His body evolved, but his mind and spirit did not evolve in sync.
Ultimately, this led to a being that had already begun to surpass humanity transforming into a mindless monster, a creature of writhing flesh and blood.
The research on the El Empire can be considered as taking the first step, but now they want to go further but can't find any direction.
"Edward, you may not understand, but our biggest problem right now is how to make the mind carry the changes in the body."
As for the rest, the life force has been completed; the assimilation of flesh and blood, mimicry, and the absorption of the advantages of other existences—we have made progress in this regard.
"What? Really?"
The emperor's words sounded a little unbelievable: the second goal of the Perfect Life Project was to modify the body to create optimal aptitude for various pathways.
It can also absorb the advantages of monsters, making itself similar to the chimera monsters outside.
"This kind of thing..."
"This is entirely possible. Through the power of alchemy, we have discovered a special substance belonging to life, which I call primordial flesh and blood."
While a person is still in their mother's womb, their original state of flesh and blood changes, differentiating into bones, blood, flesh, and different organs.
Not only humans, but we also dissected magical beasts, and the result was that the magical beasts were in a similar situation.
Another record appeared before Edward, detailing the experiment the emperor had mentioned.
"By optimizing this primordial flesh and blood, which can differentiate into any structure, while ensuring its vitality, we can achieve the second goal."
Under normal circumstances, the flesh and blood in a perfect life form are in a similar state to that of an ordinary person, but they can ingest flesh and blood from different sources whenever needed.
Then they could transform a portion of their body into primordial flesh and blood, record it, mimic foreign matter, and preserve it, so they could use this power later.
There is already hope for this goal. The chimeras and limb-setting techniques of the previous emperors have explored this area to varying degrees.
The enhancement of life force and the modification of chimeras can now be completed as gently as possible, as long as there is enough external life force involved, without causing things like flesh rotting and explosions.
The only drawback is that the consumables required for the introduced life force might be a bit too much...
"Of course, we can't incorporate such modifications into the Perfect Life project right now."
A simple optimization of vitality has transformed the modifier into this form.
I don't know how long his sanity can last after the primordial flesh and blood evolution is added.
And, if another rampaging monster appears here, will we still be able to capture it alive? Will any alchemists be caught in the crossfire and die as a result?
If the first generation of modified beings was merely an enhancement of life force, then the envisioned second generation would be a monster in itself.
They weren't some crazy scientists (I'm sure), creating experimental products meant at least ensuring that even if the thing went out of control, it could be brought under control.
Otherwise, this isn't research; this is courting death—a single failure that could send everyone to their deaths.
The idea that researching life sciences could lead to the deaths of all researchers is not a funny joke at all.
"Alright, that's about it, Edward. I brought you here today just to tell you about our royal family's goals."
Now, do you have enough interest in the process of life's refinement? Are you willing to inherit our achievements and continue on that great path towards that goal?
“Of course, Father. I think this is what I’ve wanted and longed for all along – the forging of life.”
