Crimson Moon's eyes were cautious. This last step could not be tested before. Success or failure depended on Dean's own characteristics. She had transformed Dean's body into a body that matched the Aragami's heart, but whether it could be a perfect match or not depended on luck.
"Test the experimental body's condition." Crimson Moon ordered.
Several old men immediately took out various instruments and started to work on Dean's body. After a while, all kinds of data were collected.
"Blood pressure stable …"
"Spirit stable …"
"Magic mark stable …"
"God's blood dissolved, stable …"
…
As Crimson Moon listened to the old men's report, her pupils faintly turned scarlet. The world in her eyes immediately changed, and she saw many things that she couldn't see before. Under the strange detection of her pupils, Dean's body gradually calmed down. The God's Blood and the magic mark in his body formed a triangle, confronting each other and stabilizing.
"Get ready." Crimson Moon took a deep breath and took out a scalpel. She slowly cut open Dean's chest. The tough skin was like a thin film in front of the special sharp scalpel. It was easily cut open. Her slender hands became agile at this moment. Dean's chest was quickly cut open layer by layer, including the ribs. She used the bone cutting knife to cut open the ribs.
The whole process was silent, like a piano master playing a great divine song.
Dong dong!
A red heart was beating in the chest under the ribs. It contracted and contracted, and the blood was flowing out. The red heart was originally a human, but now the edge was black. It was the infection of the God's blood.
Crimson Moon paused, and then her fingers danced quickly. In an instant, a shadow appeared. In the blink of an eye, the red heart in Dean's chest had fallen into her hands. It was still beating.
A slight tremor came from her fingers. Crimson Moon did not abandon the heart. Instead, she gently put it on the tray that had been prepared. Then she took out the dark purple Aragami's heart, quickly connected the blood vessels, and buried it in Dean's chest.
The experiment continued.
The whole room was silent. The old men did not even dare to breathe as they stared at this magical scene. They had seen some crazy alchemists do experiments to change the heart, and even the brain, but the process was much more bloody and brutal than this. Naturally, there were countless experimental subjects, but only a few of them succeeded. Even if they succeeded, it did not mean that they would always succeed in the future.
This thing depended on probability and luck.
After a long time, when Crimson Moon's fingertips lifted from the skin of Dean's chest, the old men came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream. They saw that Dean's chest had been stitched up by silk thread. The silk thread could secrete healing mucus, which would gradually dissolve in body temperature and help the wound heal faster. This was the favorite material for stitching wounds for hunters.
Crimson Moon's forehead was full of sweat, not because she was tired, but because she was nervous. She took the towel handed by the old man next to her and wiped it. Seeing that Dean's chest was slightly moving up and down, she was a little relieved. Then she thought of Dean's heart that was lying idle on the side. She was just about to order them to freeze the heart and keep it for future use, but before she could say anything, her face changed.
A thick black color emerged from Dean's chest, and the skin on the surface seemed to be dyed black. Moreover, this black color spread like thick ink, and gradually spread. Half of his chest was already faintly visible inside, turning blue and purple.
At the same time, Dean, who was in a coma, was frowning. His face was full of pain. The two magic marks on his chest and abdomen once again exuded exuberant cold air and boiling heat. Under this abnormal temperature, Dean's skin quickly lost its luster and became very dim, and the epidermis gradually decayed.
"How could it be …" Several old men saw this abnormality, a little shocked and a little nervous.
Crimson Moon's face was ugly, and she quickly said, "Check his physical condition."
The old men reacted and quickly took out the instruments to check. Soon, all the data were found to be abnormal, either exceeding or lower than the original index, including Dean's heartbeat frequency, which had reached a shocking level. It swelled three times per second, and the frequency was getting faster and faster, and the amplitude of the vibration was getting larger and larger. With the naked eye, Dean's chest was shaking violently, and even the metal platform he was lying on seemed to be trembling slightly, as if a heavy punch was hitting it again and again. The force was so great that it was terrifying.
Under this violent beating, Dean's chest showed faint signs of tearing, as if the heart inside was about to break out of the shell.
"Your Highness, the experimental body will collapse if this continues!"
"He can't bear it anymore!"
