The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

The sublimation organ construction in Ian's body is completely different from that of ordinary sublimators, not only are there several additional structures, but the essentia cycle between them is also very harmonious, and it is obviously an optimized and specialized version.

The part of the note called 'Polar Domain' is at the heart of this optimization.

With Adalbert's technical prowess, he could see at a glance that this was an enhanced version that was clearly superior to the sublimation techniques that were common today, and its technical difficulty was that each 'Extreme Domain' needed to go through a thousand experiments, and each person's optimization area was different.

In other words, if you don't practice the 'meditation method' and don't enhance your computing power, then in today's Terra, I'm afraid that only a prophet like Ian can try and make mistakes again and again to find his own extreme domain construction point.

But even if you have a meditation method, if you are not a genius, it is difficult to open it with your own power...... That requires a deep understanding of your body.

In addition, the aether crystal on the young man's left hand made the Dead Monarch researcher feel that his eyes were wrong.

"Aether Hearth?!Creature Aether Heart?!"

Half-squatting beside Ian, Adalbert exclaimed and stretched out his hand to look at Ian's cyan crystallized left arm: "It's still shrunk to such a small point that you actually have an Aether Furnace Heart in addition to the Ancient Dragon Heart Core? ”

The existence of the ancient dragon's heart core did shock Adbert fiercely, but thinking of Ian's identity and who Ian's teacher was, the shock in his heart couldn't help but turn into a kind of remembrance and sigh - it was obviously the last legacy that the First Knight left to his disciple, and what Ian had been doing all along did not live up to the expectations of the First Kearner.

At the very least, the construction of the Xia Hui Territory is indeed getting better and better, although Ian himself never advertises, but the people in the territory are indeed living a happier life than before.

However, the Aether Hearth is different from the Aether Heart, and in the entire Terra, only a few forces control it, and Ian's friend, the Eren family where Isengard is located, is one of them, but their Aether Hearth needs to pay the price of 'Life Essence', which does not last long, and will lose life when running at full strength.

And the aether crystal on Ian's left hand...... It runs very taekly and smoothly, and there is no need to pay for the high-quality energy that can only be condensed at the third energy level of life essentia!

"It's perfect."

Adbort muttered to himself.

Ian's left arm has completely turned into an aqua blue active crystal due to the essentia impregnation caused by Morion's steel and the heart of the ether furnace, which is very similar to the body material of the crystallized dragon, and it is no wonder that everyone has no doubt that Ian has dragon blood, this is indeed a benign demonic beast bloodline atavistic characteristic that can no longer be obvious.

The boy's arms were well-proportioned and smooth, the fingertips were slender and pointed, with a bit of danger almost the smell of dragon claws, its color was translucent, and there were dots of essentia shining inside, and a layer of warm crystal light flowed under the light of the laboratory light, which looked like a work of art.

In addition, there are many intricate inscription circuits on the inside of this arm, and these translucent, blue and white patterns are the defensive structure of the Fudo Fortified Castle series, and their presence has strengthened this arm to the point that even the alchemical artillery cannot hurt it.

Ian had a lot of auxiliary lines drawn on his arm, and later, Adbert was going to disassemble the artwork arm and Ian had to take out part of his arm bone and lay a few Mithril wires inside before putting it back.

Thanks to the Mithril given by Viscount Grant, plus a portion of Ian's own secret collection, he was able to optimize the output channel of the Aether Crystal.

This is also to prepare for the future 'Steel Drive Inheritance' that can fuse the abilities of the Immovable Fortress and the Fairy, allowing him to use one circuit to cast two completely different abilities at the same time.

The surgery on the arm was not difficult, and Adbort understood the process at a glance.

However, the modification of the heart is more dangerous.

The researcher even turned on his own Dead Monarch form at this moment, his scarlet eyes piercing through Ian's flesh and skin, and looking along the surgical auxiliary line on the boy's chest to the internal visceral blood vessels, neural networks, and essentia structures.

For the operation, Ian has temporarily interrupted the circulation of body fluids throughout the body, which is nothing to the sublimator) As long as there is essentia support, the cells will have energy, and there is no need for cell oxidation reactions to produce energy, and he can last for more than fifteen days, not to mention one operation, ten are more than enough.

The problem is that you want to take the heart out and move the essentia furnace up ...... This requires too much detail, connecting every blood vessel and ganglia.

