About half an hour later.
Reilo had tried all kinds of stimuli on the experimental specimen, but he still couldn't force it into a fourth Potential Overdraft state. He began to regret injecting it with such a generous amount of life serum earlier. With no other choice, he signaled to An Liya again.
"Try forcing it with your Double Helix Gene Law."
An Liya said, "Once we begin, its fundamental nature of life will be changed to some extent. It'll be difficult to restore it to its original state, and it may undergo uncontrollable mutations. That would render it completely useless."
At a time like this, every living Destroyer specimen was invaluable. A living specimen of a level-three Destroyer was especially precious; the X Advancement Academy had only four at present.
"I know what I'm doing."
After Reilo gave her the go-ahead, An Liya suddenly exuded a terrifying aura that made everyone deeply uneasy.
In the perception of the high-level scholars, one after another, twisted phantoms of the Double Helix Law poured endlessly from An Liya into the Destroyer, like a series of warped mirrors.
Generally speaking,
the more eerie and terrifying a law's aura, the greater its intimidating effect on lesser life-forms. But compared with truly sublime Law Power, such laws were often inferior. Truly universal higher laws could easily affect millions of people in their daily lives, bringing with them only a sense of awe and an ancient, timeless presence. Laws that inspired terror, on the other hand, often arose in unknown realms from unusually obscure angles, and were therefore usually of a lower order.
But the Double Helix Gene Law, derived from the T-Gene Engineering Blueprint, was clearly no inferior law.
When people first sensed its eerie mystery, they often sensed a vast, penetrating presence as well.
