My Special Ability Is Perfect Replication-Chapter 217 - Golden Saiyan Apes, Cosmic Civilization

Chapter 217 - Golden Saiyan Apes, Cosmic Civilization

"9527, you recognize this egg?"

Ling Jiu immediately asked, "What life form is going to be born once this egg hatches?"

"This is not the egg of an ordinary lifeform."

9527 had a rather complicated expression. "I've told you before that the universe has given birth to a lot of life, but 99 % of them have been born weak. For instance, you Earthlings, the Nidhogg Dragons, and we, the Emessians."

"Astral Behemoths like the Flame Astral Behemoth with peak pedigree are few and far between, with barely any of them around."

Ling Jiu nodded. The universe was too big, so the probability of a planet being able to birth life was lower than one out of a billion.

However, that would not stop the universe from trying.

A minuscule probability when multiplied by a large base, was still astronomical.

Hence, numerous planets in the universe could give birth to life, albeit the vast majority of them would be low-level lifeforms and born extremely weak.

"There are a few. They are not non-existent!"

9527 then pivoted the conversation. "In the universe, there are many lifeforms that are no lesser, or perhaps even stronger than a Flame Astral Behemoth, just like this egg."

Ling Jiu's eyes lit up.

9527 slowly pointed at the black egg and said, "This is not an actual egg but a mechanical shell used to protect the little guy inside.

"This mechanical shell is isolated from all kinds of detection, so any external force cannot detect information inside it."

"Oh, I see!"

Ling Jiu suddenly realized why the great dragon was unable to sense what was inside it, and only knew it as an egg.

"In theory, the mechanical shell would have been set up in advance. Once the right conditions are achieved, it should automatically open and let the little guy inside wake up," 9527 said unhurriedly.

"However, I don't know if the mechanical shell has some faults, or it has not opened up for some reason, forcing the little guy inside to be asleep. Hence, it is unable to wake up."

"So, what kind of lifeform is the little guy?" Ling Jiu asked.

"A Golden Saiyan Ape," 9527 revealed its name leisurely.

"A Golden Saiyan Ape?"

Ling Jiu was stunned. "What sort of race is that?"

"An extremely terrifying one."

9527 said, "They are born as Stellar lifeforms and only need to reach a.d.u.l.thood to become comparable to apex lifeforms. They are no less inferior to a Flame Astral Behemoth."

"Moreover, what makes them even more terrifying than a Flame Astral Behemoth is that their a.d.u.l.thood period is shorter, and their fertility rate is higher!"

"This..."

Ling Jiu was shocked. "Doesn't that mean this race is stronger than the Flame Astral Behemoths?"

Measuring the strength of an individual was nothing more than indexing attribute parameters like strength speed, defense...

However, measuring the overall strength of a group or a race was not only dependent on individual strength. It was also dependent on the lifespan and fertility rate of that group.

Take pigs and pandas for example; in terms of individual strength, the chubby panda's strength was definitely stronger than a pig's.

One needed to know that this animal was called the Ironeater back in the day, and its bite force was fifth among all of the animals on Earth. It was only weaker to lions, brown bears, tigers, and polar bears.

A panda's bite could easily rip half of a pig's b.u.t.t off.

In terms of overall strength, though, the pig was definitely stronger.

One pig could beat a panda, but what about ten, or a hundred of them?

In the same way, the Flame Astral Behemoths were very strong and comparable to the Golden Saiyan Apes, but the latter was more capable in reproduction. Hence, it was easier for them to grow to their peak.

So overall, the Golden Saiyan Apes were stronger, and there was no doubt about it.

"Yes!"

9527 nodded slightly. "Of course the Golden Saiyan Apes are stronger, and it's precisely because of their terrifying strength that they established an eternal cosmic civilization.

"An eternal cosmic civilization!

"An eternal existence.

"Deathless.

"Everlasting.

"That is something even our Emessian Civilization can't attain. At our peak, the Emessian Civilization only barely made it into the ranks of cosmic civilizations.

"Unfortunately... it still perished eventually.

"No matter how strong a perishable civilization is, they will never become an eternal cosmic civilization."

"An eternal cosmic civilization..." Ling Jiu muttered to himself.

"So, Ling Jiu, remember this," 9527 suddenly said.

"A strong individual only means that the person is strong. Even if you were to become the strongest in the universe, it doesn't mean your civilization is strong.

"Should you fall due to some accident, then your civilization will fall apart and disappear. That is not the hallmark of an eternal cosmic civilization.

"Only when the entire race is strong can a powerful civilization be established and truly aspire to be at the peak of the universe."

"Understood!"

Ling Jiu nodded slowly.

"Now, you are faced with two choices," 9527 abruptly mentioned.

"This little fellow is not dead, and as long as you open its mechanical shell, he will quickly recover.

"Once that happens, you can replicate all of his Arcanas and even raise him up so that he may become your helper. That is the first choice."

Ling Jiu's eyes lit up.

"But doing so comes with great risks."

9527 slowly explained, "The Golden Saiyan Apes are really too strong, and are without question, one of the most powerful treasures of the universe. The moment information about it leaks out, Earth will never see another peaceful day.

