“This is the true form of the Cyclops? It looks no different from the Silver Liquid outside,” Fran inquired.
He understood that the Cyclops' transformation project was fundamentally based on the body tissues of the mechanical nemesis. According to the characteristics of the mechanical nemesis, this type of Silver Liquid could freely split and change shape. In other words, the silver-white large dog in the laboratory should be chemically identical to the Silver Liquid at the portal of Zone Seven's main battlefield.
In this case, what is there to distinguish?
Hearing Fran's confusion, Wei Tian merely smiled lightly.
“I haven’t completely transformed the Cyclops into a second mechanical nemesis.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that the current Cyclops is not entirely composed of the tissue samples from the mechanical nemesis.”
At this point, Wei Tian pointed to the silver-white large dog in the laboratory.
“This body contains not only the tissue samples of the mechanical nemesis but also the Cyclops' skeleton and brain. The toxin effect of eternal night's sleep is indeed very powerful, but with just the skeleton and brain, the Cyclops can withstand the corrosion effect of eternal night's sleep using super destiny fight and the flesh and blood chapter. Therefore, I did not alter the Cyclops' brain and skeleton; I merely replaced the Cyclops' flesh with Silver Liquid, that’s all.”
Wei Tian's explanation seemed simple, but the entire transformation process took a full eight years, and the hardships and difficulties were probably clear only to those involved.
Regarding scientific theories, Fran didn't understand much. At this moment, after hearing Wei Tian's statements, he decisively chose not to delve deeper. He glanced at the Cyclops and the Silver Liquid in the main battlefield and spoke again.
“So what’s the current situation?”
“It’s simple. The current body of the Cyclops is rather special. He can control his body, and we can say that the Silver Liquid on him can split, allowing his consciousness to be placed on the separated Silver Liquid. The main body is asleep, but the consciousness controls the Silver Liquid in the outside world. This is just to provide an extra layer of security for the main body.”
The Cyclops was not a second mechanical nemesis—he still had a brain and skeleton. In other words, within this transformed body, there remained a fatal weakness.
Of course, this fatal weakness would not be easy to find. The "flesh" on the surface of the Cyclops could change its properties at will; whether it's energy attacks or physical attacks, the Silver Liquid outside had means of defense. However, if relying solely on the Silver Liquid could solve the problem, why would the Cyclops reveal his weakness to the enemy?
Wei Tian's explanation was straightforward, and Fran simply listened. These questions were not important. What truly mattered to Fran was another question.
“Just tell me directly, can the current Cyclops deal with that big guy outside?”
The "big guy" naturally referred to the mechanical nemesis. Although Wei Tian was full of confidence, Fran still felt a bit uneasy when it came to the moment of truth.
After all, the strength of the mechanical nemesis was too overwhelming.
Upon hearing this question, Wei Tian smiled instead.
“It’s quite easy... perhaps I should say, the Cyclops can deal with the mechanical nemesis even more easily than with the clone bodies!”
Fran narrowed his eyes, waiting for Wei Tian to explain further.
“You might not fully understand the operating principle of the mechanical nemesis. Unlike the black tortoise war god, the mechanical nemesis does not have a controller behind it. It is neither a mecha nor a mechanical creation; it is more akin to a silicon-based life form, possessing its own ideology. According to my observations, every particle within the mechanical nemesis has a master control core…”
“You might not quite get it; just think of the mechanical nemesis as a massive aggregation of tiny mechanical units. It’s somewhat similar to the tribal will entity.”
