Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The flexible black hoses are like exposed tendons, wrapping the cold mechanical structure. These special tissues will flow from time to time, as if forming a liquid coat on his body.

This is the peculiarity of deified transformation.

For the time being, Cheng Shen regards this technology as a unique puppet refining technology.

It adopts a form of existence that fuses metal and flesh and blood.

Through countless experiments over hundreds of years, the alchemists in the castle finally cultivated a substance that can be derived from flesh and blood. This substance can have the properties of flesh and metal at the same time, so it is called:

active metal.

This material can perfectly replace the flesh and blood organs of the reformer.

Moreover, after a long period of running-in, the active metal implanted in the body will eventually completely integrate with itself, just like a part growing out of the original body, so there is no need to worry about the problem of soul compatibility!

Active metals have anti-aging and anti-corrosion properties that are longer than normal flesh and metal.

It can also reproduce and replace old and aging tissues autonomously.

Theoretically.

This is undoubtedly a physical state close to eternal life!

And this is the fundamental reason why generations of crazy alchemists are willing to work hard for this.

If it is a research that has no hope at all, even the most persistent person will not blindly pursue it for a lifetime. But the birth of active metals has really given these crazy alchemists hope.

certainly.

That is the idealized form of active metal development in its final stage.

Maybe the person who recorded this information had succeeded before, or maybe the description he left behind was just a fantasy.

In fact, the research on active metals by the alchemists in the castle is still in the third stage.

and.

The cost of refining active metals is also quite high.

According to records, if alchemists want to obtain a copy of active metals, they need to implant a copy of the parent substance into a newly formed embryo, and then harvest it after it naturally grows to adulthood.

As short as three to five years.

For decades.

The longer the active metal is stored, the better the effect will be after being taken.

And because of this, among mammalian biological groups, humans, who have the longest growth cycle and are easiest to capture, have become the main experimental subjects.

Benedict...

Cheng Shen's footsteps fell, and a layer of liquid fluid structure immediately wrapped the soles of his feet without making any sound. However, Cheng Shen seemed to feel that this step was extremely important, and every step was like walking on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"The world is crazier than I know..."

Cheng Shen tore up the information in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and then squeezed it hard with both hands, completely crushing it into irrecoverable dust.

There is a lot of information in the hidden secret room in front of you.

Cheng Shen took a quick glance.

In the treasure house of this mad goblin scientist, it is not all bloody research involving biological modification, but also a lot of advanced scientific and technological knowledge. He has recorded all the useful experimental data.

And when he used his photographic memory to read the information in front of him.

On the other side, his body has returned to the territory and recorded what he saw on white paper.

This is also one of the characteristics of Demon Soul Thousand Body.

Common consciousness.

Cheng Shen once thought that this was a flaw of the Demon Soul Thousand Body, but it turns out that there are no useless characteristics, it just depends on the timing of using it.

Right now, the feature of simultaneous interpretation is helping Cheng Shen a lot.

Otherwise, with so much experimental data, even his brain as powerful as a computer would not be able to store all of it in a short time.

"And this..."

After recording all the information, Cheng Shen looked aside. On the operating table with dark green liquid flowing, a bloody corpse could no longer be seen in its complete shape. Cheng Shen admitted that his first dissection technique was a bit unfamiliar.

And in the heart of this corpse, a rhombus-shaped crystal shining with glazed luster has replaced its original flesh and blood structure.

within this crystal.

The energy fluctuations contained in it made Cheng Shen feel heart palpitations.

"It might be useful to bring it with you."

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Shen stretched out his hand and carefully pulled up the crystal. The structure of his chest automatically collapsed inward, exposing his beating heart. Cheng Shen placed them side by side.

Then let the deified tissue form interwoven veins to fix it.

In this way, even if he encounters an enemy that he cannot deal with, he still has a trump card that can severely damage him...

Pack everything up.

Cheng Shen put on his silver robe, opened the door and walked out.

The corridor was dark and gloomy.

Silence.

