Chapter 2: Modification Surgery
Soon, news of Li Ang launching the "War of Warriors" against the Green-skinned Monster delegation spread throughout the entire capital.
Most people are cursing the new King Leon, calling him arrogant and conceited for daring to challenge the green-skinned monsters and initiating a competition that is bound to be lost!
Only a very small minority felt that the new King Leon had backbone and did not directly agree to pay reparations and cede towns.
The rules of the "Battle of Warriors" stipulate that each side sends one warrior, and the use of any fighting spirit or magic is prohibited. The warriors must fight to the death on the arena using only the most primitive and savage physical strength.
The green-skinned monsters are generally several meters tall, with muscles coiled like piled-up rocks, making them natural powerhouses.
To fight him with only flesh and blood? In everyone's eyes, this was a sure way to lose!
The cabinet ministers were in complete chaos.
Chancellor of the Exchequer was most worried: "The national treasury only has ten million gold coins left. If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
Foreign Minister Tester curled his lip: "His Majesty Leon is too arrogant! Duke Kalocci, another nephew of the former King Gudroni, is much more low-key and composed..."
Upon hearing this, Minister of Ceremonies Andrew immediately retorted coldly, "Tester, watch your words!"
Sancher smoothed things over, saying, "Gentlemen, do not be discouraged. Prime Minister Tobias has received the news and is on his way from the western border of the kingdom. Please trust in the Prime Minister's resourcefulness!"
At this moment, inside the palace.
Li Ang carefully studied the [Golden Faith Godhood System]!
The system's primary function at present is to develop professionals and train special forces!
The first unlock of the system is free.
Now, all six career options have clearly stated their prices.
Like when I just unlocked the [Legendary Knight] class for Edmund.
Click to see the details:
Class of Servants: Legendary Knight
Unlock cost: 300 Faith Points per person
Requirements for modified bodies: 1. Loyalty ≥ 80 points
2. Cultivation level ≥ Intermediate Fighter
After the unlocking was successful, a basic [Force Seed] was implanted into Edmund's body!
Li Ang asked the system sprite that resembled a weasel, "Brother Weasel, Edmund is currently my most loyal and valiant general. Using only the basic version of the [Force Seed] might not be appropriate, right?"
The weasel's voice sounded somewhat weak, but its authority was undeniable: "Current system level LV1. Once you upgrade to LV2, the advanced version [Force Seed] will be unlocked!"
Li Ang asked with some suspicion, "Brother Pizi, how come the other four systems I awakened after ascending the throne disappeared and left my body so quickly? And, judging from your tone, it seems you had a fight with someone? You seem very tired and weak now?"
The weasel was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Don't overthink it! The Golden Faith Godhood System is the best system!"
Li Ang said no more and turned his attention to the system store.
Thanks to the unlocking of the [Legendary Knight] class, several icons in the shop are now glowing faintly.
The first item is one set of medical blueprints for the [Organ Modification Technique*Muscle Enhancement Technique].
The normal price is 10,000 Faith Points, but there's a newbie benefit: it's currently available for free.
The other is the 90-minute usage right of the [Medical Servant], which normally costs 1000 Faith Points, but with the newbie benefits, it can also be purchased for free.
"The green monster's physical strength is too great; modifying only one organ probably won't be enough."
Li Ang was somewhat worried and continued to scroll down the page.
[Organ Modification Surgery * Secondary Heart Implantation] Accompanying Medical Blueprints * 1 copy
The normal price is 50,000 faith points, but fortunately, there are also benefits for new players, so this time it's free to buy.
To be absolutely certain, Li Ang even made a special trip to the palace's ice cellar.
In the center of the ice cellar, the remains of a silver-armored dragon were encased in ice.
The giant dragon lay on its side like a cold mountain range, its body length exceeding fifty meters.
The long dragon tail was covered in lacerations, and the sharp toe of one of its forepaws was broken off by brute force and twisted out of shape.
The most fatal wound was on his abdomen, a huge gash cleaved open by a sharp axe.
Opposite the dragon was a frozen "giant hand" that was eight or nine zhang long.
