Chapter 340 Ancient Eastern Secrets

Even someone as strong as Liv is helpless against genetic collapse.

This is elimination at the level of natural laws; to resist nature... comes at a price.

After that sentence, "I won't force you,"

The atmosphere in Pearl Garden had fallen into a slump, a feeling of helplessness in the face of fate.

"I'm so glad you're back."

When Grandma left with the Heart of the Ocean after Du Jingfeng's death, he was just a little kid, because of the power struggle among her clan.

The mutation of Arthur's body was spreading very slowly but steadily, and his attitude of refusal was exceptionally firm.

"But this is my choice as king..."

Riseben's eyes were red-rimmed; she knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise.

The guards all wore solemn expressions.

They would die for the king, but they could not change the king's decisions.

He stood there silently, like an outsider, an observer.

【Heart of the Ocean】.

This 'relic' was dazzling and truly beautiful, but to him, it was less valuable than a battery [energy core β] that he had plucked from a mutated fish.

Moreover, its "suggested retail" rating dispelled some of his unrealistic fantasies.

So this thing...

In his hands, it was no different from the calcium carbonate imitations that are still gathering dust in the warehouse; they were just stones that could only be looked at.

Besides, I can't keep it; I'll have to return it to Grandma Li later.

But what if we use it to save Arthur?

He pondered for a moment, then looked at each of the key fish present.

The unfathomable Siren Ancestor Liv, the future Queen Risburn, and the loyal Sea Dragon Guard... this fishy relationship is enough for them to roam freely throughout the entire sea.

The only obstacle...

That is the stubborn king himself.

However, I believe that in certain specific situations, a patient's subjective will can be appropriately ignored under the overarching premise of "saving lives"!

Especially when the patient is confused.

"Cough cough."

He cleared his throat, abruptly breaking the somber and heavy atmosphere.

"Your Majesty Arthur."

Seeing that all the fish's eyes were fixed on him, he flashed his signature smile.

"Perhaps... I have other options."

Arthur raised his eyes with some suspicion.

Riseben, as if grasping at a straw, asked urgently:

"What method is it?"

"An ancient secret technique of our Benevolent Society headquarters..."

He organized his lies on the spot...

How can I make this sound both impressive and reasonable?

"You've all witnessed me conjuring objects out of thin air; that's just... the most basic application of 'spatial power.'"

They had indeed witnessed it when Renyi set up a stall in the lab before, and were silently shocked at the time.

Arthur and Fuck Squid exchanged a glance and nodded.

"I can use this ability to build a 'box' inside your body to transfer and store energy."

"We call it—"

Amidst the intense anticipation of everyone, he slowly and in a low voice, having already whetted everyone's appetite:

"Qian, Kun, Da, Nuo, Yi".

The audience from the Dragon Kingdom on Earth: "..."

Klaus quietly raised his tentacle to cover his face. It was probably some nonsense his boss had just made up. He was already feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

Arthur repeated it blankly; the pronunciation was strange and difficult for him.

"That's right."

His expression was focused and serious, as if he were really discussing some rigorous topic:

"The principle behind this secret technique is very complex. Simply put, it involves using external force to guide the disordered genes in your body into the 'space box' I created, thereby achieving the same yin-yang balance effect as the [Heart of the Ocean], which is to strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy."

Seeing the thoughtfulness and interest in Arthur's eyes, Renyi continued to deceive him:

"This method carries extremely high risks. During the procedure, the connection between your brain and body will be temporarily severed. You will fall into a mysterious state where you cannot actively control your body, so... it requires your complete trust."

These words are absolutely true.

It is indeed risky, after all, he has to do something shady;

It's true that he needs trust, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Liv lived a very long time.

But she could sense that the young man in front of her, who also had black hair like her lover, seemed to have no ill intentions.

"Father!"

Riseben grabbed Arthur's arm eagerly, pleading, "Just try it! Whatever the outcome, I... Brona, Via, and I don't want to lose you!"

Rather than stubbornly marching towards extinction, it is better to entrust it to the legendary "Dragon King of the Deep Sea".

"it is good."

Arthur finally relented.

I believe you.

Ren Yi's smile deepened.

Just believe it!

"Klaus, Ivan, we need a relatively 'clean' surgical environment. Please clear away the surrounding debris. Everyone else, please step back twenty meters to avoid causing unnecessary disruption."

Soon, a makeshift "operating table" was cleared out.

Renyi helped Arthur lie down, then said to Riseben and Liv, who were watching nervously, "The following process may involve some... strange phenomena. Please remain calm and do not disturb them."

After saying that, he turned around, his back to the crowd, using his body to block their view.

Then, without making a sound, he made a gesture to Klaus from behind.

—Give me a shock, but don't electrocute me.

Electricity... the king?

Right under the nose of Liv, that sea siren?

Klaus silently revealed "Bob's Treasure" from under his tentacles, then steeled himself and aimed it at a nerve node on the back of Arthur's neck.

"Sizzle—!!"

King Arthur, who was lying peacefully, never expected this calamity. His body suddenly arched and then straightened up, and his smooth, long golden hair instantly stood on end, like a golden sea urchin.

Then its eyes rolled back and it fell silent.

Liv & Risbane: "..."

"Don't misunderstand, this is a necessary part of the surgery!" Klaus explained, his survival instincts kicking in.

I'm quite satisfied with everything.

Engineers are omnipotent.

Even their anesthesia is so professional!

Now, the real "surgery" is about to begin.

He pressed the real Heart of the Ocean against Arthur's chest.

The gem seemed to have found its home, instantly transforming into a pool of liquid light that flowed into Arthur's body through the wound on his skin where a biological conduit had been inserted.

"Buzz—"

A visible deep blue energy wave suddenly spread out from Arthur!

That all-encompassing aura made the surrounding seawater warm and full of life.

The withered plants in Mingzhu Garden have miraculously regained their luster.

The gray scales and skin on Arthur's body, like the earth after melting snow, began to visibly regain their luster and vitality. The half of his mutated limbs, the twisted bones and the overgrown parts, were also slowly returning to their normal form under the wash of this energy.
