Lu Xi looked at the Regeneration Cradle. He remembered that in Avengers 2, Vision's body had been printed by this machine.
He smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I can do that too."
As he spoke, he looked at a white mouse in a cage on the lab table.
The little mouse looked sickly, missing limbs. It had probably been used in regeneration experiments.
Lu Xi extended a finger and lightly tapped forward. A gentle green glow enveloped the mouse.
Fresh pink flesh immediately sprouted from its severed limbs. In less than two seconds, it was completely restored, as if it had never been injured.
The mouse also seemed greatly invigorated. Its listless state vanished, and it began squeaking energetically.
Helen Cho's beautiful eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight. She cried out in disbelief:
"This isn't scientific! It completely violates the principles of biology and the laws of physics!"
Lu Xi grinned and said mysteriously:
"It isn't scientific, but it is magic. Some powers in this world cannot be explained by current scientific knowledge."
Helen Cho was somewhat dazed as she muttered to herself:
"You can do it with a single touch of your finger, so what were all my years of research and all that funding even for...?"
Helen Cho's face was full of disappointment, but a moment later, she suddenly looked at Lu Xi again.
Her eyes instantly lit up like two dazzling lightbulbs as she asked excitedly:
"Can that move treat internal illnesses? Things like leukemia and cancer, those difficult diseases?"
Lu Xi pondered for a moment before saying:
"I haven't tried it, but it should be possible. The essence of a Healing Spell is to provide pure life force. As long as the source of life is strong enough, even making an eighty-year-old woman young again would be no problem. The illnesses you mentioned should be treatable too."
The moment Helen Cho heard that, she looked as though she had discovered a new continent. She was so excited that she could barely contain herself.
She clenched her hands, fanatic light flashing in her eyes as she spoke in a rush:
"Can you let me study it? If this succeeds, humanity will no longer have to suffer from these illnesses, or even be limited by lifespan."
"Then I'll become the trailblazer of a new era in modern medicine. My name will be written into every medical textbook, and I'll become an eternal legend in the medical world!"
Lu Xi merely smiled without saying anything as he watched her reach the height of excitement.
Seeing that Lu Xi did not respond, Helen Cho became anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Her eyes shifted, and she suddenly put on a coquettish expression. She gently hugged Lu Xi's arm, swaying it from side to side as she said in a soft, sweet voice:
"Please, okay? This is something that could change the fate of all humanity. Just agree to it."
Lu Xi smiled and asked:
"First, tell me how you plan to study it."
Helen Cho thought for a moment, then eagerly gave her answer:
"First, we'd need to give you a comprehensive examination. Blood tests, urine tests, genetic testing, all of that is essential. It would be best to take tissue samples too..."
The moment Lu Xi heard that, he hurriedly raised a hand to stop her.
"Stop, stop, stop. That's impossible, so don't even think about it."
Helen Cho looked utterly confused and quickly asked:
"Why? Would it harm you?"
Lu Xi shook his head and explained, "It probably wouldn't cause any harm, but haven't you watched science fiction movies?"
"In those stories, once samples such as a powerful person's blood are taken for analysis, nothing good usually comes afterward. Take Abomination, who appeared not long ago. Wasn't he created after being injected with Hulk's blood?"
Yet Helen Cho remained persistent, her eyes filled with anticipation as she said:
"I can be careful. I absolutely guarantee that I won't leak the samples or the data!"
"And aren't you curious about what your own physical makeup is like? Maybe through research, you could gain an entirely new understanding of yourself."
That did remind Lu Xi. He had indeed never conducted biological research on himself.
But he still shook his head firmly.
"Even if I were to study myself, I could only entrust something like that to one of my own people."
Helen Cho's eyes rolled as she looked at Lu Xi's handsome face.
She lightly pressed her lips together, as though she had made some sort of decision.
Suddenly, she pulled Lu Xi over to a sofa and gently pressed him down onto it.
Lu Xi looked surprised, asking with an amused smile, "What are you doing?"
Helen Cho's gaze became increasingly seductive.
