On the other hand, the magical artifacts used for transplantation in this world are not quite the same as those transplanted by people in another timeline, because the reason is still that there are differences in the soul level between the people in the two worlds.
The prototype technology of various magical artifacts in this world originated from the research and deciphering of Ronan's left hand.
A hundred years have passed, and magical artifacts are much more advanced than they were at the beginning, but they are still the same as the original "prototype".
It was referred to as Unit 1 by Canaan, Falek, and Faith, but it wasn't.
Currently, most mainstream magical artifacts can store additional magic power, providing a certain degree of enhancement and enabling the active release of a spell. However, their effect on extraordinary individuals can only be considered a "pseudo-advancement." This is why many naturally gifted extraordinary individuals are confident in defeating those who have reached the same level through transplantation.
The current Unit 1 follows the same logic as parallel universes.
It is a "true upgrade," without fixed magic power, fixed effects, or fixed spells. It is an adjustment machine that links the magic base and the physical body. It is estimated that the first installation will force an upgrade without overdrawing potential, and at the same time, it can bring comprehensive physical enhancement.
The most crucial point is not to overdraw on potential.
As we all know, every time a magical artifact is transplanted, it reduces a person's potential and lowers their upper limit, and "pseudo-ranking" cannot exceed the upper limit.
So far, none of the superhumans who have artificial talents and magical abilities have been able to surpass the fourth rank. Most of them have only acquired one or two of these abilities, reaching the second or third rank.
However, Unit 1 can break through. Theoretically, after it is installed, it can continuously add other magical devices. As long as the person is tough enough, it is not a problem to stack them up to "pseudo-seventh rank".
It has only one requirement and one side effect.
The requirement is that only low-tier equipment can be used; equipment above tier two is not allowed.
The side effects are that it may damage a person's soul, damage a person's body, or more likely, damage both at the same time.
Canaan and her team had previously planned to conduct experiments on hybrid animals to see how many stats the first unit needed to be reduced, how many functions it needed to be stripped of, and what kind of stripped-down version it would become so that lower-level superhumans could withstand it.
As long as the function of not overdrawing its potential can be retained, it is a success.
However, now that we have Lavana, we won't make any adjustments. She's also a non-human being with exceptional adaptability. We'll just give her the original top-of-the-line version. If she doesn't fit, then Faith will turn her into a cyborg.
In the operating room, Canaan opened the box, and Ronan saw a strange machine that looked like a centipede.
"Isn't this the one on Yingqi?" Ronan asked.
“Her number is zero,” Canaan replied.
Zhao Yingqi is Xiaomeng from another timeline. She has no problem transplanting such things. However, after she installed Unit Zero, upgraded from the fourth tier to the fifth tier, and achieved immortality, she never installed anything else. After all, no magical artifact can compare to the power of her own magic after its upgrade.
Her extraordinary power is time-based; to classify it as a magical artifact would be utterly foolish.
While Ronan and Canaan were talking, Ravana, who was only wearing a loose dress and a coat, had already taken off her coat and lay down on the bed.
Faith used her magic to anesthetize her, then ripped off her dress.
Lavana is shown nude.
She has very long legs, not only because she is nearly 1.8 meters tall, but also because of her leg-to-body ratio. Judging by her appearance, her legs are over 1.1 meters long.
However, it doesn't look that long because her thighs are very thick, the kind that are obviously muscular, and her calves are also muscular, but because her calves are long, they reduce the sense of muscle.
Those legs exude incredible power.
Big feet, but the shape is nice, and they look quite smooth.
With thighs like those, not to mention the buttocks, they must be muscular, incredibly large, and have a perky, big butt.
Her upper body wasn't that exaggerated; in fact, it was rather slender compared to her thick thighs, but she had some visible abs and muscle definition in her arms.
She has large breasts, two big mounds, which still look large even when she lies flat, full, bulging and round.
This figure reminded Ronan of a fighting game he played in the original timeline a long, long time ago, where Chun-Li's thighs were thicker in the first generation than the first, except Lavana wasn't that exaggerated.
Her body was quite smooth, but her pubic hair was thick and abundant, even more so than Lily's. The brownish hair covered her lower triangular area, and was all around her tightly closed, full labia, leaving only a slit visible.
Falek and his two companions began their actions, turning Ravana over and then using a special lock to firmly fasten her limbs and neck to the bed. They then gagged her to prevent her from waking up and moving around if she was stimulated.
Next, a cut was made along her spine, bending her entire back. A mortal would be paralyzed after being treated like this, but Ravana was no mortal.
Next, we need to perform some surgery on her spine and then install Unit 1.
