The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

The power of Order overflowed through the Scarlet King's eyes, suppressing any sentiment he might have had toward the young woman, allowing his disguise to fool the duo.

William immediately took a step forward and positioned himself between the Scarlet King and Astrid. He didn't feel a threat coming from the man and was confident he could defeat this one. Still, those red eyes glowed with willpower that conveyed a sense of certainty and resolution he believed could only exist in an emotionless monster.

After a moment, and making sure the duo could sense the absence of any form of emotion in his eyes, the Scarlet King descended to the mountain's peak. His eyes grew sharp as he focused on William before turning to Astrid.

"So, you are the young woman my disciple is so infatuated with." The Scarlet King paused at this point before speaking with a tone full of aloofness.

"Ah, youthful love. What a waste of time. Someone who follows my teaching can not distract himself with such useless emotions."

Astrid clenched her fists upon hearing those words. She had initially wondered why Kain had spoken as if they might never see each other again before leaving the castle. However, now that she heard the words of the man with the red mask, it was clear that he did not approve of any kind of romantic relationship.

"Enough. We are not here to speak about the relationships of young people."

William noticed his daughter's state and immediately redirected the conversation, causing a sharp silver light to appear in his eyes.

The Scarlet King turned to the Atrox Duke and nodded before waving his hand, making a Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber appear.

"The negotiations are done, so let's not waste time. Get into the genetic chamber so I can start the process."

Astrid stared at the Scarlet King for a moment but did not move right away, as the man did not inspire trust.

The Scarlet King expected such a response, as he was playing the role of an eccentric and cold-hearted master.

"Your life has no meaning to me, and I couldn't care less if you gain the ability to cultivate or not. On the other hand, harming you will incite the fury of your father and my disciple. After knowing all that, there should be no reason to worry about my intentions."

Astrid couldn't help but agree with the logic behind those words, and after receiving her father's nod, she jumped into the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber. Despite being surrounded by a strange liquid, she was not suffocated and soon felt a force begin to scan her body to the point of analyzing her genome.

William's eyes burst with silver light as he used the full power of his Ego Wave to monitor his daughter. If he detected any danger to Astrid's life, he would shatter the genetic chamber and save his daughter before attacking the Scarlet King with all his power.

The Scarlet King could feel the Ego Wave of the man, but he didn't worry since it could not affect his work. Actually, the only reason he even bothered to place Astrid in the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber was to give the illusion that he was the one altering her genome and not the Absolute Life Form System.

Once everything was in place, the Scarlet King adopted a solemn expression as his Ego Wave burst with power and fused with the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber, as if he were ready to work. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

'System, use the [Atomic Genetic Rewrite] tool on the woman.'

[Using Atomic Genetic Rewrite on the target will cost 1 M Destin Force. Is Vessel sure?]

Although seeing the cost made the Scarlet King's eyes twitch, he clenched his teeth and gave the go-ahead.

'Do it.'

[Using Atomic Genetic Rewrite on the target]

Less than a second after hearing the message in his mind, the Scarlet King saw Astrid's body tremble inside the genetic chamber, and it didn't take long for the trembling to become severe convulsions.

Due to her armor, one couldn't see Astrid's figure directly, but the Scarlet King's Ego Wave showed him how her skin began to peel off.

Shock appeared in the Scarlet King's eyes as he witnessed such a gory scene, and the same happened with William, but the two managed to remain calm as they saw that her vital signs were all stable.

The changes to Astrid's body grew more and more intense as her entire circulatory system broadened, and a mass of muscles and bones began to cover the area around the Evolution Core. The process aimed to do a total rewrite of Astrid's genome, returning her genes to the most basic state of her race.

The changes in Astrid's body meant that there was a time when the Atrox Immortus race had these physical characteristics in every newborn.

The Scarlet King couldn't help but be impressed by these physical characteristics. While at his level, they meant very little, they could prove immensely helpful to people who were just embarking on the Path of Power, ensuring the safety of their Sacred Organs while their bodies were still weak.@@novelbin@@

Half an hour passed, and Astrid's body finally stopped convulsing. She slowly opened her eyes and exited the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber before removing the Bio Atrox Armor that had covered her body.

The Scarlet King's eyes widened as he saw Astrid's physical appearance after her genome returned to the most basic state of the Atrox Immortus Race. Of course, he could hide those emotions thanks to the power of Order.

On the other hand, Willian could not hide his emotions, and the shock in his eyes was clear to everybody.

Astrid noticed the look on her father was also staring at her with shock. A sense of dread overwhelmed her as she immediately took a mirror from her space ring. When she finally saw her appearance, she was left stunned.

She was stunningly beautiful.

The young Atrox's woman's face was small and delicate, with skin as white as snow and pointy ears. Astrid looks no different than an elf from the Old World's fairy tales.
