What impact does genetic mutation have on an organism?
Just look at how the giant panda transformed from a carnivore to a bamboo-based omnivore.
Just a small part of the taste gene sequence becomes inactive, causing it to no longer taste the delicious taste of meat. This allows an animal to directly change its eating habits before the digestive system has completed the evolution.
Moreover, the digestion and absorption rate of bamboo by giant pandas is extremely low, leaving them in a state of malnutrition for a long time in the wild environment, which in turn affects their fertility and reproduction.
Changes in taste genes can have such a shocking impact, not to mention the consequences of a large number of Claymore being replaced by Dragon's Descendants genes in a very short period of time.
The only good thing is that humans have a neuron system that can produce strong self-awareness - the brain.
Therefore, after awakening, the memory of being a human will not disappear, but will fiercely conflict with the changed genes.
This is why many Claymores experience confusion, confusion, and even uncontrollable behavior after awakening.
After all, most of human emotions are controlled by the secretion of hormones.
And genes play a large part in it.
When genes undergo subversive changes, the entire person will naturally change dramatically.
Claymore behaved completely differently before and after his awakening. Rather than changing from a human to a monster, it was more like a rapid mutation from one intelligent creature to another.
Those few who are strong in spirit and will may allow the powerful subjective consciousness of being human to take over.
But more often than not, subjective consciousness is strongly stimulated by biological instincts, and ultimately undergoes fundamental changes, completely cutting off from the past human identity.
So Allen is very lucky that when he embarked on the road to pursue power, he created a way to control Red Dragon of Life, otherwise the subsequent integration of genes from other species would not guarantee that his personality would not change drastically.
Coupled with the solidification of soul power, it is no longer possible for what kind of genes to constitute the body affect his mind, thinking and consciousness.
In contrast, Sophia was shocked when he heard these theories for the first time. He lowered his head and stared at his hands and asked in an uncertain tone, "You mean... the organization's previous remarks about Claymore being half-human and half-demon were completely wrong? Even if the body is replaced after fully awakening, as long as we can still retain human consciousness, we will still be human beings..."
Allen replied meaningfully, "Yes! In addition to being a simple species, the name human also includes a series of complex contents such as identity, worldview identity, value identity, social and cultural identity, etc. If a person's spirit and will are strong enough to overcome the primitive impulse after awakening, then she looks like It was no different before. This is why, after learning Life Energy, the upper limit of your tolerance for Yoki has increased a lot, and some of you can even recover to the original state after fully awakening, because the training of spirit and willpower is a crucial part of the Life Energy cultivation process."
"So Ine Lily is able to stay awake in a fully awakened state, not because her talent is great, but because her willpower is stronger than mine?" Sophia finally seemed to understand something.
"Talent only determines the maximum limit after awakening. Whether you can stay awake is a manifestation of your spirit and willpower, and has nothing to do with strength. Remember Priscilla? She has a talent that is almost the same as, or even better than, Teresa, but what is the final result? Due to her mental instability, she awakened almost easily, and turned into the person she once hated the most."
While saying this, Allen picked up the cup and took a big sip of the alcoholic beverage sent from the rear area, and then threw the empty cup onto a huge wooden barrel.
The wooden barrels are surrounded by a variety of fresh fruits, cakes, candies, snacks and other snacks.
Since the first half of the logistics supply is provided by land and water, the food of his Western Lands army has always been very good.
Not only can you often eat fresh meat and fish, but you can also occasionally drink some wine to relax.
Of course, a large part of these things were purchased voluntarily and donated free of charge by merchants.
They longed more than anyone for the lord Allen to lead an army to defeat the enemy and directly bring the entire southern region under their control.
In this way, you don't have to pay several extra taxes when you go to the south to do business.
In contrast, Southern Lands's army is slightly worse, and can only barely guarantee the supply of staple food, cured meat, salted fish and other easy-to-store foods.
If it weren't for the bonus of faith, he would have been defeated in this confrontation long ago.
"Then do you think I can achieve the level of Ine Lily?" Sophia asked with a frown.
Allen smiled and shrugged, "I don't know, it depends on you. Anyway, I know that Clare, the current Warrior, and Jane, who is ranked ninth, all have such potential. In addition, there are some Warrior who have exceeded their own limits and their bodies are in Half-Awakened state, and they can still be forced back by willpower."
In fact, in the original plot, Awakened Beings can usually be divided into three categories.
One type is special cases like Clare and Jane who are clearly awakened, but can still recover with the help of strong willpower.
As for the second type, after awakening, he restrained his primitive instincts, still recognized his identity as a human being, and would not kill civilians at will, just to satisfy his own appetite.
The third category belongs to complete monsters. They no longer recognized their former human identity and began to hunt ordinary people as food and prey.
Allen It's not very clear whether the first type of person to return to human form from the awakened state is considered to be fully awakened, or whether it is more than half awakened and then forcibly terminated.
But he understood that the second and third types were manifestations of typical personal willpower.
Awakened Beings like Isley, Riful, Ricarudo are very calm from beginning to end, and are even willing to communicate with others. Even the timing of their awakening is chosen perfectly. They will never massacre villagers without any reason, and all their actions are carefully considered.
But their men who are just pretending to be innocent are rarely able to stay awake. Most of them are a group of idiots driven by primitive instincts and desires.
"No.9 Spiral Sword——Jane?" A strange color flashed in Sophia's eyes.
Allen nodded slightly. "Yes, that's her. If you are interested, you can go and see for yourself."
"Of course I'm going to see it!"
