With Curt Connors's complete experimental data, Li Si could easily destroy this regenerative ability. After all, this severed tail was practically no different from a living creature. Injecting it with another dose of Modification Serum would easily cause its genes to collapse.
But he hadn't fully figured out the severed tail yet, and it seemed a shame to discard it just like that.
The tail's genes were different from Curt Connors's when he transformed into the Lizard. The game system seemed to have made certain adjustments to its genes. Otherwise, this tail, detached from the Lizard's body, would have already disintegrated and dissolved once the Lizard Serum wore off.
The cells modified by the Lizard Serum fell into two categories. One was the direction of Curt Connors's original research: unstable links were formed between lizard genes and the genes in the original stem cells, giving those stem cells the ability to divide and differentiate rapidly thanks to the lizard genes.
These normally modified cells were primarily composed of human genes. After a certain period, the linked lizard genes would fall away, and both the original stem cells and the cells produced through division and differentiation would return to their initial state. Any cells that had undergone irreversible changes would be expelled from the body through metabolism.
The other type was cells produced through aberrant proliferation. The Decay Formula had been applied to mouse genes rather than human genes, and this ultimately led to a major error in the calculations.
Although, through some twist of fate, this not only failed to cause genetic collapse but also achieved the intended effect, some of the stem cells had inevitably undergone aberrant changes.
There were usually very few aberrant stem cells, perhaps only a few dozen or a few hundred. But these cells were
