Karazek’s bony fingers traced the throne’s armrest, emitting a creaking sound:
"Penetrating again now is far more difficult than before."
A pained human face emerged from Mira’s liquid form:
"The fundamental problem lies in the traits of the Abyssal Power itself. It naturally possesses chaotic and twisted attributes, and any creature that accepts it will ultimately be eroded to madness."
"Even if we are extremely careful to control the output power, only providing the most basic energy amplification, irreversible personality distortion will still occur over time."
Shivana’s abdomen squirmed violently, with the larvae inside seemingly more active due to the mother’s agitation:
"This is the fundamental paradox we face. Without Abyssal Power, agents lack sufficient ability to complete tasks; with Abyssal Power, agents inevitably descend into madness."
Nocturn’s twisted body made an abnormal movement, his head rotating 360 degrees:
"And even if agents manage to stay sane, they will struggle to attain high enough status in the Wizard System.
After all, Abyssal Power fundamentally conflicts with the Wizard Magic System, trying to master both entirely opposing power systems is almost impossible."
The entire council chamber fell into a heavy silence.
This problem had troubled them for countless ages.
Every attempt required massive resources and effort, but always ended in failure.
Gradually, even the most optimistic Supreme Apostles began to doubt the feasibility of this path.
But at this moment, Maggs suddenly spoke:
"However... recently I’ve encountered a special opportunity."
Its nine eyes flashed simultaneously, emitting excited, iridescent light:
"An opportunity that can completely change the rules of the game."
All Apostles focused their attention on Maggs.
"This opportunity comes from the ’King of Blood’ Aiden."
Upon hearing this name, the Apostles present showed extremely complex expressions.
"That half-crippled pseudo-king?" Agatha’s voice carried clear disdain:
"Hasn’t he long been trapped in the Chaotic Blood World, unable to protect himself?"
"And as far as I know, his power ranks the lowest among all Witch Kings, even some Top-level Great Wizards can rival him."
One of Malachy’s human heads spoke: "What can such a being offer us?"
Maggs let out a mysterious laugh:
"You’ve only seen his weaknesses, yet overlooked his most crucial advantage—his mastery of Bloodline Modulation technology has reached unprecedented heights."
"Bloodline Modulation?"
"Indeed." Maggs began to elaborate:
"Though Aiden’s strength is lacking, his techniques in bloodline fusion and transformation even surpass those of the past Selena. Especially his unique insights into how different races’ bloodlines can harmoniously coexist."
"More importantly, he has mastered a special technology—the ’Bloodline Isolation Technique’. This technology can completely isolate the Chaos Factor within the bloodline without affecting the bloodline power."
This information made all Apostles’ eyes light up.
If such a technology truly exists, the greatest obstacle faced by the agent plan could be resolved.
"But..." Nas cautiously asked:
"Why would Aiden help us? With his understanding of us, he should know the risks of cooperation."
Maggs’ laughter turned more sinister:
"Because he needs our help. Though the Chaotic Blood World is his domain, even he cannot fully control its level of chaos."
"And we possess something he urgently needs."
Malachy asked with interest: "You mean... mutual exploitation?"
"Exactly." Maggs nodded in confirmation:
"We use our respective legions and subordinates to assist him, and he provides us with Bloodline Isolation Technology. It’s a fair trade, greatly beneficial to both parties."
"Moreover..." Its voice became even more mysterious:
"Aiden has already used this technology to successfully create a perfect specimen."
"Specimen?"
"It’s the Blood Tear Duke Asmond."
At this name, all Apostles were shocked.
Though only an ordinary Apostle in the Abyss, the potential and growth speed of the Blood Tear Duke are undeniable.
He also possesses a Blood Race network across the Main World, an ideal tool for gathering intelligence and executing tasks.
"Are you saying... Asmond is Aiden’s experiment?" Shivana asked incredulously.
Karazek nodded, somewhat intrigued:
"If Asmond truly is a successful case, then this plan is indeed worth trying. At least it seems far more reliable than our previous crude methods."
The other Apostles also began to seriously ponder this proposal.
After endless failures, they had learned to be cautious and rational.
"What is the specific cooperation plan?" Mira asked.
Maggs unfolded a complex magic projection, displaying a spherical energy construct:
"We will merge portions of origin power from all Supreme Apostles to create an unprecedented Throne Seed.
This seed will simultaneously possess all our ability traits but, processed by Aiden’s Bloodline Isolation Technology, won’t cause personality distortion to the carrier."
"The executer modulated by the King of Blood has already successfully infiltrated the Wizard System."
Maggs began to detail this plan:
"This executer differs from previous crude creations. In the process of making it, we were extremely cautious to maintain its sanity and personality integrity.
