Damned 13th Regression – 173
by Jessie@AFNCC
<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 173>
* * *
“Not necessarily.”
What was the purpose for which Vulcanus was first created?
For destruction.
What is the meaning of the world where all the Kishin people died after being destroyed?
Vulcan was not created to cause meaningless destruction.
“Kingmaker. Rewrite internal records. “The destruction of the Kishin tribe is complete.”
The humanoid hologram pondered.
“prediction. Don’t be fooled. Vulcan’s sensors will make continuous measurements. Blocking is impossible with the equipment here.”
“GM will help. “All you have to do is mislead me for 5 seconds.”
“possible. “I will execute it.”
At that time Vulcan’s measurement laser swept forward.
[Vulcanus machine number 666 restarts.]
[Extinction activities continue….]
Vulcan’s light dimmed.
Something like a metal wire is connected to an intangible body.
A direct connection line opened by GM.
Using it the Kingmaker rewrote Vulcan’s records.
The date number of Gishinjok destructions and even sensor detection results are manipulated.
This was to create the illusion that the Gishin tribe had already perished.
[?000000000000 Gishinjok exterminated to date]
[As a result of omnidirectional measurement the remaining Executive Director Kisinjok]
[The Gishin tribe is extinct. Doomsday project completed.]
[Final check to see if there are any survivors for 1000 days…]
You have 5 seconds to fool.

Joo Gong-hyeok who was watching the timing gave an order.
“Extension of authority. Maximum intimacy. “Maximum experience level.”
Expand your authority by consuming 27 red coins.]
[Vulcan (SS+) Intimacy (-19)(+100) Lv. 38 Lv. Max.]
“Forced awakening.”
Red coins jingled in the inventory and were consumed.
[Skill “Forced Awakening (Unique SSS)” activated.]
[Awakening of Destruction-type Autonomous Vulcan (SS+) ability.]
[Third ability “Overdrive” unlocked.]
[Final ability “Kisin Creation” unlocked.]
Increased intimacy to the maximum and unlocked the final ability.
Unlike La Jehutina or Jecheon Daeseong which naturally induced SSS-level evolution it was a forced evolution.
Vulcan sensing something abnormal in himself glared at Joo Gong-hyeok.
= Bipedal organisms. Stop. The mission is not complete. I don’t want to.
“Don’t be pretentious. “It’s good to notice that the final ability is to create a kishin.”
When I flick the black coin in my hand the GM opens his shark-like mouth and swallows it.
“The day of judgment is over. Complete this mission. Creator God.”
[Privilege Expansion – Avatar Evolution.]
– The conditions for evolution have been met.
– Joo Gong-hyeok’s skills bring out Vulcanus’ original potential.
– Vulcan’s title ‘Destruction Automaton’ is changing.
[『Destructive Autonomous God Vulcanus』 is reborn as 『Creative Autonomous God Vulcanus』.]
[The grade of Vulcan (SS+) increases to SSS grade.]
[4th ability – 「New technology manufacturing」 is created.]
Clap!
Dark scrap metal fell from the giant.
A beautifully streamlined platinum glove sparkled on the new surface.
The last part of the eye that fell away had a somewhat bitter glow.
Nathaniel noticed something and clapped his hands.
– that’s right. The name Vulcan means the god of blacksmiths or artisans in any dimension.
“Well that’s right.”
In this world it is the etymology of Volcano but it is also the Roman name for the blacksmith god Hephaestus.
As long as the god of machines has that name it would be more appropriate to be a god of creation rather than a god of destruction.
= Umm….
The platinum spirit which was smaller than before opened its eyes.
= Did I wake up wrong? Why is it so dirty… I can only see ugly creatures.
“….”
Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B
To the creator god who was born after destruction other existing creatures seem ugly.
= I don’t know. I don’t know.
“Go in and sleep.”
[Avatar unlocked 『Creative Autonomous Machine Vulcan (SSS)』.]
Nathaniel was worried when the newly born Creator God was sent away.
– Will he cooperate obediently later?
“All you have to do is satisfy your creative drive. “If it doesn’t work out you can give it to me and lose it.”
-…
“If I give that to them and beat them up they will listen.”
– I feel like I’m going to give you away too so I’ll stop talking.
Nathaniel waved his hand.
