Chapter 97 - Johns Hope (1/2)

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.

“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.
