"Chief, the intensity had already reached 50%. This is already five times the maximum intensity we have previously used on our other subjects," Alin said to the old scientist with astonishment after looking at the data shown on the digital tablet.
"Have the cells shown signs of collapsing?" the old scientist asked.
Alin shook her head. "No, his genetic structure is sturdier than we imagined. Every time it reaches the brink of breaking down, it somehow reinforces itself, repairing the previous damage and strengthening his genes further."
The old scientist pondered for a moment and said, "Increase the intensity by 20 points in an instant. We have to break down his genetic code before it can remodel itself."
Alin also nodded, as this was the only option left before them. As for the kid's life, who cares if a rat lives or dies? If he is alive, good—they will reuse him. Else, just pick out a new rat and start over from the beginning.
As Alin adjusted the intensity of the PR rays to 70%, Alvin's skin started cracking like a broken doll and blood flowed out like loose water from every pore in his body.
His eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and even fingertips started bleeding at an alarming rate.
Alvin's body twitched one last time before he went limp like a dead body. All the scientists outside looked at Alin, waiting for her analysis.
But Alin had a frown on her face at this moment. "His cell structure has collapsed and they have established a weak connection with the 9 newly integrated cores. But there is something strange going on inside his body, at the cellular level..."
"Darkness mana is gathering around him," the old scientist said with squinted eyes as he stared at Alvin inside the glass room.
Alin nodded. "Yes, Chief, it's the darkness mana that is getting absorbed into his body at an alarming rate. But instead of going to the newly connected darkness core, the mana is being absorbed into his bloodstream like a sponge. His pure essence cultivation that we sealed earlier is also showing signs of breaking the seal. It's as though the seal is being corroded by some corrosive energy..."
"Look, a bloodline mark is appearing on the kid's right arm," just then one of the scientists interrupted Alin while pointing at Alvin who was lying inside the glass room.
Everyone looked at Alvin's right hand, which now had the faint black outline of something slowly becoming clearer as time passed.
After about 15 minutes, the tattoo on his hand became clear.
On the backside of his palm, a traditional compass-like symbol appeared with 9 needles inside. It gave off a strong sense of elegance and beauty, as though it was the wheel that decides the rhythm of the universe.
But right above this compass, his entire forearm was covered with a different tattoo that gave off a dreadful vibe. The black tattoo of an Asura with a terrifying face was standing with two hands in a praying position at the front.
Behind the Asura, there were 8 more arms, each showing different symbols. Overall, just by looking at this tattoo one could imagine the bloodlust hidden inside it. Even the scientists outside swallowed their saliva involuntarily after seeing this tattoo.
"Asura... a Nyxborn... Undead Monarch Draven Nyxborn," the old scientist's face stiffened after he saw the entire tattoo. He started saying gibberish as though he had thought of something terrifying.
He hurriedly snatched the tablet from Alin's hand and tapped a few times on the screen. "CR6, destroy subject 321 immediately!"
Alin and the other scientists looked at the old man in bewilderment. They didn't understand why he was so panicked and why he was giving the order to destroy subject 321.
"Crack..." the next second, a faint cracking sound rang out, silencing everyone.
When all the scientists looked toward the source of the noise, they saw subject 321 sitting up on the bed with blood still flowing through his cracked skin. He looked bloody and horrifying, like some kind of demon who crawled from the depths of hell.
His pupils in particular were no longer purple in color. They appeared blood red with a ruby-like glow in them. The four subordinate robots lay scattered on the floor, their mechanical arms torn off from their bodies like broken toys.
The old scientist's expression changed. He hurriedly shouted to the football robot beside him, "CR6, activate all the defense mechanisms and summon all guards immediately!"
The blue eyes of the football-like robot flickered slightly. "Initiating..."
"Boom"
"Crack... sizzle"
But before the robot could even finish its words, the sound of glass shattering was heard and the next second, an arm dyed in fresh blood went through the back of its body and exited from its front, silencing it once and for all.
Alvin shook away the junk from his hand as though he was throwing away trash.
He stared at the old scientist expressionlessly.
"I... ice ar... armor," the old scientist said stutteringly as he couldn't even breathe properly under the deadly aura around Alvin, which had already reached the Grandmaster Realm.
As soon as he cast the armor spell, a thick ice armor covered the old man in an instant, making him look like a samurai.
But Alvin just tilted his head indifferently and grabbed the old man by his throat and lifted him up as though he was picking up a fat chicken for slaughter.
The ice armor covering the old man's body disappeared the moment Alvin touched him, as though it had been erased.
"Snap," Alvin increased his grip and a snapping sound was heard as he forcefully pulled out the old man's head from his body.
Blood splattered on the face and clothes of the nearby scientists, making them come back to their senses.
They frantically mobilized their mana and cast spells of different elements in an instant.