What's more, Ian also plans to lay a layer of 'flashing silver skeleton' on the inside of his ribs, which is the best sublimated metal in the electromagnetic system with an extremely powerful electromagnetic amplification effect.

Adbert could see that Ian was planning to create a 'magnetic confinement field' from his ribcage and ribs, and the strength of this magnetic confinement field could be continuously strengthened with the strength of his essentia.

In addition, with the Flashing Silver Skeleton, Ian's control of electromagnetic forces will also be greatly enhanced, and Adalbert can already think of where the other party intends to use the 'Pure Dust Dragon's Chest Shell'.

At that time, Ian's magnetic field manipulation ability may even be stronger than that of the Pure Dust Dragon itself.

But why did Ian create a magnetic confinement field? What was he going to restrain inside himself?

"Is it a leyline-source crystal?"

The average researcher certainly couldn't keep up with Ian's train of thought, but the dead researcher quickly found the answer.

Adbert said suddenly: "The leyline source crystals need to use ultra-high temperature liquid sublimation metals as an intermediary to release energy stably, which requires a certain amount of space, and it is also the reason why you want to remove your heart!"

"And your elven bloodline can be used to manipulate the three-state transformation, heating the metal to liquefaction when needed. However, if you want not to cause damage to the organs in the body, you need to use the magnetic confinement field to restrain the high-temperature plasma that assists in energy release to stabilize the pressure in the body")

"It's a bomb! You've swapped your heart for a super plasma bomb that can blow up the entire city of Xiahui!"

Thinking of this, the researcher gasped: "The ancient dragon core is reserved, the essentia furnace core is pressurized, the leyline source crystals are stable in pressure transformation, and the ether furnace core in the ether crystals is used as energy...... Your energy supply alone may be higher than that of the entire city of Naumman!"

"It's unbelievable, your third-level output has surpassed the limit of all third-level levels in the past, and no sublimator in the entire Terra can have such an exaggerated foundation as you in the second level!"

"But it's normal to think about it, the ether crystal is the prototype of the sublimation organ of the fourth energy level, and the ancient dragon heart core is simply the fifth energy level...... Is this really a prelude to the third energy level? Ian, are you working on something very new? ”

Adbert has sensed that something is wrong with Ian, this is not the advanced route of a normal sublimator at all, it is too complex and too powerful, if the original sublimation system is an old armor, then Ian is now using the etheric armament condensed by the latest technology!

"yes." Ian didn't hide it from Adbert that the Arcane Path was not something he could perfect alone: "When I succeed in my experiments using myself as a test subject, I will sort this information out to you."

"Speaking of which, you don't seem to be a normal third energy level either." Thinking of this, Ian also suddenly became interested: "You are the Dead King, and you are also a practitioner of meditation, maybe you can also try to take this arcane path!"

"I'll talk about this later, Ian, you actually planned to do this kind of super difficult surgery yourself!"

Waving his hand, Adbert couldn't help but complain: "You are too confident that you plan to do it yourself one by one, so what do you want us people to do for you?" ”

"yes, so I was wrong."

Ian simply admitted his arrogance, he reached out to his companion and smiled, "So help me Knife 0." ”

Good guys. Although Adbert didn't think much about it, he finally shook Ian's hand, and he said a little unhappily, "You should trust us a little more." ”

"Hmm." Ian whispered, "I'm studying." ”

The surgery began immediately.

With Ian and Adalbert's ingenuity, extracting the heart is indeed a piece of cake, and even the more complex 'Flash Silver Skeleton Installation' will take some time at most.

As for how it works, Ian's 'auxiliary computing units' are more than sufficient.

Since there is someone to help, Ian can anesthetize himself, lest his body's instinctive reaction get in the way of Adalbert's surgery, and theoretically the sublimator can fully control his instincts, but Ian is always cautious and leaves no possibility of failure.

Drinking the soul-calming potion prepared by Adalbert in one gulp, a cold feeling went down his mouth and into his lungs, and then spread to his whole body.

It is one of the best healing elixirs that puts people in a peaceful sleep and recuperates, and it is one of the few anesthetics that can have a full effect on the sublimated.

But under the effect of the silver chip, Ian's mind was still very clear, and he could clearly see that Adalbert had entered the state of the Dead King with an extra blue spiritual knife in his hand.

