Chapter 1255: Chapter 113: Divine Bloodline, Genetic Primarch

The City of Coins, Athkatla.

In a hidden underground dungeon, numerous golem puppets were bustling in the corridors, and the prison inside held various creatures, including powerful beastmen, ferocious ogres, and giants, as well as some extremely rare humanoid creatures. These were all Airenicas’ test subjects.

"Master."

"Your Majesty has arrived." A servant nervously swallowed and carefully spoke to Airenicas, who was on the test bench.

A corpse lay on the test bench, bearing some resemblance to himself—it was a static clone.

Upon hearing this, Airenicas’ pupils shrank slightly. He slowly stepped down from the test bench, and with a flash of spell light in his hand, all the bloodstains instantly vanished, and he regained the elegant demeanor of a mage.

Upon entering a spacious hall, Airenicas looked up to see a seductive elven vampire, Badi, snuggling in the arms of a young man, resembling a curled-up, pleading kitten. Upon seeing Airenicas, she no longer displayed the obedience she once had.

"Your Majesty."

"Your sudden visit, I’m unsure how I may be of service," Airenicas spoke cautiously.

During this period, his research funding had been secretly provided by Duncan, his gold lord supporting his research on the essence of divinity, and Airenicas had to maintain respect.

"How is your research progressing?"

Duncan gazed calmly at the legendary mage before him, gently stroking Badi’s hair in his arms. Since obtaining Duncan’s divine essence, Badi was no longer afraid of sunlight, replacing many vampire weaknesses with the template of a divine creature, even regaining a hint of pale vitality.

Airenicas’ expression showed hesitation, and he simply said, "Currently, there hasn’t been much significant progress."

"The slaughter divine son corpses you provided, Your Majesty, did not retain the essence of divinity."

"Once they die, the divinity converges towards other surviving slaughter divine sons, especially those who killed them."

Duncan took care of some slaughter divine sons, excluding Chaneem, of course.

Upon hearing this, Duncan rested his chin on his hand, his expression showing a hint of displeasure, and his gaze towards Airenicas revealed a trace of doubt—not of his loyalty, but of his competence.

This look made Airenicas’ blood surge instantly. He also had the pride of a legendary mage and met Duncan’s gaze directly, summoned the courage to say, "Your Majesty."

"If you give me some living slaughter divine sons, perhaps I can find a way to extract their divine essence."

He didn’t dare to name anyone.

Because Bazatha could beat him to a pulp, and Senda wasn’t an easily defeated slaughter divine son either. Airenicas’ strength, within the storyline of the Throne of Slaughter, was at most second-rate. By the time of the struggle for the throne of the god of murder, even roadside riffraff had close to high-tier strength.

Summoning an otherworld divine attendant at random would also be among the legendary creatures.

"No need."

"Too time-consuming."

Duncan patted the vampire queen, Badi, who was nestled in his arms. She obediently got up, like a kitten, standing beside him, with none of her blood queen’s ferocity and cruelty, ready to kneel and serve at any moment.

"I’ll personally be your test subject."

Duncan’s low voice sounded, making Airenicas show a hint of ecstasy immediately.

A true demigod.

And a highly potent divine essence, not limited to the divinity of the god of slaughter. The essence Duncan had obtained was quite complex and had been fully digested by him.

"Really?"

Elated, Airenicas looked up and then quickly bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty."

"If you personally cooperate with my experiments."

"There is a possibility I may cause you some harm."

In the affair of the sons of Baal, Airenicas successfully stripped Chaneem’s divine essence, even stealing his soul power, thereby gaining the potential to seize the power of the Tree of Life. Eventually, he could even transform into the form of a slayer.

This guy still had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Harm me?"

"You overestimate yourself." Duncan smiled calmly.

He walked directly towards one of the experiment tables, speaking slowly, "I need you to extract the bloodline power from this body of mine, enhancing others using genetic methods without reproduction."

"Since you’ve begun studying static cloning, you should know what genes are."

Airenicas’ pupils contracted upon hearing this, as if he had made a connection, carefully saying, "Your Majesty intends to create adherents?"

Genetic modification.

Many demon lords in the Bottomless Abyss played this trick, but it was limited to purgatorial creatures, as mortal bodies were too fragile to endure until the end of the modification.

"No."

"It’s original bodies," Duncan mentioned a term that Airenicas could not comprehend.

Duncan had a method to directly promote a person to a legendary powerhouse, but that could not be mass-produced and consumed his own strength.

He needed to use the bloodline in human form to enhance other creatures, significantly increasing their attributes, and allowing the most exceptional individuals to possess the minimal version of the ability to grow stronger through slaughter.

Duncan had already tested this on the slaughter divine sons, albeit limited to a few individuals, and could not be widely implemented.

"Your Majesty."

"Then I beg your indulgence."

Airenicas’ eyes showed suppressed excitement. A demigod as his test subject was something unimaginable in the past, and Duncan’s divine wisdom could help him better understand the mysteries of divine essence.
