"You're not afraid?"

On the Abyssal Throne, the Demon Monarch seemed a bit surprised.

This punch didn't truly hit Herodotus, but it didn't need to; the bubble generated in front of the fist had extremely terrifying lethality.

The fist of the Peacock Mantis Shrimp's armor could never break the steel propeller of a ship.

The flesh and blood are difficult to shake the steel.

But the bubble left by its fist possesses more terrifying destructive power, capable of blasting small holes on the steel propeller, damaging the ship.

This is the art of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.

The evolution of life is always a stroke of genius.

"I will not fear you; you must persist in the world to make people fear."

In the next instant, Herodotus stood up.

His flesh was swiftly healing, no longer daring to approach the throne, he said from afar:

"If your legs can leave the throne and your whole body can move, only then can you be the celestial calamity symbolizing death."

At the end of the day.

No cost is too great, the coming is worthwhile.

This ancient Abyssal Demon King only recovered the strength of one fist.

He is still boiling and reconstructing around him, unable to move.

If given more time for the entire man to stand up and leave the throne, then the entire Elven world might face an apocalyptic scene.

He came just in time.

"You cannot move, only able to use one hand, how can you hunt me down?"

This elderly man stood tall and straight, his voice sonorous and powerful, still astonishingly brave when facing such a terrifying presence, without the slightest fear:

"You descended temporarily, and eventually, you must return to the soil."

"Once you leave, this Abyss will be without a guardian and will be conquered by us again."

And soon, the surrounding Abyss higher-ups also realized this.

Even if Herodotus were to fall.

As long as Herodotus leaves his legacy, a second powerful Elf similar to him will emerge.

Then, the ancient Demon Monarch would not be able to summon again in a short time, how to resist?

The Demon Monarch entirely ignored the surrounding Abyss Mages' astonishment, looking at Herodotus and the Thunder Crown above his head, softly praised: "What you said makes sense."

"Once I leave, this land is without protection..."

"Talus, come out."

From among a group of wise Abyss Mages, Talus stepped forward.

"Power requires legacy, can the Chimera do it?"

The man on the throne turned his head to ask: "This is the future development of the Abyss Era."

Chimerism??

Is the future of the era?

The Abyss Mages in front of the court were slightly taken aback.

The Demon Monarch explained: "Chimerism is having at least two different cellular organizations within one life form, with two sets of extraordinary life sequences, dual extraordinary power."

In simple terms, it's having two sets of DNA sequences within the body.

"Chimerism", viewing from Li Qing's current state of mystical enlightenment, is bound to be the trend of biological extraordinary civilization's development.

In simplest terms, grafted organs belong to chimerism.

But this artificial organ transplant is a one-sided understanding, while this chimerism occurs more naturally.

This is also called: the Chimera phenomenon.

A person with multiple DNA groups in one body, Chimera is a mythical beast in Greek mythology with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake.

Sometimes, twin babies in the womb, one strong embryo absorbs a weaker one, integrating their sibling's cells, come into the world.

One body, having twin genetic chimeric structures simultaneously.

Even large birthmarks on some people are a symbol of devouring their siblings, with different DNA at the birthmark's location.

In forensics, a bizarre case appeared.

A man who went around raping women couldn't be traced through the victim's DNA extracted.

Because he was a chimera, with two DNA cellular systems in the body.

Other body tissues were his own, only that specific area's tissue belonged to his brother.

Therefore, DNA from other locations didn't detect him until the DNA from that area was tested, finally confirming the criminal was arrested.

And the Chimera phenomenon is not exclusive to twins!

Most children are born with a very small part of their mother's genetic sequence.

And during pregnancy, the mother incorporates baby's cells in various body parts, appearing in the mother's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Research shows much of a mother's brain also contains children's DNA.

This is called microchimerism.

This has always existed since ancient times, in true sense: mother and son are connected.

Life is very magical.

"Come, accept my power, let a second life system flow within you."

The eyes of this Demon Monarch Emperor burned brightly like a bonfire in the night.

