Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction-Chapter 97 - Johns Hope

After dozens of minutes of testing, Betty studied the genetic conversion device in John’s body. However, she only understood the mechanism of gene conversion, but did not know how it was created.

When Peter saw that Betty had completed her task, he asked Professor Eugene to take Betty back. This gave Betty the feeling that she was being used as a tool.

Professor Eugene saw what Betty was thinking and smiled at her. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

“You don’t have to doubt that, Betty. You’re just a tool.”

“…”

Betty’s current thoughts were very strange. After observing the attitude of the fake President and Professor Eugene towards Peter, she could tell that they respected the God of War Peter. Even a fool could guess that there was a similar organization behind the God of War Peter that could use some kind of ability to control humans.

However, she was curious why Peter didn’t control her since she knew many of the secrets about the God of War Peter.

It wasn’t just Betty who had this thought. Professor Eugene, who was responsible for escorting her, also wondered why the God of War Peter hadn’t let the S-Grade queen insect control Betty. This didn’t make sense.

In Professor Eugene’s opinion, humans were the creatures with the poorest confidentiality. If they wanted someone who knew a secret to protect it, unless they made this person disappear completely, the secret would be leaked. After all, human nature always liked to share some secrets.

Professor Eugene sent Betty back to the room where she was placed under house arrest. Then, he returned to Peter. It was very difficult to repair John’s incomplete consciousness as the rest of his incomplete consciousnesses were stored with the Holy War Organization. It was impossible for even Peter to enter their base.

Next, Peter wanted to increase his combat power. The key was whether Professor Eugene could create genes comparable to those used by the Holy War Organization in a short period of time.

“Professor Eugene, Betty has already told you about the genetic conversion structure in John’s body. How long will it take for you to improve the progress of extracting the Thunder God genes?”

This was Peter putting pressure on Professor Eugene. Otherwise, it would take a while for Professor Eugene to figure it out.

“Master, I understand the structure of the gene-conversion device. Thus, it’ll be easy to deal with later on. Please believe me. After all, I’ve studied genetic extraction technology for a long time.”

Professor Eugene was right. After becoming the dean of the Genetics College, he had indeed been studying the Thunder God gene extraction technology behind Peter’s back. Furthermore, he had previously achieved some results. Otherwise, Peter would not have succeeded in extracting the Thunder God genes in the first place.

Peter had currently extracted only 1.05% of the Thunder God genes.

This was a huge gap from reaching a progress value of 20%. If Peter wanted to reach the expected speed in a short period of time, Professor Eugene would need to make a huge breakthrough. This would also improve the entire Genetics College.

John’s genetic conversion device had been removed, but he was conscious. This was because there were two systems in his body that maintained the operation of his brain.

Peter walked to the platform where John had placed his head and looked at the mechanical head in front of him.

“John, I have a message for you. A part of the consciousness that belongs to smart mechas like you is stored in the base of the Holy War Organization.”

John’s current memories were incomplete, leading to his sometimes slow understanding of human language.

He paused for a very long time before he was able to answer Peter.

“God of War Peter, I don’t know what method they used to store the incomplete consciousness of humans.”

Peter was not surprised by John’s answer. Instead, it was within his expectations. This kind of question that involved human consciousness would always have a strange element to it.

However, Peter could see that John’s “eyes” were glowing with many colors. This was because John’s emotions were fluctuating greatly. Obviously, John also felt a message that Peter and the others wanted to repair his incomplete consciousness.

If they could really repair John’s incomplete consciousness, they could unlock the origins of the secret Holy War Organization.

Since the mysterious Holy War Organization could not leave the base, it was not difficult to understand the many strange things that had happened in the past. Be it the fact that they had secretly planned the beast attack, or that they had used insects to control humans, they simply wanted to use the power of a third party to achieve their goal.

Another possibility was that the Holy War Organization was doing all of this to prepare to leave the base.

Right now, there were two problems that urgently needed to be solved. Firstly, Professor Eugene had to quickly create the powerful Thunder God gene potion for Peter and the other Genetic Warriors to extract.

Secondly, they had to deal with the upper echelons of the human Federation who were controlled by the Holy War Organization. However, Peter had to deal with General David in New York Base City first. He hadn’t dealt with General David yet as he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Holy War Organization towards the Genetics College.

However, after the past few days of investigation, Peter and others had essentially obtained some secret information about the Holy War Organization.

This included the fact that the Holy War Organization could not leave the range of the base. In this way, the smart mechas were the greatest threat to Peter and the others. With Peter’s current combat power, he could barely fight against a smart mecha without activating 50 times more rage.

If he encountered a group of smart mechas, he might not be able to escape even after activating 50 times more rage.

Peter and Professor Eugene left the underground warehouse. He urged Professor Eugene to continue developing new Thunder God gene potions to improve their overall strength.

After a night of discussion, Peter left the laboratory. Then, he went to the hospital to pick Callie up and bring her back to the dormitory. After being observed for the past few days, Callie’s condition had stabilized. As long as she did not experience any intense stimulation, she would slowly recover and go back to normal.

It was late autumn and the New York Base City was about to enter winter. Peter’s plan was to improve his strength again before winter came. Then, he would have to solve the problem of General David.

In the dormitory, which had always been warm, Peter had Callie lying in his arms. Both of them were asleep. It was rare for them to enjoy the world as a couple. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Peter slept all day. When the sun rose, he woke up with a feeling of hunger in his stomach. He looked at the kitchen table and saw that there was only a little bit of the leftover pizza from yesterday.

Thus, Peter could only get up and go to the canteen to buy food. Nowadays, there was no food delivery service in the Genetics College. After all, the limited population could not support the massive service industry.

Young humans would enter various colleges to learn war-related skills instead.

Peter left the dormitory. On the way to the canteen, he received a message from Professor Eugene.

“Master, I just received a call from Anna. She wants to return to the Genetics College.”

“Anna wants to return to the Genetics College!”

Peter saw the contents of the message and the puzzled expression on his face deepened. Why did Anna want to return to the Genetics College again? Could she have other motives…