With that said, Sophia also turned around and walked out of the tent, leaving the military camp at a very fast speed and heading towards the dense woods in the northeast.
After she was completely gone, Allen slowly stood up from the chair, opened a portal and disappeared without a trace.
The next second...
He instantly appeared near a steep rock wall a few kilometers away.
Ace Spy - Lulu, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, immediately raised his head and teased in a half-joking tone, "Why have you waited so long and not launched a full-scale attack? Are you afraid?"
Allen sneered and retorted, "A full-scale attack? That sounds easy to say. In front of Holy Light energy, as long as he is not killed suddenly on the spot, he can be saved even if his heart is punctured. Instead of launching a meaningless war of attrition, it is better to wait patiently for the opportunity here and solve the trouble at the source."
"From the source? Ever since I saw the shocking sword that cut Holy City in half, I think it is almost impossible for you to defeat that woman." Lulu complained softly.
He regrets it now and should have sent out the information later.
That way, he can tell the country he works for exactly what happened at Holy City.
But now, it's all too late.
A round trip from the mainland to the island would take several months even on the fastest boat.
Therefore, this information cannot be sent out until the previous one is sent and a reply is obtained.
This is why, in the original plot, the organization was destroyed by a rebellion launched by Claymore, and the mainland failed to respond.
Because the communication is too slow.
By the time the other side reacted, the entire organization here had been uprooted, and all equipment, data, and researchers were destroyed, and the value of saving them had long been lost.
"Tell me, call me out at this time. What's the important thing for you?"
Allen asked as he walked to the campfire and sat down. He picked up a roasted pheasant without any ceremony, tore off one of the legs and ate it slowly.
"That's it! The organization just obtained a piece of information not long ago, that is, due to the three abyss jointly ruling Northern Lands, a series of changes suddenly occurred. It is said that a powerful female Awakened Being joined them, changing from the Big Three to the Big Four. And this female Awakened Being has a pair of wings and a striking unicorn..."
Speaking of this, Lulu suddenly paused.
Because the characteristics are too obvious, there is no need to continue talking about the next two parts.
"You mean... Priscilla went to Northern Lands and got mixed up with the three abyss?" Allen had a surprised expression on his face.
Two-dimensional, this psychopath, has been wandering around in inaccessible places for many years since he woke up ten years ago and was beaten away. Only when he was extremely hungry would he rush into the village and kill the villagers, devouring their internal organs and flesh.
He had always thought that this guy would not inexplicably run to the cold north like in the original plot.
But who would have thought that fate would actually make a big joke.
"No! This is not as simple as mixing them together! It's a new king taking the throne!" Lulu corrected in a serious tone. "As the only person who has ever fought against Priscilla, you should know best that she is by no means as simple as the abyss, but a terrifying existence that exceeds it by several orders of magnitude. Once such a guy learns Life Energy, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Don't the organization already have a Dark Twins who has successfully tested it? Why don't we just send them there." Allen looked like it didn't matter to him.
"Are you kidding? That's three Abyss, plus one super Abyss. With such combat power, even three groups of Dark Twins may not be enough. The organization hopes you can fulfill your original covenant! Help them fight against the all-out war caused by the Abyss moving south!"
After going around in circles for a long time, Lulu finally revealed the purpose of this meeting.
For three Abyssals, one super Abyss, and more than thirty Awakened Beings whose strength is comparable to the top five Claymore, even an organization with many trump cards feels a lot of pressure.
In the past, the main method used by organizations to control the abyss was to divide and disintegrate, allowing the three abyss to fight among themselves, and then use Dark Twins to defeat each one when the time was right.
But since Allen and Artoria arrived, an unprecedented involution began.
The Abyss, who couldn't wrap up these two outsiders, had no choice but to gather in the north and choose to join a group to stay warm.
And after learning Life Energy, they immediately chose to treat Land of the East, where the organization is located, as their imaginary enemy. Recently, they have even adopted an aggressive attitude that may attack them at any time.
The current situation on the entire island is that Western Lands controlled by Allen is intertwined with Southern Lands controlled by Artoria.
But Northern Lands controlled by the abyss and Land of the East controlled by the organization are really going to roll up.
Seeing the calm look on Lulu's face, Allen suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha! The destruction of the organization, isn't it the result you have always wanted? Why don't you look happy at all now?"
"I don't deny that I want to destroy the organization. But the problem is that being destroyed by you or those Claymore Warrior and being destroyed by Abyssals and Awakened Beings are two completely different concepts. The former is rational and will not lose control after destroying the organization. But the latter is just the opposite. No one knows What kind of behavior will Awakened Beings do after acquiring the organization's knowledge and technology? Just imagine what a terrifying scene it will be if they decide to let thousands of people under their control undergo transformation and awaken? If they can get enough ships to cross the sea, how much damage will they cause?"
When saying these words, Lulu's tone suddenly became more serious and serious than ever before.
In fact, just dozens of Awakened Beings, plus three abyss and one super Abyss heading across the sea to the mainland are enough to make people frightened.
What's more, there are thousands of Awakened Beings!
If this scene really happens, maybe the two countries on the mainland will be directly destroyed, the order will completely collapse, and it will become a complete purgatory on earth.
It's just like how the island looked like more than ten years ago.
That is definitely a disaster for civilization!
It is a disaster for all mankind!
As a somewhat responsible spy, Lulu would never allow such a situation to happen to his Hometown.
He would rather the organization continue to control the island than see the entire island turned into Awakened Beings's paradise and production base.
As for how the civilians on this island are living, he doesn't care...
