Chapter 22 Condensing the 'Myriad Poison Clone'
The "Wood Soul Seed" was certainly not something Perseus made up.
According to the records in "Teng Sha", there is a special plant in the universe that can parasitize souls, called the Soul Plant Grass.
Unlike ordinary plant life that uses life energy as nourishment, this plant needs both the nourishment of flesh and blood and the nourishment of spiritual power.
When the seed of the plant that recognizes its master falls into the soul, the seed and the soul will coexist and form a soul shackle that can last for ten thousand years. It can control the slave's words and actions, temporarily stimulate the slave's potential, and serve as a walking shell... Based on this principle, the predecessor who created "Vine Kill" researched the Wood Soul Seed.
However, slaves who use the Wood Soul Seed only have a lifespan of ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years later, as long as the slaves do not break through to immortality, their withered bodies and souls will completely perish.
However, Perseus had no intention of using this inferior version!
With the [Puzzle of All Things], he is confident that he can develop a truly symbiotic version of the Wood Soul Seed, forming a more subtle and terrifying form of control.
This is the grand gift he prepared for the four top clans.
It's not just humans; there are also insectoids, demons, and machine races... To cause these behemoths to collapse in the future, the only way is to strike from within and achieve a decisive victory.
Thinking about this made Perseus even more eager.
For the next six months, apart from necessary cultivation, he spent most of his time studying "Vine Killing". He not only gained a preliminary understanding of the methods for making Wood Soul Seeds, but also acquired some basic knowledge about plant modification.
Finally, the notification sound of number 1 rang out.
Inside the silver sword-shaped spaceship, Perseus, who had been studying the legacy day and night for a long time, also got up from his seat, left the cabin, and returned to his residence on Galer.
……
"Are all the plant materials I asked you to prepare here?"
Perseus took the spatial ring from Tor's hand, glanced at it casually, and after confirming that there were no problems, put all the materials inside into his own world ring.
He then tossed the spatial ring back to Tuo'er.
"Send a team to Novi Star to receive a batch of materials. These materials are very valuable and are crucial to your breakthrough to the Domain Lord level. You'd better pay close attention..."
Ignoring Tor's sudden change in expression, Perseus turned and went back to his secluded chamber.
Then, he took out the materials he had asked to collect earlier, including Drunken Spirit Grass and Castor Flower... all of which are plants that can secrete toxins. Perseus selected those plants that could store toxins in their bodies and prioritized extracting their biological elements. Soon, one by one, the scattered puzzle pieces appeared.
Perseus completed the data entry one by one.
"Number 1, analyze the overall structure of these puzzle pieces. We need to find the structure that represents the venom sac. Remember to focus on getting close to this direction when you are assembling the puzzle."
"Structural comparison completed!"
Soon, a similar structure that had appeared multiple times was circled on the light screen in front of the seclusion room.
Having identified the three main configurations, Perseus retrieved the puzzle pieces again to complete the subsequent replication.
However, in order to shorten the time required to replicate the clone, he selected materials of a lower grade, clearly intending to find a way to improve his bloodline after completing the clone.
After confirming that all the puzzle pieces had been entered, Perseus gave the final instructions.
"Number 1, same as always—"
He then constructs the relevant modules based on the puzzle pieces and performs the puzzle-solving task.
Finally, accompanied by a flash of light, the cyan crystal transformed into a card and landed in front of Perseus.
[Two-Star Creature Card - Poison Ivy Lv4]
[Description: A terrifying plant containing the origins of 3600 kinds of toxins, capable of replicating toxins and recording them as 'toxin sources' to create complex toxins.]
[Note: This bloodline can raise the level of life genes and has a moderate probability of giving birth to innate secret techniques.]
"Reveal!" 』
As Perseus silently chanted in his mind, the card instantly disappeared, replaced by a ball of emerald green liquid, containing bloodline genes like a bloodline potion.
"Theoretically speaking, bloodline potions can also be used to create clones. The clone ability does not have specific requirements on the form of genetic material. Similarly, the materials transformed from biological cards should also have similar properties."
"Hopefully nothing unexpected happens..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Perseus directly incorporated the emerald green liquid into the primordial core.
The crimson mist tinged with green rapidly dispersed, enveloping the liquid and condensing into an embryo within the fiery world of the primordial core.
Everything seemed to be going extremely well.
The power of twin traits surged forth continuously, merging with the emerald green liquid.
Soon, Perseus received a rough estimate.
"The gestation period was three months and seven days."
It takes very little time!
However, this timing is still in line with the original expectations.
The time it takes for life to give birth to multiple copies depends mainly on the difference in their genetic levels.
Perseus's original life gene level is high, so the time required to develop ordinary clones is greatly reduced.
Similarly, because he used far fewer plants this time than he did on Kungula Star, the corresponding puzzle piece was only at level 4 within the two-star system. Therefore, it was definitely not as difficult to nurture as the puzzle piece that had exhausted the entire planet's species resources.
Perseus waited patiently for more than three months.
Perhaps it's because the twin trait itself enhances the strength of plant-type clones. In any case, apart from the major species, the newly conceived clones are clearly a bit different from what he expected.
……
An afternoon that was no different from any other.
Perseus is researching potions, attempting to concoct ordinary second-tier potions using traditional methods and appropriate mental energy.
The entire configuration process went very smoothly.
He is at the cosmic level, and his control over and total amount of mental power far exceeds that of the eternal star level. Configuring first and second-tier potions is a complete dimensional reduction attack. His powerful strength is enough to allow him to quickly complete his learning tasks.
Just as Perseus completed this configuration...
"Click...click..."
The sudden noise made his expression change, and in a flash, he appeared in the backyard of the garden where his residence was located.
"Splash—"
Waves of heat emanated from the fiery inferno within the pronucleus.
At the very center, a blue embryo trembled continuously. Then, an arm pierced through the outer wall, tearing open a gap to reveal a figure with two pairs of butterfly wings inside.
The new clone looks like an elf straight out of a fairy tale.
But if you look closely, you'll find that this elf seems, might, perhaps was corrupted from birth.
Numerous gray patterns appeared on the green robe he condensed with the Force. They seemed ordinary, but they gave off an ominous feeling, as if touching them would be fatal.
The dark green to black curly hair resembled vines, curling and clinging together, beneath which were a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.
The enormous green butterfly wings fluttered, stirring up wisps of gray mist, but instead of being full of life, they became a medium that devoured life.
This is the Myriad Poisons Clone!
A plant life whose genetic level has reached 10 times, possessing the two talents of "ten thousand poisons" and "transforming vines".
Yes, it is plant life.
Although on the surface this second clone possesses all the elements of a human, Perseus can sense the constantly tangling plant vines hidden beneath the slender body.