This is actually Adalbert's ability 'Nether Blade', which should have been a two-handed greatsword about one person high, and a single swing of the sword is enough to erode a castle to the ground, and the subspace will be cut open.

But now, it was nothing more than a scalpel, and it was still a bit difficult to cut through Ian's body, which had eight layers of shields removed, leaving only flesh and blood defenses, and it took some force for Adalbert to slice open Ian's chest.

"Is this the Immovable Fortified City? Relying on this body alone, you don't need any abilities to cross the battlefield. "Knives.

Adbot has never fought with Ian, and he doesn't fight on weekdays, because he doesn't really care about combat effectiveness at all, knowledge and research are the foundation of his life, this is the first time he has personally experienced Ian's strong basic qualities, and he only sighs in his heart: "But even if it is such a inheritance, it can continue to optimize and become stronger." ”

Shaking his head, Adalbert sharded, then snapped Ian's sternum open to the sides, revealing the flesh and organs inside as if he were opening a portal.

It has to be said that Ian's body itself is very well-proportioned, almost perfect, both in appearance and body shape like a work of art.

But compared to Ian's interior, his appearance is just ordinary beauty.

Seeing the distribution of the various sublimation organs in Ian's body, Adbert subconsciously held his breath, he had never seen such a reasonable distribution of sublimation organs, each of which was located in the most suitable position for himself, and each sublimation organ assisted and resonated with each other, exerting a greater effect than operating alone.

In the boy's body, although the purple-red blood was stagnant, it still maintained extremely strong activity, and between the organs, those muscles and internal visceral membranes had extremely regular inscription lines, flashing with an uncertain luster.

Perfect creature.

This is the thought that flashed through Adbert's mind, and if there is a so-called 'perfect individual' for human beings, then Ian is undoubtedly the existence of this template.

Strong, tough, sensitive, and beautiful...... It's like a miracle carved out in the world by Heavenly Father's fate.

But he also knows deep down that Ian wasn't born this way. The teenager is constantly optimizing his body, constantly adjusting his living habits and diet, and transforming himself into a more perfect one through hard practice, and even self-surgery like today.

Sublimation: This is the original meaning of sublimation.

Sublimate everything that was originally weak and clumsy into a new, more powerful form.

"Originally, I couldn't imagine how the pioneers who developed the way of sublimation could have blazed this trail."

The researcher was silent for a moment, then sighed in admiration, "But after meeting you, I understand what it takes to be a pioneer of a new path...... What kind of person is a pioneer. ”

In Ian's chest, the purple-red heart was beating slowly, and it seemed to know its fate long ago, calmed by the Soul Calming Elixir.

Adalbert quickly and delicately severed all the flesh and blood structures connected to the heart, and coagulated all the wounds with his Netherworld Essentia, practiced meditation, and with the same tremendous computing power, he carefully handled every nerve and blood vessel, and then took Ian's heart intact and placed it in a storage vessel next to him.

But this was just the beginning, and Adalbert slowly moved the essentia furnace center under Ian's ribs up with a focused expression.

The essentia furnace is essentially disembodied, it is the 'sub-entity power source seed' that Ian has constructed in his body with the ancient dragon heart core and ether crystals as the source, and maintains the sub-permanent operation with the powerful computing power of his soul.

But just as the vortex does exist in the ocean, the essentia furnace has no substance, but the essentia it controls passes through the flesh, the true ethernet formed by the fusion of silver chips and Ian's nerves is 'seawater'. The operation of these 'seawaters' is the so-called 'whirlpool', which is the essence of the essentia hearth, a superphase existence.

Adbert moved these silver Ethernet networks up steadily, connecting them to all the blood vessels and nerves that were originally connected to the heart, and suturing them quickly and precisely.

As the minutes passed, the scarlet halo in Adalbert's eyes swayed a little, obviously, even if Ian was extremely cooperative, it was still hard work for him to perform such an ultra-high-precision operation on a sublimator and avoid affecting the essentia operation in Ian's body.

But after three hours, he had completed all the pick-up and transfer.

But that's just the basics.

After resting for a moment and filling himself with a bottle of condensation potion, Adalbert took out the 'leyline-derived crystal' that Ian had prepared at the beginning

Pale blue mixed with pure white light illuminated the laboratory, and a pure white spirit crystal released a spectrum of pale blue and pure white, flickering as if breathing.

