Bizarre Realm-Chapter 244 - 40: Genetic Lock! Research on Flesh Contamination
Veronica’s mental pollution was corrected by Shawn.
If she were a human, she would be a normal person now.
But unfortunately, her race is Enchanting Demon, so now she’s a normal Enchanting Demon. Normal Enchanting Demons are like those of the Bottomless Abyss, and their craving for desires is natural. Even Transcendents from the Restraint School are influenced, leading to certain changes in mentality.
"Still made an empirical error."
"When dealing with non-human Transcendents, those who have fully converted their race template, one must be cautious in the future."
Shawn’s previous correction of Akidina-Duwa didn’t encounter such issues. The Dark Elf, although somewhat sinister and deceitful in mentality, does not exhibit the extremity of desires like a Demon. Humanoid creatures’ innate rationality is relatively normal, whereas the Demon Path counts as a special product, driven by amplified primal instincts.
Honestly, Shawn felt a bit weak in the knees.
It’s not that he couldn’t manage, but the Enchanting Demon’s constitution was excessively draining. If he couldn’t pass the constitution exemption judgment, they would really suck him dry.
—— Bear’s Tenacity.
Shawn casually cast a spell to strengthen his constitution, then opened his Magic Notebook to begin today’s recording and research work.
The little Enchanting Demon couldn’t disrupt his daily routine today.
Address it properly later.
—— Ghostly Skill.
Shawn commenced today’s alchemical research. He needed to create a Spiritual Signal Device for maintaining the Mind Link. It’s uncertain whether due to the Mind Link, part of the Enchanting Demon’s desires transmitted to him as well. It requires caution and thorough research for detailed record-keeping.
"Demonic essence is akin to the Seven Deadly Sins."
"Following instincts is the true Demon; not following instincts could lead to loss of control."
"A balance must be found within."
Ghostly Skill transformed the steel in hand into the outline of a palm. This was Shawn’s first alchemical construct—ET1, planning to use fifteen thousand Gindele (one thousand five hundred Soul Stone) to craft an alchemical assistant. The original Clay Golem was still too clumsy.
Of course, he wasn’t crafting a traditional alchemical construct. ET1 had two extra mechanical arms for alchemical micro-operations.
"Master."
While Shawn was immersed in research, the graceful figure of Succubus - Veronica emerged, her charming face flushed with redness that extended even to her fair arms. The pale purple Demon Tattoo became more distinct, nestled slightly below the collarbone.
This Demon Tattoo is reminiscent of the Demon Pattern of the Red-Robed Mage, except Enchanting Demons don’t need to shave all body hair, only need to clear the lower body.
If it were a Mage, even eyebrows might need to be shaved off completely.
Succubus - Veronica’s sweet and honeyed voice returned to more normalcy, yet carried a hint of languid suggestiveness. It’s likely she suppressed most of her demonic instincts herself. From an academic perspective from the previous life, the body structure of Enchanting Demons differs from ordinary humans; their demand for ’dopamine’ is substantial.
"The Demon Path should be considered dual pollution, with both mental and physical pollution."
"Therefore, I cannot solve it for the time being."
"The Warrior Path’s loss of control traits seem to be inexplicable bloodthirsty, cruel, and brutal desires, not driven by mentality but by physiologically secreted substances that affect their emotional consciousness."
"Moreover, the adrenaline levels of the Warrior Path far exceed those of others, making them easily excited in battle."
Flesh pollution.
This is still an unresolved research topic for Shawn.
Shawn calmly raised his head, glancing at the enchanting visage with a hint of blush on Veronica’s face. The Enchanting Demon’s gaze was extraordinarily captivating, akin to the deep affection expressed from a previous life’s metaphor—they look at a dog with such passion.
Enchanting Demons are born masters of performance, their acting skills far surpass that of human actors.
Shawn gently raised his hand, sending a Secret Technique Seal floating over. He said softly, "This is the next step in the plan I’ve devised for your cultivation."
"Your mental pollution has been corrected by me."
"Now, the main issue you face is the flesh pollution brought by the transformed body of the Enchanting Demon."
"You must learn to completely dominate your own body."
"Having desires is normal, but being driven by a Demon’s bodily instincts means you’ll never step onto the Path of Destiny."
Succubus - Veronica’s expression was momentarily stunned, the alluring blush on her charming visage gradually dissipating. She solemnly bowed her head, softly saying, "As you command, Master."
She was very clever, recovering her senses quickly and regaining her rationality.
Shawn manipulated the Invisible Hand, picking up the mechanical arm before him, continuing his research while instructing, "Find me an Orc Path Transcendent, preferably someone showing signs of madness."
"I am currently researching the topic of flesh pollution."
"Complete transformation into an Orc seems to exhibit ’berserk’ characteristics. Their rage frenzy may not be solely driven by mentality, but likely comes from the secretion of certain physiological substances."
"If the research succeeds, I should be able to find corresponding ways to correct Transcendents of the Warrior Side Path."
Spiritual pollution is treated using Mind Surgery.
As for flesh pollution, Shawn thought it might involve alchemical potions.
