The Dragon queen's heart... it was a fabled treasure that even the gods desired to possess. But none of them had the might to even try to get their hands on one. None except one, and he was least interested in obtaining more power than he already had.
As a result, the effect of consuming or transplanting the dragon queen's heart was shrouded in mystery. However, there was not a single thing the fragments of the system Arnold had, could not tell him.
Still, all the fragments could tell him was that one who got the heart transplanted into them would gain powers like no one had ever seen. That is if they were able to survive.
According to the fragments, the power of a dragon queen resided inside her heart, unlike the other dragons who did not have one concentrated power source. That's why transplanting the heart into someone else's body was more or less equivalent to claiming their powers for themselves.
