"I have read your theory on brain development. Although it is still in its early stages, the direction is correct," Lucy explained. "Right now, my cells are multiplying by the millions every second. I can't accurately predict my time of death, but I estimate it won't exceed a day."
"What exactly are you talking about?" Even in the face of such an unexpected situation, Professor Norman didn't panic too much, only furrowing his brows.
"I mean your theory is not just a theory." Lucy briefly explained what was happening to her and added, "I can control electromagnetic waves, though only at a basic level—TV, phones."
As she spoke, the television in Professor Norman's room began to flicker, the phone rang, and even the mobile screen displayed Lucy's video.
"I can no longer feel pain, desire, or fear. It seems like my humanity is gradually fading away."
That was the key reason why she was becoming increasingly indifferent.
After saying this, Lucy and the professor agreed to meet within twelve hours.
The next day, Lucy changed into a black dress that complemented her long black hair as she walked inside the airport.
As she walked, she called the NPCD Anti-Terrorism Unit of the next city. Although this world was dominated by major corporations, it didn't mean there was no order within the city. The Anti-Terrorism Unit was an independent force responsible for ensuring the safety of people and their property, possessing immense combat strength.
Lucy reported the criminal activities of the antagonist, Mr. Zhang, to Officer Peel, played by Chris Hemsworth.
Although Peel was initially skeptical, Lucy described Zhang's actions, expressions, and even the surrounding environment with precise detail, making Peel take her seriously at once.
Following the time and location Lucy provided, they implemented strict airport controls and captured the drug mules.
Meanwhile, Lucy also encountered great trouble on the plane.
After taking a sip of the champagne handed to her by the flight attendant, she found a tooth in the glass.
Yes, her teeth had begun to fall out. After her cells multiplied uncontrollably, her body seemed to develop self-awareness and was now beginning to disintegrate.
One by one, her teeth fell out. When she gently ran her fingers over her skin, it peeled away, revealing blood-red tissue underneath. The terrifying realization sent shivers down her spine.
She rushed into the restroom, but the changes continued. Looking in the mirror, she saw her facial features melting like watercolors on a canvas, distorting into something grotesque and unrecognizable.
"Ah!" Judy gasped in shock. Watching this scene through 3D glasses made it even more immersive, as if she were looking at her own reflection in the mirror.
It was unsettling, to say the least.
Lucy felt the same way.
In this agony, she developed an intense craving for CPH4. She immediately consumed all the CPH4 in her bag, which temporarily restored her, only for her body to explode like a magnificent firework.
Lucy was completely obliterated in a burst of colorful light and smoke.
"WTF!" Vincenzo was startled. Was the protagonist really dead?
No way!
The audience was equally stunned, but they remained calm because soon, they saw Officer Peel speaking with a doctor.
"How is she?"
"She's sleeping."
"I gave her enough to keep her unconscious for a whole day."
The next second, Lucy's eyes snapped open. As she blinked repeatedly, her pupils constantly changed—lizard, leopard, bird, fish. Each transformation was mesmerizing. Then the screen went black, and the number 50% appeared.
When they learned that Lucy had awakened, Officer Peel and the doctor were bewildered.
"She shouldn't be awake so soon."
With his team, Peel rushed to the hospital corridor, only to find Lucy in her black dress. He drew his gun, warning her not to move.
Yet, facing an array of dark gun barrels, Lucy simply raised a finger, and all of them instantly collapsed, unconscious.
"That's so cool!" The audience marveled at Lucy's superpowers.
Seeing this, Officer Peel had no choice but to lower his gun.
Meanwhile, on the antagonist Zhang's side, he was informed of Sally's death and the capture of some CPH4 mules. He contacted many people and ultimately decided to deploy his own team of special ability users.
On the other hand, Lucy was searching for other CPH4 carriers. Sitting inside a car, she looked at the crowd outside. Each person had a straight blue line extending into the sky, resembling the strings of fate.
She gently plucked at the lines on the glass and soon identified a red string of fate.
Lucy and Peel quickly arrived at their destination—a hospital.
The drug mules were scheduled to have the CPH4 extracted there.
However, by the time Lucy and Peel arrived, all of them were already dead. Only Zhang's subordinates and a few superpowered individuals remained, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Lucy finally confronted the other superpowered individuals.
Inside the hospital lobby, she faced off against one who controlled electricity and another who wielded fire. A fierce battle was about to break out.
Vincenzo and Milon were completely immersed in the breathtaking visuals provided by their 3D glasses.
"So cool!" When the fire-powered individual engulfed the area in a fiery explosion infused with electricity, Vincenzo felt a cold sweat on his back.
However, Lucy remained unfazed. She merely waved her hand, using telekinesis to manipulate the beams and block the attack.
