"Human Transmutation..."

Blood-sucking recovery!

"Human Transmutation..."

Blood-sucking recovery!

"Damn it! I can't keep doing Human Transmutation! I feel like I'm starting to enjoy this feeling!"

Wang Zhen didn't count how many times he had performed Human Transmutation; he only felt that he was beginning to grow fond of this cycle of self-mutilation... blood-sucking... recovery... self-mutilation. No matter how one looked at it, it was a rather perverted routine!

He had even exhausted the blood from the oversized steel drum next to him—enough to submerge a person—five times over!

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing!

This applies to everything!

Wang Zhen knew he had just pushed it a bit too far!

Fortunately, he had just run out of the blood used for physical recovery, which allowed him to snap out of his extreme excitement and regain his reason and composure.

"Selene, do I have any abnormal changes?" Wang Zhen felt something was off, but since he couldn't see it himself, he asked Selene directly.

"Master, please look! Your hair has turned dark red, and your canines have become longer and sharper..."

Wang Zhen looked into the mirror Selene held up and found that, as she said, there were indeed some changes in his appearance. However, they weren't drastic enough to make someone immediately identify him as an alien at a glance.

"Dead River"... emerge!

With a light stomp from Wang Zhen, the "Philosopher's Stone" Transmutation Circle instantly expanded outward from his feet, growing to about thirty meters in the blink of an eye.

Wang Zhen had Selene toss the byproducts of his Human Transmutation—those Cthulhu-like Homunculus larvae—into his "Dead River," which was his "Philosopher's Stone" Transmutation Circle.

He wanted to test what this special ability, unique to Alucard's lineage and capable of converting living beings into "lives," would turn these Homunculi into after they were cast into the "Dead River."

Especially since his "Dead River" ability was actually a "Philosopher's Stone" Transmutation Circle, he was curious about what these Homunculi would become!

Wang Zhen watched as the Cthulhu-like Homunculus larvae entered the "Philosopher's Stone" transmutation; they were immediately enveloped by the blood-red radiance emitted by the circle. At the same time, the "Philosopher's Stone" Transmutation Circle began to rotate slowly, its crimson glow growing ever more intense...

Wang Zhen also began to pour his mental energy into the circle to accelerate its rotation. After all, anyone seeing this scene would surely want to purge the demons and slay the evil!

Perhaps because there were only a few dozen Homunculus larvae, the transmutation circle only ran for a few minutes before it transmuted those writhing Cthulhu monsters into individual eyeballs!

Looking at the eyeballs covering the ground, Wang Zhen's temples began to throb violently.

A headache!

A truly massive headache!

Although these things were slightly more pleasing to the eye than the writhing worm-monsters from before, they were still distinctly Lovecraftian!

So, they were only slightly more pleasing!

Definitely not any more than that!

When he picked up one of the eyeballs, he discovered it was incredibly bizarre!

It was an eerie white eyeball with a pupil shaped like an abstract geometric Ouroboros pattern.

"This eyeball... it's called the 'Ouroboros Eye'... and it's actually alive? Is this the true form of the Homunculus, and those Cthulhu worm-monsters were just the twisted mutations caused by their inability to adapt to the world's rules?"

"Just like how the 'Philosopher's Stone' can replace matter, can this replace a transmutation circle? But does each eyeball only replace one type of circle?"

At first, Wang Zhen felt that compared to the super-talented Homunculi, the ability of the "Ouroboros Eye" wasn't very strong, especially since he could already cast transmutation circles instantly by "fleecing" the system.

Soon, Wang Zhen thought of a concept he had previously shelved! That concept required the integration of many transmutation circles. Although he could cast them instantly, stacking and combining multiple circles still required a massive amount of mental energy. Therefore, Wang Zhen had been searching for a way to perfectly stack and combine multiple circles.

And here it was!

Wang Zhen looked at the dozens of "Ouroboros Eyes." Although their appearance was quite something, even Wang Zhen had to admit that if these things could truly realize his concept, he would have to say from the bottom of his heart, "You are ugly, but you are very gentle!"

Wang Zhen collected all the "Ouroboros Eyes," put them into a bag, and returned with Selene.

"Selene, help me make four guns based on these dimensions and parameters! The materials must be sufficiently sturdy, heat-resistant, cold-resistant, insulated, and impact-resistant—in short, high durability!"

"No problem!"

Wang Zhen collapsed onto a lounge chair to rest while waiting for Selene to finish the guns. "If the 'Ouroboros Eye' can fit into that concept, it won't just significantly enhance my strength; it will also increase my attack range and make my combat modes much more diverse!"

Selene worked quickly, and before long, she returned with four handguns that were slightly long and looked incredibly exaggerated and domineering.

Two of them were the "Casull" (silver) and the "Jackal" (black)—the very same black-and-white pistols used by Alucard in Hellsing.

The other two were modified Remington 1875 revolvers (the sidearms of the Gunslinger from The Dark Tower).

Wang Zhen picked them up one by one to test them. Although he liked the "Casull" and the "Jackal," these two black-and-white pistols were Alucard's signature weapons, appearing constantly and becoming as famous as Dante's Ebony & Ivory from Devil May Cry.

Therefore, after drinking Alucard's blood, turning into a vampire, and gaining his own "Dead River" ability, Wang Zhen had a change of heart!

Wang Zhen no longer wanted to be associated with Alucard; he had even abandoned the idea of cosplay. Consequently, he didn't want to use these signature Alucard guns either!

Even though the "Casull" and the "Jackal" were more domineering and insane, Wang Zhen reluctantly put them down and turned to the two modified Remington 1875 revolvers with swing-out cylinders. These guns were particularly popular in Hollywood Westerns, used by many cowboys in films. However, what truly made them famous was the fantasy film The Dark Tower, where the Gunslinger, played by Idris Elba, performed incredible feats with the modified Remington 1875s. Almost any short video on revolver shooting or gun-fu would inevitably feature that specific sequence of his revolver gun-fu!

"Cool!"

"Cool!"

"So handsome and cool!"

With a Remington 1875 gripped in each hand, Wang Zhen felt the vibe hit him instantly!

Perhaps the Remington 1875 lacked the overbearing madness of the Casull and the Jackal, but it was undeniably handsome, exceptionally cool, and beyond dispute, both handsome and cool!

And so, Wang Zhen made his decision!

This was the one!

After all, being handsome is a lifelong commitment!
