Chapter 565: Ascension! The Cyber Ascender

Psychic Energy.

A unique power born from the mind.

In the upper world, this power was even called the miracle of idealism, because in every sense, it challenged the various theorems and laws of objective reality.

The mind gave birth to all things; the mind conquered all things.

Where consciousness reached, everything in reality existed within a single thought.

In fact, within the Cyber civilization's research into psychic energy, if the power of the psychic domain could be developed to its peak, it could even achieve a thought giving rise to all life and a thought making a hundred flowers wither.

This represented a terrifying path where all things were determined by the mind, and if their psychic ascenders could reach the same pinnacle state as the God of All Machines and the Colossus back in the day, they could absolutely be called the strongest among the three ascenders.

But at the same time.

Precisely because this path was difficult enough to walk.

It also destined their road to be full of thorns, destined that it would be very difficult for them, under equal conditions, to surpass their competitors of the same era.And now.

In this Dark World, as the sole inheritor of psychic energy, he represented not only the Night Doctor but also the once-war-torn and fallen Cyber civilization.

Hum—

Almost the moment Sir Aiwen raised his head and opened his eyes, the endlessly ascending psychic energy swept through the entire battlefield in an instant.

The rumbling blood mist was blown away, like a storm, causing the entire sky to warp like a mirror surface.

And at the same time, the Three Roots also simultaneously felt that surging form of power at the edge of the battlefield, and they almost turned their heads at the same moment, directing their gazes towards the distant horizon.

"Cyber?!"

"Night Doctor!"

At that moment, seeing that figure at that instant, everyone's expressions changed.

On the distant horizon, the illusory figure leaned on his cane, walking step by step towards their direction, and with each step, the aura emanating from his body increased by one degree.

Step by step, he walked towards the battlefield.

Step by step, he strode towards the Root.

Even the ground beneath his feet, under the interference of the ascending psychic energy, began to appear like blurred, uncertain fragments of a virtual image.

Lynn stared blankly at his back.

The green-glowing data streams slowly began to transform, and his body gradually turned into a blurred outline.

Ascension!

Because he had heard Sir Aiwen say that, as the inheritor of the Cyber civilization, if he wanted to, he could also rank himself among the Roots like the other fallen ones!

But at what cost?

The Matriarch was suppressed and couldn't move, Big Brother Titan was occasionally controlled by raging fury, the God of All Machines was also bound by the chains of the curse—almost every Root creature that had appeared so far suffered from the affliction of the curse's chaos.

At what cost?

Sir Aiwen raised his head, speaking slowly to Lynn behind him:

"I will temporarily rank myself among the Roots, but my power level can't be raised to the same height as Intelligence Machine or the Flesh and Blood Dominator. However, it should be enough to balance this war."

"My curse is a bit different. The Matriarch used to help me suppress it, so I basically never left Nightfall City. But now that I'm here, now that I'm here, there's no other choice."

He slightly turned his face, the corner of his eye's light reflecting Lynn.

His faintly glowing finger flicked.

Lynn reached out and caught the thing Sir Aiwen had flicked over. Opening his hand to look, he was immediately stunned, because it was a chip-like object, something strange between the virtual and the real.

And the panel for that object instantly appeared before his eyes.

【Psychic Chip】: Crafted by Sir Aiwen, an integrated chip that copies a large amount of his memory, along with the core technology of Cyber civilization and the psychic system.

Lynn was immediately shaken.

Sir Aiwen rubbed the edge of his brow, his green eyes glowing with the light of ascension.

"Keep it safe, don't lose it. All the other components that Intelligence Machine needs to seek for the Trinity are inside this little chip. Besides that, it also contains the memories and the spark of our civilization's legacy, which is the very meaning of my existence."

Lynn was so shaken he could hardly speak.

Because this was the heritage of the Cyber civilization, his memory!

"This is my curse. Once I step into the Roots, my memory of past civilizations will be gradually stripped away. The rate of stripping is proportional to the intensity of my ascension. The stronger I become, the more I lose myself. This is why I dare not easily step into the Roots."

Lynn understood.

For Sir Aiwen, as the last AI of the Cyber civilization, he was the final spark left behind by that civilization, and the memories and heritage of that bygone era were the sole reason for his existence.

If the memory was lost, then the Cyber civilization would truly be dead.

All other Roots lived in the distortion of their consciousness and body, enduring an unshakable suffering.

But what Sir Aiwen endured was the extinction of an entire civilization!

"What do I need to do?"

Lynn asked seriously and calmly, looking at his back.

Sir Aiwen's lips curled into a slight smile and said, "No need to look so serious. You just need to return this chip to me afterwards. I'll download that portion of the memory depending on how much I've lost, so it's no big deal."

Lynn paused for a moment, then said deeply, "But what if you forget how to come back?"

Sir Aiwen was stunned for a moment, then let out a carefree laugh, tapped his head, and said:

"Then you keep it. Consider it a memento."

And then he turned.

Snap—

Under the unyielding gazes of the Three Roots, he lightly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

And at that very instant.

His illusory body suddenly transformed into a scene of a vast starry river, rumbling and spreading across the entire high sky. And within that flood of psychic energy, a colossal, ethereal humanoid figure slowly gathered in the middle of that starry river.

Colossal. Inconceivably colossal!

The entire field of vision became blurred, carrying an unimaginable torrent of the mind, as if one could see countless equations and the obscure processes of civilization within that starry river.

That was Cyber!

A Psychic Ascender!

Awe-inspiring.

That illusory giant rose, and its immense pressure made every consciousness present feel an unimaginable oppression. The aura of the Root level rumbled and spread out.

【Ding! You have discovered a special Root-level existence: Cyber Ascender. It has been added to your bestiary!】

The System uncharacteristically paused during the free attribute point allocation.

And before Lynn's eyes, the value kept skyrocketing from 1, faster and faster, all the way up to 20 points. The oppressive aura emanating from the colossal psychic giant that Sir Aiwen had transformed into was also skyrocketing at an unimaginable speed.

But soon, as Sir Aiwen's massive virtual form stabilized, the surging psychic energy fluctuations began to decrease rapidly. The free points Lynn ultimately obtained also began to slowly decline and finally settled.

【Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 15.5 Free Attribute Points.】