Adalbert placed it in the center of the essentia hearth, and the 'depressions' that seemed to have been prepared one by one were the moment this pure white gem was set in the center of the boy's chest, and it immediately bloomed into white psionic veins, using blood vessels and nerves as paths, spreading towards Ian's chest and body.

At the same time, Ian's body and soul began to weaken, and on the contrary, the leyline source crystals became brighter and brighter, as if the leyline source crystals were absorbing Ian's essentia and soul and nourishing themselves!

But Adbert was not surprised, he raised the 'Nether Blade' in his hand, and the original knife instantly turned into a small sword.

The eyes of the Dead Monarch researcher reflected every change in the spiritual energy field of the leyline source crystal, and just as this pure white gem breathed like a light shifted, he made a move!

I saw that the tip of the Nether Blade quickly slashed through the incomparably complex inscriptions on the surface of the earth's vein source crystal, reversing its operating logic in a small but fundamental way!

Suddenly, those bright spiritual veins extending from the leyline source crystals all dimmed.

But after a few seconds, the warm light lit up, and Ian's flesh was illuminated from the inside out, and the many blood vessels and neural networks in the body became clearly visible silk lines, slowly flowing with the movement of essentia.

The leyline source crystal is a rather peculiar psionic curiosity, which itself is the operation of the 'natural form' of the natural psionic energy aggregate itself in nature, and it extracts spiritual energy from all things around it to enhance itself.

But this process can be reversed, the earth condenses the leyline source crystals, just like a creature reserves excess spiritual energy in its own body, and when needed, the earth will extract the power from these crystals to repair itself and regulate the ecology.

Adalbert reversed the logic of the leyline source crystal, allowing it to extract energy from the earth and transform it into a mode that now releases energy to nourish Ian's body.

Of course, this process is quite dangerous for ordinary people: if they are rashly linked to the leyline source crystal, the biological individual can easily be dissipated by the vast natural will inside the crystallization and become a vegetative person.

But Ian's will is so tenacious that Adalbert is not worried at all.

In fact, Adbert sensed that even after taking the Tranquilizing Elixir, Ian still had the strength to fine-tune the position of the leyline source crystals and essentia furnace by himself, and expanded the chamber inside that could hold the hot metal liquid in the future.

Researcher Deathlord let out a long breath, now that the most dangerous moment had passed, the essentia furnace had replaced the heart, and the pure essentia was used to drive the circulation of body fluids in Ian's body.

However, there are many subsequent surgeries to be performed, such as the use of 'Morion steel' as a base to fill and solidify Ian's chest cavity, and the laying of the flash silver skeleton will take some time.

And the Mithril line casting in the crystallized left hand also takes a while.

But compared to connecting the essentia furnace core and inlaying the leyline source crystal, this is a trivial matter, and Ian can even do it himself, but since Adbert has already made a move, it is better to do it all at once.

For the next six hours, Adbert was engrossed in the laying of the skeleton.

And Ian's feeling is quite amazing.

After removing the heart, Ian felt a pure emptiness - the human physical instinct could not adapt to a body without a heart, just as a disabled person would sense the 'phantom pain' of his lost limbs from time to time, and his heart also had an extreme sense of emptiness, and this emptiness was not even about the brain, but from the soul.

It's like a person who wants to do something very important, but suddenly forgets what he wants to do. It has to be compared, it is very similar to the confusion of a broken dream and a task that has been worked hard for more than ten years and fails on the last day, a complete nothingness and emptiness.

At this moment, even with Ian's will, he couldn't help but feel a burst of nothingness.

Why should I work so hard?

The boy asked himself.

Although it is said that 'the heart is useless, it will be plucked', but how is this possible? Replacing the heart with a essentia hearth is an extremely risky path, this kind of self-transformation will cause the distortion of the human mind, and there have been many similar examples on the earth in the past, many people who have carried out large-scale self-transformation have suffered from 'cyberpsychosis' and have become ruthless anti-human lunatics.

However, it only took Ian ten minutes to make this decision, and within two hours he made the relevant deduction and final surgery plan.

It's all about improving your strength and going to the heavens.

But does it really make sense?

Ian was well aware that the existence of the Prison Star Prison, located five light years away, was an incredible barrier in itself0.

The creator of the light-year prison can easily erase the entire Terra Domain with just one finger, and the existence of this barrier itself is a trillion times larger than all the matter in the Terra Domain.

