It was under the sacrificial protection of "Ink" that Ron was able to obtain extremely valuable experimental data from that terrifying energy conflict.
He turned and walked towards the analysis table, where the various components separated from Franka’s blood were neatly arranged.
"The true essence of the ’Preservative Strain’ bloodline..."
Ron looked at the analysis report in his hand, lost in thought.
This data completely overturned his understanding of the ancient bloodline system, revealing a truth far more complex and dark than imagined.
Under the nearly self-sacrificial deep analysis of "Ink", he discovered three key traits of the "Preservative Strain" bloodline:
First: Exceptionally low corrosion
This was the most puzzling finding.
Conventionally, the essence of Abyss factors is chaos and corrosion.
Any creature that contacts Abyssal Energy inevitably suffers spiritual contamination and physical aberration.
This is the fundamental reason why Abyss exploration is so dangerous and why most explorers’ careers are extremely short.
But in Franka’s blood sample, these Abyss factors exhibited an unusually gentle nature, completely contrary to norms.
The chaotic energy that should have wildly eroded the host’s consciousness was as quiet as a tame lamb here.
Through precise measurements, Ron found that its corrosion had actually decreased by nearly half!
"This level of decay is by no means a natural phenomenon."
He wrote his judgment in the report:
"It must be the product of some extremely advanced artificial modulation technology. Moreover, the complexity of this technology far exceeds any bloodline modulation methods I currently know."
More unsettling is that this process of "gentling" is like a dormant volcano, capable of being activated by means.
Under some specified stimuli, these dormant Abyss factors could regain their original destructiveness at any time.
He boldly speculated that perhaps every "Preservative Strain" bloodline harbors such a time bomb.
Second: Extremely stable bloodline structure
What made Ron find even more unusual was the stability of the bloodline structure.
Generally, Abyss factors have a strong mutation tendency, continually reorganizing and evolving under environmental pressure.
Although this mutation is dangerous, it is also key for Abyssal Creatures to adapt to various extreme environments.
But within the "Preservative Strain" bloodline, this natural evolution tendency was almost completely suppressed.
"It’s like being forcibly ’frozen’ in a specific state by some invisible force..."
Ron gazed at the blood sample under the microscope, with those Abyss factors seemingly enchanted into immobile prisoners, mechanically operating along preset paths.
The traces of this artificial control were so apparent that one couldn’t help but wonder:
Is the so-called "Preservative Strain" system truly protecting these ancient bloodlines, or is it controlling and utilizing them?
Third: Incredible fusion adaptability
To verify his hypothesis, he conducted a series of fusion experiments.
He introduced a drop of "Preservative Strain" blood into various Abyssal Creature samples he collected:
"Desert Hunter" eye essence — fusion success rate: 84%
"Eco-cloak bug" tissue fragment — fusion success rate: 87%
High purity Abyss Crystal Fragment — fusion success rate: 79%
Even those extremely unstable Abyss spores — fusion success rate: 62%
Each experiment achieved unbelievably successful results.
The different Abyss factors that should have repelled and devoured each other displayed perfect coordination and compatibility when in contact with the "Preservative Strain" blood.
"This has transcended the realm of biology..."
Ron recorded the experimental data in shock:
"This universal adaptability is simply like... like some designed ’universal interface’."
Under normal circumstances, the fusion success rate between different Abyssal Creatures seldom exceeds 30%, often accompanied by intense repulsion reactions and unpredictable side effects.
