Chapter 718 Sofia Cell
The matter with Bizamo thus came to a close, and Duan didn't feel too much grief. After all, no matter how good Bizamo was, it was just an individual life form without the "heart" of a human.
That's right, no "heart."
During this time, Duan never stopped researching Bizamo. Although he couldn't be certain if Bizamo had deceived him verbally, he had discovered that Bizamo possessed a strong desire for reproduction.
This is also why he did not conduct proliferation experiments on Bizamo without authorization—
If such an artificial lifeform spread, it could potentially have irreversible effects on the entire base.
Now...
No matter what exactly happened, he considered it a resolved worry.
As Sun Wukong said, greenhouse gases are emitted by humans, so it must be up to humans themselves to solve the problem, rather than relying on artificial lifeforms from outer space.
"I have more research on Sofia,"
Chu Xuan began to speak, drawing everyone's attention, "According to our previous speculations, this creature has a mother body that shares a single will, and its sub-bodies can merge with anything and transform into monsters, even recording monster information to directly form recorded synthetic beasts." Help us continue by reading at the source: MV2LEMPYR.
"Now, we have a new discovery."
Chu Xuan took out a storage disk and had Nori play the images inside.
Soon, on the big screen in the combat conference room, appeared the scene of Chu Xuan experimenting on Sofia fragments—
Chu Xuan was continuously using electric currents to stimulate the Sofia fragments. Under different voltages, the fragments underwent different changes, transforming into the cellular structures of many monsters.
Among them were the familiar King Molator and Kirialod people.
The rest they didn't recognize, perhaps they were monsters from the universe.
"As you all can see, this information is stored within the Sofia's cells and is likely shared. And different current stimulations cause different changes."
"Different voltages are equivalent to different choice buttons."
Chu Xuan calmly analyzed, "In the future, when we encounter Sofia Synthetic Beasts, we can use electric current attacks to cause the synthetic beasts to self-decompose. Because the cells of the synthetic beast's predecessors, those monsters, are inconsistent and may even conflict with each other."
Nori exclaimed, "Yes, although Sofia can merge with any matter, even self-merge, once a synthetic beast is formed, the cells become fixed!"
Monsters, too, are life forms!
Although Sofia can transform into any Sofia Synthetic Beast based on information, the cells within a synthetic beast certainly cannot be consistent.
Once a conflict occurs, there's no need for Tiga to take action; the synthetic beast will collapse on its own!
"Currently, this is just preliminary research, and the research materials are only those Sofia fragments. To face a real Sofia Synthetic Beast, we might need to find one to test," Chu Xuan suggested.
"Unfortunately, Sofia was once again eradicated by Tiga and another Ultraman," Duan sighed.
"What are you saying?" Zongfang admonished, "If it weren't for Tiga and another Ultraman, the Earth might have been enveloped by Sofia."
"Speaking of which, should we give the other Ultraman a name?" Nori asked.
"Let's call him Ultraman!" Xin Cheng proposed steadily.
"You've given up on the Giant Mountain Overpower name?" Duan laughed.
"Whether it's Ultraman or Giant Mountain Overpower, both names are too long and not catchy. Why not call it Next, or Nexus," Lina suggested, "Putting aside Belial, Toregia, and that strange female giant Camilla, the red, silver, and blue giant seems like the second guardian after Tiga."
Da Gu looked towards Zheng Zha, who then said, "NEXT is a bit vague; better to call him Dyna."
"Dyna?"
Kujima Megumi glanced at Zheng Zha, "That name is pretty good, let's go with Dyna."
Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Dyna wouldn't be given a strange name.
Moreover, the names Next and Nexus seem to belong to other Ultramen, and he didn't want to borrow them.
"Captain, what about Asuka Kazama?"
With that question, a lively atmosphere dissipated in the combat conference room.
"Asuka Kazama, that mysterious pilot who vanished within the light?" Duan was the first to speak, "I can't believe he actually came back alive... but what was that mysterious light?"
"The light itself isn't important; the important thing is that he returned to Earth," Kujima Megumi stated seriously, "Currently, he's recuperating since a leg was shot through by Zhengmu Jingwu..."
Mentioning Zhengmu Jingwu made several people in the combat conference room fall silent.
That arrogant guy actually planned to control Ultraman's power, and he even succeeded—although there's no conclusive evidence, according to the analysis of that Light Genetic Factor Transmuter, the giant who resembled Tiga about seventy percent and fought Dyna was transformed by Zhengmu Jingwu.
He truly mastered the power of the giant of light!
"The power of light isn't something current humans can handle," Kujima Megumi said gravely to Chu Xuan, "Don't do anything foolish, Chu Xuan."
"Rest assured, Captain, I know my limits and won't meddle with unknown technology," Chu Xuan lied, diverting to another topic, "By the way, we have another specific case concerning Sofia here."
Everyone's gaze shifted to Wu Ye.
It was obvious; this human who fused with Sofia's cells was the specific case Chu Xuan mentioned, wasn't it?
"Uh, don't look at me like that, I'm a bit scared." Wu Ye shrank and tightened his grip around his chest.
"You do have a sense of humor." Zhao Yingkong couldn't help but say.
"Not bad," Wu Ye smiled.
"Wu Ye, fused with Sofia, his entire body underwent a transformation, possessing a weakened version of Sofia's abilities, even capable of directly absorbing various cosmic rays to survive," Chu Xuan stated without any emotional inflection, "In a certain sense, he can no longer be considered human."
"Does he also have the ability to turn into a monster?" Duan asked nonchalantly, "If so, that would be very dangerous and might destroy the entire base."
Though it sounded disingenuous and even a bit alarmist, Duan, Xin Cheng, and even Zongfang felt that the current Wu Ye was a bit dangerous.
Since he was a human fused with Sofia... who knows if one day he'll be assimilated fully and become a real monster, they wouldn't even know how they might die then.
No one wants a teammate behind them suddenly getting controlled and shooting at them.
Da Gu said, "I don't think we should discuss this because he survived by relying on his own will and has taken control of the Sofia inside his body."