The first machine won't stay like this forever. After it's installed, it will become integrated with her spine, and once the surgery is complete, her back will look no different from before.
The surgeon was Fisse, Canaan was responsible for maintaining the equipment, and Falek, who could see the form of a person's soul, was responsible for monitoring and directing.
Faith used magical threads to form sharp daggers for the surgery. After all, even if a superhuman was anesthetized by magic and their defensive membrane was weakened, their flesh was not something that could be easily cut open with an ordinary metal knife.
As for Ronan, he was just a handyman.
Not just anyone can do odd jobs. At least someone like Ronan, who has some expertise in the field of supernatural power research, is suitable. People like Ambrina and the others who came with them are a bit lacking.
"Surgery, begin."
Chapter 1100: Smooth Sailing or Smooth Sailing, Success or Failure
Unit 1 was successfully installed and began automatic fusion.
In just a second or two, Ravana opened her eyes. With a gag in her mouth, she whimpered and struggled frantically, causing the entire bed to shake violently. The ring lock that held her in place looked like it was about to burst open at any moment.
Faith was prepared for this and instantly manipulated the magic threads to complete the stitching.
"Shouldn't we give her another dose of anesthesia?" Ronan asked.
As if giving a presentation, Faith explained in a cool, clear voice, "Anesthesia is essentially a magical attack that will affect the fusion process."
“She looks alright, at least for now.” Farek followed closely behind. Ravana’s skin began to dry out and crack, revealing pink flesh beneath in many places, and she was bleeding all over.
"Is everything alright?" Canaan asked. She wasn't very knowledgeable about the human body. Farek calmly replied, "It's normal. This is the soul's transformation acting on the body."
Half a minute later, Ravana seemed to be shedding her skin, her entire body was peeling off, and blood began to flow from her eye sockets, ear canals, and corners of her mouth.
Soon, the surface skin almost completely peeled off, and if there was a breeze, it would blow away.
At this point, the pink muscles also began to change. The originally normal muscles began to wriggle like a collection of countless slender mealworm larvae.
"And now?" Ronan asked.
“Normal,” Falek replied.
As long as there are no problems at the spiritual level, all physical changes are not a problem.
A minute later, Ravana lost control of her bladder, and a liquid that looked like a mixture of blood and milk began to leak from her nipples.
“This is troublesome,” Falek said.
"Huh?" Ronan was surprised.
Incontinence is bad, but it's much less serious than molting or muscle mutation, right?
“I’m talking about the soul level,” Falek explained. “She was originally mixed-race, very mixed, which created a delicate balance.”
"Whether in this world or another time and space, a person's soul and body are similar. Her soul is also mixed-blood. It is because of this that her transplantation went very smoothly. Since the soul is a hybrid, it doesn't matter if it is mixed a little more. But after the installation is completed, the first unit needs to refresh it and turn her back into a pure-blooded person."
"Let me give you an example. Her soul was originally a feudal society. When a powerful lord came, the other lords didn't care. The original top lord didn't have the power to oppose him. But now, this foreign lord wants to unify the country and acts as if he will no longer be feudal and will turn everyone into bureaucrats. The original top lord will then lead the lesser lords to rebel."
"The foreign lords are very strong, and their ability to assimilate is also exceptional. Suppressing them is only a matter of time. But the bunch of smaller lords are spreading out in all directions, acting as if they're going to ruin the land if you don't let me have an easy time, and nobody will have an easy time either."
"So, is she capable or not?" Canaan asked.
Falek shrugged. "That depends on whether she can use her will to merge the original great lords with the new ones, and achieve unification quickly enough before those lesser lords ruin her." "You mean there's nothing we can do?" Ronan asked.
Falek smiled. "Yes, I can encourage her."
Canaan laughed too, "Isn't that what Ronan always said, giving the other party all the support except help?"
Faith sighed. At a time like this, these two guys were still in the mood to joke around.
But what else can we do if we don't joke around?
Lavana still has to rely on herself.
Ronan walked up to Lavana and gently placed his hand on her head. "Keep trying. You haven't found your dream yet."
“She can’t actually hear right now,” Faith said.
Lavana's body is in a constant process of destruction and reconstruction. Her sensory organs have all malfunctioned. As for magical perception, in her current state, can she even spare the attention to perceive magical power?
Falek let out a long sigh and sat down in a chair. "Observe for five more minutes. If she can't do it after five minutes, then she really can't. We need to keep an eye on the clock."
If we turn her into an artificial human, she might be beyond saving.
