The 1277th Anniversary Celebration: The Children of Midnight Have Truly Been Born This Time!

While Murphy was telling Brigadier Fraser a strange little story about another world, the operation to implant symbiotes into three test subjects had begun in the experimental area of the Murphy's Hammer airship.

The largest symbiote would be implanted in Bonnie to satisfy her hunger for power, while the two smaller ones would go to Dragonflame and Dorothy.

The former only needed the talent to resist Chaos, while the latter's foundations were too weak. She wouldn't be able to control the largest one.

But there was no real distinction between strong and weak. After observing Brigadier Fraser's growth in power over this period, old Flynn, a pioneer in biological modification, had basically concluded that symbiotes didn't have any particularly clear differences in strength.

Their power depended on the "nurturing" and "inheritance" of multiple hosts. Put simply, symbiotes split off from Dagon gradually took on some of each host's characteristics as they passed from one to the next.

Therefore, although all the symbiotes in the world currently originated from Dagon, no two symbiotes in this world were actually identical.

"Begin the experiment! Keep a close eye on the subjects' vital signs. Heru, be ready to administer suppressants at any moment."

Old Flynn, the lead surgeon, gave the order. Then he donned a medical mechanical arm designed specifically for delicate surgery. After briefly testing its joints, he began the biological modification of Bonnie.

Using a sharp monomolecular scalpel, he cut open Bonnie's generously endowed chest, marked with scars, and precisely severed the organ connections around her heart.

Since the subjects were vampires, there was no need to worry about them bleeding out quickly during the operation. On the other hand, the heart was taboo among vampires, and the slightest mistake while operating there could kill Bonnie on the spot.

Even Murphy wouldn't
