(As usual, readers who find this chapter too complicated can skip to the conclusion at the end.)

After removing the 'Dragon Bone' parasite from the container, Todd prepared the mutant bacteria, Sutherland archaea, and Tyrant Virus, and began a series of experiments.

The first experiment involved injecting mutant bacteria into the body of the keel parasite.

A certain amount of regenerative bacteria was injected into the keel with a syringe. Ten minutes later, after a violent struggle, the keel parasite slowly fell into a state of death and lost all signs of life.

Todd dissected the parasite, sliced ​​it, and took samples. The results were pretty much what he expected.

As soon as the mutant bacteria come into contact with the cells and tissues inside the parasite, the latter produces a severe hyperentitive reaction, resulting in the death of a large number of host cells, and ultimately the parasite perishes along with the bacteria.

In the second experiment, Todd simultaneously injected Sutherland archaea and heterotrophic bacteria into the parasite, with the dosage ratio of the two not causing archaea mutations.

After injecting the two bacteria into the parasite, Todd waited for more than an hour, and the parasite was perfectly normal, as if nothing had happened.

Then the parasite is dissected and samples are taken for observation.

Todd discovered that the Sutherland archaea encased the mutant bacteria and released allergen toxins. However, because the parasite's nerve tissue differs from the human and animal nerve centers—the former being simple nerve fibers—it could not provide a suitable host environment. As a result, the Sutherland archaea and mutant bacteria failed to form an effective infection and were eventually excreted from the body along with the parasite's secretions.

The third experiment involved injecting Sutherland archaea and mutant bacteria into the parasite, but this time, the dosage of both exceeded the mutation threshold.

Instead of using a variety of bacteria to induce mutations, Todd caused mutations in the Sutherland archaea by increasing the injection dose of regenerating bacteria.

The mutated archaea began attacking every cell in the parasite's body. Combined with the characteristics of regenerating bacteria, each limb of the keel parasite began to grow wildly. The parasite's limbs, which were originally only able to support human limbs, grew to several meters in length in just two minutes.

Having learned from a previous experimental accident, Todd reacted quickly, entering monster mode as soon as the parasite began to mutate, and pinning the frenzied parasite firmly to the table.

After a struggle lasting more than ten minutes, the wildly growing dragon bone parasite finally stopped growing, but by then its size had increased to seven times its original size.

Todd used iron chains to firmly bind the mutated parasite to the table. Having regained his human form, he sat on the ground, panting heavily.

“It seems that mutations are effective against parasites.” Todd turned his gaze to the ‘Amber Stone’ on the materials shelf: “Then, what effect will the Tyrant Virus have?”

Five minutes later, the Tyrant Virus in the syringe was slowly injected into the mutated parasite. Todd watched as the mutated "dragon bone" on the operating table stopped its violent struggles, its body gradually shrank, and finally returned to its normal size. He let out a deep breath.

Logically speaking, this 'dragon bone' parasite in front of us has already completed its tyrant transformation and should have gained the ability to evolve and transform.

However, without trying it yourself, you can't be sure if the experiment was successful.

So Todd stripped naked and began to put the dragon bone on his body.

When the sharp spinal spur pierced Todd's body, the intense pain nearly made him faint on the spot.

With the help of his "Pain Resistance Ability," Todd gradually adapted to the presence of the "Dragon Bone" and began to move his limbs.

After carefully examining the tyrant-inspired "Dragonbone Armor" he was wearing, Todd was somewhat disappointed; it seemed no different from before.

"Logically, this set of dragon bones should possess the superpower of 'enhanced regeneration'."

As Todd said this, he raised his arm, recalling the scene of the parasite mutation.

It happened without warning.

Suddenly, the upper segment of the 'dragon bone' grew rapidly, and a brand new segment forked out from the dragon bone at Todd's wrist.

Todd stared dumbfounded at the newly grown dragon bone segment. He thought about it carefully and wondered: Could it be that the thoughts in his mind just now were transmitted to the dragon bone parasite through the spine, causing the mutation?

With that in mind, Todd decided to try again. He imagined the shape of the longsword in his mind, and sure enough, the keel on his left and right wrists grew forward by about forty centimeters, looking like two fist-shaped swords attached to his body. (The specific shape is similar to the hidden blade in Assassin's Creed.)

Seeing this, Todd was overjoyed and quickly began to imagine the shapes of the scimitar and shield in his mind.

The dragon bone parasite on Todd's right palm grew rapidly towards the front of his hand, eventually forming an arc-shaped segment. The lower part of the segment sharpened into a refining blade, while the upper part blunted into a refining back.

The keel parasite on his left arm, like an octopus's tentacles, branched out into countless resilient, intertwined segments that eventually formed a thick and sturdy shield.

Looking at the "parasite sword and shield" in front of him, Todd was initially taken aback, but gradually he came to understand how the Tyrant Parasite worked.

Within the parasite, an excess of regenerative bacteria triggered a mutation in the Sutherland archaea. The Tyrant Virus halted the mutation and evolved the regenerative ability into "enhanced regenerative ability." However, because the parasite only possesses nerve fibers and cannot freely control its form like a living organism, it will remain in its normal form without external stimulation and will not evolve into its evolved form.