Cheng Shen's footsteps were also swallowed up by darkness.

According to the detailed information given by Seaman, alchemists usually stay in their own private laboratories for research. Very few people come out to hang out, and there are no guards here to avoid disturbing them.

Only during certain times of the day.

Only the owner of the castle will send someone to collect the new products, potions, etc. they have developed today.

Cheng Shen wasted too much time in carrying out his deification transformation.

There is less than an hour left before today's acceptance, which means that his task must be completed within an hour.

Wait until the castle guards find the body.

It's too late for anything.

"Alchemist No. 11 was a botanist, before he tried to plant seeds in humans...

Perhaps we can get valuable information on improving crops from him.

Alchemist No. 1 and Alchemist No. 5 hold two keys to Laboratory Zero respectively... Why do they have to be No. 1 and No. 5?"

Cheng Shen didn't understand.

Time is limited.

He decided to take down these three most important goals first.

Dong dong dong...

Cheng Shen came to the door of Laboratory No. 11 and, according to Seaman's description, knocked on the door at steady intervals.

"Who is it?"

The door quickly opened a crack, and a pink halo shone out. The material that made up the color was not only light, but also mixed with a touch of dust, and it hit Cheng Shen's face with a faint fragrance.

"Collect experimental results."

He said in a hoarse voice.

"Huh? Why is it so early today? No, your voice is different from usual...wait a minute!"

Cheng Shen pushed the door open without waiting for the other party's reaction, and then pressed his generous back against the door.

The hood fell off, revealing only the lower half of his face, which was made of flesh and blood. Two crystal eyes embedded in a pitch-black metal frame instantly glowed brightly.

"Who are you?...How come you have such complete deified transformation parts?!"

A woman's shocked voice came out.

Cheng Shen looked forward, but what he saw in front of him was not a normal human being, but a thick, bloated, weird pink ancient tree with lush branches and vines that covered the entire laboratory!

Center of tree trunk.

The rough bark folds form a hollow face.

And on every branch it extends, there are shriveled corpses hanging, like fertilizers and soil used for cultivation. Clusters of brightly colored flowers and plants grow on the dried corpses!

"it hurts……"

"It hurts..."

Weeping sounds could be heard in the dense canopy of trees.

Only then did Cheng Shen see that a group of people seemed to have just been hung up by it. The thick rattan had penetrated their bodies, and moss and buds had grown under their skin, but they were still screaming and wailing consciously!

This scene immediately made Cheng Shen realize.

This obsessive botanist is not only using human bodies to plant plants, but also living human bodies! He is allowing plant spores to take root and germinate in these human bodies, absorb nutrients, and drain them alive!

Cheng Shen shuddered just thinking about the torture of such a method of death.

"You deserved it that you bumped into me!"

Cheng Shen kicked off his feet, and his powerful soles immediately broke the vines on the ground, and a smelly pink liquid flowed from them.

"ah!!"

A delicate scream came from the ancient tree, and more rich flower mist shook off the huge tree crown, covering Cheng Shen directly into a pink human figure!

boom!

The pollen exploded suddenly.

There was no fluctuation in Cheng Shen's two bright gem eyes.

The apotheosis experiment is immature and is still far from being able to completely replace flesh and blood with active metals. However, it is precisely because of the incomplete transformation that Cheng Shen only does not have to worry about being controlled by lust!

He simply didn't!

There is no physiological structure for reproduction installed in this body!

The effects of pollen were limited to the physical level and could not affect his consciousness.

This botanist can be said to have been perfectly restrained by Cheng Shen!

Zheng!

A two-foot-long sharp blade extended from Cheng Shen's right arm, and his left hand collapsed inward, turning into a dark hole. At the same time, he condensed a spiritual hammer and slammed it towards the face on the ancient tree.

go!

Soul impact!

Bang!

The transparent heavy hammer directly passed through the external defense and hit its spiritual core hard. All the movements of the ancient tree were instantly stopped. At this time, Cheng Shen raised his left hand and blasted out a blue energy shell!