He took off the crown, placed it in front of him, saying:

"Take up my royal power, the new era is entrusted to you, the people of this world, to determine victory or defeat."

"If you cannot even achieve this step, then my descendants need not speak of the future; it's better to fall here directly. This era cannot withstand the shadows of chaos outside the barrier, so it would be better to watch you perish coldly."

"Never!"

Herodotus sensed something and rushed over at great speed.

That crown was actually similar in structure to his own, which filled Herodotus with doubt and suspicion.

Could it be that, in some distant era, this man before him also accepted the trial of the crown!?

He thought he had embarked on an inconceivable path by donning the crown, but in reality, he was merely following in this man's footsteps, imitating him.

"I won't let you—"

Herodotus hadn't even finished speaking.

Boom!

A single punch.

Countless tiny bubbles densely rolled as he flew back.

"Come! Before my consciousness departs again, accept this power, if only some embers of my peak strength."

Though the Demon Monarch was fearsome, strong, and towering, he resembled a lonely old man sitting on a throne, tearing off an arm.

The voice was heavy and solemn.

"The Demigod perishes, the dark demon laws of the Abyss no longer exist; this is the bloodline left by a warrior who has not become a True God, the final gift to you."

Talus took up the crown and the Demon's Hand: "Yes! Your path shall be continued by us, we inherit and pioneer!"

Rip!

Flesh and blood covered in gore.

This chief Grand Mage of the Abyss decisively tore off an arm of his own, attaching the Demon's Hand.

In an instant, a mass of undulating flesh buds wiggled at the joint, stitching together, endowed with the undying nature of Turbellaria's flesh.

Some minute cells entered his body, drifting to the heart, vessels, bones, and even the brain, where this ancient entity's genetic sequence appeared.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

The blood surged.

A second DNA life system flowed.

Special cells, each with a perfect long chain sequence like a Divine Dragon.

Talus felt powerful strength coursing throughout, as the blood was reconstructing his body's structure, an unbelievable force filling him.

The second cell system was subtly merging.

Yet no immune rejection occurred.

Because they had not written in a mechanism for rejection within their body structure.

"Another decent test subject." On the throne, Li Qing smiled inside, quietly observing the scene, "Looking at it this way, the principle of Chimera indeed holds potential for creating a second bloodline Genetic Potion..."

He came here not for a fight.

He came to experiment.

To acquire depth and knowledge.

Rather than wasting precious time, it was better to let Talus face this enemy, leaving victory or defeat to them to decide.

As for himself, he would continue to use his limited and valuable Enlightenment time to delve into the knowledge of transforming this three-in-one bloodline.

Learning knowledge, studying laws, is what he should be doing, rather than being a reckless person, rashly going into battle.

Moreover.

He never intended to make the real trinity descend.

This power, likely to shatter the Crystal Wall, didn't belong to this era; leaving behind an arm with a trace of strength was enough.

Talus felt a burning pain.

As if some power was eroding his entire body from the arm, sewing one vein after another.

Rustle.

"Ah!!" with a scream of painful agony, he clutched his arm howling.

A vast amount of energy was being devoured by the Demon's Hand.

The heavy armor of the Demon Monarch grew from his arm, dragon shell armor scales like fish scales rapidly covering his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, this frail scholar donned a hideous exoskeletal War Heavy Armor.

Crack!

He slowly stood up.

His sharp eyes faintly revealing the murderous intent that ancient Evil Dragons would unleash: "This is the Demon's Hand, seemingly containing the madness of demon blood, enough to face the enemy's power."

"Go, with the hybrid body of demon blood lineage."

Sitting upon the Emperor's Seat, the Monarch from ancient times, this lonely old man seemed to scrutinize everything of this era.

Boom!

In the next moment, Talus stepped out.

Boom!!

The battle started.

The elf with electric light hair, the young Demon God in heavy Demon Armor, the thunder-ridden purgatory, shattered earth with flying stones.

On the Emperor's seat, Li Qing merely glanced down.

His consciousness once more focused on the boiling flesh and blood transformation in his body,

as if the battle for the survival of this world's civilization had nothing to do with him, this king sitting on the throne.