Fies and Canaan went to the side and retrieved the complete set of tools they had prepared beforehand, preparing to carry out the modifications to prevent the situation from deteriorating beyond saving. When the time came, they would prepare to turn Ravana into a homunculus.
The android is a creation that combines the artificial intelligence creation technology of Kate and others from another world with the human-Buddha magic of Faith.
These artificial humans won't be too different from real people. The advantage is that they directly gain an extremely long lifespan, just like Elena. However, they won't have Elena's special abilities, and they also have a side effect that Elena doesn't have: they can never exceed the fifth rank in their lifetime.
Time passed second by second. After Lavana could no longer make a sound, the spacious room was completely silent. The ticking of the clock was very clear, as if each tick was tugging at the heartstrings. There was no thrill, only an indescribable restlessness.
Four minutes had passed, and Ronan's gaze involuntarily began to fix on the wall clock in the distance.
Faith and Canaan prepared to make their move.
Five minutes are up.
Falek looked at Ronan, "Ronan, come here, unlock the seal, and put her over there, in that waterbed that looks like a bathtub."
Lavanas are large; they can lift them, but they're not easy to carry.
Ronan walked over, released the seal, and was about to pick up Ravana when she inexplicably grabbed his wrist with one hand, holding it tightly. Although this strength was nothing to Ronan, he did not pry it off immediately.
“I think she still wants to persist,” Ronan said.
“Keep going, it’s either success or death, there’s no third possibility,” Falek said.
“That was her own decision.” Ronan put down Ravana, who was covered in blood and looked like a skinned person. “Although I’m not familiar with her, I’ve spoken to her a few times and agreed to let her decide for herself.”
“I have no objection,” Canaan said.
“Then let’s leave it to God’s will,” Faith said.
In the seventh minute, Ravana seemed to go berserk; her body began to contort violently, as if she were about to become deformed.
Ronan and Faith remained calm.
Ronan is just that kind of person, while Faith doesn't care.
On the contrary, Canaan, who initially had a bad impression of Lavana and still didn't have a good impression of her even after the misunderstanding was cleared up, clenched his fists and showed a worried expression.
Seeing the worst of the situation, Falek breathed a sigh of relief. "It's getting better. She's really succeeded now. However, she has succeeded while we have failed. The current Unit 1 simply cannot be installed on a person, not even someone as special as her."
“But failure is the mother of success, isn’t it?” Canaan said with a smile.
So many achievements have come from failures. Even if the first unit had failed completely, it might still have provided them with new ideas from the data, leading to the creation of other things.
“Indeed,” Faith replied calmly.
Chapter 1101 Dual Magic, What a Pity, Ross is a Mess
Before I knew it, many days had passed since the surgery ended.
In a deserted place, Ravana is displaying her newfound power.
Lavana was originally a "mortal," and a fake Kazakh at that. If she hadn't been "pre-converted" at a very young age, she would never have passed the test or been successfully converted into a pseudo-positive first-order.
The transformation technology developed from Falek's system has transformed first-tier superhumans who can only be considered pseudo-first-tier, because they only have the physical qualities and defensive membrane that superhumans should have. They have magic power but can basically not use magic, and are blank slates without skills.
Ravana was the same in the past.
But she's not like that now. She's now at the second tier, and she has second-tier magic. However, she's special because she has dual magic.
She can transform into a centaur, completely covered in a skeleton-like exoskeleton armor, with only her eyes and ponytail visible. This is clearly a transmutation spell, as no other spell can change a human form. Yet, she can also summon a large, skeleton-shaped cannon. Ronan, being a conjurer, could accurately identify this skeleton cannon as a conjuration.
The rare occurrence of such a change and manifestation of fate among the extraordinary has appeared simultaneously, and in an artificial creation.
It's absolutely worth studying.
Unfortunately, Lavana can no longer cultivate and improve on her own. Although she was purified after installing the first machine, if she wants to improve further, she can only continue to transplant magical artifacts. She cannot improve her rank through fate choices like a normal fate-type mage.
Otherwise, we might be able to learn more from her and get closer to the fundamental laws of this world.
"What a pity," Falek sighed regretfully.
“Yes,” Canaan echoed.
Developing these new technologies to empower more people is certainly an achievement, but it is no longer their fundamental pursuit.
They wanted to gain more information by observing the application of these new technologies, and then use that information to gradually approach the truth of the world.
Even though Ronan always believed that revealing the truth still required theoretical scholars.
Neither of them had ever given up on this idea, which they themselves knew was somewhat ridiculous.
This is the stubbornness of two female engineers who didn't have a flash of genius.
"Oh, I understand." Ronan responded to the void, then said to the three people beside him, "I have to go now, I'll come back in a few days."