"Then we can become our own people, can't we?"
She slowly tied up her hair, revealing her slender neck.
Then, with a sudden burst of force, she pounced directly onto Lu Xi. She wrapped her arms tightly around him and unhesitatingly bit down on his lips.
In the Hell Dimension, within Mephisto's territory, an incomparably massive conference table stood in the center.
As the lord of this territory, Mephisto sat at the central seat.
Around him sat a group of demon gods, each one renowned and a genuine Skyfather-level powerhouse.
Chthon, Cyttorak, Baphomet, Beelzebub, Satannish...
Every one of them had carved out a territory of their own in the Hell Dimension and become a fearsome lord.
Among them, the two heavyweights, Chthon and Cyttorak, were particularly extraordinary in strength.
Their true bodies had long transcended the realms of Skyfather-level and Universal-level, reaching the terrifying Multiversal-level.
Traces of their dark magic could be found in nearly every Parallel Universe.
However, their true bodies were not in this Universe. Those seated here were merely their counterpart avatars.
Normally, these demon gods schemed against one another, fighting constantly amid tangled relationships.
Mephisto had gone to enormous lengths this time to finally gather these fellows in one place.
Chthon was the first to break the silence. His voice seemed to come from an endless abyss of darkness, carrying a hint of impatience.
"What is it? Hurry up and say it. Don't waste our time."
Mephisto did not beat around the bush and said directly:
"Lucifer's true body has entered Earth!"
The moment those words were spoken, it was like a massive bomb had fallen into a calm lake, instantly stirring up towering waves.
"What? How is that possible? How did he do it?"
"Are you lying to us? There is clearly still a lord's aura in his territory!"
Earth, a precious land containing vast numbers of high-quality souls, had always been coveted by these demon gods.
However, with Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, protecting Earth, entering it was as difficult as ascending to Heaven.
Even if a demon god somehow found a sliver of opportunity to attempt to descend upon Earth in their true body, the other demon gods would certainly sabotage them in secret. With everyone restraining one another, no one could succeed easily.
Over time, a subtle and bizarre balance had formed among these demon gods.
Mephisto looked at the crowd and raised his voice.
"I am not lying this time. Don't just sense Hell. Sense Earth yourselves. Isn't there another Lucifer's aura there?"
The demon gods all closed their eyes as immense spiritual power surged toward Earth.
A moment later, Chthon was the first to open his eyes, surprise in his voice.
"Indeed! How did he do it?"
Cyttorak immediately followed:
"No, the one on Earth seems to have come from another Parallel Universe."
The moment that was said, the demon gods erupted. They all began arguing at once.
Seeing this, Mephisto said loudly:
"Everyone, the reason none of us wanted to join forces to attack Earth before was because no one wanted the others to get there first and seize the greatest benefit."
"But now, that understanding has been broken. Someone has entered ahead of us, so why don't we join forces, attack Earth, kill Ancient One, and divide the souls!"
Greedy light flashed in the eyes of all the demon gods upon hearing this.
"Agreed."
"Fine."
"Let's do it!"
At that moment, Cyttorak raised a critical question:
"But there is one problem. Who will take the lead?"
The lively scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone knew that those at the front were often the most likely to become cannon fodder.
Moreover, this was a dimensional battle for survival between Skyfather-level beings. Once they truly went all out, the chances of having to fight desperately were extremely high.
Therefore, the vanguard position might leave one severely injured and dormant, or even directly killed.
Seeing the demons fall silent, a crafty look flashed across Mephisto's face as he slowly said:
"I have a plan. Since the Lucifer from a Parallel Universe has shown no regard for the rules, then the Lucifer of our Universe cannot stay uninvolved either!"
"Why don't we all go to his territory and make him our pathfinding vanguard? If he dares refuse, we'll destroy him first and divide his territory!"
The others all revealed expressions of agreement.
They did not care who the vanguard was, as long as it was not them.
Following the principle of sacrificing a fellow Daoist rather than oneself, this decision seemed perfectly suitable.
