Feeling convinced that John was a suitable host, Jaus chose to proceed with the test. Certainly, John's arms and limbs remaining stable and refusing to explode had already given him enough proof but he chose to go further as he had not done with Melinda.
He had this feeling, he was almost sure, and what scientist wouldn't want to test out his intuition. John would be strong, much stronger than Melinda and that excited him greatly, he certainly wouldn't let his non-existent morality or his lingering conscience impede his judgment as his body brimmed with excitement and joy.
Just as planned, the green liquid streaked down through the colorless tubes that brought a passage into John's body, and into him, it went.
The test monkey of a man had his skin lit up in a green hue that one could easily notice and in his inner body as well. His veins which were invisible due to the distance and how thin they were shone green as well.
He almost seemed inhuman and probably anyone aside from Jaus would have attempted to run away from the sight of him.
His abdominal section grew in volume slightly and the veins there appeared dilated, these were signs of bloating and Jaus suddenly appeared nervous, he still had the excitement in him but the distasteful feeling of worry disturbed him greatly.
' I didn't take it too far' he convinced himself
John became afraid over this and moved around lightly but he didn't feel any pain due to the painkillers he had taken earlier, he just didn't expect this and he was afraid his tummy might burst open sending his innards plat against the tube surface.
Miraculously, both of their worries were made unwarranted as John's abdomen reduced and went back to how it was. The green glow in his body dimmed and disappeared.
His body assimilated the Mulkers blood and he was in one piece, although he was very uncomfortable that he couldn't move.
" Yes!" Jaus shouted and swung his right arm in victory.
" Ohh, let me get you out of that" he sent the tubes back and rushed to free the young man.
He pulled the tubes and John joined in as well and they were all off his body.
A bit of blood came out from the holes but it was nothing worth worrying about except for the fact that it glowed dimly regularly.
" How do you feel?"
" I don't know, I can't feel pain now so that's out of the option"
" Nothing changed?"
" Nothing changed in your appearance, I'll take some blood samples to test"
" Well, we surely can move to the next phase."
The two went down the elevated platform where the tubes were placed.
" Just rest on the chair there, I'll do the rest"
John laid down and Jaus brought a sterilized syringe and needle, he took the blood he needed and placed a bit under his light microscope.
" Whoa," he exclaimed and chuckled.
He had seen this before, with Melinda however he was a bit different. His cells were bigger than they were supposed to be and some sides of the membrane were occupied with something green, not quite as porous as the membrane.
He noticed that the cells were glowing green light regularly.
Melinda's case was almost the same except that her cells didn't increase in size significantly, John's cells simply integrated the organic components of the Mulkers blood into his cells which made his cells bigger however Melinda's cells had part of their cytoplasm and membrane replaced and no significant size could be noticed.
" Well, you may not know it yet but I have noticed some changes," he said to John who was simply lying, and then proceeded to tell him what he found out.
" Well, did you notice any change in her abilities right after?"
" No, No No!"
" She was still the same, her sleep cycle changed and she was more energetic than before, that was it"
" Perhaps we didn't wait for enough, we didn't have time to make the observations we wanted and the tests we wanted to run
" Do you think I'll be the same?" John asked looking down and turning his wrists.
" I'm sure you will be different"
John came to his feet and shifted his gaze to the door of the spacious room he had his physical capabilities tested.
" What? Do you want to go in there?" Jaus asked.
He ignored however and walked towards it
" Come with me"
" Okayyy, don't you want your wounds cleaned?"
" That can wait" John replied
He stood at the door, once he got inside, he skimmed through with his eyes. His gaze suddenly met the battle android and he suddenly turned back to Jaus that it almost scared him.
" What?!" he cried
" I suddenly feel confident and energetic, I wanna fight that bot again"
" Ok, big man" he then went for his tab and put on the bot.
" I'm guessing that you want the hard mode now"
With that, the robot was suddenly made to come up and it was instructed to target John.
It ran quickly but nothing that the eye couldn't follow and then it halted right in front of John.
The two positioned themselves at the center with a few feet between them and recognized each other as foes.
Crossing those few meters so quickly that an average human wouldn't be able to react, the robot lunged Its right arm right to John's face but an obstacle stopped it, John had easily reacted with his left hand and caught the aggressive punch, he wasn't taken aback either.
" Well that's certainly a change" Jaus exclaimed.
John brought his right hand and both of his hands were on the bot's right and he pulled and slammed it to his right and left repeatedly until its arm came off.
PA PA PA
The sound of plastic and metal breaking apart sounded in the room.
" Wow, Overkill!"
" Impressive!" Jaus shouted and clapped. He was amazed by this development.
" Well, you're certainly not as strong as Melinda or those monsters. You're are stronger than the renowned bodybuilders at least"
" I can still do much more," John said clenching and releasing his right fist, he fixed his gaze strongly on it.
