The Immortal Body
With Andrew and the other two guarding outside the study just in case, Chen Mo was finally ready to officially begin strengthening himself with the Pure Blood. He had been planning and working hard for this day for years!
After closing the study door, Chen Mo returned to his large desk and sat down. Before starting, Chen Mo first activated his senses, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the surrounding situation.
All the subtle, minute sounds entered Chen Mo's ears. The first sound was the steady, powerful heartbeats. Andrew and the other two were guarding outside the study, protecting the study door behind them.
Apart from the three of them, there was no other living thing around the study.
Alexander Corvinus, who was originally assigned to stand next to Chen Mo, was now lying weakly in a separate, extremely sturdy room behind the Castle after having a large amount of blood drawn from him.
With its reinforced concrete walls and heavy, sturdy, specially made steel gates, even Alexander Corvinus at his peak would not have been able to escape easily.
In addition, hundreds of fully armed Knights, except for half who guarded the Castle building where Chen Mo was, were all stationed here.
Even if he managed to escape, he would absolutely not be able to break through the three barriers formed by the Knights, especially the three of Andrew, who had been strengthened by the Pure Blood.
With their current strength, even Alexander Corvinas would have a hard time dealing with their combined attack.
With the external arrangements flawless and nothing unusual happening around him, Chen Mo opened his eyes and finally began to strengthen himself.
At first, he did what Andrew did: he drank a drop of Pure Blood directly.
After swallowing, Chen Mo waited quietly for a while, but found that there was no reaction at all, as if he had just drunk a drop of ordinary blood.
Chen Mo was not annoyed by his first failed attempt. Instead, he fell into deep thought. After a while, Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully.
After Andrew and the others drank the Pure Blood, they quickly completed their evolution, but he had no reaction after drinking it. The problem must lie in their physique.
Andrew is a vampire. They can directly absorb the blood they drink and use it for their own purposes. They can even extract the memories of the blood's owner from the blood.
However, as the Pure Blood eliminated their dependence on blood, this ability also disappeared.
Chen Mo is not a vampire. Although he is stronger than them, he is still a human and cannot directly use blood for his own purposes like a vampire.
Therefore, they had to find another way, but fortunately Chen Mo was prepared for this.
Opening the drawer under the table, Chen Mo took out some glassware and a set of syringes, which he had specially ordered the workshop to make so that they might be needed today.
At this moment, the medical knowledge that Chen Mo had learned from the school library came in handy.
First, Chen Mo took a drop of blood from his fingertip and dripped it into a glass container. Then he dripped a drop of Alexander Corvinus's blood into it. The two drops of blood came into contact in the container, merged, and became a larger drop of blood.
After a while, Chen Mo picked up a glass rod and tried it. The blood droplets were stirred by the glass rod and then merged back into a ball, lying quietly at the bottom of the container.
Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the two drops of blood had not clotted.
Actually, in terms of blood type alone, Chen Mo's blood type is AB, which means he is a universal recipient and can accept blood of any type. However, Alexander Corvinus's Pure Blood is very special, and Chen Mo does not dare to try it lightly. It is safer to test it first.
Since their blood wouldn't clot upon contact, Chen Mo felt reassured and proceeded to the next step.
After filling the syringe with Pure Blood, Chen Mo rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the vein on the inside of his elbow.
Finding the right spot, Chen Mo slowly inserted the needle into the blood vessel. After a slight pause, Chen Mo resolutely injected the Pure Blood into the vein.
Chen Mo injected the medication very slowly, ready to stop immediately if any problems arose, but clearly, his worries were unnecessary.
As the Pure Blood was injected, Chen Mo felt a hot, warm current flowing along his blood vessels into his body, and soon into his heart.
Then, his heart started to beat faster, and his body slowly got warmer, but he didn't feel anything bad.
The injected Pure Blood, along with the blood in his veins, was propelled by his powerful heart and quickly flowed to every part of Chen Mo's body. Wherever the Pure Blood flowed, the cells there began to change.
Under the influence of the Pure Blood, the genes in the cells begin to recombine, evolving towards a more perfect state.
However, after a while, the feeling began to gradually weaken as the entire tube of Pure Blood was injected into his body. Chen Mo knew that this was because there wasn't enough Pure Blood left in his body.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo continuously injected the large amount of Pure Blood he had prepared into his body. The burning sensation he had felt before returned, and it became even stronger than before.
