"You're really in a good mood. You're hiding here and watching others struggle."
Accompanied by a familiar voice, Verena passed through the space rift and appeared out of thin air on the shoulders of Allen.
Her control over energy, space and matter has obviously reached an incredible level. Not only did she not cause even the slightest impact on the surroundings, not even the shabby coat on Allen was damaged at all.
"Why did you run out? Did something happen to Sky City?" Allen asked without looking back.
Verena replied without thinking, "No, it's nothing serious. It's just that Guardians captured a living sample of Dragon's Descendants and conducted a series of tests on it. Here, this is the experimental data, you can take it and take a look first."
As she spoke, she threw the personal terminal she was holding on her paws over.
Allen picked it up and turned on the projection button. He browsed the updated parts of the database at a very fast speed. A playful expression suddenly appeared on his face. "Interesting! The so-called Dragon's Descendants does not originally refer to a kind of creature, but a general name for a class of creatures. They carry the same original gene in their bodies, but due to continuous evolution, they gradually turned into different branches."
Verena nodded slightly. "Yes! It's a pity that there are no dragons with original genes in this world, so all creatures carrying this original gene are collectively called Dragon's Descendants. And there are a lot of traces of artificial modification in their genes."
"You mean... these Dragon's Descendants are also man-made? Just like these Claymore, Awakened Beings and Yoma?" Allen's tone was full of uncertainty.
"It is possible. But these traces of genetic modification are too old. I don't think this can be achieved with the current level of science and technology in this world. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a devastating war broke out on that road a long time ago, which eventually led to a significant decline in technology and civilization, and many precious technologies and data were lost. Only a very small number of biological experimental subjects named Dragon's Descendants survived." Verena expressed his judgment.
"What about the so-called demon power?" Allen touched his chin and continued to ask.
"It's something similar to Life Energy, but it only acts within cells. The specific principle is very troublesome to explain. I'd better pass on the gene of Dragon's Descendants to you, and you can slowly experience it yourself."
With that said, Verena used the connection between the two to transfer all the information contained in the piece of meat he had swallowed before.
In the blink of an eye, Allen felt that every cell in his body was filled with special energy.
As long as you are willing, you can change your external form at any time as needed, and even use the energy called "demon power" to multiply cells Infinity, amplifying your body shape and muscle density countless times.
Even the internal organs and brain will change accordingly to adapt to the side effects of the body's enlargement.
I have to say, this is really amazing.
The Dragon's Descendants gene perfectly integrated with other cells without any obstacles, without any rejection reaction, just like the Chimera Ant gene.
After trying to change his arms and fingers for a while, Allen suddenly asked, "Do you think this world could have been a place full of magical energy before? A very powerful and glorious magical civilization was even born. It was just because of a disaster. The sexual war has caused irreversible changes in the environment of the entire planet. Dragon's Descendants is a legacy of the previous era, but due to changes in the environment, they have gradually lost their magical abilities and have continued to develop in the direction of physical strengthening."
"I'm sorry, your current inferences lack sufficient evidence. At least at the genetic level, I haven't found any abnormalities. However, Guardians are collecting intelligence on another continent. I believe that if there is any prehistoric civilization, there should be some traces left." Verena shook his head indifferently.
She obviously does not believe at all that this world once had magical energy, let alone the existence of a highly developed magical civilization.
The reason is very simple!
If there is a magical civilization, then there will be a small amount of magical energy remaining in the atmosphere.
But unfortunately, after repeated measurements, Sky City found nothing. Only those Dragon's Descendants and the humans who merged their flesh and blood have a kind of biological energy called demon power in their bodies.
And this energy cannot be released outside the body at all, otherwise it will quickly evaporate in a short period of time and eventually disappear completely.
"Okay, then let us wait patiently for the news brought back by Guardians. I have a hunch that the truth will definitely surprise everyone."
Having said that, Allen once again set his sights on the battle not far away.
At this moment, Smiling Teresa has easily defeated all four Claymore ranked second to him from No. 2 to No. 5 without releasing his demonic power, looking down on everyone like a high god.
Under her silver eyes, Ine Lily, Roar Road and Sophia had expressions of unwillingness on their faces.
They never dreamed that this "big mountain" that was always weighing on their heads would face the four top-ranked Warrior at the same time, and still not release any demonic power and win easily.
There wasn't even a single scratch on his body.
That kind of power that is flawless from the inside out deeply shocks everyone's heart.
There is no doubt that Teresa is a typical hexagon Warrior, the only weakness is Clare.
As for Priscilla, he had already been frightened to the point of becoming insane. He sat paralyzed on the ground and kept shaking. The shadow of his childhood came to his mind again. He seemed to have lost his soul and did not dare to raise his head and look at Teresa.
"Is this your goal in this world?" Verena asked with interest.
Allen smiled and nodded, "Yes! She is very charming, isn't she? And she has the necessary qualities to grow into the top class of strong people. I really want to try how far she can go if I give her a chance."
"Does it have the qualifications to become a strong person? This woman is indeed worth cultivating. Especially her mentality, she is already an out-and-out strong person. But are you sure that this will not make the relationship between the existing team members more complicated? Especially Hela, who has been on the verge of dissatisfaction with desires for a long time and may explode at any time." Verena reminded meaningfully.
