The laboratory is huge, covering half of the underground of the palace, but there is only one operating room at the core.

The heavy door opened to both sides, and standing in the center of the white and cold laboratory was a male Beta wearing a white lab coat.

——Rhein Deloitte, chief academician of the Imperial Academy of Life Sciences, and also the Chief Physician of the Royal Family.

Seeing Atres appearing, he stopped talking with his assistant, stepped forward, adjusted the monocular glasses on his face, "Your Majesty is busy with business, let me check your body first."

After speaking, he let Atres sit down in front of the laboratory table, stretched out his arms and put them on the table, while he took out the needle tube and several glass reagent bottles from the cabinet beside him.

Dr. Rhine wiped the inside of Atres' elbow with an alcohol swab, "The last time I saw you was a child, now you are considered an adult."

Atres didn't say a word, Doctor Rhine picked up the blood collection needle again, "Are you still as afraid of pain as before?"

"I've never been afraid of pain," Atreus said, staring at him.

Dr. Rhine smiled, and suddenly pierced the needle. Atres' eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.

The bright blood was injected into the blood collection bottle along the hose, and a total of five tubes were collected before the end.

After handing the blood sample to the assistant, Doctor Rhine turned to Atres and said, "Your Highness, please change your clothes now and lie down on the instrument over there."

The instrument in his mouth is located in the center of this laboratory. It looks like a round platform with a height of about 1 meter and a diameter of about 3 meters. The lower part is like a nuclear reactor, and the upper part is sealed.

Atres changed into a white loose long dress and walked out of the dressing room, lying down in the center of the round platform.The instrument trembled, and a blue light swept across him from head to toe, and then a few restraint belts popped out from the edge of the round platform, tightly clasping his limbs and waist.

A huge hemispherical cover slowly descended from the top of the head, tightly covering the circular platform, above which was connected a huge mechanical arm, and countless pipelines.

Dr. Rhine walked to the other side of the laboratory, where the entire wall was covered with more than 20 screens of different sizes and functions, simultaneously outputting various graphics and data.

The assistant stepped back and stopped disturbing. The laboratory was extremely quiet, except for the sound of "didi" from the instrument from time to time.

The door suddenly opened automatically, and a male Alpha strode in. The assistants all bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

The person who walked in only wore an indigo robe casually, but he looked noble and unrestrained, with a handsome and strong appearance, his eyes were like falcons, but his lips were a bit harsh, and his half-length blond hair was naturally curly, scattered on his shoulders.

"How is it?" He went straight to the console and glanced at the screen.

Physician Rhine got up and saluted, "His Royal Highness's overall condition is very good, the blood shackles have been completely released, and no sequelae of physical changes have been found for the time being, and the injuries from the previous assassination have also recovered."

"What about his mental strength and physical strength level?"

"His Highness's mental power level has broken through SSS and reached EX level. It is impossible to estimate the specific value for the time being, but according to the test results, the strength of his spiritual center has expanded by about 1000 times compared to before. As for the physical level, he has officially reached Class S."

"S-level?" The emperor was a little surprised. Atreus had maintained his physical strength at A-level before, but he broke through to S-level in such a short period of time. Is it because of his adulthood?

He pondered for a moment, "With his current physical strength, he should be able to carry out the third stage of strengthening, right?"

"Yes." Chief Doctor Rhine looked at the screen. The test results showed that His Highness's genetic form and blood distribution had undergone some changes, but he did not find that these changes had any impact on his health.

"Then let's get started."

"Now?" Dr. Rhine was slightly taken aback, and after receiving His Majesty's affirmation, he frowned, "Do you need to give Your Highness an anesthetic?"

"Need not."

Doctor Rhine hesitated, "His Highness's mental acuity is tens of millions of times that of ordinary people, so his perception of pain is also tens of millions of times that of ordinary people. The pain caused by the third stage of strengthening is even worse than before. Soldiers with strong willpower will have a nervous breakdown, if you don't use anesthesia, I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to hold on..."

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the large screen in the center, staring at Atreus lying quietly and flat inside, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, "You should know that anesthesia will affect the strengthening effect, what is a little pain? He must hold on! "

Under the hemispherical cover, Atres suddenly opened his eyes as if he had a premonition of something.

There was a huge spiral light above his head, which was so white and dazzling that it made people feel a little dazed. In his ears, there was a distant impact sound that seemed to come from the universe. side effects of the magnetic field.

"Are you coming?" He muttered to himself, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, several tubes stretched out from the void, pierced into his body, and one was connected to the top of his head. Two are connected to his temples on both sides, and the ends of the collarbone, spine, and limbs are also connected by one or several pipes.

"Eighteen...five more than before." He thought idly, it seems that this time will be different.

The cold liquid was poured in along the tube, and the feeling of foreign body invasion was not very good. The body instinctively repelled it, but before the actual resistance effect was produced, the entire hemispherical cover was shrouded in a turbulent electric field.

