Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 54 – Ulterior motives

Mond's words left Qiao Yu completely stunned.

What on earth? What is this Ancient Sacred Body of the human race?

It took Qiao Yu a while to react. He seemed to have previously bluffed Blitz, claiming he was an Ancient Sacred Body.

Wait, aren't you supposed to be artificial intelligence? And you believe in this Ancient Sacred Body nonsense?

Qiao Yu internally mocked, then looked up at Mond.

"Hello! I am the Ancient Sacred Body of the human race, Qiao Yu!"

"Hello, Mr. Qiao Yu!"

Mond was overjoyed, eagerly extending his hand. Qiao Yu's attitude made him extremely excited!

It seems there's hope for the Ancient Sacred Body to join the Mechanical Kingdom!

The Black Queen will surely be very pleased.

Afterward, Qiao Yu and Mond chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

Both had ulterior motives: one wanted to recruit the Ancient Sacred Body into the Mechanical Kingdom, while the other wanted to use the opportunity to infiltrate the core base.

"Brother Qiao! I truly regret not meeting you sooner! Hahaha! Come, come, let's go to my place and have a few drinks together!"

"Brother Mond, you're too kind! Then I shall humbly accept your invitation! Let's go, let's go!"

Qiao Yu and Mond walked off with their arms around each other's shoulders, leaving the Tiger Ben Legion's commander, Ishude, completely bewildered.

What's going on? Why is the Ancient Sacred Body of the human race getting along with our kingdom's Colonel Mond like they're blood brothers?

Ishude felt like his brain couldn't keep up.

"It's over, it's over! Did you see that? Brother Yu has defected!" Yang Xiangdi pointed at the backs of the two men.

"Yang Xiangdi, Qiao Yu must have his own plans, don't worry." Zuo You explained.

"Oh, oh, oh! Zuo You is already defending your lolicon little husband?" Zhao Ziyue teased from the side.

"Zhao Ziyue! Do you have a death wish?" Zuo You bared a small tiger tooth, giving off a fierce yet adorable vibe.

"Scared, scared, the husband-protecting maniac is terrifying, hahaha." Zhao Ziyue laughed, covering her mouth.

"Zhao! Zi! Yue!"

"Running, running, Ma Fei~ I'm coming to heal you!" Zhao Ziyue, seeing Zuo You angry, immediately ran over to Ma Fei.

Leaving Zuo You with a flushed face, unclear whether from anger or embarrassment.

On the other side, Qiao Yu, using Mond's influence, smoothly entered the capital of the Mechanical Kingdom.

"Oh my..."

Qiao Yu exclaimed in awe.

Inside the capital, there were towering skyscrapers everywhere, resembling a maze of stone spires.

The walls of the skyscrapers were filled with various AR advertisements and artificial images, and the entire city was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, with grid-like lights making it look like a city made of countless circuit boards.

Compared to human cities, the capital of the Mechanical Kingdom was clearly more advanced, with the only difference being that the streets were filled with robots.

There were even robots walking humans on leashes, like humans walking dogs, and two robots were chatting with each other.

"What kind of human food do you feed your pet? Their waste smells too bad after eating meat! I don't want to be a poop scooper anymore!"

"You should try this human food. Not only does it make their waste odorless, but it also makes their skin smoother!"

"Really? I'll try it when I get back. Hey, is your pet pregnant?"

"Yes! Once the little human pet is born, I can sell it to a pet store for a good price!"

"I'm so jealous of you. Where did you get your pet bred? Is the stud good-looking?"

The two robots chatted without restraint, while the two humans they held on leashes looked dazed.

The scene was incredibly ironic.

"In the Mechanical Kingdom, humans either accept mechanical modification or become human pets. There's no third option."

Seeing Qiao Yu's confusion, Mond explained.

"I see." Qiao Yu nodded with a smile, though he was deeply shocked inside.

Will the future really become like the Mechanical Kingdom when artificial intelligence becomes advanced enough?

In the world of robots, humans have become lower beings, no different from pets like cats and dogs.

"Let me tell you, some humans willingly come to be pets! They even enjoy it!" Mond said with a smile.

Qiao Yu nodded. He had heard that some circles indeed had a trend of recognizing masters.

But recognizing a robot as a master... Qiao Yu found it odd.

It was as ridiculous as someone calling a dog "dad."

"Brother Qiao, uh, don't you need to bandage your wounds?"

Mond looked in horror at Qiao Yu's wounds, which were still bleeding.

When the human body loses more than 2000 milliliters of blood, it falls into a deep coma.

And if the patient doesn't receive a blood transfusion in time, they will die from excessive bleeding.

According to Mond's rough estimate, Qiao Yu had lost at least five pounds of blood along the way... If he opened a blood soup restaurant, he could probably become the richest man.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

Qiao Yu waved his hand helplessly. He didn't want to bleed, but his Health was just too high.

Unfortunately, his Defense was only a pitiful 6 points, which meant even a slight bump would cause him to bleed profusely.

"Uh... alright." Mond said quietly.

Maybe this is the talent of the Ancient Sacred Body?

Under Mond's guidance, Qiao Yu followed him to a spacious church. As they opened the door, a black piano came into view.

"Daddy Mond is back! Daddy Mond!"

A dozen children shouted as they rushed to Mond, their faces full of joy, seemingly unafraid of Mond's half-metallic body.

"Oh, my good children! Come, let daddy hug you!" Mond picked up a little girl. "Why has my little girl gained weight again?"

"Daddy Mond is lying! I'm not fat! You're the fattest!" The little girl pouted angrily.

The once short and fierce Mond seemed to transform into a loving father at that moment, even his ugly face appeared kinder.

"Come, say hello to Uncle Qiao Yu." Mond said to the little girl in his arms.

"Hello, Uncle Qiao Yu~"

The little girl blinked her big eyes at Qiao Yu, her gaze filled with curiosity and a hint of fear towards strangers.

"Brother Mond, who are these children?" Qiao Yu asked, puzzled.

"Go play with them, little one."

After sending the little girl off, Mond began to speak.

"These are all orphans I've adopted. They lost their parents in the war between humans and the Mechanical Kingdom and have no home."

"When they come of age, I'll send them for mechanical modification to become the next generation of mechanical warriors."

Qiao Yu frowned deeply. This behavior of raising children as tools made him disdainful.

"You adopted these children just to raise a batch of loyal dogs for yourself?"

Mond asked, puzzled.

"What do you mean by dogs? What's wrong with accepting mechanical modification? It extends their lifespan several times over, and their physical abilities are far superior to ordinary humans. It's clearly a win-win situation!"