The battle lasted for seven minutes, filled with spectacular effects and thrilling action sequences that left the audience exhilarated.
But the two opponents were clearly no match for Lucy. One was impaled onto an iron rod by her telekinesis, while the other was burned alive when she overloaded an electrical box.
As for the CPH4 in the hands of Zhang's subordinates, it naturally fell into Lucy's possession.
Yet, the fight was far from over. Zhang's reinforcements arrived.
Lucy and Peel sped through the city, dodging relentless pursuers with supernatural abilities.
The high-speed chase sent the audience's adrenaline soaring. The relentless dangers and near misses made Vincenzo and the others gasp in excitement.
It wasn't until Lucy detonated the pursuing cars that the chaos finally ended.
Lucy then took Peel to Professor Norman's location, where she began discussing the true nature of CPH4 with him.
After demonstrating her superpowers to the researchers—proving that she had indeed unlocked her brain's potential—one of them asked, "How did you acquire all this information?"
"Electrical impulses. Each cell recognizes and communicates with the others. They exchange information at a rate of a thousand bytes per second."
"When cells cluster together, they form a vast communication network, which in turn creates matter."
Lucy raised her hand, and everyone watched as a second hand grew from her palm.
She waved it, shifting its form—duck's webbed foot, sharp talons, lizard scales.
It was as if she had completed her transformation, becoming the ultimate being capable of changing into anything.
"When cells gather, they form a shape, change, and reshape. There is no distinction; they are all the same in essence."
"Humans believe they are unique, so all their theories about existence are based on this assumption."
"'One' is their unit of measurement. But that is not true. Every societal system ever implemented is merely an initial blueprint. One plus one equals two—that's what we are taught."
"But one plus one has never equaled two. There are no numbers in this world, no letters. We encode our existence into human frameworks to make sense of it."
"We created measurement systems so we could forget that the immeasurable cannot be measured."
"If humans are not the unit of measurement, and the world is not governed by mathematical rules, then what governs it?" Professor Norman asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Time," Lucy answered definitively.
"Time is the only true measurement. It proves the existence of matter. Without time, we do not exist."
BANG!
Suddenly, an explosion rang out from outside the building.
"Damn it!" Officer Peel stood at the door, confronting a heavily armed military force equipped with advanced cybernetic prosthetics alongside his subordinates. "What the hell did that woman get herself into? Is it Militech? Or Arasaka? He actually has an army! This isn't within the jurisdiction of the NPCD!"
"What's happening?" Several researchers were visibly panicked.
But Lucy reassured them, "Don't worry, everything will be handled. Professor, right now, I just want to know—how can I survive?"
She could understand her own cells down to the finest detail, yet she couldn't analyze the exact composition of CPH4—because CPH4 didn't exist within cells.
Professor Norman remained calm as he looked at Lucy. "We've already analyzed the composition of CPH4. Simply put, it dates back to a period even earlier than the Cambrian era, originating from the earliest stages of Earth..."
As he explained, Vincenzo and the others also came to understand the purpose of CPH4.
In fact, this substance was discovered accidentally by human scientists—extracted from minerals as a special energy source.
At first, it was only used to create an energy field that promoted evolution in ornamental fish tanks. But over time, scientists gradually realized that it could also induce a certain degree of evolution in humans.
For instance—superpowers.
However, Lucy was different from the others. The others used CPH4 through special methods, and even if they evolved superpowers, they never developed their brains.
But Lucy, by developing her brain, had evolved superpowers.
That was why she was unique.
"According to our research data, every single person who has come into direct contact with CPH4 has died without exception—their bodies completely disintegrating. So, I never expected that you could survive."
"Boom!" The explosions outside grew even more intense.
Despite this, Professor Norman and his team proceeded with a full-body examination of Lucy. Through this examination, they reached a conclusion—if Lucy wanted to survive, she had to continue consuming CPH4.
This was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst, but at this moment, Lucy had no other choice.
Moreover, according to Professor Norman, CPH4 would accelerate the collapse of Lucy's physical body. As for what would happen in the end, he had no idea.
What would happen at 100% brain development? No one knew.
"Then let's begin. Don't worry, before my human emotions completely fade away, I'll make sure to take care of what's happening outside."
A trace of struggle flickered in Lucy's eyes, but she ultimately agreed to the professor's plan.
Meanwhile, the troops outside had been repelled several times by the counter-terrorism task force.
At last, Mr. Zhang, who had arrived at the scene in a helicopter, was utterly enraged. He decided to bomb the entire area.
He could not allow Lucy to leave alive—otherwise, his business empire would be doomed.
"Blow up everything!"
At his command, several bombers appeared above the clouds.
With a deafening roar, missiles were launched one after another.
However, something happened that no one could have expected.
Those missiles detonated midair, bursting into dazzling fireballs in the sky.