Through the specific regular pulses generated by the electric field, the goal of transforming the genes, blood vessels, and body of the human body is achieved. This is the most successful research achievement of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in the past 20 years.

A long time ago, people discovered that after being struck by lightning, some people's bodies would change, and they would become stronger, jump farther, and even have special abilities.After countless experiments and failures, the researchers of the royal family finally touched the mystery, making this mutation controllable, but so far only Atreus has been able to enjoy the honor of accepting this technological transformation.

In fact, the entire laboratory was built for Atreus, and all the nearly [-] staff members only serve him.

Part of the liquid injected into Atres’ body is the guide fluid, which can protect his body and help control the direction, rhythm and intensity of the pulse; the other part is the strengthening and regenerative medicine, responsible for repairing and strengthening the body.

The slender and recursive beam of electric light filled the sky and surroundings of his body, and the genetic structure that had been initially solidified under the action of the light pool changed again, and the unstable structure released the powerful energy deep in the blood vessels, transforming the body and meridians ...

At the same time, great pain invaded along the edge of the body, like a sharp knife falling into the deep sea, piercing the surface of the sea and entering the bottomless length.

It hurts so much that even self is lost, forgotten, everything is erased.

The first thing I lost was my vision. Even with my eyes open, I could still feel that the lights above my head were still hot, but I only saw a piece of darkness, like being in a black sea, without the concept of color and light.

Then he also lost his sense of hearing. There was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice talking outside the hood. He could clearly realize the concept of sound and perceive the occurrence, process and end of the conversation, but he couldn't "hear".

The only thing that can be felt is pain.

Doctor Rhine looked at the image on the screen, and Atres was quietly surrounded by electric light, without struggling or even making a sound.

"Your Highness is..." His eyes showed a bit of solemnity and suspicion.

"He's much stronger than I thought." The emperor raised the corners of his mouth, looked away from the screen, and sat down to wait for the enhancement to end.

The lightning gradually dissipated, and the peeling will returned. Atres moved his fingers and opened his eyes. The spiral white halo above his head was reflected into his pupils. He twitched the corners of his mouth, "That's all."

"ended."

The hood was raised, and with a slight movement of Atreus, the restraints snapped and fell off.

He stood up without saying a word, his body was covered with mottled blood, which was shocking against the dazzling blond hair.

His expression was extremely indifferent, without any warmth.

The dangerous aura that had been restrained could not be suppressed again, and he stood there not like a human being, but like some extremely dangerous starry sky behemoths.

The assistants who had stepped forward to help him down suddenly took a step back collectively, holding their breath, and their spines felt cold.

Dr. Rhine glanced at them, and reported the test results, "The strengthening is complete, the current physical level is SSS, and the mental level is EX."

"The effect is not bad." A trace of satisfaction flashed in His Majesty's eyes.

More than satisfaction, the difference between S-level and SSS can be said to be a natural barrier. Even a genius who is one in a million usually needs more than ten years to cross this gap.But now Atres has completed the transformation overnight, which can almost be called a miracle.

It's a pity that this technology consumes so much energy and money that it cannot be promoted at all.Moreover, the requirements for the mental strength and willpower of the person to be strengthened are also extremely high. Looking at the entire empire, I am afraid that only Atres can survive to complete the third stage of strengthening.

Atres came down from the round platform, staggered, and quickly stabilized his figure. Because of the sudden increase in strength, his control over his body weakened a lot for a while, and he still needed to adapt.

His Majesty the Emperor said: "Go and wash it, let's talk after it's clean."

The Palace of Frost and Winter in the north of the palace is the place where His Majesty the Emperor lives daily. Although it is summer, it is covered with green cypresses and cedars, and the grass is dotted with white flowers.

In the courtyard of the palace, Atres sat opposite His Majesty the Emperor.There are two or three tea sets between the two of them, containing the new tea just picked from the Far East Starfield.

"Tea," said the emperor.

"I don't want to drink."

The emperor looked at Atres on the opposite side, and Atres also looked at him at the same time. The handsome face was not quite like him, but more like the deceased queen, but his expression was completely different, rebellious, sharp and Indifferently, there was a hint of impatience between her brows as if she had been stared at for a long time.

"You have really grown up a lot." The emperor picked up the teacup and said playfully, "In the past, you showed all your emotions clearly, and you would rather play games than look at me, but now you have learned to endure your unhappiness Eye to eye with me."

Atreus moved his eyelids, but kept silent.

"I heard that you were in school during this time."

"Ah."

"Do you like school?"

"do not like."

"why?"

"boring."

"Then when are you coming back?"

"not coming back."

"why?"

"It's even more boring to come back."

"Want to go to the battlefield?"

"For now...don't want to."

"So you still want to stay at school?"

"Ah."

"I heard you made friends at school?"

Atreus raised his head suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"The illegitimate son of Yixiute? I heard he is a genius." The emperor's hand held the lid of the teacup, and gently slid across the edge of the cup.

Atres didn't answer, but his dark golden eyes narrowed.