If it weren't for the existence of the Skyfall Ship, its fall might have broken the Prison Star Prison, and the current Terra people would have no chance of escaping from the prison.

But not to mention whether you can escape from the Prison Star Prison through the rift.

Even if you get out of prison, what can you do?

Beyond the prison are the jailers who guard the prison, and such a powerful being only needs to press a button at the touch of a button, and the Terra must go back to prison.

Even if there is no jailer, but the universe that can allow the existence of the Prison Star Prison, how good can it be?

Maybe the outer universe is worse than the inside of the prison, and maybe even the entire outer universe has been destroyed by the terrible cosmic war?

And even if they lead these Terrans out of Hell, they won't be grateful. They just want a peaceful life, they just want to hold the happiness in their hands, they just want that.

Having never seen the stars since childhood, they do not understand the distance at all, and do not understand the meaning of exploration.

Even if they succeed, humans won't be grateful to Ian.

It's so nihilistic that everything is meaningless.

Imbued with this feeling of nothingness, Ian couldn't help but fall into hesitation and hesitation.

Half a second.

Half a second later, he threw the nothingness aside.

"The people of Terra don't appreciate me, I don't care."

Sensing the essentia heart beating slowly, and the abundant and gentle spiritual essence of the leyline source crystals nourishing his whole body and soul, Ian slowly opened his eyes: "Whether they are hatred or gratitude, happiness or despair, it has nothing to do with me. ”

His face was expressionless, and the silver and cyan aura flashed in his eyes: "I don't care if they want to leave the Heavenly Prison or not." ”

"I'm just doing it for myself. For my own dreams. For the sake of what I insist on being right. ”

"That's all."

Time flies.

"The operation was successful!"

For a while, Adbert's voice seemed to come from an extremely distant distance, and Ian could even hear his friend's relieved breath of relief: "I have lived up to your trust, Ian, the essentia furnace core, the leyline source crystal, the flash silver skeleton laying, and the Mithril line on the left arm have all been completed." ”

"Even if there are some details that need to be adjusted in the future, you should be able to do it yourself, better than me!"

"Thank you."

Raising his head with some difficulty, the young man and Adbert looked at each other, he stared at the tired Dead King, and showed a sincere smile: "Next time you need surgery, I will preside over it." ”

This is his sincerest thanks.

"Hmm." Adalbert couldn't help but laugh, he rarely saw Ian in such a tired and weak posture, and he really wanted to see more.

But he was also tired, so after a brief yes and a few more words to Ian, Adbert went to the side of the lounge to rest.

Surgery is much more tiring than fighting!

Ian, on the other hand, sat on the operating table, stroking his chest, and the ribs and chest were very stable with the advanced regenerative agent he had developed, and it only took half a day to return to their original state.

In addition, under his collarbone, in the center of his chest, there was a faint pale blue light that was flickering and flickering, which was the sign that the brilliance of the leyline origin crystals had passed through the flesh and blood.

A strange psionic field covers Ian's body, and in this psionic field, Ian can draw the power of the earth for his own use, and this is the third level of the 'vision' and 'self-psionic field'.

Even if he wasn't yet, with the help of a perfectly textured leyline source crystal, this trait had already begun to appear.

Closing his eyes, Ian summoned the silver chip's log.

Then, a waterfall-like message flowed by.

【】

"What?"

When he saw this, Ian's eyes widened, he didn't expect that his transformation of himself would make the silver chip so excited all of a sudden, throwing out a large number of new information and words.

Pinnacle Individual ...... Etherflow Repository ...... There are also follow-up 'Extraordinary Creatures Protection Protocols', each of which seems to reveal a corner behind the grand truth.

As he progresses and improves, as well as explores uncharted territory, the secrets behind the silver chip begin to unfold to him!

But what happened next shocked him even more.

Because, Ian felt it.

Or rather, the Prophet felt it.

There is one that originates from the far other side of time and space...... No, it comes from everything in the world, from the entire universe and space...... The information in the ubiquitous 'ether' seemed to have been touched at some critical juncture, sending a message to him.

The primordial aetheric current, which transcends time and space, vibrates as a whole through the great aether of the infinite parallel world.

It was an indescribable, ineffable message, if it had to be described in human language...... Maybe it's a hello.

A gentle hello.

[Brothers and sisters who don't know where they are]

The grand message softly greeted: "Walking on a new path, a pioneer who opens up]

[Your forerunners greet you]
