Abyss Sequence-Chapter 381 - 38: Samurai Mass Production Plan

Compared to the public’s interest in the ’Elf Visit,’ the academic community is more focused on what Sasa mentioned about ’the Abyss will eventually merge with Blue Star.’

Sasa has already provided screenshots and recordings of the contents of her findings from the Gass City Library. Ever since Alfheim encountered the Abyss, it has never severed contact, its history hasn’t been interrupted, and the information recorded by the elves is highly credible due to their long lifespan.

Upon viewing the screenshots and recordings released by Sasa, many scholars studying the Abyss were greatly troubled.

Nowadays, the wilderness of Blue Star is already frightening enough. If Blue Star were to fully merge with the Abyss, and demons started breeding on the surface, it would be a heavy blow to human civilization.

At present, the wilderness only has mutated creatures, which are merely physically robust without special abilities, making them relatively manageable.

Should demons breed in the wilderness, transportation between cities would become even more challenging.

Then, Blue Star might become like Alfheim now, where each city is an isolated island, with increasingly rare physical communication only possible via the internet.

Just imagining such a future is enough to make one feel despair.

However, Blue Star now relies on the Abyss.

Without the Abyss, Blue Star would lose its future as well.

An unknown force has restricted Blue Star’s technological development ceiling. The fundamental sciences have stagnated for over eighty years, with current advancement relying merely on existing knowledge.

They can only strive to transform, transitioning from a purely technological civilization into one powered by magic as a source of energy.

Fortunately, Magic Power is almost a universal force; with it, they can achieve many things previously unattainable with technology.

This is considered the only consolation.

The fusion of the Abyss and Blue Star brings despair, and yet completely eliminating the Abyss would bring another form of despair. Scholars can only watch calamity approach helplessly, filled with great anguish.

Under such circumstances, they can only expedite research, aiming to find solutions before the Abyss and Blue Star merge.

Either prevent the Abyss and Blue Star from merging or find methods to deal with demons; there is no other alternative.

The newly opened Crimson No.2 Abyss Academy immediately became busy. Even sophomore students were enlisted, forced to study while experimenting with their professors, which left them suffering greatly.

Fortunately, Sasa was no longer in that phase. With Yan Luo’s sponsorship, she acquired an independent laboratory not far from the Abyss Academy.

While Sasa traveled to Alfheim, the laboratory was already equipped with all experimental apparatus.

Sitting in the research institute director’s office, Sasa stretched lazily, feeling refreshed.

She has already sent out recruitment notices, indicating that joining her would allow research on the corpses of catastrophe-level demons.

This is an irresistible temptation for any aspiring scholar, as besides the flesh from the Ice Bear, only Sasa possesses catastrophe-level demon corpses on Blue Star.

Moreover, it’s an entire catastrophe-level demon corpse full—flesh and bones can be reassembled into a complete catastrophe-level demon.

Recently, Sasa has gained fame in the academic circle, so much so that people privately call her a ’lucky lady.’ Thus, upon sending out recruitment notices, she immediately received numerous private messages.

Not only were graduates seeking jobs, for example, some of Sasa’s senior colleagues, but even a few academic giants queried her privately.

They doubted Sasa’s claim of holding a whole catastrophe-level demon corpse.

Though the Abyss has materialized, few catastrophe-level demons exist within it. If they emerge, Hunters would quickly lock onto them and spread the news widely, yet no exploration town has reported any catastrophe-level demons being hunted so far.

—However, few knew that Sasa visited Alfheim with Yan Luo and the others.

Even though Sasa had previously published papers about Alfheim, not everyone noticed or, months later, remembered.

So Sasa uniformly replied to them: "Found in Alfheim."

Alfheim? Where is that?

After some contemplation, the skeptics realized it’s the Elf World.

Alfheim has always maintained contact with the Abyss, so catastrophe-level demons’ existence isn’t odd—it’s stranger if none appeared.

But does Alfheim having catastrophe-level demons relate to Sasa’s possession of one such demon’s corpse?

Could there be a formidable individual beside her capable of defeating catastrophe-level demons?

While the skeptics were still perplexed, Sasa had received a multitude of resumes, including from renowned academic giants.

Why do academic giants wish to join Sasa’s laboratory?

The reason is simple—Sasa can now present a catastrophe-level demon corpse, and in the future, possibly more.

Astute observers recognize her good rapport with Yan Luo—already capable of defeating the Master of the Abyss—who might now defeat catastrophe-level demons. At his growth rate, Sasa may soon acquire doomsday-level demon corpses.

Joining Sasa’s lab now is an investment; later, when she procures doomsday-level demon corpses, even academic giants will have no say in her lab, naturally ranking lower.

Seeing so many academic giants contacting her, Sasa couldn’t help but feel delighted, laughing loudly alone in her office.

At that moment, Sasa received a call request from Li Jiongming.

Answering it, she directly asked: "Professor, are you representing the academy to purchase catastrophe-level demon flesh from me?"

Upon those words, Li Jiongming understood what Sasa was willing to sell them.

Li Jiongming felt regretful because a demon corpse comprises more than ’flesh’ for study; organs, nerves, blood vessels, hormones, bone marrow, etc., are all worthy subjects.

Through demon corpse research, they might grasp the powerful secrets of demons.

Though it’s unfortunate that Sasa only wishes to sell the blood and flesh of catastrophe-level demons, this result is far better than getting nothing.

"That’s right, the academy intends to do so."

Subsequently, Sasa engaged in negotiation and bargaining with Li Jiongming.

Regardless of Li Jiongming being her teacher, Sasa wouldn’t relent in this matter.

She has limited ownership of the demon corpse; most belongs to Yan Luo and Yevgenia—selling it to the academy requires discussing with them.

After intense negotiation and debate, both Sasa and Li Jiongming obtained satisfying results.

Concluding negotiations with Li Jiongming, Sasa rose and headed to the laboratory.

Having sufficiently rested, she temporarily logged resumes and planned to seek Jin Miaomiao’s help later after getting back to Yan Luo.

Meanwhile, she intended to thoroughly study reducing magic adaptation.

Sasa confirmed that Kaskiz’s toxin lowers human magic adaptability, calculating dosage per human weight.

With one experiment, it can be directly applied.

Sasa is contacting volunteers; since Saint’s Blood can replicate Yan Luo’s bodily structure onto others, she’s reached out to some disabled individuals.

Yan Luo’s current recovery abilities are considered miraculous; even though Saint’s Blood cannot immediately rehabilitate disabled individuals, with Yan Luo’s structural template, they gradually regain vitality.

If the first experiment succeeds, Sasa will apply this solution on herself, becoming a Samurai, and resolve physical defects.

Currently, success for the enhancement protocol is just a step away.

Sasa has recruited volunteers, only awaiting their response.

Before volunteers respond, Sasa must ensure her plan’s one-time success, warranting multiple animal trials.
