Chapter 659 - 315: One After Another

Chapter 659: Chapter 315: One After Another Many researchers lost their lives trying to fuse different Abyss factors. But the blood of the "bacterial strain" seems to have some magical harmonizing ability, making any type of Abyss factor docile and controllable. Combining these three characteristics, a creepy truth gradually emerges: "The true purpose of the ’bacterial strain’ system might not be to preserve ancient bloodlines at all..." Ron stood in front of the lab table, quickly integrating all the clues in his mind: "But to cultivate special ’Abyss weapons’!" If this hypothesis holds, then the relationship between the Crown Clan and other ancient families and the Abyss is far more complex and sinister than it appears on the surface. They are not adversaries of the Abyss but partners, or perhaps even co-conspirators! The "bacterial strain" families are the products of this clandestine cooperation. They maintain basic human form and rationality, yet possess the perfect ability to integrate with various Abyssal creatures. At critical moments, they are the perfect Abyss weapon. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 "No wonder stories recorded that Cassandra Tower Master’s conquering forces in the Otherworld were said to ravage like a virus. Perhaps ’virus’ is not a metaphor but a realistic description..." Ron recalled various legends and rumors. If many of Cassandra’s forces had this special bloodline, they would have overwhelming advantages when facing Otherworld creatures. Not only could they resist Abyssal Contamination, but also use the enemy’s strength for themselves, or even directly convert the enemy into their own combat force. This is the fundamental reason behind the confidence of the Conquest Faction. They possess an Ultimate Weapon beyond others’ understanding. But this also explains why the status of the "bacterial strain" families is so special and contradictory. On the surface, they are cherished inheritors of precious bloodlines; In reality, they are tightly controlled strategic resources. Every "bacterial strain" is a trump card in the hands of ancient families; their blood, their genes, their very existence, are the property of others. Thinking of this, Ron couldn’t help but feel a different emotion for Franka. This seemingly stern and cold Half-dragon maid is actually a caged bird trapped in a gilded cage. Every drop of her blood, every breath she takes, serves someone else’s ambition. And her so-called "loyalty" and "protection" are very likely just the result of bloodline control. "But these discoveries also point me in a new direction..." Ron suppressed the complex emotions rising in his heart and returned to the track of rational analysis. Since the "bacterial strain" bloodline has such perfect adaptability to the Abyss, if he could unlock its secrets, he could develop a safer and more controllable bloodline fusion technology. No need to take the extreme path like Chai Ye, nor bear immense risks and costs, to achieve the possibility of breaking through bloodline limitations. "Of course, extreme caution is required..." He looked at the still weak "Ink" in the restoration tank, his heart alarmed. The previous experiments had already proved that even Abyss factors treated with "gentleness" still contain unimaginable destructive power. If handled improperly, the consequences would be dire. "Since ’Ink’ has not fully recovered, deeper bloodline reshaping experiments need to be temporarily shelved." Ron carefully burned the analysis report; the value of this information is immeasurable, and simultaneously extremely dangerous. If discovered by those with intentions that he has unraveled the secret of the "bacterial strain," the consequences would be far more serious than any experimental accident. At this moment, in the crystal pool on the other side of the room... The deep sleep of the Little Sea Siren Dale became even more profound, her life signs almost imperceptible. At the same time, strange changes began occurring in the water around her. The once clear and transparent liquid now shimmered with a subtle silver luster, with rings of mysterious ripples spreading outward from her body. "Ailan, how is Dale’s condition?" The Tree Spirit floated over from the corner, its green branches swaying uneasily: "Her Life Energy is indeed constantly increasing, but this mode of transformation... makes me worried." Ailan’s voice was clearly anxious: "Master, I’ve searched through ancient Memories for a long time, but never seen such prolonged deep sleep in the transformation records of the Sea Siren clan. Moreover, the Energy Fluctuations around her are becoming stronger, sometimes affecting the nearby Magic Power cycles." Ron walked to the edge of the pool and activated his "Extraordinary Recognition" skills, carefully observing Dale’s state. In his special sight, the body of the Little Sea Siren was undergoing an unprecedented restructuring. It was not just a change in external form, even her inner energy structure was undergoing fundamental transformation. Most shockingly, there appeared to be some energy patterns in her body that shouldn’t have existed. Those silver lines permeated her entire body like blood vessels, forming an extremely complex energy network. "Her bloodline is evolving to a higher level..." Ron murmured, with astonishment and concern in his eyes: "This is not an ordinary transformation during growth, but Bloodline Awakening. She is returning from a regular Sea Siren to the ancient siren lineage." But what unsettled him even more was that the pattern of this Bloodline Awakening was strikingly similar to the "bacterial strain" phenomenon he just studied. Both involve rearrangement of bloodline structure, deep energy reconstruction, even the same kind of silver energy light is identical.