“Then shall we bring up the next story?”
Joo Gong-hyeok pulled out an item from the inventory.
A 17 meter long conical chunk of metal that looks like a nail.
It was the worst weapon ever invented by mankind: a nuclear missile.
Gishin asked after completing the internal scan.
“question. “What are these things used for?”
“Guess 1. New type of suicide bomb.”
“Speculation 2. Portable battery for energy generation.”
Joo Gong-hyuk knocked out a nuclear missile.
“Based on your standards that’s probably true.”
The Gishin tribe’s weapons were divided into particle weapons that used beams or mass weapons that fired shells.
In other words long-distance guided weapons such as missiles did not exist in the world of the Kishin tribe.
This is because even if the patterned AI used in guided missiles has artificial intelligence it is all created as a single personality.
In their world things like suicide weapons disappeared millions of years ago. You have to focus your power on one spot with a directional beam to see if it can pierce the armor but a scratch is the limit for a wide-range attack like a hydrogen bomb. Low-dimensional EMP doesn’t even work.
‘After the nuclear explosion the aftereffects or radioactivity have nothing to do with it.’
Neither vacuum conditions nor radiation have any effect on their survival.
The biochemical weapon that Joo Gong-hyeok brought did not exist in their world at all.
What use are viruses and diseases in a metal body?
For them a virus meant a long-distance hacking weapon.
I explained it in one word to those who were completely unfamiliar with this.
“These are prototypes.”
“Prototype?”
“Radioactive bacterial virus prion. These are harmless to you metal lifeforms but fatal to organic lifeforms like me. Well I can’t explain it in detail because each person’s principles and roles are different…”
The corner of Joo Gong-hyeok’s mouth twisted.
The part where the skin on the cheek was torn off and the white teeth were exposed felt like a clown’s smile.
“You just have to make these more toxic.”
“Toxic. More lethal to organic life? “I don’t think it will be that difficult.”
“understanding. I figured out what the principle was. I think we can change the gene or nucleic acid sequence and attach a nanomachine or picomachine based on our virus program.”
The Gishin tribe began moving the nuclear and biochemical weapons they had taken out of their inventory.
Nathaniel looked in fear at the mountain of massacre weapons.
– Where are you going to use all of that?
“Why are you asking if you know?”
Joo Gong-hyuk stroked the angel’s head with his fingers.
“It will be used to kill.”
– …It’s the worst.
“The worst thing is that my body is in the worst condition.”
Although he acted like he was fine with his overwhelming abilities Joo Gong-hyeok’s body was like a rag.
The face was slowly starting to heal but like Two-Face the skin on his ears and cheeks was torn off and badly mangled.
Limbs cut off during the fight between Future Man and Cluesti do not grow back.
One arm was empty and the amputated leg had a knife inserted into it instead of a prosthetic leg so he walked around like a limp.
“observation. “The human body is about 37% shorter than the average known Earthling.”
“that’s right. So give me some good stuff.”
Joo Gong-hyeok patted the inside of the hole where his eyeball had been pulled out.
“implementation. I will prepare for surgery immediately. “To the aircraft maintenance room on the first floor.”
I was carried by the Gishin tribe in the form of a soft bed and quickly returned to the first basement floor which was like the inside of a spaceship.
As I entered the so-called maintenance room I saw the smell of stale oil and various body parts.
“select. Are there any enhancements you want?”
Various models and functional directions were displayed on the monitor in the maintenance room.
– Can be added: Photon Booster Quantum Engine Charged Particle Repulsion Photon Rifle (Photon Bullet Rifle) Imperial Heavy Alloy MacGyver Knife (Plasma) 3-Second Cookware Laser Toaster….
As functions go further back they leave for Andromeda.
“Don’t wear unnecessary things. Stick to the basics. The legs are strong and focus on mobility. “Your eyes can see well.”
“proposal. When it comes to mobility the legs are inconvenient due to bipedal walking. “If the spider walks on six legs mobility improves by about 23%.”
“If you don’t want to do it don’t do it.”
I’ve been tempted to run it before.
After replacing the entire body except the brain a 23-meter dreadnought-level full body prosthesis was implanted but the result was not good.
My senses were confused by a body that was so unfamiliar to me and my honed skills and senses became dull.
