Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Biochemistry VS Steam Machinery (Part II)

Biochemistry.

Ever since Han Dong tasted the sweetness of the G-virus in “Mist”, he decided to spend more time exploring the potential of the virus.

The reason why such a powerful virus would appear in the low-to-mid-range fate events was due to its inherent danger. If any other apprentice knight had obtained the virus, they would likely have undergone irreversible mutations in the academy, lost consciousness, and been executed by the knights.

Such a ‘bioweapon’ can only be safely handled by a scientist like Han Dong, who is able to reduce the risk to a minimum and maximize its potential.

Han Dong had conducted many experiments and utilized the “Glaze” transformation in the Stargazing Room.

This was Han Dong’s first public display of his perfect biochemical form.

Technology.

Although the Gold Master had control over the highest steam technology in the Holy City, it did not mean that he had the knowledge of biochemistry. Moreover, due to specific reasons, the development of biology and chemistry in the Holy City was immature…

This perfect biochemical form made the Gold Master uneasy.

“This is beyond the capabilities of Plague Studies in Mysticism… This young man holds unknown scientific knowledge in his hands.

Newton.

I need the most detailed information on this student before the end of the competition.”

Kongriff Newton, Vice Captain of the Steam Knights.

A middle-aged man who wore an aristocratic wig, a “wise man” in the Holy City on par with Mr. Black White, and also the Gold Master’s most trusted deputy.

The entire operation of the Steam Knights is funded and authorized by the Gold Master, managed and enforced by Newton.

The Gold Master’s power allowed him to obtain any intelligence in the Holy City… except for two places.

One was the information in the core archives deep within the council, and the other was the precious information stored in the office of Captain Hugo, the Secret Language Knights.

…

“What is this form?”

The form that Han Dong exhibited shocked the whole audience.

Judging from Han Dong’s previous performances, he mainly used a combination of “death” and “yellow sand” rare black magic. He was a unique black mage.

But now… the physical changes he displayed could not be classified under black magic.

Many knights were discussing the form of Han Dong.

“Plague?

It is rumored that when the ‘Plague Mutant’ is trained to the extreme, due to the fusion of bacterium and cells, the individual’s power increases significantly. Isn’t that what the Great Plague Chief accomplished?”

“No, that’s not right! The transformation of the Great Plague Chief is characterised by ‘fungal spots’… There won’t be such obvious physical changes.

Could it be a completely new plague variant?

It is rumored that Mr. Black White’s student has been studying magic with Vice President Hera in the library on the side. Now it seems that he hasn’t abandoned either path.

Like the Great Plague Chief.

Let two seeds burst open and have a perfect fusion! Another dual cultivation genius has appeared!”

The fact that Han Dong took up secondary studies had only been circulating privately and had never been officially announced.

In the Knight Convention, Han Dong mainly utilized black magic, leading many to believe that he had abandoned Mysticism.

The fact proves that Han Dong didn’t give up either.

He used black magic for remote attacks.

Then he used the plague to strengthen himself and enhance his close combat skills.

This is Han Dong’s “dual cultivation”.

This scene immediately sparked discussions among the council members.

“The current technology and development direction of the plague can’t achieve these kinds of mutations… Nicholas, you’ve truly amazed me.”

Even the Great Plague Chief himself gave a high appraisal.

…

In the garden.

The battle was still ongoing.

The moment when the syringe in Guli’s hand, along with his finger, were broken.

“Blade”

The transparent glaze that covered his whole body was not fixed. The effect of G-virus could still be displayed.

A crescent-shaped blade, exactly one meter long, formed on the surface of the forearm.

Whirring~~

Hundreds of sturdy muscle wires drilled out from pre-reserved glaze holes… connected to the back of the blade, enhancing its ‘maneuverability’.

The moment Guli’s injection failed.

A slash came down.

Even though Guli’s brain, in conjunction with the differential machine’s operating system, identified the danger signal in the first instance and retreated instinctively,

He still couldn’t completely dodge it.

Whoosh…

From the shoulder to the abdomen.

The surface skin and the interior alloy (containing 50% pure copper with a specific effect on demons) were cut open… but the internal structure was intact.

“What a pity, it only cut through the surface skin… This creature’s response is much faster than a human’s, otherwise, it would have succeeded just now.

I mustn’t drag out the fight, once he completely dissected my current posture, we’ll be in a war of attrition… My body cannot maintain this for long.

But, this creature is too insane… To modify the body to this extent.”

Because the ‘epidermis’ has been completely cut open.

The structure of Guli’s body is now fully exposed to the public.

This is an individual who, based on a human and completely transformed using top-level steam machinery technology… Much more complex than prosthetics.

Combined steam hydraulic devices have been inserted into Guli’s heart.

The left and right atrium are equipped with corresponding pressure gauges and a self-rotating gear structure that can automatically regulate pressure to optimize blood supply.

All the blood vessels have been replaced with flexible metal tubes capable of withstanding higher pressures with more reasonable arrangements.

Every organ has undergone massive modification, either packed with a metal membrane, inlaid with gears of various sizes, or pierced and filled with foreign objects.

Every muscle has been embedded with micrometer-level clockwork mechanisms that provide unimaginable strength and speed in combination with the super-heart pressure supply.

…

“The human body should not be able to accept this level of modification, just from the biological point of view… The ‘immune rejection’ would kill the individual directly, the chance of survival is zero.

Not to mention under the current level of technological development which is even worse than in my previous world.

The reason this graduate could become a perfect homunculus must have something to do with his own “Gift Tree”.

I can’t give him more analysis time, I must make it quick.”

The perfectly biochemically transformed Han Dong didn’t slow down.

As Guli evaded the blade, Han Dong kept up in the first instance…

With the blade locked onto Guli’s body, once the heart drive is destroyed, Guli won’t have enough power to support this body.

But.

Just as Han Dong approached.

Guli abruptly braced his toes against the ground, stopped retreating.

The high-intensity spring structure attached to the forearms jettisoned a blade that shone with black light from the arm… a similarly ‘hand-knife’ structure to Han Dong’s.

Clink!

The blades collided.

The ground cracked as a result.

“Chen Li…”

“Yes, Master.”

An odd Yin Qi emanated from Han Dong’s body, it was more information than Guli had collected.

Speed increased exponentially.

The feet drove the body to spin at a super-fast speed.

Blink!

Han Dong instantaneously moved from the front to the back of the target…

Whoosh!

The hand knife transformed into a spiral lance, piercing through Guli’s heart with a single blow.

At the same time, a wave of corrosive death spread throughout his body.

Even metal will oxidize faster under the influence of death, turning into scrap iron.
