Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

A rumbling mechanical sound sounded in Peter’s ear. Although he was inside the smart mecha, he could hear the sound outside through the special device.

After Peter entered the Mechanical City, he observed the various buildings in the city through the vision system. A mechanical body that was similar to a sailboat appeared in front of him, with various sophisticated instruments operating on it.

He didn’t know what the thing in front of him was for, but below the sailboat stood a modified humanoid creature. To be precise, it was a mechanical human.

This was not the first time Peter had seen a mechanical human. Some of their lower bodies had been transformed to possess mechanical lower limbs, while others had mechanical chests.

However, Peter was now seeing a very strange mechanical human. Its entire head was filled with mechanical structures, and only the part below its head was still a normal human body.

This special modification method made people involuntarily wonder whether the person in front of them was a human or a cyborg.

Furthermore, Peter also found that the mechanical human had been looking in his direction. This made him guess that the mechanical human had discovered a weakness in him.

Just then, Peter heard No. 0’s voice.

“Master, where should I control the smart mecha to go now?”

Before entering the Mechanical City, they had discussed that once they successfully entered the city, no matter where they went, No. 0 could not make the decision on his own. He had to ask Peter in advance.

“No. 0, control your smart mecha to walk towards the mechanical human in front.”

Peter felt that the mechanical human was a little strange and wanted to walk over to test his reaction.

If the mechanical human showed no reaction, he would immediately let No. 0 operate the smart mecha and leave. However, if the other party was really observing him, he was very close to the city gate now and could leave this place as quickly as possible.

It was not that Peter was timid, but there was a very special person in this city. She was the master of the Mechanical City, the Virgin Mary.

The first Virgin Mary appeared 150 years ago. At that time, the Mechanical City had not experienced the era of war. For this reason, the strength of the Virgin Mary had not reached a terrifying level.

However, decades later, a mysterious organization suddenly appeared in the north. This organization had once stolen the blood of the Thunder God. Although Peter had never seen it with his own eyes, he had a rough understanding of the mysterious organization from the information Professor Eugene had.

This mysterious organization was the infamous Holy War Organization. Furthermore, the Bishop of the Holy War Organization had once warred against the Mechanical City. However, the Bishop had not expected that the Virgin Mary of the Mechanical City could upgrade her body.

Every Virgin Mary was born to inherit the body of the previous Virgin Mary. In layman’s terms, all the new Virgin Mary had to do was send their consciousness into the body of the previous Virgin Mary. Furthermore, such a terrifying ceremony was held every 99 years.

According to the year recorded in the history books, the Virgin Mary would be replaced this Christmas. Thus, if the Bishop of the Holy City wanted to rule the entire northern region, he had to conquer the Mechanical City before the Virgin Mary completed the handover.

However, there was less than a month before Christmas. Thus, it was very difficult to find any information about the Bishop of the Holy City attacking the mechanical city from the various pieces of information revealed.

No. 0 operated the smart mecha and walked towards the mechanical human. Peter observed the reaction of the mechanical human in front of him through the vision system. If the other party did anything unusual, he would react immediately.

The mechanical human began to move his body. His mechanical head faced the smart mecha Peter was riding. Then, his originally green mechanical eyes began to turn red as Peter approached.

At this time, the surrounding environment was very complicated. Many mechanical humans and mechas of various models were constantly moving, each running to a different destination. Peter walked towards the mechanical human without attracting the attention of the other creatures.

As he got closer and closer to the mechanical human, Peter heard No. 0’s reminder.

“Master, if the other party does anything dangerous, I will give up control of the smart mecha.”

After No. 0 finished speaking, Peter was ready to take over control of the smart mecha.

Just then, as the smart mecha and the mechanical human were about to meet, the mechanical human opposite Peter suddenly turned around and walked in the other direction. As this mechanical human left, Peter suddenly realized that the mechanical human was making a special gesture behind its back.

It was an “OK” gesture. However, the difference was that the mechanical human’s thumb and index finger did not touch each other. Instead, they were separated.

“What does this mean? No. 0, can you see the gesture of the mechanical human?”

No. 0 had been operating the smart mecha. Its perspective was the same as what Peter had seen, but Peter was asking No. 0 whether it had noticed the gesture.

“Master, I saw the hand gesture the mechanical human made after leaving. I don’t know what it means, but it looks a little like the ‘OK’ hand gesture that you humans often make.”

Peter asked No. 0 about this, but he did not have much hope. He simply asked No.0 casually. The current problem Peter faced was whether they should follow that mechanical human.

They could not walk around randomly in the Mechanical City. Every lifeform or smart machine here had a planned route. It was fine to follow a target for a short period of time, but once they followed the target for too long, the detection system in the Mechanical City would be triggered and the police would patrol the area.

Just as Peter was wondering if he should follow the mechanical human, the mechanical human, who had walked a distance away, seemed to know Peter’s concerns. It followed the route it had just left and returned.

Then, just as he was about to reach Peter, he changed his direction again and distanced himself from the smart mecha that Peter was in.

This very strange behavior from the mechanical human made Peter uncomfortable. If he stayed where he was, it wouldn’t be long before the police inspected him. This was the last thing he wanted.

Peter ignored the mechanical human for the time being. Instead, he informed No. 0 to operate the smart mecha and leave this area. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

After staying in the smart mecha for so long, Peter was a little frustrated. As an existence that had surpassed the Genetic God of War, he felt uncomfortable in this narrow space.

At that moment, he was thinking about whether those Mecha Warriors would really not have any emotional changes after staying in the mecha for such a long time.

While Peter was lost in his thoughts, No. 0 spoke again in his ear. This time, what No. 0 said made Peter’s scattered attention focus on the situation.

“Master, the Skynet just issued an important notice. It said that a temporary coronation ceremony will be held in the Mechanical City today, but it wasn’t said who the coronation ceremony was for. After checking the comments, I found that many people think that the coronation ceremony held in the Mechanical City this time might be prepared for the new Virgin Mary.”