The lush branches and vines in front of him that blocked his progress were immediately shattered, and pink juice splashed all over the sky.

Cheng Shen swiftly passed through it like a dark sword.

Phew!

The sharp blade sank into the thick bark of the ancient tree, and the screams stopped abruptly.

Cheng Shen's left hand returned to its original shape, and then he stirred the sharp blade to open the gap. He grabbed one side with one hand and pulled hard!

Stab!

The entire tree bark was torn open by him violently, and there were densely connected veins inside, just like the dense capillaries in the human body. When they broke, blood sprayed out, covering Cheng Shen's entire body with a layer of sticky color.

He looked forward calmly.

In the center of this tree trunk is a fibrous human body. Her limbs have been completely integrated into the trunk. The body is covered with raised green patterns, like countless writhing earthworms.

A pink gemstone on her forehead had been shattered, and the blade penetrated deeply into her skull, completely piercing it.

There was an incredible expression on her face, "How do you know...my weaknesses..."

Cheng Shen did not answer its question.

Look around.

As the energy core of this ancient tree was directly destroyed by him with the force of thunder, the human beings hanging on the branches, or the mummies that had already grown flowers, also quickly dissipated the life fluctuations at the same time.

But the opposite is.

The flowers blooming on the corpse became increasingly bright and dazzling.

It seemed that all the energy in the entire room that had no time to dissipate was plundered by them.

One of the bright red flower buds at the top of the tree crown attracted his attention the most.

Cheng Shen did not expect such a turn of events.

He-Man, a competent mole...ahem, partner! Although he told him the specific weaknesses of the botanist, he failed to mention what would happen after its death.

...then again.

He may not know such a secret thing.

"Don't think this is the end."

Cheng Shen ignored the strange changes in the room for the time being and turned to look at the botanist who was dying.

After death.

Without special means, spiritual consciousness will also be lost.

Unless affected by some special circumstances, such as one's own strong obsession, external environment, or human factors.

Spiritual consciousness can be preserved.

This is generally how undead and the ownerless souls used to refine puppet creatures come from.

And mostly the former.

Most of the time, alchemists catch wild undead, or ask necromancers for help to buy souls.

It is rare to take direct action against living innocent lives.

certainly.

This is the rule of the old days.

It is uncertain how many alchemists can hold on to the bottom thread depth now.

At least.

He has no scruples in this regard.

Soul stripped!

A strange mental wave immediately enveloped the botanist's body.

In the dark.

Cheng Shen seemed to have caught a mass of uncertain matter.

That’s it!

come out!

With a thought, Cheng Shen's mental stance suddenly pulled out a ball of light emitting chaotic light from the corpse. After the ball of light remained in a chaotic state for a moment, a female face emerged from it.

It immediately heard a cold voice.

"I ask, you answer, if you dare to tell half a lie, I will let you experience what life is worse than death..."

"..."

The botanists were very uncooperative at first.

After all, she is also a ruthless person who dares to turn herself directly into a plant, and her degree of psychological distortion is no worse than that of any perverted maniac.

However, after experiencing the double interrogation of soul shock and soul stripping.

She finally confessed everything.

As for pure physical pain, a strong-willed person can withstand it.

No one can withstand a blow to the soul.

The two are not on the same level at all.

Although Cheng Shen has never felt that kind of pain, he would rather never experience it.

The chaotic light ball in front of me was gradually stripped away, leaving only one primary color, and then it looked like a bubble punctured by a needle.

Completely dissipated into nothingness.

Cheng Shen suddenly paused for a moment as he looked at the place where the soul had dissipated.

Did he think that emotional perception is already the deepest substance in the soul?

Could it be that the dissipation of emotional perception means that a person's soul can never be resurrected?

Completely disappear?

He always felt that the structure of the soul was not that simple, and that there might be something deeper that even the ancient Celestial Clan had not discovered.

After all, in this extraordinary world where even a drop of blood can be reborn, it is not that easy to completely erase the traces of a person...