Chen Mo felt as if his blood was boiling. It seemed that what flowed through his veins was not blood, but magma. Every part of his body that the blood flowed through felt as if it were being roasted by lava. The blood melted in the scorching heat and then solidified again, turning into a completely new substance.
The drastic changes in his body also brought Chen Mo immense pain, even more intense than when he received the Super Soldier Serum enhancement. After all, this was an evolution at the genetic level, with every nerve and every cell undergoing earth-shattering changes from the inside out.
Having had a similar experience, Chen Mo barely managed to stay conscious with his incredibly strong willpower. He leaned back in the large chair, sweat pouring down his face like rain.
As the Pure Blood continued to be injected, the intense pain finally reached its peak. Just before Chen Mo was about to collapse and fall into a coma, the evolution of all the cells in his body was finally completed.
New blood began to be produced continuously in Chen Mo's bone marrow, replacing the ordinary blood in his blood vessels. A feeling similar to that when he was injected with the Pure Blood before, but much gentler, surged around Chen Mo.
In the end, all the blood flowing through Chen Mo's body was replaced by his own newly generated blood, which was his own Pure Blood!
Having fused with the Pure Blood of Alexander Corvinus, Chen Mo's body underwent a tremendous change. His physical attributes, which had reached a bottleneck, finally broke through and were further enhanced.
Although the increase was not large, only seven times that of an ordinary human, Chen Mo could feel that his current physical attributes were far from reaching their limit. The Pure Blood had greatly enhanced his potential, and as time went on, his strength could continue to improve. As for what the limit was, Chen Mo did not know.
The Pure Blood did not simply enhance Chen Mo's physical attributes. The Pure Blood injected into his body had completely integrated into his body, modifying and strengthening his genes. His entire body was different from before, and his potential had become incredibly enormous as a result.
Chen Mo has not only accepted the Pure Blood, but has truly "possessed" the Pure Blood!
His genes and cells have changed, and the blood that is constantly produced from his bone marrow is Pure Blood, just like Alexander Corvinus's Pure Blood, or even more powerful!
Besides strengthening his body and giving him immense power and limitless potential, the Pure Blood also granted Chen Mo the ability to live forever!
The Super Soldier Serum enhancement that Chen Mo received in the Captain America world only greatly slowed down his aging process, allowing him to live much longer than ordinary humans. However, he would still age and die. That's why Chen Mo had Colonel Phillips and Howard Stark cryogenically frozen and take turns managing S.H.I.E.L.D..
The Pure Blood is different. Chen Mo truly possesses immortal life. Time will become nothing more than a set of numbers for him. He will no longer have to worry about spending too much time in the movie world and losing his life force or aging quickly.
From then on, Chen Mo possessed a truly immortal body.
After years of planning, strategizing, searching, and conquering, Chen Mo finally obtained everything he wanted.
After completing his enhancements, Chen Mo pushed open the door and walked out of the study. Andrew, Victor, and Amelia, who were on high alert outside the door, quickly turned around and bowed.
"Grown ups!"
"Lift the alert and bring little Selene to me."
Chen Mo gave instructions to the three of them.
"Yes, sir!"
After the three left, Chen Mo turned and went to the bathroom.
During the recent enhancement, Chen Mo was soaked in sweat, and his robe was sticking to his body uncomfortably. He needed to take a good wash.
With the help of the maid, Chen Mo took a comfortable bath. When he returned to his study feeling refreshed, Amelia was already waiting there with little Selene by the hand.
Andrew and Victor went to mobilize the Knights, lift the alert, and rearrange various tasks; they have not yet returned.
The two people in the study bowed and greeted Chen Mo as he returned.
"Grown ups!"
"My Lord!"
Little Selene stared at Chen Mo with wide eyes, wondering why the Lord had summoned her.
"Little Selene, come here."
Chen Mo waved to Selene, and the little girl walked over to Chen Mo with her short legs, tilting her head back to look at the towering figure of Chen Mo.
"Open your mouth."
Upon hearing this, little Selene thought Chen Mo was going to give her something delicious again, so she obediently opened her mouth.
The candies made in the workshop were incredibly sweet; they were one of the few things she could eat besides blood.
The Lord said that children shouldn't eat too much sugar, or they'll get cavities, and he only allows her to have one piece a day.
No one can disobey the Lord's orders, so no matter how much she pleaded with Amelia, she wouldn't give her an extra piece.