The emperor took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "After more than ten years of operation by Yixiut, the Dark Star Legion has already been like a copper wall, impermeable. Even the royal family is difficult to mobilize, let alone intervene in its affairs. As that child, If you make good use of it, you can use him to open the gap and wait for the opportunity to take this power back to the royal family. Your decision is correct, but are you confident that he will give up his family's interests and stand by your side?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Atreus pushed the teacup on the small table with a finger.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me." The emperor said in a meaningful tone, "This is a matter between you and him, but what I want to tell you is that Yixiut and the empire are not enemies. The empire needs you and him, so you I will not interfere in the struggle between the two."

"This is your war and your trial. The throne belongs only to the final victor."

Having said that, he put his hands on his knees and twirled the teacup leisurely, "You are the perfect weapon I made, the strongest blade of the empire, although it is not yet fully formed, but the sharpness is enough to shine on the sun and the moon. I Don't worry about your combat power, but if you want to become an emperor, it is not enough to rely on personal bravery. You have to learn to control everything in this world, and let people's hearts and external things be used by you. It is impossible to be alone like before. Live in your own world, do you understand?"

Atres looked at him sharply, but did not answer directly, but said, "I will win."

The emperor put down the tea, "Then I will wait and see."

He watched Atreus leave, and the palace returned to silence.

Doctor Rhine walked out of the back room and sat down next to the emperor. This palace didn't even have servants. As His Majesty's most trusted confidant, he was the only one who could freely enter and leave the entire palace.

He hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to intervene? Your Highness said that the person who assassinated him was..." He swallowed the words, as if he committed some taboo.

"Is what he said must be true?" The emperor looked at the pines and cypresses in front of him, but his expression did not change at all.

"So what if it's true?" He paused and said again.

"Whether or not Yixiut really assassinated him is not important at all, the important thing is that I didn't realize that Yixiut had the ability to do that until Atres told me." His eyebrows Wrinkled into plain words, "Since Yixiut's power is strong enough to threaten the royal family, it is necessary to cut off his wings no matter what he does or not. Yixiut is one of my best brothers and my trusted right-hand man , I can’t attack him, only Atreus can do that, a fight is inevitable.”

The emperor raised the hem of his robe, leaned against the garden wall, and raised his teacup again, "Do you think he told me why and asked me for help? No, he is testing me, but I am also testing him."

"A sheltered lion cub cannot grow up. I have given him enough power, but power cannot solve all problems. There are still many things in this world that are worth learning slowly, and it depends on him."

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the tea in the cup. It was clear and sweet, green like jade, but it was poured into the grass beside his feet like a pot.

He never liked drinking tea, but as a king, it was his duty to taste the most precious tribute of the empire.He needs to forget about his personal preferences and live like an emperor.

He used to be as rebellious and selfish as that child. At that time, there were still many members of the royal family, and the palace was always very lively.However, they all died in battle one by one, so he who was once the most ineffective became the emperor.After that, his children also died in the Hundred Years' War.He has been in pain, but he knows that they are necessary victims, only in this way can the royal family maintain the last hearts of the people and stand still.

"Atres is the only descendant of the royal family. He was born lonely. His world is only his own, and he lacks compassion and empathy for the outside world. He treats everyone equally, and at the same time can override everyone, like being high above Such a god is enough to be a judge, but not a manager. He is the strongest weapon of the empire, and also a double-edged sword. It can bring victory, but it is also enough to subvert and destroy the country."

"This internal strife may drag the country into turmoil, but the one who survives may be the one who can really set things right and clear the way against the current. Yixiut is the best whetstone. To win the war, Atres must abandon his arrogance and insist on learning to integrate into this world. Under the current predicament, if he can break through, he is truly qualified to become the new emperor of the empire!"

One side of the palace door opened, and Atreus walked out accompanied by three Alphas.

He walked in the front, and said in an unusually calm voice: "You are my subordinates, you only need to obey my orders, and you don't need to obey anyone else, even if that person is the emperor of the empire."

The three Alphas were taken aback at the same time, but only saw a firm and aloof figure from the back.

"Forget it this time, there will be no next time, do you understand?"

"As ordered!"

Atres turned his head and looked at the tall palace wall for the last time. He grew up on the battlefield and hadn't been here a few times, but the only few times he didn't leave any pleasant memories.

He didn't like the people who lived there, or the way they lived.

The man who bears the name of his father is a qualified politician. He sacrificed his relatives in exchange for the last dignity of the royal family. He lost everything he cherished, and he is just an empty space on the top of the noble tower of the empire. Shells and symbols are not qualified to educate themselves.

Although he is probably just a tool, a saber leading to victory.

"But even if I am a knife, I still have the right to choose my own knife holder."

He pressed his hand on his chest, where there was a shallow scar at the position of his heart, "I will only protect what I want..."

He will not be swayed by anyone's will, nor does he want to change himself.

He will cut his way with the supreme blade, but not for the Empire, but as Atreus, that's all.
