Chapter 1259: Chapter 114: Genetic Modification, Heart of the Terrorgale!

"Kaleid, High Tier Dark Guard."

"He should be able to withstand the third stage of the transformation ritual." Airenicas’s expression was indifferent.

This land has many methods of transformation.

Wizards often create grotesque monsters, advanced skin grafters can also seize demonic powers, and other methods such as undead limb modifications belong to the domain of the Lord of Pale, while implanting aberrant tissues is the ability of the Flesh Weaver.

But what Your Majesty requires is stability, which can only be achieved through the bloodline ritual.

Kaleid soon lost consciousness.

And when he awoke again, the first step of the transformation ritual had been completed, and he had successfully fused with the bloodline of the gods. Even in the surrounding darkness, he could see everything clearly.

Dark Vision.

This is one of the signs of awakening the ’Dragon Bloodline’ within the warrior group.

A priest from the order guided him to the resting place, where he would stay for a month, observing the status of the bloodline awakening, and then determining whether to proceed to the next step of the transformation.

In the adjacent laboratory.

Airenicas was recording something, testing the results of the experiment while using transcription magic to complete the documentation.

As the hovering magical pen was put away, the experiment archives were backed up.

— "Airenicas’s Experiment Notes" (Legendary).

This weighty experiment record has six major categories, with the first volume being "Alchemical Potions," divided into two subclasses: bloodline potions and mutagenic potions, with the mutagenic potions marked as "Unique Profession of Sword Coast - Mutant Warrior."

The second volume is about magical organ implants, with subclasses recorded including dragon lungs, elemental glands, and aberrant symbiotes, adapted to plane characteristics beyond the Material Plane.

The third volume is alchemical prosthetics, recording three subclasses, namely mechanical armature limb (Mechanical-Demon Tomb), elemental core (semi-elemental modification), and undead limb enhancement, among others.

The fourth volume is biological transformation, recording two subclasses, including chimera experiments (implanting organ limbs) and beastification potions. Mages have done quite a few hybridization works, such as the wyvern, which was bred from hybriding, and even wyverns with giant bloodlines.

The fifth volume is alchemical runes, recording multiple subclasses, but only marking "Dragon Mark Study" and "Enchantment Inscriptions," subdividing the Martial Monk’s totem tattoos and the Red Robe Mage’s magical runic arts. Dragon Mark Study was a knowledge gifted by Your Majesty, even Airenicas hadn’t fully grasped it, as it wasn’t complete, merely a part of the enhanced dragon mark engravings.

To acquire complete Dragon Mark knowledge, Airenicas once suggested to Your Majesty to invade the so-called "Eberron" Material Plane, but this was directly refused by Your Majesty.

The sixth volume is forbidden experiments, only two subclasses were marked without detailed records as they were unsuitable to record in books.

They have two concepts, namely living transmutation and Soul Furnace.

It includes some foreign records, for example, "Van-Richten’s Living Transmutation Guide," which documents the technique of crafting flesh puppets, and the techniques of crafting living undead constructs in the nation of the Scarlet Sunset, knowledge that belongs to the Witch Kings.

The Soul Furnace is a broad category, including soul modification, soul binding (Witch Demon phylactery), and Dark Gift, among others.

This is a vast project.

Even a legend like Airenicas, a former chief Elf Mage at the Legendary Level, has only completed a small part of it.

His superior is a mysterious Spellcaster, immensely powerful. Airenicas even suspects she might be the legendary ’Tasha,’ since among female wizards, the strongest should be Witch Queen Egger Vulfu, whose real name is Tasha.

"Your Majesty has truly given me a hard task!"

After completing his research records, Airenicas turned his head towards the crystal jar in front of him containing immense power.

Inside was a massive beating heart.

Even when forcefully excavated, it possessed terrifying life force.

— Heart of Tarrasque.

It has another name, in DOTA, it is called — Heart of the Dragon.

"Even a Legendary Powerhouse may not be able to withstand its power, right?"

Airenicas lifted his hand, and the magic notebook opened automatically, unfolding the second volume’s section on magical organ implants, with Your Majesty’s decree recorded at the bottom. Airenicas needed to select the strongest from the modified warriors and successfully implant the ’Heart of the Dragon.’

It can either replace the original heart or be implanted as a second heart, but no matter what, he must complete the task with this Heart of the Dragon sent by Your Majesty.

The heart of the Terrasque Giant Beast.

Even with magical modification, it far exceeds the size of a human heart. To accommodate it, the physique of a modified warrior may need to reach over three meters tall.

Airenicas once suggested using cloning techniques to cultivate and attempt to replicate a lowest-spec version of the Heart of the Dragon and then perform the modification surgery, but His Majesty clearly stated that only the original body modification of the Heart of the Dragon could meet the requirements.

This was simply causing trouble for Airenicas; he was only a Legendary Mage, not a god of alchemy.

However, he could also see that Your Majesty was testing his capabilities.

If Airenicas couldn’t even handle a mere ’Heart of the Dragon’, then it was very likely that he would have no involvement in the core experiments to come, including the mysterious original body modifications.
