Chapter 2397: Talk with leaders
The hour went past very quickly.
Sam just stayed inside the divine dimension. So, he spent almost ten hours in there. He had one of the live water creatures inside. He performed various tests on it.
He collected its blood samples, genetic material and put it through various tests. By now, he has done these kinds of tests way too many times and he had the apparatus ready. So, he managed to get most of the information.
One of the major revelations he has is that this creature is nothing but a genetic mutation gone wrong. The guy who performed the experiment seemed to have tried to create a mutation, which is very close to the transformation.
Just like the Lycans, Giants and the shapeshifters Sam has worked with and experimented with before.
But it missed one key element. The transformation gene. Essentially, the transformation gene acts as a bridge as well as a separator for the human gene and the mutation gene. For example, this gene separates the wolf gene and the human gene in a lycan, but still creates a bond.
When a transformation is triggered, it helps them merge together.
Currently, the transformation genes created by Sam serve this purpose as well. However, in the Lycans and Giants, this transformation gene has another important function, which is to allow the separation of the genes one again and allow the form to return to its original shape. Sam hasn't worked too much on this.
Because the surgeries he performed on Stone and the three Dark prince candidates, needed the permanent transformation.
He never needed the reverse transformation and he didn't work too much on it as well.
Anyway, the transformation that these humans underwent is relatively simple. The abominations created their own genes with some weird experiment with the genes of the beasts. They injected it into themselves with it and they turned into these abominations. Because of the lack of the transformation gene, and their lack of enough knowledge and experience in genetic engineering, they messed and triggered a permanent transformation. These new genes combined with the old genes created a weird mutation that changed them as creatures on a fundamental level.
Now they are no longer humans. There is no complete human gene. He could barely find any remnants of it.
He did think of ways to turn them back to normal. Usually, he would have opted for some virus or bacteria specially programmed to destroy those special genes. But in the current state if they tried that, then the creatures will die.
The other method is using the transformation gene on them. But this time to try and use a human gene to try a permanent transformation. But this appeared even more troublesome as he did some calculations.
When he made permanent changes on Stone and the prince candidates, he was still keeping the human gene as the fundamental and base gene.
He was also only doing a partial transformation in the body. He is not changing the complete genetic formula but was only making some minor and micro modifications.
But now, he has to make a complete body transformation and even if he did, there will be one change that he cannot bring back.
The brain. From all the heads that Sam collected he repeatedly checked their brains. The shape and structure is still very similar to that of a human's. And he noticed that it is basically fried. There are only instincts left in there.
No memories, habits or anything else. He even checked for the soul and he realized that the souls seemed to have collapsed. Their souls are shattered are basically very similar to a stray ghost that purely drives on instincts.
That means, they are irredeemable. At least with Sam's current expertise and research.
Then there is only one way to deal with them. To kill them all.
He had a few plans on his mind when he came out of the divine dimension and went to meet Naila.
"What did they say?"
"They are asking to speak to you?"
"That is it? They didn't reveal any inclinations?"
"What they hell are you saying..." Ronx got angry and was about to say something. But Naila gritted her teeth and shut the communication with the Ronx' settlement.
Sam turned to the remaining four.
"Please, do you have any questions?"
There is no answer. Just utter silence.
At the same time as if on cue, three men immediately cut the communication. Naila gritted
her teeth again, but she took a deep breath trying to figure out the situation.
"What about you?"
"I am curious."
"About?" "The fact that you are weaker than me, but you still talk way too big for your level. How are
you so confident that you can help us deal with this crisis?
This is an existential threat.
Is the external world that powerful that even a person of your level can carry means to solve
these kinds of threats?"
"External world is very powerful. But I can't say much about my peers. But I can assure you, if
I can't do it, none of them can. And I can confidently say that I do carry the means to do it.
Anyway, you still haven't answered."
"Well, then here is my counter offer. Your peers that you spoke of. I believe I have the location
of one of them.
In the forest nearest to my settlement. There is a disturbance and our recon found a human fighting with swarms of land abomination lackeys.
And I am willing not just trade that person in, but will agree to all your conditions and more.
But you have to prove yourself first."
"Great, another test." Sam said sarcasm apparent in his tone.
"This won't be the same as Naila's test. It just proved your allegiance. But what I want is a
proof of your capability.
Resolve the immediate crisis that is being faced by Naila's settlement. Then I will agree and
do whatever you say."
