Hades
My pulse spiked as the magnified image began to move.
"This is the cell of a normal Lycan. Right now, it is in its active state—acting as a normal cell should, multiplying and performing other functions. But when exposed to an extreme electromagnetic force identical to that of a Blood Moon..."
Suddenly, the cell began to react violently, mutating.
The cell writhed on the screen, twisting into something grotesque. I watched in silence as Dr. Cohen's finger traced along the monitor, highlighting every shift, every mutation.
"Watch carefully," he murmured, his voice tinged with unease.
The simulated pulse of the Blood Moon's electromagnetic force surged across the display. The Lycan cell responded instantly—its membrane thickened, dark veins crackled along its surface, and the nucleus fractured, splitting into erratic, unstable offshoots.
The thing on the screen wasn't alive. It was a disaster in motion.
