The sound of the concentrated combustion was whistling throughout the journey through the inside of the dampened cave. It seemed like the cave was no normal place.
Curious enough, MF decided to go even deeper until she found a ruin with numerous magical plants and ores.
"An abundant mana place for meditation? Some people always forgot to lock the door to their secret place, don't blame me if I purloin some material here."
MF had harvested numerous gene schematics yesterday on the raid. Although some of them were mediocre to utter useless, the DNA farmer did find a fine specimen for her to replicate.
Firstly, the harvest from the infamous Tarrasque Inchlings. MF kept 29 of them to guard Ouranos Citadel because of their destructive capabilities, having a dinosaur-like bipedal gargantuan physique, 5 of them could topple every fortification with ease. Their immune system had a particular and immensely strong army as they don't have a white blood cell but a highly Intellectual and multipurpose nanomachine-like cellular oxygen carrier.
Not only that, the reasons why they don't need any food to survive was because of their special energy reactor as a core planted deep inside their physical vessel that was accommodating 90% of the Tarrasque Inchling's savage power, especially in regenerative ability.
The following harvested genes from the infamous Calamity were as follows:
'Core Infusion' gene schematic.
'Tarrasque Bone Marrow' gene schematic.
'Heart Of Tarrasque' gene schematic
Those three were the trinity edge that made the Tarrasque Inchling as powerful as they are. Knowing MF, she would never let a potentially fruitious experiment to pass by.
Foremost, the Tarrasque Inchling was only a lesser version from the real source of the insurmountable power of destruction. Because Inchling was the derided version of the origin, the gene's formation also contained the Origis Tarrasque's DNA.
Meaning that what MF had harvested were the stronger version from the Inchlings
Beside the Tarrasque's gene set, MF also acquired a few physical traits from the titanic skeleton.
'High Energy Conductivity Bone' gene schematic.
'Incendiary Fog Emitter' gene schematic.
Those two were only the usable and organic power that MF could biologically try to replicate.
'I only have three days to implement all of these onto my body. The elephant in the room also needs to be assessed.'
The pulsating system essence that was kept within MF soul was calling the scroll nonstop since this morning. Knowing that both of them have an otherworldly property with a foreign dimensional ties to each other, making those two things met might result in unsatisfactory results.
"Goddammit Fortune, is this one of your schemes again!?"
Shaking her head lightly, she removed the thought of proceeding with the foreign substances.
"The modification will go first. Second, I'll deal with the unknown dimensional matter. Third, I'll deal with the ever tail-eating snake."
MF didn't want to waste any time, all of the needed materials were available within the cave such as the magical herbs that were growing naturally within the damp environment as if they were sprawled by mother nature's piss. Numerous mid-rank mana crystals were sighted as well, and lastly, Seth's Finger.
Unlike numerous looted Artifacts she had in her space-pocket pouch. Seth's Finger was a complex item that had a magical dense formation circuit for continuously gathering mana without the use of consciousness strings.
MF heard the rumor of it numerous times, albeit she wasn't able to steal it because of how strong the creator was. Ironically, the very item that she wanted for years was in her possession now.
"Oh right, I almost forgot."
The tall lady undressed all of her clothes and put them within her space-pocket pouch. She liked the black dress and because of the destructive nature of her gene modification process, she would like her favorite dress to stay unharmed.
"Foel would laugh at me if she is here by now."
Without further ado, she made a small space between her organs to store her future core.
First gene modification, 'Core Infusion'. Could be categorized as passive skill as a whole because of the gene formation that allowed a living being to form an energy reactor similar to how nuclear fission works.
No Calamity other than the Tarrasque had this abnormally frightening ability. Although the way that the Inchling used was rather harmful to a small humanoid body, MF thought of something better than implanting a literal nuclear reactor with severe radiation that would make her body cells mutate irregularly all the time.
"The Seth's Finger."
MF implanted a bio structural RNA together with the cancer cell that she could manipulate to condense the dagger into an Energy Core.
She used Gene Fractioning to disassemble the trait of the 'Core Infusion' to adapt the use of mana instead of pure nuclear energy. Combining the 'Mana Utilizer' gene that she had fractionated from the 'Instant Motoric Transmitter', MF had made a totally different core than she had expected.
'Mana Reactor' gene schematic acquired and implemented.
"T-this is more painful than I thought."
MF pushed the hot orb into the small crevice of her organs below her lungs. Her skin and tissue were burned and tormented until she had successfully implemented the reactor as her energy supplier.
The 'Mana Reactor' included two prominent features. Firstly, to store the mana that was gathered from the converter formation within the core, MF should be able to use it as a pseudo depository realm without the 'realm' theoretically and gather mana manually too.
Secondly, was an artificial semi-energy generator that converts the mana gathered by the core into a physical energy that she could use. To add her own touch, MF added an infinite cancer growth within the core that would be converted into physical energy using some bio-contraption of her genetic machinery. This would help the reactor to supply more fuel for MF to use.
The joy and excitement was subverting the pain she had to go through like a child that was given a bonus present on her birthday.
"Mana, finally I will be able to use it. I'll take this as an early present, fufufu."
Her next birthday was only 19 days away until she became 3002 years old. It's her tradition to celebrate the upcoming years of her own every time she passes a milestone as long as she was alive. She will never forget her very first birthday party in the village back then when her view of the world was still kind and hopeful.
Slicing a cake, with numerous people singing her a happy birthday song for helping the farm. What a blissful day, she still remembered Martha, her first mother-like figure who always told her that everything would be fine even though MF was a little bit of a naughty child back then.
Even though she was already a thousand and few hundred years old at that time.
She remembered Joshu, Clementine, Rouka, Tanu, Yakol, everyone in the village that was murdered by the Calamities. MF could only hide behind the barrel while surrounding herself with an anti-calamity frequency that she developed on the artic place. She even tried to amplify the wave until blood were gushing out of her eyes, but it's simply not enough.
'If only I had this power back then, if only those Usurpers had saved Martha back then…'
Ignoring the single tear that fell from her eyes, she continued the next gene modification.
