Chapter 417: Chapter 231: Multiple Synergies (Part 3) Ron carefully poured the Magic Potion into Soron’s mouth. Sure enough, as the Magic Potion was absorbed, the other’s complexion began to improve, and his breathing became a bit steadier. The red Crystal on his chest no longer flickered, but maintained a stable glow and rhythm. "Now, the problem of Abyssal Contamination must be addressed." Ron frowned in thought, observing the obvious purplish-black marks in Soron’s blood vessels: "Conventional suppression methods have limited Effect on this high-concentration Abyssal Contamination. I need to try another approach." [Detected Profession Synergy: Bloodline Modifier (Two Stars) + Wizard ・ Primordial (Three Stars) Gained Additional Synergy Bonuses: 1. Increased success rate of Bloodline Modulation 2. Improved biological tissue affinity of the Radiation Field 3. Ability to perform finer Bloodline Energy Control] As this synergy prompt appeared, a look of understanding flashed in Ron’s eyes. His fingertips traced through the air, as if manipulating some invisible threads. With these movements, the purplish-black contaminants in Soron’s blood vessels began to flow slowly, gradually separating from the blood, concentrating towards the surface. This was an extremely intricate process, akin to separating drops of oil mixed in water bit by bit. Regular Bloodline Modifiers might require several days of continuous operation to complete, but under the fortified synergy bonuses, Ron achieved significant progress in just a dozen minutes. "This is..." Yuni exclaimed, intently staring at the surface of Soron’s skin. Strands of purplish-black substance seeped out from his pores, writhing like tiny snakes. Once these contaminants left the body, they were neutralized by the pure Energy in the "Radiation Field," turning into harmless ashes that dissipated in the air. [Bloodline Shaping (Proficient) Experience Points +1] [Bloodline Shaping (Proficient) Experience Points +1] [Bloodline Shaping (Proficient) Experience Points +1] ... [Current Progress: Bloodline Shaping (Proficient 56/100)] Perhaps because these operations were indeed so complex, the Skill Experience Points increased much faster than usual. "Thankfully, the surface contamination has been temporarily suppressed." Sweat beaded on his forehead, clearly indicating that such high-precision operations were no small burden for him: "Now, there’s one last critical issue left. That is creating a stable heart replacement for Soron." "This is basically impossible, even for an Alchemy Master, it would take weeks or even months to create an organ replacement with a sufficient match rate." Hayek shook his head: "And he must also be adept in Bloodline Modulation; such individuals are all listed in the Court of Truth’s appointed roster." Ron offered no explanation and focused on his work at hand. He retrieved a set of streamlined Alchemy Tools from his Storage Bag along with several rare materials, meanwhile collecting a few drops of already purified Soron’s blood as a foundational template. "Although it’s not possible to configure a replacement heart for Soron, Master." Ron could only explain briefly: "But if it’s just a slightly more stable temporary organ replacement, I can still manage." His fingers flickered, and the strange living substance in hand started to undergo marvelous changes. Its form gradually transformed from a piece of metal into a lifelike heart shape. On its surface, golden Energy patterns swirled, and its interior was constructed of innumerable fine Magic Power conduits, simulating a real heart’s circulatory system. He dripped a droplet of Soron’s blood onto the artificial heart. The pure Benefic Energy contained in the blood was immediately absorbed, causing the entire heart to emit an even brighter light. [Material Refining (Proficient) Experience Points +1] [Current Progress: Material Refining (Proficient 78/100)] Ron took a deep breath, cradling the beating golden heart in both hands. This step was far more demanding than any prior work, a slight mishap could lead to severe rejection or even immediate death. He carefully removed the "Tear of the Heart" from Soron’s chest; the red Crystal was already noticeably dimmed, clearly on the verge of depleting Energy. He then swiftly placed the artificial heart into that ghastly cavity. "Thump, thump, thump..." The sound was clear and strong, and the ghastly cavity visibly shrank. "It succeeded." Ron let out a sigh of relief, his hair damp with sweat from his forehead: "The heart has perfectly fused with his body, now his life is stabilized." Soron’s eyes slowly opened, his gaze no longer dazed but gradually regaining clarity. "I’m... still alive?" Soron’s voice was still weak, but already tinged with an incredulous joy. "Under normal circumstances, your soul should now be burning in flames." Hayek stepped forward, making a hellish joke with a calm expression. Then he turned to Ron, his tone carrying a certain undisguisable admiration: "But our young friend just proved to us with facts that the abilities of a Primordial Wizard far exceed our imagination." Soron attempted to sit up; although his movements were slow, he was able to move on his own. He took a deep look at Ron, gratitude evident in his eyes without the need for words. Then he turned to survey the surroundings, his expression becoming vigilant once more: "The Bloodline Altar... the Holy Disc... what’s the situation?" "The Holy Disc has been dealt with," Ron answered briefly, not wanting to elaborate on the intense confrontation: "But the seal on the Bloodline Altar has completely collapsed, and Abyssal Contamination is spreading." Hayek nodded, his expression serious: "Yes, we must evacuate immediately; your temporary repair only slowed the contamination spread." At that moment, the ground suddenly shook violently. "The situation is deteriorating faster than expected!" A flicker of fear crossed Yuni’s purple eyes: "The spatial structure is accelerating its collapse!" Ron quickly surveyed his surroundings, various escape plans flashing through his mind. At this moment, Soron suddenly spoke: "The northern passage is relatively stable and should hold until we leave. But we must act immediately, every second counts." "Are you sure you can move?" Hayek looked at the other’s pale face with concern. Soron gave a bitter smile: "Vice Dean, if we don’t leave immediately, we will all be devoured by the Abyss. Don’t worry, this new heart seems to be much more robust than I imagined." The passage was already beginning to twist and deform, irregular cracks appearing on the walls, with purple-black Energy seeping out like blood. Rocks were continually falling from the rock walls, and the ground became uneven, as if pulled by some invisible force.