In addition many inconveniences ultimately resulted in a decrease in combat power.
“I understand. Then the prosthetic arm of White Rabbit Type 7 is… Unfortunately the prosthetic arm of Reconquista Type 4 is Conquistadores cluster technology. I will replace it with an Independence Type 2 prosthetic hand that has a similar phylogenetic tree. In the case of the eye Ujet 1 meal….”
“OK.”
I skipped over it and closed my eyes.
“suggestion. Is there really no need for a Photon Gatling machine gun? “As long as you want it…”
Kwasik –
The monitor split into two pieces.
“don’t do it. don’t “Don’t do it.”
Kwasik kwasik kwasik.
Only after the scalpel-shaped kishins and light-shaped kishins surrounding the monitor including the monitor were destroyed was an answer heard from the speaker.
“I understand. “I hope the vandalism will stop.”
“Listen when I say it.”
“Very convincing. “The surgery will begin.”
When Joo Gong-hyeok released the resistance the plasma cutter cut off the extremity stained with Cluesti’s curse.
Liquid metal and nanomachines are inserted into the red muscle forming a nervous system and artificial muscles.
A new prosthetic hand was implanted and both of Joo Gong-hyeok’s arms were fitted with cold metal prosthetic hands that did not have human body temperature.
The remaining muscles near the eyes are removed and a high-performance prosthetic eye is installed.
During the surgery the speaker asked again.
“permission. In order to maximize the performance of prosthetic bodies including prosthetic eyes a chip must be embedded in the central nervous system including the brain. Do you agree?”
“No need. “I will transform the body into Vulcanus and control it via Vulcanus.”
“I understand. “There are additional permits to be obtained.”
The plasma cutter was aimed at Joo Gong-hyeok’s left leg the only remaining limb.
“Unlike the arms the legs which are the center of walking use both sides closely and carefully at the same time. “If only one leg is prosthetic balance is lost due to the difference in weight and strength between the two legs….”
“Then cut it out.”
Push ─
Joo Gong-hyeok’s last limb twitched and fell off.
White rabbits replace the two empty legs.
Kliklik─ Klikrik─
The joints of the prosthesis were moved at various angles to check the limits of movement.
The sight of each toe and finger playing separately was reminiscent of the movements of a caterpillar with its head cut off.
“Did it stick well?”
“Prosthetic body transplant complete.”
“The full-body body transformation rate has risen to 46%. In the case of organic matter if more than half of the body is prosthetic rejection of the prosthetic body and nerve disconnection occur….”
“okay. Thank you.”
Joo Gong-hyuk turned the joint once and lowered the bed.
The blood that pooled on the bed spilled on the floor.
As I was leaving the maintenance room where the surgery was performed I saw a familiar little boy inside.
Ymir was in a desolate mood having lost even more of her will to live than before.
“Was watching the surgery fun?”
“father.”
Ymir looked up at Joo Gong-hyeok with sunken eyes.
“Do you want to live like that?”
In the eyes of a child it may seem like a trash life.
He betrayed his former benefactor and praised savior and attempted to kill his lover and subordinate without hesitation.
Even that failed and he was kicked out after being insulted as a piece of trash.
Is it worth living a life like that even losing your arms legs and eyes and replacing them with machines through surgery?
Maybe that’s what you’re asking.
“Does it look lame?”
The three red lenses embedded in the artificial eye rotated eerily.
“I want to live. It’s the opposite. “I want to die even if it means doing this.”
“….”
“Even if you burn your life cut off your limbs without hesitation throw your beliefs into the sewer betray your benefactor regret your teacher for the rest of your life and kill your loved ones….”
The terrible face became even more distorted.
“I just want to end it all kid.”
“…huh.”
Ymir answered quietly and turned his head.
Joo Gong-hyeok turned his head when he saw Ymir’s obedient appearance.
No to be exact I tried to turn it around.
If it weren’t for the heart-stopping shock.
——!
It started from the soles of my feet and penetrated my heart and brain at once.
A familiar touch.
It’s a familiar beat.
Joo Gong-hyeok’s eyes slowly turned to the floor.
“Is it below?”
The identity of the ‘beat’ lay deeper underground in Babel than here.
Even though I hadn’t seen it I could see a bright light that clearly existed.
