Red Dragon, but chosen by all four gods

"Ah...ah..."

On the operating table, Izek was tightly bound by chains mixed with mithril, unable to move.

At the same time, his mouth was tightly gagged, and he could only let out some weak groans.

He didn't even have the strength to groan.

Because his chest had been cut open, his lungs were struggling futilely in the air.

He had to endure the pain while trying his best to keep his body from struggling.

He could clearly feel the tools in the dragon's hands manipulating his internal organs.

If he's not careful, even a slight tremor in his internal organs could result in a wound that's difficult to heal.

He was like a fish tied to a chopping board, gutted but not yet dead.

This fear, so close to death, even made the constant, nerve-wracking pain seem bearable.

Ezekiel, who prided himself on being a tough guy and only showed his fierce side, now had tears welling up in his eyes.

……

Heros had no time to care about Izek's suffering.

He had to endure this pain while fully conscious; he could neither fall into a coma nor be anesthetized.

Modifications involving magic and bloodline are not just a matter of the physical body; the soul must also be involved and accept the change.

Izec's physical body is excellent, but his soul is not strong. In the past, because of his lack of cooperation, Heros accidentally collected a lot of data on "mutations".

But today, Heros hopes that nothing unusual will happen.

"Hold on, Mortal, the wound in the heart must remain."

"Yes, I'm trying, brother."

Mortar gritted his teeth and did his best to keep the damaged heart running as Heros had instructed.

Heros took out the bottle of demon blood mixed with Izek's own blood, and used his mage hand to insert it into Izek's chest, then completely wrapped it around his damaged heart.

This experiment is of great significance. If successful, it will allow Heros's bio-alchemy knowledge to advance to the next stage.

Therefore, Heros temporarily set aside his insistence on using general tools and chose to complete the task using his powerful manipulation skills, regardless of the cost.

After the demon blood enveloped Izek's heart, it quickly produced a violent corrosive reaction.

"Ho! Ho!"

Seeing that Izek was on the verge of death, Heros remained calm, as everything was still within his expectations.

He took out the true dragon blood essence that he had prepared beforehand and sent it into Izek's chest as well.

Upon seeing this, Mortar was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he almost lost control of Izek's life.

It's no wonder she was surprised; a fledgling dragon had actually condensed so much true dragon blood essence!

If it were Motal, even at any cost, he could only collect enough for one bottle bottom, and it might even endanger his life.

Despite consuming so much true dragon blood essence, Heros showed no signs of weakness.

Mortal's longing for the power promised by Heros grew even stronger.

In fact, this was already the limit for Heros to gather this bottle of true dragon blood essence.

Of course, given enough time, he can regenerate, but that also takes time.

However, if this kinship is successfully transformed, he will enter the reproduction phase and will no longer need so much true dragon blood as insurance.

Under Heros's control, a large amount of true dragon blood, following his power, gathered near Izek's heart.

Nourished by the dragon's blood, Izek's rapidly depleting life force was replenished, and his heartbeat regained its strength.

"Motal, it's time."

"OK."

Mortar carefully withdrew the magic, and saw that the demon blood seemed to have reached a certain balance with Izek, no longer violently corroding him.

Under Heros's control, the demon blood gradually gathered towards the wound on the heart, and slowly, some fleshy buds grew from the demon blood.

The granulation tissues intertwined, as if imitating a blueprint that had just been copied, and grew up.

After a long time, a new heart grew and attached itself to the wound!

Mortal held his breath and quickly followed Heros's instructions to cut the new "Demon Heart" off the old one, then swiftly sealed the wound.

Heros then adjusted the position of the two hearts, connecting them through blood vessels.

The two hearts cannot immediately coordinate, but Izek's orc bloodline will continue to try to heal itself and gradually find a new balance.

The two hearts will greatly enhance his strength, stamina, and regeneration, and the demon blood and true dragon blood will also modify his bloodline, enhance his regeneration, and grant him magic resistance.

Using the essence of a true dragon as a life-extending medicine and a magic neutralizer is undoubtedly a huge waste.

He has already consumed most of the dragon blood in his chest cavity, and the remaining dragon blood will slowly merge into his bloodline, allowing his body to gradually transform into a dragon descendant.

In short, this will take some time.

At this moment, a hint of joy finally appeared in Heros's eyes.

"Motal, stitch up his chest. It's all done."

Upon hearing this, Mortal breathed a long sigh of relief, then, with his magic power nearly depleted, he began to stitch up Izek.

As Heros observed Izek's changes, he suddenly sensed that the "Dream Palace" had been disturbed.

Did the knowledge gained from the experiment trigger "Azure"?

Heros first recorded all the details of the operation in his journal, and then handed the journal to Motal, who had finished suturing.

"These are the final details; study them carefully."

Upon hearing this, Mortar was both surprised and delighted. Just as he was about to shower Heros with flattery, he discovered that Heros had already left the experimental cave.

"I'm a little tired, I need to take a nap. We'll talk when I wake up."

Motar clicked his tongue, feeling somewhat insecure about his charm.

However, her attention was immediately drawn to the notebook.

Although Heros didn't hide most of the records from her, did officially handing over this notebook to her mean that Heros recognized her contributions and was ready to give her power?

She had never forgotten that the power that allowed that foolish white-scaled Angel to crush her must have come from Heros!

Excitedly, she flew out of the experimental cave.

She had to show off her brother's favor to those two idiots right now!

Being a dragon means living for the moment!

……

Heros's consciousness returned to the magnificent palace in his dream.

Over the past three years, whenever he has acquired enough knowledge, "Azure" will be triggered, granting him a small amount of "Intelligence" attribute.

Although it wasn't as much as the first time he overturned the order, the improvement was still obvious. However, Heros also knew that he was still just a fledgling dragon under the wings of Seraria and did not yet have the power to set the old world ablaze.

Knowledge offers fewer rewards, but its advantage lies in its stability.

Heros entered the palace and indeed saw that the star on "Azure," painted with books and scrolls, representing knowledge, was faintly glowing.

He was about to collect his reward when his gaze was drawn to another statue.

On the verdant statue, a new star is shining brightly.
