All of Nari’s eyes showed a sense of worry, and her tentacles swung uneasily:
"Mom doesn’t want you to take such risks.
That Victor sounds like a complete madman, his lingering consciousness might pollute your spirit..."
"I understand your concern, but this is something I must face."
Ron spoke in a gentle but firm tone, lightly stroking Nari’s nearest tentacle:
"Moreover, I won’t act rashly. I need to return to the observation station and discuss detailed preparations with Professor Uther."
Nari was silent for a long time but eventually nodded in agreement:
"If this is your decision, mom will support you. But you must promise me, no matter what danger you encounter, to contact mom immediately."
"I promise you."
After this in-depth historical exploration, Ron’s understanding of the Stand-In Puppet reached a new level.
It carried the ambition of that crazy alchemist.
To fully control its power, one must bravely face the echoes of sealed history.
The historian’s career change is imminent.
"Speaking of which, after mom absorbed some ability fragments from that old Maggs, her control over power became more precise and she can help you better now."
Ron’s heart rejoiced.
If Nari has acquired part of Maggs’ control skills, then her precise control over her own energy must have greatly improved.
This provided better conditions for his upcoming experiment plans.
"Mom, I do have some important experiments that need your help."
Knowing the other party doesn’t like him being polite, Ron briefly considered and directly stated his needs:
"Further transformation of ’Ink’. If your control is precise enough now, we may attempt some integrations previously unimaginable."
Upon hearing this proposal, Nari’s tentacles started to swing excitedly:
"Of course! Mom can now compress the chaos power to even more microscopic levels!"
Her tone was full of pride, as if showing off her new skills to her beloved child:
"What kind of transformation does the child want? Mom can certainly help you achieve it!"
.........
In the laboratory deep within the palace, various precise devices emitted a faint glow.
Ron took "Ink" out from the specially designed cultivation container.
This loyal assistant had accompanied him for a long time, evolving from a simple tool for cleaning failed fusion products to an important assistant in bloodline research.
Yet, a few final key steps were needed for true evolution.
Through spiritual connection, he could feel the anticipation and tension within "Ink".
The other party also knew that each transformation would make it stronger.
"This transformation will be quite complex..."
Ron took out a delicate crystal bottle, containing the refined bloodline essence extracted from Franka.
"First, we need to integrate this, and then add mom’s chaos blood. The fusion of the two forces might be painful, are you ready?"
"Ink... is not afraid of pain..."
The Slime Monster communicated through the mind connection with firm resolve:
"Ink wants... to help the master... more..."
"Very good."
He gently stroked the Slime Monster’s smooth surface.
The transformation process was divided into three stages.
The first was the fusion of the bloodline essence.
This special bloodline from Franka had strong harmonic traits, enabling different races’ bloodlines to coexist harmoniously.
Ron carefully injected the bloodline essence into the core region of "Ink".
The moment the liquid touched the Slime Monster, the entire laboratory began to emit a faint resonance.
"Ink’s" body started to undergo a marvelous transformation.
Originally a singular black, it began to layer, showing a gradient color from deep black to light gold.
"The bloodline essence is reconstructing its gene expression..."
Ron carefully observed the transformation process, quietly evaluating the progress of integration:
"The harmonic traits are activating, which will provide a buffer for the subsequent chaos fusion..."
The second stage was the most dangerous—the fusion of chaos blood.
"Mom, I need you to compress the concentration of chaos blood to one-thousandth, and then perform ultra-precise separation and purification."
Nari’s tiny tentacle immediately reached towards the experimental table, the tip started secreting a drop of blood as brilliant as liquid stardust.
Under her control, the destructive force within the blood was minimized, while the core traits of chaos fusion were perfectly preserved.
"Mom has reduced the violent conflict to the lowest level..."
Nari carefully adjusted the energy density of the blood:
"But even so, this level of fusion remains extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to proceed, child?"
"Since we’ve reached this point, of course, we must proceed."
Ron used a specially designed dropper to withdraw that drop of chaos blood, his fingers slightly trembling due to proximity to such power.
Even after extreme dilution, the blood still emitted a terrifying pressure capable of distorting space.
"Ink, now we begin the most crucial step. Remember, no matter how painful, maintain clarity of core consciousness."
He gradually dripped the chaos blood into the Slime Monster, precisely where the fusion core was just modified by the bloodline essence.
The moment the blood made contact, the entire laboratory was shaken by an earthquake-like tremor.
"Ink" emitted a wave of painful spiritual fluctuation, its entire body rolling like boiling liquid.
Its previously stable surface began to reveal various bizarre patterns and designs, each representing a potential evolution direction.
Through spiritual connection, Ron clearly felt the immense pain "Ink" was enduring.
It was the agony of its essence being forcefully rewritten, the torment of its existential foundation being violently remodeled.
"Hang in there, Ink!"
He used spiritual power to convey encouragement and support to the Slime Monster while vigilantly monitoring the entire process:
"The harmonic traits of the bloodline essence are coming into play! I can feel the conflicts are easing!"
Indeed, under the modulation of the bloodline essence, the clash between different forces began to stabilize.
The two forces, originally repelling, found a delicate balance within "Ink".
The painful transformation lasted for a full three hours.
When the last trace of energy fluctuation subsided, "Ink’s" appearance underwent a fundamental change.
It was no longer a simple black slime but was bestowed with a deep cosmic hue.
Inside, golden and silver energy threads flowed, each rhythmically pulsating like a living vascular system.
Even more astonishing, "Ink’s" surface started revealing tiny stars.
These stars altered their brightness and color according to surrounding energy changes, like a miniature starry sky circulating within its body.
"Master... Ink feels... very special..."
The Slime Monster’s consciousness sent back a weak but clear feedback:
"Many, many different forces... they no longer harm each other... and Ink feels... it can help them become friends..."
Ron immediately activated "Extraordinary Recognition" to conduct an in-depth analysis, and the results delighted him greatly.
Within "Ink", the bloodline conflicts, accumulated over previous complex adjustments, completely vanished.
Not only could different traits coexist harmoniously, but they even began to produce synergistic effects.
