Mors sat cross-legged on the cold wooden floor, a bucket was placed close to his left side. In front of him lay four bottles of semi-solid red liquid. Mors breathes in as he grabs one of the bottles and opens it up. He brought it to his mouth and drank its contents. As the liquid landed in his stomach, he felt nausea building up.
But he forces himself to shallow that. He closes his eyes and started to breath in and out. Mors started to gather the Qi towards the semi-blob of red blood. The red troll's blood started to change and grow the moment his Qi enter it. Like cancer, the blood started to grow tentacles and replicate itself.
Mors started to send more of his Qi into the blood. With his Qi inside of it, he started to fight back against the troll blood. He slows down the rapid growth of the blood, allowing him time to get a more in-depth look at red blood cells. Normally red doesn't have DNA inside of them.
Their role as movers of oxygen, waste, and nutrients doesn't allow for space that other cells will consider essential. But troll red blood cells are different. They carry DNA inside of them, allowing them to reproduce. But that is not all, the DNA in the red blood cell carries all the genetic information need it to create another troll.
Trolls are monsters of immense size and strength, with great healing abilities. Because these trolls don't have sex chromosomes. More trolls are created when a troll bleeds or losses a limb. If left alone, a single troll will form a large horde. But that is not the only reason they are killed on sight.
As a troll grows older, they become wiser, stronger, and larger. It is a rumor that if left for long enough, a troll can grow larger than the world.
'Of course, that is lie'
Mors chuckles in his mind as he moves more of his Qi into the red blood DNA. Mors Qi started to slowly inspect the DNA, but as Qi started to touch the DNA, the DNA started to crumble and die.
'Shit'
Mors moves on to another red blood cell and repeated the process. And once again the DNA crumble and die at the touch of his Qi.
'Shit'
He could not help but curse as he continue to try and cut off the gene that grants the troll is regeneration powers. After what felt like an eternity, Mors was able to finally figure out how to cut the DNA without it dying. After choosing another red blood cell to experiment with, he got to work.
He moves his Qi into the red blood cell. Inside he moves his Qi around to replicate the proteins the cell uses to unwind and replicate the DNA. Mors with his now Qi-made proteins goes to the DNA and started to unwind it. Soon left with two worlds long single-stranded DNA were left floating around in the cell.
Mors replicates a small portion of the DNA. He then orders the cell to make the protein coded by that DNA piece. Soon enough the cell got to work. It started to produce what Mors can only call long fibers of protein.
'not th-'
Mors opens his eyes and grabs the nearby bucket. He vomits his stomach contents into the bucket. The semi-solid troll blood is included. Once the troll's blood was outside, it started to grow tentacles, it was only a matter of time before a new troll was born.
Mors grabs the semi-solid liquid and started to drain the blood of Qi. Soon the blood stop moving as it coagulated into a solid red mass. Mors throws the solid blood into the bucket as he turns back to his starting position.
"Looks like one hour is my max"
Mors said to himself as he grab another bottle and drank its contents. Once again closing his eyes and breathing in and out. Mors repeated the same process as before. Moving from gene to gene, looking for the right one. After one hour of searching and having to throw up the blood and deal with it, did Mors realize he going at this the wrong way.
He drinks another bottle of blood and gets to work. He injects the blood with Qi and then hold it back, so a troll did not start growing in his stomach. Mors uses his Qi to cut a part of a random red blood cell. He then moves his Qi into the cell and watches how the cell heals its wound.
He saw how the proteins duplicated the gene and then made the protein needed to repair cell. And then pretty soon the cell got back to its normal self. With a smile on his face, Mors made protein with his Qi, denature the DNA, and copy the gene that allows for regeneration.
He made another wound to the cell and made it copy the gene he copy from the DNA. And just like before, the protein was, and the cell heal back to its full strength. With a smile on his face, Mors started to copy the gene from all the red blood cells. He then moves these genes around his body.
Putting it his own cell DNA. He throws up the troll's blood and drinks another one. He continues this process with the last remaining troll blood bottle as well. At the end of 5 hours. Mors has fully implemented the troll gene into his cells. But it was not done just yet, to make sure nothing bad will happen to his gene. Mors started to circulate Qi around his body.
Meditating in the process and making sure the gene is working as intended. Mors opens his eyes after two extra hours of circulating his Qi. He looks at his right hand and bites his thumb. Breaking the skin and causing him to bleed. Two seconds later the wound close and his bleeding stopped.
He circulated his Qi around just to make sure nothing went wrong; a smile grew in his face as he notice no abnormalities.
"Upgrade success"
