Sizzle!
Lily sliced open the door of the room with her sword, without even looking, raising her hand again, cutting a flying bullet in half, then her figure flashed, arriving in front of the old man shooting at her, slicing down with her blade, cutting off the hand holding the gun.
At the moment the arm fell, the old man's wrist extended a cannon barrel, trying to shoot, Lily's sword returned, slicing him in half.
"Peacekeeper?"
She easily split the old man's mechanical arm in half with a sword, then glancing at the cut on the guy's waist, it was full of intricate instruments, much like the Peacekeeper encountered before in Shampodi.
"What Peacekeeper! I'm a cyborg! A cyborg!"
The old man, clearly bisected, still grit his teeth and shouted, "It's different from that Vegapunk guy; he has his technology, I have mine! It's not only Peacekeepers that are perfect, mine is perfect, because I don't need any special technology, just ordinary humans and cheap metal are enough!"
"Is that Mother Steel?"
Lily ignored him and looked toward the steel harbored in the container, seemingly growing continuously, yet its volume did not change.
Actually, she didn't need the old man's answer, the most unique thing in this room was this object. Lily walked toward the container, lifting her sword to chop.
"Not mature yet! Not complete yet! Don't chop!"
The old man quickly shouted, "Three minutes, it'll be ready in three more minutes! After three minutes, it will have a complete cycle of three hundred years!"
Lily paused, lowered the white lightning, silent but waiting.
"Hey, aren't you going to ask who I am?" the old man shouted.
"Not interested, Sage says other people's stories are theirs, we have our own path, besides listening too much can turn you into a spirited man, though I don't know what that is, I always feel it's not a good term."
Lily replied plainly, "But, there are still three minutes, instinctively I feel you're not lying."
"I'm Isaac..."
Isaac, a former member of MADS.
An illegal organization gathered by the world's most promising scientists, led by Vegapunk, also known as the 'Peace Research Institute'. Apart from the few core members, there were scientists like Isaac who seemed ordinary within the organization.
But it doesn't mean he's truly ordinary, just overshadowed by the halos of geniuses.
As a Peace Research Institute, the projects researched were essentially beneficial to humanity.
What Isaac researched was how to transform humans in a way that granted everlasting happiness.
Because the sea was too harsh.
Humans worried about what to eat each day, worked hard to find where to sleep each day.
But once transformed into cyborgs, these worries disappeared, no need to worry about hunger, no need to toil for living accommodations, just need someone to provide some energy periodically to live well.
This technology, in the end, was both a success and a failure...
The failure was that so-called cyborgs were actually robots, no different than remote-controlled machines.
The success was that humans could indeed be transformed.
The first successful transformation was Isaac himself; he retained his brain and wisdom, just partially transformed his body, gradually replacing it, yet even after transforming half, it's ultimately not permanent, so he would still age.
Only complete transformations didn't involve aging, although those transformed lost their human consciousness...
"Those ordinary humans are useless! I'm unwilling, why do they all have their specialized technologies, what's so great about that Bloodline Factor, I don't think that technology is good, machinery is eternal!"
"But eternal machinery requires an eternal energy source, materials can be replaced, but energy cannot, so I focused on Mother Steel, this thing, possesses internal infinite extending particularity, it's the most vibrant metal, the best container and converter. With it, I can have a container for storing infinite energy, able to convert anything added into it."
"Think about it, with this thing, I don't have to consider material limitations, continue researching cyborgs that can retain wisdom and emotions. If successful, I'll truly be benefiting humanity!"
"By then, Vegapunk will be under my feet, and I'll be the most genius scientist in the world!"
