The orange fat cells looked rounder and more symmetrical. After special processing, they emitted even more dazzling light and heat when burned.
Even under ordinary combustion, their flames would shoot out like jets!
Scientists believed this was mainly because the fat cells of these Mythical Creatures were more compatible with the current methods of storing Cosmic Energy.
"Our research has made some progress. It isn't limited to fat cells—the other cells have also shown promising results."
"Over the past two days, I've read many knight novels involving magic. Some of them also described these strange creatures. They all had something very special in common: like the humans in those stories, they could use magic or other sorts of skills."
"If the organisms these samples came from are truly as described in those novels, then that means they possess flexible methods of storing and releasing Cosmic Energy."
"They're more compatible with Cosmic Energy than human cells, and they use it in more advanced and sophisticated ways. All of this will be of great help as we continue adjusting the sequence of the 'Source.'"
The 'Source' was an unscheduled project that had emerged alongside the Gene Modifiers.
Perfect genes needed a "carrier." That made them easier to use and more uniform. It was like... I knew the cheat codes for a game. There was a long string of them, and once I entered them successfully, I could get the effects I wanted.
But entering them every time was troublesome, and occasionally I would make a mistake, ruining the continuity of the gaming experience.
If I had a modifier, however, I would only need to press a key combination—or even a single key—to achieve the desired effect. That would be incredibly convenient.
The Source worked the same way. It was a mass of