Several old men hurriedly looked at Crimson Moon, waiting for her orders.
Crimson Moon's face changed, and she fiercely clenched her silver teeth. She reached out and pressed on Dean's chest, growling, "Inject him with nutrients and God's Marrow to stabilize his body first. In addition, take out the Arctic Worm Serum and inject it into him!"
An old man's eyes widened, and he said in shock, "Your Highness, if we inject the Arctic Worm Serum, his Magic Mark of the Splitter will transform again, this, this will not be unbalanced …"
"Do as I say!" Crimson Moon fiercely glared at him. If it wasn't for the urgency of the situation and the need for their help, she would have already killed him.
The old man trembled under Crimson Moon's glare, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. His heart was extremely scared, and he hurriedly nodded, quickly turned around, and ran away.
After a moment, several old men took the materials and injected them into Dean's body according to Crimson Moon's instructions. With the injection of nutrients and God's Marrow, Dean's body slightly calmed down, but his heart was still beating violently. Even Crimson Moon, who was pressing on Dean's chest, was pushed up and down, and the frequency of her whole body's undulation was already in line with Dean's heartbeat.
When the Arctic Worm Serum was injected, the cold air in Dean's right arm increased, and the cold ice spread to the right half of Dean's chest. But soon, the spreading ice quickly retreated. At this moment, Dean's whole body had turned blue, and the color was gradually darkening. Near his chest and abdomen, and other places had already turned purple, and some places had even turned black. This was not the skin color of a suntanned skin, but a kind of deep black that could absorb light.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Dean's heartbeat seemed to be faintly coming from his chest, as if there was a sledgehammer hammering the flesh and blood in his chest.
Crimson Moon clenched her teeth. She had the most intuitive feeling, and she could feel that what she was pressing seemed to be a desperately struggling life. If it wasn't for her special pupils to see the situation inside, she would even suspect that the Aragami's heart had evolved into a separate life form.
Shortly after the injection of the Arctic Worm Serum, the slightly calmer heartbeat became vigorous again, and it was even stronger than before.
Crimson Moon immediately ordered people to continue the injection.
Five bottles of Arctic Worm Serum were continuously injected into Dean's body, and the frequency of his heartbeat gradually increased. It seemed that the Arctic Worm Serum could no longer suppress the strong beating.
"Your Highness, this won't do. His body is not compatible at all, and if this goes on, his body will completely decompose!" An old man who seemed to have a higher status bit the bullet and said.
Crimson Moon clenched her teeth. How could she not know this, but the experiment had already gone to this step, was she really going to give up like this?
At this time, the skin near Dean's chest was rapidly festering. The chest that Crimson Moon was pressing on had already changed from smooth and tough to soft, like mud, and it would collapse with a little force.
It still didn't work … She was angry in her heart, but she held it back. She quickly took out the scalpel and cut open Dean's chest. This time, the action was much more violent than before. As soon as the ribs were cut, she saw two purple-black tentacles suddenly stretched out from inside, wrapping around her wrist.
She was slightly startled, and the next moment, she felt the blood on her wrist quickly rushing out. The purple-black tentacles were like leeches, extending their tiny tip into her wrist and sucking her blood!
Her face was ugly, and her palm quickly reached in and quickly broke open Dean's chest. At this moment, she had no time to care about the damage this rough action caused to Dean's body. The latter was already a waste product, and she was only worried about whether she would lose this Aragami heart. After all, she only had two of these things, one was Sylvia's, and the other was the Aragami that Amelie's tribe worshiped.
When the Aragami heart was pulled out, it had changed greatly. It was no longer the oval shape, but a purple-black ball full of tentacles. It looked like a sea urchin, but the tentacles were longer than the spines on the surface of the sea urchin, and they were soft, constantly swaying as if they had a life of their own.
Looking at this strange heart, the old man and Crimson Moon felt a chill. Sylvia had died long ago, but her heart was not dead, and it actually hid such a strong vitality!
This was the vitality of a god?!
Crimson Moon took a deep breath, quickly pulled out the purple-black tentacles wrapped around her wrist, and threw the constantly twisting heart to the old man next to her. "Keep it, seal it!"
