So even though Edward was being quite friendly, they just looked at each other without speaking immediately.
Finally, the emperor came before him.
"Edward, you..."
"Without a doubt, Father, I am still me, it's just that a leap in life has made your instincts alert you."
"Right now, I should demonstrate our masterpiece: the power of perfect life."
At this point, he walked over to a fish tank on his own.
Yes, this testing ground also has fish, after all, it would be boring for so many alchemists to stay here.
However, because everyone feeds the fish, they often overfeed them to death, and then the fish are replaced with new ones.
The fish in the water now are the goldfish we put in yesterday.
Edward placed his hand on the water's surface, and suddenly a wriggling, fleshy tentacle appeared in his palm.
There was no wound or bleeding in this place, but a tentacle like this had appeared.
"Gurgle..."
As it probed into the water, the end of its tentacle suddenly opened up, transforming into a pocket-like shape, and moved closer to the fish.
"Splash..."
Sensing the change in the water flow, the goldfish began to twist its body, trying to move away.
But what appeared before it was Edward, who had become a perfect being. Before the goldfish even moved, Edward had already calculated its next route.
The pocket just covered the goldfish perfectly, the whole package.
"Gulp..."
The bulging tentacles shrank back to their original size the second instant after swallowing the goldfish, and then retracted into Edward's body.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"And then, this is it."
Without any external intervention, his little finger detached from his palm and underwent a change in appearance while in mid-air.
Human skin, flesh, and bones transformed into the shape of the goldfish that Edward had just devoured.
"Thump..."
It entered the water smoothly and swam back and forth in the fish tank, looking no different from a normal goldfish.
Except, well, suddenly a goldfish's tentacles extended from its mouth and swallowed the other goldfish whole.
Then, the tentacles touched Edward's hand, and the goldfish was retracted into his body.
"Vitality enhancement, flesh and blood mimicry, and other ideas."
Without a doubt, I am now the perfect being in your eyes.
"..."
A moment of silence followed by cheers.
"Fantastic! We did it!"
"A miracle! This is a miracle! We have seized the power of evolution!"
"Your Highness has truly succeeded! Perfect life—perfect life is not a dream, it truly exists!"
As researchers passionate about academics, these alchemists could hardly contain their joy at this moment.
Perfect Life—this was a plan that seemed almost impossible for them to complete based on just the project description, but it actually came true.
Even the emperor set aside his royal airs at this moment and cheered with the others.
"Rejoice, for the world's first perfect life has been born."
He is the ultimate life form, Edward Mars, a member of the royal family of the El Empire.
