Chapter 2286 Orochimaru's Research on Monsters! (Bonus Chapter 25 for the humble reader who is also a patron)

"Did the hungry wolf still get away?"

In the top-floor office of the Justice Society headquarters, Morgan William stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the increasingly prosperous K City from the floor-to-ceiling window, muttering to himself.

He has seen the whole thing.

The final barrage of light orbs, though seemingly overwhelming, successfully helped the monster, possibly a phoenix, take away Garou.

However, it did not cause any real harm to Ete, Gilvy, Marta, or the Justice League.

Because Bang and Bomb joined forces to unleash Armament Haki at the critical moment, protecting the entire area.

Fortunately, the enemy only fired one round of light bullets.

If there are a few more rounds, it won't last long.

At that point, you'll only be able to protect yourself; you won't be able to care about others.

at the same time.

They also obtained more information about the Monster Association, including the existence of a phoenix-like giant bird monster and a powerful individual capable of firing a large number of light bullets beyond visual range.

The spectacular scene reminded Morgan William of Admiral Kizaru of the Navy Headquarters.

This caught his attention, and he immediately reported it to the General Staff of the 'Different Warfare Committee'.

But since things have come to this point, we can only put aside the matter of the hungry wolf for now.

This month.

The Morgan consortium has reached an agreement with the supercontinental government to build an underground railway system connecting every city.

The profits from the completed project will be divided 80/20 over fifty years.

The Morgan financial group owns 80% of the shares, while the mainland Chinese government owns 20%.

However, in fifty years, this division will be reversed, with the supercontinental government receiving 80% and the Morgan Group receiving 20%, and there is no time limit.

Morgan William had no objection to this.

He knew very well that the real target of this agreement was the World Government, which was about to take over the entire hero world.

It is something to be happy and honored that the world government is willing to continue to share 20% of its profits with its own conglomerate.

However, Morgan William decided that once things settled down in this world, he would voluntarily reduce the returns fifty years from now to 10%.

As for the specific plan for building the subway, the priority is to first establish a solid foundation in City K.

Then, using this as a starting point, connect the surrounding cities of L, M, I, and J.

Until its influence extends to all cities on the supercontinent.

However, the underground environment of this world is more complex and harsher than that of other worlds.

It contains all sorts of monsters, some of which have existed for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, building a subway here requires consideration of more than just geological and technical issues.

We also need to deal with attacks that could occur at any time.

Fortunately, they had previously enlisted the help of dwarf and dark elf troops.

With the underground people already largely subdued, they can fully support the construction.

Besides.

Gayram originally planned to use a combination of alchemy, earth magic, and tunnel boring machines to create a tunnel.

Recently, I had a sudden idea to ask Elder Centipede, Madara Uchiha's 'ninja beast', for help.

He believed that the other party was extremely skilled at drilling underground.

It is large and long.

Once you follow the designated route and complete a loop, the longest tunnel will be finished.

Morgan William thought it was indeed a good idea, but the key was to get Madara Uchiha's approval.

He knew very well that the Hokage had a rather bad temper.

However, in order to improve project efficiency, we can only find time to talk to the other party.

at the same time.

The Biochemical Research Institute, also located within the Justice Association headquarters campus.

Orochimaru also stood in front of the large glass window, watching the two strange people inside who were being subjected to intense electric shocks.

Dr. Genos stood behind him, watching the various data changes on his tablet.

Suddenly, he exclaimed with delight, "It works! The monster cells are separating from his body!"

But this feeling was fleeting.

Because as one of the monsters' cells separated, its own genetic chain also collapsed.

A few seconds later, the strange man had turned into a bloody mess.

Failed again!

This disappointed both the researchers operating the equipment inside and Dr. Genos outside.

Fortunately, the other strange creature was only in a coma, and its vital signs indicated that it was still alive.

Previously, Chinjao handed over the monster cells brought by Gouketsu to Uryu's rapid response team, who then transferred them here.

Orochimaru immediately began research with Dr. Genus.

This time, they found a strange person who had naturally transformed.

Then they found another death row inmate and turned him into a monster by feeding him monster cells.

The differences between the two were identified through scanning and inspection procedures using various equipment.

Researchers were then tasked with conducting various cruel experiments.

Until it was determined that the electric shocks had a significant effect on their freak cells.

The goal is to find a way to develop technology that can restore monsters to human form.

But it seems that it still won't work.

The only discovery was that the monster cells consumed by the death row inmates were more powerful than naturally mutated monster cells.

"As expected, it's not so easy to make a monster rewind time," Dr. Genus sighed.

He was well aware of the significance this technology would have if it could be implemented.

Unfortunately, it's difficult!

The bio-weapons he had previously created at the House of Evolution.

They also lack the ability to revert to human form, even though they were originally human.

"I think we can break it down into several steps."

Orochimaru, however, remained unperturbed and continued with a smile:

"For example, instead of making the freak cells disappear, we could change them from being uncontrollable dominant to being uncontrollable recessive."

"This would resolve the physical mutation and perhaps also suppress certain special abilities."

"Then, when the uncontrollable becomes controllable, becoming a monster is no longer a bad thing, but rather the awakening of some kind of superpower."

"However, the key issue is the psychological changes and mental impact brought about by the transformation into a monster."

Having said this, Orochimaru stopped speaking and thought to himself:

This is very similar to the demonization in the Claymore world, and should be of some reference value.

According to the researcher Daye, during the demonic awakening process, it is possible for the Greatsword Warrior to revert to human form through willpower.

Those who gain the freedom to awaken are called semi-awakened individuals.

However, there are two key factors for semi-awakened individuals.

One of them had the flesh and organs of demonized relatives implanted into their bodies when they were young.

I didn't know why before, but now it seems that it's because the rejection reaction has been reduced, making it easier to control one's demonic power.

Another key point is that the person must have a sufficiently strong mental power to suppress the hatred contained in the demonic power.

Only in this way can one maintain one's rational self as a human being, and this is also the key to switching to demonic form.

According to this theory.

Orochimaru plans to find a way to enhance the mental strength of these strange people.

Then let them develop a strong will to become human again.

This electric shock can be used as an auxiliary means of stimulating the monster cells.

Of course, the process of changing the freak cell's properties from dominant to recessive must also be carried out simultaneously.

Many research findings from the Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology demonstrate that the combination of science and technology with extraordinary power is the best way to solve problems and achieve results.

But how do I improve my mental strength?

Orochimaru felt that this matter was neither particularly difficult nor particularly simple.

The simplest and most direct way would be to have someone with strong mental power possess the monster's body.

Let's try controlling the mutated cells in my body again and see if that works.

However, this person must meet three conditions.

First, one must have sufficiently strong mental power; second, one must have the ability to possess another body; and third, one must be skilled at controlling cells.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up.

I know how to perform life restoration, mind transformation, and physical revitalization.

This drew his gaze to the strange man who had survived inside.

Let's try it out first!