"In terms of this, the Flame Astral Behemoth is also the same. In other words, once another civilization knows that there is a Flame Astral Behemoth on Earth..."

9527 shook its head and did not verbalize the rest of its sentence, but Ling Jiu understood what it meant.

Once leaked, it would eventually be coveted by all parties. It would be the same situation as the time they fought for energy crystals and treasures of heaven and earth.

All in all, that was not a good thing at all!

"So, you should think things through on whether to open the mechanical shell or not."

9527 threw the question to Ling Jiu.

Ling Jiu was lost in thought.

On one hand was the various terrifying abilities the Golden Saiyan Ape had.

So, what should he choose?

After a while, Ling Jiu said, "9527, tell me more about the abilities of the Golden Saiyan Apes. I want to make a comprehensive conclusion."

"Okay!" 9527 said.

"The Golden Saiyan Apes are a warrior race. They are born to be warriors and are born with terrifying combat intelligence."

"A warlike race?"

Ling Jiu was speechless. Was the Super Saiyans1 not a warrior race?

"However, they are different from the Flame Astral Behemoth."

9527 continued, "The Golden Saiyan Apes have no special abilities. The strongest, most powerful thing they have, or the only thing they possess is their body."

"Only their body?"

Ling Jiu was stunned.

"Yes, the body."

9527 further said, "The body of a Golden Saiyan Ape is close to perfection.

"It has perfect strength, speed, endurance, resilience... and so on. All of their attributes are close to perfection.

"It could be said that they were born for war."

"Born for war?" Ling Jiu muttered to himself.

"Also," 9527 added, "the Golden Saiyan Apes can naturally sense Dark Bio-energy in the dark universe.

"So, once they are born, they can sense Dark Bio-energy and absorb them into their bodies."

"Bloody hell! That's cheating!" Ling Jiu could not help but chime in.

"Yes, it's cheating.

"But that's why the Golden Saiyan Apes are known as the most war-hungry and the best fighters in the universe," 9527 said indifferently.

"Of course, these are nothing."

"Huh..." Ling Jiu was stunned.

"The most unbelievable thing about the Golden Saiyan Ape is that there are no limits to its body's physical potential!"

9527 said something astonishing, "That means, as long as they continue to train, the Golden Saiyan Apes can grow infinitely stronger, with no limit at all. That is the most annoying thing."

"No limit?

"And can get infinitely stronger?"

Ling Jiu was totally flabbergasted, and he asked in disbelief, "There's such a race?"

"The Golden Saiyan Ape race is as such."

9527 gradually said, "Therefore, they are called the race with the most perfect flesh... Only cosmic warrior beings can establish an eternal cosmic civilization."

"That's really just too powerful!" Ling Jiu muttered to himself and added, "9527, since the Golden Saiyan Apes are so powerful, what are their various attribute indexes?"

The Flame Astral Behemoth... or rather, the various attributes indexes of a newborn Flame Astral Behemoth came to a million.

It meant that its strength speed, endurance, resilience, and other attribute indices were one million times that of an ordinary planetary lifeform.

Ling Jiu had replicated the Ultimate Physique of the Flame Astral Behemoth, and at the beginning, his various attribute indexes were at 100,000 times. Later, due to the growth of his body size, all the various attributes should have been greatly improved.

As for how much, Ling Jiu did not know because he had never tested it out again.

Nevertheless, he was sure that it was definitely more than 100,000 times now.

Therefore, Ling Jiu was very curious. What the attribute index of the Golden Saiyan Apes, known as the cosmic warlike race and possessed the most perfect body was?

"Before I answer that question, let me ask you a question first."

9527 did not provide an explanation but questioned Ling Jiu in return, "What is the attribute index of Earthlings?"

"It... It's hard to say."

Ling Jiu was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he sheepishly said, "I don't know about ordinary folks, but the physical attribute index of an Arcanist is very different.

"The various physical attributes would definitely be higher. For people like Hirano Hatake, it should be ten times, and Christopher, 100 times.

"The physical attribute indexes of other Arcanists are much weaker."

"The exact number is not the key."

9527 smiled and said, "The point is... you Earthlings do not have a unified physical attribute index, right?"

"That's it."

Ling Jiu nodded again and again. Everyone was indeed different from one another.

"The same applies to the Golden Saiyan Apes."

9527 shook its head and sighed. "Different Golden Saiyan Apes have different attribute indexes. Some are high, and some are low, this is determined by nature.

"On this point, they are very similar to you humans.

"Therefore, the Golden Saiyan Apes divided their people into various classes according to their physical attributes, and the ranking system is very strict.

"To be exact, it is divided into five levels: Low-level fighters, intermediate-level fighters, top-level fighters, ace fighters, and the most powerful, apex fighters."

"Five levels..." Ling Jiu murmured.

"Those whose attribute indices do not go past 100,000 times all belong under low-level fighters.

"Intermediate-level fighters possess indices between 100,000 to 200,000 times.

"A top-level fighter's index is between 200,000 to 500,000.

"As for ace fighters, their attribute indices are between 500,000 to 1,000,000 times.

"And for an apex fighter... it is between 1,000,000 to infinity." Reference to a race in the Dragon Ball series
