Dante Was Actually a Failed Product?

After the materials had been extracted, the rest of the process was relatively simple.

At least, it was a process Vegapunk was quite familiar with, such as gene selection and cell fusion.

"What marvelous genes..."

Under the observation of specialized scientific instruments, Vegapunk pressed his eyes to the lens, his expression animated as he studied the cells magnified countless times over.

He had actually already deciphered many of humanity's genetic secrets, such as which genes determined which traits.

Compared to a frail person, a strong person might simply have a certain gene expressed a little more actively.

For example, out of a strong person's ten thousand genes, perhaps ten were related to physical fitness.

For a frail person, the expression of those genes might only be one ten-thousandth as strong.

As for Austin and Big Mom...

The intensity of those genes' expression was even hundreds or thousands of times greater than that of ordinary people...

The more Vegapunk looked, the more cold sweat appeared on his face.

It was not as though he had never researched this before. Most biological weapons were cultivated by cleverly combining several powerful genes.

Since there were not many powerful genes, combining them was usually simple and crude.

But these two samples before him...

There were so many powerful genes that he could barely choose among them.

Combined with the information Austin had provided, both of them possessed many rather unique talents.

Such as Austin's [Innate Observation Haki] and [Monster Strength]...

Big Mom's [Steel Balloon]...

And the imposing spirit etched into their bones, the spirit destined to stand at the pinnacle of living beings—the [Conqueror's Haki Aptitude] that determined one's mental strength...

To gather so many exceptional traits within a single life, one careless mistake could cause it to burst apart.

Vegapunk had conducted nearly
