Chapter 55: Monster Gene Extractor, Monster Gene-Seed Astartes

Rhode remembered this item being created by some company as a work to attract the younger generation of audiences.

Before transmigrating, Rhode hadn't really watched much of it, having only seen a few pictures of monster girls online. To be honest, Rhode didn't know much about this franchise.

However, the description above didn't seem to be about any monster girl transformation, but rather a monster gene extraction and enhancement device that merely originated from that franchise.

Monster Gene Extraction and Enhancement Device, crafted by an unknown, great alien scientist.

User's Annotation: What on earth are those monster girls made by Earthlings? Some kind of costume transformation show? Just for cuteness?

Foolish Earthlings, come and witness my great work!

My great invention is not some performance where human women dress up in leather suits; this is a true enhancement of monster abilities.

Rhode began to carefully read through the detailed instruction manual for this monster gene extraction and enhancement device.

When using it, one must first select a target monster, then use this device to extract the target monster's blood to obtain its monster genes, followed by synthesis and enhancement.

Inject it into the body of another intelligent life form. Once the monster genes and the target genes have fully fused, the intelligent life form undergoes a comprehensive enhancement of all monster abilities.

The advantage is that one can inherit the monster's various abilities and significantly improve physical fitness.

The disadvantage is that the target will completely lose their human appearance, and their own genes will be utterly altered. With good luck, they might become half-human, half-monster, with their body showing monster-like characteristics.

However, there is also a probability that the target monster's genes will completely alter them, turning them into a small monster, causing them to completely lose their sanity and be consumed by the monster genes.

Because they are monster genes, this genetic alteration is almost irreversible, making this thing seem pretty useless to himself!

There is no way he would be bored enough to give the little nun an injection and turn her into a half-human, half-monster!

This thing also had a lot of uncertainties. If the target could not withstand the enhancements and alterations brought by the monster genes, they would completely transform into a humanoid monster and lose their sanity.

Therefore, this item was not some monster girl manufacturing device, but rather a piece of equipment developed by aliens that could extract monster genes and then perform enhancements.

This thing was somewhat similar to his own monster ability enhancement system!

He, too, gained a portion of a monster's power, albeit only a ten-thousandth of it.

Yet, compared to his system's comprehensive and safe enhancements, this device had far too many side effects!

Perhaps this thing could be used to backstab people! For instance, when he enters the upper echelons of the Empire in the future, there will inevitably be some people jumping out to cause trouble.

At that time, he could just give them an injection of monster gene enhancement, turn the target into a semi-humanoid monster, and then claim that the individual had been corrupted by demons or xenomorphs.

Declare them a heretic and eliminate them.

It would be exceptionally useful for dealing with political rivals. Although human society does accept certain abhumans, if you completely turn into a monster, no one will protect you.

However, it could only be used to scheme against five people, which wasn't very cost-effective. Besides, among monster populations, there are certain monsters capable of infecting targets, making this completely unnecessary.

This thing was essentially the gene-seed of a monster! Wait! Gene-seed! Rhode suddenly thought of something.

He had undergone monster power enhancement; strictly speaking, weren't his genes also extremely powerful?

Moreover, his were pure human genes. No matter how he underwent monster ability enhancements in the future, he would only acquire the physical fitness and special abilities of monsters.

What if the target monster extraction was replaced by extracting a bit of his own blood for genetic enhancement and cultivation?

First, it could be determined that the target would definitely not mutate into some kind of monster, and their body would not undergo any strange alterations at all, because Rhode possessed pure human genes.

Although the enhancement effect might not be as potent as monster genes, the enhancement would be safe.

Rhode gradually figured out what the true purpose of this monster gene extraction and enhancement device was.

It could be used to extract his own genes for enhancement.

The problem, however, was that this gene extraction and enhancement device only had five charges, and given Rhode's current capabilities, he could not replicate it.

So could he change his train of thought? For example, crafting it into the gene-seed of the Warhammer universe, following the route of Space Marine augmentation.

Rhode himself was not a true Primarch created by the Emperor. Using imperial gene-extraction methods, it was fundamentally impossible to extract Rhode's gene-seed to create Astartes battle-brothers.

Yet this monster gene extraction device could extract his monster-enhanced genes.

Then, they could be cultivated into usable gene-seeds, allowing Rhode to build his very own Astartes Legion in the future!

His very own genetic offspring. One must know that genetic offspring show almost unconditional obedience to their genetic father.

In the future, he would still need some mortal armies under his command. While monsters could be used to crush everything straight through in certain places, other locations would still require supplementary mortal armies.

Furthermore, using his own monster-enhanced gene-seeds, there would be absolutely no need to worry about Warp corruption or mutation.

The Primarchs came from the Warp, but he did not. His gene-seeds belonged to a category that was absolutely safe with no side effects.

Moving up in the high echelons of the Empire in the future while bearing the identity of a Primarch without having his own Astartes Legion would be far too disgraceful.

After a short while, once he underwent the monster ability enhancement of Bemular, he would even acquire the ability to survive in space, which would vastly increase his combat effectiveness and survivability.

The Astartes Space Marines cultivated using his gene-seeds would possess combat effectiveness far surpassing ordinary Astartes.

Using this monster gene extraction and enhancement device for assassinations and underhanded schemes was making a mountain out of a molehill!

Using it to extract his own gene-seeds and then cultivating his own Space Marine Legion was the most cost-effective choice.

To accomplish this, he had to meet Belisarius Cawl. Cawl possessed the detailed methods for crafting gene-seeds and could verify whether Rhode's hypothesis was correct.

Having figured out the correct way to use it, Rhode placed the extracted monster gene enhancement item back into his system space.

Extracting his own blood for genetic cultivation could be scheduled right after enhancing his monster abilities with Bemular and Gomora!

Gomora's physical constitution was exceptionally powerful, and its super-oscillation wave destructive power was quite impressive.

The ferocious transformation was also extremely useful, resembling the Space Wolves' Wulfen Helix, which could significantly boost the combat effectiveness of his Astartes Legion.

Most importantly, Gomora's lifespan was extremely long, reaching a staggering one hundred and fifty million years. Even reduced by a factor of ten thousand, that still left a lifespan of fifteen thousand years.

After enhancing the powers of the two monsters, Bemular and Gomora, Rhode was confident his physical fitness would not lose to a Primarch.

As for future monster enhancements, Rhode had no desire to share them out; the enhanced powers of three monsters were already more than enough.
