Aaron looked at his necklace, with a soft look on his face, he pulled off a small part of it and looked at the vial of blood hidden within it.
Looking at the blood vial for a bit, he could feel the power coming from it.
The memory of him getting his ass handed to him by Gifu replayed in his mind over and over again.
The memory of when the explosion went off replayed in his mind over and over again.
The explosion had caused some wounds to the entity, enough blood leaked out of the beast so that he could have enough Vial for Ikki and whatever George in his father needed in order to finish the new stamp.
He looked at the blood....he could drink it and amp his own power by a lot and considering his body physiology, he will be able to produce enough Antibody in order to avoid turning into a mindless fool.
This little blood sample was basically free power....if he took it for himself his chances of achieving his goal in his fight against Gifu became much clearer.
With a heavy sigh, he made his decision. Carefully, he walked over to his makeshift lab setup in the corner of the room.
Placing the vial under a powerful microscope, he prepared the necessary instruments. He couldn't risk becoming a mindless monster driven by power.
Instead, he would dilute the potency of Gifu's blood, removing the gene that incited the uncontrollable hunger for power.
His hands moved deftly, combining the blood with a stabilizing solution and isolating the gene sequence that caused the insanity.
Not Dna, as the entity possessing Gifu was not really a race possessing blood in the conventional sense.
It was more akin to a spirit, something along those lines.
So the thing he had to take care of, was the small 'gene' that allowed the creature some form of control or influence over the whoever injected it into their system.
Under normal circumstances, human tech shouldn't be able to see that kind of thing...
"Yow Abi, mind erasing it for me...pretty please"
The vial of blood in his hand glowed a bit and just like that it had been purified.
Well dam, that saved him like a week's worth of work, thank Abi.
It's kind of convenient having Abi as a friend, welp she was the one who insisted on helping him so he didnt really see a problem in asking for her help with something.
Now, The only thing he had to do, was dillute the blood a bit more so that it worked as amp to something that already there.
Ikki already have some form of Gifu dna in there, so if he could stimulate, then maybe Ikki might awaken a busted-ass ability, considering Gifu sticks with having an ability that breaks reality, the more busted the ability the better.
He worked with a precision born from countless hours in the lab, knowing that any mistake could be disastrous.
Finally, after what felt like hours, he had a diluted sample that retained the power without the dangerous side effects.
Aaron held the modified vial up, a sense of accomplishment washing over him. This was the right choice.
Now he could gain strength on his terms, not Gifu's. With determined steps, he approached Ikki's healing tube, the dim light casting shadows on the walls.
Carefully, Aaron inserted the vial into a specialized port on the healing tube. He watched as the blood was drawn into the system, a thin crimson line snaking its way through the transparent tubing.
The liquid coursed through the tube, merging with the healing solution before entering Ikki's veins.
Aaron observed intently as Ikki's body reacted. At first, Ikki twitched slightly, then more violently.
His teeth seemed to grow sharper, and his eyes briefly flashed a deep red.
The monitors around the tube showed Ikki's vitals going haywire, but Aaron remained unfazed.
He watched every spasm, every shiver, as Ikki's body struggled to adapt to the powerful infusion. The tension in the room was palpable.
Suddenly, Ikki's heart flatlined. For ten agonizing seconds, there was nothing but silence.
Aaron's eyes remained locked on the monitors, unblinking, until finally, Ikki's heart resumed its rhythm, strong and steady.
The next day, the training ground buzzed with a sense of urgency. Aaron and Ikki stood facing each other in the open space, surrounded by reinforced walls that bore the scars of previous training sessions. The morning light filtered through the high windows, casting long shadows across the floor.
Ikki, still groggy from having slept for two days straight, shook off the last vestiges of sleepiness. He rolled his shoulders and stretched, trying to get a feel for his newly awakened powers. Aaron watched him closely, assessing his condition.
"Alright, let's see what you've got," Aaron said, his voice calm yet commanding.
Ikki nodded and took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing in focus. He charged toward Aaron, his movements a blur. Before he realized what had happened, Ikki found himself crashing into the far wall with a resounding thud.
....
The wall was fine....and even his minor wounds healed...quickly.
Aaron chuckled, walking over to Ikki, who was picking himself up from the ground. "Considering you slept for two days, we have five days to get you into shape and help you master your powers," Aaron said with a smile.
As he spoke, a suit of high-tech armor began to materialize around his body, encasing him in sleek, protective plating. The armor hummed with energy, its design both functional and intimidating.
"Let's dance," Aaron declared, his voice now amplified and slightly distorted by the suit's helmet.
Ikki grinned, the adrenaline of the challenge washing away his fatigue. He braced himself, feeling the newfound strength coursing through his veins. The red glint in his eyes reappeared, and he could sense the power ready to be unleashed.
Pov change.
"I am bored.....let me just.."
And just like that several orphans blew up, just because Gifu felt bored, it was so predictable now that the anomaly was in hiding.
He had fought the weekend forces time and time again that he growled bored and disinterest in them
He played around with them a lot.
He had his fun torturing them, making them watch their kid die, throwing Itching powder on some without arms.
The stuff, a sudden explosion was heard, this was probably all the grenades he put under the piles of leaves in the park.
A kid must have died to them again....none of his business.
He wonder should he leave a bunch of pedophiles in a room full of kids while making the parent watch what they do.
This should be fun....
Life is so boring, there was nothing to excite him whatsoever.
Meanwhile, near Gifu, Daiji was seen witnessing this mayhem...
He felt like he was watching the devil do its work.
"Please spare my child..."The lady begs holding her newborn child in her hand....
"Sure I will spare the child" Gifu replied dryly looking at the woman, who now seem to be glad that her child wouldn't die.
"Thank you Gifu~sama"
Before the lady could finish her sentence, she was transformed into a mindless beast.
"I said I wouldn't do anything to the child...I never said anything about you" Gifu said with a smile as he watched the mother look at her newborn with what seemed to be drool falling down her mouth.
"Let see if your mother instinct are as good as human praise it to be" Gifu said smilling.
Daiji's heart pounded in his chest as he watched the scene unfold.
The mother's transformation was horrifying, her instincts warped into something monstrous. The implication of what was about to happen made his stomach churn.
He couldn't bear to look directly but couldn't turn away either. Tears streamed down his face as the grotesque reality of Gifu's cruelty became undeniable.
Daiji's reaction said it all. His wide, horrified eyes reflected the unspeakable acts unfolding before him. He clenched his fists, his body trembling with a mix of fear, rage, and helplessness. The gruesome scene was burned into his mind, a nightmarish memory that would haunt him forever.
