"Yes, it's ginger. It's a plant-based fusion beast that has successfully gained the ability to reproduce."
"No, Father, this thing?"
Edward, unusually, showed an expression of being unable to contain himself; he simply couldn't understand why anyone would be so bored.
He had heard Alice complain about ginger being used to disguise potatoes before; she had eaten stir-fried potato shreds with ginger before.
Who would have thought that this thing could go even further, turning ginger into shredded potatoes?
"So, Edward, alchemy, isn't it amazing?"
The emperor seemed to have a mischievous smirk about him; Edward usually seemed so serious that even his father was a little curious.
"Alright, alright, let's continue. The one in front is the work of the previous emperor, a technology that directly replaces human organs with magical beast organs, beast chimera."
Edward saw a man bound by chains, sealed by magic, and continuously injected with drugs. His left hand had turned into a claw covered in red scales, and other parts of his body had also undergone subtle changes.
"This technology can easily drive people crazy, but the resulting combat power is also very real."
Are you worried about these people? Not at all. They are already death row inmates or have life sentences that are unlikely to be reduced. They are being put to good use here.
Okay, that's all for now. Go check out the project I started, which is also for you.
I call this research area "Perfect Life," which represents the power I dream of.
"Perfect life? Does such a thing really exist?"
Edward followed the Emperor to another area, which looked much cleaner and tidier than the previous testing grounds.
No, there were all sorts of anatomical diagrams hanging around, and some notebooks recording the reactions of the modified individuals.
"The experimental subjects survived for five minutes before dying from energy exhaustion."
"The experimental subjects survived for one day, but died due to their inability to control their flesh and blood, abnormal perception, and mental breakdown."
"The experimental subjects attempted to change their own structure, twisting in the direction of the monster, but could only complete half of it and could not revert to their original state."
"..."
Record after record proved that the bloodshed here was no less than that of other testing grounds.
And all of this has only one purpose...
"The creation of a perfect life form that can be called the ultimate life form can theoretically have a lifespan of a thousand years."
Even if a heart or head is lost, it can regenerate or survive for a short period of time until the head is reconnected.
With its powerful self-healing ability, the body can better store energy, and it has even considered imitating plants by eating soil and basking in the sun.
It is also possible to absorb the flesh and blood of monsters or other life forms, analyze their life structure, transform one's own body, and achieve synchronization.
"They can freely control their bodies, gaining four hands, two heads, three hearts, and other organ alterations..."
Edward found it hard to imagine what it would be like if such a thing were actually completed.
"Do you see this, Edward? This is my ambition, and the ambition that all previous emperors have possessed."
Whether it's chimera, limb extension, or other projects, we've all fantasized about achieving superhuman strength.
At that time, as perfect life forms, our existence will surpass that of all other beings.
Whether it's magic, martial arts, alchemy, or anything else, any path is absolutely dominant.
Edward saw it in his father's eyes, the emperor of the El Empire, and the fanaticism in his gaze.
