Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1816

1816 Monster City

Meng Chao fell silent.

He had spared no effort in fighting for the future ever since he awakened his apocalyptic memories.

However, it was also by chance that he was swept into the whirlpool of the storm and pushed to a lonely peak by the stormy waves.

Yet, even today, he was not confident that he could be a qualified leader, or rather, a chess player who could send tens of millions of chess pieces to the line of death without changing his expression.

Compared to him, Lu Siya was indeed more suitable and more willing to play such a role.

“Modifying a monster’s genes and implanting human brain cells into a monster’s brain, causing the monster to show some human traits, will obviously bring about a lot of problems in terms of human ethics and practical use.”

Su Mulian continued, “With the increase in intelligence, the monsters’ ability to fight independently improved greatly, but more delicate emotions and even free will also silently grew in the depths of their brains.

“And monsters with 1% human genes, were they monsters or humans?

“What if there was a mix of 2%, 3%, or even 99%?

“This problem, which was enough to disintegrate or redefine the word ‘human,’ also became a high wall that everyone pretended not to see before Dragon City’s expedition.

“To control these monsters that had been implanted with human genes and become smarter, under Lu Siya’s lead, Dragon City’s genetic researchers and biochemistry experts developed a technology called Group Telepathy. This technology implanted multiple chips with super-micro rune arrays into the brains of humans and monsters at the same time. This allowed humans and monsters to share their vision and senses. It also allowed humans to send commands directly to the central nervous system of monsters through a wireless network. It made monsters an extension of the human will, allowing humans to control the monsters as if they were their own limbs.

“Compared to traditional remote control technology, Group Telepathy technology not only let humans receive all the information about the monsters more directly and meticulously, but it also had extremely strong anti-interference abilities. As long as the distance between humans and monsters was not more than thirty to fifty meters, they could withstand the spirit energy storm created by Holy Light mages and fight in a way similar to telepathy.

“This technology revolutionized the fighting concept of Dragon City’s expeditionary army.

“From then on, the smallest combat unit of Dragon City’s expeditionary army consisted of one soldier and three to five monsters.

“Soldiers and monsters were not only partners. To a certain extent, they also formed a ‘group of life’ that had multiple bodies but shared the same will. Their combat power and agility were both greatly improved.

“However, there was a flaw in this technology.

“When the human’s will invaded the monster’s brain, the monster’s perception and thinking pattern would also affect the human at all times.

“As a result, as the war continued to intensify, the human soldiers became more and more irascible, easily angered, rude, brutal, and… they became more and more like a monster.

“Of course, this might not have been a problem with the Group Telepathy technology.

“It’s also possible that it was the war itself, the bloody battles, the witnessing of our comrades’ heads being blasted open every day, and the repetitive, mechanical killings that turned human beings into monsters.

“In short, in the near future, the Dragon City civilization led by Lu Siya will become completely different from today due to long-term war.

“If you suddenly transmigrate to the future today, you may be shocked to find out that the boundary between the Dragon City civilization and the monster civilization has long become blurred and even disappeared.

“It’s like… It’s like the Dragon City civilization, which has been advancing triumphantly all the way, was unknowingly revived by the monster civilization…”

Su Mulian did not continue.

Meng Chao understood what she was trying to say.

“Are you trying to say that I’m ‘taking over the magpie’s nest?’”

Meng Chao said, “In fact, as humans become more and more dependent on monsters, the number of monsters, their intelligence, and their influence will continue to increase. In the end, something similar to the ‘smart machine crisis’ will happen, and a large number of monsters will awaken. Will they then become the masters of Dragon City’s civilization?”

“No, I’m not saying that.”

Su Mulian glanced at Lu Siya and sighed. “If I wanted to sow discord between you two, I would have made it clear.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t see a large-scale rebellion, enslavement, or the destruction of humanity in the nightmare.

“Even though Lu Siya implemented crazy modifications on Dragon City’s civilization when measured by Earth’s standards and she crossed the line, there was also plenty of opposition within Dragon City. They cursed her day and night with the most intense words and attacked her with the most extreme methods. They even called her the Monster Queen and saw her as the puppet, incarnation, and successor of the monster mastermind.

“Even I couldn’t agree entirely with the transformation she implemented on Dragon City’s civilization. But at that time, it seemed that she had no other choice.

“Aside from that, let’s be honest. Until the destruction, she had faithfully carried out her duties as a leader. She fought side by side with all the people of Dragon City until the last moment.

“What?”

This time, Meng Chao was even more confused. “Since there wasn’t a large-scale monster rebellion similar to the ‘smart machine crisis,’ how did the Dragon City civilization get destroyed?”

“It was the Holy Light faction’s ultimate weapon.”

Su Mulian’s face was filled with confusion and fear as she muttered, “Rather, it was the gods of the Holy Light faction who personally destroyed the Dragon City civilization, the Chaos faction, and even… the entire Other World.”

“Huh?

“What do you mean?” Meng Chao cried out involuntarily.

“I dreamed… No, I remember, at that time, thanks to Lu Siya’s ‘monstrous’ transformation of the Dragon City civilization, although our civilization had become unrecognizable, our combat power had indeed advanced by leaps and bounds. The new Dragon City people not only had monster-like physiques, but they could also control floods of steel. They could also control an overwhelming monster horde through Group Telepathy.

Su Mulian said, “Faced with the torrents of destruction that had never appeared in the past ten thousand years of war in the Other World, the Holy Light had begun to lose all their battles.

“Cities shrouded in Holy Light fell one after another. The melodious chanting of mages was torn to pieces by the deafening roars of the runic machines.

“Elven forests were set on fire one after another by the incendiary bombs launched by our railway guns. The slender, elegant, and noble elves who could have lived a thousand years, danced and wailed in the raging flames.

“The dwarfs’ complex network of caves were either blocked, collapsed, or drained of all the oxygen by us. The dwarfs that used to appear and disappear unpredictably and harass mankind without leaving any traces now became food for the snakes, insects, rats, and ants that lived below the ground as well.”