The skin of the hand was rough like ancient rock strata, with a deep brown color, and the back of the hand was covered with long, stiff, brown hairs that curled like steel needles.
The severed wrist was gruesome and horrific, jagged and covered with terrifying giant teeth marks and lacerations, clearly indicating that it had been bitten off by teeth.
Li Ang knew that the owner of the hand was someone left behind by another powerful race in this world: the Titans!
The Titan and the Silver-Armored Dragon fought and perished together. Because the battle took place in the Kingdom of Grant, the former King Gudroni ordered his soldiers to transport the remains of the dragon and the Titan to the palace's ice cellar, where they were frozen.
According to Gudroni, dragons and Titans are the top creatures on the continent, and their corpses have countless uses, such as for making potions and crafting weapons.
For several other reasons, it was never used during Gudroni's reign, and now it all belongs to Leon.
The key to the legendary knight's "organ modification technique" lies in obtaining suitable "new organs"!
The LV1 system does not provide culture dishes or "artificial organs" created through gene cloning.
Li Ang could only obtain it himself, but fortunately, the corpses of dragons and titans solved the problem.
At Li Ang's command, the palace warriors broke through the ice and dug out the complete "heart" of the silver-armored dragon.
Similarly, the Titan's hand was thawed by hot water.
Inside the palace, Li Ang summoned the loyal Edmund.
"Edmund, next, I need to modify you!"
"The 'Battle of the Warriors' against the Green-skinned Monsters requires your participation!"
Li Ang said in a deep voice.
Edmund's loyalty to Leon reached 90 points, making him a confidant among confidants. Despite being filled with doubt about the unknown, he still raised his knight's sword: "Edmund, I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty!"
"Very well, Edmund, may the glory of knighthood protect you! May your strong will hold out until the very end! Remember, this transformation of you concerns the rise and fall of the kingdom, and even more so, the revival of the entire human race! If you feel you cannot go on, you must persevere, persevere, persevere until the very end!"
Li Ang solemnly reminded him.
With a slight thought from Li Ang, the [Medical Servant] was extracted.
Edmund lay on the cold iron bed, removed his armor, and closed his eyes.
Step 1: Forging - Titan's Might
The medical operative's robotic arm fired high-energy rays, precisely dissecting the Titan's giant hand and peeling off dark golden muscle fibers.
Then, it "wove" the flesh into Edmund's body at an astonishing speed.
The integration of each Titan muscle caused Edmund's body to tremble violently, his muscles began to reshape like rock layers, and a molten gold luster flowed beneath the surface of his skin.
Edmund let out heart-wrenching screams, repeatedly fainting from the excruciating pain, only to be forcibly pulled back by the cold life support system of his servants, suffering repeated torment.
Twenty minutes later, the muscle modification was complete.
Edmund's physique had become noticeably more robust, his muscles brimming with explosive power, and a dark golden sheen subtly flowing beneath his skin.
Edmund gasped for breath, looking at Leon: "Your Majesty... is it over?"
Li Ang shook his head: "We have to continue!"
Step Two: Implanting the Silver Dragon Immortal Heart
[Medical Servant] raises the silver dragon heart.
Although the silver dragon had long since died in battle, its heart still radiated a magnificent light and a powerful, chilling aura.
Dozens of laser beams sliced open Edmund's chest, precisely avoiding vital organs.
The silver dragon's heart was placed inside, and countless tiny, nerve-like probes extended out to begin the microscopic grafting of blood vessels and connection of nerves.
At first, his two hearts beat erratically, Edmund bled from his seven orifices, and his body was taut like a bow.
As the servo surgery progressed, the beating of the two hearts gradually synchronized, eventually merging into a powerful "double pulse"!
Throughout the entire process, Li Ang was also extremely nervous, his clenched fists covered in sweat.
I was terrified that Edmund would break down!
After all, the transformation of a legendary knight is doomed to failure if his willpower weakens even slightly!
As the [Medical Servant] completed the final stitching, its ninety-minute usage period expired, and it turned into particles of light, dissipating into the air.
On the iron bed, Edmund slowly sat up, his eyes shimmering with a mixture of silver and gold light.
"Your Majesty, Edmund senses an unprecedentedly powerful force!"