"Don't worry. As far as I know Teresa doesn't seem to like men."
When saying these words, Allen's expression became slightly weird.
"What? You mean..." Verena's mouth twitched slightly.
"Well, you guessed it right. She has given all her love to the little girl named Clare. The two of them are a couple." Allen gave the answer straightforwardly.
In fact, due to human body modification, although Claymore looks female on the outside, its internal structure has long since become genderless, or it can be said that it is an androgynous body like Dragon's Descendants.
Therefore, they do not have any physical desires, but more of pure emotional sustenance and comfort.
"That's it! Then it seems that my worries are unnecessary. In addition, the little girl kneeling on the ground seems to have a mental problem, and she is about to explode."
With strong thinking perception ability, Verena accurately stated the status of "Two-dimensional".
"It doesn't matter! If she awakens, just capture and bring back Sky City. Anyway, I'm fully prepared and can correct it in time no matter what kind of accident happens."
Just as Allen was speaking, Priscilla suddenly burst out with astonishing demonic power and chased after Teresa like a madman along the footprints left when he left.
Seeing this scene, Ine Lily, Roar Road and Sophia ignored their injuries and immediately ran after them.
One after another, everyone quickly arrived at the empty wilderness outside the town.
By the time Allen arrived, Teresa and Priscilla were already unleashing their astonishing destructive power unscrupulously.
In just a few minutes, the surrounding rocks and ground were covered with sword marks about two to three meters deep and more than ten or twenty meters long.
The latter is almost in the state of Half-Awakened. Not only does his face look extremely ferocious, but his arms can even be twisted into the shape of a whip, swinging them at extremely fast speeds, and launching attacks from various tricky angles.
And Teresa also rarely released 10% of its demonic power. Finally, its pupils were no longer silver, but golden, like wild beast-like vertical pupils.
"Damn it! Such a huge Yoki! Could it be that Priscilla is..." Sophia opened his mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.
"No! She hasn't exceeded the limit yet! If she stops now, she may still return to her human form." Ine Lily interrupted in a serious tone.
"But who can stop her like this?" Roar Road nervously clenched the weapon in his hand.
But the next second...
Teresa used practical actions to prove why he is called the strongest Warrior in history.
She used one hand to block Priscilla's attack, then exerted force with both feet, slamming into Thunder with great force, and then used the gap to swing two swords, cutting off the tendons on the opponent's shoulders on the spot.
puff!
Dazzling blood spurted out.
Priscilla was on his back and fell to the ground with a loud bang, gasping for air.
"While you can still understand human speech, let me tell you, quickly suppress Yoki from turning back into a human. It's still too late. If you can't recover, it will be too late." Teresa raised the Claymore in his hand and pointed at the other person as a kind reminder.
But unfortunately, she obviously didn't know that Priscilla was seriously mentally ill.
When the disease occurs, there is no reason at all, let alone control of one's thoughts and behaviors.
"Dad... give dad back to me... he is such a kind dad... my favorite dad... but he ate him... right in front of me..."
Accompanied by mutterings that others could not understand at all, Priscilla disappeared from the spot instantly, like a madman launching a surprise attack from behind Teresa.
While swinging the sword with all her strength, she continued to roar to herself, "So I killed him! When I was crazy! I chopped off his body!"
The moment he blurted out these words, the spine on Priscilla's back suddenly bulged, showing a terrifyingly thick frame.
He couldn't even stand up. He could only lie on the ground hunched over like an animal, wailing in pain and despair.
"It's... beyond the critical point!" Ine Lily's voice was trembling.
Just when everyone was at a loss for Priscilla, Verena suddenly asked, "Why don't you stop it? With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to help her relieve this pain, right?"
"Why should I help her? Haven't you heard that environment and experience determine character, and character determines a person's fate? Priscilla's tragedy is doomed, unless I control and change her thoughts and personality. In that case, what's the difference from killing her?"
When he said these words, Allen's tone was emotionless, as calm as an outsider, and could even be described as cold.
After all, he has reminded Priscilla once before.
It's a pity that the other party didn't understand or understand, so he will never help a second time.
"What about Teresa? According to your memory, she will die soon. Do you want to change this ending?" Verena asked enthusiastically.
Allen responded casually, "No! This is her farewell to her past identity, and it is also the beginning of a new life. Didn't you see the ring on Teresa's hand? I have preserved her soul, and the next thing to do is to create a new body after her death. And I also want to use this death to make her remember that never have any kindness towards the enemy, otherwise the consequences will be your own death."
"Are you going to die to abandon the past and welcome a new life? You are as bad as ever. But it sounds interesting. If you don't mind, can you let me transform and strengthen this woman's soul?" Verena's face showed an eagerness to try.
You must know that she has done so many body modifications, but she has never touched her soul.
"Okay! But don't go too far. I don't want any problems with Teresa's character, memory and personality." Allen narrowed his eyes and warned.
Since one person and one dragon completely share memories, emotions and thoughts, no matter what each other thinks, the other party can feel it immediately.
Allen knew that the reason why Verena suddenly made such a request was entirely out of curiosity.
In addition, she once obtained Warlock Class Template, and she has been interested in soul transformation for a long time.
It's a pity that I didn't find an opportunity to practice.
