Artificial God

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Er, dressed in an azure yukata, floated to his side and asked curiously.

An Qingyu set the experiment report in his hand on the table and spoke with a grave expression:

"Just as Yurina Kurotetsu suspected, Yurina Takishiro was detained by the Oracle Envoys the moment he was born and became Subject Zero. For the first three years, since Yurina Takishiro's body had not yet fully developed, the experiments mainly involved observation and blood sample collection. Once he turned four, they began injecting him with all sorts of drugs...

"The composition of these drugs was extremely complex, and several ingredients did not seem to be conventional chemicals artificially refined. They should have come from somewhere else and possessed terrifying potential. While developing new types of artificial hormones, they injected them into Yurina Takishiro. After every injection, there was a high probability of severe side effects.

"Whenever these side effects appeared, they injected another drug that overdraws potential. Its composition was similar to the Night Watchmen's Ghost God's Pull, though somewhat milder. In tiny doses, it would not kill him immediately..."

"They injected artificial hormones to drive him to the brink of death, then overdraw his potential to bring him back?" Jiang Er's brows knitted tightly. "He was only a thirteen-year-old child... What exactly were they trying to do?"

"Potential activation, bloodline purification, genetic recombination." An Qingyu looked at the report before him and slowly said:

"They... wanted to create a god."

"Create a god?!"

"Using scientific means to make a human break through their physiological limits, drawing infinitely close to divinity and perhaps even entering the divine realm—this was the ultimate purpose of this thirteen-year experiment," An Qingyu said calmly.

"But entering the divine realm requires laws. How could science possibly grant him laws?" Jiang Er asked.