Meanwhile, the bullets fired by the armored vehicles also reversed direction—striking down their own men.
As blood splattered one by one, all the enemies perished.
Even the cybernetically enhanced superhumans suffered mysterious malfunctions in their mechanical prosthetics, causing them to explode on the spot.
Lucy was like a true deity, remotely controlling all firepower to eliminate her enemies.
Only Officer Peel and his subordinates stood there in shock.
Looking at the corpse of a superpowered individual before him, he kicked it aside—only for a momentary flash of blue light to touch his ankle.
Of course, he remained unaware of this.
Only Lucy knew.
But she did nothing, as if she had already foreseen the future.
With all enemies dealt with, Lucy entered the final stage.
"Sixty percent, seventy percent, eighty percent, ninety percent, ninety-nine percent."
During this process, she enveloped the entire server room with a black organic structure, pulling everyone into her consciousness.
That space was pure white.
As Professor Norman looked around in confusion, they noticed a strange, biological-looking computer materializing before them.
At the moment the biocomputer was completed, Lucy found herself standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
She had seemingly become a true creator, capable of traveling across the world at will.
One moment in Paris.
The next in the Sahara.
Then the Pacific Ocean.
Finally, she stopped in Times Square, New York. The streets were crowded, but no one noticed her—everyone just continued moving forward.
Lucy waved her hand. The scene froze.
With another wave, time rapidly rewound.
Buildings restored layer by layer.
Scenes disappeared one by one.
Eventually, the entire cityscape reverted to the steam age—horse-drawn carriages and gentlemen in top hats appeared before her.
Curiously observing everything, Lucy waved her hand again.
Time continued to rewind at a frantic pace.
Villages, forests, wastelands, clouds, snowfields—everything turned into brilliant light and shadow, fleeting past Lucy's pupils like a galloping white steed.
When the scene halted, a few Native Americans on white horses appeared before Lucy.
Without hesitation, she waved her hand again.
This time, time rewound even further. As the camera circled around Lucy's head and stopped behind her, she was already in the dinosaur era.
But it didn't end there.
In the fourth rewind, she appeared before the first primate.
Like a cycle coming full circle, Lucy met Lucy, the ancestor of humanity.
Their fingers touched, mirroring Michelangelo's famous fresco The Creation of Adam.
However, the moment their fingers met, Lucy was stunned.
The scene before her continued to rewind.
Her eyes filled with confusion—she should only be able to travel back to humanity's origin.
But now, something unexpected was happening.
Could it be that humanity's birth didn't begin with Lucy?
Just as the audience followed Lucy's doubts, a breathtaking sight unfolded before them.
Lucy found herself in a world of endless ocean—no land in sight.
Momentarily dazed, she slowly looked up.
Before her was not a blue sky, but a vast, deep purple cosmos.
Within that purple glow, an enormous shadow of unfathomable form loomed, inching closer to Earth.
It was so massive that planets seemed insignificant before it. Every step it took erased several celestial bodies.
And on its surface—countless red dots glowed like an endless sea of eyes, utterly terrifying.
In that instant, Lucy's pupils widened.
She had believed she had lost human emotions—yet at this moment, she felt both physical and psychological terror.
The next second, her figure vanished, and she returned to the laboratory.
"No." She opened her eyes, and for the first time, her once emotionless gaze was filled with life.
She looked at Professor Norman and warned, "Humanity is being watched."
Professor Norman was puzzled and was about to ask—
But Lucy's body started to crumble, disintegrating into endless dust.
"One hundred percent."
Elsewhere, the villain Zhang was escaping New York in a helicopter.
Yet in the blink of an eye, black organic matter appeared on his control stick, morphing into a spike—impaling him through the chest.
"Where is she?" When Officer Peel returned to the lab, Lucy was nowhere to be seen.
Professor Norman gestured toward his phone.
Peel picked it up, only to see the screen flicker before a message was typed out.
"I am here..."
The screen gradually faded into darkness—revealing the name of director Ethan.
"My God!" The audience stared at the black screen, their excitement overwhelming.
"A masterpiece!" Vincenzo exclaimed, feeling that all his expectations had been fulfilled.
"This ending was phenomenal!" Milon and Judy clapped, showing respect for Ethan's new film.
"But what was that at the end?" Vincenzo asked, still trembling from the sheer scale of that colossal entity.
Seeing such an enormous creature on the big screen was beyond thrilling!
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Ethan actually brought it to life in a sequel.
"It's probably setting up the next film," Milon guessed. "It looks like this will become a series!"
"Then I can't wait!" Vincenzo stood up, waved goodbye to the others, and rushed out the door.
He wasn't sleeping tonight!
He had to stay up and write his review and analysis—this was a film on par with Avatar!
It would bring him massive attention!
